S9+10 with the Raleigh, NC KiwiSDR. Guess I can give up all hope of hearing Radio Brazil Central on 4985 :-\
0019 UTC-Weather for various regions read by YL
0020 UTC-WRMI Legends ID, we really play requests
WRMI is moving back to 4980 and WTWW is coming back on air.. so ill be on 7570, 4980 and 5900
Looks like this must be correct, but no sign of anything on 5085 yet. I will keep looking.
-
00:59 UTC - An S7 ~ S9 and noisy signal on 4980 with WRMI station ID. Nothing on 5085 either to my location.
WWCR 3 on 4840 is doing much better at S+10.

I wonder what region they'll claim their broadcasts target? The Moon?
-
On the WTWW website it says transmitter two (5085) was to Europe, Russia, & China. Yea right ::)
EiBi lists WRMI on 4980 as targeting Central America.
-
Oh, Detroit, Windsor, and Chicago.

Yea right might be right. One antenna is aimed to Europe, Russia, & China and I should be right in the main lobe, mind you, it might be skipping right over me depending on the antenna's tilt angle. If it is the one that I have seen in one of the pictures, the angle of the V portion at the feed point is fairly narrow so the beam width will be narrow.
From one of the videos I watched, it appears that transmitter 4 (9940 kHz) might be aimed toward Ukraine. I also found that Transmitter 2 (5085) is a Continental. These were good quality transmitters. I could not determine the antennae for transmitters 1, 2 and 3.
Based on several years of satellite imaging I was able to partially piece some of the WTWW facility. The image below is from 2014 and was one of the clearer ones depicting the poles, some of the wires and buildings.
> The yellow lines are the feeder lines leaving the transmitter building which I could make out from the shadows on the ground.
> The red lines are the potential antennae lines which I could make out from the shadows on the ground.
> The Magenta squares are poles which I could not see any lines going to and from.
> The purple line is what I suspect is an AC power line leading to some buildings in the woods.
> The green rectangles are the UNID buildings in the woods.
> The orange square is an UNID structure.
