Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** ARGENTINA. 15345.3, Sept 24 at 2345, surprised to hear RAE in Portuguese at
this hour --- no, it`s not, but Portunhol, or Spanish with a heavy Brazilian
accent from a (financial?) YL correspondent in S?o Paulo, then back to regular
Argie-accented Spanish from studio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRIA. 5910, Sept 24 at 0543, TWR music-box IS, very poor but at least
showing again, the 100 kW, 30 degree beam before Polish M-F quarter-hour, and
confirming that COLOMBIA still hasn`t come back on its second frequency. TWR,
however, is desensitized on the FRG-7 by the bigsigs from WWCR on 5890 & 5935
(not always the case, but as such tonight) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** AUSTRIA. 15440, Sept 25 at 1403, S Asian music, heavy flutter. It`s AWR Urdu
service, 300 kW due east from Moosbrunn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11856.3, Sept 24 at 2343, R. Aparecida with a song no doubt of
Marian praise, about 1 kHz further off-frequency than usual, and // weaker
9724.4 as relayed by RB2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11620, Sept 25 at 1328, open carrier with hum, heavy flutter; 1329
hum stops; 1330:15 join AIR English sign-on in progress amid frequency
announcement; 1330:45 ID and into news. Nice to hear 11620, as for months
during the 1330 GOS sesquihour, it`s been inaudible, unlike the other two
frequencies, 9690 and 13710. These are audible, but 11620 is much better; 13710
is slightly behind 11620, as 9690 also seems to be. Per Aoki, 11620 is only 125
kW from Delhi-Khampur, while 9690 & 13710 are 500 kW Bengalurus. Between 1336
and 1337, 13710 suffers a break in transmission for less than a minute (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. 4750-, Sept 25 at 1200, first check of session is for
RRI Makassar, but only a low audible het between it and Bangladesh or China,
closer to 4750.00. Therefore quite surprised at 1238 recheck to find RRI up to
fair level and alone, with YL Indonesian announcement, then mostly music, still
1248. 1251 brief ``running-water`` ute QRM overrides; 1253 another YL
announcement, but at *1254.5 the LAH comes back on --- so Makassar has lucked
out with Bangladesh or China in a transmission break until now (why in the
world don`t the three permanently spread out to 4740, 4745??). 1300
announcement from RRI but QRM is worse. Had been the best I`ve heard it so far
since reactivation. It surged after our sunrise 1222 today.
We hope for good DX conditions the last week of September, as minor/major
geomag storms are coming the first week of October. From 1239 Sept 25, I also
scan 60m for other Asian signals: 4870-, nothing from RRI Wamena (Ron Howard
also says it was off today); 4820 has talk with a het = Kolkata/Lhasa-Baiding;
at 1241 algo talk on 4895, also signals on 4920, 4970, 5010, 5050, pointing to
India and/or Tibet/China (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 774, Sept 25 at 1207, JBA carrier from the NW/SE, certainly 500 kW
JOUB Akita NHK-2, my prime pilot for trans-Pacific MW DX. Then seeking others
on DX-398 9-kHz stepping, and find: 693 & 594 at 1208; 828 at 1211, the latter
as strong as 774. These surely are all other NHKs: 828, 300 kW JOBB Osaka,
NHK-2; 693, 500 kW JOAB Tokyo, NHK-2; 594, 500 kW JOAK Tokyo, NHK-1. No more
carriers found up to 1000 nor in the 1500s. Sunrise here today: 1222 UT (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 650, Sept 25 at 0553, Mexican music is totally dominant, soon ID for
Radio 65, live TC for 6 para las 12, i.e. XETNT Los Mochis, Sinaloa. Can hear
trace of WSM (and something else, KGAB WY?) only by carefully nulling this!
Northerly signals from Chicago, Minneapolis, etc., are still inbooming, so not
auroral condx; a fluke? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 690, Sept 25 at 0555, two Spanish stations: one IDs for 107.9 FM and
into music; the other ``La 69``, promo tied in with Mexican independence just
celebrated last week, then continuous talk. Both vs open carrier from KGGF KS.
The `107.9` one loops further clockwise from the ``69`` one. The latter is
surely 100/5 kW XEN in the DF. But all three references, IRCA, Cant? and WRTH
show no 107.9 // on 690, but instead 107.1 for XEMA, 50/2 kW in Fresnillo,
Zacatecas; so unless a new 107.9/690 combo show up, I`ll have to assume what I
really heard was ``107.1``. Sorting out the XE 690s can be confusing: XEWW,
77/50 kW in Rosarito BCN is also listed with a ``6-90 AM`` ID (but never heard
here with its tight N/S pattern); both XEMA and XECS in Colima are a.k.a. ``La
Mejor`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NICARAGUA. 8989-USB, Sept 24 at 2335, Spanish speaker with a sense of
urgency as if preaching something we haven`t already heard ad infinitum, still
at 2346, too poor to make out details, but presumably the pirate predicator
circa Nicaragua, offshore? but in aero band during habitual ~half-hour
appearance (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6955.0-USB, Sept 25 at 0110, only pirate-band signal at the
moment emits dense rock music at S9+18; 0114 announcement as Def Leppard,
``don`t need to be listening to this``, ``This is Radio Broadcaster, screwing
around; got one more for you, listen up, all you HF-Undergrounders``. Where I
go later and find agreement that ``Radio Broadcaster`` is the ID, apparently a
first-timer, or first-namer:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,23583.0.html
As almost always the case, I am further west than any of the other loggers of
these (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 15140, Sept 25 at 0101, RSO unfound on any of: 9500, 9540, 9740, so I
look for a signal on 15140, and there is one very poor, but can`t tell whether
it`s RSO overtime or CRI Chinese via Xi`an as also sked this hour only (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1792 monitoring: confirmed second SW

** U S A. 760, Sept 25 at 1226 UT as I am trying to ID the nostalgic music,
maybe from Mexico [see UNID log], 6 kW KCCV Overland Park KS is in ascendance,
closing `Turning Point` program with San Diego address (not KFMB!), own ID for
760, 92.3 and new 101.5; ad for Hillsdale College (which is in Michigan,
Baptist). NRC AM Log does not show any FM // for KCCV, nor for WJR, nor for
KMTL in AR. 92.3 however matches in the WTFDA database as KCCV-FM Olathe KS;
