LOGGINGS 540 CBK SK Regina – 1/15 0039 – Song by Galaxy, story by announcer about visiting the US in the 80s, “La Mule” by Malicorne, more French language songs, “This is CBC Radio One 94.1 Saskatoon” at 0059, “Working Moms” promo on CBC TV, CBC news, weather for Saskatchewan. Fair to very poor in static. (PS‐ON) 550 KTSA TX San Antonio – 1/22 0642 – Brokered quack cure‐all supplements talker. (TLK‐ FL) Their programming sounds like XERF‐1570 in days of yore. Mike. 600 KTBB TX Tyler – 1/22 0650 – Outdoors program, advert for some rolling outdoors event in Deer Park, Ft. Worth, Austin and mention of Austin Community College. Talk about a new double barrel shotgun. Parallel station website stream. (TLK‐ FL) 690 WADS CT Ansonia – 1/4 1615 – Spanish music over CKGM, weak signal, only SS station listed on the frequency in log, directional away from here. New for me. (TF‐NH) KGGF KS Coffeyville – 1/22 0702 – Fox News, weather for South Coffeyville (just across the border in OK; apparently those in KS are shunned) and Tulsa at 0705, then “And now, When Radio Was” with Fibber McGee & Molly, Molly chatting of course with Mr. Gildersleeve. Briefly local level. (TLK‐FL) 750 WNDZ IN Portage – 1/23 1725 – Fair on top with SS Catholic program, many mentions of Santa Maria.

According to Wikipedia WQSV was sold in 2013 and its call signs changed to WJNA. There is a WQSV website wqsv790am.com. Calls are WJNA according to NRC AM Radio Log 2016, FCC etc., but it looks like they switched back to their WQSV calls. Poor to very poor in station mix with WAEB. // to WJNA stream on Tune In. (PS‐ON) 820 WCPT IL Willow Springs – 1/23 1722 – Tuned by to hear, “Chicago’s progressive talk WCPT.” Fair over shouting huckster and another talker.

Peaking in the muddle; NPR also there. (HF‐MI) 930 WBEN NY Buffalo – 1/20 1704 – Many call letter IDs and promos (Bless them!), e.g. “News radio 9‐30 AM WBEN,” “WBEN.com,” and IDs during local weather. Peaking in the mix.

(TLK‐FL) 1140 CBI NS Sydney – 1/16 1620 – Discussion about impact of social media on society, and effect on established media, weak signal, no sign of usual WRVA or WCJW whose 2300 watt critical hours’ signal is a regular dawn and dusk visitor here.

Parallel station website stream. WAMT co‐channel with the usual Haitian programming.

(MKB‐ON) WNQM TN Nashville – 1/22 1600 – “This is WNQM Nashville, Thirteen Hundred” ToH ID, mention of Nashville Quality Ministries and address on Clarksville Highway. Somewhat surprised to hear a station this distant at this time of day. (RJS‐OH) 1310 WTLC IN Indianapolis – 1/20 2025 – Mostly alone with good signal. Ads for Jackson Hewitt and Macy’s and promos for Willie Moore Show 3 to 6. Also promo for “Get Up Erica 6 to 9 AM on AM 1310 The Light.” No call ID. (HJH‐PA) 1340 WGAW MA Gardner – 12/29 1700 – Local ad for Pizzeria in East Templeton, weather for Central Massachusetts, ID for WGAW, and station lost in the mess. (TF‐NH) WMID NJ Atlantic City – 1/19 1030 – Oldies music, ID with note of web streaming, into local/regional sports talk later. Fair, but weaker than //1230 WCMC. (RL‐NC) 1350 WOAM IL Peoria – 1/14 1934 – Nostalgic/American Standards music including “Honeycomb” by Jimmy Rogers, “WOAM” ID at 1940, more music.

