About my best ever AM DX Catch from Alaska was a Western Australia station.. non directional 500 watt signal on 1215 no less, not one of the big guns!
This is ABC Midwest & Wheatbelt's 6NM Northam, WA on 1215khz with 500 watts non directional. The clip was recorded at 1837UTC November 25th, which would be 237AM November 26th in Northam, Western Australia. ABC Midwest & Wheatbealt never answered 2 emails and a snail mail letter, but I was able confirm through other methods that it was in fact 6NM 1215 Northam, WA : Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIBPaqhXQso On Sun, Sep 24, 2017 at 12:56 PM, Chuck Hutton <charle...@msn.com> wrote: > A morning to remember for you.
