1160/WQRT Florence (Cincinnati) Going Silent

I

Icangelp

Not of interest to but a few, however our local WQRT on 1160 will be silent for at least a month prior to reappearing with another format. Last day is January 7, 2013.

Now I will have a chance for KSL.

Heard them regularly at my QTH back when WYLL was WJJD, and limited to SLC local sunset.
 
Back in 1987 when Infinity Broadcasting purchased AM1010 in Seffner (Tampa) Florida, I put the station off the air for a period of 4 1/2 months to replace the towers and rebuild the transmitter plant. I shut the station down on November 23, 1987 and brought them back on the air in April, 1988.

KSL was into Cincinnati virtually every night in the 60's on a 130' longwire and an old Zenith console radio (the one with the tuning eye). And there was never a hint of anything else on 1160 after WJJD signed off, just a weak KSL.
 
Chicago and something else are neck and neck at 12:30PM just south of Indianapolis...both are syndicated weekend infomercials and neither did a local cutaway. Perhaps the 50KW in Nashville?

Isn't there a station in Hawesville KY, across the Ohio from Tell City IN?
 
In WQRT's absence there also could be a pair of stations each from PA and the tough-to-log NJ*, Icangelp. I've gotten three of the four here (from near Hazleton) without even trying my DX best.

WCCS and WBYN from PA plus WOBM and WVNJ NJ send 'some' signal out that way, es[ecially upon their sign-ons or EDT power changes.

* (The Disney 640 made NJ a lot easier for a lot of folks, but that's just one station)

Thanks.

I'll try for all three.

I regularly hear WYLL/Chicago, and once heard WCRT/TN at sunrise when my local was off for a few minutes.
 
When WYLL went to the new night array near Joliet, even though they went from 5 kW to 50 kW nighttime, they only had to reduce the inverse field 10% toward the stations that they already interfered with greatly. That's what WXYT did also, and WWJ, when they went to 50 kW. The stations that already interfered with many stations could get 50 kW night, whereas newer Class B (IIIs on Regional Channels especially) stations and ones that were 1 kW night usually can only get 15-25 kW night if they upgrade. That's why you can get WYLL in those areas still where the 5 kW night pattern was near maximum.

When WJJD operated presunrise with 50 watts during the DST extension in the winter for the "energy crisis" in the 1970s, in SE MI, KSL and WJJD were about the same strength.
 
Last night at times KSL was on top of the frequency. Nice to hear them again. I was also hearing a spanish language station, but did not identify.

Radioman. WYLL is present most nights here in Cincinnati, though not strong and in and out.
