In Brooklyn apartment with modified IC-R75 and 20' wire strung around my living room:
Last night conditions here in Brooklyn were really bad - I think there were electrical storms out there, I actually heard some thunder here late in the evening and the local blasters also seemed to be splashing everywhere for some reason. I checked 1140 a few times during the evening to see if I could snag WRVA and it was very rough going. Finally around 2 AM I managed to get something that was sometimes audible between the splashes from WBBR on 1130 and I heard '1140 Fox News Radio' - which is what WRVA call themselves. I was too tired to sit on it any more and see if I could get the call letters, so it's not in the log. (I am going to put this up in a report) Any one else out there find Sat night, 10/22, to be very poor??? For those who aren't familiar with it: Great link for BCB DX detective work: http://www.findradio.us - you can put in a frequency and a distance range from your location and get back all the candidates. I don't rely on that only for an ID, but it gives me an idea of what I might be dealing with and how much effort it is worth to sit on something, etc. And they link to a map with satellite pictures too. ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- World Radio TV Handbook 2005 is out.
