I was tuned to 1330 this morning at 7;50am CST and I heard the usual KVOL in
Lafayette LA and KNSS Wichita KS. There was this country station with many
mentions of downtown Roswell and using slogans of "Kickin Country". Checking
all the usual reference guides nothing matched. Around 08:20am nice clear ID
for KCKM in Monahans, TX. The NRC Log shows this as silent. I call the number
listed in the Log and spoke with a friendly gentlemen at length. I told him I
was listening here in Cedar Creek, Texas. He was surprised I heard their
station. He asked me what frequency am I listening to? He went on to say 1020
in Roswell NM KCKN is relay by KCKM 7am to 10am 7 day a week. I told him I was
tuned to 1330 khz and coming in pretty well. The station was purchased in Feb
2007 by the new owner and after a lot of work they began testing August 8th
2007. Offically they signed on August 17th 2007.
Well guys, make the required adjustments to your logs, so here is another to
look out for after being silent. They are Country with "Kickin Country" slogan.
Thanks
