I have not checked here but my brother in Middlebury, VT told me last week that he was getting somebody in Spanish on 990 around 0200 EDT. Since WALE in Providence is silent (again) I told him that WXCT was the most likely candidate. Marc DeLorenzo South Dennis, Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Hello to Bill in BC and the Group In answer to Bill's query. the local station that occupied 560 on the dial from Carbonear has since moved to FM 103.9 a while ago and now that part of the band only has a CBC outlet on 540 in Grand Falls-Windsor and of course the powerhouse out of St.

Not usually on AM. What changes up reception is stations running day power for emergency, staying on past s/off if a daytimer and also those forced off the air as a result of the storm. Sometimes there are odd tropo effects on FM however. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id

Around 03:00 CDT this morning I noted the resultant het/rumble this station caused against WLAC.  For several minutes the rumble was changing frequency indicating their carrier was drifting. Tom Jasinski Joliet ___ IRCA mailing list

I don't believe it has any affect on MW other than knocking some stations off the air. But I have heard that there is good FM tropo DX prior to a big storm. Not much of an FM DXer myself, I'll defer to others on that subject. Marc DeLorenzo South Dennis, Cape Cod, Massachusetts

I happened to be doing some overnight recordings last night on my Perseus, and noticed an off-frequency signal on 1510 (well actually more like 1509.82,and fluctuating, as you noted), which must have been KCTE. Didn't 'catch a call sign, but did hear the Hot Talk slogan. Another oddity
