[IRCA] WAEI Maine silent so 910 almost an empty channel here (909 UK stronger!)

[Mark Connelly <markwa1ion@xxxxxxx>]

I did a quick check of the MW band at 7 p.m. EDT / 2300 UTC and, among other things, noted that 910 kHz is nearly vacant.  There's just a weak signal from WLAT New Britain, CT with some Spanish music, but this domestic channel is so weak that BBC Radio Five Live on 909 is much stronger than anything on 910.  I suspect if WAEI stays silent (which is quite likely from what I have read) that 909 will be a very easy TA around the northeastern states and that 910 will become a Latin American "shooting gallery" anytime the conditions shift southward.  Argentina anyone?

Audio clip of  909 UK heard here at 7 p.m. EDT can be downloaded from:

I suspect this will be a rather routine reception with Maine gone.  Even on "ultralights".
