Sox on AM

Greetings -

Anyone know a one-stop list that will show where I can get the Sox on AM throughout New England? As soon as I drive out of range of one its a 20 minute search through the dial... redsox.com was no help at all.

Thanks!

I dont know if they're carrying the PreSeason games but WTIC AM 1080 out of Hartford, CT is a 50KW flame-thrower that carries the team and they're signal can be hear throughout New England day and night. You can call them and ask them if they're carrying the pre-season games. The office Number for CBS Radio Hartford is 860-677-6700.

So far for the pre-season games none of the games for the NY Team have been on the two local affiliates in my area. They've only been on the NYC Flagship station.

> WNTK AM1020 Newport

WNTK moved from 1020 back to 1010 at least a year ago. Thanks to the frequency move, WNTK can now operate at night, albeit with low power. But WNTK has applied to add a second tower and increase its night power.

Now, if you have an analog-tuned radio, you'd most likely pass by 1010 on your way to 1020 and you might never even have realized that you had tuned back to 1010 to pick up the station. But with a digitally tuned radio, you could have missed it.

Somebody told me that the station's Web site still has 1020--not 1010--in its URL. If so, it's pretty bad that the Web developers don't even know the frequency of the station whose Web site they work on.

Maybe they're afraid they might lose bookmarked viewers if they change the URL.

They've been on 1020 for several years now. The night power covers "downtown" Newport and maybe a mile or two out before the signal gets clobbered by WINS.

Curiously, what kind of directional pattern are they proposing to implement when they go DA? Other than Claremont to the west, not much population density in any direction.

It's a cardioid (two towers, one of them new) beamed pretty much east protecting WINS and CFRB. 2 kW but the NIF is really high, 75 mV/m, IIRC. However, according to the application, the NIF covers more than 80% of Newport.

The only AM that I am aware of with a higher NIF is WADK (curiously, also in Newport--but the one in RI). This one is not yet on the air either. Predicted NIF is 95 mV/m, all form WDCD. I gather that the licensee was afraid of weird skywave if he used towers of unequal heights. That could screw up the protection to WDCD, which is only a little more than 200 miles away. WADK's existing tower is half wave and the two new towers will both be 1/4 wave. The existing tower is supposed to become the center (high-power) tower in the three-tower almost-in-line array. The application says that the center tower will be electrically shortened to 1/4 wave at night. The FCC asked how. The consulting engineer said "we'll figure it out when we get that far." I suspect that they will skirt the upper half of the tower and drive the skirt via an isocoupler to reduce the current to zero in the upper half of the tower, but I'm not sure that that approach is workable. CP was granted anyhow--5 kW-N. No change in the 1 kW ND day operation. Any change in the day operation would force a significant reduction in signal to the west; WADK must have significant prohibited overlap with the 1550 station in Bloomfield CT and, thanks to the salt water, with the 1530 station in Bridgeport.

I can hear them down in the Philly area at night when the WEEI feed is not on XM or if I'm not home to watch NESN on DirecTv.
 
Thanks everyone!

great resposes - just what I was looking for and more!

And WTIC has never aired day games (at least during the regular season). I guess they figure the other affiliates (i.e. 560) and the flagship get down there well enough in daytime hours.
