>> Heard with very faint code at 1:02 and 2:03 EST through a mix of IBOC hash (probably from WWJ-950 Detroit), WERC, WFIR, KMA (I just KNEW they would go 24 hours as soon as that antenna work was finished last fall), and the Cuban ticker.... With KMA 24 hours, is KGGF-690 Coffeyville the last nightly sign-offer in the Midwest? << This certainly brings up new questions aboutt something I was working on. On 1/15 at 0600 EST/0500 CST, I was listening to 960 to see if I could hear CFFX's final sign-off. I did not, but did hear a weak US National Anthem which I assumed was KMA coming on air. At the same time, Saul Chernos was also hearing the US NA, the first thing he picked up after CFFA shut off the power. Saul thought it might be KMA or possibly WHAK signing on; however the NRC Log says WHAK is 24 hours and the station itself has no web site to check out their schedule. Now Steve points out that KMA is 24 hours. Does anybody know of another station that signs on/off using NA? Nick Hall-Patch the other night heard KLFN with a sign-off, but I don't know if they play the NA; also a sign-on time of 0400 MST seems early. Three stations on 960 are listed as daytimers: KCGS Marshall AR (with their 500-watt psra they should not sign on until 6 AM CST, one hour later than when I was listening), KIMP Mt. Pleasant TX (ditto KCGS), and WQLA La Follette TN (Eastern time zone, 0745 EST January sunrise, psra status unknown). Of course, it is always possible that a 24-hour US station plays the NA every day at this time, Mexican station style. If anyone can shed some light on what station I might have heard, I sure would appreciate it. 73 Bill Dvorak Madison WI **************Start the year off right.
