Good ! I was checking the aerial and all the cables this morning. I was sure there was something wrong it was so bad !

Thanks VERY much for this.

I luckily still had my recordings and have now logged most of these.

I wouldn't have stood a chance of picking out the IDs without your log.

Thanks again.

Yes. That's the offset. It was extreme luck to get an ID when it peaked and KDKA was low.

Regular Japanese

One I've been trying to ID for ages. I get a signal regularly, but no sign of an ID due to KDKA.

Finally got an ID today at 04:58'54 followed by Cuban national anthem

It's Radio Nacional de la Republica Arabe Saharaui Democratica (or something along those lines). The same anthem is a regular at closedown c2300z

Sorry John. I can't make anything out.

I have possibly the same station, very weak on and off. The best is at 02:42'43 and all I can make out is what sounds like "...da de corazon".

John - I hope you've still got your recording. Can you check just before 03:05 ? At 03:05'08 I have "on the Sportstalk Radio Network." That came just after a fade and a file break. It was followed by local high school sports news from South Carolina. There is a Sportstalk Radio Network in SC and WQX...

And as if to prove my USA / Mexico combo - Just before 0800 a jingle and ID for Radio Formula Femina. 2 pfs for me.

I'm surprised that there haven't been some tips from this morning. I've only just got around to checking and have only looked at the top of the band so far and nearly every frequency has an enhancement between about 0530 and 0730. Some of the usuals went to local strength, but other frequencies had ...

Yes. There are a few snatches of audio on the 770 carrier, but nothing anywhere near identifiable. 680 is wall to wall WRKO from about 21:30 last night with the occasional CFTR in the mix.

Initial indications are rubbish here

Thanks David. I suppose it is possible that they might use a slogan in English.

Or a fast fading WMVP and a rapidly rising urban noise as it's known in Cardiff ! Thanks anyway David

Anybody know who could be identifying as "1590 Pure Hits" on, you've guessed it.... 1590 ?

I heard the slogan at 07:43'13. Not perfectly clear, but sounds like "1590 (repeated) Pure Hits".

"Someone you loved" by Lewis Capaldi was played before.

Thank John. Another that got away, I'm afraid. I was wondering about WBEL from a combination of possible call and format, but it just isn't clear enough.

And another new one for me

1470 - Esperanza Colombia Radio - Good ID at 06:00'37

I haven't had much chance to listen , but

1590 Emisora BBN
1580 Radio Maria and
1560 Santa Maria de la Paz (This one a PF))

all coming through quite strong around 0500

I hear W240EH Evanston, which appears to be WCGO.

This one came in between 21:57 and 22:45 on 15th. Mostly music including "Every Girl in this Town" by Trisha Yearwood (So probably Country or possibly AC)

ID and jingle at 22:21, but it's a tough one.

Any ideas ?
