Title: WSOL San German, Puerto Rico? 1090 AM 2325 UTC 18 SEP 2023
Post by: Ct Yankee on September 19, 2023, 1735 UTC

So last night at about 2315 UTC, I turned on 1090 am to listen to the Raven pre-game show.  Much to my surprise there was a Spanish station as strong or stronger than WBAL.  This was about 20 minutes after sunset for me and 10 minutes for Baltimore.  I only had my radio at the time.

This morning while doing some online searching, I could only find WSOL in Puerto Rico in Spanish on that frequency on the east coast.  WSOL powers UP to 730 watts at sunset. Maybe grey line aided, running almost north/south now?  I couldn't check the stream last night, I might try again tonight if I get the chance.

If this is WSOL, the 1650 air miles would be my longest MW catch.

Good catch, IMHO, WSOL is the only likely candidate on that freq at that time.
There is a 50kw Mexican on 1090 but that station is in Baja and sends its power out to warm up the Pacific.  ;)
