A Radio Disney Mystery
Where do they get all that awesome music???
........ Ha ha! Okay--J/K. ------- Radio Disney has a station listed at 1260 kHz in St Louis. I can consistently pick up that same transmission at 351 kHz as well, day or night, on my Sony ICF-7600GR. The LW sounds like it might be a /bit/ weaker than the AM signal. At first I wondered why Disney would be broadcasting on LW, but when I went online to look for actual ID,,,, I cannot find any reference to Disney on that frequency. I have found a few listings of Disney-affiliate stations all over the AM and FM dial, but none SW or LW. The only station listed for St Louis is the 1260 station. So what's up with this 351 kHz business? I haven't found any other station that was "repeated" in two different frequencies like this. ~ |

You might hear the other one at 2170 kHz... It sucks, but it happens -- even on my R8; maybe someone will chime in with the technical reason. I've completely forgotten :-( -j |
