(RD‐IA) 810 WHB MO Kansas City – 4/4 0646 – Station ID “Sports Radio 8‐10 WHB dot com.” Into John Clayton Inside The Huddle program. (JDS‐MN) 840 KTIC NE West Point – 3/8 1442 – Weak with “KTICRadio.com” heard at the end of WeatherEye weather forecast. (RD‐IA) 850 KOA CO Denver – 4/4 0706. “News Radio 8‐50 KOA. Available everywhere you want to listen on our free I‐Heart Radio Ap. Download it now.” Followed by Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. (JDS‐MN) 860 KWPC IA Muscatine – 3/8 1444 – Very good with “The Voice of Muscatine, KWPC” heard in promo. (RD‐IA) 880 CHQT AB Edmonton – 4/4 0729 – “This is I‐News 8‐80.” Followed by sports update. In to: “You’re listening to I‐News 8‐80. The exclusive traffic weather watch continues with (inaudible) Mark Woven.” Followed by traffic report. (JDS‐ MN) 910 KCJB ND Minot – 4/4 0742 – Out of song: There’s a New Kid in Town, The Eagles, “91 Country KCJB.” Into spot for annual pancake breakfast fund raiser at the Minot Rural Fire Department April 12. (JDS‐MN) 950 KOEL IA Oelwein – 3/8 1449 – Good with “KOEL” ID, then C&W song “John Deere Green” by Joe Diffie. (RD‐IA) 970 KSYL LA Alexandria – 3/26 2134 – As I am concentrating on XESW, some NW/SE CCI IDs in passing like KXYL. Must really have been this, 1/1 kW U2. Probably the same one as at 2130 with ABC News, per info in NRC AM Log. (GH‐OK) 970 WDAY ND Fargo – 4/16 0220 – Ad mentioning ‘Red Eye Radio,’ loops NNE/SSW, i.e. WDAY, which is 10/10 kW U4. Another affiliate, less likely, is WMAY Springfield IL, among several further RER affiliates listed in the NRC AM Log. Originally a show specifically for truckers, now for all right‐wing fanatics. (GH‐OK) 980 WPRE WI Prairie Du Chien – 3/8 1450 – Fair with pop oldies, “Big Shot” by Billy Joel and “Daniel” by Elton John. Sandwiched between the two songs was an ID: “All Prairie Du Chien, all the time” spoken by a male, then “WPRE” as a jingle. (RD‐IA) 1010 WMIN MN Sauk Rapids – 4/11 0505 – Out of nostalgic music “Uptown 10‐10.” Then back to music. (JDS‐MN) 1020 KDKA PA Pittsburgh – 4/5 0234 – “Hollywood 360 Radio Network,” with nearby KOKP nulled as much as possible, still making SAH of 235/minute = almost 4 Hz. This is of course KDKA, one kilomile or a sesquimegameter away, which would be dominant were it not for sports talker KOKP, 400/250 watts U4, night pattern with lobes to the northwest (Enid) and south. Show confirmed on KDKA online schedule. (GH‐OK) 4/11 0530 – “From the (inaudible) of Pittsburgh studios. This is the voice of Pittsburgh on KDKA. News on KDKA now.” Into “CBS News I’m Gary Nunn ...” (JDS‐MN) 1030 WBZ MA Boston – 4/11 0539 – “WBZ news time 5:39.” Into story about a nineteen year‐ old woman with inoperable brain cancer whose wish it is to play college basketball. Fades out. (JDS‐MN) 1050 KLOH MN Pipestone – 4/11 0602 – Out of country song by male artist. “Blazin’ Country” Into national news. Followed by local weather ending with “I’m meteorologist 8 (inaudible) for Blazin’ Country KLOH. Right now it’s 39.” Followed by song: “Shake It for Me” Luke Bryan. (JDS‐MN) 1060 KYW PA Philadelphia – 4/11 0611 – Out of commercial for community colleges, “KYW news time 6:11.” Followed by commercials including Quicken Loans. “KYW news time 6:13. Here is the traffic and weather update.” Into traffic report and the Eye Witness weather five‐state forecast. (JDS‐MN) 1090 KAAY AR Little Rock – 4/5 0214 – C&W music in the WSW/ENE null of IBOC from KRLD 1080, where I have been getting KVOP, but that should be talk format. At 0227, oh, it’s gospel, with “This Is My Father’s World,” and 0230 ID and plug for programming at KAAY.com ‐‐‐ so Little Rock is back on the air after copper theft! Also making 3 Hz SAH; maybe that’s with KVOP. The KAAY signal is not strong at all, and would dearly like to know what power and antenna pattern they are on, probably by STA. Nominally it’s tight toward Manitoba and Yucatán and not much signal over here anyway. (GH‐OK) 1090 KVOP TX Plainview – 4/3 0107 – With KRLD IBOC nulled as much as possible, talk show about religious freedom, nevertheless 0109 ID in passing as Fox Sports Radio. I would have expected KVOP which has been showing lately in this hole, but could it be FSR’s 5 kW daytimer in Rice Lake WI, WAQE? KVOP by now should be running Texas State Network’s ‘Texas Overnight’ originating at neighbor KRLD. By recheck 0123, the 1090 is indeed on that show and as before running 21 seconds ahead of KRLD. So I think KVOP was late switching from FSR to TSN network feed. (GH‐OK) 4/11 0628 – NEW. Out of In The Garden with Ron Wilson. “You’re in the garden with Ron Wilson. This is KBOZ Talk Radio 10‐90.” (JDS‐MN) 1130 KTMR TX Converse – 3/27 0757 – Legal ID: “This is KTMR 1130 AM Converse‐San Antonio,” followed by a couple of ads or PSA’s and into a Spanish‐language religious program at 0800. Fair in QRM. A new one here, TX #183. (JW‐CO) 1140 KHFX TX Cleburne – 3/25 0859 – Ad for Sara Esquivel Ministries; legal ID at 0900:08: “This is KHFX 1140 AM Cleburne‐Fort Worth,” followed by the same ID in Spanish; a program of upbeat SS religious music followed. Fair, competing with XEMR and others. (JW‐CO) 1150 KSAL KS Salinas – 3/27 2031 – Very good signal with Yahoo Sports Radio. Surely it’s the typical night coverage of KSAL, but it’s not primarily a sports station. But their schedule for 7‐10 pm CDT weekdays says “Yahoo Radio Sports,” close. Not listed in the 2014‐2015 NRC AM Log. (GH‐OK) 1200 KYOO MO Bolivary – 4/2 2125 – I hear a tone mixing with WOAI; nulling it, the tone leads to an automaton NWS tornado *warning* but I cannot copy the counties mentioned. There can’t be too many of those at the moment, so within the following hour I consult the national severe weather map, which shows the only tornado spot is southwest Missouri. So it has to be my closest 1200 which so far had eluded me, KYOO in Bolivar, 1 kW daytimer. But could be legitimately on air now due to emergency. (GH‐OK) 1300 KGLO IA Mason City – 3/1 0529. Out of Coast to Coast AM. Into weather report ending with “That’s the weather eye forecast powered by (inaudible) AM 13‐00 KGLO. Right now it’s 7 above,” to commercial for United Way North Central Iowa. (JDS‐MN) 1310 KGLB MN Glencoe – 3/28 0754 – C&W music, man announcer; legal ID at 0759:55: “AM 1310 KGLB Glencoe. ...,” followed by more music. Fair peaks but always under nearby KFKA. A new one here, MN #59. (JW‐CO) 1310 KNOX ND Grand Forks – 3/28 0859 – Legal ID while KFKA was in a 10‐15 second pause: “This is News Radio 1310 KNOX and 107‐9 KNOX‐FM in Grand Forks, North Dakota, USA,” followed by a CDT time check and ABC news. Fair signal. (JW‐ CO) 1340 KVOT NM Taos – 4/10 0830 – Man says “1340 KVOT, progressive talk for northern New Mexico”; signal then faded under a station carrying ABC news. Barely readable with the loop E‐W, away from Taos, in order to null local KVOQ. (JW‐CO) 1370 WLLM IL Lincoln – 3/30 2021‐2025.‐Good to fair with Dr. James Dobson program, then into local weather. They were probably on their day power of 1 kW. (JEL‐MO) 1370 KJCE TX Rollingwood – 3/27 2043 – Good signal with talk show in English, mentions Houston, loops N/S, gone by 2047. Fits for KJCE official sunset 2045 in March (2100 in April), and power decimated from 5000 to 500 watts while pattern 9 reduced from broadly northward to a bit to the northwest. Still no sign of my nearest 1370, KGNO Dodge City KS. (GH‐OK) 1430 KASI IA Ames – 3/8 1428 – Good with home improvement program “At Home with Gary Sullivan,” then ID. (RD‐IA) 1450 KWBW KS Hutchinson – 4/5 0900 – “KWBW Hutchinson and Talk FM 98.5 (K253BP‐98.5) Nickerson.” (WH‐CO) 1470 KWAY IA Waverly – 3/8 1422 – Fair with station phone number given out during promo on how to get news tips to KWAY. (RD‐IA) 1490 KBUR IA Burlington – 3/8 1420 – Fair with “Newsradio 1490 KBUR” heard during promo for University of Iowa basketball coverage. (RD‐IA) 1500 WBZI OH Xenia – 3/27 0628 – Poor; twangy C&W, 2 PSAs, Classic Country Radio, no KSTP. (JJR‐WI) 1500 KMXO TX Merkel – 3/27 2035 – Spanish sermon from N/S, poor signal, attenuated KSTP no problem, but other QRM until KSTP fades up at 2041. Monolog sermon from TX points to KMXO in Merkel as in my March 24 morning log. (GH‐OK) 1500 KJIM TX Sherman – 4/11 2104 – With KSTP nulled, CBS News making SAH of about 3 Hz; 2105 right into NWS automaton with local weather for “Denison and surrounding locations.” Some NOS music and full sign‐off by KJIM, Sherman TX, with 1000 watts power, owner and address, “now leave the air” until 6 am with CBS News, and “the best songs and memories on the radio.” Official April SS/SR for KJIM are 2100/0800, so they figure it’s OK to