Re: [IRCA] 1540AM ZNS-1 Bahamas Anyone catch this one?

ZNS-1 would occasionally show up at sunset after my local CHIN (back when they 
were daytime-only) would sign off.   And CHIN is probably B-T-M's foreign 
language station that he heard in Boston.

The one and only logging I've ever managed on ZNS-1 was several years back when 
they had a DA malfunction and were running non-directional.  Even then it was 
weak here in southern Missouri, buried under all the other crap on 1540; their 
webstream came in handy that evening to verify what I thought I was hearing.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] BBC on AM 1160 in Bermuda

[Niel Wolfish]

 
Yes.  I don't recall hearing BBC on 1160 when I was in Nova Scotia at the 
beginning of June.  Depending on the recording, 1160 was a mix of Puerto Rico, 
Antigua, the two New Jersey stations and the Maine station.

Not reported by Niel Wolfish in his recent Nova Scotia DXpedition report even 
though the other Bermuda channels 1280 and 1450 were.  1280 Bermuda is usually 
in a 'scrum' with WADO-NY and Brazil here with occasional intrusions by Puerto 
Rico, MA, ME, and QC stations.  1450 I think I've had tentatively in jumble

Anybody have an idea what I might have heard on 720 on Thursday March 19 at 
1100 UTC (7 a.m. Eastern) with what sounded like a Spanish preacher going over 
the hourtop? No sign of WGN at the time.
Just down the dial on 700 KHSE in Wylie TX was blasting in over WLW at the same 
time.

I had the same experiences in trying to log KKAA as Kaz had in the late 
1970s.  I do recall how much of a pest 1570-CKLM was.    I finally hit paydirt 
on a February morning - the same morning as 1510-WPUT was running a DX Test.  
My notes say that WOWO was off that Monday morning also and I heard PEI for the 
first time (CHTN).   And I'm sure I had trouble staying awake in Grade 10 Math 
class later that morning.

 Hauser, to Jerry via DXLD)

 Glenn, Thanks for your interest. Yes, reports can be sent to this
 email address. The postal address is: Jerry Whitney, WH2XDE, 2083
 Stirnie Rd., Victor NY 14564.

 I will mail (USPS) out a QSL card to anyone who requests one (no SASE
 needed). The QSL shows a picture of the rather large 1 wavelength
 horizontal loop and ATU. No website, I can email site pictures etc. to
 anyone who is interested however.

 The digital voice modes currently are a work in progress. Very
 disappointing! Static crashes, selective fading and the transmitter
 requirements are frustrating. (10db of headroom is needed on the
 transmitter for peak power output; a 500 watt transmitter needs 5 kW
 peak to properly modulate!) The solution may be in the receiver. The
 primary digital mode will likely be DRM with the new low latency
 compression scheme. I will operate some of the ham modes (FreeDV)
 also.

 If there is enough response from listening stations I will probably
 setup a website with transmission schedules, pictures etc. I'll keep
 you updated. Try Wednesday 10/15 at  UT and beyond. It should be
 fully operational then.

 I forgot to ask you if you had any thoughts on the frequency of
 operation. The plan was to use 1750 kHz but the license allows 1720-
 1800. The band segment in this part of the US is quiet with only a few
 very weak 9 kHz spaced stations from Europe when propagation is
 exceptional. Thanks 73 (Jerry Whitney, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

 Jerry, I checked the 1711-1800 range a few times last night, and hear
 nothing but some weak carriers, maybe out of local devices. 1750
 itself seems quite clear. Are you referring to AM broadcasters from
 Europe? Must be pirates, but most of them are below 1700, as licensed
 broadcasting there still stops at 1602, and I would not expect them to
 stick to 9-kHz spacing.

 What kind of programming will there be? What is your ultimate
 objective after these tests? (Glenn to Jerry, via DXLD)

 Glenn, Thanks for your input. I'll stick to 1750 for now. I ran some 
 antenna tests this weekend and wasn't happy with the antenna bandwidth 
 so more work will be needed. This will delay the startup for perhaps a 
 week. I will email you when it`s ready.

 Not much thought on programming yet, still some technical details to 
 work on. I suppose I could transmit World of Radio on AM if I had 
 permission!

