Given where that is at in the band i wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that isn't either spillover of shenanigans on 7200 or someone trying to jam them.

Haven't heard them in a while, station ID into talk show about off grid living. 50 db on the R-390A but several deep 20 to 30 db fades.

Music with Lucy FM 96.5 ID between songs. Fairly solid signal into SC PA, but lots of adjacent splatter from 860 and 840, and occasionally fading to another cochannel station.

For them that's actually fairly close to being on frequency, their old 5110 transmitter was often closer to 5109.80 most of the time i would tune in. Considering that most of the stuff is cobbled together out of military surplus and converted AM broadcast rigs, its not a surprise.

Down here in PA that's usually what 920 sounds like every night, CKNX is the dominant signal but fights against a Spanish station that I've yet to ID.

I heard that too last night, also noticed there was some repeating glitch in the audio that i kept hearing, then again given what was said about how trashed the transmitters there were it could've been the transmitter breaking down.

Hearing RWM time pulses underneath WWV on both 5000 and 10000 khz, the 9996 signal is coming through better of the 2.

General Radio Discussion / AFN on shortwave still exist?
« on: February 02, 2022, 0044 UTC »
Last time i heard them was back when Key West was still on the air, but i can't find any reference to the other remaining sites (Guam/Diego Garcia) being shut down, at the same time i can't find anything recent proving that anyone has heard them recently either

This station is diplexed with WHGG 1090, another 10 kw daytimer. On a hunch i tuned up there and found them (presumably, based on the Love FM ID) battling it out with WBAL.

Hearing this same station right now, apparently playing the same songs on a loop or something like that, because they just finished Eye of the Tiger and went right into Danger Zone.
