AM Frequency of the Week - 1170 kHz

[Buckeyes2001]

What do you all get on 1170 AM? Here in Vermilion, OH I get a moderate WWVA/Wheeling, WV. At night I usually hear them with others underneath including one with religious programming have yet to ID.

Daytime, it's all WWVA here in Thornville, Ohio. Not the powerhouse you might expect because of the lousy ground conductivity east of here, though. WWVA completely disappears here at pattern change. I have never heard it at night, ever.

Far northwest suburbs of Chicago....

Day: Basically splatter from WYLL (1160). If I null that, with a good radio I can sometimes hear snatches of WFDL (Waupun, WI).

Night: Usually KJOC, Davenport, IA. Weak, but clearly audible. I'm in the nulls for both WWVA and KFAQ, so neither is a factor here. KFAQ is the more likely of those two to show up...especially around sunset before going to their night pattern.

Usually lower-sideband Ibiquity noise from KEX (1180-1200 kHz.)

No, the Ibiquity sidebands are *not* a "buzzing" sound at all on MW. Let's get that preconception out of the way right now. It's basically loud static, or so on 1170, it's more of a "scratchy" noise.

Weak WWVA day and night in Dayton. Pretty sure they are also your religious station, Buckeye, as they broker out 8pm-1am including Roy Masters.

In Tennessee I had KFAQ from Tulsa strong near their sunset.

Bonus: If you remember when WWVA's towers blew down when they had a temporary setup, how did you recieve them? I got them with a lot of deep fades.

Here in Bellevue, WA I get KPUG Bellingham, WA at night. Sunset usually brings KLOK in San Jose, and I also hear KFAQ Tulsa once in a while.

In Houston, KFAQ is pretty dominant starting at sunset. Slop from the local on 1180 during the day, but disappears when they power down at night.

 

[radioman148]

Near north Chicago suburbs I hear only WYLL splatter during the day & at night a weak WWVA & sometimes Davenport, Ia.
Speaking of KFAQ which I usually don't hear here, when I was in Hawaii several years ago KFAQ put in a pretty good night time signal for 3,500+ miles.

Central VA: Nothing daytime, WWVA at night.

 

[ddsparxx]

Same thing here in northern VA,
nothing days, WWVA at night. When WWVA's towers were down, WCXN in NC came in at night when it supposed to be a daytimer.

Sunset recently, it's WDEK in Lexington, SC also known as "The Deck."

 

[FreddyE1977]

from suburban Pittsburgh, WWVA during daylight hours.

Also WWVA at night, but not as well as you'd think given they are
50kW and 60 miles away. Lots of fading and fluttering, with something
in Spanish creeping in underneath.

Oklahoma. Nothing but KFAQ day and night. Their IBOC noise from 1150-1190.

 

[wildthangjim]

I remember growing up in Tulsa with KVOO, the Voice of Oklahoma. I remember them bragging at the time (late 60's-early '70's) that they had been heard in Vietnam. When I would visit my relatives in West Texas, they would come in like a local at night, nothing else audible underneath.

 

[fybush]

No surprise that in suburban Rochester NY, it's all splat from WHAM 1180. When WHAM wasn't running IBOC at night, I could hear WWVA on good radios. Now...just buzz!

 

[N4GBK]

NE NC car radio. Days 1170 sometimes is weak WCLN Clinton, NC. Sometimes hear WWVA days. Nights is WWVA.

 

[Darth_vader]

"Now...just buzz!"
