You guys are not hearing things. Checked 660 at midnight PST and when
looping the Kiwa north I had KXOR just booming in. Looping E/SE brought
in KTNN-AZ with almost as good a signal and KXOR in the background.
Anyway as Pete noted they finished a song a tad after midnight and gave

Within the past month, as experienced TP and TA DXers have increasingly
been swept into the Ultralight radio DXing craze, a transforming force has
been gaining momentum, causing the direction of ULR transoceanic DXing to have
a significant change.

I e mailed an FCC official about a station once and the FCC official
being in Portland did not really investagate the station as it was in

they do not have the resources or manpower to ride herd on broadcasters

Hi everyone! Spent a wonderful sunny and mild afternoon repairing antennae
that had been downed by our winter storms. Listening right now to fair audio
of presumed Virgin Radio with usual format on 1215 at 01:43 UTC, best heard on
my Perseus SDR in AM. Very easy to see on the spectrum
Thanks Walt. Just a very weak carrier here on 1215. Just being 150
miles to the NNE, makes a big difference on TAs.
Unfortunately I have a lot of blockage to the NE with the hills to the
Coast Range as you might remember.

Of course, I love the 400 kHz spectrum display
Yes indeed KXOR was LOUD tonight, even mixing with Calgary off the

This is probably true. However, there are other columns which report
call letter change grants. This list is primarily for what's being
heard. In this case, they are new calls for me, and seemingly for
everyone else, since I haven't seen anyone else report having heard
them.
