Re: [IRCA] Pigs Fly! KFAQ-1170 off

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Tnx to a quick tip from Bruce Winkelman, Tulsa that his local KFAQ 1170 was off at 0355 UT Sept 30, I hurried to check the frequency. Around 0405 UT quite a jumble there, and nice to have the IBOC off too. But now there is some IBOC QRM from KSL when aiming E/W. Two Spanish speakers, one with music, one with talk, when that is nulled. One ran a slogan ID but could not catch it.

NRC AM Log shows no US nighttimers in Spanish on 1170; WRTH shows eight nighttimers in Mexico, no more than 2.5 kW from Puebla and Aguascalientes.

0420 check, KFAQ is back on but weak, and easily nulled. Must be backup transmitter, and still no IBOC.

At 1650 UT, KFAQ still seems weaker than usual, but this is subjective as I don`t pay much attention to its normal level. But, no IBOC audible now either, so probably still on backup. If this continue into UT Oct 1, should enhance DX possibilities on 1157-1183 kHz.

Is there anything about this situation on the KFAQ website, titled ``Tulsa`s Conservative Talk Radio Station`` http://www.1170kfaq.com/
(even tho they don`t have Rush, just othercreeps like Beck, Ingraham, bits from O`Reilly, Huckabee)? No. 

How about the radio-info.com OK board?

No, again, tho participants there often post inside info on what`s going on in the market (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