and the 101.5 to K268CF in Kansas City MO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. Doug Smith comments on my previous log about KQCV-800 OKC:
> Standard remark about stations
> broadcasting dead air for more than a minute being unworthy of their
> licenses. If they can`t have at least one human constantly listening
> to their own stations, and in emergency control if needed, how can

Indeed, for only $150 a station can buy one of these:
http://www.bswusa.com/Silence-Sensor-Broadcast-Tools-Silence-Sentinel-Basic-P6483.aspx
which will listen for them. You just have to have one human within
earshot of the alarm. If $150 is too much for a silence sensor, how's free?:
http://pira.cz/show.asp?art=silence
(Doug Smith, TN, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
That should be a no-brainer, but I would still not be satisfied. At least one
station staffer should be *required* to *listen* constantly to own station`s
output, much of it the crap they expect the audience to hear (Glenn Hauser,
DXLD)
** U S A. 880, Sept 25 at 1229 UT, plug for an event in Washington County
Community Center, loops E-W, 1230 UT KLRG ID, i.e. Sheridan in central AR;
while Wash. Co. is the NW corner circa Fayetteville (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1020, Sept 25 at 0602 UT, KCKN Roswell NM ID missed but multi-station
ID in progress for Mount Kisco and many others including ``530 Caicos, British
West Indies``, i.e. Radiovisi?n Cristiana, originating in NYC at WWRV-1330;
overpowering near-local 1020, KOKP Perry OK, still making a SAH with it as
50/50 kW U4 KCKN continues to ignore its requirement to protect KDKA if not
KOKP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX Listening Digest)
** U S A. Doug Smith answers a question in my previous report:
> BTW, KFH is (voluntarily?) downgraded to only 630 watts instead of
> the usual 1000 for graveyarders (looking thru the NRC AM Log, there
> are quite a few others at less than 1000 now; why?). (Glenn Hauser,
> Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Antenna is too efficient. KFH is using the KZCH-96.3 FM tower. This tower is
225 electrical degrees high - at 1240 kHz, that's 151 meters. It delivers
441mV/m of signal at 1 km. The minimum tower height for a Class C station like
KFH is only 45 meters, or a minimum signal of 241mV/m. The typical AM
non-directional tower is somewhere near 1/4 wavelength, or 90 electrical
degrees -- less than half the height of what KFH is using.
I think if you checked on the other less-than-1,000-watt Class C
stations, you'd find nearly all of them are using FM or TV towers which are
much taller than normally used for Class C's. == (Doug Smith, W9WI, Pleasant
View, TN EM66, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [and non]. 17600, Sept 25 at 1339, poor signal in Somali is the 16m
OSOB [only signal on band]. It`s VOA at 13-14 via SMG, violating Separation of
Church and State. By 1348 a second one is starting to show, 17615, Qur`an, i.e.
BSKSA Sa`udi Arabia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 760-, Sept 25 at 1218 UT, nostalgic music, slightly on lo side
making LAH with KCCV KS (see USA Log); 1222 segu? to ``Stranger in Paradise``
by big band; 1224 losing to KCCV. New NRC AM Log 2015 shows no ``NOS`` format
in USA on 760, and there`s nothing roughly matching the DF that`s not a talker.
So, is it really a Mexican? 2014 IRCA Log shows no specific NOS format there
either, but from DF could be: XEES Chihuahua, XEEB Ciudad Obreg?n, or XENY
Nogales. At least XEES and XENY have been logged here before (Glenn Hauser, OK,

ARGENTINE ANTARCTICA 15475.976 kHz footprint,
thanks to a tip of Karel Honzik LRA36 was on air on Sept 23 heard in Czech
Republic,
missed yesterday Sept 24 night on shortwave 19mb,
and now also tiny signal noted here in Europe tonight at 18.30 UT again.
I guess lower sunspots occurs in A-15,
the LRA36 signals were stronger in 2013 and 2014 seasons though.
ARGENTINA RAE with chimes interval signal heard on 15345.070 kHz footprint
around 1855 UT and station ID too.
Up to S=9+5dB signal strength - much fluttery signal here in Germany.

Message-ID:
<[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
** U S A [and non]. GLENN HAUSER`S NEW MEXICO TRIP LOG --- From Sept 10 to
early UT Sept 16, 2015, I made a whirlwind tour of north/eastern NM, my old
stomping grounds which I had not visited for about 5 years. Lots to report
about AM and FM radio in NM and some neighboring states/estados. I have been
mulling how to arrange this, but the most expedient way is chronologically as
in original log. Any particular info may still be searched out later. All dates
and times UT! Of course in OK & TX, local time is UT -5; in NM, UT -6. And who
cares what time it is in Eastern? A few shortwave logs on the trip have already
been reported, and a few MW logs by skywave are not included here but already
in regular DX reports. I am not going to segregate AM from FM here; those who
care nothing about one or the other must do the ignoring.
89.5, KTOT Spearman TX, Sept 10 at 1745, with gamelan music, quite a novelty,
but it`s just the `Exploring Music` show from High Plains Public Radio, 100 kW
relay of KANZ 91.1 Garden City KS. Too bad none of their stations make it to
Enid without any tropo help. On US 60 near Chester, west of Enid OK.
580, Sept 10 at 1822, SAH of 50/minute = 0.83 Hz, between WIBW Topeka KS and
KRFE Lubbock TX, 5 and 0.5 kW respectively; WIBW is still atop.
On US 60 near Seiling OK.
1060, Sept 10 at 1825, NO signal from KIJN Farwell TX, off the air as I had
thought from Enid non-hearings. On US 60 near Seiling OK; now with a big wind
farm nearby which wasn`t there last time we transited.
1150, Sept 10 at 1826, talk about rural health clinic in Hardeman County,
Texas, Quanah ads, hwy 6 and 287. Is KOIJ Quanah TX, 530/77 watts U1. Doesn`t
make it to Enid on groundwave, just KSAL. On US 60 near Seiling OK.
1290, Sept 10 at 1829, 2 Hz SAH between KWFS Wichita Falls TX, 5 kW ND, and the
only other 1290 anywhere near, KMMM Pratt KS, 5 kW direxional west. Back in
Enid, only get KWFS. On US 60 near Seiling OK.
93.9, Sept 10 at 1840, Kansas ad, on the ``Buzzard``. Strangely enough, there
is only one Buzzard on 93.9, searching WTFDA database without even entering KS
? KZRD Dodge City, 100 kW. On US 60 west of Seiling OK.