run 7 minutes over. My second‐closest 1500, not new, but always nice to hear this good local station. (GH‐OK) 1510 KCKK CO Littleton – 4/3 2133 – Plug the show on now, “Weeknights at 7‐10 on The Rock,” from NW/SE amid heavy CCI, ergo KCKK. (GH‐OK) 1520 KSIB IA Creston – 4/9 0845 – Out of NBC Sports with ads, call letter ID, and an ad for Iowa National Guard. Rough in QRM. (JW‐CO) 1520 KMSR ND Mayville – 4/9 0859 – Mention of NBC Sports, then ID: “You’re listening to Sports Radio 1520 KMSR...KMSR... ,” probably a legal ID but did not get it all; NBC Sports Radio Update followed at ToH. Poor in QRM. (JW‐CO) 1520 KOKC OK Oklahoma City – 4/10 0920 – KOKC remains on air, and IDs as “Your 50,000‐ watt news source, News‐talk 1520, KOKC.” Not hardly! As we (but not ordinary listeners?) all know, it’s not been 50 kW for at least a couple of years, but 12.5 and now only 10 kW. Also at this hour with SAH from remnant of CRI via KYND TX. Slightly different angles allow KOKC to be minimized and KYND maximized by precise positioning of the DX‐398. (GH‐OK) 1520 KZOY SD Sioux Falls – 4/8 0800 – Male voice with legal ID: “Thank you for listening to Sunny Radio 92.1 FM and AM 1520 KZOY Sioux Falls and AM 1250 KZOI Dakota City‐Sioux City”; also mentioned website sunnyradio.com; very spotty after this, but seemed to be typical wake‐up fare, with an occasional Oldie tune. Tough copy, even with KOKC off. A new one for me, SD #36. Need only KJJQ‐910 to complete SD. (JW‐CO) 1520 KYND TX Cypress – 3/26 0854 – Chinese language lesson, which seems to occur daily at this time; two‐station legal ID at 0901 for KYND‐1520 and KGBC‐1540 Galveston. Fair peaks with occasional KKXA QRM. A lot easier with pest KOKC off. Thanks to Wayne Heinen for the heads‐up on KOKC being off. (JW‐CO) 4/6 0842 – With KOKC off for antenna replacement, CRI English with item about artificial snow for skiing in the Siena Valley, clip in Italian, i.e. the 25 kW daytime relay via KYND. I was going to check for // on 9570 via Cuba but during this hour it’s in Chinese. 4/9 0920 – Fair and steady signal from CRI English about S. Korean stocks, other financial news, “21 past the hour” time check; not // 9570 via Cuba which is ‘China Drive.’ At 0927, 1520 calls itself ‘Beijing Hour’ with promos past 0930. 25 kW daytimer, supposedly broad circular lobe tangent eastward, but we are NNW. This is almost a sesquihour after sunrise here (0807 today), but still skywaving in. Facilitated by the absence of KOKC, and no doubt as good in OKC, where this Chinese Communist usurpation of 1520 must cause a bit of consternation among the uninformed. Every time I hear this or another CRI relay in the USA, I am ireful, for China does not allow any US station to broadcast inside that country, let alone a US government outlet, and in fact jams them when they try to broadcast into from outside. The Chinese communists arrogantly take advantage of our democratic freedom of speech, the FCC not prohibiting 10 anything to do with programming, without any thought of reciprocating; which the U.S. ought to demand. (GH‐OK) 1520 KKXA WA Snohomish – 3/26 0805 – C&W music, “Classic Country 1520 K‐X‐A” slogans, periodic ad blocks. Have not yet heard a full ID for them. Fair peaks with KOKC off. (JW‐CO) 4/8 0402 – “Bring the Northwest the greatest country artists of all time Classic Country 1520 KXA, KKXA Snohomish.” New, finally taped an ID over KOLM. (WH‐CO) 1550 KXEX CA Fresno – 3/31 0201 – Out of soft‐spoken female announcer “KXEX Fresno” in EE by male announcer and continued in SS. (WH‐CO) 1550 KICS NE Hastings – 3/31 0900 – “All sports all the time KXPN Kearney KICS Hastings.” (WH‐CO) 1550 KYAL OK Sapulpa – 3/30 0859 – Ad for a Tulsa sports bar; “Top of the Hour sports Update”; multi‐station legal ID at 0901 mentioning KGND‐1470, KITO 97.1 FM, KYAL‐1550, KBIX‐1490, and a couple more FM’s; went into local sports talk after the ID. Fair with much QRM. At least 3 of the QRM’ing stations were also running sports and mixing together, making things difficult. A new one here, OK #51, thanks to local KDCO being off the air. (JW‐CO) 4/2 0400 – Long list of stations including KYAL slogan “The Sports Animal” mixing with KXEX and KDCC. (WH‐CO) 1560 KEBC OK Del City – 4/10 1420 – On car radio, KEBC Del City is once again back on its own, no longer duplicating 1520 KOKC, where rebuild of a single tower must now be complete. Instead on 1560 I am hearing Oklahoma high school sports promos (same one twice?), and Oklahoma Dept. of Health PSA, 1422 rejoining NBC Sports Radio. (GH‐OK) 1570 KBCV MO Hollister – 4/3 0557 – Out of Bott programing, “Serving the tri‐lakes area 24 hours a day KBCV.” (WH‐CO) 1580 KHIG CO Colorado Springs – 4/16 0930 – “Wake and Bake Morning Show” in progress, with man and woman chatting about marijuana‐related subjects; “K‐High 1580” slogans; website is letstalkpot.com; non legal‐ID at ToH as “KHIG Fountain‐Colorado Springs” (FCC database still shows Colorado Springs as CoL); ex‐KREL. Can’t imagine this format lasting very long. Thanks to Wayne Heinen for tip. (JW‐CO) 4/16 2310 – Talk programming about making your own sodas and then into talk about the benefits of sleeping nude. Kay High 15‐80 ID’s. They are supposed to be about Pot but seems other health matters do come up as well. NEW! (SMA‐MB) 1580 KREL CO Colorado Springs – 3/1 0720 – Out of commercials including denver5 star.com. Into weather report ending with “KREL Colorado Springs.” (JDS‐ MN) 3/27 0600 – Poor; LID, Fox Sports content, no CKDO. (JJR‐WI) 1580 KGAF TX Gainesville – 4/3 2130 – “Hometown Radio, KGAF” ID in the QRM, soon overtaken by sports talk, presumably KREL. KGAF is 250/250 watts U2 from Gainesville TX, which is almost‐Oklahoma. (GH‐OK) 1580 CKDO ON Oshawa – 3/7 0612 – Out of song: Take a Load Off, The Band, to ID “CKDO.” Into spot for ckdo.ca. Back to music: “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough.” (JDS‐ MN) 1590 KGAS TX Carthage – 3/28 2128 – General newscast, 2130 “ESPN Radio” and “KGAS Carthage” ID inserted, thank you very much, and into sports talk. Can we depend on all ESPN affiliates to ID like this on the semihour? (GH‐OK) 1590 KMIC TX Houston – 3/27 2024 – Ranchera music from NNW/SSE, or rather gospel since 2027 lyric includes ‘salvación.’ Good signal overcomes birdie around here impeding daytime reception of KVGB. This points to KMIC Houston, which as in DXLD 15‐04 had converted from Disney to Radio Aleluya. The hymn is cut off at 2030* sharp, which must have been official FCC sunset; no sign‐off, not even a semi‐sign‐off! Yes, 2030 is the March SS; April: 2045. At least, here’s one station which takes its responsibilities seriously, from ND day to totally directional SE into the Gulf at night, both 5 kW. (GH‐OK) 1620 WDND IN South Bend – 4/10 0158 – I find that R. Rebelde, Cuba is unusually dominant, but nulling it I hear some rock music past hourtop, later non‐ID by woman as “double‐play on U‐93.” Therefore it’s WDND, which, BION, AFAIK has never been logged here before (I don’t keep a master log, but searching out my archived log reports this century). 1620 is normally occupied here by news/talker WTAW TX and sportster KOZN NE, if not Cuba. Where are they? 11 At next hourtop 0259, I do pull out a WTAW ID amid the QRM, so it’s still there. (GH‐OK) 1630 KRND WY Fox Farm – 4/4 0214 – As often at bedtime, I had dozed off while bandscanning MW, but wake up a bit now to hear what sounds like “La Jota de Iguala, 94.7 FM y 1630 AM’ during music break. [Iguala was site of some horrific news recently]. I had earlier nulled KCJJ and was wondering where KKGM in Dallas was. All the while it’s making a fast SAH with one or the other. Thought I had discovered a new Mexican! But fully awake, I realize it was just KRND in Fox Farm WY and what they really must have said was “ La Jota Mexicana,” i.e. NOT Mexican. 94.7 is its FM. (GH‐OK) 1680 WPRR MI Ada – 4/15 0146 – Thom Hartmann promoing his program on WPRR, 0147 back to the “Grand Rapids studio” referring to an AP story. At peak, signal about equal to musical KRJO, mutually nullable, fast SAH between them. Didn’t catch time for Thom, but WPRR sked shows weekdays 9 am. “Renaissance thinking about the issues of our day with host Thom Hartmann,” via that hotbed of liberalism, Ada/Grand Rapids MI. But as we’ve found before, the WPRR program list is outdated, while the date‐by‐date program grid is presumably accurate, showing something else at 9 am; instead, Thom at 1‐2 pm EDT M‐F, and later a different title, so different show or really a repeat? And ‘Big Picture with Thom Hartmann’ at 1‐2 am Tue‐Sat, this should have been what I was hearing at 0146. (GH‐OK)

