Legendary Chicago call letters. Originally shared time on 870...and then 890 with WLS. Also WENR-TV was the original occupant of the ABC affilliate on channel 7, which is now WLS-TV

Eager to see if I get what I got briefly last week, test sweep tones at 1090 at the time of the test. Was WENR testing for the test? I don’t know. No ID to be had.
 
WENR 1090 DX test heard quite well here in Wood Dale, IL. Actually started few minutes early as I heard them at 10:56 pm CST allready in progress. Sweep tones, steady tone and code. Mixing with KAAY.
 
Not hearing them. I am just getting XEPRS and KFNQ mixing at 20 over. I went outside with the 909X and S-A-T and found KMXA Denver mixed with them too, but alas no WENR on either my 909 or the SDR in Kittitas...
They have been heard in Alberta, and much of the Midwest/East Coast. 50 minutes to go!
 
Just noted WYLL 1160 Chicago being off the air at 11:55 pm CST.

And there it is at 12:11 a.m. CT on the Sony ICF-2010, sweep tones and Morse code with KAAY nulled. Many thanks to the test producers and arrangers.
 
I'm receiving the WENR sweep noises and morse beeps here in south Mississippi when KAAY is nulled, however KAAY is still much stronger.
 
In the SW suburbs of Chicago:
3:37 a.m. CDT - WKNG 1060 Tallapoosa, Ga. running 5kW overnight - under KYW, matched to station stream.

4 a.m. - 1030 a Spanish-speaking outlet under strong WBZ. Definitely not WNVR, but no clue who.
 
Nothing in the San Diego, California area besides the Mightier 1090 XEPRS-AM from Tijuana, Mexico. Not surprising there at all. Too far away from Tennessee to hear anything on the West Coast from WENR-AM. Maybe another time!
 
A couple of new ones for me this morning between 6:00 and 6:30am CDT....

1100: WISS from Berlin, WI: Oldies trashing WTAM. Not sure if it was 1600 watts CH power or 2,500 watts daytime (both non-directional). I'm normally out of range of this one, but I normally have to drive about a half hour or so north of me to start hearing it. Distance from my home location is 125 miles.

1340: KICK Springfield, MO. Rose to the top just long enough for me to ID it. 456 miles.

Also, 1060: What sounded like gospel music over what was left of KYW. I was unable to ID it.

Radio was C Crane Skywave barefoot.

Your Spanish speaking station on 1030 was most likely WNOW Mint Hill, NC. Noted them earlier in the day with quite good signal. Also heard them several time in the past week or so mixing with WBZ.

Yesterday was a pretty good day as far as DXing was concerned. First had a new log in the form of WKNG on 1060 with "King Country" slogans and country music. Then the WENR test was heard quite easily. After hearing the DX test I decided to check out all the Chicago blowtorches just in case somebody was off the air before I went to bed. Was rewarded with WYLL being off the air so I decided to stick around for couple hours. Heard couple new ones on 1160: KCTO Cleveland, MO with Mexican music and WCVX Florence, KY with Christian Talk. KSL was fading in and out. There were couple other stations in the mix, but could not ID them. Finally earlier in the day while driving around at 1 pm CST I tuned to 1520 and heard a station that I have not logged before. WKVI Knox, IN with death notices and local programming. First I thought it was WLUV, which is common during daytime. WKVI is about 83 miles from my location, but somehow I never logged them.

I find with WKVI that once I drive south of the downtown buildings, it starts to come in albeit quite faintly. If there's any skywave at all though, usually WHOW, KRHW, etc will block them.