93.1, Sept 10 circa 1930 UT, notice that this Amarillo TX station, ``The Beat``
has much weaker signal than the one on 94.1, as I am still in the NE TX
Panhandle some distance from Amarillo, just past the OK border. WTFDA DB shows
both KQIZ-FM 93.1 and KMXJ-FM 94.1 are 100/100 kW at close to same coordinates,
the major difference being 213 m AAT for 93.1, 330m for 94.1, but that`s not
enough to account for the difference; Still entering Potter County (Amarillo)
the same disparity after 2200. On US 60 NE of Amarillo. 93.1 underpowered?
1550, Sept 10 at 2119, Spanish with b?isbol, surely 1 kW KNSH Canyon TX (just
south of AMA), despite 2015 NRC AM Log listing as ``Talk 1550`` in English.
Approaching Amarillo on US 60.
1610, Sept 10 at 2201, blue road sign says ``Weather Info Tune Radio to 1610
AM`` --- not any more: this TIS is gone, unfortunately, I think for a few
years, adhering to the FCC banning of NWS relays on TIS stations. So where`s my
Weather Band radio in the car??? On US 60 at the Potter County line NE of
Amarillo.
89.9, Sept 10 circa 2200, KACV, Amarillo College, 100 kW which should be a
public radio station continues to be nothing but a student rocker, or rather
``adult alternative``. But HPPR has filled the gap with at least three signals
into Amarillo, on 105.7 KJJP 43 kW, 94.9 K235AL 62 watts, and 91.5 KTXP 1 kW
licensed to Bushland on the west side. Lots of its programming, events and
underwriting mentions Amarillo, the largest city by far it serves compared to
HQ in Garden City and elsewhere in KS, OK. Near and thru Amarillo onto I-40
west.
87.7, WTFDA lists a 3 kW KBEX-LP, Amarillo, Tejano Power in Spanish, i.e. an
analog channel 6 Franken TV license; unfortunately I didn`t see this until I
got back, so didn`t check for it! Really 87.75?
530 & 1610, Sept 11 at 0045, Tucumcari NM TIS, same YL message for years,
roughly: ``New Mexico Department of Transportation District 4, Welcome to the
Land of Enchantment; remember to buckle up and drive safely``. I spot a
monopole just east of Tucum, probably the 530; 1610 closer in, has a flashing
sign about ``monitor 1610 for urgent messages``. I wonder how often that
happens? On I-40 near and thru Tucumcari. FCC: WQEL629, at I-40 exit 335 [same
callsign as the Santa Rosans to come]
1670, Sept 11 circa 0050 UT, another TIS, from Mesalands Community College
promoting their dinosaur museum, ``what a marvelous museum``, with monopole at
I-40 exit 332. FCC: WQIQ632. In Tucumcari.
I have brought with me a 13-page printout of all the NM FM stations by
frequency from the WTFDA Database as of Sept 9: source for reference info in
the following.
90.1, listed K211DW, 28-watt Tucumcari translator of KFLQ, 91.5 Family Life
Radio ABQ, is dead air but with stereo pilot; that`s something
We spend the first night in Santa Rosa, my 1 to 9-year-old boyhood home, UT
Sept 11:
88.9, KENM Tucumcari, almost makes it to Santa Rosa; 3 kW, 265m, the KENW
Portales 89.5 relay. SR has no local signal from the KENW stations, nor from
KUNM Albuquerque; just a 91.9 relay of KANW ABQ, KNLK, 100 watts at minus 8
meters above average terrain --- yes, SR is in the Pecos River valley, which
degrades FM and TV reception. At some higher spots, marginal signal from KENW
direct on 89.5.
94.7, K234BN, 10-watt translator in SR of KANW 89.1 ABQ is not heard; why need
it, with 91.9? Slightly different site coordinates
95.9, KSSR, SR`s only local commercial station, with non ID, sounds like Casey
Kasem. I think they used to carry his syndicated show(s)
103.1, KSRL-LP, is on. Listed with 0/0 watts, but certainly more than that!
Think I spotted it on Third Street, across from the Santa Rosa de Lima as per
callsign, Catholic church. Has a big ugly dish, and a two-bay antenna, on a
short tower by the building; no signage identifying it outside.
107.1, K296EP, translator of 98.1 KBAC is not heard, but 98.1 makes it
>From the SR motel room I am able to get some good AM reception, and even SW
>from Colombia on 6010.1 (SW logs from trip already reported).
1090, Sept 11 at 0531, High Plains Radio Network in TX with promo for high
school sports: i.e. KVOP Plainview in the Panhandle between Amarillo and
Lubbock, 5000/500 watts U4. Night pattern has lobes to the NW and the SSE,
while we are WNW of them. Would be groundwave in daytime, but at night, maybe
skywave.
1680 & 1610, Sept 11 at 0540, two NMDOT District 4 TIS are still running in SR.
They relay WXJ33, NWS in ABQ with its frequent IDs, BUT: constantly interrupted
for local ID announcement like Tucum of 11 or 12 seconds. While NWS is
synchronized [confirmed on two radios at 1723], the interruptions are not. I
time their frequency on 1610: every 30 seconds! Makes it very hard to follow
the weather info; must listen to multiple repeats to get the whole spiel, 18 or
19 second fragments, or keep switching between frequencies. 1610 has noisier
background than 1680. These may be on opposite sides of city, originally for
I-40 construxion info. Yes, FCC: WQEL629 with 1610 at I-40 exit 273; 1680 at
exit 277 (I think this is the one now closed for construxion). Same callsign
applies to Tucumcari 1610, above.
[I also had some skywave DX logs this night, published elsewhere; now next
daytime Sept 11:]
106.7, Sept 11 at 1521, open carrier/dead air here. Only two NM stations are
listed, one remotely possible, KAGM Los Alamos, 43 kW, 592m HAAT. West TX also
possible but not close either: KCHX Midland, 100 kW, 207m; and KQTY-FM, Borger,
6 kW, 79m. FCC FM Query comes up with another possibility: K294CB, 106.7, in
Clovis NM, 50-watt, 70.2m CP for Christina G. Benavides
105.9, Sept 11 at 1521, ID as ``K-SEL Country``, so Lubbock TX? Used to be a
KSEL there, but this one is now in much closer Portales NM, 100 kW, 141m
1701-1708 UT Sept 11 bandscan while parked at the Power Dam south of town;
long-abandoned little hydro facility, with the water from backed up lake now
flowing around one side of the mostly still-standing dam:
http://www.w4uvh.net/SRpowerdam.jpg
91.9, KNLK local relay of KANW 89.1 ABQ, Sept 11 at 1703, does carry NPR News,
but programming is mostly `New Mexico Music`; and I notice there is some hum on
this transmission, presumably not on KANW itself. Also picks up some slack of
public radio programs passed over by KUNM.
