10 kHz AM Frequency of the Week - 570 kHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What can you all get on 570 AM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is a solid WKBN/Youngstown, OH during the day and at night with R. Reloj from Cuba underneath. Sometimes Cuba will take over and bury WKBN especially during any level of aurora conditions.
 
Daytime and night - KVI Seattle (News/Talk).

I have also been able to receive KCHJ Alturas, CA (mostly sunset), KNRS Salt Lake City (News/Talk), CKWL Williams Lake, BC (Country) and KLAC Los Angeles (Sports) on 570 over the years.

In eastern Iowa:
Daytime, WNAX Yankton, SD.
Nighttime, it's hard to say -- usually a faint WNAX, sometimes Radio Reloj. There are sometimes traces of other signals I don't think I've ever been able to ID. What do other folks around the Midwest hear at night on 570?

Before WTCM moved to 580 and increased it's power from 2500 to 50000 watts daytime in four steps, you used to be able to hear WMAM quite well in Western Michigan in the daytime. The World Radio and Television Handbook only showed stations in the US with 1000 watts or more, and I had to go to the library to see The Broadcasting Yearbook to see all stations, so at first I was puzzled to hear this 250 watt nondirectional daytime "powerhouse".
 
In northern VA, I get WSPZ Bethesda, MD (A DC suburb) with sports talk on days.
Sunrise time, I sometimes hear WKBN Youngstown, OH underneath.
Nights, it's WSPZ, WKBN and Radio Reloj ticks and Morse code signals.
 
Far northwest suburban Chicago....

Day: WIND splatter
Night: Usually WKYX (or whatever Paducah calls itself) on top. Sometimes WKBN or R. Reloj.

WMAM? They have a pretty good daytime signal. I usually can get them on I-43 going south almost all the way to Milwaukee. Well over 125 miles. I've never heard them at my home.
 
Here just east of Columbus, Ohio, it's all WKBN (maybe 3-4 on a 1-to-10 scale) daytime and not much at nights. Radio Reloj ticks, if anything, make it through. I've never heard Yankton or KLIF here.
When I lived in League City, Texas, it was a very weak KLIF daytime and a decent KLIF at night, with Radio Reloj underneath. Both were dependable.
 
West Houston / Cypress - very strong KLIF Dallas daytime, almost static free. Almost equal in strength to KTSA. KLIF must have dumped HD or something to be as strong as they are lately. They were weak for a while.

When I lived in Dallas, I could null them at night and hear WNAX Yankston.
 
Memphis:

daytime: WHBQ splatter
night: usually KLIF with Reloj cutting through
 
from south of Pittsburgh, the Mighty WKBN from Youngstown

Nearly strong as local during the day. Listenable at night, though with a lot of chatter
from Radio Reloj underneath (a bed of morse code underneath Cleveland Indians play-by-play)
 
Crystal Lake, IL

near sunset:
WKBN Youngstown, OH

nighttime:
WAAX Gadsden, AL
WKYX Paducah, KY
WNAX Yankton, SD
CMDC Santa Clara, Cuba (R. Reloj)

Back when I was there, KLIF and WBAP were running IBOC. I could tell by the signal strength when they weren't. It was noticeably better even as far south as me, and I distinctly remember hearing hash on 580 and 830 once when I tried from Katy.
