Re: Given all that you say Glenn and being on the station's door step how do report a logging come Fall?

I am hardly on the 1650 doorstep, but 297 km = 185 miles away. We`ll have to keep monitoring at ID time.

I see that radio-locator has unquestioningly gone with ``WFSM-AM`` and no more KYHN:
http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?call=wfsm&x=11&y=3&sr=Y&s=C
Of course, there is also no such thing as an ``-AM``suffix! 

How about we refer to it as Facility 87114; that will be immutable. R-L also thinx there is no website, format unknown, for ``WFSM``, but the KYHN one is still extant:
http://kyhnradio.com/ 
which doesn`t prove anything about the current call. It provides a webstream which still works:

Attempted to send e-mail to station via webform:

``Your station is now listed by FCC and other sources as WFSM! Yet you are still IDing at KYHN. Could you please explain what is going on, and how a new W- call could possibly be assigned west of the Mississippi? Is there some relation with KFSM-TV?? I often listen to you on 1650 here in Enid OK.`` 

But it didn`t go thru. ``Call us at 479-783-1650``

They were on Facebook, and a cache from July is available but currently:

is broken or removed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

 Call change to WFSM (Aug. 14) (AM Switch, NRC DX News Aug 31

 I`m surprised no
 one points out that a W-call at the western edge of ARKANSAS
 (site and office in Sallisaw, OKLAHOMA) would be very
 unlikely, far west of the Mississippi. 
 
 Perhaps they believe the FCC which indeed now
 shows WFSM:
 https://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=87114
 
 BUT, I monitored at 1059 UT
 August 26 and definitely heard a singing ID as ``Arklahoma`s
 Talk Station KYHN, Fort Smith``, and CBS News.
 
 Possibly the intention was to
 change to KFSM, which still shows as an unused call on AM.
 But KFSM-TV is a call in Ft Smith, channel 18, CBS
 affiliate; different licensees:
