1070 WITHOUT CBA

[dx1ng]

Now that CBA-1070 in New Brunswick is silent (having moved their programming to FM) this is a fairly clear frequency in the Northeast. This should now be a great frequency for DX at sunset, with many higher power stations operating non-DA before switching to their nighttime patterns. What are you hearing on 1070, either at sunset or at night?

Here in Poughkeepsie tonight around 9pm I heard two stations, one carrying Blue Jays Baseball (CHOK - Sarnia, Ont??) and the other was ESPN - 10-7-0 (WFNI-Indianapolis??). This morning in the car around 7:45am, I had CHOK-Ont pretty much all by itself on 1070. I plan to do a lot more digging on this channel.

Never heard CBA here in Northern IL. Usually at night its a mix of WIBC (or whatever), WTSO, and CHOK. On rare occasions, KFDI sneaks in. Back in the day KNX also turned up on occasion.

Here in Mesa, Arizona (Phoenix area), KNX 1070 Newsradio is strong every night, even with local KDUS (1060) (5 kW, ND days, 500 watts, directional nights), and Class A KRLD (1080) flanking it.

Now if CHOK would just move to FM...

I've never heard CBA in Ohio or Indiana. CHOK gets out, in fact when i used to live in Lafayette, IN CHOK would dominate (at that time they were running the "GTO (Good Time Oldies) Radio Network at night.) with WIBC (45 miles away) in the background. I also heard WAPI in Birmingham there one sunset there. Here in Ohio its a mizx of now WFNI and CHOK.

From E. PA, on some nights CBA would be strong enough to push through the hash generated by KYW (1060) and their nighttime IBOC transmissions. Now, that frequency is pure hash/hiss - which also slops over into 1080, yet which cannot be decoded on my HD radio!

I would be interested to find out who folks in places like upstate New York and most of New England (away from Hartford and WTIC's IBOC hash) are getting in place of CBA. It used to come in pretty well there.

I'm an hour from the border with New York state and it's pretty much hash with CHOK Sarnia underneath.

The Blue Jays station is indeed CHOK. The ESPN station is 1070 The Fan, radio flagship for the Indy Racing League (Go Danica!)

But if you live in Ahwatukee, Chandler, or Gilbert, the IBOC sidebands of KNX override the mighty 500 watts of KDUS. KDUS's directional pattern gives an almost 100% null to the south/SE/SW. In fact, I start hearing KNX without 1060 splatter immediately after passing the KDUS towers while driving south on I-10.
