With CINF and CINW off the air I have been sitting on 690 and 940 when skywave is good. I haven't had much luck on 690 due to WLW's IBOC buzzsaw. But on 940 I have been hearing a station. I finally took the time to listen for an ID and turns out its WGRP. I heard the phrase "Classic Country 940 and 1470" between songs and made out the call letters of their ID.
Even though 940 is really clear since CINW signed off, I have a hard time believing a 2 watt signal is traveling the almost 300 miles to my stock antenna on my Sony XDR-F1HD. The signal sounded pretty weak, but it would peak at 1 bar of signal and get somewhat clear although still pretty quiet.
Does anybody know if WGRP still runs at only 2 watts at night? Everything on file with the FCC shows they do. This was around midnight, so their 1000kw daytime signal should have been turned off for a while now.
Unfortunately I don't have anything good to record AM with since my tape deck died, computers just add too much noise, so I don't have a recording.
