I went back to 880 a few minutes ago (about 0438 or so) and WCBS 880 was in a fade
and I heard CKLQ in Manitoba. Hadn't heard them in a while. Last time I really
recall (I'm not a MW'er by the way) was driving up to Mt. Pleasant, MI one night a
few years ago during some beautiful aurora and CKLQ was blasting in like a local.

I can hear WFAN, WOR, WABC, WCBS, WINS, WBBR, day and night. The daytime
reception via ground wave has no fading while the night time signals
have the typical fading caused by skywave propagation interfering with
the ground wave signal. I'm using a Drake-R8 with a 60-ft longwire. My
QTH is about 200-miles north of NYC.

660 WFAN

Lost in the splatter of one of the local sport babblers.


710 WOR

I can make out a carrier on most nights. Sometime it punches through. It's
adjacent to WGN, which is very strong here.


770 WBC

Reception similiar to WOR, but this one's right next to WBBM.


880 WCBS

Easy catch most nights, despite being next to WLS.


1010 WINS

I get a carrier sometime, but it's next to one of the other sport babblers.
I assume the carrier is from CFRB. CFRB came in quite well when the old
WCFL shut down every week early on Monday morning. I've nulled out AM 1000
with a loop antenna and also received CFRB.


1050 WEVD

Whatever's between WHO and KYW is unlistenable. I suppose it's them and
CHUM fighting it out.


1130 WBBR

Don't know.


1560 WQEW

Don't know.

I live in the Chicago area. For whatever reason, many of the New York
allocations are right next to the Chicago allocations. It's not always easy
to hear NY stations here, even though the night time distance isn't much by
AM broadcast band standards.

I heard the three listed above this morning at
around 4:30 CST. I never have much of a problem
with them -- I can hear 770 until our local U of M
station signs on.

I didn't realise you had a U of M station there! ;-)

770 - KUOM.

Here's their webpage:

"Radio K," as it's known. I don't listen much - not my cup of
tea. I listen more to KSTP and WWTC.

We have WUOM (University of Michigan) here out of Ann Arbor, which is an FM
outlet, with a few relays. (I catch the BBC overnight on their relay which is
WVGR in Grand Rapids).

They carry NPR, which I can listen to at times... sometimes not!

I noticed yesterday that the Patriot II (KYCR-1570) is
carrying O'Reilly. O'Reilly's been treating Dan Rather with
kid gloves. Guess why? 60 Minutes is doing an interview
piece on O'Reilly Sunday night.

So, you see? All of the pieces fit together -- thanks to radio!
