[IRCA] 1030 spurs on 977, 1083; IBAC; KJIM, WBBZ

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

Logs in this report are from another DXpedition to Meadowlake Park, Enid, away
from the household noise sources, using DX-398 on battery power (down to only 3
marks on the meter), and reel-out antenna of a few meters to a tree or light
pole, while watching the geese and fish.

IBAC hiss from KFAB-1110 Omaha was blocking 1100, and KMOX-1120 St Louis, May
29 at 0121 check; and also at 0123 IBAC hiss from WHO-1040 Des Moines was
blocking whatever was on 1030 and 1050. However, by 0128 both had apparently
been turned off, and e.g. XEG-1050 Monterrey was in the clear. No other IBAC
signals were heard in a quick scan of the MW band, and KOA-840-850-860 had not
yet infaded.

At 0122 I also found matching carriers on 1083 and 977 kHz, no audio
detectable, but stronger than a nostalgia station on 1030, the likely
fundamental halfway between, 53 kHz apart. Would really like to know which
station is responsible. Around 0156 on the home rig, the spurs were gone. 

Here`s a daytimer which doesn`t skimp on its sign-off announcement, KJIM, 1500,
Sherman TX. UT May 29 at 0114 said would be back at 6 am with CBS news, and
``best songs and memories of the radio``, then ``Thanks for the Memories`` but
not the Bob Hope version. Nice reception at peaks. Played the song thru to end
so did not pull plug until 0117* after ``Night, all``; also IDs as K-Jim 

WBBZ, 1230, Ponca City, is still IDing as ``AM stereo``, as heard 0121 UT May
29.

73, Glenn Hauser, Enid OK
