My trip log August 23-31 thru NW OK, NE NM, back thru TX and OK. Referencing the FM Atlas XXI, NRC AM Log, FCC Query info:
In four sexions: FM, AM, TIS/HAR, and TV, then chrono order each, all times and dates strictly UT, u.o.s.: FM: Travelling west on US 412 from Enid OK to Clayton NM, Aug 23-24: 92.1, something in Spanish east of Woodward, assumed KMZE there, but FMA has it as rock format, nothing about Spanish. It`s only 2.2 kW, not one of those full-powers on an ex-Class A 3 kW-limit channel. Surely we are too far from Enid`s LPFM KAMG on 92.1 which is Spanish religion. Next check around 2215 UT, however, 92.1 was in English with sportstalk. Both KMZE?? 89.5, KTOT Spearman TX, the full-power High Plains Public Radio relay (of KANZ 91.1 Garden City KS) was already heard well at Mooreland OK east of Woodward, where KGOU will soon put on its own relay on 88.1. KTOT had NPR ATC at 2215 UT. 97.9, KGNC-FM 97.9 Amarillo TX reaching east of Woodward with channel 7 weather at 2227. Checking FM Atlas maps for Mooreland: 107.9 nothing; 104.5 something weak, not local. 89.1 with gospel rock, i.e. satellator of KEFX 88.9 Twin Falls ID; real call K206CI. FM Atlas map for Woodward: all frequencies active except 88.1. 95.9, at 2300 surprised to hear NPR ATC. It`s another relay of KCCU Lawton on the air since the last time I went thru, KZCU, never heard in Enid due to KXLS 95.7. FMA says KZCU wants to move to Balko OK, which is considerably to the west in the eastern panhandle. (I assume this is because KGOU relay is pending on 88.1 and KZCU relay will then fill an area more in need of it.) But what is its real transmitter site? 95.9 was still good at the US 283 junxion S of Laverne, but losing it toward Balko, and inaudible by the time we passed thru there at 2354. FCC shows site is on the other side of Woodward to its ESE: http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/FMTV-service-area?x=FM542962.html and there is no application or CP to move it to Balko. What KCCU really needs to do is get us a desperately needed local public radio transmitter in Enid, even if it`s only a translator. 91.9, approaching the OK panhandle and Beaver county, at 2328, ``Gospel Greats`` program, 2330 multi-station ID starting with KPDR in Wheeler TX, including one in Amarillo, but none with 91.9 frequency. Closest listee in OK on 91.9 is KLXO in Beaver; FMA says only 1000 watts, horizontal only, and 15m HAAT. Unfortunately, neither reference makes it easy to tell what stations are related in a regional group or network, which is extremely important, determining programming and what is // to what. By 2355 as we are going thru Balko, closer to Beaver, 91.9 is indeed stronger with ``Gospel Greats``, and ID as the ``Kingdom Keys Network``, ad for pregnancy center (= anti-abortion) in Amarillo, which has a 3-minute program at some other time of day. However, I now think this 91.9 was the KPDR translator in Perryton TX nearby right across the border, K220IZ. Details on KKN here: http://www.kingdomkeysradio.org/ including 4 main stations and several translators. I think KPDR in Wheeler was the original, later adding the much bigger market Amarillo; so does it now originate in Amarillo? P O Box mailing address is there, and a map puts office near I-27 in SW Amarillo. 90.1, E of Guymon with KJIL ID et al., including KNGM in Guymon, also heard on 88.9 direct with 25 kW. KJIL, a gospel huxter based in Kansas has lots of relays and translators also in CO, OK and TX. This 90.1 would also be in Perryton TX, K211CF. 91.1, E of Bryan`s Corner OK, the US 83 junxion at 2359 with NPR, i.e. HPPR direct from KANZ Garden City, still stronger than its relay in Guymon KGUY 91.3 which is starting to show. 92.7, KKBS Guymon OK, at 0002 UT Aug 24, ``still local with more power`` also on 101.5 in Liberal KS; hard rock. Also saw billboard to this effect. 92.7 is 11 kW while KSMM on 101.5 is 100 kW ERP. 99.1, with Bible story, at 0006 // 88.9 and 90.1, therefore the original KJIL, 100 kW in Copeland KS. 106.1, KENW translator is still here from high atop Sierra Grande, COL Des Moines NM, and audible already west of Boise City OK on SH 325 at 1750 UT Aug 24. KENW, the public radio station from ENMU in Portales, with a beautiful-music format in the daytime, classical at night, plans to replace 106.1 with a higher-power 3 kW non-translator at same site on 88.5, KENU which will be impervious to being bumped off, but not heard yet. 93.5 is another KENW translator in the town of Clayton NM, but much lower power and tower, not audible until close-in, and in W OK, still getting something else on 93.5, probably KLMR in Lamar CO. 93.7, at 1846 on NM 406 at Moses NM, Spanish and English PSAs, and ID as Magic 93.7, Lubbock weather in English. FMA has this as KXTQ in Spanish with latin format. 