WBAL

WBAL 1090 Baltimore now a regular night time catch in Charlotte,NC.

Seems like it would be a pretty easy catch there, unless there was some HD interference maybe from WBT?

No.WBAL doesnt get into Charlotte at night.
I think they are directional night then.

OK, I see. Never knew they were that directional at night, I always just assumed that since I get them up here they weren't.

I'm surprised to hear this. I always thought that WBAL covered a greater portion of the east coast at night, not just the states north of Maryland.

Though we are pretty far north in PA, WBAL is a car radio catch around the clock. It isn't very loud in the day, but it's there. So is WCBM 680.
Despite that proximity, I would imagine that 1090 would be a swell sunset channel even here. A lot of stations from the south and west of here are on 1090 in that designed void between WBAL and KAAY.

Curious, Dave :
Do you get either WTIC or KRLD at night regularly?

 

[DaveArnold]

Never get KRLD.Get WTIC sometimes.

WBAL's been a rare catch in Fayetteville NC as long as I can remember. Usually 1100 WWWE/WTAM came in pretty good.
I'll have to check for WBAL tonight though.

WBAL 1090 is usually MUCH stronger at night than 1080 WTIC Hart here in central MASS.

Wow....looks like you're more likely to catch them in Bermuda than in Charlotte or Pittsburgh.

I can hear WBAL faintly off the back of their night pattern here in Lexington, KY most nights. They mix with KAAY-1090 out of Little Rock which is usually the stronger of the two stations at my location. Two years ago last November while on a trans-Atlantic cruise, I WAS able to Hear WBAL fairly well in the Mid-Atlantic east of Bermuda around 9-10 PM.

WBAL is a regular catch, up here in eastern Ontario (along with WTIC, etc.). Throwing a very good signal, my way right now, with about 15 minutes before local sunset. I'll have to check it out after the 'critical hours' period has passed.
