WORLD OF RADIO 2264 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday October 12 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, VG direct. Not a problem, but not caused by me, I`ve noticed that this airing starts with a few words from a preacher before cut to WOR opening. Also as usual followed by two minutes of music 0329-0331* turned off without ID or sign/off announcement. Upon request, I sent WTWW a half-minute WOR promo they could play anytime.

ABQ news reports said it would still be on air from one tower, despite a subject line in one DX group, ``KKOB off the air``. I am hearing something in English but can`t tell if KKOB, since it`s under Spanish, see MEXICO. Typically in such a case, like KOKC or KAAY, gets STA to stay on at night, ND but with lowered power. However, at 0701 recheck, no Spanish, off? But ABC News which fits for KKOB, per IRCA the only one on 770, and BTW, WABC runs Fox `news`, not ABC! KKOB also has a 230-watt ND co-channel relay/booster in Santa Fe only at night, filling in the null toward WABC; elsewhere very hard to tell them apart unless ABQ be off or echoing, which they ought to prevent. Walt Salmaniw found another story about this, originally AP: https://www.timescolonist.com/the-mix/hot-air-balloon-strikes-and-collapses-radio-tower-in-albuquerque-during-festival-9649483 Similar one also in Enid News & Eagle. 4:48 audiovideo report by KOAT via Steve Whitt, MWC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyzxeFc4LPo This story says KKOB did go off the air, but would continue on FM. KOAT exists due to a ``coats for the needy`` winter promotion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 900 kHz, Oct 12 at 0646 UT, ID in passing as KHOZ, C&W music. That`s in Harrison AR, U1 1000/62 watts, address on Radio Avenue per NRC AM Log. More importantly, where`s XEW? Remember when it owned 900 at night, 250 kW? IRCA Mexican Log 2024 says it`s 24h 100/100 kW still on AM; but current mwlist and consequently WRTH 2024 still claim 250 kW, and another Mex on 900, 10/2.5 kW, XEOK Amor Monterrey, which is totally missing from IRCA Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING Bucket List Joe President Biden Has 100 Days Left in Office.
