Where can I catch The Rob Kremer Show?

M

Michael from Riverside

Does anyone know how I can catch the Rob Kremer Show?

Is the signal strong enough to reach Chicago...or at least the western suburbs?

Are you guys in the same time zone as Honolulu or are they ahead of you?

Please let me know...thanks!
 
I have no idea what station Rob Kremer is on (or who he even is, for that matter) and having never been to Chicago, I have never tried DXing any Oregon stations there so I really can't help you in that matter..........

But I do know this:
>>> "Are you guys in the same time zone as Honolulu or are they ahead of you?"

Oregon (as well as WA, CA, BC and the Yukon Territory) is/are in the Pacific time zone (GMT -8 hours when in Standard Time.) Honolulu is, of course, in the Hawai'i and Aleutian Time zone, which is two hours behind Pacific time (GMT -10 hours). However, because Hawai'i doesn't observe Daylight Time, they are three hours behind Pacific time during this part of the year.
 
Evidently Rob Kremer, along with Marc Abrams, is on KXL Sunday mornings. A political back and forth show. I think I can fetch it on the web here in the Chicago suburbs. Is that anything like the DXing you refer to?

So the folks in Hawaii are three hours behind you Oregonians and Yukonites. I wasn't sure...thanks for setting me straight MotoMuzak.
 
"I think I can fetch it on the web here in the Chicago suburbs. Is that anything like the DXing you refer to?"

Traditionally, DXing is listening to distant, out-of-market radio stations *with* a radio, like what many people did (still do) with short-wave. For example, KKSL 1160 broadcasts from Salt Lake City, UT (several thousand miles from here in Portland over rough, mountainous terrain!) but at night I can often copy it very clearly here, even though the station is not targeting the Portland area at all. In fact, this is one of the reasons Ibiquity's digital radio system (misleadingly known as "H.D. Radio") can not work on the medium-wave (AM) band in its current implementation.

I don't know if KXL penetrates the Chicago area at all or not, you might try tuning in 750 AM late some night and see. Unfortunately you may have a difficult time doing it nowdays, because of the multitude of AM stations clogging up frequencies. ("Honey, which station shall we listen to 'Coast To Coast' on tonight?" ;o) Thirty years ago (from what I have read; I am in my early 20s) it could have been an easy task, even fifteen years ago (pre-1996) maybe, but nowdays you'd need a steady hand and patience.

I guess in a somewhat distorted sense of the term, web radio could be considered an odd form of DXing since you can listen to radio stations from other areas of the world with it. ;o)


"So the folks in Hawaii are three hours behind you Oregonians and Yukonites. I wasn't sure...thanks for setting me straight MotoMuzak."

You bet.
 
DXing...listening over a long distance...now I get it. Thanks MotoMuzak.

I guess I was DXing years and years ago back when I was in college. I managed to pick up a Salt Lake City TV station while moving the TV antenna around up on the roof top. The antenna was mounted to the chimney of an old farmhouse along the Wilson River east of Tillamook, OR. My roommates down in the living room, who were watching the results of my effort, started yelling up to me. They were really confused when a weatherman suddenly appeared on the screen forecasting perfect weather for an upcoming moto-cross race in the desert. At the time Oregon was getting pelted with rain from west to east and we thought this guy was off his rocker until we learned he was explaining the weather around Utah.

Over the course of the summer that station was the only one we could pick up and then only once in awhile. There were six of us forestry students renting that farmhouse that summer and three of us converted to Mormonism...no one explained to us the consequences of Dxing ! ;)