 As you likely know, there are some clever new digital data methods 
 developed in the last few years by some of the telecom companies or 
 their licensed partners. These digital data streams are very 
 impressive but require a robust connection. I'm working on several of 
 the licensed data systems and trying to adapt them to medium wave 
 broadcast. I'm most interested in what happens after the transmitter. 
 The digital magic is done by people much smarter than I. 73 (Jerry 
 Whitney, WH2XDE, Oct 13, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

 Glenn, Antenna looks good so I will start tests tonight (Wednesday at 
 2345 UT) carrier and MCW at 1000 watts. Frequency between 1730 and 
 1760. 73 (Jerry Whitney, Oct 15, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

I concur with Les' observations about what works best as content in a DX test. 
I wowuld add that I still think there should be music and other of the usual 
content - or unusual content. It's more interesting when tests vary in content, 
and also there's some element of challenge. I look forward to going through my 
recording to see if I've caught any of the music or any voice announcements, 
because catching this more difficult content would be neat in and of itself. I 
think it's awesome the test made it to Europe. This is a perfect example of a 
test done perfectly. Lots of lead notice time. It came off exactly as planned. 
And the content was meticulously and thoughtfully put together. Paul Walker and 
Bob Souza get an A++ IMO.

The only thing that sent a very slight jitter down my spine was that it seemed 
to start a couple of minutes late. That's when I went online to the webstream, 
and when I heard music my heart sank for a second. But within a moment or two 
the sweeps were happening. In retrospect, I really like this - I don't think a 
test should completely come off as expected or predicted by DXers. Each should 
have its own unique fingerprint, because it's more fun and challenging that way 
and because it makes it more QSLable and verifiable. So the late start by a 
couple minutes was IMP a strong positive. Yeah, I know any one of us can tune 
in on the web and hear it, if there's a live stream. But it's harder for the 
tiny few in our midst who report what they haven't legitimately heard to 
falsify an actual distant recording (though of course I can think of multiple 
ways it can be done by someone so determined).

I'm still reeling from how far this one got out...

 Subject: [NRC-AM] DX Test Material
 
 Last night's very successful KCKM test only reinforces the importance of 
 using the proper test material programming. In the early 2000's, we need 
 a double blind experiment to determine what material worked the best in 
 cutting through the noise of a cluttered channel at various signal levels.
 
 Hands down, the clear winner were the sweep tones used in last night's 
 KCKM test. These were followed by the Off-Hook telephone sound, slide 
 whistle, and finally Morse Code at around 900-1000 Hz. This was true at 
 all signal levels, but especially at the weakest levels.
 
 Some material that did not test well:
 
 1.) Christmas Music
 2.) Voice announcements with either male or female voice.
 3.) Marching Band Music
 4.) Classical Music
 5.) Sound effects like roosters, bells, etc.
 
 One musical source that scored higher than any other were TV show theme 
 songs. I think this is due to the fact that they stand out from other 
 clutter, and are recognizable patterns to our brains. Some stations just 
 are not willing to run only Sweeps  Codes for extended times, and TV 
 theme songs make a good alternative. But to the extent possible, a 
 scientific test and lots of on-air experience proves that nothing beats 
 sweep tones if a station wants to be heard.
 
 While I've retired from CPC duties for now, I'm happy to provide the 
 material for DX Tests. In fact you can download them yourself at:
 
 http://www.highnoonfilmclient.com/AMCPC/
 
 The sweep tones and other sound effects are in a ZIP file, and the 
 WinMorse software (Freeware) is also mirrored here. It makes it easy to 
 convert text files into Morse Code .WAV files. Follow Paul Walker's 
 example, and ask your local station about doing a test today.

Even though I knew the test had been cancelled I played back most my recording

I'm in Toronto and took the car out last night to escape downtown noise and the 
near-immediate proximity of three AM towers, including one on 1430. I thought 
for a moment once or twice I heard exceedingly faint sweeps. But I had no means 
of recording (I guess I could have set up an MP3 on the car seat or something

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] Reviewing SDR DX

[Niel Wolfish]

I am late to this conversation, but my two cents Canadian worth...   

