  Steady but marginal signal....I heard a classic hits tune followed by an announcer, talking about the song then an intro for a baseball game and a nice jingle. While it's not that far away, I've never heard Henderson, Kentucky's WSON before. So it's technically a NEW log, despite the short distance.

  Poor but steady signal, heard preaching and teaching type program. Didn't sound loud and excitable like a church pastor.. but more along the lines of Turning Point, Thru The Bible and such.. but was neither of those programs. I don't think this was WRJZ Knoxville because during the time I heard whatever station this was, WRJZ's program schedule doesn't match.

  1070Khz
  5:29pm
  POOR signal, with a promo for a show.. all of a sudden it disappeared as if the station powered down or switched pattern. I suspect this was WAPI Birmingham, AL. As soon as WAPI disappeared, heard two talk show hosts appeared out of the mud with a POOR but steady signal and heard one announcer say to a caller, "You're on WDIA"....

  VERY GOOD, steady signal with sports report, a single commercial, then an announcer mentioning "Traffic and weather together on News Radio 1080 KRLD"

  1170Khz
  5:38 pm Central
  OK signal, State News followed by stock news with mentions of "1170 KFAQ"

  1200Khz
  5:49pm Central
  Marginal but steady signal, Coming back from a break, I believe the announcer introduced the show as "The Joe Patton Show", talking about an u[coming guest and a book he wrote. WOAI San Antonio,TX.

  1270Khz UNID
  Time: 5:50pm
  Poor to marginal signal, male talk show host talking to female caller, in spanish. Tried to pick out any words i could understand, but didn't understand anything that was being said.

  1350Khz UNID
  Time: 5:51pm Central
  Oldies formatted music form The Jones Radio Network with announcer Brad Pierce. Coming out of a song, Brad talked, then into a commercial break. The Stereo light popped on and off a few times, but it may not be actual stereo just a "false positive". I don't know what network WGAD Gadsden, AL carries so I don't know if this is them.

  1380Khz UNID
  Time 5:38pm Central
  Marginal and fading signal, song ended into a fast paced and exited promo by male announcer in spanish. All i understand from it was "La Musica" and then it went back into a song.

  1360Khz
  Heard a Good but fading signal, "Walker County's Home of the legends, 1360 WIXI". When they upgraded from 1KW to 12KW Non Directional last year they REALLY blast in right before sunset!!

  1440Khz
  Time: 5:56pm Central
  Very poor but steady signal with "Let's Hear It For The Boys"...I am pretty sure this is WZYX Cowan, TN

  1470Khz
  Time: Approximately 5:30pm Central
  Station ID, anchor mentioning time, temperature and then intro'd a traffic report and into news. Several mentions of Peoria, this was obviously 1470 WMBD Peoria, IL

  1470Khz NEW LOGGING!!!
  Time: 5:17pm Central
  Heard mentions of "(Unintelligble) Radio 1470 & 1290" by an announcer coming out of a song who went on to talk about an event, mentioned Mardi Gras, getting tickets to an event coming up on some Saturday. A mention of "2500 points in your account" and "Come by our studios in lake Charles". This would be KLCL Lake Charles, LA simulcast with KJEF 1290 Jennings, LA. NEW LOG!!

  1550Khz
  Time: 6:13pm Central
  Poor signal, Heard gospel music on here.. suspect this to be the WPFC baton Rouge, LA that Rick from Omaha reported hearing the other night.

  Still, nothing betas my 330 mile DAYTIME reception, at 10am in the morning of 5KW Non Directional KDTH 1370  DuBuque, Iowa!!
