Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] WWVA 1170 on ND pattern past KFAQ

Glad you got a definite ID on my this, Glenn. I have had WWVA here in southwest Missouri in years past with Tulsa nulled, but at most a couple of times. Now--can anyone suggest any targets whose transmitters really ARE within WV that get out well to the west?

On the NRD-545, I`m getting it much better on the N/S wire, i.e. minimizing signal from KFAQ, rather than the E/W ALA-330S. On the DX-398 I try to DF it, and it seems to be only slightly different than KFAQ from the ESE: about ENE/WSW. Program seems to be wrapping up, referring to a ``Restoration message`` from the ``Bible School of Prophecy, Jacksonville``, running past hourtop and of course fading before any ID can get past KFAQ; or is it a sign-off/power-down?

Quite a rarity here; in fact I don`t think I`ve ever heard WWVA in OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

We used to hear then KVOO on the studio monitors in Wheeling when WWVA was off for maintenance back in the 70s. I've only logged WWVA as far west as Indianapolis. We were told it would interfere pretty badly with Tulsa if left on day pattern. WWVA continues the 'God Block' during evenings. Big money maker.`` Worth further checking west of Wheeling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