It is definitely a time-consuming activity to go back and review 
'grabs'/'captures'.   In PEI this past November, I tried to follow Bruce 
Conti's example of getting the top or the bottom of the hour on the Winradio 
Excalibur G31DDC.   But realizing that I was limited in both room on the hard 
drive and time in general, I limited myself  mostly to pre-sunset and local 
sunset times for Trans-Atlantic signals.  Very useful for matching up things 
like the Iranian signals (as Jim Renfrew has suggsted) or possible parallels of 
the UK stations like Gold.     Once it was dark, it did not seem that there 
would be much point in getting  UTC, 0100 UTC, etc. unless conditions 
suddenly changed.   I know I missed one or two interesting things, but you 
can't hear everything, right?    I also made a bunch of sunrise recordings, 
with hopes of hearing some Trans-Pacific stuff.   As there was nothing 
interesting, those were trashed/deleted almost immediately.
   

Now that I am back home, I still have lots of recordings to go through, which 
will be a 'rainy day' project.  But at last I managed to finish listening to 
what ever I had recorded from **2012** before I went back to PEI in 2013.    I 
have also been trying to keep IDs for future posterity using Audacity to edit 
the interesting bits of audio.  

Back in Toronto, still wishing to DX in the present, I am trying to get one 
sunrise or sunset recording a few times a week.  Sunrise is best for me. It 
certainly helps being help to get a recording of a few minutes around 7:30 or 
8:00 am local time when I am otherwise trying to get ready for work.  The 
playback is often done later in the evening while I might also be watching a 
hockey game with the sound off.  Or in the case yesterday, watching the NFL 
playoffs without listening to the announcers.  Although I will generally record 
a segment of the band that is 1000 kHz or 1250 kHz wide, I can usually skip 
most of anything below about 790 kHz as there's not much new I expect to hear 
down there and my locals on 590, 640, 680, 740 and 820 wreak a lot of havoc in 
that range.  Mostly I have been concentrating on the graveyard frequencies with 
some success.

 to record 192 KHz of bandwidth, and using HDSDR software, I've started
 recording TOH periods overnight. I record about four minutes per hour,
 starting at local sunset and continuing through sunrise.

 This provides a total of 19 MW channels to be reviewed per hour, Recording
 for 4 minutes over a ten hour period, leaves me with 760 minutes of data to
 be reviewed daily. Some channels are nearly impossible to find new ones on,
 so these can be reviewed quickly, checking only for unusual conditions. But
 it's still a massive amount of data.

 Since starting this just a few days ago, I've already deleted days of
 recordings, unchecked, simply because there is no practical way to review
 it all. Perseus owners would have an even bigger issue, due to the much
 wider bandwidth that can be recorded. The entire AM band for instance!

 What strategies have other DX'ers found successful for managing the data?
 I've considered recording just the sunrise/sunset periods, or waiting for a
 night with unusual conditions to record TOH ID periods only, or even simply
 recording for a week in mid-winter, then taking my sweet time to review
 them during the summer.

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] WKAL-1450 DX test

I just had a phone call from Ken Zichi (of Williamston, Michigan) that WKAL was 
heard by the guys on the Michigan Area Radio Enthusiasts DXpedition in 
Brighton, Michigan    code IDs at 10 pm Eastern.  

At 10:30 pm 1450 here was mostly somebody in Spanish.  (I'm guessing

[IRCA] UNID 950

[Niel Wolfish]

Yet another mystery on 950.  Heard this evening between 1905 and 1920 Eastern 
Daylight Time. A station with what I would describe as 
Indian/Subcontinental/South Asian music over/under WWJ-Detroit. Not quite 
sunset in Toronto yet.   Also heard two nights ago around the same time.

Thanks.

[IRCA] Oldies 95 on 950?

[Niel Wolfish]

I had somebody playing Dave Mason's We Just Disagree and James Brown's 
Papa's Got A Brand New Bag yesterday morning at 7:30 a.m. (Eastern Standard 
Time) about 30 minutes past local sunrise.   There was a jingle in between the 
songs that sounded like oldies 95.  Also heard around this time was the usual 
WWJ-Detroit as well as WXLW-Indiapolis.  CFAM-Altona was also in prior to local 
sunrise.
 
The only thing I see that would be remotely close would be KRWZ in Denver.  I 
don't think KRWZ is likely.  For what it is worth, the KRWZ website shows the 
songs they played and what I heard does not match up to what they said they 
were playing.
 
I think I also had the same station one day last week around the same time, 
just after the sun had come up in Toronto, with music by Sly  The Family 
Stone, Tommy James and Bill Haley  The Comets.
 
Is anybody aware of somebody else on 950 who recently changed formats?
 
