If you can use an app to hear it you can bet it will soon be encrypted.

>> It's funny you should mention that. They weren't running any commercials at all, at least not until just about dawn, when I heard the first one. They were playing nothing but oldies. I was wondering how they could make any money doing that. 
>> 
>> What caught my ear about them was that I could not recall how long it has been since I heard an AM radio station playing songs.
>> 
>> I landed on them by default. When I turned my radio from FM to AM, WKAJ was on the same position on the dial as WTOP.

>> You shouldn't have heard WKAJ here either.  They are supposed to be 400 watts at night with a directional patter that goes mostly North.  Here is the pattern from the FCC web site.

>> 
>> Either they neglected to reduce power and change patterns at sunset or maybe you picked them up after Midnight during the allowed experimental period from Midnight to 6 AM.  But you aren't supposed to run commercials in experimental mode, so if you heard any commercials then it was a problem.
>> 
>> KMOX in St. Louis is 50 Kw non directional on 1120 and everyone has to protect them.  That's why WUST goes off at night.
