Just moved to Chesapeake VA from the Outer Banks. There is a station on 580 khz playing Christmas music. The weeks prior country. Starts popping up around 1500 EST. ID's as "WBDH Chesapeake AM stereo 580 a Kahn Independent Sideband station." It is getting out quite far--from the Virginia Beach-Chesapeake border to at least the Greenbriar area to the north and Hickory to the south. Anyone else in the region hearing this or know of it? Some Google searches make reference to it being on 1570 khz on the past.

Hey Obxruss,
Great catch, never heard of them before. I kind of doubt I'd copy it here : I have a local flamethrower on 590 and a regional on 580.
I don't think in ALL my many years of doing this that I have heard a report from 580 +/-.
Obviously an efficient antenna that low would be a BIG issue.
Also " interesting " re even the mere mention of of Kahn.
Again , great catch,
NQC

Hearing music (Tommy Dorsey) now on 580AM in southern Chesapeake. Have it at S9 with no additional filters. Thanks for the heads up on this frequency! :D
