Been testing my new SW Beverage using the 1610 kHz channel. This channel is mostly (if not entirely) low power stations - including the TIS services. I have one about 25 miles SW of me for the Tillam

I do the same here. My Beverages run through a dense redwood forest, and stuff falls on them during storms. 73, Jim K9YC _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - To
I thought those roadside TIS stations are on 530 khz, Larry. Are they also on 1610? Anyway, thanks for sharing! 73 Mike W0BTU _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband
Hi Mike, Think again :) 1610 is by far the most popular Travellers Information Station (TIS) frequency, followed by 530 kHz, then by many frequencies above 1610 kHz There are twelve TIS stations in M
I'm not following the reasoning here. How are listeners never fighting noise below 1710 kc? In some cases noise (or by noise are we thinking of QRM?) is worse on medium wave broadcast channels becau

Tnx for clarification. Hi, I guess I was thinking of RFI from appliances and arcing contacts on power lines. 73 Rob K5UJ _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - To
Any BCB radio with a ferrite bar antenna can usually null out power line "noise", etc. Of course, that noise/QRN is not the proverbial Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Maybe you meant to say "no
Where is the place to see active 1610 stations - I used to hear the one for Sky Harbour A/P here in Phoenix - but no more -hope not just further evidence of incredible increase in noise in last 5 yea
Hank, I don't quite understand your question. Obviously, it's on 1610. You looking for a list? 73 Mike W0BTU _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflec
Hi Hank, You can search for licensed TIS stations by state and frequency here, but just because they're licensed doesn't mean they're on the air... www.fcc.gov/media/radio/travelers-information-stati
You might also check: https://www.ircaonline.org/editor_upload/File/TIS_2020.pdf IRCA is a MW DXers' club with a number of people who actively try to receive these flea power stations. 73 Nick VE7DXR
You can find some of them in the FCC database, but the one nearest me doesn't seem to be in the list. https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/am-query Just click the single frequency box and enter 1610. Tree
Nick - very nice list!! However, once again, it doesn't seem to list the one near me. Seems like some of these might be operating without a proper license? Tree _________________ Searchable Archives:
Starting earlier this spring and for the last few months both Nick and a few others have piqued my interest in MW BCB DXing and listening to these low-power TIS stations. I have found that a reliable
Thanks to all - guess I will call someone local who can tear themselves away from FT8 long enough to check 1610 and see if they can hear it -at least I now know the license is still active Hank K7HP
Here's a great search link for US AM, FM, and TV stations (not including short wave). Searching on 1610 kHz with no geographic limit yields 19 listings, some of which are for the same station day and
I have observed that airport related TIS seem to be going away for lack of public interest. The one for LAX was decommissioned more than 10 years ago. It takes regular daily time and effort from a du
