Re: CKWW
The Magnavox Stereo Theater we had had tubes and had strong radiating oscillators on both AM and FM, probably because the leads were longer in the chassis than a solid state radio would have, and acted like a more efficient antenna.
If you're neighbor listened to weak FM signals, you might have been able to jam and capture them with your strong oscillator. That would buy you a period of peace and quiet! Probably those oscillators didn't meet Part 15 requirements, at least today. I heard that a receiver oscillator once caused a plane crash, from radiating interference in the Aircraft Band.

Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?

Re: CKWW
With as well heard as ckww is across metro Detroit during all hours, I have a hard time believing it's only running 500w. I don't listen regularly, but anytime I have it seems so strong that there'd have to be some serious dx going on to completely wipe it out. Not impossible, just impressive.

Re: CKWW
It's partly the low dial position, and partly the very good conductivity near the Detroit River. The pattern is the problem in many areas.

Re: CKWW
It helps that they are near the bottom of the band (ignoring ionospheric skip, longer wavelengths provide far longer distances that at the top of the band - since we can't swap out all the soil in Michigan for the soil in Saskatchewan, the only way to cover a large area by day is to use a low frequency).syntheticexctasy wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 11:24 pmWith as well heard as ckww is across metro Detroit during all hours, I have a hard time believing it's only running 500w.

Their endfire four-tower array concentrates its beam not only northeast, but at the horizon as well.
I'll take a guess that you're either near Lake St. Clair or in the Pointes.

Re: CKWW
Macomb County is very good for both CKWW 580 and CKLW 800.

Re: CKWW
No, I don't I live near Wyandotte, on the Detroit River, right across from the CKWW towers.innate-in-you wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01, 2019 1:13 pmDo you live near Heydenreich and Hall roads?JGP1954 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 28, 2019 8:02 pmNo, my car radio was tuned to AM580 from the night before. It could have been some sort of feature. OR, CKWW was off the air for some short bit of time, and another distant station popped into the Detroit area. I listen to CKWW on a fairly regular basis. I work in Warren and drive on southbound I-75 through Detroit, and usually can hear CKWW, quite clearly.Jeff Dugan wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2019 10:22 pmFamily Life radio would never be on a Canadian station, you may have heard a Family life station from another state on 580 I've been tuned to CKWW this morning and again this evening and they're still oldies.
580+455=1035
WUFL is on 1030.
Many (used to be nearly all) AM receivers convert the signal to 455kHz and any further amplification is from that point.
