I will not be able to listen to the MP3 until later but Curtis Sadowski
sent a link to archive.org with some recordings of WLRB that he made
from Paxton, IL. I will compare to see if the ID style matched what I
recall hearing.
Here is what his reply says:
-----------
Dave,
It's WLRB. Here's what I just posted at the Archive:

My goodness, when it rains it pours!
The songs that I heard on 11/23 from 11-11:20 PM CST are:
"Let Your Love Flow" by the Bellamy Brothers,
"Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" by the Casino's and (later)
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" later by Simon and Garfunkel."

You can reasonably suspect this is WLRB unless I say otherwise. The
Engineer agrees the songs played would match WLRB.
Do not, however, count this as definate, until I confirm otherwise.
They are having some more pressing issues today over there, so my buddy
whos the Chief Engineer hasn't had time to attend to my questions..
they're having a computer problem with one of their FMs and one of their
on air staffers had a stroke today. (The on air staffer that had a
stroke was the one my buddy was going to ask about WLRB, as the station
is his responsibility as well as his other duties.)

Tom - I am 99.99% sure that I have been hearing WLRB Macomb, IL
on late
for the past 3 weeks. It has been widely noted that their talk
format
ends at 7 PM and they revert to their previous format, whether
sunset is
before or after that. They keep the old format going to keep
the
automation functioning, 24/7. AND if the station does not
properly sign
off at sundown, the old format would of course be sent over the
air
without ads, newscast and such.
I am reasonably sure that I heard a female singing the calls
(WLRB) at
:27 and :57 and a male announcing them at other times ("AM 15-10
WLRB").
As far as the "standards" format goes - many standards format
outlets
have taken ten (twenty?) years off their playlists. Instead of
playing
music from the 40's and 50's, they are playing light pop /
oldies from
the 1960's and 70's. When I first started hearing what I
presume to be
WLRB, I originally thought that it was rock too but the more I
paid
attention, the more I noted that the music is more old, light
pop, which
fits today's standards format.
Paul have you heard anything from WLRB's PD? Once again the key
question is if WLRB's automation for the music format inserts
singing
calls at appx 27 and 57 past the hour.
Rick Dau (NE) heard WLRB behaving this way in September.
Ben Root from KMSD assured me that it is not them.

Wow, I wonder what 1510 you heard? I *think* . .but don't know
for sure
that
WLRB 1510 Macomb, IL tends to be standards/nostalgia.. not rock
n roll.
Could this be WJOT Wabash, IN on late?
Could your 1480 be WDJO Cincinatti, OH or WLMV Madison, WI?
Either of
those
would fit your loop bearing.

I like that strategy....."I don't know how it got into my cart?" : )
I have the earlier version of the radio DT-200V. It is a great little
radio. It is the only one I have where I can sometimes totally null out
my
local pest. It's my favorite hand-held/ultralight.

Early Wed AM at 0100 PST Tuning into good DX and found station playing
oldies on 1210 with good signal peaks over others so checked log and
found CFYM Kindersley Sk.Liked the music?and listened for a few minutes
but no ID?and?into another song so I scanned up and found the same music
on 1330 but slightly out of sync by a lag of a few seconds.Look ed at
log again and found CJYM Rosetown Sk. 1210 peaked out stronger with 250
watts than 1330 did with 10KW.?Both stations were simulcasting but ID
was independent while log quotes a commom ID for both. Last night at
same time only 1330 was audible. 1210 was a mix with SS from Seattle on
top?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????? Early Wed.After 0100 on 1500 an ESPN Program was out with a
better than normal signal as 1500 is usually graveyard sounding.Could
not locate such a format in the log so
maybe a recent switch from something else to sports.Last night and
early this morning no sign of this one and 1500 was level again with
distant mix.??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Also
I'm still catching an all day listenable signal from CBC Radio One on
540 in SK.

In the list of stations in this ultralight scan from Signal Hill I
noticed that on 747 and 1008 the Canary Islands were on top while on 675
Holland was audible. Since Holland also occupies 747 and 1008 they are
not or rarely hopping over the pond.The Dutch 747 and 1008 run on more
power than 675 so if Canary did not occupy those slots then Holland
would probably be there all the time.The question is --why did two
Canary stations choose to operate on the same frequencies as two Dutch
Stations. I would bet that the two Dutch guys were on the air before the
two Canary ones. Bill in BC
