Pretty decent that time of night. What antenna do you use?


You used to be able to listen to them from around 2 in the morning
Central time until well after sunup. I think it was 100 KW to "the
Pacific". Killer signal.


9580 kHz, BTW


Dave,

9580 comes in like a local in the mornings. 9590 and 6020 are
also usually good. 9475 and 9560 usually fair. The morning
English broadcasts are pretty easy. R. Australia on any frequency
gets much more difficult between 1500 and 2300 UTC, but
lately 11660 and 13630 have been making it OK. Between 0100
and 0500, 15515 and 15240 are dependable. Later freqs
include 15160, 13690 and 12080 (Brandon). The broadcasts
in SE Asian langs are more difficult due to targeting. The
30 minute Indonesian broadcast on 15415 is particularly
difficult here in KY.
