[NJARC] Oldies station in Ontario

[extrablues at nyc.rr.com]

In New York City over the last few days I was able to pull in decent signals from WTAM Cleveland, WBAL Baltimore and Federal News Radio in DC. I know it's not a big deal for alot of Jersey people but I'm also able to get a fairly decent signal from WMTR. I agree though, CHML and Zoomer Radio AM 740 have been on the weak side these days.

I have seen that within the last 3 weeks or so, the stations from the “great white north” AM 740, AM 900, and others have not been as strong as usual. Even WKBW-1520 in Buffalo has not been the usual powerhouse. The funny thing is that the stations from the southern US has been unusually strong. WSB-750 in Atlanta has been stronger than AM 740 in Toronto. Another surprise was Monday night while tuning around, Radio Reloj was super strong at AM-790 like I never heard it that strong before. My last 2 weeks DX listening was done on a 6 tube RCA 16T4 radio with a 300 ohm old school twin lead strung out the window 50 foot long, 15 foot high in the backyard. My other antennas are currently grounded due to a storm traveling through the area as I type.
