MW Loggings / 870 Weirdness 19 Nov 2013

« on: November 19, 2013, 2240 UTC »

At around 2210, I noticed a station on 870, but only the LSB was visible in the waterfall (or audible). They were playing bluegrass music. My guess was WPWT, TN based on the programming. But LSB only?

A few minutes later, they got buried by IBOC from 880.  Now hearing some talk radio on the 870 USB, maybe WWL, no ID yet.

Any guesses? I'll have to try again tomorrow.

WWCR!

They've moved from 6875 to 6115, so the mixing product with 13845 has also moved, from 6970 to 7730.

Just tuned in to hear some music and then into Dr Who theme. So... RGI or MAC Shortwave? I assume the latter, since AM.  Checking the SDR rec, sign on was 1852 with MAC IS, so there you go.
