We're approaching the finish line in our DX journey up the radio dial, but still a few channels to go. So the question this week is what comes out of your radio when the dial is set to 1510?
Here, northwest of Chicago, as I posted in another thread just last week, there's a 23kw on 1510, just about 60 miles north of me (WRRD). But I'm right in the path of a very deep null, so I never hear it. Instead, I get a very weak signal from WWHN in Joliet, IL. 1kw ND. Also about 60 miles from me. So David beats out Goliath,
WAUK is also part of another "David versus Goliath" scenario involving two sister stations serving the Milwaukee market. WRRD is co-owned with WAUK. WAUK's 400-watts (at 540) has a fair-good signal at my location, while the sister station with more than 50-times more power, WRRD, has no signal here at all!
Meanwhile, nighttime here is very simple. It's all WLAC. Usually with a good signal. Pretty much the same thing during critical hours as well.