Lots of ads with multiple Iowa mentions, Insurance ad with a 515 area code, caught “KRNT” mention at 1947. Fair to poor over WOAM. (PS‐ON) WPDR WI Portage – 1/17 1810 – Fighting the usual sports talkers with local news, “and now you’re up to date on WPDR” into “WPDR” jingle and “I Just want to be your Everything” by the Bee Gees. (MKB‐ON) 9 1360 WKMI MI Kalamazoo – 1/21 1754 – Sean Hannity on “Talk Radio 13‐60 WKMI.” Main peaker in the mix with oldies, Fox Sports and Limbaugh (not WKMI). (HF‐MI) WTOC NJ Newton – 1/3 1638 – Spanish hymns with female announcer over/under usual WDRC, including a concert (or church service), male announcer at 1700, soon lost under WDRC with Michael Savage. Call stands for “The Oldies Channel”; WTOC’s day signal from two towers comes this way. (TF‐NH) WSAI OH Cincinnati – 1/23 1701 – Fox Sports, “Fox Sports 13‐60 traffic” at 1715 with Cincinnati area traffic. In and out with rival Michiganders WKMI Kalamazoo and “Oldies 13‐60” WKYO Caro. (HF‐MI) 1370 WLJW MI Cadillac – 1/20 1659 – Over usual WXXI/WSPD one‐two punch with SRN news, reading from Book of Lamentations, long legal ID: “You’re tuned to the Source...” mentioning several // stations and FM translators as well as WLJW.

(PS‐ON) 1400 WZHR FL Zephyrhills – 1/14 0701 – Beautiful rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by the equally beautiful Nikki Yanofsky, into “Our Day Will Come” by Ruby & the Romantics. Parallel 1340 WTAN. NOS is filler when nothing brokered or junk is scheduled, and not always parallel even then. (TLK‐FL) WCYR ME Veazie – 12/29 1645 – Country oldies mixing with WGIN, WLLH and others, “1400 – The Country Road” slogan into ABC News at 1650. New for me.

(TF‐NH) 1450 WKAL NY Rome – 1/15 0700 – Over the din; “Talk Radio AM 1450 WKAL Rome‐Utica.” (BC‐NH) 1490 WTVL ME Waterville – 1/5 1655 – Oldies stuff, then “Kool AM 1490” slogan, no mention of 1400 in Augusta which simulcasts 1490. (TF‐NH) WICY NY Malone – 12/29 1635 – Rock oldies, then a quick WICY ID, more oldies, then the young male announcer ID’ed “102.7 WICY” and was gone. (TF‐NH) 1500 KCLF LA New Roads – 1/14 0643 – “If You’re Not Back In Love By Monday” by Millie Jackson in passing. Always a fun format station. (TLK‐FL) 1520 WARR NC Warrenton – 1/12 1710 – Good with ID “WARR Warrenton, North Carolina” during middle of Gospel tune. No trace of usual WWKB at this time.

(MKB‐ON) 1600 KRVA TX Cockrell Hill – 1/15 0648 – Nonstop Vietnamese pop/ballads, no ID heard across the hour and obviously night power cheating. Presumed the one, and presume still “Radio Saigon” but no worthy website, much less working stream found. Completely clobbering anything else normally on the channel. (TLK‐FL) 1610 CHHA ON Toronto – 1/18 1631 – Man in SS taking calls; likes to shout “Bravo.” Fair peaks with fading to zilch. (HF‐MI) 1660 WQLR MI Kalamazoo – 1/16 0820 – Ad for Mulder Auto Sales located in Portage, then “Sixteen‐Sixty the Fan” slogan. (RJS‐OH) 1680 WPRR MI Ada – 1/18 1332 – Thom Hartmann Show with commentary and calls focusing on veterans health care. Very brief break at 1345 with only show ID and no station ID.

