Re: [HCDX] On the road in OK, NM, AM & FM notes - followups
{replies since original post have been inserted in brackets; only pertinent
entries repeated}
1340, 2300+ Aug 19, at Clayton NM, we started looking for KSSR Santa Rosa NM,
whose activity has been in question. It is not currently on NRC`s silent
stations list, and FCC shows it still licensed. We were hearing at least two
1340 stations, one of which was KVOT Taos NM, another progressive station, now
with Rachel Maddow show on Air America, the other ``Sports Radio 1340`` making
a rumbling het, and fading up at 2305 as skywave may have been starting to kick
in, west Texas forecast, 1-866-290-6868 ad about credit. KKAM Lubbock is the
one that fits.
Further into NM on US 412 kept looking for signs of KSSR, but KVOT improved as
we got closer to it; at 2332 PSA for Albuquerque Museum i.a., mentioning Taos,
more Maddow. (BTW, Rachel is getting her own show on MSNBC following Countdown
at 0100 UT starting September 9. Can`t say we are surprised, as her star has
been rising as a frequent contributor and sub-host on Countdown, but what
becomes of Dan Abrams, Verdict? It`s already gone for elexion special Aug 30.
And will she keep doing her Air America show despite the pay differential?)
It turned out we did not make it to my old hometown of Santa Rosa on this trip,
but the closest point was on I-25 near Las Vegas, US 84 exit at 1950 Aug 25,
and there was still no KSSR to be heard, so I am confident it was off. Nor
could I hear Santa Rosa on 95.9, but did not expect to from there as it has
always been QRP along I-40, audible only within a few miles of the town. At
1934 Aug 25, 1340 bore ``Northern New Mexico`s progressive talk, KVOT, the
Voice of Taos``. This frequency was reactivated in Taos a few years ago after
several years of silence since KKIT closed (named for Kit Carson). See DXLD
5-177 for our previous report about Santa Rosa and much more, under USA.
{Glenn, Sounds like a fun trip. One of the highlights of any trip is DXing
along the way. Concerning Santa Rosa, 1340 continues to be silent. The FM is on
the tower at about 150' so they don't set the woods on fire. When we changed
our day pattern last year we swung the northern lobe east about 20 degrees,
with almost 1 mv we now put the strongest AM signal into SR and close to 2 mv
into Fort Sumner. Few people realize they shot some scenes for the "Grapes of
Wrath" in Santa Rosa. Beautiful little classic town. Hope all is well, (Jerry
Kiefer, KCKN 1020, Roswell NM, DX LISTENING DIGEST)}
1570, back in Enid around 2000 Aug 28, found new talking house at 1330 West
Elm, low het but not sure if off-frequency or on their loop. Woman extolling
house virtues, and like others we have heard here, also extolling the
talking-house concept. Range 2 or 4 blox only, and by downtown Enid fortunately
inaudible, so we can hear weakly standards from KZLI Catoosa. But the next-door
neighbors are doubtless deprived of XERF at night until it`s sold.
{Interesting for a couple of reasons, One that it's on 1570 home to
local KNDY and second because I called 1909 West Elm home during my
stay in Enid. I moved out eleven years ago so memories of the
neighborhood are starting to fade a bit.
I presume they're using some Part 15 device and that they look for some
non-local "open" frequency to set up shop? Do they have a sign out front with
the frequency posted? 73, de (Nate Bargmann, KS, N0NB, dxldyg via DX LISTENING
DIGEST)}
{The sign in front of the house shows the frequency, or we might never have
noticed it; refers to Smith Realty, phone 233-4040 and also to the agent on the
recording, Samantha (Sam), Sabedra --- is that an anglicization of Saavedra? No
Spanish accent, and she speaks quite slowly and distinctly, which is no
advantage when idling in front of the house waiting for her to get around to
mentioning the price again, $55,900, but helps readability vs the continuous
big hum. Her own number is 580-554-7279. Abode has new electrical and plumbing
featuring no galvanized pipes. In promoting Talking House sales method, claims
she is the only agent in the area using it, and it is at no extra cost to
clients. She has lived here for 20 years and has been realtor a hefty 2 years!
Opens with ``Hi, neighbors!`` -- gh}
1660, 0038 UT Wed Aug 27, baseball game, and Royals mentioned, heard from near
Woodward OK. Dominant signal and I figured it had to be KXTR Kansas City
departing from its classical format, but not so sure after further research.
Royals website says 610 is the flagship, except on Sundays 980, but I believe
all these are commonly owned, so 1660 sometimes carries BB instead? KXTR
website has no info about its own programming after the morning hours, but
nothing about baseball. If not KXTR, must be KRZI Waco or maybe KQWB Fargo,
both sports format.
{Yes, it is KXTR! UT Sunday Aug 31 at 0032 on 1660 I was hearing definite KC
ads, including mentions of Shawnee Mission, and then back to baseball. So how

[HCDX] New RNZI Mailbox Documentary Celebrates 60 Years of RNZ Shortwave
___ Radio New Zealand International 60th Anniversary 1948-2008 RNZI Mailbox Documentary ___ Listen to Mailbox on RNZI this week as David Ricquish of the Radio Heritage Foundation looks at the history of shortwave radio from New Zealand. On September 27 1948, the shortwave division of the NZ Broadcasting Service began broadcasts to Australia and the South Pacific from two low powered war surplus transmitters located near Wellington. In this special Mailbox documentary, you can hear how shortwave radio started in New Zealand, including calls for a national shortwave service as early as 1928. Private commercial stations 2ZW Wellington, 3ZC Christchurch and 4ZM Dunedin were all early shortwave broadcasters, and the program takes us through the early years that led up to the late arrival of Radio NZ on the international airwaves. Hear how the NZ Post & Telegraph office played a pivotal role in getting regular shortwave broadcasts on air as early as the 1930's, and how the relays of domestic radio services such as 2YA and 2ZB in Wellington proved popular with foreign listeners. Audio includes the famous birdsong interval signal that for many years announced the arrival of a RNZ shortwave broadcast, the opening announcement by the Prime Minister of the day, and an excerpt from the most popular program in the early days, 'Song and Story of the Maori' broadcast in 1949. Now known as Radio New Zealand International, the station has always worked hard to stay true to the original vision announced on opening day in 1948. It's growing popularity with partner stations across the Pacific some 60 years later demonstrates how this small shortwave station from the South Pacific has quietly gone about targeting its niche audience yet with popularity amongst shortwave listeners worldwide that belies its small resource base and regional focus. Visit www.rnzi.com for shortwave frequencies and times and to download an audio on demand version of the program that will be available throughout September, the anniversary month. It's now available by first clicking 'more audio' then the Mailbox program uploaded on August 31. A second radioheritage documentary on September 15 will continue to celebrate 60 years of service to the Pacific by RNZI. At www.radioheritage.net you can read an article celebrating the first broadcasts from Radio New Zealand, the original shortwave service in 1948. Look for 'Radio New Zealand Signs On' to see details of the original programs, technical information about the original station and more history of the station. For more information about early days of broadcasting in the Pacific including stories and images and the popular Art of Radio Hawaii online exhibition, visit www.radioheritage.net today. Full searchable lists of todays AM and shortwave stations in the Pacific are available free online in the Pacific Asian Log Radio Guides. An FM guide is currently in preparation. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a non-profit organization registered with the Charities Commission in New Zealand and connects the heritage of radio broadcasting and popular culture across the Pacific. www.radioheritage.net. Radio New Zealand International is the award winning shortwave broadcaster serving the Pacific from Wellington, New Zealand since 1948. www.rnzi.com. ___ To unsubscribe email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the subject line.
