Hello,

Yesterday NO AM from the USA heard, bad conditions.
Evenso BC am station very weak!

Yesterday evening around 23.30 hour by me...
I heard weak AM signals on 3875 khz, but to weak to copy names/calls.

This morning I hear 'weak to fair' AM stations on 3885 khz.
But weak to fair and most many fading, on +/- 06.50 by me:
A man talking with Joe about a BC 610, but his call ?
The BC am stations, 1130 & 1510, weak signals.

Good dx,

Hello AM Lovers,

Last days (weeks!) bad conditions on mw and 80 mtrs.
Sometimes I can hear very weak AM audio between 3870 - 3885 khz.
For me not possible to get names or calls.

But I am surprised about the mw BC on 590 khz.
Often I can hear this BC station with a weak to fair signal?!

Maybe comming days better AM results from the USA.
Because there is now lying some snow in The Netherlands.

Hello AM Lovers,

May I ask you this?
Which BC station is on 590 khz?
I am wondering about the reception from this BC early mornings.
Like this morning, this station were good (strong!) to hear!!
At 06.30 hour (by me!) I hear a short newsflash.
With a few commercials and later many Christmas music.
It souding like an easy-listening-music-station.

I think, not sure! , it is: 590 khz CAN VOCM, Saint Johns
Just I found this on Internet.... so I think I hear often this station!

When I hear a (little) stationcall, for me to fast to get the stationname.
If I can, I try to make in the future a recoding, but...
Early mornings I must hurry up... to get on time on my work.
Then I have 'no time to walk to' & 'listen in my studio'.... sorry!

Maybe some of you have any idea about this station,

Henk, pe1mph

Nice Christmas and a GOOD 2013,

Hello AM Lovers,

Last night +/- 04.30 hour (by me!) I heard some AM stations.
On 3875 khz from the usa, weak to fair signals.

This morning good conditions on mw.
The BC stations on 1130 & 1510 khz were good to receive!
Till +/- 09.45 hour (by me!) I could hear them, with slow fading.
Funny when BC on 1130 were down in fading then BC on 1510 khz were up!

I wish you all a GOOD 2013!

Hello,

Good conditions last days on mw and 80 mtrs.
Mostly every morning I can hear:

- 590, 1130, 1620 (2 or 3 on the same freq.) and 1660 khz BC stations.

- Mondaymorning I heard Steve (WA1QIX) loud & clear on 3885 & 3880 khz.

- This morning (Wednesday) I heard a man talking on 3885 khz.
He made a few 'long' transmissions, but I could not copy name or call.
His signale were in a 'heavy fading', max. S2 by me.
So I have no idea who he was this morning....

Good dx,

PE1MPH, Henk, Dokkum, The Netherlands

[pe1mph]

the 1660 station has to be WWRU in Jersey City, NJ. Only one on that frequency running a fair amount of power at night on the east coast (10 KW, which is the limit in the expanded band).

Hello,
This morning I heard again the BC on 1660 khz, with good signal!
Ofcourse some slow fading, but good to receive.
For me it is a problem to hear the stationname (WWRU?) clearly!
I heard 'commercials' and 'soft-pop-music', between 06.25 - 06.50 hour by me.

Hello AM Lovers,
This morning good conditions on mw!
The following BC stations I heard with good signals:
590, 1130, 1510 very strong!, 1620 3 stations? and 1660 khz.
I tried... but I could not copy the stationcall on 1660 khz.
I heard on 1660 khz soft-pop-music.

And on 3875 khz I heard AM stations talking.
But on the same freq. I heard often (sounding like) rtty noise/signals?
So for me no change to copy from those names or calls, sorry.

Hello AM Lovers,
This morning I awake early and I listen shortly to 80 mtrs.
It were around 04.00 by me in the morning...

I heard some AM stations on 3875 and 3885.
But I am not 100% sure if I heard WA1QIX on 3875 khz.
Because those stations talking quick/fast, but with fair to good signals!
Hi, hi... I remember one sad: 'I take a shower....'!

Later in the morning, around 06.30 hour by me, I heard (new!) BC on:
- 1560 khz
- 1470 khz
- 1410 khz

I were wondering about the station on 1560, so good I heard it!
Maybe I heard: WQEW (1560 kHz), playing soft-pop-music with some talk.

WQEW, Queens NY 50KW Radio Disney.  Used to be a good classical station when it was WQXR, and later with an "American Popular Standards" format.  Now it's just pop drivel for for kids.
