I have mvoed, again. This time I am in Galena, Alaska. It's a village of 500 people about 300 miles west of Fairbanks and 300 miles east of Nome. I'm Program Director for Big River Public Broadcasting, Incorporated's "Community Radio For Alaska" KIYU. The AM is off but will be back on soon. We currently operate a network of about 8 low powered (100 watt class d) FM signals. We run some NPR programming but also oldies music and local or regional programming. I haven't had time to set up a long wire or other antenna yet but using my Sangean ATS909X up here, there's a HIGH level of electrical noise on the property.. we also have a few FM transmitters an a 10 watt low power digital tv transmitter.. all 20 feet above my head. I took my Sangean ATS909X to a piece of property across from the radio station about 4pm one afternoon and using just the whip, I tuned SW.. and also tuned AM (using just the ferrite bar type antenna in the radio). I heard NOTHING on AM, not even the 25kw of KNOM 780 or 50kw or KICY 850 or the 50kw of KJNP 1170. I did hear "Esta Es Radio Habana Cuba" on one of their 11mhz frequencies. I also heard China Radio International On the 11 or 13mhz bands and somewhere in the 17mhz. I didn't hear WWV or WWVH.