103.9, Sept 11 at 1705, `Back to the Bible`. Two NM stations, KGRT-FM, 6 kW Las
Cruces, country, too far; and 250-watt translator K280FL, contemporary
Christian, but in Aztec, far too far in NW corner. So how about west Texas? The
only cC is a K-Love in Amarillo, 99-watt K280EU, too far too. One other
possibility: KRIA, 25 kW in Plainview TX but it`s supposed to be classic rock,
`The Rocket`. Could BTTB be programmed on it anyway? KRIA has no website, but
BTTB does have a station finder, by states, map:
http://www.backtothebible.org/bttb/stations
with nothing listed in TX or NM. What do they know? [BTW, there is no sign of
tropo or sporadic E DX anytime during this trip, but one MS]
105.7, Sept 11 at 1705, call mentioned KDAY? Must not be, as that`s on 93.5 in
California. Nothing fuzzily similar found in TX listings, and there are NO NMs
on this frequency.
Then checking MW for some interesting signals, not full bandscan [this sexion
rearranged slightly from chrono to frequency order]:
540, Sept 11 at 1708, weak! Spanish, from KNMX Las Vegas NM. Only 88 km = 55
miles, but their 5 kW is direxional directly away from SR, an ellipse tangent
to LV. It does have broad coverage in northern and eastern NM. Why direxional?
Looks as if unnecessarily protecting XEWA. Local display ad for KNMX and two
related FMs:
http://www.w4uvh.net/KNMXad.jpg
640, Sept 11 at 1707, mixture of Spanish and English. Spanish is certainly
XEJUA in Ju?rez, and I figure English would be remnant of 50 kW KFI all the way
from Los ?ngeles CA; IIRC I`ve heard it before in parts of NM in the daytime;
but could also be remnant of my OK station, KWPN Moore, 5 kW sports talk.
Distances: KFI 1247 km = 775 miles; KWPN 656 km = 408 miles.
680, Sept 11 at 1718, weak Spanish, ad for Fort Stockton (TX), Panader?a
Guadalajara,, ``La Ce(?) Grande 680 AM`` slogan. It`s only the latest
incarnation of 500-watt KWKA in nearby Clovis NM, really ``La Ke Grande`` as in
NRC AM Log, as in Qu?; nowhere near Fort Stockton, which is 392 km = 244 miles
south of Clovis! There must be scads of bakeries named Guadalajara in greater
Mexico.
720, Sept 11 at 1706, Spanish music, squeezed by slop from 710 KGNC Amarillo
and 730 KDAZ ABQ; at 1712, ID missed but songs in English; 1717 ``Extremo 7-20,
el extremo de tu m?sica``, so it`s XEJCC in Ciudad Ju?rez, also heard in OK by
skywave.
800, Sept 11 at 1709, JBA SAH! What about 50 kW XEROK Ju?rez? It must be OFF at
midday; as weaker, lower CiJz stations on 640, 720 are incoming across the
desert. Sked is supposedly 24 hours, and it certainly gets out at night even
tho no longer 150 kW. Do they deliberately stay off in daytime, and if so on
what sked? A DXer in El Paso could tell us. Another 800 making the SAH has to
be KDDD, 250 watts in Dumas, NW TX Panhandle, but is it beating against a QRP
XEROK or with 2.5 kW KQCV OKC at 654 km = 407 miles?
820, Sept 11 at 1758, weak signal from the ``testerone center of Texas``, i.e.
DFW`s WBAP at edge of 50 kW groundwave, 737 km = 458 miles from Grapevine.
840, Sept 11 at 1710 & 1757, hard rock, no doubt KARS Bel?n NM, 1800 watts just
south of ABQ; ex-860 during my previous residence in NM. Not clear why the
move. Nothing much close on 860 to compete in daytime, unless 250-watt KPAN
Hereford TX, SW of Amarillo was a problem.
860, Sept 11 at 1757, indeed stronger signal here than on 840, this no doubt
being KPAN Hereford TX.
880, Sept 11 at 1756, SAH of about 5 Hz. Can`t see how this could be anything
but remnants of KHAC Tse Bonito NM and KRVN Lexington NE (unless of course
there are some overlooked inband HAR/TIS nearer). Logged again below but as 7
Hz SAH.
960, Sept 1 at 1755, an intriguing low audible heterodyne between two very weak
signals, the closest, but not very, pair being KGKL San Angelo TX, and KNDN
Farmington NM. KGKL was not off-frequency when I would hear it in Enid during
the KGWA Fox-hole. Some Mexicans on 960, but none close to the Chihuahua border.
Noise level from a nearby powerline becomes a problem above 1000, so can`t dig
really weak signals out on top half.
1060v, Sept 11 at 1753, KIJN Farwell TX is still silent.
1090, Sept 11 at 1733, network news but cut off for local ad by Lindsey`s, and
back to Dennis Prager Show. 1752, High Plains Radio Network, Panhandle TX, i.e.
KVOP. [this was also a night cheater a few months ago making it eastward]
1230, Sept 11 at 1730, KFUN Las Vegas, despite a 1 kW graveyarder, is
nondirexional and much stronger daytime in SR than 540 KNMX 5 kW. KFUN promotes
its worldwide webcast reach, via http://kfunonline.com but we don`t get a
connexion in several tries; maybe it`s too ``busy``? But radio-locator thinx
KFUN has no website. Here`s a display ad for KFUN and 100.7 KLVF:
http://www.w4uvh.net/KFUNKLVFad.jpg
1260, Sept 11 at 1728, KTRC Santa Fe with Thom Hartmann show, // weaker 1350
KABQ ABQ, the two and only ``progressive`` commercial talk stations. Yet break
to an ad for owning gold, which you would expect on far-right talk radio; o
well, it pays the bills. But if gold is such a good investment, why would
anyone be selling it????
