[IRCA] Recent MW loggings from South Omaha



  
All times ELT. 
 
                                                                   STATION NEWS 
 
1050  KMTA  MT Miles City - 2/8 1836 - Fair with ID: "KMTA can now be heard on 1050 AM and 95.3 FM."  Most likely the 
          same station I heard about 15 minutes earlier with Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty."  Appears to have returned to 
          the air sometime around February 1.  (RD-NE2)
 
1470  KWSL  IA Sioux City - 3/3 1527 - This station's bi-annual habit of changing formats continues.  Noted at this time with 
         Don Williams song "Love Me Over Again", then voice-tracked chatter by male DJ that included a mention of "1470  
         The Whistle", and a promo of their website www.1470kwsl.com.  (RD-NE2)  
 
                                                                       DX TESTS 
 
  560  WFIL  PA Philadelphia - 2/12 0003 - Weak under WIND (and in the null of KWTO, which was airing a Jack Benny episode 
          of "When Radio Was") with sweep tones during DX test.  A descending tone heard a few minutes later, and that was the 
          last I heard from WFIL during the hour-long test.  PA #4 at this QTH.  (RD-NE1)  
 
  580  WHP  PA Harrisburg - 2/27 0005, 0033, and 0105 - Tried for, not heard.  Channel was ruled by WIBW and XEMU.  (RD- 
          NE1) 
 
1460  WTKT  PA Harrisburg - 2/27 0015 and 0045 - Didn't expect this one to pop through, and it didn't.  (RD-NE1)  
 
1550  KRPI  WA Ferndale - 2/26 - Heard bits and pieces of code ID at 0400, 0405, and 0410, but at 0420, the signal was good 
         enough that I was able to get the entire sequence of code at two different pitches played twice.   A report has been sent 
         to David Harris.  WA #2 at this QTH.  (RD-NE1) 
 
                                                                      LOGGINGS 
 
  560  KLZ  CO Denver - 2/12 0059 - A nice surprise at the end of WFIL's test period.  Fair with rerun of Michael Savage talk 
          program, then "...legendary KLZ..." heard in legal ID.  WIND picked a good time to take a dive.  (RD-NE1)  
  
  640  KTIB  LA Thibodaux - 2/13 0202 - Good, over WWLS, with ending of Led Zeppelin warhorse "Stairway To Heaven", then  
         a canned ID: "...KTIB, Thibodaux, a (inaudible) Broadcasting station", then into Bob Dylan's immortal "Like A Rolling 
         Stone".  Musta been on the day rig.  (RD-NE1) 
 
  750  KHWG  NV Fallon - 2/12 2304 - Faint under WSB with Hank Williams' "Moanin' The Blues" and Gale Garnett's "We'll Sing 
          In The Sunshine."  Confirmed via KHWG's webstream, which was about 30 seconds behind.  Big-time kudos go out to 
          Bill Dvorak and Neil Kazaross for the tip on this.  (RD-NE1)
 
  800  CHAB  SK Moose Jaw - 1/28 1821 - Good with ID: "Playing the greatest hits of all time...CHAB", then into the Guess 
          Who's "Clap For The Wolfman".  (RD-NE1) 
 
  880  CHQT  AB Edmonton - 2/13 0208 - Very good and along with news and several "I News 880" IDs.  First time heard      
          from anywhere for me, and my first Edmonton station logged since the early 1990s.  (RD-NE1) 
    
  930  KROE  WY Sheridan - 1/27 1830 - Good with "KROE" jingle ID, then into "Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel" by  
          Tavares.  (RD-NE2) 
 
  970  WHA  WI Madison - 2/21 1820 - Fair in KMA splatter with call-in program about the problem of underage drinking in  
          Wisconsin, phone # given out as 1-800-486-6655.   Nice ID at 1829 as "Ideas 970 AM, WHA, Madison."  (RD-NE2) 
 
  980  KRTX  TX Rosenberg - 3/1 2305 - Good with several "Radio Aleluya" jingle IDs after accordion-heavy SS mx.  Only  
          Spanish station, either domestic or Mexican, that I can find on the channel using this slogan, so I'm counting it as 
          this.  (RD-NE1) 
 
1040  CKST  BC Vancouver - 2/26 0604 - Stayed up after KRPI's test, and was glad I did.  Fair under WHO with Ben Maller on   
          Fox Sports Radio //CKST's webstream.  BC #1 at this QTH.  (RD-NE1) 
 
1050  KSIS  MO Sedalia - 2/19 0806 - Fair with live start of syndicated knick-knack-appraisal program "Whatcha Got".  Had no 
          clue who this was, until checking the show's website, which turned up this and a station in New York as the only affiliates 
          on 1050.  Since it was looping SE from here and it was well after sunrise in New York, I'm counting it as KSIS.  (RD- 
          NE1)  
 
1050  WDVM  WI Eau Claire - 3/2 1832 - Fair and alone with Catholic programming, an ad that included a 715 area code #,  
          then a message fom the head of the archdiocese of La Crosse.  Was trying for WDZ, which remains elusive.  (RD-NE2) 
 
1060  KIJN  TX Farwell - 2/11 0033 - On obvious day power, fair and alone with "Kah-Ee-Hotah-Ennay" jingle ID, then into SS 
          music.  (RD-NE1) 
 
1250  KZDC  TX San Antonio - 2/14 1842 - Weak with talk about the release of the 2012 Big XII football schedule, mention of 
          an upcoming interview with a contributor to the Longhorn-based website www.insidetexas.com, then an ID as "ESPN 
          1250 The Zone."  (RD-NE2)  
 
1300  WOOD  MI Grand Rapids - 2/4 2140 - Fair with Grand Rapids Grffins HKY vs. Hamilton.  (RD-NE1) 
 
1300  WOAD  MS Jackson - 2/4 2241 - Weak under KAKC with black gospel music.  Confirmed via WOAD's webstream, which 
          was roughly 15 seconds behind.  (RD-NE1) 
 
1300  KBRL  NE McCook - 2/4 2259 - Fair with only "...KBRL, McCook" heard in legal ID.  (RD-NE1) 
       
1450  WRLL  IL Chicago  - 2/25 0009 - Fair with radio pointed E-W with nortena music //WRLL's webstream.  The other Chicago 
          station that shares this frequency, WCEV, comes in here regularly when it's on, so I figured it was only a matter of time 
          before this one showed up.  (RD-NE1)  
 
1460  KLTC  ND Dickinson - 3/2 1805 - Very good with ID: "Classic Country AM 1460 KLTC, Dickinson."  Not new, but not  
          heard this well before, and an indicator that a good opening to the Northern Plains was in progress.  (RD-NE2) 
 
1530  KVDW  AR England - 2/5 2247 - Came home from a Super Bowl party to find the listservers all abuzz with news of this 
          one staying on late.  Good signal at this time under WCKY with black gospel music and an ad for a local business that 
          included a 501 area code #.  Last heard years ago as KLRA.  (RD-NE1) 
  
1630  KKGM  TX Fort Worth - 1/28 0158 - Fair under KCJJ with talk program, then "Better Life Radio" ID.  (RD-NE1)
