Don't Forget The Memorial Day Special
 
770 on your dial WABC between 6am-6pm from Ny/Ny/
They are playing twelve complete hours of original programming from the
60'-70's, apparently (I didn't know this) when WABC was the country and world
(so they say) #1 Top 40 station, complete with the original commercials.

I'm looking forward to it, especially the commercials. I can't pick it up -
like right now- on my modded dx398 on a longwire- nadda.

But I DO think I'll get it on the GE P-780 and turntable and a 30x30 loop,
that's a 50,000 watter, shouldn't I be able to get that? That was the station
(I think) I heard on the morning when I made *THE* first post in here for 9-11,
so I'm hoping to get it for the 12 hours tomorrow.

What do the BCB dxers think? No problemo? Or any helpful hint to help.

Well it kind of depends on where you are listening from, and unless I missed
it, I don't see it in your post. Sure looks like you have enough equipment
to give it a good run for the money though! I grew up listening to WABC from
Plymouth, Mass nights on my tiny transistor radio. (It was a Constant
6t-220...boy do I wish I still had that...they routinely go for 4100 on
eBay, but at the time I thought it was a piece of junk compared with my
friend's Zenith 500). Now living in Hartford, CT I can hear it 24/7 on any
decent radio (it's only about 110 miles away) although at night there is a
co-channel station playing oldies which I can often hear under their talk
programming. (I've never tried to isolate it to find out what/where it is).

Where are you listening from?

I can't get it all during the daytime in Md. but anyone who is on the
same boat and just wants to listen can do it by computer:

It's great, especially the promos.
