1440 Worcester
At Thanksgiving-time around dusk one day, while driving south from York, PA, to Baltimore, I picked up a signal which I swore was 1440 from Worcester, relaying WEEI. I made a mental note of it and thought I'd check back again at another time to see if I could pick it up at critical hours.
Lo and behold, I'm driving into Lancaster, PA, this afternoon at about 5:40, and I started hearing what I thought was Glen Ordway's voice in the background. By the time I had gotten off the highway, at 5:45, 1440 was coming in solidly, the strongest station on a busy channel. Five minutes later, their signal faded away.
Is this an unusual catch? Does their pattern beam southwest during critical hours? (I thought they may be non-directional, though.) Lancaster is probably 325 miles by road from Worcester, maybe 300 or so air miles.
