CHLO 530 AM Toronto 2314 UTC 17 DEC 2023
« on: December 17, 2023, 2319 UTC »
Well, ThaDood you were absolutely correct (*See WGR post just before this one.).  Picked up WGR again then turned dial down to night time 250 watt CHLO on 530 AM.  Received with good reception, English service with Subcontinent music.  Air miles about 400 from my qth.  :o

*ThaDood: Being heard in CT (meaning WGR - my edit), that must be some great GND conductivity, due to the rains, then cold.......I'll bet then, you could pull-in that near Toronto, ON station on 530kHz at 1kW. I, was able to hear that almost everywhere I could hear WGR. (Another very rainy Sunday here, too.)

2314 "Punjab" Kulwinder Billa
2333 "Tu Maane Ya Na Maane" Wadali Bandhu
2340 "O Mere Dil Ke Chain - Shankar Beats" Kishore Kumar, DJ Harshit Shah, & AjaxxCadel
2350 "Do Tara Wajda Ve Ranjhana" Amar Singh Shounki

COOL!!! THANKS, for the complements, and glad that my INFO helped. Yeah... One thing that CHLO 530 has going for them is their own FREQ. 530kHz was a very popular Carrier-Current FREQ, back in the day. Not so much in WNY and S. Ontario, with CHLO on-air. Thus, why I didn't use that FREQ, but instead used 600kHz, when I lived further east, and was away from Coudersport, PA's WFRM. In the winter months, that 1kW station had a big footprint as well. There's a station that you can try to get, WFRM 600AM.  https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?sr=Y&s=C&call=wfrm&nav=home 
Recently, a co-worker quizzed me on, "What would happen if you were to apply reverse polarity to the Energizer Bunny?". Having no idea, I asked, "What would happen?". The answer is he'd keep coming and coming and coming...

Thanks for the suggestion on WFRM but WICC in Bridgeport, CT is pretty robust here on 600 am.
