Thought I would tune around in nine increments to see if I could hear
something. I have nothing on 710 or 730 right now so it has to be
transantlantic - would that be coorect?


The only thing I can find is this

I'm going to keep it here for a while to see if it fades away or gets
better. They were playing music about ten minutes ago and now there is
talking and I as I type - back to the music but just not quite audible
enough to make it out.:-I


Last night I did some mw listening.
WOR was on 710. CFZM Toronto is on 740.
730 had a country music station I could not ID.
Also on 730 a French station and from time to time a Spanish station
would fade in. Will listen to this frequency a bit more tonight.


Using a 3 ft box loop (home brew) facing N-S in SE Michigan. Any ideas
on the 730 country music station?


At 0030 I'm starting to pick up traces of country music on 730. About a half hour
earlier I had 740 Toronto in. I'm using the 200' W-E wire on 730, but at that frequency
I'm not about to trust it's directionality.


I'd have to wait a bit before I could use the SR II, and not certain I'll stay up that
late. SS is around *9 PM EDT here.


Bummer! That sucker on 730 popped right up and mentioned a George Straight song, was hoping
for an ID but nada, then into some oil ad by YL...

That's it. 10 pm EDT is best for reception. I will listen some myself.
Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives is all repeats anyway.

Jim,
Listening on the KWZ-30- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -


Ha! You're a "Triple D" viewer also. I'm going to watch the repeat of
the shows - at either midnight or 1am. I keep waiting to see when they
show his stops here in Cincinnati. Maybe a couple of months ago he
visited this area and according to our local news he visited six or
seven places. After the first stop, because of the huge crowd, they
kept the rest of his itinerary {sp} quiet. Can't wait to see the shows
from this area.

Back to radio, right now on 730 it is clearing up - this is on my
outside antenna - don't feel like breaking out the loop tonight....at
least not yet.


I needed the loop to null out a French (Canadian I assume) station
also on the frequency.
