I had my doubts about hearing WBOB here in Central Connecticut, but I
stayed up anyway and was rewarded with a new log entry.
I began hearing WBOB at 0516 UTC and monitored 600 kHz until 0605 UTC.
During that time I heard voice and Morse Code station ID's, as well as,
music (the "Price is Right" theme song), a variety of tone sweeps and
telephone busy signals. WBOB was competing with local WICC and an
unidentified Spanish station, but I managed to hear "something" from
WBOB most of the 49 minutes I monitored 600 kHz. I recorded about ten
minutes of the test with my iPad.
I used an Elecraft KX3 with an 80-meter inverted Vee dipole most of the
time, but the signal was so good that I tried listening with my C.Crane
Skywave receiver using its stock internal antenna and heard a voice ID
loud and clear.
Great Fun!
