[IRCA] Logged a NEW AMer in Dec 2015…..and didn't even know it!!

Hi Guys:

   Kinda weird how things work out sometimes……….

Back on Dec/15/2015 I logged the following UNID Station which had me sorta puzzled. I figured it was something in North Carolina…..but couldn't figure out why WEGG 710 was IDing on 1430 Khz during an AURORA Opening????

Here's my Original Logging from back then….Maybe you remember it??? Probably not!! HAHAHHAHAH


************************************************************************************
1430  ???? UNID  NORTH CAROLINA??  Dec/15/15   1900 EST    EE       GOOD
Male DJ with ID @ 1900 EST as " WEGG 710 Rose Hill (And Multi City ID) and 
100.5 W263BE Rose Hill (And Multi City ID). Home of the World's Largest Frying Pan - 
SURGE 100.5 and 710 AM and Streaming Worldwide @ SURGERADIO dot org".

The ID is obviously for SURGE RADIO WEGG 710 and W263BE 100.5 in Rose Hill, NC.
However I can't see any correlation with WEGG 710 and any station on 1430 Khz????

Anyone know who may be relaying WEGG 710 on 1430 Khz???

UNID …Probably North Carolina

Anyways…while I was on the Cruise to Alaska, I guess someone sent me a Message on Facebook, that I didn't see until tonight. This message I received EXPLAINS EVERYTHING!!! Not only does it ID what I heard on Dec/15/2015, it also turns out to be a NEW STN!!

Here's the Facebook Message I received………...

Greetings Robert,
My name is Ken, I'm the PD at WEGG 710/100.5 (and owner of the 100.5 translator). I came across a post you made from last year, and you were curious about why you were hearing us on 1430 AM. My friend Jimmy Mayo owns WDJS 1430 AM in Mount Olive, NC. He was simulcasting our internet stream over his station during afternoons and evenings for awhile. Meanwhile, around the time you described, he was "conducting tests" while running his station at 15,000 watts non-directional in the middle of the night, on tower #1 of his 5 tower array. Hope that helps! 

So, thanks to this fellow sending me this message….My UNID Logging above now becomes…. What I suspected it was….but could never fully explain or confirm!
