Re: " UNIDENTIFIED. 1360, Aug 20 at 0633 UT, Mexmx, and LAH not
necessarily
same station. Besides far-offers in NJ ad WA, New NRC AM Log shows

Hurst TX. New IRCA Mexican Log shows three CPs and one active on 1360,
XEZON, Zongolica, Veracruz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)"
``You can eliminate XEZON. They are a typical INPI operation, only
broadcasting from 6am to 6pm local time, so they would not be on the
air at 0633 UT. If you go to their web stream outside of those hours,
you should expect to hear a generic feed of INPI programming, which
sometimes includes programs recently produced by individual INPI
stations, including their IDs. This is tricky for us western DXers who
might be listening around 6am. If you access an INPI station's web
stream before 6am, you'll get the generic INPI feed, and it does not
automatically switch you to the individual station's actual
over-the-air programming when the station signs on around 6am. If you
refresh the browser page right after 6am you'll suddenly get the real
local feed. {INPI = Instituto Nacional de los Pueblos Ind?genas} 73

** OKLAHOMA. KCRC marks 100 years as radio station
Kevin Hassler | Enid News & Eagle Aug 19, 2026
https://www.enidnews.com/news/kcrc-marks-100-years-as-radio-station/article_5ca73fb8-f871-4572-b344-e132b7306179.html
ENID, Okla. ? Chisholm Trail Broadcasting marked the 100th anniversary
of KCRC as a radio station during a ceremony Wednesday, Aug. 19,
2026.
KCRC, 1390 AM, was licensed on Aug. 19, 1926, and is ?the
fourth-oldest currently continuously operating radio station in the
state,? said Bill Hurley, president and chief operating officer of
Chisholm Trail Broadcasting.
Only two stations in Oklahoma City and one in Tulsa have been in
operation longer, he said.
?I?ve been in radio management for a better part of almost five
decades, and radio is still ? when it?s live and local, and we are
local with all these stations ? it makes a difference,? Hurley said.
?Locally programmed, local people, local sales.?
Going on the air in 1926 also makes KCRC one of the oldest radio
stations in the country. KDKA in Pittsburgh was the first commercially
licensed station?s in 1920, Hurley said.
?Radio stations continue to defy all odds,? he said. ?I mean, I?ve
been in this long enough, when FM was going to kill AM, when cable was
going to kill FM, when satellite was going to kill radio, you just go
down the list. There?s actually more people listening to radio at
least once a week in the United States now than there was in 1970.?
KCRC started as KGCB and was operated by the Wallace Radio Institute
in Oklahoma City. It was purchased in August 1929 by the Champlin
Refining Company, and the call sign was changed to KCRC ? in tribute
to the new owners ? and the station moved to Enid.
KCRC was a charter member of the Oklahoma Network, which was formed in
the 1930s. The station was purchased by Enid Publishing Co. in 1931.
Chisholm Trail Broadcasting, owned by Hiram Champlin, bought the
station in 1983.
Greater Enid Chamber of Commerce leaders and ambassadors was on hand
at the CTB studios Wednesday, as were other city leaders and members
of the public.
Chamber ambassadors conducted a ceremonial ribbon cutting, and Mayor
David Mason read a proclamation marking the anniversary.
?That?s what makes Enid?s heritage so rich, is that we have so many
companies and families that have been around for so long,? Mason said.
?So, it?s truly a treasure to us, and we are just so happy to be here
and celebrate this 100 years.?
Champlin spoke at the end of the ceremony.
?I just want to say thank you for the recognition of all the hard work
the staff does for our community,? Champlin said. ?This is homegrown
and home-run, and you know you can walk in any time and let us know
how you feel.? (via gh, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 96.5, Aug 21 at 1942 UT as I turn on the caradio left
tuned to 96.5, surprised to hear Spanish! Es MUF is not into FM band.
Soon ad for Supermercado Morelos, with precios en libras, so a US
station, and then mentions Oclajoma! Normally all I hear are fringers
from KECO Elk City and Mix96 Tulsa, but as in WTFDA FMDB this is
translator K243BJ of KRXO-FM HD3 from 107.7, ``Ritmo 96.5``, 250 watts
at 302 meters. Last logged July 29. Would not have expected any tropo
boost from OKC translator on a hot summer afternoon (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Fri Aug 21 at 2357 into NH SDR:
All 4 frequencies are on already with FKB so it`ll not be a repeat:

S8/9+10. 2359 beep one-minute warning to wrap up, but he never
finishes quite in time. UT Sat Aug 22: 0000 ID, ``There you go``, `Wm
Tell Overture` theme, ``Phew!``, talkovers, ``hmmm, yes... ladies &
gentlemen, this radio thing direct to you``and ``table``. Angela is on
phone from Fla and participates. Allan remarx he can`t get a word in
edgewise. Says he has been ``moving heavy iron around`` past 3 or 4
days. ``Only two of us left can do real transmitter work, me and
TimTron``. The US will be completely communist in 50 years -- let them
have Mars. We still use vacuum tubes - people don`t know what those
are. Learning to drive standard transmission is a way to prevent
dementia; also listening to music. 0016 is at master control, a
``living operating museum``. Explains how the entire towers are the
antennas of MW stations, or rather half, the other half being radial
wires buried in the ground. Says he installed 120 of them of 400 ft
each around WXME 780, which also has FM xltr on 98.3. Since
wavelengths are much shorter, FM antennas are mounted atop towers and
are much smaller. 0036 datestamp as 21 August YOOLF 2026. Thinx
WBCQ/WXME/WBCQ-FM is the only private combo AM/FM/SW station anywhere.
0042 a song . 0046 finally mentions quadricasting on 3265, 5130, 6160,
7490. 0053 email; remarx that 9330 should be back on air soon. 3265
will definitely become a timesignal station, as a public service due
to destruxion of CHU, also for propagation research. Cooperating with
the TIMENUTS group and with HamSci. Might be more accurate than WWV.
Well, it certainly won`t qualify as a standard frequency at +190 Hz
off! There are toxins in something, I missed what. 0059 prayer, 0100
to Hal Turner (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5990-6000, Aug 21 at 0624 UT, the ``rough noise`` again
I have been hearing only around this time when 5995 MALI used to be on
and propagating, S9+20 and not DRM. Is it Malifunxioning? (Glenn
