Not only does KRVN bomb in this way, but KHAC with it's dysfunctional carrier+USB signal is often just as strong. I've found it very difficult to simultaneously null both out with just my tuned loop, or phase both out when adding in the vertical. But, I happened to notice last night that KRVN was totally dominating at 11:40pm MST and when phasing it out I still wasn't getting much if any KHAC. The Clark Howard show was playing and the only two listed 880 affiliates were KRVN (definitely not playing the show then) and KCMX. I was also getting two stations with Mexican music at times.
To make a long story short, with very precise phasing and 2+ hours of precise listening, I was able to double my 880 kHz logs and record call letters for both: 880 KCMX, Phoenix OR, very weak at 1:33am, 1000W, call (new; phaser) 880 KWIP, Dallas OR, weak at 2:00am, 1000, call (new; phaser) KWIP was one of the ones with the regional Mexican format, I think the other one was a Mexican station that I keep not being able to formally identify, maybe XEPNK. KHAC seemed to progressively come back through the morning, so I'm not sure if propagation was just unusual as opposed to them having a problem.
