Re: [HCDX] HELP: AMC-8 1540 heard in CT

2013-12-01 Thread Arthur Delibert
Searching for Westwood One AMC8 Transponder 23 on the internet brought up an 
e-mail on another reflector with the following from September 15, 2013:

1540 AM Albany - Down














AM 1540 Albany (I can't 
keep track of their call letters any 
more) is currently running my favorite This is Westwood One Radio 
Networks AMC 8 Transponder 23. To authorize your receiver call Westwood 
One Denver Operations at 720-xxx- from 8AM-10PM Eastern Time. 
*BEEP*






Westwood One AMC 8 seems to be a satellite that feeds a number of commercial 
radio networks.  So looks like this station was -- either accidentally or maybe 
on purpose to tune up -- rebroadcasting the marker signal of its feed 
satellite.

 Hi folks, After a lengthy hiatus, I'm back with a head scratcher:
 
 For the first time, on Nov 22 ( 23) heard on 1540 kHz at 0754-UTC on an
 analog clock-radio a loop consisting of a tone/message: This is Westwood
 One Radio Network's A-M-C-8 Transponder 23; To authorize your receiver
 contact c.  I may have heard it also on the 24th, but not sure.
 Didn't hear it afterwards or since then.  The recording on the 22nd (of 45
 minutes) had two good strong peaks, and the final fade was pretty much the
 depth plunge, under KXEL  WABE mix.
 
 Help!!! Who, what, where and why?  Any links would surely help and greatly
 appreciated.

Konnie,

Welcome back. It would have helped a lot to get a bearing on it with your clock 
radio.

This happens far too often when some automated station fails to plug into the 
correct satellite feed.
