Thought I would tune around in nine increments to see if I could hear
something. I have nothing on 710 or 730 right now so it has to be transantlantic - would that be coorect? The only thing I can find is this http://www2b.abc.net.au/reception/fr...nsmissionid=58 I'm going to keep it here for a while to see if it fades away or gets better. They were playing music about ten minutes ago and now there is talking and I as I type - back to the music but just not quite audible enough to make it out.:-I |

Jim 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'. |

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. |

I'm going to keep it here for a while to see if it fades away or gets better. They were playing music about ten minutes ago and now there is 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... dxAce Michigan USA That's it. 10 pm EDT is best for reception. I will listen some myself. Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives is all repeats anyway. Jim, Listening on the KWZ-30- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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. I needed the loop to null out a French (Canadian I assume) station also on the frequency. Jim |

Under ideal conditions (winter, low sunspots, no aurora borealis, no co-channel or adjacent QRM, low QRN, decent antenna and RX, etc.), which admittedly rarely exist, a 120 watt MW station could be received across the continent. Years ago, when the MW band wasn't saturated with signals, some DXers bagged fantastic low-power DX. If memory serves, a DXer in Australia heard 250 watt stations from the USA and South America. I wonder what the BEST MW DX catches (pure distance, power vs distance, etc.) in history were? |

I was thinking about some of the bigger stations that have to use multiple antennas to control their pattern. I doubt that the station has enough money or need for any fancy antenna as I described. A single vertical probably does the job. Jim |
