Need help on AM 730

F

formula72

Last night I was hearing music on AM 730, and I don't know where it was coming from.

I'm was getting all sorts of things coming through, but even with all the resources at my leisure, I was unable to determine were the music was coming from.

Here's what I can provide, The station was very weak, music was 70s, 80's and 90's adult contemporary. I'm in the San Francisco Bay area.

Other stations I was picking up
CHMJ out of Vancouver was coming in ( full time traffic )
I can hear a Spanish station, but that can be one of 3 distant stations, La Gran D KDBI out of Boise, Idaho, KSVN out of Utah, or XELBC out of Baja California.
I do not hear Fox sports KEZX out of Oregon or KULE out of Washington.

Unless one of these stations has changed formats ( excluding XELBC out of Mexico ), I don't know where I'm hearing this music from, because the station is very weak, and the splatter from KCBS on 740 is not helping.

Thanks....
 
FCC data base shows a new application for a 10k day and night in Vernon, BC on that frequency. If it is on the air, it is a possible.
 
That would be pretty cool, but IDK, what about the 50kw CHMJ ( which I can receive ), the all traffic station serving the Vancouver area.

Even though Vernon is only about 200 miles away from Vancouver, at night, signals will collide/overlap.

According to google pedometer ( straight line ), I'm about 900 miles away from Vernon. If that signal is making it this far, that's not bad for 10KW with other stations around it.
