WJNT-AM on multiple frequencies

[danfling]

I was in my car on Tuesday. WJNT (1180) was heard on 1060, 1070, 1080 and 1090. Why is this station heard on these frequencies?

Where were you hearing this? I know who to call, but need a little more information.

Too bad we did not hear back from @danfling. I was interested in hearing why.

What time was this? How far were you away? They run 50 kW days and 10 kW critical hours. How good is your car radio? Sounds like it might have been receiver overload and/or intermod. Are other Jackson-area stations showing up on different spots on the dial? You need to be more specific.

I was in Jackson. I cannot recall which street I was on. When I go back to Jackson, I will see if this happens again and try to remember where I was.

I suspect its the car radio.

I had this happen when going through a small town in texas.. had an am show up on a few nearby frequencies, even when i wasnt too too close to the tower.. it was the car radio
