Utah Hockey Club, 1280 AM on Northern Utah WebSDR Yellow. #KZNS Salt Lake City monitored from 80 miles north in Corrine, UT.

The KZNS 1280 web call is blacked out (because reasons? money? there's a way to pay for listening to hockey on the radio?)

Tied with the Maple Leafs with 5 minutes left in the 3d period.

KZNS is 50 kilowatts during the day, but only 670 watts at night. I hear another station underneath the hockey broadcast but the announcers win the contest.

Cory #W3JL runs a KiwiSDR in Ohio (EN91) outside of Cleveland, which means it's an excellent listening post to pick up #WTAM 1100 broadcasting spring training baseball. Listening to the Guardians take on the Diamondbacks. Thanks Cory!

I should be able to pick up AM 1100 in SE Michigan, and my usual local SDR "misdr" just north of here has a pretty fair signal. I can catch the signal at home on my Youloop but it sounds better via remotes.

Seattle Mariners spring training #baseball on #KIRO AM 710. Home opener 22 days away against the A's. Listening on a KiwiSDR on Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor WA.

Spring training is an opportunity to make sure your baseball DX stations are dialed in for remote KiwiSDR listening during the season.

710 AM is weak on my home SDR, but I get #WOR 710 New York on KiwiSDR "misdr2" nearby. The adjacent channel #WLW 700 Cincinnati is considerably stronger here in SE Michigan.

Rooting for the team with the best reception

It's pretty good this year, with 3 of 4 teams still in play with home team broadcasts I can pick up locally.

The detail that I missed when it happened was the deal that led to the end of all-news WCBS-AM 880; that station is now ESPN New York as WHSQ 880. I'm relying on Wikipedia and this NYTimes story to figure out the scorecard and the players.

Thanks to the #kiwisdr network I am happy to have the home team call for tonight's #baseball games from the flagship AM radio stations for the teams.

Some notes on listening to #baseball on far-away AM radio stations, with the help of the #kiwisdr listening network and the "gollnk" bookmarking scheme that I use with @tailscale .

this year's writeup notes that games are shorter.

Fun fact, the Orioles played the Angels on opening day in 1961.

Anthony Randon takes the first pitch fastball on the inside corner for a strike, 0-1.

Corbin Burnes strikes out Randon in the first at bat.
