Re: [IRCA] 890 Spanish UNID - help needed

[Nigel Pimblett <nige2730@xxxxxxxxx>]

At 0500 UTC this evening KYWN was back to dominating the channel on my 
south antenna.    Certainly doesn't sound like 250 watt night power to 
me, but definitely not 50 kW either.   If it's only 1 kW it's doing 
pretty well.    Had legal ID hear the hour, but otherwise most of the 
IDs are simply as "Ocho noventa AM".     Audio is pretty decent tonight, 
but if they have issues perhaps they were off this morning.