DX LOGS 540 CBK SK Watrous – 1/12 0820 – Discussion of drought and floods due to climate change in Saskatchewan, from CBK in well, or XETX La Ranchera de Paquimé, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, frequent canned IDs, mutually nullable without anything from the country in between. (GH‐OK) 560 KLZ CO Denver – 1/12 2058 – Under KLVI with legal ID, mentioned “5‐60 AM and 100.7 FM”, into USA radio news. (CK‐TX) 580 WYHM TN Rockwood – 1/17 0700 – Poor; others nulled. “Panama” by Van Halen, LID, USA Radio News. (JJR‐WI) 680 CJOB MB Winnipeg – 1/12 0824 – Treacherous traffic report about Winnipeg area from CJOB, Chevrolet dealer sponsor. Good for a while rather than St Joe or San Antonio, just after hearing 540 CBK and before hearing 750 CKJH; see separate logs. CJOB is 50/50 kW U4, both day and night patterns going N/NNE, little or nothing to the south, yeah, sure. (GH‐OK) 11 710 KCMO MO Kansas City – 1/12 2058 – Fair‐good signal mixing with KGNC, ad, legal ID, CBS “news.” (CK‐TX) 730 CKDM MB Dauphin – 1/19 0818 – Area events calendar, then news headlines with Mark; hockey scores, ads, then back to music at 0823. Fair/good with high local noise level. (JW‐CO) 740 WNOP KY Newport – 1/24 0643 – Poor though steady. CFZM easily nulled this morning. Sunrise morning show. (JJR‐WI) 750 WNDZ IN Portage – 1/12 0853 – Ukrainian with heavy American accent, mention www.oldtownschool.org which is a folk music school in Chicago, so certainly WNDZ. I had already heard Utah and Saskatchewan on 750, much further west. Maybe some CCI in Spanish now, El Paso or Grand Island. (GH‐OK) 750 KBNN MO Lebanon – 1/12 0929 – After Howard Kurtz, Fox mention, “Newstalk 750” ID and calls sounded like KGNU, but only fit is KBNN, 5 kW daytimer, after hearing other 750s: KOAL, CKJH, WNDZ. (GH‐OK) 750 KOAL UT Price – 1/12 0828 – America’s Morning News show going into commercial break, loops NW/SE, ad for attending NASCAR in Vegas, fading and separable from Canadian [q.v.], back in at 0835. I think this must be KOAL, likely on ND day pattern since at night it’s cardioid nulling east. And KOAL is news/talk with lots of networks, but NRC AM Log does not show it as a TRN affiliate. (GH‐ OK) 750 CKJH SK Melfort – 1/12 0830 – Nulling KOAL, I get another station in English, obviously Canadian referring to km, highway 345(?), provincial news, Battleford, Prince Albert, high temperature minus 26, yourtownnews.ca which in turn is connected to CK750, as CKJH is branded, linking to http://www.ck750/com and plug a pizza party. One woman seems to be doing all the announcing, news and commercials. Need USB tuning to avoid 740 KRMG splash. CKJH day pattern is ND; night pattern mostly to the north. (GH‐OK) 1/14 0843 – “CK 750” ID, then “Weekend Update” (area events), sponsored by a local Chevy dealer; back to Oldies music at 0845. Fair signal.

(JJR‐WI) 790 KNST AZ Tucson – 1/19 0830 – The Morning Report, with host Garrett Lewis, who mentioned that the inauguration day broadcast would be live from Dickeys BBQ; “Tucson’s most stimulating talk.” Fair in the noise.

(CK‐TX) 830 KUYO WY Evansville – 1/22 0644 – Popped on at 0844:45 with sign‐on announcement, one hour before local sunrise (listed as daytimer); upbeat religious music followed. Fair, mixing with WCCO. (JW‐CO) 900 WJLG GA Savannah – 1/18 0648 – Poor, no CHML. Steady. Fox Sports, PSAs, promos, no calls into or out of stop sets. Went to others frequencies till :00 when there was a LID. (JJR‐WI) 950 KPRC TX Houston – 1/12 2058 – Fair signal with call letter ID, Fox News radio news. (CK‐ TX) 1020 KDKA PA Pittsburgh – 1/20 2259 – First time logged since moving to AZ in 1996.

Call‐in talk show and then a PSA for the National Center for Homeless Veterans, followed by TOH ID with mentions of FM 93.7, HD‐2, and KDKA.com and then into CBS News.

