[IRCA] KXTR/WDAF 1660-FM HD

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** U S A. UT Feb 6 AT 0354 I had another look at http://www.kxtr.com and find
the website now has some stuff in it, including this perplexing announcement:

KXTR will soon start broadcasting in high definition FM stereo. Get ready by
purchasing a Boston Acoustincs [sic] High Definition radio from Primus Audio
Pleasure today. Click here http://www.primusaudiopleasure.com/ to find out
more. 

To learn more about High Definition radio, visit Primus Audio
http://www.primusaudiopleasure.com/hdradio/index.htm

Primus being a local store in Kansas City, apparently. It will be a neat trick
to broadcast in ``high definition FM stereo`` on 1660 kHz! Or could they be
hinting about a return to the 92-108 MHz band? Or, just as they don`t know that
HD does not mean high definition when applied to radio, perhaps they don`t know
the difference between MF and VHF? Or, maybe it will only be an HD channel on
some other FM transmitter?

And the calls? Referred to as KXTR all over the place, except in the program
schedule for one entry: 

THURSDAY AT 8:35: WDAF ARTS PREVIEW PROGRAM WITH TIMOTHY MCDONALD

No program schedule info outside the M-F 6-10 am Morning Show block!
Has anyone ever heard them give a legal ID as WDAF? If so, any more? Will they
really mention WDAF Thursday at 1435 UT? Stay tuned, to the webcast at least