I`m still not used to the SF call/frequency swap between 1400 KVSF and 1260
KTRC. Here`s a display ad for the FM side of KVSF which I really didn`t listen
to; what are its politix?
http://www.w4uvh.net/KVSFad.jpg
95.5, Sept 11 at 1915, KHFM Santa Fe, the classical station I once worked for
when it was 96.3 in Albuquerque/Sandia Crest, but demoted by new corporate
owners to lesser signal on a lesser summit, nevertheless makes it to high
ground on the road to Santa Rosa Lake State Park, but --- with CCI from YLs
chatting in Spanish. Looks like that has to be KAIQ, 100 kW, 205m in Wolfforth
(Lubbock) TX, about 300 km = 185 miles. Tho it`s commercial, KHFM constantly
bills itself as ``listener-supported``
101.1, Sept 11 circa 2145, KSFR White Rock (a suburb SE of Los ?lamos toward
SF), Santa Fe Public Radio is making it along I-40 east of Albuquerque, tho
it`s only 2.5 kW ERP, at 568m HAAT on a mountain west of Los ?lamos, per
Radio-Locator. But --- with some CCI from an oldies station: that must be KVLC
100 kW, 101 Gold, way down in Hatch next to Las Cruces. I listen a lot of KSFR
Online. Originally on 90.7 but a few years ago made a swap which led to a
K-Love gospel huxter in SF on 90.7.
88.7, Sept 11 circa 2145, hoping for signs of KRZA Taos/Alamosa along I-40 too,
but not possible now with the newish 88.7 in Encino, KXNM, 18 kW, 89m, ``The
Voice of Central New Mexico`` per WTFDA. Encino hardly merits such a radio
station, very small town on US 285 between Clines Corners and Vaughan, south of
I-40.
94.5, entering Albuquerque from the east on I-40, I always check for Gallup,
which makes it across the Valley to The Heights, and there it shows once we
come around a bend and out of Tijeras Canyon, but not for long as we get into
the city. IIRC it used to be a rocker, but WTFDA now shows it as KYAT, 100 kW,
420m, ``Navajo FM Station``. Wish I could have heard more of it.
We spent only one night in Albuquerque, avoiding the clog of the State Fair,
also taking a quick look at the campus of my alma mater UNM, which is also
clogged with more and more buildings, parking garages but I suppose the mark of
success; and no time for examining much of the local radio scene.
1510: One station listened to for a bit, as never heard in OK, is the newish
KOAZ, 5000/25 watts U1, ``The Oasis``. It exists by getting rid of the native
station in Magdalena on 1500, and KOAZ is really licensed to Isleta (nearby
pueblo to ABQ, but address inside ABQ). Also has translator on 103.7, format
JAZZ per NRC AM Log. The FM is certainly essential at night, with 25 kW KCKK
Littleton CO aimed right at it (as I previously reported and later logged
further north in NM). Display ad for The Oasis doesn`t even mention the AM 1510!
http://www.w4uvh.net/KOAZad.jpg
No TIS/HAR noted currently active in Albuquerque. Guess they finally finished
the I-25/I-40 construxion. Some nice decorations on the underpasses and
barriers (also between Santa Fe and Espa?ola). FCC still lists a few TIS.
Sept 12 we drive thru Santa Fe and on to Taos, noting a few things. No TIS/HAR
audible in Santa Fe either, on 530 or in the 1600s.
950, Circa Espa?ola, KDCE is splattering plus/minus 30 kHz. I suppose we were
very close to the site tho we didn`t spot the towers.
880, Sept 12 at 1844 in Espa?ola, we have a weak SAH of ~7 Hz on this
frequency: hard to see how it could be anything but KHAC Tse Bonito NM and the
only other 880 anywhere out to second-adjacent states, KRVN Lexington NE, 10
and 50 kW respectively, both ND daytime. Much like we get in OK on 880 at
night; I`ll have to recheck their SAH. Lexington is 768 km = 477 miles from
Espa?ola. See earlier log above too.
730, Sept 12 at 1912, carrier and modulation are cutting off and on; first
thought a spur from local 950 KDCE or something, but then decided it`s just
KDAZ Albuquerque, with severe transmitter problems, 1 kW gospel-huxter.
99.1, Sept 12 at 2005, now circa Taos, ABC News in English until strange time
to end at 2007.5, then ``M?s M?sica`` in Spanish. i.e. KXMT, 60 kW, 651 m for
Taos. Such a slogan not in WTFDA DB.
1610, Sept 13 at 2025 near Pojoaque, heading back thru Santa Fe, NWS relay from
Albuquerque is heard, and also a SAH. FCC info leads to WQFJ525, licensed to
Los ?lamos County, with two 1610s, one at the LA PD, the other in White Rock.
1610, Sept 13 at 2335 near Pecos on I-25, Open carrier/dead air from ex-TIS
here for Pecos NHP. No longer listed by FCC.
90.9, approaching Las Vegas on I-25, K215DT, 104-watt, 207-meter, vertical-only
KENW relay in San August?n is like a local, despite LV having a non-translator
on 91.1.
91.1, Sept 14 at 0030, KEDP Las Vegas finally becomes audible as we are almost
at the city limits, and 90.9 K215DT (above) is no longer blocking it. Slogan
``Rescue Radio``, as listed; where did they get that unique name? Is student
station at New Mexico Highlands University, with classic rock, 1.32 kW
horizontal only, -60.6m ``above`` average terrain, both maybe accounting for
poor range on caradio antenna).
A few years ago there were CPs/Apps for a new public radio network across
northern NM beyond those of KANW, KUNM and KENW, IIRC involving NMHU, but
apparently crashed and never happened, as no sign of it in listings now.
Las Vegas is in the fortunate position of having local relays of both KUNM
(KRRE 91.9) and KENW (K296EN 107.1); (and cable TV gets both KENW ``3``
Portales and KNME ``5`` ABQ).
1670, next morning on the way out of Las Vegas northbound on I-25, about 5
miles out of town we find a TIS unnoticed while in LV itself: good modulation,
VERY long spiel about emergency preparedness, chemical spills, etc.,
sheltering-in-place, referencing http://www.smcounty.net i.e. San Miguel
County. That site in turn references across bottom of homoepage: ``Local AM
Emergency Alert System --- 1670 AM on Your Radio Dial``. No repeat heard after
several minutes but as it`s weakening slightly by mile 359 approaching Watrous
[NM! also near a 540 station!] we start to hear an echo. FCC info:
WQJV568 by San Miguel County with three 1670 transmitters:
Pacheco Site, 0.3 km NE of I-25 at State Hwy 104
Trujillo Site, 1.3 miles SW of Hwy 104
Apache Springs, 2.1 miles N of Apache Springs NM
Losing 1670 to ignition noise by mile 363. Pacheco is the one we are hearing,
as Trujillo is about 35 miles east of LV: San Miguel is a big county; and
Apache Springs is to the south on US 84.