UNID 1020+ UNID ‐‐ 4/9 0247 – I’m getting a low audible het slightly on the hi side against nearby KOKP Perry OK; also some unreadable modulation even as to language. Never heard such a het before on it. Very rough DF is NE/SW, but when KOKP to the SE is nulled, I am mainly hearing KDKA as usual. Could it be KCKN? It has been running greatly reduced power for a long time, and could also have drifted off‐frequency. (GH‐OK) 1120 UNID ‐‐ 3/27 1434 – On car radio at local mean noon, I’m getting a very weak SAH, indicating two carriers interfering. I count it at 30 per 5 seconds = 360/minute = 6 Hz apart. No DFing possible, but there are really only two possibilities anywhere near: KMOX St Louis and KTXW Manor/Austin TX. (GH‐OK) 1240+ UNID ‐‐ 3/20 0010 – I am still detecting a low audio het from some off‐frequency graveyarder, looping WNW/ESE, a prime suspect being KCRT Trinidad CO. (GH‐OK) 1320 UNID ‐‐ 4/14 0849 – “107.9” in English mentioned in QRM, soon losing to something in Spanish, and usual LAH caused I think by my closest, KCLI, Clinton OK. Per WTFDA FM Database, KELO Sioux Falls SD (// KELQ‐107.9 Flandreau SD) and WMSR Manchester TN “Thunder 1320” (// W300BL 107.9) are possible. KELO would be the one audible here on SRS. However, when hunting thru the NRC Log I noticed a 107.1, possibly misheard as 107.9? That would be KVMC 1320 Colorado City TX, // KAUM 107.1. (GH‐OK) 1460 UNID ‐‐ 3/28 2125 – Tune‐by, ID as “The Outlaw, non‐stop country music,” loops about SSE/NNW. Can’t find that slogan for any 1460 in the NRC AM Log. The only country station around here is KCWM in Hondo TX, but I also can’t find any ‘Outlaw’ branding on http://www.kcwm.net website. So I bring up their stream at 0015. At 0023 they do utter “The World’s Best Country Music” as on website. So where is The Outlaw?? Outlaw County is a SiriusXM channel (60), any relation? (GH‐OK) 1550 UNID ‐‐ Heard daily around 0830 with Morning Mass in English, parallel to local EWTN. The EWTN website lists only one 1550 affiliate, “KYNO Fresno/Madera,” so might be KXEX, although they’ve been heard recently still in Spanish with the KXEX call letters. Loops roughly NE‐SW (toward Fresno). (JW‐CO) 1610 UNID ‐‐ 4/14 0130 – Open carrier with hum loops NE/SW, a new TIS transmitter around here? Not strong but too much and too steady to be CHHA Toronto. Not there when rechecked after sunrise circa 1300 UT. Possibly a local device, but haven’t heard it on 1610 before. GH‐OK)

