AM Frequency of the Week - 1180 kHz (10 kHz)

B

Buckeyes2001

What do you all get on 1180 AM?

During the day it is mostly blank but sometimes a very weak WXLA/Dimondale, MI if I'm away enough from the null they send towards me. Nights is all WHAM/Rochester, NY

In the near north Chicago suburbs it's a weak to moderate WSQR during the day and all WHAM at night.
 
Kenosha, WI day- WPUR937, Kenosha Convention and Visitors Bureau TIS. Easy to null with WSQR Sycamore, IL underneath. Night- WHAM. Their signal doesn't seem to be what it used to be, though.
 
I live in Rochester. I guess I get to sit this round out. :D

(However, you'd be surprised how quickly WHAM gets overrun by Cuba some nights heading south.)

KOFI Kalispell MT
KERN Wasco CA (Bakersfield) when they forget about night or they were running on an STA
KCKQ Reno NV? Someone under KOFI most nights
Cuba is there most nights also
 
In northern VA,

I get some slop from strong, local WCRW 1190 (50 kW days, 1 kW nights), depending on a radio I use. Nights, it's both WHAM and Radio Rebelde. On some days in the winter, before WCRW signed on, I have gotten weak WHAM by skywave.
 
Here in central Ohio, WHAM isn't the powerhouse it used to be - at least on nights I've dropped by the frequency. Not that Cuba is particularly loud here, either.
 
From Houston: local 50kW powerhouse KGOL-Humble airing ESPN deportes. At night much weaker with only 3kW but still the only station at the dial position.
 
Warminster PA(Philly 'burbs):

Daytime: local WFYL from King of Prussia(talk and ethnic, strong signal)
Night:WHAM(usually comes in shortly before WFYL goes off)
 
Whitmore Lake, MI
Day: A very weak WXLA Dimondale MI (Lansing market - Dial Global Adult Standards "America's Best Music" affiliate)
Night: WHAM
 
From my location on the SW Florida coastal area, during the daytime, there are two Spanish language stations, of which I can only make out the stronger one with any certainty as being the 10 KW Cuban station CMGL, located 348 miles distant. Another audible but much weaker station is also in there though, beating very slowly against CMGL, so close to being in the same direction that it nulls out in almost the exact same direction the null for CMGL is the deepest. There are no Florida stations at all on this frequency and no coastal Gulf of Mexico stations which I believe could account for the unidentified signal I can hear beating against CMGL. There is however, another much lower power (1 KW) Cuban station (CMJW), located some 525 miles east southeast of the CMGL location, which is a further away station at 575 miles distant from here. Perhaps that is the other one in there but truthfully, I just don't know for sure. During the nighttime, the Cuban station(s) continue to dominate the frequency, only both of them much louder, still beating, only occasionally allowing me to hear one over the other. At times you can hear a long, time delayed repeat of what the loudest station is broadcasting, as if it is a relay system of some sort to cover all of Cuba. The two of them are definitely from the same country's network in Cuba...
 
Lew: Do you ever hear Radio Marti? I know it's dramatically directed away from U.S. soil but still, thinking there's somewhere in this country that it's audible.
That jammer you hear from Cuba was very much present on the channel when I visited Panama City Beach, Fla. in July 2004. I remember it being fairly loud right by the shore. I do not speak Spanish, however, so I couldn't understand a word.
 
Here outside Boston it's WHAM and Rebelde/Cuba.

Daytime... I don't remember LOL
 
Here in Central New York it is WHAM-Rochester NY during the day, with a fair signal. Not so good at night as I am located in their in-between zone where groundwave and skywave collide.
 
Boiseengineer, perhaps the one u/ KOFI is KLAY Tacoma, WA.

In Bellingham, WA, slop from first adjacent local KPUG 1170 24/7

In Lynnwood, WA, a super weak KLAY days, KOFI nights.
