But now it's back. I could have written this post! The solar activity made AM 740 vanish, all right, but it is coming back these last few nights. Where do you listen from, John? It comes and goes for me in suburban Chicago. Same neighborhood (DX speaking) - I'm in SW Michigan.

Naw...don't sell that radio. If there is any one thing guaranteed
about shortwave and mw dxing, it is that propogation will always change. When my favorite AM 740 disappeared some other station popped in...barely audible, but it was there. |

Hi Tony. I'm listening from Northen Virginia, how about you. Yes
there were times when 740 was coming in during the morning rush hour!!! That's what I love about dxning...it is never constant!!! |

Sorry I didn't mention it in my first post, and you evidently missed my follow-up one: I'm in the SW corner of Michigan. The faint station you were hearing on that frequency was likely KRMG from Tulsa, OK. On a good winter night, it clashes annoyingly with CHWO where I am, though CHWO usually wins. It's no problem past KRMG's night operation time, as they then drop to 25,000W.

It's no problem past KRMG's night operation time, as they then drop to 25,000W. It is not the power drop, it is the fact that KRMG is extremely directional at night in that direction. 25 kw is huge power, and a change from 50 kw to 25 kw would hardly be noticed, as it only effects the station's field strength by 25%. (Shrug) I can only tell you what I hear at my location during the winter months. When darkness comes to the Central time zone, overlap from KRMG falls off sharply here.

And that is because KRMG goes directional at night, sending nearly all the signal away from you. It is not because they reduce power. |

Ah, so - I knew they had a DA2 antenna, but in your last post I thought you were saying that the nightime direction *was* in my direction. Thanks for the clarification.
