The past few days have me thinking they've either improved their antenna system or added an power amp.

Andre, we don't even know the name of the station let alone it's address! It has no IDs although when it first started, it announced the 1920s Radio Network but I have not heard that in a while. We call it the Old Time Radio (OTR) station because that is what it airs.  It is a mystery!

The station I heard never ID'd, but the programming is consistent with "Old Time Radio" On Nov. 23rd, I listened to an   old radio show called "Challenge of the Yukon" ? ...with the main character named Steve,  who is a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman. Set during the gold rush, the action of the story revolves around Steve tracking down a murderer on the run named Bill Andrews..."he's not in jail...broke out last night."  "I didn't think he was a killer...maybe I was wrong."  "This time he'll hang for sure." etc. The location of the story is in a place called Whitehorse, where the murderer is hiding out in an abandoned cabin. The murdered eventually confesses, Steve gets his man, and all is good...then: "more in just a moment" followed by a Quaker Oats advertisement and a promo for next weeks "adventure" The show ends at 2156 UTC.

The signal was very strong throughout most of the broadcast, with some minor static crashes and occasional QRM. SINPO was about 54444. Overall, the quality was very good and the show was easy to listen to.  My receiver is a Kenwood TS-2000 and I have a dipole antenna. QSL via: WSSM, P.O. Box 6833, Scarborough, ME 04074
