From now and for an unknowntime, at least for 3 years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs forDXing. Recently we moved from the village back to the city in a space thatprohibits the use of desktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise inthe LMHF bands. The radio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we runpolitically lively condition with always very interesting twits every day ..

** U S A. ``Re: the 1030 UNID in Spanish: I think you can safely rule
out KCTA. I'm pretty sure KCTA only runs a half hour of Spanish
programming each morning at 6am CT. It's the “Galvan Revival Church”
program as listed at
https://kctaradio.com/blog/weekday-schedule/  
I often hear that program from KCTA on my Border Inn DXpeditions, as
KCTA signs on at (or before?) WBZ FCC sunrise time, which is 1100 UT /
6am CT in October when I make my recordings.

As for KCWJ, it might be worth comparing your signal to Radio Aliento
del Cielo here:  https://alientodelcielo.com/
KCWJ was reported as both Radio Aliento del Cielo (//KKLO-1410 and a
92.7 FM in Lenexa) and Radio Vida around the same time a few years
ago. I wasn't sure which report was correct, and I haven't heard KCWJ
much since. HTH, Tim Hall``

Mauno Ritola via abdx.org: ``MW list has Aliento del Cielo Radio for
KCWJ: https://alientodelcielo.com/
73, Mauno``

Before seeing those, I listened again to 1030, March 20 straight thru
from 0510 to 0620 UT: Still, no announcements whatever, just praise
music in Spanish; could have inserted ToH ID at 0603 between songs or
0608; does FCC ever cite stations for such repeated minor? infraxions?
I also checked the Radio Vida webstream which radio-locator.com thinx
applies to KCWJ, but it was talk part of the time, and different music
part of the time. So obviously KCWJ is not (any longer?) with Radio
Vida, explaining my obs. I also DFed it as NE/SW which fits well for
Kansas City area. Anyhow the music is nice and harmonious; fortunately
I am much more fluent in Spanish spoken than sung, so could enjoy the
music pro arte without being distracted by the no doubt nonsensical
lyrix (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1280, March 20 at 0629 UT, ``Newsradio KYRO,` back to `Red
Eye Radio`. That`s U1 660/45 watts at Troy MO, address in St Louis.
Bet they were on huge day instead of night power. Radio-locator shows
address in Moscow Mills, which is just SE of Troy and site is further
NW of Troy halfway to Silex; also near Wentzville, home of WA0RCR, all
of which NW of St Louis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1510 kHz, March 20 at 0631 UT, WLAC Nashville still getting
equal-level QRM from KCTE, and now also logged elsewhere: ``Terry L
Krueger via groups.io, Boggy, Florida Occidental, IC-R75, NRD-535,
ICF-7600GR, Tescun PL-360, active loop, random fence-stapled wire,
misc. junk: 1510, MISSOURI, KCTE, Independence, 1035, 13 MAR 2025.
Presumed the one, daytimer cheating at 10 kW with ESPN spew, parallel
delayed station stream. Poor with WLAC barely nulled. Thanks Glenn
Hauser tip. First time log`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.59, March 20 at 0640 UT, JBA carrier again hetting
810.00 WHB. What`s it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1650 kHz, March 20 at 0633 UT, tone mixing with other
stations, about 320 Hz above and below, and a much weaker JBA 1 kHz
tone. Suspect KSVE El Paso which was running tone overnight for months
and months last year (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
