Report from Mark Connelly - Billerica, MA
Receiver: JRC NRD-525; Antenna: two 37-m wires, DL-2 phasing unit
Dates: 1996 -=- Times: EST (UTC-5)
1670 KTRK a.k.a A-R-M-Y, Fort Meade, MD (NSA-land) - I heard this
first on the evening of 5 FEB with a strong signal equal to,
or better than, adjacent WJDM (NJ) on 1660. E-mail messages
from Dave Yocis (via hard-core) and Al Merriman had tipped me
off to this. On 6 FEB from 0005 to 0052, I taped a section of
the broadcast. Two male announcers gave ID as "KTRK, K-Truck"
and a pre-recorded announcement by a woman gave the mailing
address as "ABS, 601 N. Fairfax St., Room 340, Alexandria,
VA 22314". A telephone number of 1-301-677-1377 was also
given. Hard rock from the '70s and early '80s was played:
this included AC/DC, Rush, and Deep Purple. The following
evening (6 FEB, around 1900 EST), the station was identifying
as A-R-M-Y and a black DJ (I think) was doing a show of dance
and soul hits, mostly from the '80s. I called their phone
number and the operator on duty said that the "KTRK" call
had to be dropped because a TV station in Arizona owned it.
(That shows the degree of non-communication among various
government agencies ! We live in the "age of information"
but you wouldn't know it from this.) I told them that the
station had a great signal here 15 miles / 24 km outside
Boston. At the time I called, they had already gotten
reports from all over the USA and Canada as well as one
report from Sweden. [Connelly-MA]
