Best evening of new AM DX loggings I've experienced in DECADES last night.
Not only will they count on the former radio log totals from Queens, but all eleven were received and duly dotted within one hour -- four of them on the same frequency -- and without me having a radio turned on.
It seems I found an old looseleaf book (while looking for something else, naturally), the last several pages of which were largely of car mileage and trip notes from our various sojourns and relocations at the time. A page or two had some dregs of the last DX sessions in Queens near JFK Airport, and a few were car radio IDs. All of them wound up getting ignored or lost to time and other priorities, such as moving three times in one year.
Still, within ten miles of the original Queens totals list were gleaned, at varying times and off various radios :
530 CJRN (From, I presume, Nyyyy-agggrrra FALLLLLS, slowly turning, step-by-step). Might've been // with CFGO 1200 Ottawa for a while.
" JFK Airport TIS
" Newark Airport TIS
720 CHTN P.E.I., with Oldies
750 'News Radio', Olyphant PA; diff calls then (WWAX?), same facility as now
820 WZYQ Frederick MD.
1100 Something called 'ZDK'. Nice log notes. Bermuda, maybe?
1160 What the devil -- FOUR newies?? : WYNS Lehighton PA, VSB3 Bermuda, WOBM 'Star Country' Lakewood NJ, and WMVI in upstate NY's Mechanicsville.
Lol -- if I save up enough money for gas, tolls and ambition for a car trip 'back home' to hear WVNJ Oakland NJ, I'd have ten stations logged there on 1160. That's ridiculous. Eight of them were not even listed in the old National Radio Club station guide. Only Chicago's WJJD ad Utah's KSL were available back then.
Check those old cocktail napkins, menus, matchbooks, receipts and mileage logs, folks. 73's and happy reading!

Since 1040 CKST Vancouver, BC was taken off the air this year in Bell Media's Canadian AM shutdown this year. I've gotten KXPD Portland, OR (Slavic religious) in Mount Vernon, WA. Pretty Impressive for 200 watts. And a ghosty News/Talk thing underneath (WHO? W-H-O?) KSTP is a regular catch since KGA turned it down to 10,000 nights. And I've gotten WCCO. So it's possible.
KDSO 1300 Phoenix-Medford, OR made it to Alaska
658pm AK/758pm Pacific Nov 30th with Westwood One football.. at 1 minute 40 seconds in the recording you hear a few local identifiers/promos

KEJB The Jukebox - Eureka, Ca 1480 AM is a regular visitor 2000 miles away in McGrath Alaska with its 1KW non directional night power. And it's regularly pretty listenable in at least short spurts.
Here's a recording from Thu. Nov 30th at 653pm AK/753pm Pacific

I was about to post on the 1040 thread that in some parts of my little town, WHO was audible on my car radio. Well, it is today, but it seems like mid-afternoon mid-band skip at the start of critical hours instead, in that KDKA is bombing in along with KMOX and WRVA, with KSTP 1500 pushing through as well. CJBC 860 is also there, but not CFZM 740 off the same tower. Winter is around the corner.
Also have been hearing KEJB Eureka on 1480 with oldies, local news, and weather. They were in sith S4-S5 signals this a.m., with KBMS Portland (R&B) is either competing with it on the channel or underneath.
1460 is KION Salinas most nights, often just barely readable, with KRRS Santa Rosa's Regional Mexican programming also present. No ESPN Yakima, any night, over the past couple weeks. They're completely MIA. They used to dominate the channel.

KION is a regular here, ish, kinda but not always too well. KBMS was my winner on 1480 last year, but now its KEJB.. im using a different antenna this year, so that could be it.
One of the things I love about SW is the languages heard.. still, to this day.. that id never have heard of or be exposed to.
I've discovered so many african languages i didnt know existed when i tune around and hear the BBC, VOA or a religious broadcaster targetting Africa and having to look up just what the language is when I see TAH listed.
Tachelhit Never heard of that before.
Then theres this one, from Radio Romania International.... and this is I guess, obviously...an offshoot of a language with a very very similar name
ARomanian. Nope, not a typo.. despite my penchant for typos.

I found out about Aromanian a few months ago and was really surprised there was a variant of Romanian spoken in Greece, Albania, and so on that had been around since the Roman Empire. Supposedly a few hundred years ago there were all sorts of languages in Europe with long histories but their speakers were usually eventually absorbed into other populations.One of the things I love about SW is the languages heard.. still, to this day.. that id never have heard of or be exposed to.

It was a good day to be driving to and from assignments in the southwest suburbs of Chcago. Four new catches within about 7 miles of my house (my limit of distance from the ol' domicile because that's the distance from my old workplace:
1. 1140 KXRB Sioux Falls, S.D. 10 kW, at 8:35 a.m. CT, rising out of hash and maybe a hint of WRVA with a pair of clear IDs, a local ad, then back to country music.
2. 1310 WCCW Traverse City, Mich., 50 kW, at 3:56 p.m. CT, a clear ID, then rock music.
3. 1290 WHKY Hickory, N.C, 50 kW day, at 4:02 p.m. CT, a couple of IDs, an ad for Charlotte Motor Speedway's Christmas lights deal, and a slew of station mentions for an anniversary.
4. 1300 WNQM Nashville, Tenn., 50 kW day, at 4:29 p.m. CT, a booming "1300 Nashville" promo and then into music. That runs the total to 581 AMs.
Plus relogs of 1320 WILS Lansing, Mich., under WKAN and 1300 WRXL Lancaster, N.Y., in the absence of the late WRDZ.

MW DX earlier this a.m.: Thdddddddt. The exact opposite of a couple mornings previous. Summer daytime conditions.
SW wasn't bad, ironically. Not a ton of Asia, but VOA in Burmese on 9335 (from the Philippines) was blasting in at S5 signals and KNLS Chinese on 9550 and Russian on 9605 services were local quality -- louder than normal. Radio Liangyou on 9345 was in readably with a religious program in Chinese (I think they're religious -- not sure), and one of the CNR outlets on 9660 (probably CNR-1 jamming R. Free Asia) was in maybe S3-S4, and North Korea in Korean on 9345 was in with moderate signals. All between 1500-1700 UTC, 7-9 a.m. PST.
So it was mixed bag. Radios used were my Panasonic RF-B45, XHDATA D-328 with indoor wire on SW and the RF-B45 with loop on MW.

I'm guessing people forget to post there location
Sorry about that. I'm in the Seattle-Tacoma region of WA state.