Thanks

[IRCA] Led Zeppelin on 1340 ?

[Niel Wolfish]

Had a station playing All My Love (from 1979) and D'yer Mak'er (from 1972) 
by Led Zeppelin at 2:04 p.m. this afternoon on 1340.  Heard on car radio. If I 
hear anything on 1340 it is usually WLVL-Lockport NY.  Did not see anything 
that would fit, such as a 1340 station that is simulcasting an FM station.   
Maybe somebody has changed formats?

[IRCA] 970 Question

[Niel Wolfish]

I have been spending a lot of time on 970 lately while semi-local WNED (soon to 
be WDCZ) in Buffalo NY is currently off the air.

Most evenings WGTK Louisville KY is the dominant station.  Meanwhile at 
sunrise, WFUN Ashtubala OH seems to be on top until my local mixing 
product/image created by 1010-CFRB and 1050-CHUM shows up.    

This evening at 1936 ELT I heard somebody with Everybody Talks by Neon Trees, 
which I understand is currently at #33 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It sounded 
like the entire song, as opposed to a snippet, so I don't think it was bumper 
music.  After playing back my recording, over the next 20+ minutes of 
listening, the only thing IDable on 970 was WGTK, somebody playing The Beach 
Boys Little Saint Nick (that could be anybody at this time of the year) and 
Super Freak by the late Rick James (who was from Buffalo).

I'll probably regret asking this... Does anybody have any ideas who the station 
on 970 playing Neon Trees might have been?  WAMD In Aberdeen MD looks like it 
'might' be a possibility... but who knows?

Thank you and 73

[IRCA] Steely Dan on 1550?

[Niel Wolfish]

On the way home from the store this evening heard somebody on 1550 playing 
Steely Dan's Night By Night (from their 1974 Pretzel Logic release).   
Heard underneath WIGN (playing Southern Gospel) just before 7 p.m. I know 
there are a few 1550s listed as being oldies or classic hits, but this doesn't 
sound like a song I would expect to hear on AM radio.  Maybe Rikki Don't Lose 
That Number, Reelin' In The Years or Peg, but not this. 
 
Ideas anybody?

 Wouldn't that be The Box Tops' The

 Around here that format would fit (roughly) KVSH-NE and not
 much else, though that seems unlikely in your case (but
 still a possibility maybe?)
 
 Another possibility is that the Montréal transmitter is on
 and testing, in light of recent developments for that
 frequency there?

[IRCA] 910 question

[Niel Wolfish]

Had somebody playing Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's Carry On (from 1970) at 
7:12 a.m. this morning on 910.   Surfaced for most (but not all) of the song.   
Around local sunrise 910 here in Toronto it is usually WFDF (Radio Disney) and 
WAVL (Liberty 910).  And WDOR Sturgeon Bay WI was heard a bit later at 8:00 
a.m.   There was also some CW in there, which I assume was probably KCJB-Minot 
ND, as I heard them around the same time two days ago.

Cassopolis MI?

[IRCA] 1350 CIRA-5

[Niel Wolfish]

I guess I'm now the fourth or fifth person to log this new station.  Heard on 
the car radio this afternoon at 5:02 p.m. with a young girl speaking in 
French.  Parallel to 1670.   As the car radio only tunes in increments of 10 
kHz, I can't say exactly what frequency they were on.  However, somebody is 
definitely off frequency, as there's quite a rumble noise on 1350.   Soon faded 
down and WOYK-York PA began dominating.  
 
I don't recall hearing the old occupant on 1350 (CHOV/CHRO Pembroke) too many 
times, but back in those days we had Oshawa (CKLB/CKDO) on 1350 to contend 
with.

Back when Oshawa was still on, Akron was a big problem in the evenings.    Way 
back in the day, CKLB carried Montreal Expos baseball.  I remember loaning my 
brother my Realistic TRF  so that he could try and listen to CKLB in the 
evening.   This was back in 1980-1981 or so when the Expos were contending for 
the National League East.   We were about 34 miles to the west of the CKLB 
xmtr.

Niel, I was about to ask how much of Akron you get there at night, but I got my 
answer by going to radio-locator.com.  Looks like their null is protecting what 
used to be CKDO-1350.   And now that CKDO is gone, would there be any reason 
for that null to continue?  WARF could certainly tweak its pattern a little if 
it wanted to.

