Nothing came through on the recordings, not even a trace of carrier. Seems like they weren't on the air since the K index was low and these hours were entirely under night propagation conditions.

MW Loggings / KDKA 1020 AM (Pittsburgh) 1614 UTC 15 MAY 2024 - Pittsburgh Pirates
« Last post by Ct Yankee on Today at 16:28 »
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."

SDR recording catch, on from 0048-0208 UTC. Very tough copy with Cuba dominating most of the time, but occasional music drowned out Cuba.

General Radio Discussion / Re: Cleveland Ohio Toynbee Tile
« Last post by Ct Yankee on Today at 15:39 »
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.  🤦‍♂️

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?

Excellent. The extra frequency coverage will benefit some, but for me it will be interesting to see what other new features will be offered.

Good evening to you all. After my indoor reception of Radio VERONICA in Northern France, I had sent an e-mail attached with my reception report to this radiostation. I obtained several days later by e-mail the Q.S.L. card confirming my reception of Radio VERONICA on 5955 KHz. Good D.X. from B.L.