105.3, KHOD, also on Sierra Grande, with COL Des Moines, but main (only?) studio in Ratón, which has been hit by FCC fines for flauting the rules. I never got around to tuning in, but saw its office still in Ratón next to the classic El Portal Hotel, where we were looking forward to staying again, but in the last two years it had a fire and is now closed. We couldn`t see much fire damage from the outside, altho the some of the windows were boarded up. It had quite a collexion of antiques in the lobby, and artwork around the hallways, some of which we are glad to have photographed in case they succumbed to the fire. Faulty electrical wiring allegedly caused it, and we are not that surprised. 90.5, new frequency of the KUNM Albuquerque translator for Eagle Nest, makes it almost to Ratón on US 64, no longer clashing with the KRCC Colorado Springs translator in Ratón on 91.1. Or is it still on? KRCC site http://www.krcc.org/about/index_stats.html does not list it, but instead 91.7 serving Trinidad CO and Ratón NM, which is really KCCS, not a translator, from Starkville CO. In the Moreno Valley around Angelfire NM (no relation to one of our websites), we could get some Albuquerque stations direct from Sandía Crest, including KANW 89.1 and KUNM 89.9. KUNM also via 90.5 Eagle Nest and 91.9 from somewhere: Taos is closest but low power and low tower on other side of mountains; Las Vegas also low power and further; Española maybe with 5.9 kW and a respectable 161.5 m AAT. Altho we had not noticed it before, 91.7 had KRCC into Moreno, i.e. KCCS as mentioned above, jazz and KRCC ID at 1843 UT. On the US 64 road from Angelfire to Taos we were also getting KHFM 95.5 which is not really in Albuquerque and KSFR 101.1, not really in Santa Fe. While in Santa Fe we enjoyed a talk by Jim Hightower at a local bookstore as a fundraiser for KSFR. Among many other non-DX events. Before leaving Santa Fe we looked for RDS displays on the DX-398 from ABQ/SF. Several stations with no RDS are omitted. Despite pegging signals, several of them were slow to display the RDS after the RDS icon appeared, and almost thought they were transmitted blank. 89.9, NPR_____ static; also barely visible via 91.9 Española 92.3, 92.3KRST alternating with COUNTRY 93.3, _KOB-FM_ (with a space on each side, here indicated by underscore, but plain space on the display), alternating with song info, and phone number 669-1010, for requests? 94.1, WWW.94RO / ROCK.COM alternating, overlapping fields 96.3, 96.3 / THE_MOUN / IN was all I saw, presumably meaning MOUNTAIN, scrolling to left 97.3, KISS_973_ scrolling left, one letter at a time 99.5, MAGIC_FM static = continuous 100.3, 100.3 / THE_PEAK 102.5, KIOT102.5 scrolling left alt song info, like IRON MAN 105.1, LA JEFA scrolling left alt song info, like AMANTES ESCONDIDOS 107.9, 107.9 / BIG I alternating, song info like SMILE A strange thing as I was stepping up frequency from 89.9 KUNM --- on 90.1 the RDS window showed SANGEANA. Never noticed this before in OK or anywhere else, but must be an internal receiver-generated thingie. Back in Enid I see it is still doing that when listening to KCSC 90.1. One can also set up any display on any frequency, but I am sure I never did that on this Radio Shack DX-398 clone, not Sangean ATS-909. 91.1, KEDP Las Vegas, student station at NM Highlands University, presumed as just heard rock music, audible around Bernal exit of I-25, but it has some CCI as close to LV as the US 84 exit. Nothing very likely, but maybe medium power stations in Clovis or Belén. Wish I had time to find whoever at NMHU is responsible for all the FM CPs they have around the state, and what their programming plans are. Eager to revisit my old home town of Santa Rosa, and check out its radio scene. 