All Continental US States - 2022
|
Johnny
Hi all,
I'm trying to hear all US states in the continental US in 2022. Don't know how far I'll get but I've made some decent progress so far. :) Anyone else doing this or have already done it? Johnny |

Hi Paul,
Was cruising along quite quickly at first... 24 States! But now it has gotten more difficult as the states are further and further away.... J |

Well done. I have been a bit slow with starting my DXing for 2022, my work on MWDXerDB has taken up most of my spare time. Hi Paul, |

Johnny, Here's an OLD post (January 29, 1992!) from a Google group about hearing 50 states on AM/MW. Note that many of these stations have since changed call-signs, but I believe most of them are still around as of March, 2022:  Douglas W.

Hi Johnny The list is only relevant for one particular location. Your local stations may block reception of distant States.
Outside the US it is a different problem all together – but still almost achievable.
Here for example is the target list from the UK.

Hi Steve
Wow, I was totally unaware that such a list existed! Now that I have something to search for I may change my listening habits a bit 😊. Very many thanks for that Drifter p.s. Are you in the UK? |

Hi Fen Drifter
Glad you found it useful. It does need a bit of updating which I hope will happen soon.
Yes I’m in the UK. If your handle indicates where you located I’m only about 100 miles north of you (near York).
This year listeners in the UK have had real difficulty hearing anything from the western half of the USA. Sadly, propagation conditions have largely not been favourable.

apart from a few UK and European stations. We should long since have realised how valuable MW is for public information in a crisis. I can no longer receive local news since Auntie shut down the only transmitter which can reach parts that others cannot reach - coasts and valleys. Internationally, SW can be even more useful, but few have access - or even know it exists! The BBC is struggling to revive facilities to broadcast into eastern Europe now. Our recent storms should have enlightened us that the mobile phone network we take for granted is very vulnerable. We should learn from history, but... In the US broadcast band is still going strong. May it remain so! Michael On 08/03/2022 22:14, FenDrifter via

Hi I’m not sure if you are still looking for your first trans-atlantic signals. From the Uk I’d suggest looking at 590kHz around 10pm onwards to try for VOCM from Newfoundland. At UK sunrise look for WBBR 1130 for New York.
Good luck Steve

We could try the same in each country? Each person tries to log as many areas as they can.

Hi Steve
Yes, as far as I’m aware (😊) I am still looking for my first trans-Atlantic. I’ll certainly try for VOCM but I don’t often see sunrise these days! I really appreciate your input here, thanks. |

Hi Michael
I’m in agreement with all you say, particularly about Spain, on the few occasions I’ve listened to MW lately it’s definitely been prevalent! And the one thing history teaches us is that man doesn’t learn from his mistakes! Drifter |

Hi Issac
I think that’s a great idea, because it will make the group more interesting to members of any country. It would add a bit of friendly competition perhaps, although personal satisfaction is my own goal, I’m far too old to enter competition 😊. Drifter |
