The signal on 94.5 is not a spur. It is actually a repeater of KBVB Bob 95 FM (95.1 MHz main frequency) near Detroit Lakes. The reason why it is not very clear is because it is mixed with a repeater KBVB-HD2 The City from Fargo. Edit: The 94.5 repeater was only added in October 2014, so the signal that was heard here was definitely a spur caused either by a transmitter malfunction or just a problem with a low-end receiver.
I like when you asked, "Is this proof enough that it wasn't us that the Fun Cessation Commission thought they heard?" My answer to that would be "I don't think they give a $h&%."
That station with spurs down on 94 MHz must be using one of those cheap Chinese transmitter exciter and PA units. I seen them online for like $3500 for a 50 Kw unit.
95.1 is using a Broadcast Electronics 30T transmitter, problem is they are multiplexing with another station and their combiner is not tuned properly, causing spurs during enviormental shifts.
Ahhh that will cause it for sure. I worked on a multi system in Vegas that phased every 12 hours and station "A" was creating the same effects but we cleared it up by tuning it properly. They may want to get that problem under control before the FCC really gets on them for it though
those spurs result when the tuner's front end overloads upon receiving a VERY STRONG station. in this case when 95.1 was received, with it being as strong as it was there, caused the spurs. Probably someone using a cheap overload prone stock radio in their car instead of a Pioneer Supertuner IIID or a Blaupunkt Digiceiver tuner for example that has an adaptive IF switching front end.
pioneer deh 9800BH on a 1000+240Wrms (two amps) system in a fucking 99 buick century and i think ya talking shit......because my local FM station does not bleed, at all......some of them are HAM nerds, so they know their shit. Unfortunately, they dont get to pick what they play...80s love songs all day long... however, the station 70 miles away bleeds.....
I think if you went out into the car you wouldn't hear that station sprogging out on 94.5, it is just because you have a sensitive tuner which picks up the images of that strong station and no doubt you have it connected to a good RX antenna. And besides you were on 94.5 before so I'm not sure what makes you think they didn't pick that up when you were on the air?? Any way best of luck getting back on and thanks for some good viewing...
It's amazing how close to Rock Country music is getting! Anyhow the FCC might overlook the use of 87.9 if it doesn't bother anybody on 88.1 or CBC Winnipeg on channel 6 (quite a ways north though).
now look how trash country has gotten..... i live in NE montana and pick up either Calgary or Saskatoon .......interesting to hear what ya have to say about us lol. i think our president might learn something if he was a HAM nerd..

What Equipment did you use?

7 channel spacing etc 99.1 to 99.9
You need a T notch filter
