Re: My Christmas Present Has Arrived!

Picked up an AM in Iowa city on 1630. Listened to it for over an hour with sustained reception. I checked the station specs and saw that their nighttime ERP is all of 1KW. That's pretty impressive for a stick 600+ miles away with that little juice. Ah yes, KCJJ. I stopped by the station a few years...

Re: Your favorite Detroit airchecks from back in the day

A station that used to boom in at night into the motorcity from the windy city I listened to Michigan native John Landecker on WLS 890 . John at that time had 5 million listeners across a large portion of the US and Canada every evening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW_0RIcshz0&t=803s Another on...

Re: bidet and McReason.

It's hard to believe both of those idiots are gone. And in such short order, one after the other. I had become so weary of both of them, I had been seriously considering deleting my own account. Now, I think I might hang around for a while longer. Please do stay...I really enjoy reading your posts.

Re: You Be The Judge

Not seeing the contract, I'm guessing there is a clause about not performing illegal activity on Company property. By violating the providential law regarding 14-day quarantine when she came into work, she did so illegally and is subject to being fired.

Ex-employee will not be coming back.

Not local from Detroit, but from Chicago, Larry Lujack from WLS was heard in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Classic Country is going to be the new format according to insiders. Ha!
If going to a music format, I hope they will return to AM stereo. When they were oldies, I could get them in well in the St. Johns area in full stereo.

Re: 1660 Kalamazoo "The Fan" flips to Urban Format

I listened to WQLR 1660 briefly 3am Saturday as I was traveling through Kalamazoo. The station had a really good stereo sound with good separation. I also tuned in the translator on 95.5 for comparison. Separation was much better on 1660 and bass was deeper on the 95.5. It's too bad the car stereo c...

Re: Geocaching

My idea of geocaching is hunting for radio station towers. I get the coordinates from https://fccinfo.com/ and the format is in degrees, minutes (no decimal), and seconds. I have used various models of Garmins and they all are/were switchable between both formats mentioned. If you want to keep low-b...

Re: How Many Of You Played "The Chipmunk Song" 45 At 33 RPM?

I never had the 45 rpm version, but did have the album it was on. I listened to the album a few times at 16 rpm.

I wonder if there are any hidden messages when playing it backwards. :rollin

Re: 1660 Kalamazoo "The Fan" flips to Urban Format

Glad to hear 1660 has switched to music since they are in stereo. When I'm in the area I tune them in...the sports talk is mono, while their local commercials sounded great! I'll be passing through Saturday morning and will definitely be listening.

I have mentioned this before quite a while ago...I get SXM year round for free. I don't get all of the channels, just the ones that are unlocked at certain times throughout the year.
