BDM, good to have you back in action, and thanks for the tip!  Fair copy on this too in Western Michigan but with deep fades.

Occasional music just above my noise floor, oldies including The Beatles, Tom Jones, Barry Manilow and others.  Live DJ between songs with live time checks.  Finally identified through web receivers as "Community Radio Network" near 0200 UTC top of hour mentioning a bunch of other frequencies and even a telephone number.  Searching this forum for "Community Radio Network" will turn up some logs of mine from two years ago of this station on 1710.  Signed off at 0300 UTC with "Community Radio Network" ID and ended with the National Anthem.

Knowing where you're receiving these stations from would make these logs much more interesting, even a general location, a continent, something man...

Windy being received in Michigan right now, 0617z with clear "W" followed by rapid dits and other telemetry, maybe 50% copy here on the west DKAZ loop.

Drifting downward from 1711.6 during initial tune-in about 20 minutes ago.  News broadcast (TV?) audio just above the noise floor, occasionally good peaks.

23:20z: Has drifted down to 1711.0 now with man repeating "test...test...test" and what sounds like microphone taps.
23:23z: Off

Pretty good signal into West Michigan, S9+20 with some rapid but deep fades @ 0358z.  Thanks RH!

Off-air stereo recording of the entire show as heard here.

Longwave Loggings / 1118 UTC 19 Sept 2020: 530 "ADK" Aleutian Islands into Michigan

« on: September 20, 2020, 1358 UTC »

I stumbled onto ADK completely by accident yesterday morning while trying to identify a faint Trans-Pacific broadcast station on 531 when I noticed some code fading up on 531 & 529.  Turns out it was ADK.  I'm using a new DKAZ terminated loop @ 270° from West Michigan and the MW stuff it is pulling in is pretty nuts.  Here's the reception:

Poor with man talking just above the noise floor at 0050z and into music.  Guessing Radio Corsair but too weak understand any of the talk.

Checking out the top of the MW band and found music on 1710.  No ID yet but suspect Radio Corsair based on the spacey music.  S6 over moderate storm noise.

1720 is active right now, male speaking, some whistling heard.  Off at 0004 UTC and returned a few minutes later.  Barely above the noise floor here, unable to make out any speech.