95.9 KSSR used to become audible on I-40 only within a few miles of SR, obviously lower power than listed from its favorable spot on the ridge east side of town. Glad I started checking soon after passing Apache Springs on US 84 from Las Vegas, at 1732 August 30, as KSSR was already inbooming. Now it`s 50 kW ERP and covers Guadalupe county and beyond, later heard almost to Tucumcari eastward. Altho FCC listing at http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?list=0&facid=84190 still shows licensed for 1.5 kW, only a CP for 50 kW. It now merits a blue highway sign at the Guadalupe county line advising us to tune to 95.9 for weather info, or http://www.kssrradio.com The website even has a listen live button: mms://74.50.132.142:959/ --- but not working when I checked. At 1744 heard the ``KSSR Morning Show``, ID ``95.9 The Lion`` complete with roar. (Lions are the local highschool teams), mentioned wind turbines north of Pastura. KSSR-FM is certainly not all-Spanish as shown by FM Atlas XXI, which also still lists 95.9 as KKJY, but FCC shows callsign history with begin dates: KSSR-FM 07/13/2010 KKJY 03/03/2009 KIVA 10/29/2002 KRSR 11/21/1997 KAWP 08/01/1997 It`s pretty clear that KSSR has given up on AM 1340, but it`s still licensed per FCC: http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=29504 We visited the site and took some photos. The original KSSR building next door to the car museum has been refurbished with new siding, and now looks more like a residence. Beyond the tower and transmitter site to the east is the new KSSR building, both quite small. http://www.w4uvh.net/kssr1.jpg http://www.w4uvh.net/kssr2.jpg http://www.w4uvh.net/kssr3.jpg http://www.w4uvh.net/kssr4.jpg http://www.w4uvh.net/kssr5.jpg Besides KNLK on 91.9, which carries almost to Puerto de Luna, the ex-translator of KANW 89.1 Albuquerque, the only other SR station on air is 103.1 LPFM carrying EWTN from Birmingham (English; any Spanish at all?), KSRL-LP. At 2249 it was radiating dead air for a while. While there we also tried to hear 88.7 from Encino, which is west of Vaughn on US 285. FMA shows a KXNM there with 40 kW, but no sign of it, nor at earlier check from another close point, US 84 junxion with I-40 west of SR. FCC shows it as a CP owned by Torrance County from a site WNW of Encino. So unlikely gospel huxter; to be a community/county radio station? Only weak signals audible in SR on 94.7 and 107.1, surely not the local translators listed of KFLQ and KBAC. Other media news from Santa Rosa: since last we visited, the Santa Rosa News, a weekly, went out of business. It had been in a circulation war for a number of years with an upstart, The Guadalupe County Communicator, which now represents the Santa Rosa area. We skimmed thru a few months` weekly issues in the Moise Library, and never found any mention of the radio station, unlike the SR News which had lots of ads for KSSR, nor any mention of a website; but found one incipient by Googling: http://www.guadalupecommunicator.com/ Between Santa Rosa and Tucumcari we have a KENW translator on 90.7 in Montoya, and now in Tucum itself KENM 89.3, audible by mile 298, replacing 103.9 translator. Crossing the TX panhandle: 99.7 at 0045 UT Aug 31, just into TX, Spanish music, tho FM Atlas has KBZD Amarillo as ``99.7 The Party``. Must be new format. 0100 heard ``99.7 Recuerdo`` jingle, and ID ``KBZD [only the letters pronounced in English], Amarillo, Recuerdo 99.7, una estación de Tejas Bróadcasting``. Same owner as 1010 also Spanish, and 1310. 89.5, HPPR via KTOT Spearman TX, at 1759 Aug 31 with multi-station ID including KJJP in Amarillo (they also have KTXP in Bushland on 91.5, just west of AMA). While in the double-boot city, I had failed to look for KJJP which is on 105.7. HPPR translators also were on 91.3 and 94.9 in the AMA area, but did not hear them, no longer needed? FM Atlas XXI has KJJP on 105.7 on the map and the location listing, but ex-KAEZ in the frequency listing, an FMistake. HPPR announcement before 1800 said NY Philharmonic would be ``next``, but it was not: 1801 NPR News, 1806 syndicated Julie Amacher on Classical 24. Since we were passing directly through Arnett and Vici [vigh-sigh, not wee-kee] OK on US 60, checked for the new stations in FM Atlas on 104.9, 97.7, but neither to be heard around 1811. This afternoon we wanted to hear NPR talkshows, but HPPR was in classical, so found the former on 89.1, at 1814, Talk of the Nation, already VG, tho all the way from KYCU Clinton OK, 30 kW with nominal range of 55 km. Altho we were closest to that around Seiling, gospel huxter CCI was increasing, and at 1901, there was ``United News and Information`` which admits it is a slanted religious `news` network at http://uninews.com/uni/home.html --- must be 92-watt K206CI in Mooreland, which we heard on the way out when passing thru there. By 1930 near Fairview, Jesus music has overtaken KYCU on 89.1, but now it`s probably Enid`s translator K206CA of Tulsa`s KNYD 90.5. We used to be able barely to get KYCU in Enid, mixing with another public radio, KMUW Wichita, while K206CA was silent for a few years. AM: 1440, W of Elmwood in the OK panhandle, Spanish here at 2349 UT Aug 23, with a fast SAH, maybe 15 Hz or so. We are closer to Amarillo`s KPUR, but it`s not Spanish per NRC AM Log, while KTNO in The Metroplex (COL University Park) is --- and it`s 50 kW, favorable direxionally unlike the CO and KS 1440 stations. We also get KTNO in Enid, but it takes some skywave to kick it in. 1570, had Spanish at this time, 2350, already skywave from XERF; and at 2351, 1640 with Royals baseball, i.e. KFXY from back in Enid, departing from its Faith 1640 gospel music format. 