Looking for anyone living in Central or Eastern Time Zones who might've
had a tape recorder rolling during the DX test of KNAK-540 in Utah in
January 1993 (sorry, can't remember the exact date). I never got the test
from KNAK, but I heard two unIDs on 540 that morning that have bedeviled
me for years. One was playing classical music (Note: AFTER CBK's s/off!)
and the other had a rock (or oldies) format with "Brother Louie" by the
Stories, "Whipping Post" by The Allman Brothers, and "Wild Thing" by the
Troggs.
The 540 was almost certainly one of Saul Levine's southern
California/Tijuana pair. It appears the Tijuana 540 didn't become
classical XEBACH until 1998 or thereabouts, so we can probably narrow this
down to the now-defunct KKGO 540 Costa Mesa (which wasn't really in Costa
Mesa, but 90 miles away in Hesperia.)
I've had the chance to do some more digging, and I now agree with Rick
that the 540 with classical wasn't California or Tijuana. In 1993, the M
Street directory lists 540 as KOJY, doing standards // KJQI 1260. That
makes WWCS-PA the far more likely option.
