AM Frequency of the Week - 830 kHz

B

Buckeyes2001

What do you all get on 830 AM?

Here in Vermilion, OH it is a rather weak WKTX/Cortland, OH with a nostalgic format during the day and WCCO at night.
 
Same here in Akron... WKTX and WCCO. Although I was scanning the dial during twilight one evening and came across WTRU from Winston-Salem North Carolina before it reduced its power. It's a 50,000 watt daytimer that reduces to 10,000 watts at night.
 
Monroe, WA
Nothing during the day.

Night - usually KNCO Grass Valley, CA, with occasional CKKY Wainwright, AB. Also have received WCCO several times as well. A bit less than 1,400 miles, for that one.

Boise ID
Day nothing (except 950 KMHR's garbage)
SR & SS it's KUYO KNCO KLAA and maybe a Mexican?
Night it's WCCO usually all alone.
 
Northern VA,


Days, if it's anything, it's a trace from WEEU Reading, PA, which aims its signal opposite of me.

Sunrise/sunset, especially in the winter, I have gotten WTRU near Greensboro, NC and I once got WCCO here just before sunrise.

Nights, it's mostly WCCO and WTRU.
 
Houston (NW side) - weak weak community information station.

Night - mixture of Spanish language, WCCO is very weak in the mix.
 
From a couple miles south of El Cajon, CA…

Midday:
KLAA Orange, CA (50kW ND transmitter near Corona in the area bounded by I-15, CA-91, CA-71 & CA-60), clocking in at around 32-35 dBu on my Tecsuns.

Post-Sunrise / Pre-Sunset:
add KFLT Tuscon, AZ, sometimes overpowering KLAA.

Night:
mostly KLAA.
Have maybe heard KNCO Grass Valley, CA, a couple times
several years ago heard WCCO once or twice

Speaking of WCCO… rbrucecarter5, isn't WCCO one of the stations you've heard midday in TX with your large loop antennas? Also how sharp is the tuning on those loops - while using one, how close can you get to WBAP's tower before splatter overwhelms WCCO on a hangar-door-wide cheap radio, assuming they're both at the same heading?
 
In central Kansas, it's blank during the day and WCCO at night which gets squeezed hard by the adjacent 1-A's of WHAS and especially WBAP.
 
Warminster PA(Philly 'burbs, as I like to call it):

Daytime: WEEU Reading PA
Night: same thing(before WEEU moved here, used to hear WCCO, WNYC New York before they went to 820,
and a Cuban station, forget what that was)
 
Far northwest suburbs of Chicago.....

Day: Blank except for minor splatter from WCPT (820), and second adjacent WAIT (850), which is about three miles from me.

Night: WCCO has a really good signal here, but I have heard Cuba underneath at times.

Personally, I think WCCO is even getting into the Chicago area better at night than had been the case up until about 3-4 years ago. I wonder if Stormy, Radioman, Audioguy, Tom Wells, or any others in the neighborhood have noticed the same thing? Or is it just me.
 
SW Ohio

Nights
WCCO Minneapolis
WEEU Reading PA - Only heard once

Days
Nothing

@Sunset I've Heard
WKTX Cortland OH
KOTC (now WUMY) Kennett MO

WTRU Kernersville NC - I've heard them at night & at sunset.
 
From NE NC car radio. Middays, 830 is blank. Sunrise/sunset WEEU Reading, PA dominates with sometimes WTRU Kernersville, NC on top. Nights is usually WCCO.
 
Last night when I tuned to 830 AM, I received WCCO. I oriented the radio 90 degrees and received a Spanish music station. Does anyone have an idea where this is coming from? Could this be Cuba or Mexico? I live in Akron Ohio.
 
Here in SE Michigan, it's a mix of WKTX and WMMI in the daytime. By the time you get ti Flint, it's just WMMI. At night, it's WCCO. I have received WMMI near Racine, so if you can get away from WCPT far enough, you might try for that.
 
Update on my earlier post, I am adding WFNO Norco, LA to what I've heard; a usually rather weak signal heard at night here in VA.
