These logs are in four sections, Canada [if any], Oklahoma [if any], rest of
USA [if any], unidentified [if any], separated by ======= Within each, they are
in frequency order
** OKLAHOMA. 1000, May 4 at 0446 UT, KTOK OKC with Dodgers baseball
play-by-play, and not the OKC farmteam, because an ad for Southern California
Toyotathon is then inserted, in the bottom of the eighth, just before midnight
here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
===========
** U S A. 690, May 4 at 0556 UT, one minute of Fox News Radio, ``Mighty 690,
KGGF, Coffeyvile KS`` ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 810, May 1 at 0417 UT, ``810KLVZ.com`` so Brighton CO station is back
on the air. As of 2016 NRC AM Log in August, said it was silent as of 4/2016.
But in DXLD 16-45: ``AM Log Updates: 810, KLVZ, CO, Brighton – Format to NOS
(ex - Silent); slogan to "Legends 810/94.3," adds // K232FK - 94.3 (John
Wilkins, NRC DX News Nov 14 published Nov 6 via DXLD)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1020, May 4 at 0446 UT, KCKN Roswell NM in Spanish sermon from WWRV
1330 NYC is S9+30, blowing away semi-local KOKP Perry OK.
Jerry Kiefer, FL, who used to be with KCKN, replied to my previous log of April
28: ``Greetings Glenn, Quick comment on KCKN. They might be running non
directional at the moment. The night pattern throws 40 watts in your direction
and the day pattern less than 500. Either could be screwed up. Not being in the
loop anymore that's the only thing I can offer. Take care``
This signal is no 500 or 40 watts. How about 50,000, ND? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1070, May 1 at 0422 UT, KNX with IBOC noise circa 1057 & 1083, 0425
UT traffic on the fives at 9:25 timecheck. Not unusual here with Wichita
nulled, and thus its IBOC is more of a factor than that from 1080 KRLD.
1147 & 1173, May 1 at 0426 UT, IBOC noise from KSL. I haven`t noticed any from
1170 KFAQ in quite a while, which would give KSL a take-that from 1157 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1240.20, May 1 at 0427 UT, quite a het against the 1240.0 pileup,
presumably KCRT Trinidad CO, reported on 1240.19, as of March 20, 2015 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1479.967, April 29 at 0537 UT, 1-kHz step bandscan with BFO finds
sore-thumb off-frequency carrier here; 0610 UT ad in English with a
972-904-#### phone number, and covering ``from North Texas north to Oklahoma
City``. So KBXD Dallas not with Namaste at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1480, May 4 at 1208 UT, song in Spanish about María with various
rhymes such as fría; after a ``Tally-ho!`` as in Bollywood, 1211 UT English
announcement, paraphrased, ``KBXD, 50,000 watts covering North Texas and as far
as Oklahoma City to the north, Waco to the south. If you would like to rent
this station, please call John Hammond, 972-904-5904``. Same music resumes in a
loop, 1216 UT same announcement again.
So Radio Namaste is gone. Wonder why they couldn`t make it? Rather enjoyed
their music and Hinglish chat. I question how much of a signal they put into
OKC on daytime groundwave when really 50 kW. This daytime coverage map
http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/patg?id=KBXD-AM&h=D
has OKC just inside its outer ``fringe`` contour, whatever that amount to.
Night map of only 1900 watts shows a deep notch toward OKC and five others in a
``flower`` pattern; you couldn`t even hear it in Plano
http://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/patg?id=KBXD-AM&h=N
Radio locator also claims its format is still gospel music! This time no
off-frequency het with KQAM Wichita, closer to 1480.00 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1530, May 4 at 0600 UT, WCKY in dead air interrupted by bits of
Brother Scare who was already on the previous hour; finally 0604 UT cuts back
on without breaking up. Meanwhile I could hear an understation in Spanish,
probably KGBT among several other possibilities (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1590, May 4 at 0558 UT, Bing Crosby song, 0600 UT ``WAIK, Galesburg
IL`` ID and back to another oldsong. NRC AM Log 2016-2017 had it as
NWS/TLK/SPT, 5000/55 watts U4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1700, April 29 at 0541 UT, I am paying more attention to the Spanish
here from KKLF Richardson (Metroplex) TX. Slogan ID as Banda Trece plus
información y deportes, but plays music, in fact a rock song in English! 0546
UT another ID, then Spanish romantic song. 0553 UT after an ad, I clearly copy
non-ID as ``Banda 13, música, información y deportes``. So why isn`t it ``Banda
Diez y Siete``?? Where does the 13 come from? Arctic Radio Club DXers were
reporting this latest slogan change over a month ago, along with a verie
displaying the logo.
NRC AM Log 2016-2017 had it as `Super Estelar`, Tejano format, with an address
in faraway Corpus Christi. Radio-Locator currently shows even more outdated
``Kick 1700`` name. And ``no website``. O yes, there is, as a simple search
reveals: Banda Trece is a ``network`` which came to 1700 at the New Year.
http://www.banda13radionetwork.com/
``Frecuencia Deportiva con Xavier Olalde is now officially on Banda 13. After
broadcasting to the local Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, San Francisco and Miami
markets, Xavier Olalde will have his show on Banda 13 Radio. The most popular
Spanish morning sports show, Frecuencia Deportiva con Xavier Olalde, will air
on Banda13.net weekdays from 7-9a Central Time. Along with the show, Banda 13
Radio will have programming for more Spanish sports shows, followed by music in
the afternoon online at www.banda13.net or on 1700AM in the Dallas Fort Worth
region, starting late November.
Frecuencia Deportiva con Xavier Olalde
Monday-Friday 7-9a (CT)
http://banda13.net
Banda 13 Radio``
This still doesn`t explain where the 13 comes from, maybe approx. frequency of
station in one of the other markets?? Various logos imply that the name applies
only to this 1700 station, so the 13 may not allude to a frequency at all.
Could be it`s of some sporting significance to the SS.
More about station`s history of format and ownership changes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KKLF
Not including Super Estelar; and ``Banda 13`` still unexplained. {It does say
the KKLF calls originally were to duplicate 570 KLIF} (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD
OF RADIO 1876, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
