Wouldent you know it. That's the only 50KW station that I left out. I had
made a note to check that one out, but I wound up leaving it out. I'll give
a listen to WRVA tonight and post the results here.

Thanx for pointing that one out.

Hi!

You should be able to hear WRVA Richmond, VA. I was talking with a
buddy of mine on the phone last night and he tuned in WRVA from PA and
it nearly pegged the meter.

Hiya... After a previous post I made trying to figure out whas I was
hearing on 1110 AM, I got a responce telling me that that it was WBT in
Charlotte, SC. It was alos pointed out in the responces, that WBT also
broadcasts ART BELL live from 1am to5am EST.

I took a look on the "Coast to Coast" web page to check out all the other
stations that broadcast it. I made a list of EVERY 50KW AM station in

the
U.S. east of the Mississippi that they listed and I tried them all.

Here
are
the results from here in NJ.

DONE at 2:30 UTC

WTIC 1080 in Hartford, CT : Audible and clear above the noise, but

fades
out at times. S5 on the meter with no preamp. Must use LSB and not AM.

NB
function is needed.

WGY 810 in Albany, NY : Audible and clear above the noise but fades out
completely at times. Best on LSB, but can be listened to in AM unless

fading
out.. S6 on the meter with no preamp. NB function needed.

WPHT 1210 in Philadelphia, PA: Audible, but fading in and out

regularly.
Spooks from local stations are audible here. S3 to S4 on the meter with

no
preamp. Must use LSB.

WBT 1110 in Charlotte, NC: Audible and strong. Minimal fading. S7 to

S8
on the meter with no preamp. Can use AM quite well at times. SSB and

ECSS
not needed most of the time.

WTAM 1100 in Cleveland, OH: Perfectly audible, strong and clear. No
Fading. AM works fine, ECSS not needed. S-9 on the meter with no

preamp.
They are playing the football game; Steelers vs Browns.

WRKO 680 Boston, MA: in USB with the NB on I can hear something

resembling
talk, but I don't know for sure what I'm hearing. In short, it cant hear

it.

KSTP 1500 in St. Paul, MN: It's lost completely. All I can hear is a
station that ID'ed as, I think WCOP. They are talking about DC area news
and mentioned the "BELTWAY" a few times. Must be in VA or MD.

Definitely
no chance for me to be able to get KSTP.

WHAS 840 Louisville, KY: News Radio. Talking about "Arnold's" political
woes. At times, can be heard well, but only in LSB or USB with NB

function.
It also fades out from time to time. I also hear another station under

it.
The station is playing what sounds to be Italian opera music but I have

not
been able to figure out what station it is.

WLAC 1510 in Nashville TN: Can't hear it. It's completely stepped on by
1510 "THE ZONE" in Boston. Currently giving NFL scores.

WFLF 540 in Orlando FL: I'm not sure if I'm hearing it or not. I'm

hearing
a news sports brief on one station that sounds very weak. Down this low,

it
may even be a spook from a strong local station. Under that signal, I

can
hear a country music song being played by another station. I havent

heard
any station ID's. It's messy on this part of the dial.

And that's it. All the 50KW stations in the US east of the Mississippi

that
broadcast Art Bell as heard from North East NJ.