That’s as long as Freebird/Lynyrd Skynrd! WISN off for engineering work. On at :35. (JJR‐WI) 1130 WBBR NY New York – 1/24 2212 – Poor; KTLK nulled. “Bloomberg news brings you...” WISN off until :35 for engineering work. 1/25 2212 Poor ‐”I’m ??? Bloomberg News.” Also heard NY traffic report. While still poor, stronger than last night. WISN off until :35 for engineering work. Night #2 in a row of WISN being off for engineering tweaks (at 9pm????) (JJR‐WI) 1160 KVCE TX Highland Park – 1/23 0801 – End of ad followed by “The Word 100.7 KWRD FM (Highland Park?), KVCE Highland Park, Dallas, Fort Worth. A service of 12 Salem Media Group,” into talk that sounded like local news. Poor with KSL nulled, no sign of XEQIN. Since I’m in the KSL nighttime coverage this was a surprise new catch. (NJ‐AZ) 1190 KDYA CA Vallejo – 1/26 1950 – Religious programming with the Bible Thought For The Day followed by “Gospel 1190, The Light, Northern California’s only Gospel Music Radio Station. Gospel 1190 AM broadcasting 24 hours a day at Gospel1190.com. (CSD‐AZ) 1190 WAFS GA Atlanta – 1/17 0719 – Poor. “Biz 1190,” America’s Morning News, lost to WOWO. (JJR‐WI) 1220 WSLM IN Salem – 1/6 2300 – Local weather by woman but too much QRM to copy detail, ID almost certainly WSLM, the cheater dominating 1220 west of Cleveland despite licensed 5000/82 watts. (GH‐OK) 1230 WSOO MI Sault Ste Marie – 1/24 0634 – Poor; Northern Michigan something ??, on Portage (Ave or Street,) Sault Ste Marie. news, calls. (JJR‐WI) 1240 WOBT WI Rhinelander – 1/24 0707 – Fair @ 50/9! Never heard this strong in 50 years of DXing! “Hodag Classics” slogan and satellite fed classic country. Alone. (JJR‐ WI) 1240 KASL WY Newcastle – 1/17 0916 – Weather for northern Wyoming. Briefly readable thru the QRM. (JW‐CO) 1260 KDLF IA Boone – 1/12 0859 – Norteña music past hour top, 0902 fade for ID, maybe “La Tremenda.” None such; I’ll have to settle for likely La Reina, which is KDLF, 5000/33 watts for Des Moines market. (GH‐OK) 1260 KSGF MO Springfield – 1/12 2058. Good peak with ad, legal ID: “Broadcasting from the Downstream Casino Resort studio, this is 104‐1 KSGF Springfield, news‐talk FM” by man, into Fox News radio news. (CK‐TX) 1270 WQKR TN Portland – 1/23 1847 – Briefly over WKBF & KNWC with ad for Sumner Regional Medical Center in Gallatin, then promo: “If you like the music that we play on WQKR...” TN #37 at this QTH.

(CK‐TX) 1/13 0939 – Oil and gas report, with emphasis on the Permean Basin ‐ price per barrel, number of oil and gas rigs in the area, etc. Fair but lost to KGAK a few minutes later. Seems to be a tad low in frequency, like about 1329.99 or .98. (JW‐CO) 1350 KZTD AR Cabot – 1/12 2058 – Weak in mess with legal ID by woman mentioning “Cabot, Arkansas.” (CK‐TX) 1360 WMOB AL Mobile – 1/6 2258 – Immediately at tune in, “You are listening to WMOB Mobile, and WTOF Bay Minette,” into another gospel station before top of hour. Yes, the two are //, WTOF supposedly a 10 kW daytimer on 1110, and WMOB running only 200 watts at night, 9000 watts day. Contraindications explicable only as the Word of God thumping the Rules of Man. (GH‐OK) 1360 WVRQ WI Viroqua – 1/11 0808 – Fair with end of local newscast: “...with news from WVRQ, I’m...”, then lost. WI #53 here. (RD‐NE) 1410 KGSO KS Wichita – 1/12 2058 – Fair‐good signal in mess with promo, call letter ID, mention of 93.9 FM, into basketball game.

(JR‐OK) 1440 WKPR MI Kalamazoo – 1/17 0805 – Poor with weather, “Christian Radio WKPR 1440 & FM 105.1.” Despite closeness, not common. Alone. (JJR‐WI) 1450 KSIW OK Woodward – 1/16 1857 – Quick “KSIW Woodward” ID, then ad for employoklahoma.com. Tough copy, with lots of competition on the frequency. (JW‐CO) 1460 KBZO TX Lubbock – 1/12 2058 – Spanish. Fair peak in mess with call letter ID by woman: “Estas escuchando KBZO ____ deportes, 14‐60 AM…”, into promo for “futebol”. (CK‐TX) 1470 KYYW TX Abilene – 1/18 0833 – Weather, “...from K‐tab, your weather authority” (local TV Channel 24 KTAB); call letter ID and back to talk show, Bill Bennett, I think. Fair at best. (JW‐CO) 1480 KIOU LA Shreveport – 1/17 2130 – Brief with religious talk and call ID. New here. (JR‐ OK) 13 1530 KLBW TX New Boston – 1/16 1800 – Weak in a jumble of other stations, only caught call ID, then the signal was lost. (JR‐OK) 1600 KGYM IA Cedar Rapids – 1/16 2140 – Heard briefly under KATZ with sports and call ID. KATZ was in/out with a strong signal when in. (JR‐OK) 1610 CHHA ON Toronto – 1/6 2349 – South Asian songs dominating at S9+20, no doubt CHHA Toronto during its Mon‐Fri Punjabi hour, but hardly Latina! (GH‐OK) 1620 WNRP FL Gulf Breeze – 1802 – “News‐talk 1620, now on FM 92.3” non‐ID, also mentions Fox. WTFDA FM Database, which now allows searching on // column, quickly clinches it as this // W222BR. (GH‐OK) 1690 WVON IL Berwyn – 1/19 1605 – Another daytime DX catch. Harris RF‐590 using double sideband reception was best. The station was so weak I had to use both the loop and whip phased together for maximum signal. Call ID heard and UC talk. (JR‐ OK) 1700 KKLF TX Richardson – 1/17 1345 – SS pop music, very weak and best on a Harris RF‐590 set up for double sideband with carrier zero beat. Needed the loop antenna. This winter daytime DX station shows up about this time each year. (JR‐OK)

