Title: KCJJ 1630 khz 0959 UTC 28 Aug 2019
Post by: Matt_B on August 28, 2019, 1015 UTC

Here's a new one for me...KCJJ out of Iowa City, IA (via Elida, OH).

A quick look at Wikipedia tells me that this station transmits with ten thousand watts during the day, and one thousand watts at night.  The city of Elida OH is apparently four hundred and twenty-eight miles from Iowa City. 

Oh, and one more thing...the station was playing The B-52's when I caught it....epic cool!! :)

"The Mighty 1630",  big signal in here most nights.
Can occasionally get WRDW in GA in the null of KCJJ.
If the skip is right, KRND from WY with a MEX format
will stomp on the IA station.

KCJJ with a big signal in here this morning about 1 1/2 hr before sunrise,
on the car radio... sounded like a local.
