I was trying to get stable TV reception from the inside of an apartment building that is only 0.10 from another building that has those cell phone antennas on the roof. They came in off and on. I was using an inexpensive amplified antenna. I am wondering if a passive antenna + an LTE filter would wo...

The nighttime interference on 580 is making their signal useless where I live tonight. I don't recall that being much of a problem in the past.

The clay soil in the township just to the south of Sarnia has high ground conductivity. 700 WLW from Cincinnati comes in during the daytime on a sensitive radio. Based on a map I saw it appears that 590 VOCM on the East Coast can be picked in SW Greenland if you are close enough to the salt water.

CFPL-FM in London had Progressive Rock starting at Midnight as early as 1972. That was the same year that 1570 CHLO had a similar format to what WRIF had at the time. https://broadcasting-history.ca/radio/radio-stations/ontario/ontario-south-western/cfpl-fm/ https://broadcasting-history.ca/radio/rad...

It is indeed a big waste to try to cover an area as large as a whole Metro with translators, but they are going to do it anyway.

I could see WCSX-HD-2 + the FM relays switching to Oldies if CKWW becomes something else next year.

The old I.F. image situation. WHLS Port Huron did it to CBEF when it was on 540 where in my area (no loss for me because it was French). In Guelph, Ontario their local signal on 1460 AM must do the same thing to WGR from Buffalo. I found that portable Sony radios could ignore it because they also us...

I heard a Florida radio station on AM for the first time in my location. It was 600 WBOB from Jacksonville. Right now, the Chicago station on 890 is missing and I'm hearing Spanish instead. At night solar flares tend to do this to the ionosphere every so often. https://www.space.com/enormous-sunspot...

One of the radio stations might play music during the daytime and have multilingual programming in the evenings. This is what CFMS in Markham does.

The possible sale has just been mentioned in the Hamilton Newspaper. If approved, Neeti P. Ray hopes to take control of the three radio stations by April. https://www.thespec.com/business/hamilton-region/change-in-the-works-for-hamilton-radio-landscape-as-toronto-broadcaster-looks-to-buy-am/article_...

There is no threaded twist on connector for 75 ohm on the receiver. GND is the ground for coaxial cable and to other post is for the copper center of the cable. A 1:1 transformer can be used. I know they exist because a terk antenna I bought at a stores surplus dept. included one. The machine wire w...

This antenna might work in the attic. If not, it will work outside if it's high enough. It looks like the back of the receiver has a 75 ohm connection, so some coaxial cable and a 75 ohm to 300 ohm transformer will be needed.

In New York State there will be no groundwave overlap between WTOR and WABC. Close to Dusk and Dawn WABC will be heard under WTOR in Ontario.

After reading about this on another board, it is possible that AM 580 will continue to do what it does now for 85 % of the time each broadcast day.