I guess I'm now the fourth or fifth person to log this new station.  Heard on 
the car radio this afternoon at 5:02 p.m. with a young girl speaking in 
French.  Parallel to 1670.   As the car radio only tunes in increments of 10 
kHz, I can't say exactly what frequency they were on.  However, somebody is 
definitely off frequency, as there's quite a rumble noise on 1350.   Soon faded 
down and WOYK-York PA began dominating.  
 
I don't recall hearing the old occupant on 1350 (CHOV/CHRO Pembroke) too many 
times, but back in those days we had Oshawa (CKLB/CKDO) on 1350 to contend 
with.  
 
Thanks to Barry in Ottawa for the tip.

Jim,

WTWK's signal has been sort of an oddity in reception from here in Newfoundland 
for me the past couple of years.

In all the time previous spent in St. John's, I had never logged it there. 

During a weekend out at Old Perlican 100 miles away to the northwest , I had 
finally logged it for the first time in November or December 2010. 

Since that time I have heard it a few times here in Bristol's Hope with a bit 
of a muffled signal both in the late evening and occasional early morning.

WSM has been fairly common here in western Manitoba this winter at times

does anyone remember when 650 went on the air there? In the old days WSM was a 
regular nighttimer here and many folks around here would tune in to the Grand 
Ole Opry on Saturday nights. Unfortunately the vast majority of these folks 
have since passed on and the few remaining don't remember exactly when 
Saskatoon killed the reception of WSM here.

Now I forget which listserver I saw this thread on, so I'll just post it to all
three that I belong to...


WSM covering 38 states at night might be a stretch, but I can get them on a
nightly basis in Omaha. And if you take a compass, stretch it from Nashville to
Omaha and make the circle, that circle will cover all or part of 28 states,
missing New England and everything west of the Mountain-Central Time Zone line.
That's still a pretty big chunk of the lower 48.

The CRTC had denied an application to renew the broadcasting licence of CHSC, 
and they were supposed to be off the air at the end of August.  Their owner, 
Pellpropco,  obtained an interim injunction to stay on the air while the 
Federal Court of Appeal considered the owner's appeal of the CRTC decision.  
Apparently the Federal Court of Appeal has now denied the appearl.

[IRCA] 1550 WSRY test loud and clear in Toronto

[Niel Wolfish]

Tuned in before top-of-the-hour to catch legal ID (mentioning ESPN) and then 
heard sweep tones and CW.  Over/under CBE-Windsor with minimal splatter from 
local CHIN on 1540. Listening on a SONY ICF-2010. First heard them as WSER back 
in December of 1979.

Thanks for the test.

[IRCA] 950 unID (again)

[Niel Wolfish]

A few days ago I posted about an unidentified station on 950.  I have heard 
this again a couple of times this week on 950 just before 6:00 a.m. EST (which 
is five hours behind UTC), including this morning (Thursday November 27).   
Again this morning I heard a woman singing the Star Spangled Banner in what I 
would describe as gospel-style. Perhaps somebody like Whitney Houston singing?  
Unfortunately, the singing sticks out and then the signal fades back into the 
mud and I never hear an ID.

I don’t need the Wikipedia links to radio stations on 950 or the home phone 
number of the station’s chief engineer.  I am just wondering if anybody has 
actually been listening to 950 at this time and has heard the same thing as me. 
 Thanks.

Unfortunately, the singing sticks out and then the signal fades into the muck. 
Same way as the Radio Reloj IDs stick out on 950.

950 is usually a mess at this hour, with the Cuban and WWJ-Detroit in there, 
but nobody really dominating.  And too early for WROC-Rochester to start taking 
charge.  Just wondering if anybody else has heard this recently.  Perhaps WDIG 
in Steubenville OH?

[IRCA] CFFX heard on the North Coast...

[Niel Wolfish]

...of Lake Ontario.

Glad to see that the CFFX test made it to the West
Coast and to Scotland.  Here in Toronto (just 2 hours
or so west of Kingston on Highway 401) I had no
problem hearing CFFX mixing with WFIR.  Of course,
CFFX was a regular here.  I listened before the test
period started to hear a ..we're moving to FM
announcement.  And at midnight I heard the code, sweep
tones and music by John Mayer and some Canadian
content in the form of a song by Blue Rodeo.   That
was enough for me, as it was already past my bedtime..
Contrary to the myth eminating from Tennessee, this
Canadian also is not rich and had to get up early for
work.  I wonder how much other Canadian content got
played before they signed off of 960 for good. 
Perhaps Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of The Russ Edmunds
Fitzgerald?  (Although that might be too much of an
oldie for the Lite 104.3 format..)

