In the past couple of weeks, I've been checking the dial for stations in
the Eastern time zone. The results have been rather interesting.
About a week ago, I was able to null KFI well enough to hear the Cuban
on 640 at 0400. It was pretty weak - I had to use the KiwiSDR in Key
West to confirm that the songs matched what I was hearing. This was my
first Cuban log on many years, although I must confess to not having
checked for them very often.
I've also managed to hear a few US and Canadian logs from EST-land:
WBZ - heard under KTWO at 0507UT on 29 October, with call ID and
snippets of the Bradley Jay show (including what might have been his
theme song). Another station I haven't heard in recent decades.
KDKA - a traffic and weather report and "Newsradio 10-20 KDKA" ID at
0507 10/25 mixing with KWIQ. Yet another one that hasn't been heard
here in ages.
WTAM-1100 Cleveland, dominating at 1000UT 10/25. I was able to adjust
the null on the flag to eliminate KFAX.
WCKY-1530 surfaced 0500 11/3 with a nice id & ESPN sports, KFBK was
partially eliminated by adjusting the flag's null.
WHAS - dominant for a couple of minutes one evening, despite several
west coast stations on 840
WJR - this is a regular here, the easiest EST station in these parts,
heard several times
CFZM-740 and CKDO-1580, mixing with the west coast QRM a couple of times
WGY-810? - tentatively heard with KGO nulled. It was a national talk
show and matched the stations web feed, but I won't claim it until I
hear local content......
A north-facing flag antenna was used to hear all of the above
stations,. Nulls on 50kw Californians made it possible to hear several
of these stations. I'm still trying to figure out if there are other
possibilities for east coast reception here in the Pacific Northwest
(aside from CIAO-530 and the expanded band stations).