UNID 1560.93 UNID ‐‐ 1/6 2251 – Stepping down the MW band, I hear a weak het of almost 1 kHz above 1560, KKAA SD, Family Radio hymn // 920 KYFR IA. The het seems to peak roughly N/S too. (GH‐OK)

TRANS‐ATLANTIC DX 855 SPAIN RNE1 Murcia et al. JAN 20 2250 – News talk with synchro echo; over unID music likely Romania. [Conti‐NH] 864 EGYPT ERTU Santah JAN 20 2253 – Fair; Koran. [Conti‐NH] 1089 UNITED KINGDOM TalkSport synchros JAN 20 2155 – Fair with synchro echo; discussion about President Trump, ad/promo string leading up to the hour, “On digital radio, 1089 and 1053 AM,” and news headlines with sound bite of anti‐Trump protest chants. [Conti‐NH] 1215 UNITED KINGDOM Absolute Radio synchros JAN 24 0218 – Oldies/pop music, heard a mention of the BBC, more music including “Africa” by Toto, tried for TOH ID but only heard what sounded like a jingle, “All Star” by Smashmouth. Very poor, but audible sometimes with lots of slop from 1210 WPHT and 1220 WHWK. Confirmed “Africa” by Toto played at 0223 and “All Star” by Smashmouth at 0302 by Absolute Radio’s playlist online. [Snider‐ON]

