[IRCA] Weekend Update - WPBS 1040 ID'd FINALLY!

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

Hi;

Over the weekend, I added two to the overall and ULR logbooks.  Friday
night at 1700 I finally got a "countable ID" from WPBS 1040 Conyers, GA.
I have known since September that this is the station that I have been
hearing before their s/off but just nothing concrete enough to mark it
down.  A few East Coast DX'ers mentioned hearing TOH LID in EE.  I
almost forgot at 5 PM EST and turned on the Grundig S-350 and adjusted
the nearby Select-a-Tenna to further null WHO / amplify WPBS and heard a
tone at 5:01 PM that said "You are listening to AM 1040, WPBS, Conyers /
Atlanta, Georgia," before going back into KK programming.  I was
thinking that this station was VV until finding a website, buried way
down in Google after searching for WPBS 1040 -
www.atlantaradiokorea.com.  They do not do an ID at s/off as I think
that simulcast on two other stations and simply switch the 1040 rig off
in mid sentence.  SO, if you want an ID from WPBS (Rob and Saul) try at
the TOH.  Thanks for all of the help on this one. 

I also logged the new X-Band CJEU 1670 from Quebec with kids Christmas
music.  Thanks to Barry and others on this one for the tip.

1040 WPBS GA Conyers 12-11 1701 EE ID @ TOH.  Strong w/KK talk and
classic EE pop.  Been trying for a positive ID for months. DH-IN

1670 CJEU PQ Gatineau 12-12 0100 Kids Christmas music.  F, mixing w/WI
but easily nullable. DH-IN

S-350/Select-a-tenna and Eton E-100 barefoot
