DX update from northern Delaware: A very local TIS X-bander that I was not aware of plus a few other new ones (three on 1260 khz.) ranging in distance from 90 to 580 miles.
11-Aug-07 // 2243 local // 1640 khz. // WQFL338 // 10 watts? // Wilmington, DE // Local TIS station that I have never heard before (apparently this station became active on 9-Aug-06): "This is WQFL338 Wilmington owned by the city of Wilmington and broadcasting messages 24 hours a day for the city at 1640 khz. AM." The below indicated website appears to list (see bottom of webpage) 3 tx sites for this TIS all at (I believe) 10 watts power: http://www.radioreference.com/modules.php?name=RR&action=fcc&cs=WQFL338 // New. Let’s call it an amazing (!!) 7 or so mile catch. MP3 clip available here: http://www.21centimeter.com/21centimeter/Recordings/1640-khz_2243-Local_8-11-07_WQFL338_Wilmington_DE.mp3 12-Aug-07 // 0000 local // 1260 khz. // WPNW // 1 kw night // Zeeland, MI // Male with very fast call letter mention (they're difficult to hear but they're there) then "1260, The Pledge. The Talk Of West Michigan" Into CNN radio news quickly followed by an apparent and abrupt loss of signal. Station slogan matches that on station’s website and in the 27th edition of the NRC's AM Radio Log. // New. A 580 mile catch.

The -- should be '60' but the last part of the spoken frequency is unintelligible to my ears. Into Billy Joel's ‘Piano Man'. // New. A 150 mile catch.
