[IRCA] 1550 KIVA Albuquerque heard in Michigan, with only 2 minutes to spare!

[Tim Tromp <kilokat7@xxxxxxxxx>]

Finally, after chasing this for three hours tonight, a solid ID from
KIVA at 0558 UTC with literally two minutes to spare before their switch
to 1600 KHz at 0600 UTC.  At 0558 UTC an announcer gave what sounded
like an unscripted and possibly live announcement: "Alright everybody
this is 1550 KIVA, soon to become in two minutes 1600 KIVA..." and cited
the move due to having "tremendous growth during the last nine months
and now is a great opportunity for us to move to a much bigger signal.."
and thanked listeners and invited them to rockoftalk.com  What a way to
log a new one!  Thanks to KAZ for the alert last week, it paid off
tonight.  The time wasn't all wasted either as 1550 KDCC Dodge City, KS.
(1kw/90w) was also heard for the first time.

73,
