As John and Colin, and others pointed out, things were unsettled this morning.
I wasn't expecting much with A/K indices of 13 and 3, but nonetheless, there
were some surprises. I monitored between 13:47 and 14:35 or so. Results

Hi Group:
I'm finding that having a decent receiver makes a huge difference in the lower

That station wasn't getting more coverage then it was licensed for, exactly.
WNBH 1340 is right near the water in New Bedford and where Craig heard it in
Maine was near the water.. and obviously AM travels amazingly well over
water.

Hi Paul,
Thanks very much; I understand it now. It has all to do with the rules and
nothing to do with actual RF transmission and antennas. So that example that
was cited was getting more coverage than it was licensed for, apparently,
since it used a taller tower without reducing its power. I w

This morning was sort of typical of somewhat disturbed conditions
here. Levels were down and, in general, the JJs were doing better
thaqn the mainland stations. About 2/3 of the lower band had at least
some audio on it, but things above 1100 were pretty sparse: 5 with
audio early, joined by 8
I didn't include Ocala since they're still in the FCC database as
"DWCFI", which often means
the FCC is making them "stand in the corner", but hasn't actually
carried out the "death sentence" yet!

Steve,
I will try an answer your question from a broadcasters point of view. I have
a general understanding of RF and FCC stuff.
When you see a station's licensed power listed, it is almost always for a
1/4 wave tower. When I was at WQMA 1520, our tower was 150 feet which is 1/4
wave for 1520 Khz
As an AM TX and general domestic AM dummy, what does all this mean, about
not being able to put a 1kW signal into some type of tower? What does the
power and or tower have to do with not being able to feed full power into
the antenna?

I don't think we were able to hear anything out of it, at least we tried.
It's not WNBH as far as we can tell.
It's not WNBS, as that is in Murray Kentucky and "Newport" is 5 hours away.

Hi Craig,
I missed this thread in the beginning. Did any of us help with the ID? (I'm
guessing a few didn't catch it since they were asking) I heard "Newport" then
what sounded like WNBS (one letter off- and perhaps one city over, hi.)

There was an AM not far from me at WABV, that was on a Class C Channel and
supposedly had a 5/8 wave tower.. and put the full 1KW into the tower.
Glad we could try and help!
