Title: 1720 KHz "The Big Q" 0509 UTC 12/23/2012
Post by: Kilokat7 on December 23, 2012, 0511 UTC

Just signed onto 1720 KHz, strong S7-S9 signal.

Many thanks to the Big Q for the kind "shout-out" over the air and audio QSL!!  You made my night!

Got them around 0520Z. About S6 or so with the loop going more or less E-W. It was a little above the noise and was able to make out music. Didn't hear an ID (but didn't listen long).

First time hearing someone on 1720.



_{Perseus SDR with Wellbrook ALA1530S+ loop}

Moved down to 1710 at 0523 UTC, tougher copy now.

EDIT: Has risen to fairly steady S7-S8 for a comfortable copy.  Nice selection of older Christmas music mixed in with oldies.

Hearing the Q well at my location. Also hearing it on Perseus receivers in Mass, Minn, NJ, Rochester NY and Quebec. Some strong others barely audible. Big signal tonight.

Congrats on the shout-out from the Big Q to Kilo ;D Also I really got a chuckle out of my voice over being used in this jingle. It was pulled from one of my older YT vids of this station at 2:18 in the vid. Thanks Big Q ;D 8)
