[IRCA] China Radio International on 1540

[Scott Fybush <scott@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there anyone else other than KGBC in Texas known to be running CRI's 
leased-time English programming on 1540?

I was driving in south-central Michigan (between Jackson and Battle 
Creek) at 8 PM tonight, listening for semi-local KTGG to sign off, when 
they faded away and I heard the tail end of a China Radio International 
show, followed by a fragment of an ID that sounded like it was 
mentioning "97.3 FM and 1540 AM," followed by an announcement that "the 
following program is paid for by China Radio International."

Alas, whatever ID might have been in there was drowned out by kid-QRM 
from the back seat.

I'd love to believe that I was hearing some sunset DX from KGBC...but I 
suspect there's another answer somewhere closer to Albion, Michigan!

One other note from this evening's travels: several years after the FCC 
revoked its license, the four towers of WOLY 1500 in Battle Creek still 
stand, and the studio building at 15074 6 1/2 Mile Road still has WOLY 
signage on it. There was even a newspaper in a bag hanging on the WOLY 
mailbox across the street. At 8:15 or so tonight, WOLY was definitely 
not on the air, but the building did not look particularly abandoned.
