Hello All, There was another halfhearted sunrise enhancement this morning on the high band, similar to the effect two days ago. The same four high band Asians (1503-JOUK, 1566-HLAZ, 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1) once again took turns producing anemic audio from 1530-1600, with 1566-HLAZ the best of

If you have a recording of 1503 Gary, listen again. I think that I was hearing R Taiwan International in Thai there today (was logged here last season about this time) but maybe not7445 didn't seem to be parallel, but neither did 594 on a quick listen. I'll have to go over the

Derek, I sent the clip featuring KSMX to a friend who works there and we're not sure who the background station is bured under KSMX.. we think it's possible it may be an ad and not a station id.. but it sounds liek a legal ID. In your second clip, all I can remotely make out is a mention of

I get something like WEZH out of the first one, and something like KCAG out of the second. Not much close enough on either of them that I can see. The second one is definitely a K-call as 12450 is mentioned. The first one might not be calls at all, as Paul has already noted. Russ Edmunds 15

That probably rules out any real chance of the first one being call letters then. I wonder if the second one might be KTHE-WY ? That's the only call remotely close to what I'd thought I'd heard. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id wb2...@yahoo.com

What does 12450 have to do with it being a K Call? 12450 is a zip code in NY. KTHE is reportedly silent... well, they filed for special temporary authority to go silent 6 months ago, it was never granted..but it doesn't mean they didn't go silent and come back on. Paul On Fri, Dec 13, 2013 at

12450 is a typo - intended to be 1240 I have no info on KTHE other than its existence, so I have no idea as to its current on-air status. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id wb2...@yahoo.com On Fri, 12/13/13, Paul B. Walker, Jr.

I was beginning to think of giving up, but stayed on the dials for a bit longer, I have an old radio with analog dial and I logged one station somewhere in the 1200's and after 930PM, it sounded like a gospel program and mentions of towns like Oakville and Brampton. What station is this?

There is no KEXY. Do you mean KEZY in San Bernardino? KNXN is on 1470. Do you mean KNSN in San Diego? Both fit. KJOP gets out well. The Christmas music on KNRY is preceding a format change. The new owner has taken over. I think it may go adult standards or jazz after Christmas or on January
