AM Frequency of The Week: 710

[Dxer1105]

In southern new jersey, I usually get WOR with that cuban under it

In the SF Bay Area, KFIA is a semi-local station, but if I travel far enough from the transmitter, I can hear KSPN underneath.

Here in tampa, it's the same thing day or night.

WAQI from Miami battling it out with that Cuban station.

Dxer1105, I just now saw your post.

I'm originally from south Jersey and I can often remember hearing Spanish speaking stations in the background of WNBC (WFAN), WOR, WABC, and WCBS.

There were some occasional times where the the Cuban would have the equal strength of WCBS.

Here in Tampa, WCBS by far comes in the strongest at night of all the NYC stations, though the Cuban can sometimes almost completely take it over at times.

There are 3 stations I've picked up on 710.

The most common is KSPN Los Angeles 197 miles from Clovis CA, the second one would be KFIA Carmichael (Sacramento) CA 165 miles, and KIRO Seattle 743 miles away.

Either KFIA or KIRO, tfc.

One of those my be possible, more likely KIRO... but I've heard Spanish under KSPN at night.  I doubt it'd be Cuba, though, as 250kW XEW 900 in Mexico City barely makes it over the noise floor here (but then I should mention I'm 9.3 miles from a 5kW station on 910), I believe Cuba is considerably farther than Distrito Federal, and I find skip is stronger for me at the upper end of the band.  (My most distant english-language regular is 1520 KOKC Oklahoma City, usually with a weak to fir signal.)

Most likely the Spanish station is KMIA 710 in Phoenix. They run ESPN Deportes I believe.

From West Michigan:

CJRN, Niagara Falls (ON)
WFNR, Blacksburg (VA)
WOR, New York (NY)
Radio Rebelde (Cuba)
KEEL, Shreveport (LA)

These are all fairly regular here at night with the exception of Blacksburg, heard once around my local sunrise.

While DXing at Cape Hatteras, I noted at least two different Rebelde's on 710, each slightly out of sync with each other.  MWlist.org has four different Radio Rebelde's listed on 710.

In Texas about 80 miles southeast of Dallas, daytime is Shreveport's KEEL with a fairly decent signal.  At night it's a mixture of KGNC Amarillo (usually on top) and KCMO Kansas City, with just a hint of KEEL.

KIRO day and night. During the day it's very weak here (and often being jammed by our "friends" at the Clark County P.U.D.) but still audible, albeit barely. Sounds better at night.