1650, Sept 14 at 1538 in the daytime but skywave remnant? some Spanish audible,
and CCI, i.e. KBJD Denver CO, and KSVE El Paso TX, the only two US SS on the
frequency; near Watrous NM on I-25.
540, Sept 14 at 1540, KNMX Las Vegas with Ave Mar?a song and another sacred
tune, performed by kids with guitar/violin accompaniment.
810, Sept 14 at 1542, KSWV Santa Fe with misa in Spanish, reciting Ave Mar?a.
Both of these are nominally secular stations and AFAIK this Monday is no
special occasion on the liturgical calendar, but subject to the dominant local
religion`s requirements.
1020, Sept 14 at 1544, KCKN Roswell in Spanish non-Catholic religion with
bigsig even up around Watrous NM, obviously running 50 kW again, yet merely a
satellite of Radiovisi?n Cristiana, WWRV 1330 NYC, about some teatro event on
Calle 165 as if that would be of any interest in NM, 973-AC phone number. On
groundwave here compared to 910, 5 kW KKBE Roswell, 1020 is much stronger. We
still get it at night in OK too as heavy QRM to nearby 1020 KOKP Perry,
obviously not protecting KDKA.
92.1, Sept 14 at 1550, we listen to the KENW relay for a while via K221DM Wagon
Mound, 163 watts at 441 meters. KENW 89.5 Portales at ENMU has an extensive
translator/satellite network across eastern New Mexico; still after many years
with unusual format for a public radio station of EZL music weekdays, but NPR
news and a large variety of few-minute educational capsule shows sprinkled
thruout (e.g. Stardate, etc.) And at the moment, 1550, own produxion? ``My
Stars --- a weekly astronomy update for New Mexico``.
90.7, Sept 14 at 1557, the unique voice of Diane Rehm for a second by meteor
scatter. It`s definitely not KRWG Las Cruces NM, not on their schedule. DR Show
website has convenient affiliate list showing 90.7s in: FL, ID, MD, MO, NH, NC.
The only ones in likely MS range are: KWMU St Louis MO (1346 km = 837 miles),
and KBSQ McCall ID (1383 km = 860 miles).
91.7, Sept 14 at 1557, KRCC ID in passing, at mile 385 on I-25 = 2 miles south
of Wagon Mound. No KRCC translators in NM, but in WTFDA listing for CO, this
must be: KCCS, Starkville, 370 watts, 303 m HAAT, ``NPR for Southern
Colorado``, but not shown as a KRCC 91.5 Colo Sprs relay. Starkville is just
across the border between Rat?n NM and Trinidad CO. I know that in this part of
the country, terrain can audiblize such weakies in certain unexpected spots
only. On a topo map there would probably be a line-of-sight path, or nearly so.
Well, it`s really not that far, 127 km or 79 miles city-to-city plus 2 miles.
U.o.s., distances cited in this report are approximations from
http://distancefromto.net entering city/place names. While station coordinates
are available, just too tedious and time-consuming. It also delivers driving
distances which I will try just once: 141 km = 88 miles to Starkville.
99.9, Sept 14 at 1601, ABC network news, at mile 391 on I-25; but brief, since
at 1602 already, notice from Taos sheriff about a fugitive, cf
taoscrimestoppers.org and ID ``True Country 99.9 and 100.7, KKTC``. 99.9 KKTC
is really licensed to Angelfire with 1.75 kW, 646m HAAT. Even if on
mountaintops in this 13+ kilofoot area of NM`s highest peaks, FM coverage can
be spotty and blocked; thus need for 100.7 translator back in Taos itself,
which is K264AE, 250 watts at minus! 197m HAAT. It`s not audible here, of
course, but instead 100.7 KLVF Las Vegas is still making it with 10 kW, from
minus 23m HAAT.
102.3, Sept 14 at 1606, lost dogs & cats notices, which air at 10 am and 6 pm
MT; phones such as 520-2323, in Ca??n, 770-1307; 770-8005; mention
http://enchantedtaos.com and ID as ``KTAO, Solar 101-9``. No such translator or
satellite is listed by WTFDA for KTAO on 102.3! Closest one is K272ET in Eagle
Nest, listed as a KBAC 98.1 relay.
So check FCC FM Query: does not show in this case which station is relayed, but
licensed to Taos Communication Corporation, same as KTAO, hint2. It`s only 10
watts ERP! but 740m HAAT, 3558m AMSL [= 11670 feet]; 14m AGL. (I`m not taking
any more time in this delayed report to track down which mountain each of these
is on.)
Next program is `Trash & Treasure`, i.e. tradio, local buy-and-sell ads. This
heard along miles 398-400 of I-25. 101.9 primary not audible here, on other
side of Sangres de Cristo.
We didn`t bother to log KTAO 101.9 while in Taos itself, but did spy its
installation on the north side with an expanse of solar panels. It got a lot of
publicity a few years ago as the first(? only?) all-solar-powered radio
station.
http://www.w4uvh.net/KTAOsolar1.jpg
http://www.w4uvh.net/KTAOsolar2.jpg
103.9, Sept 14 at 1609, KHYM ID, one of the regional gospel-huxter networks in
KS and OK, but we are still on I-25 in NM. This would be the flagship station,
100 kW in Copeland KS, which is SW of Dodge City on US 56 --- distance 378 km =
235 miles. At least I don`t find any likely co-channel translators for it any
closer in NM, CO or TX.
106.1, Sept 14 at 1610, KENW relay atop Sierra Grande mountain is already
audible at mile 401 of I-25 // 92.1 still audible from behind us at Wagon
Mound. COL for K291AD is the nearest town, Des Moines, just north of it; 116
watts at 611m. Summit of Sierra Grande is 8720 feet per my NM atlas. We know
this also reaches into Cimarr?n County, western OK Panhandle. BTW, ``NEWS
CLASSICAL`` doesn`t tell the whole story for KENW format as in WTFDA DB, as
explained above, not classical but EZL all-day, weekdays at least. I think it
does carry various syndicated classical shows elsewhen, but not as prime
format.
