Finally, after chasing this for three hours tonight, a solid ID from KIVA at 0558 UTC with literally two minutes to spare before their switch to 1600 KHz at 0600 UTC. At 0558 UTC an announcer gave what sounded like an unscripted and possibly live announcement: "Alright everybody this is 1550 KIVA, soon to become in two minutes 1600 KIVA..." and cited the move due to having "tremendous growth during the last nine months and now is a great opportunity for us to move to a much bigger signal.." and thanked listeners and invited them to rockoftalk.com What a way to log a new one! Thanks to KAZ for the alert last week, it paid off tonight. The time wasn't all wasted either as 1550 KDCC Dodge City, KS. (1kw/90w) was also heard for the first time.
