Listening lounge was good this year! There are 3 MW broadcasters nearby, KYW
1060khz about .5 air miles from the fest site and WNTP 990 khz which is about
1-2 air miles from the fest site, and WFIL 560 khz about 1.5 air miles away.
Those other towers in the distance are the Roxborough antenna farm. FYI CRAIG

Subject: [Swlfest] Listening Lounge Feedback and Logs

Hello,
I am looking for feedback about the Listening Lounge. I am also
interested in what stations you were able to receive.
I may print out some basic instructions so people can sit down and
operate the radios better. Headphones may be useful to cut down
background noise.
The Wellbrook signal output is 'hot'. I have problems with several
nearby AM stations overloading some receivers. The situation is similar
at the Fest site with AM station towers a short distance away. I use a
MW Band-Reject Filter, which also worked at the Fest site. The noise
level seemed reasonable. I did not try for any DX, but there did seem to
be a good selection of stations on. There was Caribbean Beacon, a couple
of religious stations, and a couple of South Americans. In the Evening
there were a several stations on the 60M Band.
