DX test from KEVT 1210 Sahuarita AZ, which according to Paul Lotsof is about to
close down, go out of business so the CE would be running 10 kW non-direxional
day pattern UT July 17 at 0500-0700. Paul Walker found out that there would be
sweep tones, helpful for DX IDing on the hourtops, July 17 and again on its
final final night 48 hours later.
Missed checking at 0500 July 17 as I was still TVDXing Kansas, but tried 1210
from 0511 --- fortunately, no sign of KGYN Guymon OK, which must have axually
been on its own night pattern, null-ENE! WPHT Philadelphia was dominant with
Midnight Radio Network talk in English, and too close to collinear with AZ to
null from here on the DX-398, but tropical music audible underneath it. Equally
big problem is WOAI IBOC peaking at 1213, so better tuning down to 1209 kHz. At
0517, overblown Spanish announcement, no ID heard yet, as Philadelphia fades,
then norteña music. 0520, got it! KEVT`s ``La Raza`` slogan and ``grupera``
which must be the proper term for its format. 0521 WPHT regains ascendancy with
Nationwide ad (Glenn Hauser, of another Raza, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
