What do you all get on 1090 AM? Here in Vermilion, OH during the day it is mainly just IBOC noise from WTAM 1100/Cleveland. I did hear a station on 1090 underneath the hash of WTAM around 2PM one day late last winter but wasn't able to ID it. At night I have heard a faint UNid station. I figured I would hear WBAL/Baltimore at night but I have never been able to ID them.

Northern VA,
On days, it's almost local WBAL
At night, it's WBAL with a weaker signal.

Near north Chicago suburbs it's WKBZ during the day and KAAY at night. Critical hours it's WBAL.

The OP's mention of WTAM hash has me wondering....what about the 1090 in Livonia/Detroit? Do they have a hiss in the background 24/7?

WCAR/Livonia, MI sends almost all of their signal to the north. I haven't been able to positively ID them from here but any station that does show up on 1090 gets clobbered by WTAM's IBOC (when it's on which is 95% of the time) from here. The few times WTAM didn't have IBOC on, I would hear splatter from them with a weak station on 1090 which, again I haven't been able to catch an ID. I will be checking 1090 more. |

Dayton OH area: WKFI Wilmington days (but highly directional away from the bulk of the Dayton area)...' simulcasts with 1500 Xenia and 1110 Eaton)
Sunset: KAAY (while I was growing up north of Dayton, and KAAY was still a top 40 station, I'd get about an hour of KAAY before their sunset before pattern change).
Nights: WBAL

1090 in Bothell/Bellevue, WA is local KPTK Seattle (Progressive Talk), day and night. At night, I can get XEPRS Tijuana in the null of KPTK, and once in Bothell, WA heard KBOZ Bozeman, MT with a TOH ID.

Far northwest suburbs of Chicago....
Day: Empty most of the time. I'm too far west for WKBZ. Used to be WGLC from Mendota, IL. But that's been dark for years.
Night: Mostly KAAY...a shadow of what it was in its top 40 days. Occasionally WBAL rides in around sunrise or sunset when it's on full power.
