Listening to Real Presence Radio 970 AM KQAQ Rochester (Austin)
The station has 5000W (500 nights) and 4 antennas. I can receive it well in my 6 year old car except when the road dips down, and by some electrical equipment. My cheap Sony clock/radio gets it with some background noise. My old 80W stereo receiver cannot receive it at all. A friend who has a ham radio, told me receiver manufacturers assumed customers would only listen to FM, and spent very little on the AM circuits. In the house, my favorite way to listen is to go to this website using my desktop computer-
https://yourcatholicradiostation.com/?station=6349
Hit the play arrow under Current News, Now Playing . The station should already be set to 970 AM Rochester. The sound is perfectly clear.
You can also listen to the station on your smartphone using the Real Presence Radio app in the Google Play Store or App Store. After installing it, go to Stations and select Rochester AM 970. Then hit the arrow by Ready to start playing.
The area live broadcasts are from 9-11am weekdays. You can even call in on some Wed. mornings and ask Fr. Will a tough question. The local schedule is sent by email from steve@yourcatholicradiostation.com and the national one is on the webpage.