88.1, Sept 14 at 1612, mile 404 of I-25, another KENW relay. This must be KENE,
1.25 kW, 431m at Eagle Tail, but where`s that? It`s not a population, but a
mountain found in the NM Atlas, just east of mile 437 on I-25, near a place
called Eagle Rock, and not to be confused with Eagle Nest, much further west
--- but we`re getting off I-25 at exit 412 in Springer, in a hurry to take more
direct US 412 all the way back to Enid (a.k.a. US 56 thru Clayton NM into OK),
thus missing Rat?n, Capul?n, unfortunately, as well as Eagle Nest).
88.5, Sept 14 at 1614, another KENW relay. Only one here is KENU, Des Moines,
240 watts at 613m, at exactly same coordinates as 106.1 above. KENW put this
one on, in case 106.1 gets bumped as only a translator --- but so far it hasn`t
been. Obviously on same tower, antennas 2 meters apart.
90.5, Sept 14 at 1620, classical music heard at Springer, ergo K213ET, the
10-watt, but 660m HAAT KUNM translator at/near Eagle Nest. KUNM has a wide
variety format but does carry `Performance Today` in the mornings (which
neither KUCO nor KOSU nor KGOU provide in OK).
88.7, Sept 14 at 1630, the KRZA DJ we often hear via webcast; now on US56 east
of Springer, in and out, one of those spotty reception areas from its site way
across the Sangres de Cristos, in the San Juan Mountains, i.e. San Antonio
Mountain, which peaks at 10890 feet up, just S of the CO border between
Antonito CO and Tres Piedras NM, and thus serving Taos NM as well as HQ in
Alamosa CO. It`s 9.8 kW ERP at 628H/633V meters AAT. If something goes wrong at
this very remote location, KRZA can be and has been off the air for days or
weeks. Of course we were hearing it well while in the Taos-Questa area; it`s
also spotty into Santa Fe.
92.1, Sept 14 at 1633, KENW Wagon Mound relay still audible with another
few-minute capsule amid EZL music, ``Taking the Nation by Storm``, local?
meteorologist with national, then local weather conditions, forecast.
92.5, Sept 14 at 1636, ``Mountain, KCRT, online at KCRT.com``, then dead air
for a minute, but VG fully quiet signal. It`s 38.5 kW from Trinidad CO. (This
is the one whose AM 1240 is hetting audibly off-frequency at night vs the
graveyard pileup; I should have stopped and checked it here, vs remnants of the
NM 1240s, if any.)
93.9, Sept 14 at 1638, comedy bits to advertise Latin Comedy Jam at the Shuler
Theatre in Rat?n on Sept 19; also ad for Little Stinker Septic Service
(reminiscent of Red Green!); and pink RR`s (?) ``suitable for ladies``
(including Trans?? From Trinidad?). 1651 ID: ``In the Land of Enchantment,
KRTN-FM, 93.9, Enchanted Air``. That`s a change from WTFDA DB as ``Kool Gold
93.9`` with 26 kW from 441m.
US 56/412 from Springer to Clayton is quite a remote area (and smoothly
resurfaced a few years ago), where I have dreamt of DXing via fence beverages
--- but not near mile 44 where a HV transmission line crosses the hiway
WNW/ESE-ward, i.e. west of the State Hwy 120 junxion, a.k.a. Santa Fe Trail.
BTW, we spotted several windfarms in western OK and TX, but not in NM.
97.5, approaching Clayton NM, we expected to be getting KLMX way out, listed as
52 kW, 110m, but still not getting it at 1707 UT Sept 14; finally at 1724, mile
67, only 16 miles from Clayton, we are getting it, with hard rock/rap song
featuring disoriented counting lyrix in Spanish ``1,2,3,4,5,5,6``. Suspect KLMX
is seriously underpowered.
After lunch of a ``blazing red fish sandwich`` (not really spicy) at the Wild
Horse Caf? in Clayton (our usual Rabbit Ears Restaurant being closed on Mondays
---- named for a small mountain NW of Clayton with a couple of humps, nowhere
near a Bugs-Bunny profile!), listened some more to KLMX: 1900 ID as ``97.5,
KLMX, Clayton, New Mexico, home of the Killer Mix``; 1902, ``Klassic Trax
[sp?sp?} on KLMX-FM, The Killer Mix`` --- and at local range we can also tell
it`s in mono, no stereo sound or even pilot.
90.9, 1733 Sept 14, ag market report, from KJIL, another Kansas/Oklahoma
gospel-huxter network. This one is KJHL, 10 kW in Boise City OK. Not specified
in WTFDA DB as really IDing as KJIL.
We also investigated the rest of the radio scene at Clayton NM. On AM, only
KLMX 1450.
90.5, listed KUHC in Clayton, 300 watts, 34m, relaying KJRT 88.3 Amarillo TX,
is OFF. Sept 14 at 1732.
91.7, K219LT, 140 watt AFR satellator, is ON, Sept 14 at 1732.
93.5, K228DP, KENW translator with 170 watts, is on, Sept 14 at 1732; but KENW
also via 106.1 and 88.5 as above.
Indeed, at the OK state line a few miles beyond Clayton, we are still getting
KENW on 88.5 and 106.1 from Sierra Grande NM. How does their coverage compare?
Radio-locator shows 106.1 as direxional, yet pattern is near-circular, with
Clayton at the edge of the fringe contour. 88.5 as non-direxional, nearly the
same but only slightly greater predicted coverage, yet twice the power of
106.1. Would `direxional` include beam tilts? Some required from Sandia Crest
into ABQ, but I should think not for wide-coverage mountaintop relays beyond.
