[IRCA] HS FB Enid & Alva OK

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** OKLAHOMA. I tried and tried to find this online at http://www.enidnews.com
but without success; it`s part of an August 30 supplement, not the regular
newspaper, which does have an almost daily column listing silly ballgames on
radio, and that can show up on worldwide radio news-trawling searches.

So, altho I have absolutely no use for SBGs and would rather miss DXing a
station than have to listen to one in order to ID it, perhaps with illegal
daytime facilities on Friday night, for the greater DXing good I put myself to
retyping the following info, which is not in the format Art Blair so ably puts
together, but still might help someone with IDs (and I hope Art has not already
covered these).

``ENID WILL BE BROADCAST ON 2 LOCAL RADIO STATIONS

The Enid Plainsmen will be the rare HS program to have two radio stations doing
their football games ? KCRC 1390 and KGWA 960. [no further details in this
item]

The Alva Goldbugs can be heard on KALV 1430. [no further details]

KNID 99.7, KFXY 1640, and KOFM 103.1 will be doing a game of the week.

[skipping the FM stations here]

KFXY`s announced schedule includes
Sept.  1, Chisholm at OBA [Oklahoma Bible Academy, Enid]
Sept.  8, Crescent at Hennessey
Sept. 15, Covington-Douglas at Kremlin-Hillsdale
Sept. 22, OBA at Crescent
Sept. 29, Weleetka at Cashion
Oct.   6, Waukomis at Garber``

I point out once more that KFXY-1640, unlike most x-banders, voluntarily has a
direxional pattern NNW/SSE to maximize coverage toward Enid and OKC from the
site a few miles east of Hénnessey, which is in line between the two cities,
and thus is seldom reported from direxions in near nulls, ENE/WSW.

It looks like none of these stations will need to cheat, altho KFXY might be
tempted to run 10 kW instead of 1. Both KCRC-1390 and KGWA 960 are 1 kW with
same power and pattern day and night. KCRC`s major lobe is just north of west.
KGWA-960 major lobe is towards OKC to the SSE, with a minor lobe in the
opposite direxion. Its site is on the NW edge of Enid. 

KALV 1430 Alva OK, which has remained on the air while in license-renewal
limbo, is 500 watts day and night but with slightly different patterns; at
night SW toward Roswell, strangely enough. This info based on the NRC Antenna
Pattern Book, and the 2006 NRC AM log. 73, Glenn Hauser, Enid
