Re: CC Skywave for Christmas
Whatever digital receivers there were didn't sell - and only partly on account of cost. Consumers simply didn't understand the concept. Here it was sold as "High Definition" which really means nothing

Re: CC Skywave for Christmas
Thanks for the clarification! Strange that there should
be no receivers for AM digital:-) In the Old World few radios
are available - and none affordable - which receive DRM,
although DRM test

In the US, are there digital transmissions in the AM

1330 Spanish Soccer
0400Z to 0500Z Feb 24 here on SW SL Gulf coast heard Spanish language soccer broadcast in and out on 1330. Was never able to ID it. Any thoughts?

Re: 1330 kHz station, playing Jazz, Show Tunes, and music from the 1940s & 1950s.
They never ID. Right now they are playing "MacNamara's Band".
Thanks guys. I never suspected my Mystery Station could be WKTA Evanston, IL.
I’ve heard them before, but it’s when they are

The station is WKTA in Evanston, IL. I heard the exact music you describe on 1330 AM, up until 5:59 AM CST when they finally broadcast the station ID and changed over to Russian Programming.

If that's who this turns out to be ….it is WKTA Evanston, ILLINOIS 5 kW/110 Watts Nights.
I have heard them many times with ETHNIC Programming, but have never caught the Standards Music

Hi Vince, I think the station is here in the northern suburbs of Chicago. Not sure which suburban city. During the day they broadcast in Russian or Polish. But in the morning when I get up they are

Doing a quick format check of 1330 kHz in your wider area, Iowa-Boston-Virginia-Kentucky-Minneapolis and not coming up with anything outside some odd stuff on WRCA Boston. Checking Canada....

Digital AM/FM/SW radio/recorders
Hello, group,
I'm wondering if anyone here uses or has used any of the small DSP radios with digital recording/mp3 playback capabilities, and has one to recommend.
I had a DE1126 until last

Re: CC Skywave for Christmas
Wow! That Splains it!
Bruce, thanks for the information.
The WBZ HD spectrum picture certainly tells the tale.
I didn’t know HD signals hogged so much spectrum.
I wondered why IBOC hash,

Re: CC Skywave for Christmas
Yes. The most significant digital signals are +/- 10 to 15 kHz from the center frequency. Take a look at the RF spectrum FFT of WBZ HD here... http://www.bamlog.com/wbz.htm The image is annotated

Tuning slightly off-frequency with a narrow filter (2.3 kHz typ.) in AM mode is a trick I will often use to reduce adjacent signal interference including bothersome HD digital noise.
