What about WKBW-1520-Buffalo and WSAI-1530-Cincinatti? I meant Spanish pop oldies... Univision does have three stations that I can name off the top of my head that do an oldies-format in Spanish: Los Angeles, Las Vegas and recently Chicago's AM 56 WIND changed to oldies from talk. I'd dig it if WADO dropped the lame talk shows and infomercials and went music. Maybe they'd get a little uptick in the ratings... -- Sven Weil New York City, U.S.A. |

How old is oldies? Noro Morales and Tito Puente? Mostly back catalog stuff from big late 70s/early 80s A/C pop artists like Julio Iglesias, Camilo Sesto, Braulio. Also stuff from Celia Cruz, Roberto Ledesma, Trio Los Condes, Los Panchos, Los Angeles Negros, etc. No Xavier Cugat, Augustin Magaldi or other really classic stuff like that - demos are probably too old for those. I haven't had a chance to hear much of it since by the time I'm out of work the show is over (at 7 p.m.). No AM reception in my office building unless you are standing next to a window or an interior steel structural support. -- Sven Weil New York City, U.S.A. |

Noro Morales and Tito Puente? Wado is playing more of the Los Andinos / Chucho Avellanet type oldies. 60's, mostly. |

60's, mostly. And you'll probably be happy to know that WADO has finally killed their Kahn POWER-Side... perhaps because its inherent distortion and telephone-like audio doesn't sound too good with music. Meanwhile, 1600 WWRL is still transmitting POWER-Side, although I don't think they are putting out a 15 Hz Kahn AM Stereo pilot tone, like WADO was. And if WADO wants to play more music than news/talk, that's fine by me. The skywaves are strong enough this season that almost every night, I can get "Radio Reloj" from Cuba quite clearly on 570 kHz, coming in right on top of local WMCA. |

And why would "filtered" news form Cuba, listenable only at night under occasional atmospheric conditions, be better than regulr hourly casts on a local NY station? |

Because it's a good indication of when skywave propagation from the Caribbean is strong. When Radio Reloj kocks out your local station, you know it's time to tune in the Cuban station on 530 for live salsa broadcasts, or tune to 4VEH for musique Zouk. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

There is very little live music on Cuban stations any more. or tune to 4VEH for musique Zouk. 4VEH is a very hard catch, and is mostly religious. It has not been an easy DX for 2 decades since it moved off of 1035 and reduced power. |

I wonder if they probably tore that thing out when they rebuilt the transmitter facility a few years back. You keep adding so much crap in the air chain it does have an effect on the sound you put out. Please keep the amount of boxes to a necessary minimum. No C-Quam boxes, no Powerside, no IBOC; just a properly adjusted compressor/limiter and a transmitter should be all that should be there. -- Sven Weil New York City, U.S.A. |
