KFAN ??
« on: March 15, 2019, 0049 UTC »
1700 khz Minnesota Gophers  and Penn State Nittany Lions basketball game @ 0040 UTC, Big Ten tournament on the Sangean portable.   Problem is KFAN in Rochester, MN broadcasts on 1270 and KTLK in Minneapolis MN airs on 1130.  Not sure what this is and my WRTH is unavailable.   Okay but not great signal, too many thunderstorms around.

Check out KBGG AM 1700 "The Champ" Des Moines IA.
Can barely hear them here, too much T-storm static.

I thought about that but why would an Iowa station broadcast a Minnesota ball game.....they don't even like each other (understandably).   :)
