I'm going to keep it here for a while to see if it fades away or gets

talking and I as I type - back to the music but just not quite audible
enough to make it out.:-I

Last night I did some mw listening.
WOR was on 710. CFZM Toronto is on 740.
730 had a country music station I could not ID.
Also on 730 a French station and from time to time a Spanish station
would fade in. Will listen to this frequency a bit more tonight.

Using a 3 ft box loop (home brew) facing N-S in SE Michigan. Any ideas
on the 730 country music station?


At 0030 I'm starting to pick up traces of country music on 730. About a half hour
earlier I had 740 Toronto in. I'm using the 200' W-E wire on 730, but at that frequency
I'm not about to trust it's directionality.

I'd have to wait a bit before I could use the SR II, and not certain I'll stay up that
late. SS is around 9 PM EDT here.


Bummer! That sucker on 730 popped right up and mentioned a George Straight song, was hoping
for an ID but nada, then into some oil ad by YL...

Unless I break out my big ass loop and go out on the deck - I'm not
going to hear anything on 710 because of WLW. But I have been able to
null them enough to send a report on the 710 freq. and received a QSL
but that has been a while ago. All I have in my notes is that I
received a QSL but I'd have too dig mine out and look through them.


730 takes me some work also - I've logged WPIT out of Pittsburgh
during the day before and received a QSL. But like right now at 2405
UTC there is nothing there - I heard a tad of talking but not enough
for it to be an honest verficiation IMO. Some days are better than
others - but that is usually the way it is for me on 730 here in the
Nati'.

Ha! You're a "Triple D" viewer also. I'm going to watch the repeat of
the shows - at either midnight or 1am. I keep waiting to see when they
show his stops here in Cincinnati. Maybe a couple of months ago he
visited this area and according to our local news he visited six or
seven places. After the first stop, because of the huge crowd, they
kept the rest of his itinerary {sp} quiet. Can't wait to see the shows
from this area.

Back to radio, right now on 730 it is clearing up - this is on my
outside antenna - don't feel like breaking out the loop tonight....at
least not yet.

WPIT out of Pittsburgh trying to squeeze in there. Then for about
fifteen seconds - clear as day and then back in the mud and then the
Wisconsin station overtaking it.

I had a suspicion that's what it might be as at the time I listened on the SR II what I could
pull in seemed to loop in that direction. Nice catch.
