In the past, I had voiced some concerns regarding possible QRM from AM
broadcast radio stations operating in the region of our HBR IF frequencies.

Sure enough, as the above link points out, there are FCC set asides for
Highway Advisory Radio, starting from 1610 kcs on up to 1700.  One may want
to be aware of this.  My hope is that there isn't one around my neck of the
woods that would cause a Q-R-Nancy.  If it gets too much of a problem, I can
possibly see this phenomenon chasing us clear into the 160 meter band,
which opens up a new can of worms, HI HI! 73 de Cal, N6KYR/4.
