WTMA Charleston SC 1250

WTMA in Charleston, South Carolina, has a night time power of 1 kilowatt only and is not the most frequent guest on 1250 kHz. The signal of WTMA was noted several times at Lista in November 2009, however. Justin Tucker, Chief Engineer/MIS Director confirmed my audio recording of WTMA with an e-mail some weeks ago. [...]

WLIB New York NY 1190

WLIB in New York is easily heard on 1190 kHz, just as many other AM stations in New York City. Receiving a verification from the stations there are not always so easy, however. I have tried WLIB quite a number of times, all in vain untill some weeks ago when I received a friendly e-mail [...]

WNSS Syracuse NY 1260

WNSS was one of several stations heard on the frequency of 1260 kHz at the successfull DX-pedition to Lista in October 2008. WNSS, located in Syracuse, New York, was a sports station carrying ESPN and identifying as “ESPN Radio 12-60″ when we heard them. The ESPN programming was dropped in March 2010. The station still [...]

WNYY Ithaca NY 1470

1470 kHz is always an interesting frequency. WLAM in Maine is the dominant station on this channel, but once you get past them there are lots of opportunities to hear other stations. One of the stations which surfaced on 1470 kHz on the October 2008 DX-pedition to Lista was WNYY in Ithaca, New York. WNYY [...]

WFNN Erie PA 1330

WRCA in Watertown, Massachusetts, is by far the most commonly heard station on 1330 kHz. The second most common station is WFNN in Erie, Pennsylvania, which can be heard every now and then with Fox Sports programming. The station usually identifies simply as “The Fan”. Chales Lelievre at parent company Connoisseur Media confirmed my reception [...]

WGDJ Rensselaer NY 1300

At Lista in November 2009 we enjoyed good reception of many stations in New York State. One of the stations which was heard with a good signal throughout the DX-pedition was WGDJ licenced to Rensselaer, New York. WGDJ, a station which I had not heard at all untill this DX-pedition, was in fact the dominant [...]

WXXI Rochester NY 1370

WXXI in Rochester, New York, is the second most common station on the frequency of 1370 kHz at Lista. The trouble is that WDEA in Ellsworth, Maine, usually has such a powerful signal on 1370 kHz making it very hard for other stations to get through. In November 2009, WXXI faded up briefly late on [...]

WHKT Portsmouth VA 1650

Updates to this blog has been very rare lately. I discovered it is now nearly a year since my last blog posting. Well, there are times when DX-ing can’t be high on your list of priorities. 2010 has been such a year for me, hopefully 2011 will provide some more time for the radio hobby. [...]
