... while sitting in a chair in NEPA this Monday morning 5-18.
I raised the SDR in Smith's Parish Bermuda to hear what their overnight AM dial sounded like. An old National Radio nighttime pattern book featured sights like a dozen 1480 US stations from seaboard states sending signals that way like bullhorns, as well as some other pilings-on from other frequencies.
The scan on that dripping cascade of the skinny dial was pretty 'shrug'. Neither of the locals I saw listed on some site were on. Nothing on the AM dial from the place was on.
The loudest, clearest and steadiest signal was from WBAL 1090 from Baltimore.
1140 was next loudest, with Coast-to-Coast -- no ID but figure it was WRVA Richmond; they've sent half their signal southeast for decades down old US 60 (now //ed by I-64) into the Norfolk area.
Next in line was when I tried for 880 NYC, but instead got a clear Black Information Network show from WXBN. Seems they have 8 towers well west of Miami and send it all in that direction.
Despite being 4th in SINPO, WFED 1500 from DC very readable.
That's it! No locals on, no 1480 strafing, and even the graveyarders were muted mewings.
At 3PM today the Bermuda SDR had nothing on the scope. No lines at all. Must have been the Triangle at work.
