Re: [IRCA] KHIL 1250 Wilcox AZ Format change?
KHIL was a regular in the afternoons into Rancho Mirage CA when I was there in 2000. KHIL even QSL'd my report with a nice verie letter. I am surprised they went with an Oldies/AC type format.

Re: [IRCA] KHIL 1250 Wilcox AZ Format change?
Kind of sad that the station formerly on 1250 just basically abandoned its former city of license Wickenburg AZ and moved all the way to the other side of Phoenix. 1260 there used to be occupied by KPIN country named for (Pinal?) county. It was later bought by Frank Sinatra and became KFAS (his initials) then eventually went silent. I verified Wickenburg 1250 as KTIM. Prior to that for many years they were KSYY.

Re: [IRCA] KHIL 1250 Wilcox AZ Format change?
Just to update my reply, around lunchtime today I checked this out on the car radio for 15 minutes. Did not hear anything at all on 1250 (KHIL is about 215 miles away, 10 kW ND), but had steady decent audio for Comedy 1260 KBSZ out of Apache Junction in the same direction (~100 miles away, 4.5 kW ND). As Paul noted, that station now blocks KHIL from trying again to move to 1260.

Re: [IRCA] KHIL 1250 Wilcox AZ Format change?
They have had this new format for some time now. I haven't heard if it has improved their ratings or not. Seems they have had those call letters forever.

Thanks Paul. I just cannot see that format going anywhere. Maybe in a big city, but in a small conservative AZ town?

Re: [IRCA] KHIL 1250 Wilcox AZ Format change?
I be driven past their tower and little transmitter shack along the 10 freeway in the past. I didn't see a good vantage point for a photograph but I'm sure where there's a will there's a way. Many AZ stations are easy pickings here in the morning. Ms Sent from my iPod On Oct 28, 2014, at 12:18 AM, Patrick Martin mwd...@webtv.net wrote: Thanks Mike.

Re: [IRCA] KHIL 1250 Wilcox AZ Format change?
They were denied a move to 1260, a new tower location, and a boost in daytime power back in 2008 that should have given them better coverage into areas between Phoenix and Tucson and into those metro areas. They're now owned out of North Carolina. I've done very little daytime DXing and I've just barely picked up their nighttime signal from 214 miles away. -- Brian Rachford - Prescott, AZ azswdx...@gmail.com http://azswdxing.wordpress.com/ ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