670, KLTT Commerce City/Denver CO, the 50 kW daytime gospel huxter which barely makes it to Enid on groundwave, understandably stronger in northern NM, enough to tell that it is running IBOC, messing up 660 and 680, which I thankfully can`t detect in Enid. 950, driving thru Española NM, KDCE was splattering some 50 kHz above and below, intolerable. But wait till we get to Santa Fe! 810, KSWV, is even filthier than KDCE, heavy splash 790-830, and audible as far as 900. We may have been close to the site on Cerillos Road, but it was the same all over the city, no excuse. August 30 at 1607 UT, KSWV splash was even audible on KKOB 770! We also found a number of mixing products on the caradio: 1540 and 1120, leapfrog mixes of KTRC 1260 and KVSF 1400 (the two swapped calls a few years ago). They are on the same tower. 1540 mix also impossiblizes reception of second harmonic of KKOB 770 Albuquerque which we used to get in ABQ; and the co-channel night-only relay on 770 in Santa Fe may also harmonicize, much lower power, but much shorter range. 1620, 2 x 810 KSWV, with an ad in English at the moment, 1608 UT, not 100% SS. 1710, mix of 810 and 1260, both in English, 810 being the ``AM 810 News Center``; leapfrog 450 kHz away. Maybe there is another one at 360 kHz. KSWV is not at the same site as 1260/1400. Daytime MW range on I-25 just N of Santa Fe extended to XEJUA 640 Juárez, KTSM 690 and KAMA-750 (Spanish) El Paso, KTNN 660 Window Rock, weaker KHAC 880 Window Rock. 580 Lubbock TX also has good range, heard in this area as well as in the TX and OK Panhandles, once overcoming WIBW. NRC AM Log 2010-2011 shows KRFE with only 500 watts day, AC format, but I was hearing nostalgia music. The website http://www.am580lubbock.com/ calls itself ``easy listening`` but mostly talkshows, and major lobe to the WNW. On an excursion to Puerto de Luna, S of Santa Rosa, we were able to pull in the following in the daytime at 2106-2113 UT August 30: 1210, KGYN Guymon OK 1060, open carrier with whine, good strength. Must be KIJN, Farwell TX, 10 kW with Spanish religion. Someone back east was wondering whether this is on the air: yes, and no. 900, agritalk, must be KFLP Floydada TX, ``all ag, all day`` per NRC. 800, JBA something, but KSWV Santa Fe 810 splash a problem even here. I was expecting XEROK Ciudad Juárez, certainly not running any 150 kW as still listed by WRTH 2010. Could be KDDD Dumas TX which is now Spanish per NRC. 620, Disney music, all the way from Plano TX, KMKI which I also get in Enid, plus IBOC. See also 530 under TIS sexion. 570, when we were 19 minutes from TX at 0019 UT Aug 31, KSNM Las Cruces had a fast SAH and CCI, most likely from KLIF Dallas; and KRFE ACI. 830, looked for KMUL Farwell TX, Spanish, as we were closest along the border, but not heard, off the air? 1210, KGYN Guymon OK, after 0500 UT in Amarillo was very poor, with WOAI IBOCQRM. KGYN must have really been direxional westward at night. 1310, KZIP Amarillo, we noticed accompanied by IBOC noise in the daytime, unlisted as such. 1550 is the shameful station in Amarillo, axually licensed to nearby Canyon, KZYK. NRC AM Log says ESPN Deportes, 1000 watts day, 219 night, 500 PSRA. Aug 31 at 0514 UT could hear some low-modulation Spanish music buried by rumbling noise, same at next check 1222. Could it be some QRMotel? No, still there everywhere on caradio; at 1336, I find that the rumble on 1550 spreads out 100 kHz above and below! Forget about hearing anything else in Amarillo on 1450-1650. Next check at 1456 as we are heading out of Amarillo to the NE on US 60, modulation has increased but distorted, so we can tell it is ESPN Deportes, and the noise blob has decreased to only 50 kHz above and below, probably only due to our increased distance from it. 1650, at 1506 UT when we are just east of the airport, hear a mix of KGNC 710 plus KIXZ 940, not at the same site. 640, WWLS Moore OK, reaches at least as far as Amarillo on daytime 5 kW groundwave, not too surprising as KGNC 710 does the same far into OK with 10 kW. TIS/HAR observations: 1610 and 530, nothing heard around Santa Fe; 1610 used to be active. 