It wasn't as good a morning as yesterday, and I missed the Puget Sound effect that delivered DX to Bruce around 1430UT. However the lower band did fairly well between 1300 and 1400UT. I realize some regulars didn't make the list here, but I've started ignoring them unless they really

I meant to reply a couple weeks ago during the "KXEL petition" thread, but since this article about WLW has now become a topic of discussion, here's my opportunity to air out my feelings about the band and the hobby. I guess I am one of those remaining few left who believe in AM radio.

Re: [IRCA] "Decoding" AM Authorizations

You've got the right idea. The first number is day power and the second is night power. ND is nondirectional. DA-1 is the same pattern day and night. DA-2 is different patterns day and night. DA-3 is different patterns day, night and critical hours. The most common directional is DA-2. Sent

[IRCA] "Decoding" AM Authorizations

Forgive me fellow DX’ers, for I have sinned. Despite AM DXing for several years now, I confess that I’ve never quite learned how to decipher the FCC database’s designations for AM authorizations. For instance, tonight i’m listening to 1550 AM a lot. I notice that WAZX 1550 in Smyrna, GA is

Re: [IRCA] An Unhappy Birthday For WLW-AM

Although I think this is a shame. However, this has been going on since the 1970s where more and more stations are allowed on clear channel frequencies and the long distance reception is getting harder and harder. This is no surprise. The FCC is changing the whole spectrum. They are repacking

Re: [IRCA] An Unhappy Birthday For WLW-AM

The AM band is unsuited for a number of things which various bureaucrats or other outsiders have proposed. I think that's probably the primary reason I don't expect it to go away very soon. I suspect that when it does, it will simply die out naturally because of its various limitations coupled
