I used to hear this on UT Saturdays back in the mid to late 1990's but I had forgotten about until I saw Glenn Hauser log it today.

** U S A. 1860-AM, UT Sunday Dec 8 at 0119 at first no signal, then WA0RCR
appears with some technical discussion, amid CW QRM. Had it taken a break?
ARRL/FCC lookup shows:
Jackson, Vernon C, WA0RCR
2109 Ebert Ln
Wentzville, MO 63385-4607
But this individual is allowed to funxion as a broadcaster on weekends. As per
QRZ.com lookup:

``Founded the "Gateway 160 Meter Net" on 1,860 KHz in May of 1979. The Gateway
160 Meter Radio Newsletter began during the net in July of 1979. It emphasizes
160 Meter activities and general concerns and news of interest to the Amateur
Radio community. The service is aired on Saturdays from 10:00 am Central until
3:30 am Central, Sunday morning.``

So it`s about time I updated the times for this in my DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS
list, http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

When on at night, the signal exhibits very little fading, since there is no CCI
unlike broadcast MW to cause subaudible heterodyning. I wonder how much power he
runs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Checking on my satellit 750 at 5:40 UTC I found it much as GH described it,amid lots of CW QRM.

I heard this station once during summer of 2012, and was surprised to hear this broadcast until I looked it up on the internet.  Had a readable signal here in the PNW.

Haven't heard him since, but then, I haven't tuned the 160 m band on Saturday nights since then, either.
