Very interesting, Bill. I have compiled NDBs from Newfoundland since 1995. I've heard most of the NDBs you've heard, though I haven't heard your Chile and Ecuador stations. I've had quite a few from Iceland, North Sea oil platforms, as well as some MW band NDBs from Eastern Europe. 1060 is one

Quite a ways back I could never get Vermont into my log book from western New York, a situation now remedied with quite a few from that state received. Eventually I got my first Vermont station during mid-day. I can't remember which one, but it may have been the one I just logged at noon on the c

Re: [IRCA] What's wrong with 1160

It's back at 2300 EDT - some sort of glitch with the feed or the sound equipment, with a lyric "hold onto me", 10 seconds silence, and then repeated. It dominates the channel. It's not WCCS and I think I hear religion from Chicago, too. Ah, the days with only KSL; it's nearly graveyard now. Jim

[IRCA] 1510

On Sunday i managed to get around the usual dominant stations on the newly freed 1510. Usually it's a mix of WRNJ greatest hits, WWSM country, Catholic programming on WPGR, and WLAC talk (WLAC not as domininating as i would have expected post-WMEX). At 8:30 am I had about 30 minutes of WRRD from

No recording posted. But if you say it's been broadcasting Spanish lately that's probably the explanation. Though the web page is all Portuguese. I've heard the Portuguese broadcasts many times before, so not anything new to me. Thanks, Mark. Jim Renfrew On Sep 13, 2017 3:20 PM, "Mark Connelly

As far as I know WCCM is Portuguese "Nossa Radio", and the station web page gives no indication that it's anything but Portuguese. What I heard over several hours last night was entirely Spanish rapidly spoken. The only ID I managed to hear was "La emisora de musica vaquera", but I'm not sure abo

Jim Renfrew, Clarendon NY For the second night a strong Spanish language program on 1570. I'm not hearing anything that sounds like an ID or slogan tonight. Music and a lot of rapid-fire ads, but I'm not catching any geographic references, except for "Republica Dominicana", but no station from t
