[IRCA] Results of overnight DXing

[Rick Dau <drummer1965usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

No audio clips to share (I still need to pick up a device that will allow me to record digitally), and, unfortunately, only 3 new stations to report...WIQR-1410 in Alabama at 0140 CLT (while trying for still-needed WING), KBNO-1280 in Denver at 0459 CLT, and KTHS-1480 in Arkansas a minute later.  A huge letdown, especially in light of the two previous all-night sessions that I had done (August 18 and September 6), which yielded at least 16 new stations each time.  Someone on 1280 with Fox Sports Radio was mixing with KBNO during the 4:00 hour -- almost positive this was WBIG in Aurora, IL, but it never stayed up well enough for me to catch an ID.    I did get someone on 1220 with the Mexican nat'l anthem at 0603 CLT, which I would love to believe was XEB, but it faded out before the end of the song, so I've no way of knowing if it was indeed a Mexican or just a domestic station playing it.  Unneeded WDLR in Ohio was ruining 1550 by running its
 Spanish format all night, thus nixing any hopes I had for much-wanted CBE.  And, of course, I've already mentioned KRMO-990 in Missouri.  At sunrise, I went after WOR-710, WTIC-1080, WIP-610, and CKWW-580, but all were no-shows.  Someone noted on 1030 at 0553 CLT with Spanish programming in KCTA's null...I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it's WWGB in Maryland, which will hopefully pay a return visit soon and long enough for an ID.

If you have good tips to pass along, feel free to send them to these lists.  And if you want to chew the fat about DX, e-mail me off list so we can exchange phone numbers.
