"Extension 720" on WGN is still there, but is pre-empted by Blackhawks and Cubs games/post game shows. It is more frequent since WGN began broadcasting the hockey matches. However, Dr. Rosenberg's anti-Obama bias is becoming a bore. Richard Allen, a long-time WGN listener. - Original Mes

Not only that, but a few years ago, I tried to get some of my students interested in DX when we were studying the atmosphere. I had them listen at night to see what they could hear and where stations were located. Some of the more crafty ones figured out they could listen via the internet.

I guess this kinda brings up a question I'll pose to all listservers that I'm on -- do stations that stream their audio still QSL?  I mean, you could say you were at such and such a location listening on terrestrial radio, but any CE could counter with an assertion that you could be in Seattle

It sounds phonetically similar to WNPV, actually, although I don't think they use that wording. Their normal slogan is "InfoRadio". It almost sounds like the WHKZ "Fox New Radio" intro without the "Fox". Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id FM: Yamaha T-80 & Onkyo T-450RDS w/ AP

WFNY is one of the regulars here on 1440, so it was no surprise that the test came through well on my timed recording. The code was certainly very punchy... in fact, if it was on the ham bands, I'd be inclined to say they had "key clicks". :-) It's too bad for the folks out west that east-west
