Reception was almost as good as on my big rigs.
My GE SRIII couldn't even hear it
This station is 13,000 km's/8,000 miles from this QTH


Which receiver were you using?

Sorry, I didn't see the subject heading. That is pretty amazing
reception using just the internal ferrite stick. Did you hear any other
US stations on MW at that time?

The opening was only a short one and I was concentrating on getting a
recording of a decent station ID on the TOH, so the only other station I
heard was probably Boston on 1510.

I still have my Degen DE1103 and don't use it much. It's still in new
condition, as new with the factory blemishes anyway. It's functionality is
perfect though.

I was kicking around the idea of selling it and getting a Redsun RP2100.
I'm more interested in DX AM, and I'm using my Tecsun BCL3000 more than any
other radio in the house. How much better would the Redsun RP2100 be over
my Tecsun?

That would be 1520 kHz for the curious. They run 50kW.


Ace -

Wasn't that station's call WKBW at one time?

Bob

Yes, it was the home of the infamous Joey Reynolds who now has a
syndicated talk show on AM. He was a popular DJ on WKBW in the 60's.

"KB Radio,
Tommy Shannon Show"

WKBW was the #1 rock station for those of us living in Bangor, Maine,
ca. 1960. There was also WPTR in Albany and WMEX in Boston.

Greg

Thanks, John.

Best A.M. DX for me was

picking up traffic reports on 770 WABC

on a $29.95 ten band radio

when I was on an island in The Bahamas
