AM Stereo here in Connecticut

From what I remember, WMMM in Westport and WELI in New Haven ran the Kahn system and I think WTIC was listed as having the Harris system at the time. I know WICC had the Motorola system at on point as well.
I installed Motorola AM Stereo at WDRC in the mid-eighties. WRCQ 910 (now WLAT) ran stereo back in the day I believe, Motorola or Harris I think. I recall that my 87 Jeep's stock AM/FM radio decoded the Motorola compatible stereo systems.
1550 in Bloomfield never ran stereo but until recently had Kahn stereo encoding equipment which was used for a time in their "Power Side" mode.

When I got the tour of WICC/WEBE in Bridgeport, WICC was still running AM stereo.
(This was in 2005).

According to a Kahn Communications promotional piece I have on file, WILI Wilimantic, WMMM Westport, WNAQ Waterbury, WELI New Haven and WTIC Hartford where running Kahn at one point. The last three stations had the newer generation STR-84 exciter while WILI and WMMM had the original STR-77 Kahn units.
I think it was in 1988 I did a maintenance test for the National Radio Club and simulated Kahn's Powerside by adjusting our processing. I think I had a QSL as far out as Ohio, which I thought was pretty darn good.

I remember being in the WLAD air studio and I think there was a Sony car stereo which I presumed was the AM stereo air monitor, but of course that was eons ago.
WQQW in Waterbury had AM stereo when I was a weekender there in the early 90s. Because the Al Hamm Music of Your Life tapes were in mono, the station had to supplement them with stereo reels from another syndicator. Stereo sounded great on the air monitor.

I pulled out WQUN's AM stereo a few years back due to bandwidth issues with their old transmitter. Nobody seemed to notice, no complaints. Has it been switched back on?
I remember WTIC being stereo at one point. As it said stereo on the car factory radio that Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler uses. This was back in the early 2000s or maybe late 1990s when I think WTIC was AM Stereo

About a year ago I sold them an Arrakis console and the engineer at the time (whose name escapes me at the moment) mentioned there were running an 9100 Optimod, so I assumed they were running stereo at the time. He was going to try to donate their old mono AM Optimod for the high school campus station I was building but Quinnipiac had no interest in helping us so the thing just sits on a shelf I guess.

Was that a typical Arrakis...meaning no headphone jack?
bub said:
Yes, it was a 1200 series board. I downsized my personal studio and went from that to an ARC-10 that I bought second hand from a gent who only had it for two months. After Arrakis told me a two month old board no longer carried a warranty only because I was the second owner I went nuts. Do these guys think they're Harris? It bothered me so much I dumped the ARC-10 and replaced it with a Dynamax MX-12 which I an totally happy with.
Arrakis will never win any awards in my book, especially with their crappy customer service.

Correct me if I'm wrong but supposedly they have an automation software that is user friendly to N/T formats off the bird.
bub said:
I don't know if a second new board was installed or if they just fixed it because in September 2000 after El Principe Communications was evicted from the station they came back and destroyed the station. I know they damaged the transmitter and the board and a couple computers. I'm not sure what else.
As you know I was there 2002-2004 and I don't recall the make and model of the board either.
