I heard FCC got them.k8jd wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2020 5:17 pmUrban radio pirates seem to favor the FM band, there was one operating in Pontiac , MI for many months . heard over a large portion of Oakland co, one day they just STOPPED. It is pretty easy to put up an effective antenna system, for 87-108 MHz.
Maybe it was on the roof of a tall apartment building.
AM antenna, not so easy.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through June 3 at 5:00p ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

Re: MW DX Tonight
WC8KCY, based on my experience, most likely that "Mexican" station on 640 was Radio Progreso, a 50K from Havana. It is a music station that broadcasts in Spanish. Back in the 70's it was an easy pull on winter nights in Detroit. Another Cuban blaster was 830 CMCA (Radio Havana, Cuba). It was a full-service station that played Salsa/Caribbean music, but the announcers spoke English. Hope that answers your question.

OK, that adds up. I did hear very sporadic weather forecasts and phone numbers from Florida while going up and down the dial, in addition to the positively-IDed Texas stations.Radiobingoking wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 2:48 pmWC8KCY, based on my experience, most likely that "Mexican" station on 640 was Radio Progreso, a 50K from Havana.

Re: MW DX Tonight
There is so much Spanish programming around here , it's hard to separate it from the DX
Maybe 5 or 6 All Spanish speaking AM broadcast stations in daytime range of Detroit ! More on a part time basis.
