WBZ-Loud and Clear plus UNID

[radioman148]

WBZ has had a good night-time signal in southwestern Ohio for many years.  Their signal even made it harder to hear KDKA (1020-AM) from Pittsburgh.  I always wished there was more sports play-by-play on WBZ, but all I recall hearing over the years were Patriots' games at night (which were basically pre-season games).   

WBZ has always been the best east coast signal for me here in the Chicago area. I used to check WBZ first to see how well DX from the east was back in my early DX days.

From here in eastern Ontario, there are times during the winter when you can faintly hear WBZ during the day.

That's happened a few times here in the midwest around the winter solstice, WBZ, WHAM, & some of the NYC 50KWs have come in on those occasions.

1030 here in Memphis has been silenced by the great flood of 2011. They have a STA filed with the FCC.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Can WBZ/KDKA be heard in kentucky??

[vibe]

listened to WBZ near Cedar Rapids IA 3 years back or so.  Came in about as well as WHO.   WBZ was much weaker in SE IA (near Ft. Madison) with WHO much stronger.
Can't remember about KDKA>>>

Can WBZ/KDKA be heard in kentucky??

When I was in college in south-central Kentucky in the 1960's, I remember being able to pick up KDKA quite easily at night.  I don't recall listening to WBZ, but that's not to say you couldn't.

Can WBZ/KDKA be heard in kentucky??

To pick up on what Cincinnati Kid stated, both stations are are regularly heard in Kentucky from sunset to sunrise. Neither are heard during the daylight hours.

In the less cluttered, low electronic interference past, WBZ had a huge and reliable signal throughout the midwest. I used to listen to them almost nightly back when they played R&R in the evenings. For me, Bruce Bradley (WBZ) was far superior to Bruce Morrow (WABC).

Days, I doubt if KDKA reaches anywhere in Kentucky, as the ground conductivity from Pittsburgh to Eastern Kentucky is very low thanks to the Appalachian Mountains. WBZ hasn't a prayer of daytime groundwave to Kentucky.

I too listen to Bruce Bradley on WBZ back in the 60s in the Chicago area. WBZ had & still has the best east coast signal here.
I did pick up WBZ on the west coast several times in the 60s before Casper, Wy came on.
