This is a special live broadcast of the Easter Vigil Mass presided over by Pope Francis in Latin with Portuguese coverage.  The Mass is from the Vatican Basilica. This is one of several broadcasts occurring now (7315 Chinese, 7360 English, 9705 French, 9800 Arabic) but the only one I can receive.  Undoubtedly, this will be on for hours as this is a lengthy mass. 

1840 Mass in Latin with chanting priest with description/translation of mass in Portuguese on 11630.  Excellent reception.
1853 Pope speaking, just started receiving French commentary broadcast of Vigil Mass on 9705, fair reception.
1902 Arabic commentary broadcast on 9800 now being received, singing delivery of Exodus.  Good reception.
2015 Mass now heard on 7360 with English commentary.  Fair reception.

MW Loggings / DXing Baseball April 19-20, 2019, 2018
« on: April 19, 2019, 2318 UTC »
So, with the odd start of this baseball season, many Friday day games or teams off on Fridays, this turns out to be the first Friday to DX baseball.  Tonight, many clubs that I can receive are playing clubs that I can't receive which increases the potential number of games I can DX. The Cubs played a day games, there are NBA & NHL playoffs which may take precedence in some markets, and we are due for heavy rain on the east coast which might impact reception and whether the game is played (two games already rained out by 2000z).  With 2 rain outs and a day game, I may just DX whatever baseball I can receive including the minors. 

2309 960am  WELI New Haven, CT  Royals/Yanks "Well Suzyn I thank you, good evening everyone.  CC's first pitch is a strike.  No score as we just get started". Excellent reception - Yankee affiliate

2325 1080am WTIC Hartford, CT Red Sox/Rays "The batter is now Garcia.  They call him Minnie Mickey since he was with Tigers.  He's from Venezuela.  One out runners at first and second, no score in the bottom of the first."  Excellent reception.  Red Sox affiliate.

2332  1500am WFED Washington, DC Nats/Marlins "and the count 2 balls and 2 strikes.  he can hit it out to any part of the ballpark.  Swing and a miss for the third out.  After one inning, Washington 1, Miami nothing". Excellent reception.  Nationals flagship.

Mets flagship.  Excellent reception.

0031 620am WVMT Burlington, VT Royals/Yanks "So the play goes 5-3, the Yanks have 1 run on 1 hit in the inning with the homer.  After 5 innings, 3-1 Yanks.  ID Your voice in Burlington and Plattsburgh WVMT". Yanks affiliate.  Excellent reception.

0043 1230am WCMC Wildwood, NJ  Phils/Rockies "that's the second strike to Kingery.  Now strike three and there is one down.  No score, top of the first.  Harper singles through short and there are runners on the corners.  Hoskins singles to left and the Phils go up 1-0."  Phillies affiliate.  Good reception

Huh? / Obligatory Golf Joke For the Masters
« on: April 13, 2019, 1543 UTC »
I'm not a fan of the sport, the closest I have come to playing was a gym elective at a northern New England college.  We played the entire semester indoors as there was snow into May.  But I like the joke.

Golfer 1: (Rumble of thunder overhead) "If lightning comes, we should duck under that tall tree over there"
Golfer 2: "No, no, no.  Tall trees are prone to lightning strikes, that's dangerous."
Golfer 1: "OK then, what's your idea?"
Golfer 2: "We each pull out our 1 irons and hold them over our heads."
Golfer 1: "You are kidding, right?"
Golfer 2: "No, no.  I've been doing it for forty years, never been hit.  My father and grandfather did likewise before me, none of us has ever been it by lightning.  You see, not even the Good Lord can hit a 1 iron."

General Radio Discussion / Entercom/NY Mets shutter radio network
« on: April 03, 2019, 2132 UTC »


So, I went to turn on WAVZ 1300am (New Haven) while at work March 28 to listen to the NY Mets Opening Day Broadcast, much to my surprise there was syndicated ESPN programming on this long time Mets' affiliate.  As there was no news about it, website or otherwise, I thought it was a programming glitch.

Indeed no, the Mets switch to WCBS 880 am as their flagship, an Entercom station, resulted in the termination of all radio affiliates.  Truly perplexing as the Yankees flagship is WFAN, also an Entercom station, and they have close to two dozen affiliates.  Both stations are 50,000 watt Class A broadcasters.
