** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Mar 20 at 2255, WRMI with IS & ID loop
preceding `top of hour` programming; which at 2300 turns out to be RAE

Many thanks this week to Gerald T Pollard, Raleigh NC, for a generous
seasonal check marking Vernal Equinox to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684,
Enid OK 73702.
One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1070, March 20 at 1258 UT, sportstalk, WDIA ID in passing,
mywdia.com -- it`s U4 50/5 kW in Memphis TN. Night pattern has very
tight major lobe southward, very little thisaway toward KNX, but day
pattern is oval favoring N/S, yet plenty sideways too. Another bonus
from the silence of Wichita. Today`s real sunrise there was 1204 UT,
as to be expected on the Vernal close to 90 degrees west; so should be
legally on day pattern now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1090, March 20 at 0636 UT, L&C RCC talk, call-in discussing
Martin Luther, who was hard to get along with, tsk2. This signal is
totally unusual; 1090 at night has nothing but weak mixes, but this
sounds like a major 50 kW clear-channel station. 0655 closing the
show, from EWTN. Yes, as I suspected, its KEXS Excelsior Springs MO
[Kansas City], a 10 kW D4 DAYTIMER! With illegal ops like this, who
needs SW 15610? Not unusual to hear it just before sunset. Day pattern
is ovalish favoring the SW toward Wichita and me from site NE of KC,
definitely inside MO:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KEXS&service=AM&h=D
D4 means it also has a ``critical hours`` power of 4 kW with a
different pattern but very similar, anyhow well beyond CH in the
nightmiddle. Next check at 1256 UT, also well audible, mentioning
Catholic Radio Network. I`ve yet to definitely hear KAAY Little Rock
on 1090 since its degradation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 969.935 approx., March 20 at 0652 UT, low audible het
against 970.00 signals. Yes, the TV set is off, so this may be real,
but nothing that far off in mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 2322 UT March 20
