AM stations with "Limited Time" day-power designations |
|
Thursday, March 14 2019
I had promised a few people in the hobby some time back that I would get around to this, and now I finally am. What follows is a list of AM stations that, to the best of my knowledge, are still desginated as "limited time" (my own two cents, first: "limited time" is perhaps the ultimate misnomer, as NONE of these stations are having their day-power hours limited to anything less than a sunrise-to-sunset schedule. If anything, the designation should be what it really is -- "extended time" for each station). In the case of many of these, the information listed is what they were using back in the 1990s, so if anything has changed in the years since with any station, PLEASE feel free to make a correction and/or update.
710 - WEKC Williamsburg, KY and WTPR Paris, TN - both stations sign on at monthly sunrise time of WOR in New York City 750 - KMMJ Grand Island, NE - goes to day power at monthly sunrise time of WSB in Atlanta 770 - WEW St. Louis, MO - signs on at monthly sunrise time of WABC in New York City 780 - WJAG Norfolk, NE - signs on at monthly sunrise time of WBBM in Chicago 810 - WSYW Indianapolis, IN - signs on at monthly sunrise time of WGY in Schenectady 840 - KTIC West Point, NE - I'm listing this one simply because they sign on with full day power every morning at 6:00 local time, even if it's before the monthly sunrise time of WHAS in Louisville 850 - KFUO Clayton, MO - signs off at monthly sunset time of KOA in Denver 870 - WHCU Ithaca, NY - goes to night power at monthly sunset time of WWL in New Orleans 1020 - WPEO Peoria, IL - signs on at monthly sunrise time of KDKA in Pittsburgh 1030 - KCTA Corpus Christi, TX - goes to day power (no sign-on announcement!) at monthly sunrise time of WBZ in Boston 1060 - WHFB Benton Harbor, MI - goes to 2500 watt critical hours power at monthly sunrise time of KYW in Philadelphia 1110 - KFAB Omaha, NE - is, of course, 50 KW all 24 hrs, but goes to its non-directional day pattern at monthly sunrise time of WBT in Charlotte 1140 - WVEL Pekin, IL - goes to 3200 watt critical hours power (no sign-on announcement) at monthly sunrise time of WRVA in Richmond 1160 - WYLL Chicago, IL - goes to its night pattern at monthly sunset time of KSL in Salt Lake City 1530 - WCKY Cincinnati, OH - goes to its directional night pattern at monthly sunset time of KFBK in Sacramento 73, Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska EN21af

TP DX in Seattle March 13 |
|
Thursday, March 14 2019
This was my first TP DX session in many weeks and it was actually quite interesting. The usual low-band NHK stations were subpar as was HLCA-972, but some of the Chinese stations made up for it. The best DX was above 1300 today, with several Japanese commercial stations making respectable appearances, and VOA producing its best signal in a while. Even the 1602 NHK stations were trying to cut through the domestic splash.
693 JOAB 1400 time pips & talk poor in CBU splash 747 JOIB 1415 English lesson poor //828 756 CNR1 1401 male talk poor //891 774 JOUB 1405 English lesson poor //828 828 JOBB 1406 fair English lesson 850 KICY, 1401 pseudo sign-on announcement poor-fair mixing with KHHO 945 CNR1 1402 Chinese talk poor //981963 963 CRI 1408 woman in Russian fair 972 HLCA, 1359:40, fair woman with standard ID in Korean, KBS mentioned, then time pips
