I drove past this station, in May 2005 when Patty and I
were in UT. They sounded like they were programmed
from a CD changer. Long tracks of music, sometimes
spoken word. I never managed to record a call ID but
did record a plea for funds once. They are next to an
Indian temple, and cows wander around the grounds.
Pretty unusual for UT, I thought.

They were definitely krishna back in May, but I have no
idea what they are doing today. They are several miles
south of S.Fork, I think it was on Rte 6. If anyone wants,
I can get the coords out of my Magellan GPS. I have some
pictures, as well. Studio/xr is right on the w. side of the road.

I wasted a lot of my semi-limited time available for
recording IDs by sitting on 1480 at TOH and they would
just blow right through TOH with mx, annmts (very few)
could have come at any time. But they were easy in Orem
(where we were staying) and I could hear them at night.

It is one of those weird laws of DX that the harder to
hear an ID, the more time you waste waiting for one.

Don, you have your work cut out for you, if what they were
doing in May is still valid.
