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 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.)

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.

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.

Hello Michael,
pI am in Sanford, ME, about 40 minutes up 95 from Portsmouth, NH. I'm
listening on a Bendix Navigator 420 with a Radio Shack loop antenna. Definitely
not a DX rig. Analog dial, so can't be positive about the frequencies.

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
