AM Frequency of the Week - 1550 kHz

[Buckeyes2001]

What do you all get on 1550 kHz?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is CBEF/Windsor, ON with the CBC French format during the day and at night with others mixed in behind them

 

[Schroedingers Cat]

CBEF usually. WZRK during critical hours and near sunset.

Far northwest suburban Chicago.....

Day: WZRK (Lake Geneva, WI) if and when its on. Weak.
Night: CBE more often than not before it migrated to FM. Now it's one of the more open nighttime channels, but still a jumble. If CBEF has moved here, I haven't heard it yet. But then again, I haven't been on the channel very much.

There is (or was) a CP for WZRK, or whatever is left of it, to stay on 1550 and move to the northern Chicago suburbs. Radioman's neighborhood. I don't know what the status of this is. But the consensus opinion (shared by me) is that it would probably never get built. It was a discussed in another thread a couple of years back.

According to www.fccinfo.com/CMDProEngine.php?sCurrentService=AM&tabSearchType=Appl&sAppIDNumber=1393249&sHours=D the drop dead date for the move is 11/15. That's unless they've filed anything recently that would extend their time to build it, which is pretty unlikely.

Agreed. I would be shocked if that facility ever got built.

It's a mess in Boise. Nobody wins at night.

 

[crainbebo]

KRPI Blaine WA days in Marysville, WA
Nights it's KRPI, KKOV-WA, KZDG-CA. No sign of the UT, NV or other CA stuff. But I keep trying!

daytimer local WNTN and mostly CBEF after they shutdown. I have also logged WSDK Hartford CT.

 

[RyanHoward]

Warminster PA(Philly 'burbs):

Daytime: splatter from local 1540 WNWR
Night: mostly CBEF

 

[boombox4]

Here at my QTH in W. WA it's KKOV and KRPI, with KKOV dominating at night. They are usually dominant enough to actually follow their programming. I don't get much of anything during the day here.

I logged a couple other stations (KZDG in California, another station in Spokane) at night, but nothing recently.

 

[KeyTimes950]

WZUM now occupies 1550 with old school R&B from Braddock, PA, Pittsburgh market, 1,000 watts daytime, but at night beyond about a 10-mile radius of its tower I usually can get the CBC French signal from Windsor with some difficulty.

In East Texas near Tyler, nothing really stands out during the day---at least anything strong enough to combat adjacent slop of 32kW KZMP 1540 from D/FW. At night several things come and go, but mainly it's a mix of the 250 watt skywave of XENU from Nuevo Laredo and a surprisingly strong WPFC from Baton Rouge with its 42 watt signal (non-directional, at that).

 

[ddsparxx]

In northern VA I get WMRY Martinsburg, WV with the sports talk; sunrise/sunset I logged in WKBA Vinton, VA (SW part of VA) with the southern Gospel format. Nights, it's a mix of stations but I logged in WDLR Delaware, OH with a Spanish format. (The town of Delaware is near Columbus)

 

[purpledevil]

No trace of WPFC here in Houston. 1550 gets interfered with by 1560 KGOW at my location. In Bellville, KWBC Navasota is the dominant station, with Nuevo Laredo underneath. Of course, that will change when KWBC moves to College Station.

Local WLOR in Huntsville AL was off this morning. I was able to receive WIGN in Johnson City TN and 1560 WAGL Lancester SC...

Here in Cincinnati, they tend to dominate their frequencies during the transition hours, especially at sunset.

I do have a local on 1560 in the northern area of Greater Cincinnati, but the local tends to get buried at sunset.

 

[DXnCruise]

A station from Lake Geneva when I was camping earlier today, in Lake County, IL. Further south where I live, hardly anything. Sometimes, I receive a Canadian station (in French, if I'm not mistaken).
