WLTW

I was listening to, and taping, some stuff off one of those SDR sites yesterday -- the Milford PA dial.


Those SDR sites are, essentially, someone elses' stationary radios, in places around the globe. Here's the Milford PA dial.

You can actually TUNE each of the dials. It takes just some basic hit-and-miss navigation at first, and it isn't genuine OTA DX. 'Reception' is somewhat like calling a friend in Idaho and asking them to play an Idaho station over the phone for you.

Anyway, The loudest station on the Milford SDR 'dial' -- the widest red ribbon -- is WYNY 1450. They are A/C, and feed a translator FM at 106.9. Of course, '1450' part is de-emphasized. 'Lite 1069' is mentioned at all breaks.
The songs I heard yesterday were not the sort of 'soft rock' that WLTW and WNSR in NYC would've been playing. But as Abraham S. alluded, the 41-year old female back in 1984 is now 80.
 
Hi Steve thank you for sharing this cool site with us. How does this site you gave us run? I was unable to locate the 106.9 station. Thanks!
 
Hey Bizzle. I'll Link here what I believe it their 'home' page.


That should bring up a list of all the pages available Choose a site, click on the blue link letters (Art's brother, hi) once, left, and that page / radio dial should come up. Some have a 'start' arrow ; some come on automatically. Most come on with a random AM or SW station already on, much the way you'd turn on a radio at your aunt's place and find it tuned already to something like WOR, or KYW. The easiest way to tune is to look at the upper left hand of the grey slide-out box, backspace what frequency is there, and type in your own.
That grey box, with all the machinery buttons, has a tool to collapse it -- same line as the frequency 'tuner' ; that RIGHT upper line button.

You're better off if you click the 'MW' choice on that same top line. That should give you the AM dial by itself. Some readouts are more generous that others.

If there's an FM dial availability you seek, I can't find it, hi. I've been strictly an AM DXer since I got my first electric shock. with one season of Short Wave, on 49 metres.
So, most likely that 106.9 WYNY from Milford PA would be unavailable. I was tuned to that station's AM 1450 (which they hardly ever give as the crucial frequency).

Lol -- I don't know that much about these newfangled things. I'm just a DXer. What do I know? You'll get more operating experience on the SDR sites by asking the 7-year old across the street.

73! Bon chance !
 
We've been talking about the remote SDRs on the DX and Reception board, and they are indeed all over the world. Most don't pick up FM broadcast but some Global Tuners receivers do, and I'm familiar with the Milford, PA Global Tuner.
