Re: [IRCA] WABC et al

You never got the Florida Travel Station on 1680 or the Miami station on 1700?  I'm surprised.  I never got WFAN (at least since it was WFAN), WISN, WRCG or WNML.  I did get the Florida stations I mentioned earlier.  Way back when, I got WGBS/710, WAPE/690, WLBE/790, WDGY/1130, WNEW/1130, WHN/1050, WINS/1010, WBZ/1030, WUNI/1410, WPNX/1460, WLAC/1510, WAGL/1560, WHDH/850, WSAI/1360, WOHO/1470, WIRE/1430 and a bunch more that I can't remember off the top of my head.  Going through job boards (and drinking beer at the same time) doesn't lend well to remembering way back when.  I suppose Patrick's "J" list is bigger than our "W" lists combined.  Oh well, back to looking for work.

Hi Dennis,

I can probably give credit to Dave in Redmond for getting me to think about this as I drew up a "W" list of what I heard since moving here in 1996. I should have posted it first.

 

Anyways, it got me thinking, hi.  My list isn't too bad considering. (I guess)... Other stations I suppose I would wonder about would be WCBS, WNBC. Maybe 640 WWLS (Not high power, but I caught this years ago in So. Cal), 1140 WRVA, 670 WSCR- (ex WMAQ)-- Dave had this one in recently thru KBOI,  and then WSB 750.  Others I should consider????

 

I have WWL marked down at about once per year. It's definitely less common for me than it was even just a few years back.  A few of the ones below I've caught fairly recently. WSM, WBBM (local was off), KDKA and WHAM- those in the last month or two. 

 

I know what you mean about the good 'ol days. I got a Radio West loop not long after I started DXing in the late 70's and it did well up to a few years ago when I got the Kiwa.

73- Doug

 

Here's what I've got:

650 WSM

660 WFAN

700 WLW

720 WGN

760 WJR

780 WBBM

820 WBAP

830 WCCO

840 WHAS

870 WWL

890 WLS

1020 KDKA- ok so it's not a "W", hi.

1040 WHO

1100 WTAM

1130 WISN test

1180 WHAM

1200 WOAI

1420 WRCG test

1670 WNML- was on 1670

Doug,

 

The last time I heard WABC was 01-20-66 at 2:10 AM PST.  Furthest US stations from this location have been WLW 700 kHz and WJR 760 kHz.  Took me a year to hear WWL New Orleans.  The stations heard recently were heard on a 5' loop.  If I had only had a EWE antenna and a balum back in the 1960's, instead of a 75' long-wire and zip cord for a lead in.  Those were the days, no info-commercials, stations ID many times.  Good Luck0
