Re: [IRCA] [mwdx] 1560 NYC off

[Russ Edmunds <wb2bjh@xxxxxxxxx>]

WQXR was NYC's AM classical music station for many years. I remember them
being so when I started DX'ing in the 1950's. They too
started as an amateur station in the 1930's, as W2XR. They adopted the WQXR
xalls as the Q somewhat resembled the 2 in both sound and on a quick look.
Even in Northern NJ maybe 30-35 miles west of NYC, their night signal was
often unreliable. Looking at the night pattern tells why.
