No-no on WFED 1500am 0035 UTC 31 August 2016

This station should be blanketing much of the eastern US, excellent reception here.  After five innings, Max Scherzer has only allowed a walk to the Phillies.

0040z OM "3-0 Nationals top of 6th."
0043z I guess it's bad luck to write about it.  OM "and it's gonna get down and Scherzer allows his first hit"

I just read this for the first time.  I'm late, oops!  When I saw 'no-no', I figured somebody swore on air or something.  Wrong kind of no-no, I guess!  :)

This is one station that is absolutely impossible for me to get. I have a local 50kW station (KSTP) with a night pattern to the west (and I'm west of 'em). I've tried to null, but just can't effectively do it.

Chanter, can you get WFED? From what I've heard, when KSTP switches to the night pattern, very little in WI can get their signal (which has upset listeners over in WI for many years, especially when they weren't all sports, all the time).

I am late late laaaaate responding to this, but I literally *just* spotted it.  Sorry about that!  As for this station, nope, I've never managed it.  Depending on the receiver I use, I get either a muddle of different stations or splash from a local on 1480 that I swear is cheating to a ridiculous degree...