In Cimarr?n County OK, west of Boise City, between Felt and the Beaver River,
we stop for a few minutes at a quiet spot for a partial quick daytime MW
bandscan on caradio, at 1908-1917 UT Sept 14 with many assumptions:
540, KNMX Las Vegas NM is still very good, not being in its null like Santa
Rosa is (but I am still unable to pull it into Enid on daytime GW; maybe I
could if it were not for KDFT and KWMT)
550, CCI, so KFRM KS & KCRS TX
560, KLZ Denver religion
570, SAH, one of which is talk, KLIF Dallas; and KWML Las Cruces? or WNAX
Yankton SD? The latter is everyday into Enid, not much further to here
580, CCI music and talk, WIBW Topeka KS, and KRFE Lubbock TX
590, KCSJ Pueblo CO is VG with talk, over lite CCI --- KXSP Omaha
600, very weak CCI and slow SAH of 30/minute = 0.5 Hz: must be KCOL Wellington
CO, direxional west, and KROD El Paso TX, non-direxional (the other west Texan
at Kermit, now gone; it was always too close to KROD)
610, fast SAH between two talkers, one or both sports, i.e. KNML Albuquerque
and KCSP Kansas City MO (ex-KGGM and WDAF). (The Vail CO 610 has been silent
since Nov 2012)
630, KHOW Denver is good
640, sports talk, must be remnant of KWPN Moore OK
650, good signal with Hannity; must be KGAB Cheyenne (Orchard Valley) WY
660, IBOC from 670 KLTT Denver (Commerce City). This one also makes it into
Enid on daytime groundwave, but not enough for IBOC
680, Spanish vs IBOC from KLTT on the other side: KWKA Clovis NM, as far above
690, ``We`re Cruisin```, i.e. KWRP Pueblo CO, 250 watts; and some CCI, more
likely all the way from 10 kW KGGF Coffeyville KS, than 250-watt KPET Lamesa TX
730, one station audible with religion. KLOE Goodland KS, 1 kW ND ought to be
in here but listed as news/talk; so instead must be 1 kW direxional away from
XEX, KDAZ Albuquerque. Is KLOE off??
740, CCI, must be KVOR Colorado Springs (wasn`t that before on 1300?), vs KRMG
Tulsa
750, weak CCI, has to be KMMJ Grand Island NE vs KAMA El Paso TX
760, weak, presumably KKZN Thornton CO rather than KCCV Overland Park KS. 50
kW KKZN has big coverage but west of Denver only
770, KKOB Albuquerque is still good
780, music from KCEG Fountain CO
790, is it KXXX Colby KS or KFYO Lubbock TX?
800, ag info, presumably KDDD Dumas TX, not far; still no XEROK daytime
810, fast SAH, CCI between WHB Kansas City and: KLVZ Brighton CO, or KXOI
Crane (Odessa) TX
820, NO signal from WBAP as expected; see 1080
850, KOA is VG, of course
860, KPAN Hereford TX is good
880, KRVN Lexington NE
890, algo, presumably KTLR OKC remnant or KJME Fountain CO
900, ag news, so KFLP Floydada TX, the tail which for less than a year wagged
the dog of 1640 Enid
910, music, KPOF Denver, or KKBE Roswell
920, KLMR Lamar CO
930, NO WKY OKC audible
940, Amarillo
950, CCI music and talk, so KRWZ Parker CO, and KJTV Lubbock TX likely
970, Catholic from CO, so KFEL Pueblo
980, algo, probably KICA Clovis NM, or maybe KMBZ Kansas City
990, fast weak SAH: KRKS Denver, and KRSL Russell KS?
1000, JBA trace of algo, 2 stations: KTOK OKC, KKIM Albuquerque
1020, KCKN Roswell, Spanish still good
1040, C&W, must be KCBR Monument CO tho listed as CHR
1060, KRCN Denver Catholic
1070, very poor algo, KFTI Wichita or KWEL Midland TX
1080, very poor talk, so KRLD tho WBAP 820 is inaudible
1090, talk in English, CCI, so not 50 kW KXMA Aurora CO now Spanish, but maybe
KVOP Plainview TX
Almost time to move on, so a couple more quick chex:
1230, rippling fast SAH, music and algo; nearest are KKPC Pueblo CO, now public
radio; and KGRO Pampa TX
1240, sports-talk is VG, i.e. should be KXIT nearby Dalhart TX but listed as C&W
90.9, Sept 14 circa 1930 at Boise City OK, KJHL (as heard above in Clayton),
now at local range is flanked by distorted spurs circa 88.3 and 93.3, i.e.
approx. plus and minus 2.5 MHz. At 1943 this is running a COMMERCIAL, for a
tour in Dodge City; see KJIL991.com, more hard-sell ads from Great Plains
Christian Radio. So the flagship is in the commercial band, where it could run
ads, but this and other relays are in the non-comm band where that is verboten.
FCC FM Query does not make it clear whether each is licensed as non-commercial,
as could be the case even on 99.1. God`ll get `em for that? Not the FCC.
91.5, Sept 14 at 1944, on US 412 between Boise City and Guymon, classical
gaining here, no doubt the HPPR relay in Elkhart KS right across the border,
KZNZ, 250 watts. Then it starts to recede but:
91.3, Sept 14 circa 2030, KGUY Guymon, another HPPR relay with 800 watts gains
as 91.5 is receding. Eastward from Guymon as we lose 91.5, HPPR via full-power
KTOT 89.5 takes over again. We can also get a bit of flagship KANZ 91.1 Garden
City.
1210, just east of Guymon we pass again on the north side of the hiway, the
three towers in a row of KGYN, aimed right at Philadelphia. All of them are
still up, so why are they habitually running non-direxional at night as well as
day?
102.7, Sept 14 at 2134 on the Texas/Beaver county line, ``The Legend`` with
``That`s Just That, She`s Not Talkin``` i.e. KLDG 100 kW Liberal KS
101.5, Sept 14 at about 2140, silly Spanish talk with lo-fi call-ins, puns,
guffaws, $tereo pilot but mono sound, ``El Show de la Chocolata``, into music.
This is KSMM-FM, 100 kW also in Liberal KS, La Mexicana. 20-kiloperson little
Liberal is doing pretty well to count three 100 kW FM stations and a 50, the
others on 105.1 and 107.5, altho half of them are Spanish.
100.9, Sept 14 circa 2150, ads for Garden City KS --- but I can`t find any
station in the 5-state area related to Garden City. The closest likely to be
heard is 100 kW KXGL Amarillo TX.
99.5, Sept 14 at 2151, ``El Patr?n``, Spanish music; 2202, ``El Patr?n, tu
estaci?n``. This is KBIJ, 100 kW in Guymon, a new? station I was unaware of.
There are a lot of SS immigrants in the area, tnx to industries such as hog
farms. Patr?n means employer or boss, no doubt a familiar word to the workers.
And after that, getting back into familiar territory, the rest of my radio
listening on into Enid is on shortwave (Glenn Hauser, NM, TX, and OK, DX
