Okay, but...

I've heard WDMG a number of times in recent times... in fact, other than 
Reloj, they're the most common station heard under CJBC here at night.
The UNID station I heard last night was way off frequency, at 859.84, 
whereas I have never noted WDMG to be significantly off the nominal 860 
frequency.  So, I conclude that I was hearing a different station.  The 
Alabama reference could be a red herring, possibly not referring to their 
college basketball team, but something else entirely.

The oddball carrier frequency of this station is the key here, so folks 
should keep an ear open for that 160 Hz het...
