Just an FYI for all you MW DX people out there.

WWVA, out of Wheeling WV. towers went down in

Wednesdays storm. they are right now on another

freq. so, 1.170 was wide open last night, for anyone

in their area. I caught 4 new-to-me id s last night

on this freq. I'm east of Pittsburgh, and they weren't

that strong here, but, it's wide open right now for

DXERs in their area.

enjoy.

Bummer. You're in the skip zone, they normally have a good signal on the
East Coast.

from their home page. i see they still call themselves "the big one".
wonder what the guys on 700, out of Cinci, think about that?

Monitoring 1170 with the Perseus. Looks like there is an IBOC sideband
from 1165 to 1170. Checked - it is WHAM-HD on 1180 covering 1165-1195
in Rochester, NY. So if you hear digital hash on 1170 thats where its
coming from.

Sure can here the hash here! What I hear in sporadic checks is a station playing oldies.

The oldies station is WFDL, Waupun, WI. Operating with 1000 watts daytime and a PSRA of 9 watts. I think I may
have heard them with the 9 watts.

Have to do further checking and maybe send 'em a report. Not that terribly far away, but still interesting at
that power.