Errata: In #82‐14, we reported J.E. Lewis’ log of CHML as being 50 KW. It’s actually should have been listed as 5 KW. The Editor regrets the error. (But CHML is 50 kW, that’s correct – DY.) Thanks to all our contributors. See you next time. (JDT‐WA) 12

UNID 1410 unID ‐‐ ‐ 4/5 0605 – Fair‐poor under WNGL with nonstop Mexi‐tunes until 0630, then Spanish man, into SS ballad (possibly Christian themed) from 0635, female from 0639, seemingly something religious block programming this Sunday plus Easter. Points NNW/SSE. Suspect the same one heard Dec. 28, 2014 with “La Raza 14‐10 AM” slogan, of which still there are no hits or listings I can find that match. (TLK‐FL)

LOGGINGS 540 WFLF FL Pine Hills – 3/17 2200 – End of “Brain Health” infomercial medical show, ID “WFLF Pine Hills‐Orlando, WMGF HD3 Mount Dora‐ Orlando,” into Fox news; good. (MC‐MA) CBT NL Grand Falls‐Windsor – 4/4 2358 – Highlights of upcoming programming, with CBC Radio One ID, after Day 6, ID at 0000: “This is CBC Radio 1 in Grand Falls/Windsor,” promo for upcoming show, CBC news. Poor to very poor mixing with presumed WLIE (Spanish programming). (PS‐ON) 600 WSOM OH Salem – 4/5 0024 – Tuned in to hear “600WSOM.com” ID and promptly lost it. Heard later with John Bachelor show. Poor. (PS‐ON) 610 WIOD FL Miami – 3/19 2000 – Miami traffic, “News Radio 610 WIOD” ID, weather; good. (MC‐MA) 640 WMEN FL Royal Palm Beach – 3/19 2000 – Man mentioning “in Royal Palm Beach‐ Miami,” ABC sports update; over Progreso Cuba. (MC‐MA) 670 WWFE FL Miami – 3/17 2200 – Spanish talk with Poderosa slogan and mention of “en Miami”; slightly over Rebelde Cuba. (MC‐MA) 680 WPTF NC Raleigh – 3/17 1900 – News on the hour, on “News Radio 680WPTF,” followed by ad for Reverse Mortgages, then into Clark Howard show. Good signal, in like a local! (LW‐NY) CFTR ON Toronto – 3/11 0510 – In with commercial for Premium Suites.com, followed by Nissan ad, “Nissan sale thru March 31” into weathercast for the area on the 11’s. (LW‐NY) 700 WCNF AL Dothan – 4/5 0359 – Nonstop modern black gospel, no ID across hour, fair‐poor under WLW. Clearly a violator, as this is a 1600 watt DA. Listed silent in the current NRC AM Log and with a former format, now “Praise 107‐7” in reference to translator W299BX, Smyrna, AL which is just east of Dothan. Confirmed by paralleling to iHeartRADIO. Thanks to NRC Member John Santosuosso for logging and sharing this one. (TLK‐FL) 13 710 WAQI FL Miami – 3/19 2001 – Spanish talk, “Mambi” jingle; under Cuba, no WOR. (MC‐MA) 740 WSBR FL Boca Raton – 3/19 1959 – “South Florida’s Money Talk Radio...WSBR” slogan; fair. (MC‐MA) 760 WCHP NY Champlain – 4/14 1940* – Praise music, way atop the frequency, then at 1945 full data sign off with man and woman alternating sentences: “At this time, WCHP must leave the air. WCHP is owned by Champlain Radio, Inc. Transmitter, studios, and offices are located in Champlain, NY. WCHP operates on the assigned frequency of 760 kHz, by authorization of the Federal Communications Commission in Washington, DC. Join us again tomorrow as we broadcast the great good news of Jesus Christ,” leaving an open carrier soon shut off, no sign of WJR. (TF‐NH) 790 WAXY FL South Miami – 3/17 2200 – Fort Lauderdale Auto Show advert, WAXY ID; over WPRV‐RI and Reloj Cuba. (MC‐MA) 830 WEEU PA Reading – 4/3 0705 – Over usual WCCO and CHAM‐820 slop with ABC news, “WEEU news time is 7:05,” into local traffic report and promo for Phillies baseball. (MKB‐ON) 850 WFTL FL West Palm Beach – 3/28 0657 – Board (bored?) op asleep at the wheel, if even present, with a 15‐second spot for the Craftmatic Adjustable Bed and toll‐free number continuously looping, and no top‐of‐hour ID. Finally and thankfully it stopped at 0725, into a long string of almost as boring national organization PSA’s. (TLK‐FL) +++ ‐ 3/23 2000 – ID “This is 850 WFTL West Palm Beach‐Fort Lauderdale‐ Miami” noted right after ID of equal‐strength WEEI Boston. (MC‐MA) 900 WSWN FL Belle Glade – 3/23 2000 – Promo for http://www.900thetalk.com/ website; under huge Progreso Cuba. (MC‐MA) 930 WMGR GA Bainbridge – 3/28 0703 – The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again” unabridged into The Replacements “Talking In Your Sleep” and Stevie Wonder “Signed, Sealed & Delivered, I’m Yours.” Trivia per Wiki: “WMGR was established in the late 40’s by Marvin Griffin, who later became Georgia’s 72nd Governor.” (TLK‐FL) WSEV TN Sevierville – 4/12 0640 – Female, “Hey there, welcome to the Great Smoky Mountains... 865‐366‐1111...” within the very long looping tourist information. This one is surely violating their 5000/148 watt requirement, as so often heard here. (TLK‐FL) 950 WROL MA Boston – 3/28 0700 – Over usual WWJ with “AM 950 WROL, the Spirit of Boston” ID into “Sunrise Sports” program, talking local sports (Bruins, Red Sox), apparently going off the board from their usual ethnic and brokered gospel. (MKB‐ON) I think the answer is that Bruins, Red Sox, etc. are considered a religion in Boston. – DY. 960 WKVX OH Wooster – 4/5 2335 – “If You Leave” by OMD, “...960 WKVX” ID at 2338, some talk, into more music, another “960 WKVX, Wooster” ID at 2342 into “Hot Child in the City” by Nick Gilder. Poor to very poor with WFIR mostly dominating. (PS‐ON) 990 CBW MB Winnipeg – 4/5 2353 – Opera music (Backstage with Ben Heppner show), Cancan from Gaite Parisienne by Leonard Bernstein, Dianna Krall “Let’s Face the Music and Dance,” “This is CBC Radio One, 990 AM and 89.3 Winnipeg” at 2359, promo for This American Life to be aired after the news, CBC news. Very good and in the clear. (PS‐ON) 1010 WHFS FL Seffner – 3/29 0650 – Another fine example of weekend sloppiness, with audio for WHFS and 99.5 FM WQYK (usually simulcast, but not at this Sunday hour) running at equal levels together. All abruptly stopped when net news came up at 0700. (TLK‐FL) 1120 WBNW MA Concord – 3/31 1925 – Alone on frequency with Glenn Beck program, ads for Farmers Insurance, Quicken Loans, On Deck Small Business Loans, ID for Money Matters Radio Network and Boston Talk. (TF‐NH) 1160 WEWC FL Callahan – 4/11 0700 – Mexi‐ballads, male canned “La Raza 92‐9 FM” slogan at 0708. http://larazalaraza.com/jacksonville/ confirms, so this must be W225BI, Stockade, FL (just east of downtown Jacksonville). Yet another station that touts a puny FM translator as their primary channel, embarrassed at owning an AMer. (TLK‐FL) 14 WSKW ME Skowhegan – 3/27 1926 – Old country music, signal mixing with WVNJ. Not usually heard here as Maine is on the other side of the mountains. (TF‐NH) WAIX NY Mechanicsville – 4/2 1928 – Atop frequency with rock music, at 1930 “This is the all new Mix 106.1,” into more rock music. (TF‐NH) 1170 WWLE NY Cornwall – 4/2 1957 – Vocal SSB in English, “WWLE, Cornwall, NY” ID in EE into Spanish music, atop frequency, no WWVA. Also noted 4/14 2015 with SS music, presumably using their post sunset authorization. (TF‐NH) 1200 WXKS MA Newton – 3/11 0600 – In with “Bloomberg 1130 New York, Bloomberg 1200 Boston” ID into news on the hour. (LW‐NY) 1220 WGNY NY Newburgh – 4/14 1920 – ESPN feed, ads for Burger King, Draft King.com, UNFI Foods, which is looking for truck drivers with CDL’s, Dr. John Carpenter, dentist, promo for “Let’s Talk, Hudson Valley” at 7:00 AM on Sundays, Weather for the Hudson Valley, interesting reception because 10,000 watt day signal goes west from their three towers. (TF‐NH) WENC NC Whiteville – 4/4 0610 – In WHKW/WSLM/WFAX mix with ad for “Joe’s Used Parts in Whiteville.” Never did hear ID, but this is enough for me. (KK‐VA) 1230 WBLQ RI Westerly – 4/4 0711 – In multi‐station mix (WFVA, WRBS, unID ESPN, oldies and C&W stations) with local program: “Time for the ‘Birthday Show’ on stereo 12‐30 WBLQ brought to you in part by Deion Rugby’s Servpro in Washington County...401‐315‐2337.

