I thought I would tune to 1090 tonight (Saturday, Oct. 16, 2021) at about 8:30 PM and I received a fairly decent signal. There is no way that WCAR could be back up and running but I thought I would listen for a while until I could identify what I was hearing. It turns out that what I was receiving was KAAY-AM 1090 in Little Rock, Arkansas.

I also received KAAY, although I had trouble identifying it. Good catch.

I remember when KAAY was listenable at night at Platte Lake (Benzie co), but was undetectable at my home near Cadieux and I-94 in Detroit.

That was some cutoff, since KAAY's azimuth was not that far off.

Yep, eventually those rodents jump across a hot capacitor and up in smoke goes your HV power supply and transmitter. Thanks to the shipping situation, you can't even buy a POS import transmitter and get it in 6 months anymore, you might actually have to buy something decent from the USA or Canada! Imagine that?
