WAMM 790 khz Mount Jackson VA 0158utc 22 Jan 2025

Solid signal despite cochannel interference. Bluegrass music, WAMM radio ID, matches up with web stream. Supposedly only 40 watts at night, 1 kw daytime. I can sometimes hear this one during the day here but right now is the best signal I've heard out of it at all.

Re: WAMM 790 khz Mount Jackson VA 0158utc 22 Jan 2025? How about WLSV?

You want a real tough-catch on 790kHz? Try WLSV, up in Wellsville, NY. Since the early 1990's, when the local stations up there consolidated, they've been a 24/7 Country Bumpkin format. They have nice daytime coverage, almost in to Buffalo and Rochester, and I've heard them almost all the way to Elmira, going East. However, when they upgraded to be on-air at night, they lower down to just 41 watts. I have yet to hear that in SW WV, but keep hearing ESPN Sport stations. https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?sr=Y&s=C&call=wlsv&nav=home  So, this will be a good-catch, for sure. HAPPY DX'ing!!!!
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
