While vacationing in the Cayman Islands several years ago, about the
only US station I could receive down there was 880 WCBS in the evenings. While in Bermuda a few years back, all of the listed NYC stations came through quite well at night. If I remember correctly, some NYC stations were coming through in the evenings down at Disney World in Florida.

Anyone outside the area please respond with comment and location. Hi Michael: In all cases below, the comment "check" means that I can hear the station listenably clear (there may be distortion/interference), and I either got voice ID or I have it logged as the only station I have received on that frequency on an average night. I am in the SW corner of Michigan, Icom R-75, 110' longwire. 660 WFAN Mets game Stronger signal than the Portland stations Check 710 WOR Call in show Moderate strength Check 770 WBC Talk show (Laura Ingram?) Fair signal, fading Check 880 WCBS Yankee game Poorsignal, fading Check (easy one) 1010 WINS Another talk show. Poor signal. Maybe local interference Talk show, very weak signal, yes. 1050 WEVD Nada Weak, conflicted, but playing the old Bruce Chanel song "Hey Baby". Have logged WEVD here before. 1130 WBBR Nada Fair, listenable but "fadey" signal. Seemingly a news station like WBBM in Chicago. Commercial for a business "located in the Empire State Building." Strongly implies New York! I have logged WBBR here several times. 1560 WQEW Someone's doing some preaching, but it may be a Maine station. Moderate signal strength. Gettting three signals at once here. Tony |

I believe the call letters for 1050, now that Disney actually bought
1050 from the Forward Association, are WEPN. (for ESPN) WEVD stood for Eugene V. Debs which was probably not the corporate image Disney wanted. (Debs was a railroad union leader, and founder of the Socialist Party. He was thrown in jail by Wilson for speaking out against WWI; Harding pardoned him.) Michael, I can remember tuning in WINS 1010 on numerous occasions in Virginia Beach Va. Since installing special lightning arrestors that specifically block Bcst band, my days of dx'g those stations are over. I noticed they mentioned a reception of WINS in Germany on RVI Radio World Sunday. Of course, under the 1941 radio treaty, WINS and WEPN have to protect CFRB and CHUM, respectively - 1010 and 1050 are Canadian clear channels. If you go 75-100 miles north or northwest of NYC at night, the Canadians dominate. I suppose WINS does it with directionality. |
"Charlie B." wrote in message om... 1130 WBBR Nn ID Businesstalk w/yl and om with Ausralian accents anyone have any idea of the station? That is WBBR, or Bloomberg Business Radio as they prefer to be called. It's parent is a "business news" company founded by the present mayor of NYC, Mike Bloomberg. In the evening/early morning, they appear to have a distinct preference for correspondents with British accents. BTW, I'm about 60 mi. S of you. |

Here near Chicago, they're not strong but they're VERY consistently receivable year-round. Here in SW Michigan - exactly 90 miles East of Chicago - WBZ'z reception varies by night from excellent to "distant", but I can always raise them. When living in Detroit as a boy, WBZ was "local station" clear *any* night after dark. Tony |

I noticed they mentioned a reception of WINS in Germany on RVI Radio World Sunday. Very well possible: 1010 (or better 1008) has been a clear channel for about a year in Europe, after the shut down of the Flevo TX in Holland in May 2003. After we sold the frequency it is on the air again since mid June 2004 (with Radio10Gold) with 400 kW power. Covers all Europe during the night. ruud |

Anyone outside the area please respond with comment and location. 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. -- Respectfully, Michael 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. Frank Dresser |

Great responses. Thanx a bunch !!!! Seems as if the big 50 kilowatt stations from the east coast can be heard well enough until you go further west of the great lakes. The same goes but in reverse with reception of mw here. I can get many of the 50 kilowatt mw transmitters that are either non directional or beamed in my direction at night so long as it is not further west of Minnesota. Michael |

I'd love to score a dub of the interview Glick did with the guy telling the
story about the crazy Orangutang, probably his all-time fave request, and listeners never got sick of it, it was that funny. I used to have an aircheck on cassette tape, lost it. Wish it was online.

If you are ever in Boca Raton, Fla., Larry is a "greeter" at Legal Seafoods Restaurant and going strong. I used to listen to Larry all the time, when he still had one of the few late-night nutshows that didn't cover the world (a la Art Bell). It's great to hear he's still alive and kicking. Does he still do his hypnosis schtick? AFAIK, no. And no more "Glick University" t-shirts :( He started on WBZ in June, '69 BTW. Glick was after my time - he sounds like a riot, though (1969 and beyond I was in school, and too busy with other things to DX any more for awhile). My memories of WBZ center around "Juicy" Brucie Bradley in the mid-sixties, a really good DJ. In Detroit, though we were all devoted to the local stations, WBZ listeners were something of a clique. Someone in a large group would ask who had their "Shrewsbury card", and several kids would say "I do!". The others wanted desperately to know how to get in on that. Kids never change, year in and year out. Sounds like you were in Detroit during the days of Bob Seger, the Woolies, the MC5, and, needless to say, prime time for Motown. Juicy Brucie was on 8-11:30 for about 4 years ('64-'68) followed by Dick Summer overnight, who succeeded him in the 8. p.m. slot. They went "talk" pretty shortly thereafter, which brought in Glick. Exactly right. WBZ was an important source, because whatever was going to be #1 in Detroit April 30th, was #1 in Boston about April 7th. I heard many new Beatles releases on WBZ 1-2 weeks before they were ever heard in Detroit. Tony |

Tim "Funny", hell - most of those old table radios (tube circuitry?) were wonderful "after dark" DX machines. To condense a story I've told here before, one late afternoon in winter during "grayline" time, I logged a 5,000 watt station from Denver at my home in Detroit. The "DX machine"? A circa 1960 Admiral 5 tube "American Classic", on the built in antenna. Tony |

I'm building weekday morning at 5:34am, 5-second clips of WFAN 660,
as heard in Central Ohio http://rhhardin.home.mindspring.com/5am.ram one day per clip, June 16 to the present, more or less, depending on when I upload another batch, usually on some weekend. I don't know how long I'll extend it for; it's pretty solid copy these days, though it may revert for a while after the time change again.
