[IRCA] Kansas

Hi Group & Happy Easter


On 1660 kHz, for the last week or so, I have been hearing classical music,
which according to the NRC Radio Directory, can only be KXTR in Kansas City,
KS.  This is relatively weak signal that tends to drift in and out, and I am
inside a circle of stations from North Dakota, Kansas, Kalamazoo Michigan,
Puerto Rico, New Jersey, and North Carolina. Obviously, I need a directional
loop antenna to sort them out. 

Earlier attempts to confirm reception have been just as frustrating. Dialing
the station's phone number late at night connects me with an automated
attendant and no option to get to the "on-air" (if any) staff. Their website
has a "listen now" feature that doesn't work. Lastly, their website has a
"did you like what heard?" feature that only works for morning broadcasts,
but nothing for late at night.

The good news: I did get in a nice audio recording where their signal peaked
for about a half minute. Hopefully the station will be kind enough to answer
a letter with this audio enclosed.

I know, a lot of trouble to go through, but I am quite proud to say Kansas
#2 after hearing KKOW 860 for the first time last fall.
