I don't usually monitor Am broadcast band, but have wondered of late whether
some of the stations I used to hear as kid were still out there to pluck out of the air : KDKA Pittsburg, Who Des Moines are two that come to mind. "N8KDV" wrote in message ... This just forwarded to me, I have no idea of what time this will take place... so don't ask! I'm checking! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: CKLW off air Sunday morning... Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2004 20:08:48 -0500 From: BL To: Bill Leal To all on the BCRC e-mail list........... Very late word on this.....but.....for those of you with an interest in monitoring the medium wave broadcast band, CKLW's 50,000 watt signal, will be off air this coming Sunday morning for technical maintenance. This has been the case the previous two mornings with one last round of maintenance yet to come in just a few hours. Art VE3AKJ who has been monitoring the 800 KHz frequency without the "Big 8" signal the past couple of mornings reports some interesting stations out there not only on the main frequency but on adjacent channels have been heard from throughout the U.S. mid-west. A great opportunity to work some stations that locally fall into the "rare ones" category and to add to that QSL collection for the broadcast band. 73, Bill VE3ES -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B |