(KK‐VA) 1280 WJYE ME Gardiner – 4/2 1903 – Way atop frequency with country easy listening music (as opposed to the more honky‐tonk syndicated “Classic Country”), at 1910 Bob Bittner’s voice with “1280 AM Radio brings you country memories,” into Johnny Cash “I Walk the Line,” gone by 1915 to WPKZ. (TF‐NH) WHTK NY Rochester – 4/4 0728 – In multi‐station mix with “Fox Sports 12‐80 Rochester” slogan. (KK‐VA) WYVE VA Wytheville – 4/4 0637 – In multi‐station mix (WADO, WSAT, WHVR, WHTK, UNID oldies and talk) with male “Your favorite country AM 12‐ 80 WYVE” ID. (KK‐VA) 1290 WCCC CT West Hartford – 3/30 1948 – Preacher discussing what makes a good church, the “Great Commission,” and from Acts 1:8, and Proverbs 11:24‐ 26, lost at 1958 power drop, leaving WKBK alone on frequency. WCCC, which stands for “We Cover Connecticut’s Capital,” was recently sold and now formats paid religion. (TF‐NH) 1300 WGDJ NY Rensselaer – 4/4 0559 – In multi‐station mix with ToH ID as “WDGJ Rensselaer...Preston and...the capital district’s talk station.” (KK‐VA) WLNC NC Laurinburg – 4/4 0642 – In multi‐station mix (WSYD, WSSG, WDGJ, WMTM, WLXG, WNQM) with oldies, male ”...tune to 95.1 FM...

Call WNQM AM 1300 sale department at 615‐255‐1300...” (KK‐VA) 1320 WLQY FL Hollywood – 3/21 2300 – “WLQY” ToH ID; dominant. (MC‐MA) 1360 WOEN NY Olean – 4/4 1925 – Ad for the “Classic Countdown Show.” Call ID during ad. Fair signal. (HJH‐PA) 1370 WTAB NC Tabor City – 3/21 2300 – ToH ID as “We’re AM 1370 WTAB.” (MC‐MA) 1390 WEED NC Rocky Mount – 3/29 2300 – Loud at times with long fades, mostly alone. ID as “WEED Rocky Mount” and “We are 1390, Jammin’ Gospel” slogan. (HJH‐PA) 1410 WDOV DE Dover – 3/23 0005 – Very weak but alone with slow fade up during Fox News into Sean Hannity promo and ID, “on News Radio 1410 WDOV.” NEW! (SC‐IN) WZBR MA Dedham – 4/5 1920 – Yelling and screaming in Spanish, mixing with WPOP; after 1930, male preacher in English. (TF‐NH) 1440 WLWI AL Montgomery – 4/5 0657 – Red Eye Radio and net commercials, “This is News Radio 14‐40” at 0705, local commercials, into, “Welcome to Free Talk Live...” Fair in co‐channel jumble. (TLK‐FL) 1450 WLEC OH Sandusky – 3/28 0859 – More or less alone on frequency with local weather, “this is WLEC Sandusky” ID. (MKB‐ON) 1550 WNTN MA Newton – 4/12 0700 – Over CBEF and all comers with “10000 watts the world and you, 1550 WNTN Newton” ID, standard brokered‐time disclaimer that the following program does not represent the opinions of the staff of WNTN, into Greek program. (MKB‐ON) WKBA VA Vinton – 4/2 1859 – In multi‐station mix (WHIT, Cuba, UNID oldies, SS, Fox Sports stations) with ToH ID: “You’re listening to the Christian station 15‐50 AM WKBA Vinton, Roanoke At 13‐90 WTKA Lynchburg and worldwide coverage at wkbaradio.com.” (KK‐VA) WHIT WI Madison – 4/2 2032 – In multi‐station mix with female ”You’re tuned to WHIT 15‐50 AM...” ID.

