Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] 1640 Lake Oswego, OR. to Michigan tonight

[neilkaz <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

KCBS doesn't have a favorable day or night pattern to the west and is very rare hear. I'd not think that an all new station would be touting their hourly news unless close to the hour.

There are certainly better candidates for CA SSS catches in Omaha using a loop. I'd suggest KFIA 710 which has a favorable pattern and I think you call loop K.C. and not have too much other QRM.

Another possibility is KLAA 830 which WCCO looped.

There are quite a few more.  73 KAZ

>Tim, while you were pulling in the Evil Mouse on 1640, I THOUGHT I had KCBS in San Fran on 740.  Stayed glued to Zoomer Radio's "Big Band Sunday Night" after 0100 UTC, and along about 0125, something started messing with CFZM's signal.  Had the loop pointed west, so I knew it wasn't Fargo (and they were running Game 4 of the WS, anyway).  At 0132, I heard a definite "...with news on the hour..." in a liner.  Certainly sounds like something that would come from KCBS (or, for that matter, its sister station, WBBM), but then again it could just as well have been a promo from KRMG or KTRH, although the loop bearing wouldn't seem to suggest either of those two.  I will keep trying for California #4 here, and KCBS is probably my best best to earn that honor.
