[IRCA] 1400 Graveyard listening for the newbie

["Steve Ratzlaff" <steveratz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As almost everyone probably knows, I am anything but a domestic AM DXer. 
Several days ago Paul Walker made a request for anyone hearing several 
stations. Since one was 100 miles away I figured it would be an easy listen, 
just tune there and have at it. How wrong I was! Not being previously 
remotely knowledgable about signals on 1400, I have become much better 
acquainted the past 3 days and I admit it's been interesting and even 
enjoyable. And I have only heard 1400 KJDY once so far, a brief fadeup with 
mentions of John Day (Oregon). The farthest has been KEYL, MN "Real Country" 
which faded up briefly this morning. Others have been KQMS, CA; KRPL, ID; 
KSPT/KBFI, ID; KBCK, MT; KQDJ, ND; KBCH, OR; KLCK, WA/OR; KEDO, WA; KODI, 
WY. A SS station has been heard several times but no chance for an ID.
It's interesting that the best time is early morning for several hours. So 
far I haven't pulled any audio out of the continuous jumble of stations 
mixing together at night.
