Hi Guys:
5 KW WPNP in Watertown, MINNESOTA is pounding into London, ONTARIO @ 0315
EST.
Programming is in HMONG LANGUAGE (Similar to Cambodian), and consists of Hmong
Singing by a Male Singer.
Very Distinctive Sounding!!
It's a RELOG Here.
Hearing this on a SONY SRF-T615 ULR
Tried for 580 WHP had KMJ Fresno completely nulled but just my luck loud static
curtis in vacaville California Kiwa loop sony icf 2010 possibly may have had a
chance to possibly hear them but due to loud static nothing was heard. 1460
also had loud static and iboc from 1470 from radio disney
This morning (Monday 2-27) I heard WUTQ Utica - 1550 AM 95.5 FM with potent
signal from 0500 - 0600 Eastern.
They must be on one kilowatt full day power - not 3 watts night power.
Format is you-know-every-word pop hit oldies.
During the night of the DX test, I heard a station in Spanish with
Excellent here with fiddles and Indian music and CW and voice IDs. Now I have
to go back and check the tape to see if any other IDs popped in at 1am PST
since I don't have KKOV or the latest of many San Francisco calls.

Nothing heard from WHP and WTKT.
West Virgina on 580 is to strong.
ESPN, 1460, Columbus is way to strong.

Both tests heard here, but WTKT was under WDDY and an SS station I believe
is WKDV.
580 was much better.
Will replay recordings tomorrow.

was a jumble, sounded like a graveyard channel. I was hoping the morse from

The indices were up so that may have been a contributing factor, or there may
have been a technical hitch and they did not go Non-D. I'm waiting to hear back

Hello To All,

Thanks for the information.
I wish them luck with the business format. I think they'll need it due to
the high position they have on the AM dial and in my opinion, many people
don't listen to business formatted radio stations which may hurt them in the
long run.
The station is streaming
Wow, that format held for almost eleven years and three call changes. Sad to
see it go, but I can see where it would have had few listeners.

KFBK does have the highest RMS field at 1 km (and unless I'm calculating wrong
it seems KSTP, which has a similar-type antenna, has the highest RfccMS field

3126.79 mV/m @ 1 km nighttime, 3545.89 mV/m @ 1 km daytime, and
Not surprisingly, I was able to hear all the announcements for the 580 WHP
test. The best signal was during the 4:05am segment although voice and code
made it through the other times, too. I'm about 75 miles NW of the station
and can normally hear them well during the day, not so well at night.
Rick,
Agreed! My dx from NW Iowa always found KFYR with a good daytime
signal, year round. Concordia KS would be under them but KFYR was a
solid signal. From California I was always impressed with being able to
hear KUZZ-800-Bakersfield with 250 D daytime. This from West Sacramento
CA.
KSTP at night uses 3 tripod like towers that are specially geared for optimal
skywave. These towers are the original built back in the early history of KSTP.
When I was in Grand Island, NE back in the 80's, I remember that at night, KSTP
had a local signal, stronger than KRGI, that did not
