Re: [IRCA] Mystery station while WHO off the air



Steve, ya beat me to it.  I was just about to say that I caught the former WQBB -- now WKTI -- cheating last Dec. 29th with a classic country format and a "Country Classics 1040 WKTI" ID at 2048 CLT that night.  So, as Todd suggested, the odds are pretty good now that it was CKST. 
 
BTW, Stephen, can you e-mail me off-list so we can exchange phone numbers?  You're the closest member to me, in terms of mileage, on this listserver, and I hate to miss out on DX opportunities like the one that you stumbled upon this morning.

Not the Knoxville-area station - they dropped the sports format in 2005 and the WQBB calls in 2008.

Steve,
I was listening to a feature on Fox Sports Radio about the Indy Driver at 
hat time also. Two Fox stations that I see listed on 1040 are WQBB, 
noxville, TN and CKST, The Team in Vancouver, BC. Maybe one of those?

> IRCA,

This morning, while cruising in the dark, just below light speed, across 
Iowas frozen tundra, cradled in the warm womb of the MotherShip, my 
mammoth Buick Century, WHO 1040, for inexplicable reasons, went off the 
air.  No audio, no carrier, no nothing,....nada.  This was about 0530 CST. 
In it's customary place was a "sports radio" station with a short report 
about the death of an Indy 500 driver.  Before they could give their call 
letters, WHO came back on, their overwhelming, tsunami like carrier 
bringing dead silence to the frequency until the local host started 
talking.

This was the first time in a very long time, that WHO has been off, so I 
have absolutely no idea who this was.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve
Boone, Iowa
