I don't live in the NYC area, but I have been there enough times to know
what I can get on the radio there. Yes, WGY (810 KHz AM) is 50 KW, but you
will have trouble from adjacent channel interference from WNYC-AM (820 KHz).
A GE Superadio may help because you can rotate the radio and, maybe, null
out the signal from WNYC. The station on 1110 KHz is in Charlotte, NC. That
signal is subject from interference from Canadian stations on that same
frequency. Here again, a GE Superadio may help in the same manner. Drift
used to be a big problem with tube type radios. It is still present on solid
state radios, but minimal. What you may be experiencing is signal fade. This
is an unfortunate part of nighttime long distance reception.

I love the Coast To Coast show with Art Bell, but I get a lot of signal
drifting at night listening in Brooklyn. It's fine on the weekends where
it
comes in on WABC, but during the week the signal is very weak on 1110 AM.
Would
a longer range radio like the GE 7-2887 Superadio III help, which has
station
selectivity and sensitivity, or is a digital radio better where I can
preset
the channel. Would that help lock it in, and adjust for drift?

Looking on their website I see it also comes in on WGY on 810 from Albany,
but
I haven't been able to access that station. It's listed at 50KW which is
the
same
as WABC, so I assume it's a stronger channel. KW's is stronger that W's?

Can anyone in the NYC area help with this? What channel do you pick it up
on
during the week? Please also e-mail if kind enough to respond. Thanks!
