Missed checking the 1930 airing, likewise circa on WA0RCR, 1860 AM. Did anyone hear it? Also missed reconfirming WOR is still no airing at that time on WRMI 15770, which is now back on the air. Fortunately? I got a QSL request out of the blue from a Netherlander with a clip at that time of a gospel huxter, who he thought was WOR, as on the sked! Another WRN NAm webcast confirmed at 0130 UT Sunday October 16. At 0030 UT Sun Oct 16, 7780 is still silent when WOR is scheduled. Just in case, I check all active WRMI frequencies, but noWOR. Of course that`s amid the trihour of TRSW on 5950 UT Sundays, but when WOR has been newly scheduled UT Mondays. Also confirmed UT Sunday October 16 from 0324 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+20 into nearby SDR, but with huge storm noise; lightning is not right over St Louis area, but nearest in SE Kansas, N Arkansas, across central OK to NM and AZ. This caused our NBC station, KFOR, to blow away almost all of SNL except for the opening skit and goodbye! Re Purple Power on World of Radio #2160: ``Thanks for the tip for cleaning the stickiness from the surface of Eton radios. I have a few of them and, with the exception of the Satellit 750, the rest of them all have that problem. One year I left my G8 in Florida over the summer. When I got back here it felt like it had been dipped in maple syrup. I'll be going out tomorrow to look for Purple Power. Best Regards & 73s, Doug Brown, Ont.`` I have no personal familiarity with, just quoting someone. Before purchase, I recommend googling and noting the caveats about it. Seems you`ve got to purchase at least a gallon of it, $ 7 at Walmart. That would clean off an awful lot of Etóns. Maybe you can find some other stuff needing degreasing.

Intrigued by the motto? still atop the KBDT 1160 website, ``Snot Rocket Cock Socket Hot Pocket`` -- is it slightly naughty? I try a broad Google search on that, but except for a few spurious, get nothing but scads of hits back to saigondallasradio.com -- nothing DX related, not even my own logs which have been on the web for several days now. Among all those useless hits, I do see that R. Saigon Dallas used to pertain to 1600 kHz, i.e., KRVA, which would overcome OK reception of KUSHing around sunset. But the current KBDT website shows nothing about 1600 or KRVA. It does say in English that new home is on 1160. I try a couple of Dallas-area SDRs at 2346 UT October 15: one of them gets nothing but noise on both frequencies, the other weak SE Asian songs on 1600, not 1160. At 0000 UT August 16 I listen direct and do not hear anything Asian on either frequency. What does the very slow-loading FCC AM Query say? KRVA 1600 owned by LRAD Media LLC, but it errors out beyond that. Radio-locator agrees about KRVA, while KBDT is licensed to Dallas Broadcasting, LLC. But FCC finally attributes KBDT to Pacific Star Media LLC. I was wanting to check the official FCC SS/SR times for both, which supposedly cut to much lower and direxional power at night. At least for KBDT: October, 0000/1230 UT; November, 2330/1300 UT. Could be 15 minutes difference at KRVA site. As for the motto, maybe a joke of their website designer? No credit for any on homepage. Perhaps someone in The Metroplex DFW market can explain more, such as what has become of 1600? Here`s a thread about it; finally someone thought 1600 may have become S Asian: https://www.radiodiscussions.com/threads/kbdt-1160-sold.747365/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 26200-26380 approx., Oct 15 at 2125, CODAR swirshing, unusual? to hear on 11m, but sporadic E provides it. Other than visiting one on a coast, is there any way to locate these by frequency range, pulse rates, waterfall patterns, hours, or whatever?
