>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 ac!
 curate 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 :>)

John, another thought.  Perhaps a 2x harmonic?  Any Disney channel on 850?.......Walt.
