Re: [IRCA] 1700 kHz. Mystery Disney Station

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all of the checks on my mystery 1700 Disney station. If I 
hadn't been so careful, I'd think at this point that I was dreaming. 
However, I was in the middle of intense logging for the Ultralight DX 
Sprint. Unfortunately, I did not have my recorder on-line. I had just 
logged new (for the Sprint) stations on 1510, 1540, 1670, 1680 and 
there I sat on 1700, with bubble gum music coming in my ears. It was 
especially odd because I'm used to hearing Brownsville and Richardson 
Texas to my due south  and Des Moines to my NNE. I hadn't logged any 
of them (just hadn't gotten this far up the dial before) during the 
Sprint, so I was expecting to be able to snag at least one, maybe 
more. Instead, there, BY ITSELF, was Disney at moderate strength... 
including a Radio Disney ID at 0043 on March 2. I nulled it carefully 
and got due East/West. I was using a tuned 12" x 1" ferrite "booster 
bar" inductively coupled to the DT-200VX, which has a digital dial. 
The nulling is probably accurate within plus/minus 10 degrees. 0043 
was just 20 minutes past local sunset, so central and northern New 
Mexico MIGHT be in play.... Amarillo would be a suspect, as would 
Tulsa (wasn't that strong) Ft. Smith, Springfield (maybe), Little 
Rock and Memphis. A real mystery to me (and you folks, too, apparently :>)
