[IRCA] Help with an ident and a "weird" station situation on 1220

[Brian Rachford <azswdxing@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was working 1220 kHz a little after midnight on the 23rd (around 0715 UT)
and was able to pick out a call that really sounds like "KXPL".  However,
KXPL is 1060 out of El Paso.  Of course, there are other sound-alikes for
"X" and "P".  On the other hand, I found an unusual situation where station
KMVL out of Madisonville, TX has a sister station KM2XVL which the FCC
lists as an experimental station owned by the same person with city of
license as nearby Huntsville, TX.  Both stations are listed at 1220.  At
the KMVL website at http://www.kmvl.net/coverage.html, they show a coverage
map (the bottom one), for their Adult Standards station.  They list both AM
transmitters and and FM translator.  KMVL was the only set of call letters
in the FCC database at 1220 that I could find that could match what I
recorded, but I just can't hear "M" as the second letter.  The other
possibility I can think of is that they refer to "KM2XVL" as KXVL on the
air.  Any insight as to what's going on would be greatly appreciated.  I've
put up a short audio clip of the ident on my blog at:

(I hope that word-wraps properly!)  I would like to be able to log this as
something, but I'm not quite sure what.  It might be good for the economy.
I've decided that when I get to 300 logged stations from this location
since I started up in August, I will think about some sort of compact dual
antenna system and a phaser.  This would be station #264.  :-)

Thanks,
