MW Loggings / KDKA 1020 AM (Pittsburgh) 1614 UTC 15 MAY 2024 - Pittsburgh Pirates
« on: May 15, 2024, 1628 UTC »
Very good reception in Shaker Heights, OH during midday.  About 115 air miles from current qth.  H-501x using whip which is working better than ferrite bar (radio allows for antenna choice).

More surprising than a Class A station that can be heard over 100 miles away in the afternoon is the broadcast itself for me.  This is the Pittsburgh Pirate pre-game show.  KDKA AM has started carrying afternoon Pirate games within the past couple of years but certainly not within reception of New England.  I'm thinking the last direct reception of a Pirate game I heard on KDKA might have been 20-25 years ago.

1614 OM "You are listening to the Pittsburgh Pirates North Shore Tavern Pregame Show on KDKA 1020 AM"
1633 OM giving Brewers line up, then Buccos off to Chicago to play the Cubs
1709 OM ".......without the express written consent of Major League Baseball."
1711 OM "McCutchen robbed of one yesterday.  Here's the first pitch, ball one."

General Radio Discussion / Re: Cleveland Ohio Toynbee Tile
« on: May 15, 2024, 1539 UTC »
So, I am in Greater Cleveland visiting my older son and thought I'd update the status of the Toynbee Tile here.  I have learned there might be three - all on West Prospect/Prospect, though the latter two could be an imitator.  Though "HOH" on last 2 could be "House of Hades". Photos all taken May 15, 2024.

On a side note, there might have been a Toynbee Tile at an I-95 rest area in Branford, CT about 10 miles from my home but may have been paved over by State Highway crew.  🤦‍♂️

Prospect/E. 14 St. - most closely reflects Toynbee Tiles



Prospect/E. 4 St.



West Prospect/ W. 3 St.  Does not resemble myteaquinn post, a lot of construction/roadwork here for new Sherman-Williams HQ - maybe original paved over?

Welcome to the board, Hfungry.  Interesting catch, this is probably the station known as HM01 (Cuban Spy), scheduled to be on 10345 per databases at that hour.