Thanks to Saul and Jim.

I checked for about a minute this morning on the way
to work on the car radio and 960 had strains of news

[IRCA] 910 Unid

I'll concur with Russ.  I was listening to 910 (again)
on the SRF-59 last night and heard 3WR around 2330. 
Also in the mix at that time, the Cuban and WSBA (York

My location in Toronto is about 15 minutes northwest
of Saul's place so we would have similar reception

[IRCA] Another SRF-59 owner - initial testing

[Niel Wolfish]

I decided to splurge on the SONY SRF-59, as if I
need another radio (considering the amount of time I
spend DXing).  I found what appeared to be the only
one in stock at my local Best Buy lying in a pile with
the some portable CD players.  I would have asked one
of the sales staff for assistance in locating the
SRF-59 but all the clerks seemed to be busy helping
other customers trying to buy HD radios.  

I could have pulled a George Constanza {Seinfeld
episode # 79 - The Pie} and hid the item until
January when our Goods and Services Tax reduces from
6% to 5% and saved 30 cents!

So far all I have done with the SRF-59 is tune in 910
and place it next to my Radio Shack loop. 910 is a
good frequency to sit on as nothing ever seems to
dominate. And I'm still hoping to finally log either
Minot ND (KCJB) or Drumheller AB (CKDQ) one of these
days The Cuban Radio Cadena Agramonte was loud and
clear at 2330 last night and WFDF (Radio Disney) was
dominating this morning around 0700. Neat radio.  I'm
just not used to not being able to punch up a
frequency or rely on a bank of memories.

[IRCA] 1070-WINA IDs heard on 1450?

[Niel Wolfish]

My getting ready for work morning routine usually
involves leaving my ICF-2010 on in the background on
1450.  With semi-local CHUC-Cobourg gone, I'm hoping
to hear something aside from WMAJ (State College),
WYNY (Rome) or WPSE (Erie).

This morning, I heard two 1070-WINA IDs at
approximately 5:50 a.m. in the space of about 30
seconds.  I see that WVAX in Charlottesville VA is
co-owned with WINA by Saga Communications.  Can
anybody closer to that neck of the words confirm that
WVAX might be simulcasting WINA or maybe is just
sharing news clips with WINA?

[Niel Wolfish]

Those of you still needing to log 1450-CHUC (Cobourg
Ontario) better do so now.   They move to FM 107.9 for
good on Wednesday November 7.

[IRCA] Problemas con CHHA-1610

[Niel Wolfish]

 

On Sunday evening as I was driving to meet Jim Renfrew and Saul
Chernos for the pre-Cappahayden DXpedition departure dinner I noticed
that local CHHA was throwing a nasty spur onto both 1560 and 1660 (50
kHz on either side of 1610).  (For a moment there I was fooled and
wondered why WQEW was in Spanish) 

This morning I noticed that CHHA was off the air.  I was able to
hear Radio Disney on 1560 on the car radio around 11:45 a.m.   Haven't
had a chance to see if they are back and if the problem is fixed.

[IRCA] EWTN on 1450 ?

[Niel Wolfish]

Last night at 11 p.m. (2300) I heard the distinct
strains of the EWTN interval signal on 1450.
Unfortunately, I did not hear an ID or anything else
useful.

www.10watts.com shows that Fort Wayne's WLYV is
listed as being EWTN.  

Anybody know of any other potential candidates?

Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] !DX Milestone - 1600th Station MW station heard!

[Niel Wolfish]

Congrats.

I would have to agree that they are probably not using
the 90 watts at night.  I have been hearing them far
too often in Toronto recently.  And with the IDs (from
co-owned) 1150-WTTT on more than one occasion.

 The 1600th MW station logged by yours truly in
 Maryland was heard 
 just now in the form or WROL 950.  I heard the end
 of a syndicated 
 program, an ID, and a string of spots at 0557 11/10.
 They seemed to 
 be on full power, and were definitely not just the
 listed 90 watts 
 for nighttime operation.
 
 Now on to 1700 and beyond!
