[IRCA] 1458.5 KC +/-

I could not hear anything on 1458.5 kc +/- last night here in Tampa Bay, even with the outside preamplified 5 foot coaxial loop. At day there is no way to hear anything due to a vile splattering Mexican programming station on 1460 kc. Like I said previously it sounds like some sort of digital transmission to me, like intermittent PSK.

Speaking of 1460 when it was WBAR from Bartow it was one of my favorite stations before it went Mexican or whatever in Spanish. The station played country from the 1940's through the 1990's and had it's own local on air personalities. All ads were local with no satellite feeds of any kind. Listening to the station was like a cross between the Grand Ol' Opry and Hee Haw. Sometimes the D.J.'s would even play their own records.

David,

That's the right vicinity, but mine is definitely on/off. It's still going at midnight, now mixing with some static thanks to off shore lightning. The level doesn't seem to have changed appreciably since sundown. While there is some fading of the background noise, I can't hear any in the signal. I guess that would indicate it might be ground wave only and possibly somewhere not too far away.

Nothing to do but keep listening. Maybe something will change.

I have a very weak carrier on 1458.5 vicinity at 0255Z. Doesn't seem to be

turning on/off or otherwise varying.
