Re: [IRCA] Mystery station while WHO off the air

"Before they could give their call letters, WHO came back on"

Sounds almost like the reverse of an experience I had at least a few months ago. :)  I was inductively coupling my PL-606 to a SAT & utility line, tuned to 1670.  Normally KHPY Moreno Valley owns the frequency, often being near-local-like barefoot.  For about 1-2 seconds at TOH, KHPY was open-carrier (between spots maybe) and I heard a KNRO call.
I'm still hoping for the day I can catch an ID of a SS during the ~0.5 seconds that 760 KFMB (7.3 mi NW) is off the air while making its ND/DA 5kW/50kW day/night pattern switch. ;)  Who knows, maybe I could bag that 50kW in Yemen or wherever it is?

No audio, no carrier, no nothing,....nada.  This was about 0530 CST. In it's customary place was a "sports radio" station with a short report about the death of an Indy 500 driver.  Before they could give their call letters, WHO came back on, their overwhelming, tsunami like carrier bringing dead silence to the frequency until the local host started talking.
