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.

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.

Both of the Ks in Pittsburgh are still on the air:

KDKA 1020
KQV 1410

KDKA used to be in C-Quam, but they dropped that years ago.

WHO in Des Moines - a prize catch to a kid in Detroit with a 5 tube
Admiral table radio forty years ago - is still right where it always
was, too.

I heard WHO a year ago from my QTH in Northeast Pennslyvania with a GE
Superadio. Got A QSL fo the catch too.

CKLW a BIG powerhouse, always booming in to my area, as well as 900
CHML.

When I was a kid I remember listening to WOWO, I think it was in Indiana
WWV Wheeling West VA.
WPTR Albany, NY
WKBW Buffalo, NY
KAAY Little Rock, Ark
KDKA, Pittsburg PA
WFIL, Philadelphia PA.
WLS, Chicago, Ill. just to name a few.
Another station I heard was in Salt Lake City, UT, but I can't remember the
station call but if memory serves me correctly, I listened to Larry King on
that station, but not sure.
But my favorite station at that time was WBZ Boston, I loved listening to
the Larry Glick show. Easy catch since I lived 136 miles north.

Ah, WBZ!! I listened to it at night regularly in the mid-1960's.
The DJ was named "Juicy" Brucie Bradley, and they had an ongoing
campaign to rename "sandwiches" to "Shrewsburys". They always premiered
new chart-climbers about 2-3 weeks before any of the stations in my area
(Detroit). It was an easy catch at night even on my
cigarette-pack-sized transistor radio.

You also mentioned WOWO in Fort Wayne. That was one I could get
daytime on the five-tube, if conditons were right. The excitement of
getting a station from *that far away!!* (yeah - it was all of 150 miles
:) is what hooked me on DX, which logically led to shortwave the
following year.

Probably KS(alt)L(ake) on 1160.

Larry Glick makes a guest appearance once or twice a year on WBZ on the
Steve Levielle Broadcast 12-5a. Steve posts his upcoming guests on his
site radiosteve.com. Usually, barring funky ionospheric conditions, here
in Detroit WBZ's night blowtorch is stronger than most of the locals.
Somewhere in the basement I have a short aircheck of Dick Summer on BZ
from Christmastime of some unknown long ago year.
With CKLW off the past few overnights, WGY 810 Schenectady is Q-5.
I used to listen to WOWO as a kid in the early 60s, because it played
music on Sunday nights, while the local stations did public service
talkers or religious programs.
