I don't usually monitor Am broadcast band, but have wondered of late whether
some of the stations I used to hear as kid were still out there to pluck out
of the air :

KDKA Pittsburg, Who Des Moines are two that come to mind.

place... so don't ask! I'm checking!

To all on the BCRC e-mail list...........

Very late word on this.....but.....for those of you with an interest in
monitoring the medium wave broadcast band, CKLW's 50,000 watt signal,
will
be off air this coming Sunday morning for technical maintenance. This
has
been the case the previous two mornings with one last round of
maintenance
yet to come in just a few hours.

Art VE3AKJ who has been monitoring the 800 KHz frequency without the
"Big
8" signal the past couple of mornings reports some interesting stations
out
there not only on the main frequency but on adjacent channels have been
heard from throughout the U.S. mid-west. A great opportunity to work
some
stations that locally fall into the "rare ones" category and to add to
that
QSL collection for the broadcast band.
