CHWO AM740 will QSL all correct reception reports. Most of the reports
come from Canada and the US but they have received reports from
overseas. The reports can be sent by email or post office.
The reports need the following :
1. Date of reception.
2. Time (local or UTC).
3. Program material. At least 10 minutes of specific program material
heard: e.g., name of announcer, commercials heard, news items, music
titles, etc.
3. Signal/sound report. A general view of how well you heard the
signal at your location and the sound quality of the program.
4. Helpful info: the type of radio and antenna you used.

You can report by internet at

Listeners west of the Rockies will usually find KCBS, San Francisco,
on this freq, especially at night. As I understand it they've been
there since the 30s, when they were KQW. Before that, it was none
other than radio pioneer Charles Herrold's experimental station,
broadcasting from San Jose. (The building he was using-the tallest one
in town 90 years ago-has long since disappeared, although one guy told
me that he remembered going to see it in the 60s. A small sign on
downtown San Jose's historic tour marks the site now-a sign so small
that you have to look for it to see it. However, several photos of
Herrold's setup can be seen on the walls at the Fry's in Sunnyvale.
Also, the local historical museum features the only known recording of
his voice, done a couple years before he died.) To get an idea of how
much of a pioneer he was, he started in 1909, long before ANY
regulations governed broadcasting AT ALL. The road from then to now
was a rocky one, with the US Supreme Court ruling at one point that
radio regulation was unconstitutional, which created havoc on the
airwaves. It wasn't until government was greatly expanded by FDR that
broadcast regulations were fully accepted.
