Hey;
I was at the dials a bit, last night and my mystery Eastern station

Rocky 1420 WKSR is an interesting station, kinda rock-ish music, last i

They have a website at http://www.wksr.com/ and if you click on Listen Now,
you can hear both stations live, and as

Right on about WKSR. They mentioned their AM could be heard crystal
clear in digital on WKSR-FM 98.3 HD. I forgot to add that to my
report. I never heard any Rocky liners but I did hear that bit of
imaging.
I'll keep trying for WPBS with an ID or something to count it.

Hello All,
The high band and mid-band TP's continued in the doldrums here, but there
were some interesting signals on the low band.
At 1427 a strong co-channel was mixing with JOAK-594, apparently the same
one that John and others heard recently. There was KBS-type music being
played,
Listened from 1350 for about an hour, and conditions continue bitty, with
very little in the way of consistent signal strength, and no really big signals
either, just lots of hard work digging in the splatter. Upper band was
incrementally a little better than the last two days, but still not
Sorry that I didn't report yesterday: it was just so depressing! I
worked on my attitude overnight and, sure enough, things were
improved quite a bit this morning!
The lower band was at least at some point between 1400 and
1500... about 80% full of audio... up markedly from yesterday,
I agree with both Walt and Colin. Not too good for DX but great in
noisy offices and on airplanes.
Walgreen's has Coby bargain brand noise cancelling headphones for $20
(USD). I got mine for $5. :) A clerk had apparently mismarked the
rack where the headphones were, as 75% off clearance. I
The Coby ones do have an on-off switch, for the noise cancellation

I'm impressed by Able Planet's Clear Harmony product:

If you have good high end cx to WA, KRPI's Indian (Punjab) stuff will stick
out like a sore thumb on 1550.

That sounds like Seattle on 1680 to me. Hopefully during the next 3 days,
