** OKLAHOMA. Enid`s X-band station, 1640 has just changed format. It had been
Fox sports talk, but who needs that with Chisholm Trail`s other station KCRC
1390 also sportstalk with ESPN?? Well, we ``needed`` that for several years.
But this church-on-every-streetcorner town has an even greater ``need`` ---
First noticed April 6 as I tuned by at 0618 UT playing country gospel music!
0621 slogan thrice as ``solid gospel music``, and ``The new Faith 1640``. Are
the calls still KFXY?
Yes, next check at 1557 UT again slogan ``The new Faith 1640``, and 1559 legal
ID as ``KFXY, Enid-Oklahoma City, bringing you the best, a better variety of
southern gospel music, the new Faith 1640``.
1600 into SRN News, which consists of two minutes of seemingly secular world
news, a minute of religious promotion, and the remaining two minutes of the
``news`` with a pro-Christian, anti-Moslem slant.
1605 back to gospel music. Thus KFXY has switched from one totally useless
format to another, as far as I am concerned. Now that I have got the word out,
back to ignoring 1640.
As a reminder, this station is one of few on the X-band with a direxional
antenna, same day and night, NNW/SSE from a site a few miles east of Hennessey,
so it gets into city of license OK and also into Oklahoma City, 10 kW day and 1
kW night, --- but makes it difficult to DX in Europe, Australia and New
Zealand, and also in much of North America, off the sides of the beam (Glenn
