Worse than yesterday. The list today is deceiving, and came from
serious digging through the recordings. Those strengths were for a
few moments at a time; very erratic, Often there would be only one

Good job Martin. I need to remember to buy one of those KAPL stickers for my

Quite a good morning here - but unfortunately only for one station.
Korea on 1566 was doing well, from tune-in at 1300, to past 1420.

Yep, very mediocre at my QTH as well at 13:55 UTC. The only Russian heard
was 279, and only at fair level. Otherwise 3 or 4 of the more powerful

Had CFAC a few days ago, it gets out well. Not sure if there's other sports
stations using that slogan, though. My ID was determined by local Calgary
Flames references.

Is CFAC the only station on 960 with this ID? I haerd it very clearly, but
no station call letters at 0250 UTC in Springfield Ma. I think it might be
possible because I also got WNMT from Northern Minnesota this evening. Jim

I'm not sure what source you use for TIS calls, but FCC lists a different call
for Strongsville.
The woman is a different station and there's a highway mention. I can't make
out the complete calls. Things might be easier if you could record so people
can listen to it with both ears. I'd suspec

The wobbler was so loud on 650 kHz last night that I almost posted about it in
honor of W Curt Deegan of Boca Rotan Fla, who passed away a few years ago. He
had a website for it that seems to have been taken down. It was by far the
loudest thing on 650, with a Cuban very low in the mud along wit
There is no substitute for opening an envelope and seeing a nice new QSL card

somewhat with a late rally by several low-band Korean and Chinese stations,
finally bringing the overall results up to something like low average. The band

The frequency "wobbling" originates at the Cuban stations.
It would seem to be intentional rather than just being a result of
poorly-maintained equipment.
This has been noted at different times on many different Cuban stations
including those you mentioned, plus 870 and others.
Maybe it's t
I scanned a business card for the logo on the KRSN QSL cards (example:

You don't even have to go to all of that trouble. You can get logo info off the
