All times ELT. STATION NEWS 1050 KMTA MT Miles City - 2/8 1836 - Fair with ID: "KMTA can now be heard on 1050 AM and 95.3 FM." Most likely the same station I heard about 15 minutes earlier with Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty." Appears to have returned to the air sometime around February 1. (RD-NE2) 1470 KWSL IA Sioux City - 3/3 1527 - This station's bi-annual habit of changing formats continues. Noted at this time with Don Williams song "Love Me Over Again", then voice-tracked chatter by male DJ that included a mention of "1470 The Whistle", and a promo of their website www.1470kwsl.com. (RD-NE2) DX TESTS 560 WFIL PA Philadelphia - 2/12 0003 - Weak under WIND (and in the null of KWTO, which was airing a Jack Benny episode of "When Radio Was") with sweep tones during DX test. A descending tone heard a few minutes later, and that was the last I heard from WFIL during the hour-long test. PA #4 at this QTH. (RD-NE1) 580 WHP PA Harrisburg - 2/27 0005, 0033, and 0105 - Tried for, not heard. Channel was ruled by WIBW and XEMU. (RD- NE1) 1460 WTKT PA Harrisburg - 2/27 0015 and 0045 - Didn't expect this one to pop through, and it didn't. (RD-NE1) 1550 KRPI WA Ferndale - 2/26 - Heard bits and pieces of code ID at 0400, 0405, and 0410, but at 0420, the signal was good enough that I was able to get the entire sequence of code at two different pitches played twice. A report has been sent to David Harris. WA #2 at this QTH. (RD-NE1) LOGGINGS 560 KLZ CO Denver - 2/12 0059 - A nice surprise at the end of WFIL's test period. Fair with rerun of Michael Savage talk program, then "...legendary KLZ..." heard in legal ID. WIND picked a good time to take a dive. (RD-NE1) 640 KTIB LA Thibodaux - 2/13 0202 - Good, over WWLS, with ending of Led Zeppelin warhorse "Stairway To Heaven", then a canned ID: "...KTIB, Thibodaux, a (inaudible) Broadcasting station", then into Bob Dylan's immortal "Like A Rolling Stone". Musta been on the day rig. (RD-NE1) 750 KHWG NV Fallon - 2/12 2304 - Faint under WSB with Hank Williams' "Moanin' The Blues" and Gale Garnett's "We'll Sing In The Sunshine." Confirmed via KHWG's webstream, which was about 30 seconds behind. Big-time kudos go out to Bill Dvorak and Neil Kazaross for the tip on this. (RD-NE1) 800 CHAB SK Moose Jaw - 1/28 1821 - Good with ID: "Playing the greatest hits of all time...CHAB", then into the Guess Who's "Clap For The Wolfman". (RD-NE1) 880 CHQT AB Edmonton - 2/13 0208 - Very good and along with news and several "I News 880" IDs. First time heard from anywhere for me, and my first Edmonton station logged since the early 1990s. (RD-NE1) 930 KROE WY Sheridan - 1/27 1830 - Good with "KROE" jingle ID, then into "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" by Tavares. (RD-NE2) 970 WHA WI Madison - 2/21 1820 - Fair in KMA splatter with call-in program about the problem of underage drinking in Wisconsin, phone # given out as 1-800-486-6655. Nice ID at 1829 as "Ideas 970 AM, WHA, Madison." (RD-NE2) 980 KRTX TX Rosenberg - 3/1 2305 - Good with several "Radio Aleluya" jingle IDs after accordion-heavy SS mx. Only Spanish station, either domestic or Mexican, that I can find on the channel using this slogan, so I'm counting it as this. (RD-NE1) 1040 CKST BC Vancouver - 2/26 0604 - Stayed up after KRPI's test, and was glad I did. Fair under WHO with Ben Maller on Fox Sports Radio //CKST's webstream. BC #1 at this QTH. (RD-NE1) 1050 KSIS MO Sedalia - 2/19 0806 - Fair with live start of syndicated knick-knack-appraisal program "Whatcha Got". Had no clue who this was, until checking the show's website, which turned up this and a station in New York as the only affiliates on 1050. Since it was looping SE from here and it was well after sunrise in New York, I'm counting it as KSIS. (RD- NE1) 1050 WDVM WI Eau Claire - 3/2 1832 - Fair and alone with Catholic programming, an ad that included a 715 area code #, then a message fom the head of the archdiocese of La Crosse. Was trying for WDZ, which remains elusive. (RD-NE2) 1060 KIJN TX Farwell - 2/11 0033 - On obvious day power, fair and alone with "Kah-Ee-Hotah-Ennay" jingle ID, then into SS music. (RD-NE1) 1250 KZDC TX San Antonio - 2/14 1842 - Weak with talk about the release of the 2012 Big XII football schedule, mention of an upcoming interview with a contributor to the Longhorn-based website www.insidetexas.com, then an ID as "ESPN 1250 The Zone." (RD-NE2) 1300 WOOD MI Grand Rapids - 2/4 2140 - Fair with Grand Rapids Grffins HKY vs. Hamilton. (RD-NE1) 1300 WOAD MS Jackson - 2/4 2241 - Weak under KAKC with black gospel music. Confirmed via WOAD's webstream, which was roughly 15 seconds behind. (RD-NE1) 1300 KBRL NE McCook - 2/4 2259 - Fair with only "...KBRL, McCook" heard in legal ID. (RD-NE1) 1450 WRLL IL Chicago - 2/25 0009 - Fair with radio pointed E-W with nortena music //WRLL's webstream. The other Chicago station that shares this frequency, WCEV, comes in here regularly when it's on, so I figured it was only a matter of time before this one showed up. (RD-NE1) 1460 KLTC ND Dickinson - 3/2 1805 - Very good with ID: "Classic Country AM 1460 KLTC, Dickinson." Not new, but not heard this well before, and an indicator that a good opening to the Northern Plains was in progress. (RD-NE2) 1530 KVDW AR England - 2/5 2247 - Came home from a Super Bowl party to find the listservers all abuzz with news of this one staying on late. Good signal at this time under WCKY with black gospel music and an ad for a local business that included a 501 area code #. Last heard years ago as KLRA. (RD-NE1) 1630 KKGM TX Fort Worth - 1/28 0158 - Fair under KCJJ with talk program, then "Better Life Radio" ID. (RD-NE1) RD-NE1 Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska Sangean ATS-909X barefoot RD-NE2 Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska 2009 Ford Ranger factory radio _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
