AM Frequency of the Week 1120
- Thread starter cyberdad
- Start date
Hartland, VT:
Mystery station running Salem programming heard in the late afternoon, haven't been able to get an ID or track it down. Otherwise, this frequency is unproductive.
Meriden, CT:
WPRX Bristol, "La Puertoriquenissima," in Spanish, with rhythmic tropical pop including some reggaeton.

KMOX comes in well at night in Charleston, SC, often subject to a lot of fading depending on the night. Can get it into the early morning and right before sunset as well. Some people listen to the Cardinals games still.
The station near Camp Lejeune, NC sometimes comes in very weakly during the daytime, especially near the beaches with the water path. It’s an oldies station, I think 6kw daytime then it goes to 4.2kw during critical hours.
I can hear a few Wilmington area stations here at the beaches. 630 WMFD comes in weak, 980 WAAV listenable when the Summerville local station is off the air, and this one at 1120.

West side of Houston TX:
Daytime: splatter from local KTEK 1110, sometimes a very weak KTXW Manor (Austin) TX.
Sunset: mostly KMOX, but KTXW is there until they go to night power. I have heard KETU in Catoosa OK once or twice w/Spanish language programming
Night: KMOX, usually strong
Sunrise: KMOX, KETU mixing when they're at day power, and KTXW
I was a STL Cardinals fan growing up in Tulsa OK. I found KMOX carrying the Cards one night when they were preempted on local KVOO. That was my first awareness that AM DX existed. It was cool listening to the Cards "at the source", plus the Blues with the late great Dan Kelly.

From NW San Antonio...
Day: Amidst slop from local 1130 KTMR, it's a weak-to-fair KTXW, 85 miles to the NE, with Christian talk.
Sunset: KTXW's signal improves, and KMOX starts to mix in. Sometimes daytimer KETU "La Diferente" in Catoosa will mix in. Aiming NW, I sometimes hear KCRN in Limon, CO, with Catholic programming before it signs off.
Night: KMOX dominates with a fairly good signal. KTMR signs off but hands over its splatter to 1130 KWKH in Shreveport. After dropping to night power, KTXW is only heard under KMOX on rare occasions. XEPOP "Cinco Radio" in Puebla is often heard under KMOX and can take over briefly during fades.
Sunrise: KTXW is back mixing with KMOX when it goes to day power, and so is KETU when it signs on. Occasionally I'll hear a weak KCRN at sign-on when aiming NW.
DX/Retro: I've heard WTWZ in Clinton, MS, once; it was during sunset a couple of years ago when the station had a bluegrass music format. Another one-time catch was XETQE in Tenosique, TB. It was around the same time period but at night and in the KMOX NW/SE null.

Central Kentucky:
Days: Nothing although in the winter months KMOX has been know to hang around until 10 am or so.
Nights: KMOX like a local.
Retro/other: Everyone in my household back in the 60s & 70s were big Cincinnati Reds fans. But we also enjoyed listening to the other NL teams that the Reds played.
One of those was the Cardinals.
If the Reds weren't playing, we usually listen to the Cardinals on KMOX, or maybe the Cubs on WGN and the Pirates on KDKA. Back when a great number of MLB teams were on 50 KW sticks....
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater premiered in January 1974, when I was in Jr. High.
Majority of CBS affiliates ran RMT after midnight.
RMT became hugely popular, quickly, with school-aged kids but it's midnight airtime made it hard for school age kids to listen.
However there were two CBS stations that aired RMT at 9 PM. that I could receive.
KMOX was one.
WHAS was the other.
I told my classmates about being able to get RMT at 9PM, and told them how. My 15 minutes of fame...

In the Wilkes-Barre(Northeast PA) area, daytimes, usually nothing. At nights, KMOX, from St. Louis with a fair signal that fades in and out at times. There are other stations broadcasting on 1120 during the critical sunset hours, but I couldn't remember all of them.
Eastern Iowa: Nothing daytime, nighttime is always a strong KMOX.
