AM Frequency of The Week: 750

[schmave]

As with most other locations east of the Rockies, it's WSB every night here in Ohio. Daytime is nothing, though when WJR used to run IBOC you could hear the hash even as far south as Columbus.
WSB puts a nice nighttime signal into Houston even with powerhouse KTRH next door.

750 here of course is WSB. It does get interference at night from some Cubans or foreign stations. WSB comes in during the daytime during the winter, but usually very weak.

If you are in the SE (Charleston SC and not Charleston, WV) it's likely that you are hearing the Caracas, Venezuela, station (RCR, short for "Radio Caracas Radio") which runs (unless the current economy has made them cut back) 100 kw non-directional.

For the curious, there are two instances of "Radio" in the name because (until Chavez took it over) there was also a Radio Caracas Televisión... so the very heritage Radio Caracas added "radio" at the end of the name. The one I never understood was 1300 AM in the Dominican Republic which, for 20 years or so, was called "Radio Radio."

RCR is practically non-existent as a DX catch here, and I live near Miami! Radio Progreso in Cuba is now using 750 & I can hear it in the day.