Very unusual because WISP’s very directional signal crosses lower Bucks County, northeast Philadelphia, and South Jersey before heading into the Atlantic Ocean, a real surprise. (TF‐NH) WYTI VA Rocky Mount – 4/2 1959 – In multi‐station mix (WPGM, WNST, WNCA and unID talk) with male “You’re tuned to 15‐70 AM WYTI Rocky Mount Virginia also broadcasting... wytiradio.com” ToH ID.

The March auroral madness continues as DXers catch up with their logs. “This period of reception included a significant auroral event that affected DX considerably from MAR 18 to 25,” reports Mark Connelly. “Many audio clips were saved during this interesting propagation that helped Caribbean, Central American, and South American signals. A compilation of links to these audio clips may be accessed at www.qsl.net/wa1ion/doc1/audio_march2015.htm.”

[Saylor‐PA] MAR 28 1051 – Male with news items, chimes with singing ID at 1052, back to news items read by man and woman. Good with the local on 910 easily nulled.

XELE R.Preferida, Tampico, Tamps. is the one most often appearing here for me and looping about that way, but faded before any possible anthem and ID at 1100 UTC. [Krueger‐FL] 930 COLOMBIA HJCS La Voz Bogotá, Bogotá MAR 23 0040 – “Escuches la voz Bogotá, nueve cuarenta AM...” by woman, then light music with synths and bells.

