Zichi) Newsgroups: rec.radio.shortwave Subject: MW AM Stereo station list Date: 8 Aug 1993 00:10:42 GMT Organization: St. Elizabeth Hospital, Youngstown, OH Lines: 56 Message-ID: <241ga2$nmh@news.ysu.edu> Reply-To: aj092@yfn.ysu.edu (Kenneth V. Zichi) NNTP-Posting-Host: yfn.ysu.edu I just bought a MCS (sold at JC Penney) model 3050 AM Stereo / FM Stereo tuner. (Found it at a pawn shop for $30 and I couldn't pass it up!) This is the first time I have had any time to play with AM stereo and I was surprised at the number of stations in my area that ARE in stereo. This inspired the following list. I imagine I'llw3 also put one together for routinely heard Stereo signals after dark too, but this will have to keep you busy for now .... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- MW AM Stereo stations audable from Central Lower Michigan -- August 1993 I have seen practically NOTHING about AM Stereo for quite some time, and I figured this may spark some interest! I will be updating this list as time passes, so any additional information -- or your version based on reception from your QTH is appreciated. This is list is far from complete! It represents those stations that EASILY trip the stereo decoder in my MCS Model 3050 receiver with an indoor air-core loop. If you have info contrary to this list, please contact me at bz649@Cleveland.Freenet.edu.
