WEPN (NYC)/CHUM (Toronto) 1050 AM 0002 UTC 7 OCT 2026

Very good reception on both, WEPN on top.  My apologies for the late post, was not near computer when I received broadcasts.  I was listening to the Braves/Dodgers playoff game on NYC's secondary ESPN station when a background station kept getting stronger.  Shortly after 0000 UTC, both stations were about equal strength and pauses in action by one set of play by play announces allowed the other to come in remarkably well.  WEPN Class B 50,000 watts about 100 miles from my qth, CHUM Class B 50,000 watts 375 miles from me.  Ironically, there have been times I have purposefully sought out CHUM only to be overwhelmed by WEPN.  ::)

0002 WEPN: Play by play action of Dodgers/Braves Game 3, Dodgers lead 3-1
        CHUM: Commercial for Oct 16 Women Rugby 15s featuring England in Toronto
                   Return to play by play, Nylander scores for Leafs with assist by Matthews, Predators up 3-2


Jeez, if I remember correctly, this is the 60th anniversary season of the Leafs last Cup 😬
