Nearly all IDs are now just "Classical 1660" rather the old "Classical 1660
KXTR."

Subject: [IRCA] KXTR/WDAF 1660-FM HD

** 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 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
