Thanks. Now I know they were referring to Tafftville. Sometimes I have no clue about the pronunciations of places because of the traditional New England dialect.
All those stations are are in Eastern CT. Even within new england the accent changes. Most of those on the eastern side of the state you start to get the typical rhode island accent. station R ledyard is a border town to rhode island

Interesting signal on 35.140 / 156.7 tone today - WRFM852 in Monticello, Florida - Base unit talking to a mobile (which was heard at one point) with lots of talk of signal coverage and general chat about how radio works. Not the first time I've heard this one. Had a look at the FCC licence and then looked for the owner who is - no big shock - a radio ham - runs an audio visual business. He gives nice clear full FCC id's at the end of a conversations. One to look out for.

The skip started of around 9:45 am with the spanish taxis. After 12pm my time the CHP and the super bowl idiots with their break breaks. Most of the afternoon I had to listen to that awfully annoying jabber jaw station all over the band. I think I heard her say KCT227 at 10:27 left coast time.


Merry X-mas.

He worked at the same place I did before he retired.
