Re: [IRCA] 1060kHz UNID
I confirmed with WQMV via a phone call that it wasn't them, they checked the
Dick Bartley Show cue sheet, since the 9pm hour was "canned" and he didn't
play the song at all. I haven't actually checked with KNLV, but only because
it'd be near impossible for KNLV's 20 some odd watts at night to get me all
the way out here. WQMV also confirmed they were at low power.
As for Rock the Boat, I heard well over a minute, and it was the second half
of the song that I heard, I know the song fairly well.
Im going to call KDYL next week and see what they were playing. The good
thing is, I know EXACTLY when I heard what I heard, so it shouldn't be too
hard to check old programming logs.
