FWIW, there is a station local to me on 1940/2 = 970, WNYM, Hackensack, NJ 50Kw Day/5Kw Night, Coordinates: 40.9111 / -74.0283
There is another station on 970 NNE from here in Southbridge, MA (WESO), 1K day/21 W Night, Coordinates: 42.0664 / -71.9911 SEE: http://mesamike.org/radio/cdbs/amdb.mvc Nowadays, most stations have no on-site transmitter engineers, only outside contractors, so the likelihood of technical issues occurring is great. p.s. In my checkered past, I was once an engineer at the Hackensack station 50 years ago. I can copy only a carrier on 1940 here, but too weak to analyze. My 160 antenna has been down for years. If anyone in the NYC metro area can tune in and advise that would be helpful. 73, Fred W2AAB On Thu, Jan 5, 2023 at 12:09 AM Frank W3LPL <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jim, > > No one has yet reported a strong enough signal to be sure if its a mixing > product or a harmonic.
