  1. @croyle One thing to keep in mind is that, depending on your setup, you might be able to receive some very distant & unexpected AM programs. I've enjoyed participating in some of the DX challenges put out by #DXcentral such as #DXCentralMWfrequencyChallenge & the #DXCentralSummerOfDX. It's fun to try to find new stations; and in the process, I discovered quite a few worthwhile regional & syndicated programs that I never would've heard otherwise. See my #KE0FFTam posts for some of my results.

  2. Anyone out there listen to #AMradio ? I bought a Select-A-Tenna and tried it out for the first time today. I was impressed! #AMdx #AMband #AMlistening #KE0FFT #KE0FFTam #Radio #SelectATenna

  7. #WRVA out of Richmond, Virginia, as heard in Olney, Illinois on Saturday, February 17th, 2024 at 2130CST / 2230EST. Distance: 592mi. Of course the signal would fade right at the half-hour mark, but I did get a station ID at the end of the clip. Enjoying some #AMlistening tonight on the back porch with some of my wife’s delicious, home-made corn chowder. #KE0FFTam #KE0FTT #AMdx #AMradio #TecsunS2000

  12. So part of the rest of the story from this morning is that I apparently had hit the “reset” button on the radio by mistake at some point the last time I used it.

    I haven’t even used the radio in wide band mode since I got it, so I hadn’t noticed it was in WB yet here (but of course it is, and that’s why I was receiving that freq 10kHz up).

    The bigger problem was…

  13. 0855UTC Still working on goal-oriented AM listening for DX Central’s MW Frequency Challenge (Week 6: 690-720kHz) ~ (DX Challenges .com). I hear two stations fading in & out on 710AM depending on how I position the #TecsunS2000 “internal” rotatable AM antenna. With ends oriented NW to SE - I intermittently pick up C2C AM on WOR out of NYC, NY w/ a strong sig ~ Dist: 755mi. If it’s oriented SW to NE , I get a talk-show on an unknown station - #AMDX #DX #KE0FFTam #DXCentralMWfrequencyChallenge

  19. Tonight I was in Omaha, NE - listening to ESPN Radio out of Minneapolis / St. Paul Minnesota on KSTP 1500AM (ClearChannel 50kW) on the #CountyCommGP5SSB

    Distance: Approx: 300mi / 483km. Not an overly impressive distance but it was fun to try to figure out what station it actually was. #AMDX #TruckerHamRadioDial #KE0FFTam #KE0FFT
