I found this and thought it might be helpful in identifying a station suspected to carry CBS Radio News. You con't search by frequency, rather by state.. but it's a start. Disclaimer: I don't know how accurate/up to date the list is:

[IRCA] Poor BOG reception

2013-05-08 Thread Mark Durenberger Mobile
Upon arrival in the Pawnee National Grasslands (NE Colorado) Monday, we laid out 1100 feet of BOG; mostly East-West, on dry ground. The wire did its predicted job of squelching stuff from the sides (for example: flamethrower KOA was down in the mud to the point you could hear a co-channel

Wonder if anyone else had unusual noise problems Monday night...or if it was caused by the many gas-well/fracking operations going on nearby. North Auroral Zone extends down to most of the northern US. That may have provided some noise. It's much further down than usual.

Just doing a quickie spot-check I discovered one inaccuracy... there's a flag that's clearly in northeastern Oklahoma, but when you click on it they show it as KCTE-1510 Kansas City MO... like Paul I'm in no position to vouch for the rest of it, though I can confirm that KTXR-101.3 carries the

Things are looking up, hi. Two RR longwave stations with pips on the hour at 1200UT this morning, 279 and 153, with 279 the stronger, but neither with much pep. Interesting that these show up without even any carriers on the low MW band Asiatic big guns. Presumed Tahiti showed up on 738

One problem we have had at the LBI DXpeditions has been excessive pickup of electrical noise on the BOGs, which are at least 50' from the nearest power line or transformer. We investigated by taking a portable out onto the beach and beyond where the BOG's were. We found that the noise field was

What kind of noise was it? Perhaps your BOG was aimed into a big T storm cell a few hundred miles away, although I don't recall any. It's always a good idea to check on the car rx or to have a portable along to see if they have the same issues with noise as your DXped antenna. With my western

It wasn't the transient kind of noise one expects from nature but rather a broad and steady high noise floor. There are a good number of gas processing plants and even some fracking going on up there but nothing nearby. Kaz you have an SDR so you'll appreciate the noise floor was in the 70's
