Maybe I need to check the high end of the band as I haven't had much luck on the lower end. Even KNX usually an easy catch on the Oahu rig wasn't up to standards last night.

Wow in Carmichael
I got 1630 XEUT on my Sony ICF-P26 playing like DJ Music from Tijuana, Baja California at like before 10
It's matched the Stream
But, the TOH is in Spanish

Checking out the Key West, Fl SDR tonight yielded some interesting surprises. Several of the Chicago blowtorches were in loud.
WBBM & WGN strong. The big surprise to me was WLS also strong and in the clear. No Cuba interference. No WSCR though and WMVP was weak with competition, but there. Other midwest stations in well were KMOX, WHAS, & WLW very strong. Nothing from the northeast could be heard when I listened. I've noticed this before that when there is a DX pipeline to South Florida or the Caribbean from the midwest the NE isn't there and the reverse seems to be true as well.
This was all around 0630 UTC on Jan 17.

WGN also makes it to the Haida Gwaii receiver, just off the southern coast of Alaska.
Conditions to the east better than usual this evening... tentative WJR 760 E-W with Bill Cunningham (no KFMB or CFLD, just flutter N-S in the KTTH splash), WCCO 830 with spots and IDs, KFAB 1110 nearly S3-S4 under KBND, CBK 540 in a local levels (haven't had that in a long time), and KSTP 1500 coming in really strong on my PR-D5 at S4 with some fading (usually its weak and grainy).
Earlier catches were with my Sony SRF-59 and Select-A-Tenna loop.

Not here.
Early Monday morning on the Prince George receiver KFIR was strong over WGN. It seems that on Monday mornings KFIR doesn't power down and uses the full 10K as I've heard them on the Hawaii SDR.
I hadn't been on the Key West receiver for quite a while, so last night around 0330 UTC, I decided stopping by for a half hour after overdosing on football for six hours would be a good idea. And indeed it was. WGN and WBBM blasting in. WMVP also in, but with a signal that was only fair, at best. No sign of XEOY. On next week's FOTW, 530, R. Enciclopedia was there with a strong signal, and no R. Rebelde underneath (but there was a very noticeable loud hum). My surprise was WWL on 870. Key West is right in their null, but this was a good signal with no trace of R. Reloj underneath. Maybe they had the DA shut down. Also I heard WTAM on this receiver for the first time. I'd expect that one to be pretty easy....so maybe I've just overlooked it. Finally a relatively strong music station on 560 blowing out WQAM. At first I thought it was R. Progreso, but it didn't match their programming elsewhere on the dial. Nor did it match R. Rebelde. So I'm guessing that it probably wasn't Cuba. Any other ideas?
I forgot to mention WWL. I also heard them on Key West Saturday night. Not great, but they were there. Did you hear WLS? They were strong too which surprised me. Maybe Cuba was off when I listened.
Did not hear WLS. Cuba was all over 890. I have heard WLS break through before on the Key West SDR, however.
I just love the Bedford, UK SDR
I listen to Greatest Hits Radio on 1170 AM, I don't know where is that from

Cuba must have been off the air when I tuned in Saturday night because WLS was totally in the clear on Key West.
I checked out the Bloomington, IL SDR earlier this evening (0320 UTC). A relatively new addition to the SDR lineup in the geographic center of Illinois. Seems line a nice option for AMDX. Pretty much noise free. The highlight of my brief "test drive" was 680. CJOB mixing with WPTF underneath. I'd describe that pair as a rather unexpected "odd couple".
When there is not too much WSCR splatter if I turn my radio one way I hear CJOB, the other way WPTF.
I like it when I listen to the Bedford, UK SDR I hear alot of Music on AM, Not so in the U.S
I got Greatest Hits Radio on 1170 AM & Smooth UK on 1170 aslo
But, I don't know where they are
It's not like I could go on Radio-Locator to look it up

MWList is a great resource for worldwide MW listings. Greatest Hits Radio could be from Swansea, Stockton-on-Tees or Stoke-on-Trent. Smooth Radio is in Ipswich and Portsmouth. All transmitters are 580 watts or less.
I've found the Arctic SDRs to be sub-par this year, but the Iceland ones have generally been OK. Maybe the Arctic ones have had antenna issues? At any rate, I checked the Arctic one last night around midnight CST and found the conditions excellent. Lots of the "10" frequencies had good signals on them. KOMO-1000 and CFRN-1260 were among those noted during my quick tune-around.
