There's a station on 780 right now (0824 UTC) running nonstop oldies
songs about cars motorcycles (Leader of the Pack, Hot Rod Lincoln,
Born to be Wild, etc), mixing with WBBM on the NE lobe of the K9AY.
KKOH is dominant with CtC on the SE lobe so not them, and the music
would be a bit out
It was KNOM after all. They gradually drifted away from the motor
vehicle theme, ending up with a jazz version of Little Drummer Boy just
before the legal ID at 0900. It's now dominating with weather, a nice
ID, and into a retro AT-40 show at 0905. I knew KNOM played lots of
non-religious
JOIB-747 and JOUB-774 have nice signals at the moment (0910 UT). 594
and 693 are producing audio as well.

Quite a few JJs are in here too, 531, 567, 594, 666, 693, 702, 729, 747,
774, 828, 873, 891, 1278, 1287, etc. 774 is the strongest so far.

Listened from 1355-1425 utc and conditions was down from yesterday and the only
audio was from JOUB-774 at 1412 utc. Very weak carriers on 279, 558, 594 and

Obviously the time to listen for themit's approaching 1500UT
here, and I won't say the Japanese are completely absent, but
they're in spectacularly poor shape. 774 was being heard here
better last night at 0630UT. For those that care, they start fading
in about that time at this time
I went to bed after my original post, but left the SDR recording 690-870
kHz. JOIB was pretty decent at times past 1100 UT when the recordings
stopped. JOBB-828 had fair audio at times. JOUB-774 was in as well,
but hampered by splatter from KTTH-770. There were bits of audio on 738
at 1100

Steve,
A few years ago, I devoted a considerable amount of time to DXing the Graveyard
Channels, and found it frustrating, maddening, and ultimately, rewarding. This
is a truly amazing reception, and you should be proud of your efforts.
Take it from the “Gravedigger”.

Pat,
For reasons I don't remember all my graveyard catches from California
were in the western 13 states. The early 70s were a rough time in my
life and I was inactive dxing from 1970-1975 when I got back in gear in
S.F. So I missed those periods when 1400 was open.

KJDY is fairly easy at night. Not super commoin, but I hear it several

Interesting Nick, as 1215 is doing nearly nothing here in southern
Alberta. On the other hand I do have decent carriers on 1467, 1548,
and 1575. (Or, at least I did a few minutes ago, as they've gone into a
fade at the moment).

I wonder if the R8 might be a little off frequency Patrick, as
usually what has delivered audio this year has been Absolute, and
that's right on 1215.... Maybe you could look at zero beating
KSL, as I think that should be right on 1160 and would be a good check.
So far, all the TA
I tried to make the same suggestion earlier but got two bounces saying the
email could not be delivered. There's not been anything noted near 1214.92 and
if it is strong enough for Patrick to have noticed it, surely someone else