[Connelly‐MA] 950 CUBA R.Reloj, Arroyo Arenas//Camagüey MAR 24 0231 – Woman “Radio Reloj... diez treinte y uno minutos”; loud, dominant. [Connelly‐MA] APR 10 0118 – As I have just logged XERN in Nuevo León, I hear the R.Reloj “RR” Morse code sounder, so I know it has to be Cuba, brought in a little better by rotating the DX‐398, but still all I can copy are the minutely time tone followed by RR for the next two minutes, and compared to WWV, Reloj is 17 seconds slow! WRTH 2015 shows two CMBDs on 950, each 10 kW: in Camagüey and closer Arroyo Arenas, Habana. [Hauser‐OK] 22 950 MEXICO XERN Montemorelos, NL APR 10 0117 – Mexican‐sounding PSA, then “La Mera Mera” slogan (plus La Ranchera? Not sure about that part), but I am sure an 8:17 time check followed and temp in Montemorelos. So it’s XERN, 5/1 kW in that Nuevo León city per Cantú, which however calls it “La Jefa.” Even further off is the IRCA Log listing as La Jefa in Monterrey. Where will WRTH find it? Monterrey, but called “Radio Naranjera” – at least that matched the call letters. Could that be what I heard, rhyming with mera? No, “La Mera Mera” was pretty clear and a slogan used by several Mexican stations, odd as it sounds. Montemorelos is about 52 km SE of Monterrey on Carretera 85, so just about a suburb easily linked to the metropolis. [Hauser‐OK] 960 CUBA R.Reloj, Guantánamo MAR 24 0100 – Clock ticks, Morse code RR and ID’s with news read by two woman parallel 570, 790, 850, 860 (weak), 870, 930, 950 (wobbly carrier), 980, 1020 kHz. [Saylor‐PA] MAR 24 0230 – Woman “Radio Reloj... diez y treinte minutos... Habana, Cuba”; fair to good. [Connelly‐MA] 970 MEXICO XESW R.Madera, Cd. Madera, Chih. MAR 27 0129 – Weak Spanish station from southwest, fortunately close to the null against local adjacent 960 KGWA. ID as R.Madera, automated time check for 6:29 by female voice, mentions FM 96.1, back to music; 0132 next break another full ID mentions Chihuahua, 6:31 time check, more music; some co‐channel from an ABC station in English, northwest/southeast but mostly nullable; 0135 yet another break with ID, ads, gobierno del estado PSA; promo a show lunes a viernes 6 a 7 de la mañana; 0137 auto time check for 6:37; 0140 gone. No sign of XEJ Juárez which we have not heard for months and believed to be off the air. Instead it is the other Chihuahuan on 970, as in Cantú: XESW, R.Madera, La Mera Mera, +FM 96.5, Cd. Madera, 5000 watt daytimer. IRCA agrees, yet schedule as 14‐05 UTC. Cantú also links to station website http:parallelwww.radiomadera.com/ which acknowledges that it is on 96.1, not 96.5; and the 5‐letter call for FM, XHESW is more like what I heard announced. [Hauser‐OK] 980 COLOMBIA HJES Cali MAR 24 0002 – “RCN Noticias” mention; mixed with Reloj Cuba. [Connelly‐MA] 980 CUBA R.Reloj, Moa MAR 24 0230 – “Reloj... desde la Habana, Cuba”; over jumble. [Connelly‐MA] 990 DOMINICAN REPUBLIC R.Cibao, Santiago MAR 23 2359 – Presumed; DR national anthem, something after by woman in Spanish, then faded into domestics. [Saylor‐PA] 1000 CUBA R.Granma, Media Luna MAR 24 0059 – March music, signature tune, “Transmite Radio Granma” by woman, continue tune then 9‐note chimes. [Saylor‐PA] MAR 26 0101 – Woman with “Radio Granma” ID, chimes; poor but dominant. [Connelly‐MA] 1000 MEXICO XEOY R.Mil, México, DF MAR 24 1100 – R.Mil ID and signature tune, promo for Santa Fe fútbol (presume the Colombian team, as he mentioned Colombia). [Saylor‐PA] 1000 VENEZUELA YVNM R.Caribeña, Morón MAR 24 0228 – R.Caribeña ID; poor. [Connelly‐ MA] 1010 COLOMBIA HJCC Bogotá MAR 24 0000 – Tentative. Spanish talk; way under WINS. Per Fredrik Douren on RealDX, “I can recognize the voice and I think there is a Acuario at 8 sec. so I’m pretty sure it is Bogotá.” [Connelly‐MA] 1020 CUBA R.Artemisa, Artemisa MAR 24 0015 – Pop music show hosted by fast talking young Spanish male announcer, R.Artemisa ID’s between songs. [Saylor‐PA] MAR 24 0231 – Two unID’s competing (weaker station using reverb) then Reloj Cuba sneaks in. Per Mauricio Molano (RealDX), “Radio Artemisa (ID) at 53 sec.” [Connelly‐MA] 1020 CUBA unID MAR 24 0001 – Talk seems to be Cuba and “revolucion” related but a different station from the co‐channel Reloj signal in the background. Per Chuck Hutton (RealDX), “Clearly Cuba but no program name or local mention.” [Connelly‐MA] 1030 MEXICO XEYC Cd. Juárez, Chih. APR 14 1245 – As I tune in, “Radio Fórmula, Ciudad Juárez” ID, quickly losing out to gospel huxtering in English, KCTA Texas or KCWJ Missouri. It’s XEYC, 1/1 kW per IRCA, or 5/0.5 kW per Cantú and WRTH. [Hauser‐OK] 1040 COLOMBIA unID MAR 24 0001 – Apparent Radio Colombia network ID; poor. [Connelly‐MA] 1040 CUBA R.Mayabeque, Guines MAR 24 0055 – “Transmite Radio Mayabeque, desde la Cuba...” by man, into noticias read by woman. [Saylor‐PA] 1060 CUBA Radio 26, Jovellanos MAR 24 0000 – Radio 26 ID; over WQOM and KYW. [Connelly‐ MA] 1060.065 MEXICO XEEP R.Educación, México DF APR 12 1038 – Off‐frequency again today. [Krueger‐FL] 1070 COLOMBIA HJCG R.Santa Fe, Bogotá MAR 20 0300 – Q’hubo Radio and R.Santa Fe ID’s; dominant. MAR 24 0001 – Q’hubo Radio jingle/ID, R.Santa Fe ID; to good peak. [Connelly‐ MA] 23 1090 COLOMBIA HJOM Cartegena MAR 20 0059‐0100 – Poor to fair well atop KVOP; deep voiced Spanish man giving the full list of stations and Bluradio ID’s. New! A huge surprise as this isn’t the usual HJ I see reported on 1090. Nice to have KAAY off. [Kazaross‐IL] 1100 BRAZIL ZYK694 R.Globo, São Paulo MAR 20 0300 – Portuguese talk, audio sweeps, wolf whistle; under WTAM. [Connelly‐MA] 1100 COLOMBIA HJAT Caracol Radio, Barranquilla MAR 24 0100 – Lots of Caracol Radio IDs into news by man. [Saylor‐PA] 1100 COLOMBIA HJCN BBN Radio, Bogotá MAR 24 0000 – Religious‐format Spanish speaker. Central American places mentioned. Not usual HJAT. Chuck Hutton (RealDX), “At 1 min. 40 sec. there’s a BBN ID. The references to Honduras and Guatemala are not local references. No doubt it is Bogotá.” Fredrik Douren (RealDX): “It’s BBN, the only one I know on 1100 is Bogotá, Colombia.” [Connelly‐MA] 1100 MEXICO XETGO Tlaltenango, Zac. MAR 30 0515 – I sit on this frequency for a while, as there is Mexican music without too much WTAM even though I’m not nulling it, but instead some local noise source. There are super‐hype voice actor exclamations between each tune, but difficult to copy. Try speaking in a normal tone of voice? No way! Finally at 0530 a peak allows me to make out a “Radio Cañón, 90.1 FM” ID, then a political for Partido Humanista; so it’s XETGO, 30000/400 watts, really? It sounds like less than 30 kW, but more than 400 watts. I already heard it recently and also has been reported much further into El Norte. Seems to be the dominant XE on 1100 now among five or seven others listed. [Hauser‐OK] 1100 VENEZUELA YVSV R.Angostura, Cd. Bolivar MAR 22 0212 – Tentative; YV national anthem and time pips at odd time of 0215, under Colombia. [Saylor‐PA] 1110 CUBA R.Angulo, Holguín MAR 24 0001 – R.Angulo ID; poor but dominant. [Connelly‐ MA] 1110 VENEZUELA YVQT R.Carúpano, Carúpano MAR 24 0230 – Electronic sound, ID, “Esta es Radio Carupano”; to fair peak. [Connelly‐MA] 1120 PUERTO RICO WMSW R.Once, Hatillo MAR 24 0000 – ID’s “WMSW... Hatillo, Puerto Rico... Radio Once”; dominant. [Connelly‐MA] 1140 CUBA R.Surco, Morón MAR 24 0000 – ID, “Transmite CMIP, Radio Surco, desde Ciego de Avila, capital de la locución cubana”; fair, dominant. [Connelly‐MA] MAR 24 0030 – Surco’s synthesized tune, “Transmite CMIP Radio Surco...” over WQBA. [Saylor‐PA] 1140 MEXICO XEMR Monterrey, NL MAR 24 0229 – Possible ID about 6 sec. into audio clip. Per Bruce Conti (RealDX): “Sounds like ‘desde Monterrey’ and the type of programming (at least as far as I can tell from such a short audio clip) that would be on XEMR.” [Connelly‐ MA] 1150 CUBA R.Bayamo, Bueycito MAR 24 0232 – R.Bayamo ID; dominant. [Connelly‐MA] 1160 ANTIGUA Caribbean Radio Lighthouse, St. John’s MAR 24 0000 – Caribbean Radio Lighthouse ID, hymn; over unID Spanish, WOBM, others. [Connelly‐MA] 1170 COLOMBIA HJNW Caracol Radio, Cartagena MAR 20 0000 – Caracol Radio ID; fair, dominant.

[Connelly‐MA] 1210 CUBA R.Sancti Spíritus, Sancti Spíritus MAR 23 2359 – Two stations. One is Rebelde Cuba. Second one has chimes around 20 sec. and talk that might be ID material. Per Bruce Conti (RealDX): “The chimes belong to Radio Sancti Spíritus (Cuba).” [Connelly‐MA] 1210 CUBA R.Rebelde, unknown site MAR 24 0230 – Organ music and Rebelde ID; under WPHT.

