** U S A. 6159.917V, April 24 at 0134, WBCQ-#? is on and wavering
off-frequency with talk show, presumably Hal Turner, whom I have no
interest in hearing; and without // matching, sounds like same thing
on 5130 and on 7490.110v; and 9455 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 570, April 23 at 0630 UT ``We`re the Voice of the Midwest,
570 WNAX`` and 0631 locally originated ``WNAX News`` presumably during
break in some talk show.
Not the only slogan in NRC AM Log for 570 in Yankton SD, ``Your
5-state neighbor`` --- tho who knows, it may also be uttered.
Wikipedia agrees that Voice of the Midwest is the slogan of WNAX:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNAX_(AM)
Searching also leads to Voice of the Midwest as title of a 1953y book
about WLW Cincinnati. I think only those east of Ohio could think of
it as Midwest.
``Midwest`` is certainly an ill-defined term. One source shows all the
states within a ND-KS-OH triangle. But SD and others can also be
considered in the Great Plains, or North Central region. Certainly not
OK, tho we are the only state with a Midwest City = OKC suburb.
NRC DX News of April 14, AM Switch reported:
``Applications to extend existing STA received:
570 WNAX SD Yankton – Applies to extend STA, U1 5000/1250``
WNAX nominal parameters: 5000/5000 U2, i.e. ND daytime, direxionanl
nighttime, majorly toward NNE with two minor southish lobes.
Where`s KLIF Dallas? Twice as close. Only WNAX heard now on the E-W
longwire which should be equally unfavorable for both.
Both day and night patterns of KLIF are nullish toward here, but in
the daytime it`s atop WNAX, always audible underneath via
high-ground-conductivity path, and of course the only SD day signal
arriving (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
