Here's a couple of not-trying-too-hard catches I've made in the last couple of days.
The RX is my Hammarlund HQ 145X and the antenna system is a pair of longwire antenna end fed to the leadin. One wire is 100 ft running E-W and the other running N-S. My location is NW Florida about 40 miles N of Pensacola at about 31 deg N 87 deg W:
WXM 650 Nashville
WBBM 780 Chicago
WJR 760 Detroit
WLOR 1550 Huntsville AL.
WPHT 1210 Philly, PA
These were all grey period listening sessions.
Question: Do any stations still do on-air transmitter checks? You know, with the tone sweeps and such like they used to do back in the "good old days"?
I once tuned in a 500W daytime only station in Falfurrias TX (don't recall the call or dial position) at about 3am MST from my Albuquerque NM location while they were doing their tests.
