Dit Dit Dit Dah WTIC AM 1080

 


WTIC is easily used to set watches on the eastern coast because (since 1943) it sends the  Morse Code letter "V" at the top of every hour. The letter "V" represents "Victory during WW2" and is also the theme of Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

AM 570 - CUBA

 



 

Cuba lost their electricity a few days ago but last night they were back online and booming into West Virginia. I was hearing the "tone" at the top of the minute followed by their charistic "RR".

WTAW College Station TX- AM 1620


    

Looking back over my logbook, I discovered three different stations on my 1620 frequency. They were Texas, Florida, and St. Croix in the Virgin Islands.  Although it's been a few years time span, this just goes to show how propagation can make all the difference in the world.
