AM Frequency of the Week: 1670

Daytime: Nothing
Nighttime: Something Really Weak

The only logging here in NE PA on 1670 is a 'CJEU', from Gatineau Quebec. That catch had to've been off the long-gone Lafayette HA-600a in the other house cattycorner in town. Gatineau is west of Montreal, and across one of three bridges from Ontario's Ottawa -- Canada's capitol city.
(Sacre bleu! That useless trivia .... along with counting with CHU; listening to CJBC only every Christmas Eve; noting that parts of Ontario are latitudinally closer to the Equator than are Buffalo, Albany and Boston plus about all or parts of a dozen US states .... is all I care to know about a place that represents a quarter of my ancestry :rolleyes: )

Btw: Have any of these new, basically UHF-hamstrung AM stations hanging off the end of the end of the AM dial ever shown up in any ratings as a solitary, standalone X-Band facility?
Way back at the start of the great extended expedition I'd heard something about WEUP from Alabama getting some ratings ink. Some of it might've been some spill from when they were allowed to simulcast their 1600 for a while .....
 
East Tennessee: WMGE, Dry Branch GA with Black Information Network on winter afternoons. Sometimes WOZN Madison.

In Ohio it was mostly WOZN (or predecessor) and in the winter could sometimes be there all day.

The exception seems to be KCJJ in Iowa City which continues to be successful. I remember WEUP on 1600 and later on 1700. Couldn't tell you how they're doing.
 
Denver, CO - Not much. Some receivers get a little bit of an image from local 1650 KBJD. Kind of mystifying, that.
 
Here in Wood Dale, IL in the near NW suburb of Chicago:

Daytime: weak WOZN
Nighttime: usually WOZN

DX/RETRO: Others heard CJEU (Gatineau, PQ), WMGE (Dry Ranch, GA). At some point WMGE ran on STA basis from Warner Robbins, GA with various calls. I remember hearing them as WRNC. Also back 1996 there was an experimental Army Radio test station broadcasting from Ft. Meade, MD which initially called itself KTRK (supposed to stand for K Truck), but later changed to ARMY Radio since KTRK calls were assigned to a TV station in Texas. Apparently they were using 5 kW mobile based transmitter. It was received fairly well in the Chicago area. I did receive a very nice QSL card from the station. Here is a nice write up about the station: http://www.dxarchive.com/mw/pdf/ktrk_story_mwc_march_1996.pdf

Also driving around in the Chicago area there are several IDOT TIS stations that can be received on the car radio.
 
From west Houston TX

Daytime, sometimes I can hear TIS stations in Missouri City and Brazos Bend, just to my south. Sometimes in the winter I hear XEFCR in Reynosa Tamaulipas, just over the border in far south Texas.
Sunset and night, XEFCR has dominated since they came on the air in 2022. I can null them and hear WMGE Dry Branch GA with Black Information Network.
Sunrise, XEFCR

Before XEFCR came on I sometimes heard sports talk under WMGE, surely WOZN, but never got an ID.
 
Clifton, New Jersey

Days: Mostly splatter from WWRU "AM 1660 K-Radio" Jersey City, NJ.

Nights: There's some splatter from WWRU, but I have received CJEU "Radio Jeunesse" Gatineau, QC and WMGE "Macon's BIN 1670" Dry Branch, GA.

DX/Retro: On 10/17/2019, I received WOZN "The Zone" Madison, WI with splatter from WWRU. It was likely at its daytime power because of the one hour difference between the eastern and central time zones.
 
From NW San Antonio:

Day: Nothing. A few times during winter daytime skywave I've heard XEFCR in Reynosa, TM.

Sunset/Night/Sunrise: XEFCR puts in a strong signal. If I aim E/NE, I sometimes hear a weak WMGE in Dry Branch, GA, when there's an occasional XEFCR fade.

DX/Retro: Prior to November 2021 when XEFCR first came on the air, I often heard WMGE, and XEANAH in Huixquilucan would occasionally mix in with a faint signal. During sunrise, WOZN would sometimes mix with WMGE. To the NW, KHPY in Moreno, CA, often came up with a pretty good signal.

A few times at night/sunrise when propagation was especially good, I heard WWG55 in Rutersville, TX; it's a TIS that relays a local NOAA station. Stations I've heard just once include CJEU in Gatineau, QC, Canada, and newstalker KQMS in Redding, CA.
 
From the southwest suburbs of Chicago ...

WOZN Madison, Wis., and WMGE, Dry Branch, Ga., both around sunrise in the late fall/early winter a few years ago.
 
DFW, Texas
Daytime: WPIW244 Farmers Branch, TX with KEC56 NOAA Weather is heard as I travel east toward Lewisville.
Nights: XEFCR dominates, but have also heard -
XEFCRTamaReynosaSpanish music standards no announcements, later in the evening 50s and 60s oldies, good/steady aimed N/S
