CKNW is advertising they are now HD. So far I have not detected any IBOC hash on 970 or 990. The signal off the NE EWE is pretty good, but nothing no noise. Tonight my local noise is a bit less too. Is anyone getting hash? Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager

Congrats Bill. I remember when Dennis, Dawn, and I visited their tx site with a longwire in 2008. The coverage around Flagstaff was pretty bad. I figured you should hear it in time though, as when KVAN 1480 was running that longwire back in the 70s, I caught it from Seaside, but as you may

I just heard my most wanted Arizona station at 5:26 MST when I heard "Northern Arizona's Sunny 104.7"  so after many years of trying I heard KVNA..  This station has been using a long wire antenna and does not get out well at all even in Flagstaff the signal is poor in some parts of town.

It was close, but I managed to hit my target of reaching MW station #2000 logged (no call changes) before the New Year. Station #2000 turned out to be KKAN 1490 from Phillipsburg, KS, heard at UTC on the 31st. The first new one of 2016 turned out to be another graveyarder, 1230

--- Begin Message --- Bill, I remember during the 2008 Flagstaff IRCA convention which you hosted, we track down KVNA 600 185' longwire antenna. Some guys at a nearby business thought we were going to steal the antenna for scrap. All we did was take a bunch of pictures of it. Great convention.
