It was very odd indeed this morning, with 1134, 1242, 1287 and 1422 being the strongest signals here. I had a lot of noise around 1575, so couldn't dig out audio, but there were two strong (and Doppler smeared) carriers of 1574.995 and 1574.993 kHz. MWoffset list says VoA is 1574.997, but

I'm playing around with my Misek phaser and am noticing 940 to be an interesting channel. The main station, semi-local is pretty much exactly on 940, but I'm also able to hear an oldies station (Tell Laura I love her, etc) is on 940.174 playing Big Bad John right now (06:11 UTC). I'm seeing

I guess I can answer the question myself. Looked at the MW Offset list, and sure enough, XEMMM in Mexicali, Mexico is on exactly that frequency with oldies format. Must be them! Still an interesting frequency, though...Walt ___ IRCA mailing list

Walt, I hear KMER Kemmerer, WY on 940 often. They run only 150w at night, but gets out well. They used to be a 5 KW daytimer on 950 for years, but moved because of KOVO's power boost and dropped power. KMER is oldies. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager
