I just heard on WLS (890 Chicago) that Jake Hartford will be hosting the Roe
Conn Show on Monday, 5 July, from 2 PM to 6 PM CDT.

That should be interesting!

Ugh, I can't get it - I don't think. :-( I get 880 but not 890.

Maybe if I fire up the Hammarlund, but I couldn't find 880 on my
inside radios with no external antennas.

Wow! He is bragging about thiis great DX catch! Successfully
receiving a 50kw clear channel station about 100 miles away across
Lake Michigan. Very impressive. No wonder he has to resort to self-

Truth is, with the noise around here, you often get WLS better

I know. It didn't make sense yesterday, I can get 890 - but for some
reason yesterday something was going on. I don't know. But I can hear
it right now just like WLW, go figure. {?}

Comes in like a 'local' here during the day. Sometimes, at night, and more often in
winter, I do get some selective fading at times.

I listen to WLS for a good many hours during the day.

I listened to WLS around 1960, then after I moved to California they
became not only a non-clear channel broadcaster but changed their venue
from new rock and roll to an adults themed boredom station. PFFFTTT.

I used to get their top of the chart "Silver Dollar Surveys" from about
1958 to 1962, which of course got lost in the move to Crapofornia.

I was a youngster in the 60's,when we visited my cousins in Dowagiac Mi.
they always had WLS playing.
I'm in the panhandle of Fl. now, I can get it a night, but a good signal
only in the winter.
Mike
I have only got WBZ for about 30 second during the last 15 years.
That was my favorite middle of the night station, any body remember the
name of the host that was on at about 2 am back then?


Was it Larry Glick, or was it someone else at that time.

I will say that WBZ comes in not too well anymore for some reason, not
like it
did back in the 80's.

Yes, It was Larry.
I remember him making calls to pay phones, he turned those into a lot of
fun.

AMDX,

KTWO came on 1030 kHz in 1967 and WBZ's Clear
Channel Signal on 1030 kHz was no longer 'protected'
nationwide; especially to the west and southwest.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KTWO_%28AM%29

Some also claim that WBZ has changed it's Antenna
http://www.wbz1030.com/
Signal Pattern to better cover it's local along the East
Coast Market Area North-to-South and less East
(out-to-sea); while also reducing it's Western Signal
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=25444
* Antenna Mode : Directional - 1 Pattern
* Power : 50,000 Watts
* Number of Towers : 2
* Antenna Status -since- 1982

WBZ AM Broadcast Towers (Hull, MA)
http://wikimapia.org/4893137/WBZ-AM-Broadcast-Towers

WBZ-AM 1030 kHz -Station History-
http://www.bostonradio.org/stations/25444

WBZ is no longer 'alone' on the Frequency : There
are now or soon to be around 35 AM Radio Stations
on 1030 kHz; and most to the West or South of WBZ.
WBZ only has the right to a 750 Mile Signal before
it becomes and Interference issue with the other AM
Stations on the Frequency.

FWIW - Back in the early 1960s I managed to receive
"WBZ" in Boston using a Hitachi TH-812 (TRF AM/MW
Portable Radio) with an outboard 'inductively coupled'
Tunable Ferrite Rod Antenna Feed by a 65 Foot
Random Wire Antenna.


Hah. Back in Christmas of 1962 my Sister gave me a KOBE/KYO AM radio. It
was so directive I could either line it pu for the weak signal or block
the interfering one. Late at night I got some Mississippi stations and
one from Texas. At 14 I was happy to get that.

NOTE : This took me Two Winter Seasons to Log this DX Catch.

Lucky. I never made it far enough out to try to build a set to try to
discriminate. Summers were building yet another set, vacation at the
Dells, or some lake I could go fishing in. Let me tell you, Leech lake
earns it's name after I got out to chest height.

You can receive 700 WLW can't you? Do you ever get to catch the
personalities on that station? They lost Mike McConnell (Midday Show)
to Chicago - they were trying to lure Bill Cunningham there also - but
he decided to stay in the Nati'. Thank God.

Bill Cunningham is on WLS on Sunday nights from I believe 10 PM -1 AM.

Mike McConnell is on WOOD 1300 on Saturdays in the afternoon, Noon to 3 sounds about
