690 is turning out to be terrible with IBOC crud, and 940 isn't much
better with such a strong signal from WGRP all of the time. Tonight I
got WMAC "Newstalk 940" from Macon GA at 0031 EST, FEB 17. A relog, I'm
fairly sure, but if so not heard in a long time.
I find that phase-nulling WLW and using USB works pretty well on 690. My
big
problem there is that my three 50 kW locals gang up to produce an intermod
product on 690, covering up the weak signals. Broadband antennas are
nice,
but they do have that drawback - I guess I need a preselector of some sort
ahead of the receiver. Despite that problem, I've managed a few new
loggings, KTSM, KFXN and WADS, and have heard CBU (relog) a number of
times.
No sign of other western stations such as KGGF and KOAQ so far (both would
be
relogs), or of CBKF-1 and KSTL, which are needed. Cuba and Colombia
usually
dominate here at night.
On 940, I've heard 14 different stations (including WMAC) since the demise
of
CINW, but only one, KVSH, was a new logging. It's usually a mixture of
pesty
cheater WGRP and XEQ here at night. Still looking for WECO, WCSW, and
several others.
