UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 1580: following Saturday July 31 capture between 13 and
14 UT of ``La Zona`` in Spanish, I tried equally hard to hear it on Sunday
August 1 during the same hour: no sign of Spanish talk or Mexican music. This
is *very* strange --- as if the Spanish station is on the air only on Saturday
mornings.
What I did hear, under the open carrier from KOKB Blackwell OK: 1240 UT, only
English station(s). 1300 KHGG Van Buren-Ft Smith AR dominant with ID. 1312 Fox
Sports Radio call-in with 877 number, presumably KHGG mixing with something
else in English; Auto-Zone ad. 1327, still no Spanish. 1330, Ft Smith cuts away
from sports for gospel huxter, ``Searching the Scriptures``, I think. Still
some CCI, probably KREL Colorado, no Spanish. 1347 preacher mixing with some
music, also religious? No Spanish, nor by 1400.
As for my previous comment about 1580 applications in New Mexico, on the NRC-AM
list, tnx to Evan R. Newlon who replied, ``Glenn, I'm in Albuquerque - 1580 is
silent here, 1900Z, 1 pm MDT. You are right, there used to be a station on
1580, I don't know where it went. I should be able to hear the station if it is
in Santa Fe, but frequency is inactive right now. WB5HAM, Evan``.
And to Doug Smith, W9WI, who replied: ``The 1580 station in Albuquerque moved
to 1600 in February 2000 (as Glenn alludes to). There is one open application
for 1580 in Santa Fe (another one has been marked "Ineligible", haven't seen
that before. I presume that means the FCC determined the applicant was not
eligible to hold a broadcast license -- not a citizen? An application for 1580
in Roswell, NM has been dismissed.)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
