According to schedule, the antenna from Bonaire is aimed almost due
south (182 or 170 degrees). Which actually is good news because there is always some sort of backwhip in the opposite direction. |

When I lived in Massachusetts 30 years ago - heck, here in California - the Bonaire transmissions do/were ALWAYS pound(ing) in no matter what time of day or night. It makes no difference where the antenna was headed. Bruce |

There was something else nearby on that freq, I cannot remember what. |

There was something else nearby on that freq, I cannot remember what. It was the BIG 8 CKLW in Windsor, Ontario. I think they ran more than 50 KW not being regulated by the US. All you could hear in Detroit on 800kHz. In fact, all you had to do was turn up the gain on any amp or PA system and you would hear them. Jim |

It was potent in New England. Are they still OTA? They are on the air at 800kHz, but as a newstalk station. Power is reduced to 50 KW. Still have the CKLW call. They do broadcast from the old CKLW studios with the call CKWW on 580 kHz with an oldies format. They modified the old CKLW jingles to match the call. They even have a few (or at least one) of the old disc jockeys. Charlie O'Brien is still on the air in the morning. Unfortunately, they only run 500 watts but I listen to it in my car as long as I am in range. Jim |
