AM Frequency of The Week: 1470
- Thread starter crainbebo
- Start date
When I'm in West Sac it's Radio Disney
In Vallejo, Nothing in the day time, Radio Disney at night from Sac really weak

On 1470 at home, XERCN Tijuana hits 56/25 ±2dBuV 24/7 on my PL-380 using the stock loopstick.
Nothing here. The closest local adjacents are talk WHBC/1480 Canton and gospel WABQ/1460 Paiinesville. Neither is close enough to slop onto 1470.
The ckisest 1470 is WLOA in Farrell PA, just on the PA side of the border from Youngstown. Not nearly close enough to get over here. WLOA has been in a long procession of formats from oldies to sports to classic country, but is currently placeholding with EMF's "K-Love". EMF is buying 1470 and 940/Greenville PA along with 107.1/Greenville PA, but is only holding onto the latter.

Concord,CA (Near SF) KIID Sacramento
In SE Michigan, WFNT Flint and WLQR Toledo are both available by turning the radio. Go Downriver, and WLQR is dominant. Go to Oakland County, and WFNT is dominant. WMBD is the primary interfering signal at night. WMBD uses different height towers, and the skywave at high angles is much stronger than the horizontal inverse field is.

Day: static
Night: mess, with a Vietnamese station and a Spanish station coming through the loudest and occasionally fighting between themselves.

During the day here, SW of Hazleton PA about 20 miles, it's Allentown. When I moved to NE PA they were Oldies, then Religious, then Sports. I don't know what they broadcast now. Probably Religious Sports Oldies. But how many times can you listen through post-game analyses of the Lions and Christians?
At night, 1470 is a muck.

Olden Days, Laurelton Queens NYC, 1470 was a ripe frequency for all parts of the day .... high noon, overnight, sunrise and sunset. If you had a halfway-decent/good radio, local WHOM 1480 was little more than an occasional audio speed bump and readily nulled.
Depending on the daytime antenna bearing, it was either WMMW Meriden CT or WSAN Allentown, faint and steady. The latter was a louder station with their Top 40. WJDY Salisbury MD was a very frequent sunset catch and quite often very loud. 10 PM often had a mix of WSAN Allentown and WLAM Maine.
Overnights it was WMBD Peoria, as noted by a poster here. (I can't be the only one here old enough to remember their overnight MoR show being sponsored by the Adams Street Supermarket. Fess up!)
A few sunrise catches would frequent this unlikely NYC first-adjacent frequency, and one one or two Auroral sunsets the two stations from Florida made it through.

Well were I live I get Spanish on 1470 at night, but nothing in the day time..
I live way down, where reception on FM/TV is bad, don't know about AM in my area..

Here in Warminster PA, 1470 is usually the Allentown station(I forget the calls!), day and night.
Far northwest suburbs of Chicago....
Day....hardly anything
Night....WMBD very solid. Sometimes almost sounding like a local. Given today's conditions, I'm always a little surprised that there are still a few instances where a 5kw skywave signal can still dominate a regional channel like this one does around here.

They might be. I'm not fluent in tiéng Viêt or Español myself and the signal was way too drifty to hear a call being announced, even using my Selectatenna.
On the upside tho, the powerline hash seemed unusually quiet last night! Of course, that was before I plugged my PDA in to charge. (I found out last night that the Dell factory-stock power supply, model ADP-13CB, is unbelievably noisy and I could hear mine on the other side of the flat!)
