AM Frequency of the Week: 1030

Not open for further replies.
In Wilkes-Barre(Northeast PA), during the daytime, almost nothing. Evenings is mostly WBZ. WBZ is, in my opinion, the most powerful skywave signal that I mostly received at nights.

Also, on some occasions, I could hear a faint signal of WBZ even during the daytime in the summer months with a tunable AM loop antenna. Winter time, it comes on even during lunchtime!
 
In west Houston TX, daytime is a weak signal from KCTA. As others have noted, they often stay on after sunset.

Around sunset in KCTA null, XEQR is usually on top. I've also heard KFAY with conservative talk and KBUF with ag talk.

At night, XEQR and another SS station (per jim-satx, must be XEROPJ but I've not ID'd yet) are usually dominant. I've heard WBZ a few times, along with KTWO on occasion.

Sunrise, KCTA often comes on early (maybe at WBZ sunrise?). The two Mexicans mentioned above are usually in there as well.

I know I've mentioned this before, but WBZ was the best US signal I noted when I was in Costa Rica a few years ago.

Same here in the East Bay. Nothing by day as far as I can tell; maybe some light splatter from KTCT 1050 (which is so near that I can hear slight splatter even on 1030), but KTWO is loud and clear at night with mild to moderate fading.

Central Kentucky:
Days: Nothing but during the winter months, WBZ may appear around 4 in the afternoon at times.

Nights: WBZ loud and clear. Causes splatter on adjacent KDKA which should be stronger at my location than it is.

Has anyone, anywhere, ever gotten a "better than expected" skywave signal from KDKA? I know I sure haven't!
 
I have heard it really loud in central Ohio a few times over the years. Disclaimer: I don't stop on 1020 often. But I don't think I've ever heard it sound better than WBZ, KMOX, etc.
