The station that received the QSL is WNBH-1340 in New Bedford, MA. The
report came from Finland. There have been a few reports from Scandinavia in
the past few years.
WNBH is a bit of an anomoly in that it has a tall tower, yet puts the full
kilowatt into in. No power cutback to make it an

There was an AM not far from me at WABV, that was on a Class C Channel and
supposedly had a 5/8 wave tower.. and put the full 1KW into the tower.
Glad we could try and help!

I missed this thread in the beginning. Did any of us help with the ID? (I'm

I don't think we were able to hear anything out of it, at least we tried.
It's not WNBH as far as we can tell.
It's not WNBS, as that is in Murray Kentucky and Newport is 5 hours away.

From: Paul B. Walker,
Steve,
I will try an answer your question from a broadcasters point of view. I have
a general understanding of RF and FCC stuff.
When you see a station's licensed power listed, it is almost always for a
1/4 wave tower. When I was at WQMA 1520, our tower was 150 feet which is 1/4
wave for 1520
I didn't include Ocala since they're still in the FCC database as
DWCFI, which often means
the FCC is making them stand in the corner, but hasn't actually
carried out the death sentence yet!

This morning was sort of typical of somewhat disturbed conditions
here. Levels were down and, in general, the JJs were doing better
thaqn the mainland stations. About 2/3 of the lower band had at least
some audio on it, but things above 1100 were pretty sparse: 5 with
audio early, joined by 8
WCFI is quite dead, the towers have been gone for over 3 years bery dead
I'd say ;=)

Hi Paul,
Thanks very much; I understand it now. It has all to do with the rules and
nothing to do with actual RF transmission and antennas. So that example that
was cited was getting more coverage than it was licensed for, apparently,
since it used a taller tower without reducing its power. I
That station wasn't getting more coverage then it was licensed for, exactly.
WNBH 1340 is right near the water in New Bedford and where Craig heard it in
Maine was near the water.. and obviously AM travels amazingly well over
water.
I heard all of the New York Ams almost clear as day in Dover,

I'm finding that having a decent receiver makes a huge difference in the lower
bands. I used to be able to hear next to nothing except the usual culprits
below 630. Bob Pietsch's radio has changed all that.
