WBZ

Boston, Massachusetts

1030 kHz (AM)

50 kW (unlimited)
Directional antenna at all hours

Monitored on the Global Tuners receiver in Boutiliers Point, Nova Scotia

at 0542 (UTC) = 1:42 AM (Eastern)

Thursday, October 6, 2011 (Eastern)

SINPO: 34333

I tuned in to WBZ and heard advertisements for Bay State Savings Bank, the Law Offices of Spano and Dawicki, Rhino Shield of New England, and Energy Star.  This was followed by a station ID, "WBZ News Radio 1030", a time check, and then back to Steve LaVeille's talk radio show about technology following Steve Jobs' passing away.
                                    

The signal was moderate, and although there was little interference from any other stations, both background noise and fading were present.

 A short clip of the transmission with station ID can be accessed here.
(May need to increase the volume control on your computer.)

The station’s web site is linked here.

Here is a virtual screenshot of the receiver (actually an ICOM PCR-1000
with a loop antenna aimed for NE/SW signals -- see signal path below)

Here is a map showing the distance from transmitter to receiver (click to enlarge):

I sent a request for a QSL via U.S. mail on October 11, 2011.
I will post it here as soon as it arrives.
