From Minnesota! I noticed the online sked had been updated as well. I
heard them on that frequency Sept 23 at 0500z sign on. You may have

Stillwater; normal with rock music, local ads, Pete 94.3 ID, until
chopped off the air at 2215* without any good-bye, sign-off, or
please-retune announcement. KSPI obviously shows no respect for any
listeners on AM. I wonder whether the FCC care if a daytimer station
arbitrarily reduce schedule even more? Ha, some other licensee should
be entitled to 780 until real sunset (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1550 kHz, Sept 23 at 0708 UT, mentions 106.5. No hits in
NRC AM Log! Only hit in WTFDA FMDB is KXTO, Union Mills CA on K293CP,
R. Vida, but this was in English. KXTO itself is in Reno NV. Otherwise
would expect one of my closests in MO, OK, KS or TX. Broad search on
the two frequencies leads to Wikipedia: ``KOSL (1550 AM) is a radio
station that broadcasts a {sic} Oldies format. Licensed to West Valley
City, Utah, United States, on KQOL 106.5, as well`` -- but this may
not be current. KQOL now applies to a 105.3 in WY (Glenn Hauser, OK,
