At 0500 UTC this evening KYWN was back to dominating the channel on my
south antenna. Certainly doesn't sound like 250 watt night power to
me, but definitely not 50 kW either. If it's only 1 kW it's doing
pretty well. Had legal ID hear the hour, but otherwise most of the
IDs are simply as "Ocho noventa AM". Audio is pretty decent tonight,
but if they have issues perhaps they were off this morning.

According to a broadcast engineer in the Boise marjket who contacted

"KYWN 890 Meridian has not run their 50 kw for over a year. 1 kw MAX
now. And in that recording it sounds too good to be them as they are
running telephone quality audio with frequent drop outs.

After re-checking my recording to answer this query it turns out I
have to eat my words. Yes, Tim's recording matched mine
perfectly, but it seems neither one of us was hearing KYWN, but
rather KMJE from California, one I've never logged before (mainly
due to KYWN). The legal ID gives both the FM (92.1) and AM.
The FM ID is given as KMJE, but I'm certain the announcer gives
the AM call as KMKE, though as far as I can make out it should
legally be KMJE. The slogan is La Buena. I'll have to check on
the KYWN slogan.
Also had KMJE at 1300 and 1400 UTC , so not sure if KYWN is off
the air, or just unusual propagation. Just goes to show, never
assume anything.
My apologies for leading Tim astray, and thanks to Kaz for making
me research a bit more, and getting me a new one!

Nice catch, Tim ! Nigel, what is the slogan from this one now?
I can't quite copy it cleanly under WLS on Tim's clip. 73 KAZ

Hi Tim,
Definitely KYWN in Meridian, ID. I happened to still
have my Perseus
recording from this morning, and it matched up perfectly.
A pest here,
but nice catch down your way.

Had a decent opening here to the west this morning at
sunrise and caught
this UNID SS station on 890 under a strong WLS. I'd be
grateful if anyone
could lend an ear and help with the ID, or at least
help with what's being
said here. I have a station in mind but I'll wait to
hear from others
first. Here's a link to the clip from 1203 UTC, 890
kHz, phased BOGs
towards the west:

The Spanish talk begins at 1:13 in the clip with what
I think could be call
letters.
Many thanks for lending your ears!
