KGA is skipping into Seattle right now with a good signal and hiphop exactly as Bill described.  A pretty strange format for Spokane.  I wonder if it's for real or if they're "stunting" for a bigger change? KRKO is oldies and sports, but that actually makes sense in the cities north of

Geesh talk about an eclectic format.  Just a few minutes ago at 12 Noon PST, 16 January 2019, KGA switched its format to Sports and Hip Hop.  They are branding it has "103.5 The Game. Sports and Hip Hop."  I wonder how well it will go over in Spokane. At least they seem to be keeping their KGA

You could save some words and make your message simple by simply saying that no one is doing after the fact phasing. Lest anyone wonder why live phasing has a bit of support but after the fact phasing doesn't: it's because the former only requires the RF signals to be synchronized while the

Tim, You mentioned the beacon interference on 252.   Have you noticed there are two beacons that share the same identifier that easily fall within the passband when listening to Algeria?  Best I can deduce, one is MB on 254 from Manistee airport, and the other the same identifier, MB, on 257,

I haven't seen an answer so I will jump in. Digital phasing has the advantage that the phase shift is independent of hardware and perfectly linear across the MW band, Slight changes to ferrite permeability are not a problem when you do the phase shift with a simple transform. Recording 2

Hi Phil, On a whim I pulled out a CCradio 2E and was stunned to find near-LOCAL quality Russian talk on 1520! The signal nulls for me in a NNE direction (est. 345-350 deg. bearing) from Puyallup; that's actually *towards* Everett in general. I first heard Russian talk at 7:45pm PST, but now at
