WRMI Legends moving to 5050 kHz starting Monday
« on: February 11, 2023, 0311 UTC »
I am currently listening to WRMI Legends on 4980 kHz direct, decent reception. There was an announcement at 0306 UTC that WRMI Legends will be moving to 5050 kHz starting Monday. Good move, that should be free of the severe RTTY QRM on the current frequency and won’t block reception of Brazil on 4985 kHz.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

I caught a bit of it, heard some early 60's R&B and a live read ID for WRMI Legends.
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
QTH:  Durham, Connecticut (rural setting, 15 miles north of Long Island Sound)
