[NJARC] Skywaves' DX Tips - 1

Wed Jan 25 01:22:22 EST 2017

Listened to 600am and 670am ~12:20am 1/25/17. Caught a woman speaking 
Spanish on both freq's, sounded like the same voice(?). Then heard a 
man's voice on both freq's but the signal from WSCR Chicago buried 670.

Tried nulling Chicago out with some success but could not confirm the 
simulcast signal on both freq's again. Around 12:40 I heard two Spanish 
stations on 670, tuned to 600 and there were now two Spanish stations there.

Finally grabbed a second radio and hoped to hear the same voice/music on 
both freq's as you pointed out. For a moment 600 had music coming in 
pretty loud before it faded and I think I did hear the same "horn" sound 
on 670 after 600 faded. Frustrating with so many stations trying to 
claim the same freq. But this may be the 1st time I've logged Cuba in 
ages. No go on 750am, Toronto 740 and Atlanta 750 were too strong.
