Re: [IRCA] Trying to solve unIDs on 540 from January 1993

[Paul Swearingen <plsbcbdxer@xxxxxxx>]

This is kind of a long shot, but KNOE-540 Monroe, LA used to be an easy catch "back in the day" in Kansas before they flipped to talk and
the KMLB calls. I don't remember exactly what format they were in '92, but I believe they could have programmed some or all of the tunes
Rick mentions hearing -Paul Swearingen, Topeka

Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but a couple hours ago, I sorted 
through lots of old issues of DX News from around that time, THIS time checking 
the DDXD-East column.  In Vol. 60, Issue 14, I found this: 
 
 540  WWCS  PA Canonsburg - 12/14/92 0350-0400 Classical music and several IDs 
at 0400 with mention of Pittsburgh and
        Canonsburg, advertisements and back to classical music.  Good signal and 
new here.  (Jim Bagge-Springfield, Mass.) 
 
So what it looks like here, Steve, is that either the religious format on WWCS 
was short-lived, or that it only aired classical music
during the overnight hours (I think KPOF-910 in Denver does the same thing 
nowadays).   Either way, I'm now about 95% certain that the CLA music heard 
after CBK's sign-off at 0208 ELT was coming from WWCS. 
 
So that's one solved, but that leaves the mystery station with rock and/or 
oldies heard on 540 at the same time.  "Brother Louie" and "Wild Thing" would 
certainly be classified as oldies, but "Whipping Post" is a pure album-rock 
track, never released as a single.  The first two could've been played on WGTO, 
but the last one would've been a good candidate to be in the library of CJSB 
(which Shawn Axelrod heard twice during 1992).  Is it possible that I had both 
coming in during that half-hour?  That's why I'm hoping that someone who 
RECORDED KNAK's test might've heard the same songs, but more clearly (AND with a 
ID afterwards) than I did in Iowa City.
