[NJARC] WQEW 1560 AM off air - DX potential !!!

[Louis]

Last yr Disney Radio sold WQEW 1560AM (among other stations as they get 
rid of their terrestrial broadcast network) and as of Tuesday evening I 
noticed the station was off the air as the new owner, Family Radio, most 
likely is setting up shop.

DX potential here as the 50K signal no longer covers up dozens of other 
stations. So far I've not been able to catch any of the higher pwr 
stations like KGOW in TX, WAGL in SC or KLNG in IA. I did hear one faint 
daytime signal but no ID, sunset activity has not been productive so far.

I assume some/many of you are using home brewed loop antennae for AM 
broadcast band DXing. But does anyone use a plain ole, everyday, 
run-of-the-mill, garden variety antenna like the S-A-T or Terk? Just 
curious as to what type of antenna for broadcast band DXing is most 
common among the brethren, including amplified antennae like the Twin 
Coil Ferrite from C Crane. - Louis
