It has been a November to remember. We had a month of almost solid rain
wind. Wind gusts of over 100 MPH, flooding all over the NW, trees
down, then a deep freeze for a couple days. Astoria got 20.07 of rain,
more than twice the average. It has been something else. Now I hear the

Aha, that could explain why WBZ is shutting down its IBOC at 1900,

As a one-time resident of VHFS, I can confirm that it was shut
down and believe the FAA was supposed to buy a large chunk
of the place. Funny you should mention AP Hill, Vint Hill residents
played games there way back in the late 40's...

Still clearly audible during the day hours @ 1300 in Lansdale , PM.
Fighting it out on car radio with WIBG, but easily brought into the
clear in the house on the R75 with Terk AM Advantage by nulling WIBG.
It looks like the UNID toner is still at about 107 degrees
WHOW is indeed off the air, WLUV near Rockford is all alone on 1520 from
here. Normally WHOW is clearly audible during the daytime.

I do WHOW, although WLUV is quite dominant.

instead of using compass angles from your location use the deviation angle

are very accurate. Get a null on a big power house and then retune and

You gave the apparent azimuth as 107 which goes out into the
Atlantic . . .
And you said it was 25 degrees south of (meaning, I suspect,
clockwise from) WIBG. Since WIBG is 154 degrees from you,
I added 25 onto that number to get 179. So I then used 179 for
the azimuth.[ Bet you

Hi everyone,
Well, my antenna repair turned out to be simple. I am glad. Digging up
the coax in 37 degrees and damp would not have been fun. With the coax,
I have replaced sections of it through the years and I have connections
in a couple of places with barrels. Apparently with the cold temps,
At 1542 EST I have the tone station back on, on 1610. The difference is
that there is not any tone. Just an open carrier.

Come to think of it, polar projection may only give straight lines for one
point of origin, and not all points on the map.

I think that only an azimuthal equidistant projection (and therefore
centered on only one location) would give straight lines to any reporter's
location. Polar - per se - wouldn't do the trick.
So maybe Jim took a reasonable guess as to that location, did an az equi and
any resulting errors are

KDKA is stronger than this tone and I think the tone is likely 10 KW.

If you use a compass, remember with a compass to add-subtract the
difference between true north and magnetic north. I know in my area
this means adding about 12 degrees to the compass reading.

Sorry I did not explain better. What I should have said, the center
conductor pulled away from the barrel connecting the two pices of RG6
together. I don't think the center conductor was long enough anyway. But
it is fixed now. Works great.