PAN‐AMERICAN DX 540 MEXICO XEWA Los 40 Principales, San Luis Potosí, SLP JAN 22 1133 ‐ “Don’t Talk Anymore” by Charlie Puth & Selena Gomez, into other English language pops. Presumed site, or is it the lower power Monterrey? [Krueger‐FL] 539.834 NICARAGUA R.Corporación, Managua JAN 22 1118 ‐ Good in passing with Spanish sermon on a Sunday morning. [Krueger‐FL] 580 MEXICO XEMU Piedras Negras, Coah. JAN 26 1302 ‐ Spanish vs WIBW in English, temps in F and C; discussing exchange rates differing little between bancos and casas de cambio, and the puente; this‐day‐in‐history; 7:05 time check at 1305; 878‐ phone number, U.S. toll‐free apparently. So it’s obviously XEMU Piedras Negras, Coahuila on the border. Fortunately, no wasteful wall will prevent signals penetrating from our good neighbor to the south. Also hearing many of the other usual pre‐sunrise north/west Mexicans up to 870 XETAR. [Hauser‐ OK] 690 MEXICO XEN México, DF JAN 15 1201 ‐ Under CKGM; choral national anthem. [Conti‐ NH] 690 MEXICO XEMA La Mejor Zacatecas, Frisnillo, Zac. JAN 22 1200 ‐ Man with “La Mejor” slogan, anthem from 1202. XEN usually dominates here. [Krueger‐FL] 770 MEXICO XEACH Monterrey, NL JAN 23 0438 ‐ “Desde todo el equipo de Luces de la Ciudad” birthday greetings; on to actividades “en el sector chino de nuestra ciudad” for Chinese New Year imminent, also mentions Zona Rosa (which I suppose exist elsewhere than the DF), boletos disponibles. Typically this would be XEACH with KKOB easily nulled. This is during the local‐content cutaway from ‘La Hora Nacional’ aprovechado by many stations, but they seem to think “nuestra ciudad” is sufficient identification. There might be same programming on 570, 630, 900, 990, 1050, 1140, but no exact matches. [Hauser‐OK] 780 VENEZUELA YVMN R.Coro, Coro JAN 27 0400 ‐ Under/over WBBM; choral national anthem. [Conti‐NH] 870 MEXICO XETAR Guachochi, Chih. JAN 22 1335 ‐ Announcements in Spanish, occasional call letter ID’s and “La Voz de la Sierra Tarahumara” slogans. Fair, with high local noise level. [Wilkins‐CO] 1020 CUBA R.Artemisa, Bahía Honda JAN 21 1116 ‐ Cuban folk songs, female DJ, very good with weak R.Reloj under. Parallel 770 and out‐of‐control wobbling 1000 kHz. [Krueger‐FL] 1050 CUBA R.Victoria, Las Tunas JAN 21 1107 ‐ Female DJ, old Cuban vocals, ID. Very good. [Krueger‐FL] 1060 CUBA Radio 26, Jovellanos JAN 27 1100 ‐ Under KYW; canned ID with piano instrumental theme, “Radio 26...” [Conti‐NH] 1080 CUBA R.Cadena Habana/R.Ciudad de la Habana, La Habana‐Villa María JAN 27 1100 ‐ Under WTIC; choral national anthem, not parallel 1140 R.Surco, so presume R.Cadena Habana. [Conti‐ NH] 1080 CUBA R.Surco, Ciego de Avila JAN 14 0600 ‐ Under WTIC; canned ID parallel 1140 kHz. [Conti‐NH] JAN 21 1100 ‐ Male, then about five seconds of the national anthem abruptly cut, ID, fill music. Parallel 1140 kHz. R.Cadena Habana dominant atop. Coming out of an overnight relay (R.Progreso?) with bad cut‐over at anthem time? [Krueger‐FL] 15 1110 CUBA R.Angulo, Holguín JAN 21 1043 ‐ Female with local events talk, music fills. Some WBT co‐channel. [Krueger‐FL] 1140 CUBA R.Surco, Morón JAN 27 1100 ‐ Over/under WRVA; canned ID, “Transmite CMIP Radio Surco...” [Conti‐NH] 1150 CUBA R.Bayamo, Bueycito JAN 27 1101 ‐ Over/under WMRD; chimes and six bells marking the hour, parallel 1620 which was also running a minute late. [Conti‐NH] 1300 MEXICO XEP Cd. Juarez, Chih. JAN 7 1300 ‐ National anthem, followed by ID at 1302: “Escucha XEP 1300 AM Radio Mexicana, cuarenta mil wats de potencia...,” followed by address (per WRTH); music ensued at 1303. Generally fair signal, besting nearby KCSF, as it often does. [Wilkins‐CO] 1540 BAHAMAS ZNS1 Nassau JAN 27 1100 ‐ Loud hets from spurs at 1521 and 1559 kHz; only WDCD and CHIN heard on 1540 kHz. [Conti‐NH]

TRANS‐PACIFIC DX 1566 SOUTH KOREA JAN 14 1345 ‐ I tune in too late for the beam switch from HLAZ, FEBC Jeju, Korea South, but still get a hefty JBA carrier looping northwest, and even detectable still at 1357. It must have been even stronger before 1345. I bet my neighbor Richard N. Allen near Perry OK had it much better? “There was a sudden, but brief, barely audible trace on 1566 at local sunrise (1341),” he reports to IRCA for January 14. A complete 9‐kHz bandscan after 1345 found nothing else, not even 1098 Marshalls which RNA had best yet. JAN 19 1331 ‐ Detecting the HLAZ/FEBC Jeju carrier from the northwest, I’m standing by from 1343 for the cutoff antenna change from Japan beam, which I do perceive at 1344:30. It comes back on in a few seconds with weaker signal toward China, but I don’t need to hear that. [Hauser‐ OK] Transpacific carrier search JAN 19 1327‐1331 ‐ 774, 792, 1098, and 1566 kHz.

Long Beach Island DXPedition #15 – November 3‐5, 2016 Via Russ Edmunds

The 15th annual Long Beach Island DXpedition took place in Ship Bottom, NJ November 3‐5, 2016. Conditions were moderately auroral, although a few TA’s did sneak through. The result was many new loggings from Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela and Nicaragua as well as numerous new domestics. These conditions also enabled us to add Ecuador to our list of countries heard. We also welcomed a new member of the crew, Doug Maset of Newburgh, NY. For this year, owing to the prior year’s experiences with the final reconfiguration of the beach in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, we moved our headquarters from the middle of the building on the beach to the South end. This provided us with corner rooms which in turn had less electrical noise and easier access to the areas where we could place our antennas. As a result of greater use of SDR’s, we had a larger number of loggings than we have had in any prior year, but that comes with the side effect of taking longer to compile a group log. As always, regardless of the conditions, the act of getting together to DX and talk about DX remains the highlight of the weekend.

