** CANADA. As I was searching the MW band for Ike-related anomalies, I was sidetracked by good signal on 540 playing ``O, Carol``, and back-announcement soon recognized as Randy Bachman`s Vinyl Tap on CBC Radio 1, i.e. CBK Saskatchewan; this was way over XEWA, as sometimes happens when northern conditions are good. Then at 0605 on 990 it was Radio Netherlands` ``Bridges With Africa`` program, i.e. via WRN via CBC Overnight via CBW Manitoba. No IBOC audible from KTOK 1000 at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Tnx to numerous tips on numerous lists, KGOW 1560 Bellaire TX, strong here at 0512 UT Sept 13, H. Ike coverage reported as simulcasting audio of KPRC-TV 2. Obviously running day power of 50 kW for the emergency, and Jerry Kiefer says more like 300 kW ERP usward! There must have been a lot of changes since the year+old NRC AM Log 2007 which showed: KILE Bellaire TX C D3 50000 -psra 154 - CP U5 50000/1000 AP U4. 10614 Rockley Road, Houston 77099-3514 - 281-564-7064. ETHNIC - 0700-LSS What is KGOW normal format now, and what does the 2008 NRC Log say? Radio-locator.com has different address in Rogers TX and says night power is normally 100 watts; linx to coverage maps too: http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?call=KGOW&sr=Y&s=C&x=14&y=6 At 0550 UT Sept 13 in the null of WSM, I heard ``News-talk 650`` non-ID, also tnx to no IBOC audible at the moment from WWLS-640 in the same direxion. I suspected this was KIKK Pasadena TX, normally daytimer only, but also doing its part for the emergency, which isn`t much with only a 250 watt transmitter, and probably getting creamed in Houston by WSM et al. That is, until I found a perfect match on the slogan in the 2007 NRC AM Log for CKOM Saskatoon. Other 650 news/talk format stations listed are in AK, CA, MN, and plain old talk in VA and WY. So can`t be sure (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
