Congrats to all those in the 'north' and 'midwest' who bagged this!  I went to bed early and my PRS puked before TOH/BOH I had scheduled. :-(

I don't think PRS likes it when you set it up 'live', start listening to wav files and then bring it back 'live.'

Oh well, next time ...

One tell-tale is that local ground wave signals are stronger when regional signals are absorbed into the aurora.  I had our local TIS on 910 all alone, all groundwave.  WNED 970 in Buffalo was also alone.  And I had a weak image from WBEN 930 appear on 660. An image is usually too weak to propagate at night. but when all the competition is being hammered by aurora, its all alone.

There are other Radio Globo stations in other cities and one is on 830 AM. I don't have a WRTH handy so I can't see what its power is but I would think that it isn't a high output station in a remote area of the country.If anyone has that info then I stand corrected if I'm incorrect. How can that signal drop into several receiver locations in the Eastern US from almost 5000 miles away with so many North American Stations occupying this freq including 2 high powers in Cleveland and St.Catherines.?
