From Chris Lobdell`s Free Radio Scene in Sept CIDX Messenger: ``Mystery of the Old Time Radio Station on 6770 solved? Many of us have heard the weak signals on 6770 AM playing old time radio shows. Signals are always quite weak and usually fade out rather quickly. They usually are heard best at sunrise and sunset. Who is this station and where is he located? This was posted back in January of 2016 and I never saw it. Just in case you didn?t either, here it is. "Old Time Radio is an "accidental broadcaster" of sorts. It is located inside of an old radio museum. The antenna is a several hundred foot length of Cat 5 network cable run along the back of each radio display so each radio doesn?t need an antenna to receive the program. The transmitter (home brew, unknown RF output) is attached to a small audio processor and gets its audio stream from a computer. Winamp is used to run the very large playlist over and over. Another program is broadcast on 770 kHz using a Ramsey Electronics transmitter. The similarity in frequencies (6770 and 770 kHz) is not coincidental. These frequencies were chosen to make them easier to remember believe it or not. The owner/curator of the museum lives nearby and listens to the stream from his house. He is not fully aware of how far this broadcast can be heard and I will not divulge the location of this museum to avoid him getting into trouble. I have spoken to him about the legalities but he wasn?t interested as he has "done this for a long time without anyone breaking down his door". I?m surprised these transmissions are being heard as widespread as they are." Posted by "Old Time Radio Fan" on the "30 Below" blog on The HF Underground.
