AM Frequency of the Week - 750 kHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What do you all get on 750 AM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is just WJR splatter during the day and WSB at night with some WJR splatter depending on WSB signal strength.
 
750 days is a weak KXTG Portland OR (Sports) in Yakima. Sunset KERR Polson MT booms in with country. They've been that way for years, even in Western WA.

Nights it's KXTG and a mix of others. CKJH Melfort, SK is common with oldies, KOAL Price, UT with news/talk, and KHWG Fallon, NV always is on day power at night with classic C/W. I've tried for KFQD and WSB for years but not even AK makes it. I have heard KTKN, KINY and KTZN from AK however.

Far northwest suburbs of Chicago.......

Days: WNDZ, Portage IN, (about 30-40 miles southeast of Chicago) comes in with a fair-to-good signal and a little splatter from WBBM's IBOC noisemaker.

Nights: WNDZ goes off, leaving pretty much all WSB, despite strong adjacent signals from CFZM and WJR.
 
Near north Chicago suburbs it's a fairly strong WNDZ during the day with a fairly strong WSB at night. Sometimes a South American (can't remember if it's Venezuela or Colombia) will be underneath WSB.
 
Here in Cincinnati,I've only received WSB. Nothing days.

It is a neglected frequency, plus I have a local on 740 with a strong day lobe directed towards my location which is single digit miles away from their transmitter.
 
Same here in Columbus as Cincinnati. We're too far south for any WJR splatter, but back in the days when WJR ran IBOC, hiss was clearly audible on 750 and 770.
 
In the Chicagoland/NW Indiana area, I get WNDZ during the day, & when WNDZ signs off at Atlanta sunset (or local sunset, not sure which), I get WSB Atlanta.
 
In Cedar Rapids, IA, daytime it's WNDZ, Portage, IN (usually weak, sometimes inaudible). Nighttime, it's all WSB.

Interestingly, a few weeks ago during the daytime, I heard something that I thought might be KMMJ in Grand Island, NE (about 400 miles). If I remember correctly, it sounded like ag-related programming. That sounds like KMMJ some time ago, but I think now it carries Christian programming. WNDZ, as far as I know, carries brokered/ethnic programming, mostly or entirely in languages other than English. So I'm still wondering what I heard, but thinking it could have been KMMJ.
 
Haven't heard a peep out of KHWG in Salt Lake City for about a month. KOAL came in well a couple of mornings, though.
 
Knoxville, TN area, very weak WSB days but local 760 splatter usually buries it. At night WSB and the occasional Latin American

Not bad for WSB to make it that far considering its horrid daytime reach!

As the crow flies, its only about 210 from WSB's antenna to Knoxville, depending on what side of Knoxville he's on. Doing some DXing on my car radios, WSB is barely audible in the 180-220 mile range. I've received the daytime signal as far north as the Nashville and Knoxville suburbs, as far south as the GA-FL State line, as far east as the outskirts of Charlotte, and as far west as Western AL, a few miles shy of othe MS border. With the poor ground conductivity in much of the South, WSB, as well as the other southern blowtorches are going to be far noisier than the Midwestern counterparts are going to be at a similar distance.

Even with WLW, there is a noticeable difference in it's daytime signal to the north and NW of Cincinnati, where the ground conductivity is super vs the signal to the south where the conductivity is much poorer.
 
In my travels, I used to get a useable day signal from WSB about as far west Birmingham, AL on a good car radio. From there, I could keep the signal pretty much all the way to Nashville, on I-65. But going south, after about 40-50 miles or so, WSB would get swallowed up the splatter from the local 740 in Montgomery.
