Re: [IRCA] [Amdx] unID 1510 Oldies in again tonight - HELP!

["mwhunter" <mwhunter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul:

You are correct, this is not likely to be WRNJ. I live 26 miles from
Hackettstown and can't hear them here. They run a 10 Watt translator on 92.7
in Washington Boro, NJ which is 22 miles from here and which I do hear
perfectly.

Their ID is generally with a male announcer "Oldies 1510 WRNJ" and they
often throw in "Thank you for listening to your local radio station."  They
do have a singing weather jingle which is simply "WRNJ Weather" with women
singers. That was the pattern tonight at the time you mentioned along with a
string of local ads.

At 2235 they aired a singing jingle simply "WRNJ" with women singers.

Their music tends toward the sixties-seventies.

I hope this narrows down your search a little.

For what it is worth, I read today that over 400 AM stations now run FM
translators.

Paul,

I'm reasonably sure that it was a "w" call.  It did not seem to match
NJ's stream, so could be Wabash, IN, or Ohio on late, or maybe a recent
format change.  

I really cannot believe that others are not hearing this.  I solved an
unID on 830 in 2009 by Googling it and found that a station in Cortland,
Ohio had been on late for months but I did not see where others were
hearing it.  Maybe you, Kaz and John Rieger are the only folks that read
my posts, LOL. 


Here are the "W" "oldies / rockers" from Barry's list.

	Dave, I still think that you may be hearing KMSD. They are
definately
	more oldies than classic rock. I should be DXing this weekend
(sick now
	so haven't gone out to DX this week and noting no one is exited
about
	cx) and can usually hear them if you want to compare notes.  73

	I'm sorry to say that it must have been a different station.  I
checked

last
	night.
	Thanks for the email, though and have a great Thanksgiving.

	Hello;
	
	I am a DX'er from Indianapolis, Indiana.  A DX'er is one who
tries to
	hear and log distant radio stations.  Last night I *think* that
I may
	have heard your station.  It was just after midnight EST (just
after 11
	PM CST - your time) and I heard Oldies music.  The station was
very hard
	to hear as the station from Nashville was much stronger.   Can
you check
	to see if your station played "Let Your Love Flow" by the
Bellamy
	Brothers, followed by "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" by the
Casino's.  I
	believe those songs were played around 11:10 PM CST.  I also
heard
	"Bridge Over Troubled Water" later by Simon and Garfunkel, at
about
	11:20 CST.
	
	Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
	
	Very Respectfully,
	Dave Hascall
	Indianapolis, IN
