[IRCA] SOLVED! RE: WBAJ 890 SC WAS RE: ULTRALIGHT DX....Sunset Skip...3 NEW ONES!!

["HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS" <DAVID.HASCALL@xxxxxxxx>]

Although I have yet to hear from anyone about my tenative catch of WBAJ
890 SC, I did get an email reply @ home, yesterday.  It was indeed them.
Below is the reply.  I have sent him a thankful reply to let him know
that some stations ignore DX'ers and that I was grateful that he took
the time.  I mentioned that a DX'er in OR (Patrick) has verified over
3000 stations and that a DX'er in London Ontario (Rob Ross) logged WBAJ
just minutes before I did.  I did smile at his weather comment.

JJR: Please delete the "t" from my 890 logging.  It's New! :)

Merry Christams!

Hello,
 
Thanks for your email!
 
You did indeed hear our station, WBAJ ("We Broadcast About Jesus"), 890
am (same frequency as WLS).
 
We are a daytime-only station, 50,000 watts, in Columbia, SC.  We air
only religious talk shows, no music, and you heard part of the Joe Crews
show, where he gives his phone number (877-JOE-CREWS).  
 
It's unusual that we can be heard in Indiana, given the close proximity
of WLS, but then we've heard from listeners all over the country and
around the world, too.  We recently heard from a listener in Italy!  It
all depends on weather conditions, as you know.
 
Thanks for listening!
 
Bob
WBAJ, 890 am
Columbia SC

I think that I also heard WBAJ 890 SC, late Saturday afternoon.  I was
parking the car about 1710 EST and was hearing two stations.  One was
WLS (obviously) but a strong preacher-type was even over them at times.
I kept hearing "call 877-Joe Cruz (Cruise, Crews or similar)."  I'm not
sure if this was a promo or the start of one show and into another or
what.  The program *may* have been "Amazing Facts" which fits their
schedule but I don't see anything about Joe whoever.  Not much to go on.
However, I sent an email to some yahoo address Saturday night but no
reply, as of today.

So, unlike Willis, if someone wants to send me the CE or owners email or
forward this on for me, I'll take it. :)  I' can't count it until I
know, for sure.  If I'd been able to wait 5 or so more minutes, I might
have gotten the S/off.  Sigh.
