DXing The Expanded AM Broadcast Band

[Steve Green NEPA]

Need some X-band help here, btw .....

But before that : 'Good memories'. Especially to Bud50. My grandpa, same name as me, had a Zenith T-0. I was forbidden to go near it to play with.

Forbidden by my Dad -- not by his Dad!

But my parents had a big ol' Zenith console at home. That became the main DX radio through school years and into college. I caught the standard-issue 1200 or so stations on it. It had the same 'Wave-Magnet' antenna aegis as the T-O. Despite the full-fidelity broadband reception and slightly cockeyed analog tuning, the fervent hunter always knew if it was tuned to 1230 or 1240, or to 1460 or 1470. I still have three similar-chassis Zeniths up and at 'em, only they're in table radio form.

Need some help for this, if you folks can :

Somewhere in the 90's, there were two widely-heard X-band stations from the airport in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I caught the pair here in NE PA but don't have them logged/written down. What were their frequencies? Is anyone out there more diligent than I in keeping track, hi ?

The stations were on 1640 and 1680 (both with 60 watts output) but 1640 was shut down several years ago. WPLR660 on 1680 is still licensed.
