CKDM 730 AM 0505 UTC 15 Feb. 2021
« on: February 16, 2021, 0126 UTC »
With CHMJ in Vancouver, B.C., nulled as best I could, I heard country music with a male singer, then at 0506 UTC was “Yeah Boy” by Kelsea Ballerini, which matched what 730 kHz was playing via an SDR in Winnipeg, followed by a promo ID, and then “You’re Out of Touch” by Hall & Oates as the signal faded. The signal rose again around 0515 UTC as “Walls Come Down” by Meghan Patrick played.

CKDM in Dauphin, Manitoba, runs 5 kW at night; distance from me is 1,005 miles.

They got a nice signal in here tonight, nearly 1000 miles away, that 5kw doing a good job.
Nice to listen to a station that IDs a lot.

Have to null 50kw CKAC Montreal also on 730 and much closer to me but their signal
is mostly beamed away from me to the northeast.

Also a Fox Sports Radio station in the mix but unable to get an ID.
Das Radiobunker somewhere in Michigan

That part of the band was doing well Sunday evening, as I then turned to 720 kHz and found WGN coming in about as well as I've ever heard it. 720 can be tough, as KIRO in Seattle splashes over quite a bit at times with its 50-kW transmitter just 40 miles southwest of me.