Here is American Hockey League (AHL) radio information for the 2016/7 season. I found no evidence of any network, except for the Hershey Bears; I have included that network list in‐line. For a few teams, I found the name of the play‐by‐play announcer but could not find the call letters of the station; maybe these are Internet‐only broadcasts. Some teams have their games only on AHLlive.com, Tunein.com, or mixlr.com.

Via Ron Schiller: http://www.pe.com/articles/station‐823662‐public‐radio.html High hopes for low‐power radio stations Several are heard in the Inland area, including Anza Valley’s KOYT, celebrating its first year. Gail Wesson, Press Enterprise (Riverside CA), Jan. 20, 2017 Those who tuned in to KOYT radio in the Anza Valley on Christmas Eve could hear Merrie Kraatz read the classic “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” poem. Listen to 96.3 FM around Valentine’s Day and one might hear Kraatz reciting love sonnets, if she has her way. 27 Welcome to low‐power radio stations, Anza Valley style. The station, which has a signal that reaches about a 10‐mile radius, will mark its first broadcasting anniversary next month, among the newest on radio waves in the area. Traveling around Riverside County, a motorist may catch other examples of low‐power stations, from the nearly 30‐year‐old WNKI 578 AM public service station in Idyllwild to the youth‐oriented JENNiRADIO at 101.7 FM in Lake Elsinore to the Morongo Band of Mission Indians’ public safety and emergency channel at 89.1 FM. Up in Anza on a recent evening, Kraatz, who has some past theater experience, was recording public service announcements for the station. Volunteer James “Jimmy” Hilzman, who has a background in audio technology and music recording, will edit the recording, maybe add sound and get it ready for broadcast. “I thought it would be great for Anza” as a small town, said Bud Elmore, vice president of nonprofit Anza Community Broadcasting, of bringing radio to the area east of Temecula. The nonprofit Anza Civic Improvement League was issued the license as the broadcast group got its start, soliciting volunteers to help and raise money, including through rummage sales and events like a recent dance. President Erinne Roscoe heard about the station through her mechanic – Elmore – and was interested in broadcasting. She hosts programs ranging from a botanist talking about plants to a fisherman giving the fishing report. Volunteers assemble music programming by theme, including country Western and rock. “They like the mix of music,” Roscoe said she has heard from listeners. Programming is recorded in advance. For live programming, Elmore said the station would need an on‐duty radio engineer. The station is hooked into the Emergency Alert System. “We (wanted) to get this set up with minimal hassle,” said Hilzman, who trains volunteers. In the long run, the station may provide a chance for Hamilton School kids to get some hands‐on broadcast experience, he said. In Lake Elsinore, JENNiRADIO began airing in June 2015 from Jennifer Smart’s family home, with support from her parents. The UCLA student’s radio experience dates back more than a decade. She offers an eclectic mix of interviews, reviews and entertainment. Up in the San Jacinto Mountains, “We’re not allowed to broadcast any music or advertising,” said Bill Tell, the WNKI station director. The type of license the station holds is “purely for the traveling public and public safety,” he said, and provides recorded area information. The nonprofit Idyllwild Mile High Radio Club operates the station in cooperation with the Idyllwild Fire Protection District. With grant funding, the station is upgrading equipment to make it easier to program, Tell said. Public safety agencies may offer recorded messages in the future. In 2013, the station aired timely evacuation orders and other messages during the Mountain and Silver wildland fires. Down in the San Gorgonio Pass, the low‐power station on the Morongo Reservation has been on air for five years. “This system allows the tribe to share vital information during an emergency incident that may have disabled other methods of communication, such as our website,” Floyd Velasquez, Morongo disaster preparedness manager, wrote in an email. On Friday, the radio station broadcast was an integral part of a Morongo tribal earthquake evacuation drill. More than 135 students, the Morongo tribal administration departments, tribal public safety services, off‐reservation public safety agencies in the region and the state Office of Emergency Services participated.