2015 Ultralight Radio Shootout Review By Gary DeBock, Puyallup WA, USA February 2015 (Continued from last issue)

SECTION THREE – FINAL VERDICTS

C.CRANE POCKET: This vertical form receiver is a compact and convenient pocket radio suitable for sporting activity, travel and many other functions. C.Crane is to be commended for designing several unusual capabilities into the model in an attempt to improve its market appeal relative to its obvious competition – the Sangean DT‐400W. Unfortunately, though, none of those additional capabilities provide it with any type of competitive edge in the rough world of weak‐ signal DXing. The Sangean more than hold its own in MW, FM and Weather Band sensitivity and in MW selectivity – regardless of which filter is selected in the CC Pocket. To be sure, the 1 kHz step tuning, far more memories, the alarm function, the more powerful speaker, longer warranty and rubber‐like trim will appeal to some purchasers, but the Sangean’s “fun factor” is an intangible asset which has kept it in steady demand for 7 years. The CC Pocket’s performance in this ultra‐ competitive Shootout has repeatedly been at the back of the pack – which doesn’t necessarily mean that it has issues, but more likely that it is not really suitable for an all‐out DXer looking for an MW, FM or Weather Band performance edge. For this type of purchaser the $64.95 price ($5.00 more than the innovative Traveler III, for example) will seem excessive – especially in light of the CC Pocket’s lackluster performance in all four of the Shootout categories. SANGEAN DT‐400W: This bright yellow pocket radio performed about as well as could have been expected from a 2008‐design vertical form receiver without an advanced DSP chip. Despite its limited loopstick length and lack of any filter choice it had fairly good Medium Wave sensitivity, and usually displayed a slight edge over its CC Pocket competitor in the other categories as well. To be sure it lacks several of the CC Pocket’s versatile features but in competition with that model it excels in the real‐world DXing capabilities that really count. DXers who have been captivated by the model’s unique charm and unusually pleasant audio will be pleased with its overall performance in this Shootout – even if it is no longer at the top of the pack in MW sensitivity, selectivity or any other category except for audio fidelity. Basically, it provides the best possible MW and FM‐DXing performance available in such a small vertical‐from receiver – with a lot of fun thrown in as a bonus. One listen of your favorite song on FM stereo (with the Deep Bass Boost engaged) will convince you that the radio is an unusual gem – and that the $57.67 price is a true bargain. Sangean’s 2008‐design model has been a classic good seller for 7 years now – so why change a winning combination? TECSUN PL‐310ET: At its introduction in September of 2009 this model led the Ultralight Radio class in almost every category – and in certain capabilities it is still the overwhelming class leader. Its FM and Shortwave sensitivity are in a class of its own, and it is still highly competitive in Medium Wave selectivity. Unfortunately Tecsun has done nothing to correct the MW‐DXing quirks of the 2009‐design radio – offering manufacturers like C.Crane and Eton an opportunity to introduce new models which correct them very effectively. As such, the Tecsun PL‐310ET (and its related models) no longer stand at the top of the Ultralight Radio class in the all‐important 25 capability of Medium Wave DXing performance. Breakthrough innovation has allowed the new CC Skywave and Traveler III models to take over the MW selectivity and MW sensitivity honors, respectively. Despite this fact the PL‐310ET still has plenty to offer the all‐out DXer – including Medium Wave enthusiasts who don’t particularly mind the model’s digital quirks. The multiple display functions, powerful audio amp, advanced digital search functions and superior memory capacity are significant advantages for DXers on any band, and hobbyists who have become accustomed to these features may be reluctant to part with them. A related model (the PL‐380) has become a favorite for Longwave loopstick upgrades combined with 1 kHz DSP filtering – a capability which no competing model possesses. For FM and Shortwave‐DXing enthusiasts the model (and its Tecsun siblings) are really the only serious choices, with weak signal performance in a higher league than any competing model. In summary, despite the fact that its MW performance has finally been upstaged (after over five years), its $49.89 price is a true bargain for all of the DXing performance that the radio still offers. C.CRANE SKYWAVE: By correcting all of the Tecsun model MW‐DXing digital quirks and introducing breakthrough Air Band and Weather Band capabilities as well, C.Crane has created a dream portable for both Medium Wave split‐frequency DXers and worldwide travelers as well. Although it lacks many of the Tecsun’s digital search, display and memory capabilities and costs significantly more, its unusual combination of excellent MW sensitivity, very effective 1 kHz DSP filtering and improved DX station audio is enough to motivate most Ultralight class transoceanic DXers to come up with the cash. Concentrating on both Medium Wave performance and the new Air Band capability, C.Crane is to be commended for their innovation in developing such an impressive new pocket radio, having both excellent versatility and outstanding build quality. Although it gets slightly edged out by the new Traveler III in MW sensitivity and nulling ability it has excellent MW sensitivity itself – and leads the Ultralight class in MW selectivity. That superior combination is enough to make it the new transoceanic DXing Ultralight radio of choice – and satisfy the desires of many hobbyists who have waited years for a manufacturer to correct bogus heterodynes, “soft mute” and unbalanced 1 kHz DSP audio. For domestic MW‐DXers who would also like relief from these irritants but who feel that the C.Crane’s $89.95 price is “sky high,” Eton’s new Traveler III is the dream alternative. ETON TRAVELER III: Domestic MW‐DXers will be pleased to know that innovation and creativity are alive and well at the Eton company – which has created the most sensitive (and stylish) MW‐DXing pocket radio ever to exist on the planet. Although it lacks the Skywave’s breakthrough split‐frequency capability it also corrects all of the Tecsun models’ MW digital quirks, and introduces an exceptional nulling capability as well. The Traveler III has a few minor digital quirks of its own but these are insignificant in comparison to its outstanding combination of MW sensitivity, audio fidelity and nulling capability – making it a true pleasure to seek out weak MW signals. The new Eton model’s innovation does seem to be concentrated on MW performance at the expense of the other bands and its lack of DSP filtering options will probably not satisfy split‐ frequency DXers in need of the best possible selectivity, but its single filtering option is relatively effective, and in combination with its outstanding nulling capability it can occasionally dig out very weak MW signals adjacent to strong locals. Its $59.99 price is a true bargain for domestic MW‐DXers in search of the best possible sensitivity, audio fidelity and nulling capability – and the stylish cabinet design, display appearance and carrying case may well provide this new radio with an intangible “fun factor” as a major bonus. SUMMARY: Now that you have the most detailed Ultralight radio purchasing guide on the planet, why not take the plunge, and invest some minor pocket change in one of these new innovative new pocket radios? Whether for serious DXing or for travel reception, these new models provide amazing new capabilities far beyond the humble pocket radios of the last century. If you grew up as a teenager with such a transistor radio introducing you to the thrills of DX, you will discover that the thrills of DX have taken a quantum leap with these astonishing new models. So go ahead and make your choice – and discover the unique thrills of chasing rare DX with a highly advanced pocket radio! The 1,500+ member Ultralight Radio Yahoo Group waits to welcome you, and provide you with all the assistance you need in providing a major boost in your own hobby satisfaction. 73 and Good DX, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)

Here is Major League Baseball (MLB) flagship information for the 2015 season from my Internet searches. Please send me announcer information (and corrections), as some of the web pages either did not list the announcer names or were definitely from last season (and maybe did not change for this season, but I have no way of knowing). And sometimes I cannot determine if an announcer is on radio only, TV only, or both. Any copyright statement on an mlb.com page is probably placed there automatically, even if the page content has not changed for the current season. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_Major_League_Baseball_broadcasters has broadcaster information, but the references at the end of that web page list “Retrieved 2010‐11‐11” for many teams. But that page was last updated 12 April 2015, at 23:05. In some cases I was not sure that the network list was for the 2015 season, as many lists were undated. If a found a list that had no definite 2015 date but differed from the list I found last year, then I treated the list as one for the 2015 season even though the list might be for last season but changed since I downloaded it at the beginning of the season. Note that if a station streams its broadcasts over the Internet, I believe that the station cannot stream the baseball broadcasts because the Major League Baseball organization wants listeners to get a paid subscription via mlb.com. On the mlb.com site for some teams, the announcers are listed under the “ROSTER” tab. It is now time to begin collecting Minor League Baseball information; please send me what you can find. Thanks.
