SINPO: 54455
I tuned into a very strong transmission of WTIC with a time check from Bill Pierce, station ID, traffic report for East Hartford and environs, a brief sports report, and a weather forecast with "summer-like conditions" read by Steve Chapron. The "Clark Howard Show" followed with a discussion of innovative technologies in America, such as iPhones, Android phones, and the cellular networks.
Though the signal was strong, there was noticeable interference in the background (but mostly drowned out) with minor noise, but no fading.

Here is a virtual screenshot of the receiver (actually an ICOM PCR-1000
with a Wellbrook ALA 1530 antenna aimed southward)

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.