1610, sign on I-25 by Pecos National Monument says tune to this frequency, but nothing heard. On I-40 around Santa Rosa, the HARs on 1610 and 1680 are still on the air, long after reconstruxion has been completed. 1680 first noticed around mile 260. 1610 was very good at the Colonias exit 267, but I had never found out their exact locations and never spotted likely antenna masts. A few years ago, the tagline was ``don`t drink & drive --- arrive alive``. Now the two are relaying NWS weather robot; everywhere it`s ``partly cloudy`` with exactly the same intonation. But 1610 is interrupted EVERY 42 seconds, and with less of a pause, 1680 every 40 seconds, for a YL message which says: ``The New Mexico Department of Transportation, District 4, welcomes you and your family to the Land of Enchantment. Seat belts save lives. Remember to buckle up and drive safely``. These far too frequent interruptions make it just about impossible to follow the weather info. BUT --- altho the NWS relays are synchronized, the identical DOT spiels are not, so the interruptions come at different times. If you`re lucky, as soon as one NWS is cut off, flip to the other frequency, back and forth. NWS also gives MDT timechex on the hour and half hour. At 1905 UT Aug 24, ID as ``WXJ33, 162.550 for north central NM from Albuquerque``. This one really serves Santa Fe, altho it may be controlled from ABQ, but its official service area does not include Guadalupe County! So why is it relayed here? http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/Maps/PDF/WXJ33.pdf These two have pretty good range, both audible down to the end of the paved road past Puerto de Luna, some 12 miles south of Santa Rosa. Eastward on I-40, 1680 remained stronger than 1610, so 1680 must be further east. I could still hear them at mile 301.

Not found in FCC, searching Quay, nor neighboring Curry, Harding counties. Seems none of them feel any need to ID by call or location. 1670, we got off at the most westward I-40 exit to Tucum, and did not see any signs about this one, just ran across it when we were beyond Tucum to the east: A bit too early for WTDY, at 0014 UT Aug 31, and besides, it`s a local loop, gist: take exit 332, for the Dinosaur Museum at Mesalands Community College, where there is now also a single wind power turbine dominating the town`s skyline, apparently also housing ``the world`s highest classroom``; and mentioned http://www.mesalands.edu Nothing there about their radio station, but FCC search finds: Callsign: WQIQ632 Licensee: Mesalands Community College Radio Service: Public Safety Pool, Conventional (PW) City: Tucumcari, NM Status: Active Grant Date: 04/15/2008 Expiration: 04/15/2018 Site: 1 Address: I-40 off ramp Exit 332 City: Tucumcari, NM County: QUAY Coordinates: 35° 9' 2.4" N, 103° 43' 41.0" W Frequency: 1.67000000 V 530, generally not suitable for TIS/HAR in northern/eastern NM due to KNMX 540 Las Vegas, but as we were about to leave NM on I-40 E of Tucumcari, one became audible with the same NMDOT4 seat-belt notice as on 1610, and about same strength, no NWS. Probably San Jon or Glenrio. I also heard 530 with same loop earlier at Puerto de Luna, but can`t be sure it was from same transmitter. Most, probably all of the old NM TIS loops with Ricardo Montalbán are long gone.

More cities should do it if a frequency like this be available. Becoming audible around the Channing exit 37 on I-40, long before a sign appeared about it at mile 60 on the west side of AMA. Strangely enough, FCC does not come up with any 1610 in Potter County. TV: Not in a position to tune off-air DTV, but on the motel TV in Santa Fe, noticed Albuquerque stations KOB-4 (RF 26, NBC) and KRQE-13 (RF 13, CBS) running rapid crawlers in fine white print across top screen near top of some hours, impossible to copy without taping and freezing, IDing all their translators --- are they all DTV now, or some still analog, mixed? Not stated. The usual callsigns K##XX with the channel (virtual?) number in the middle, except for one run by KRQE: WPNB264 in Apache Sprs. (Springs)! What kind of translator is that? Not found in FCC TV Query, but searching the entire FCC site on the callsign we get one hit: http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-246252A1.txt Below is a listing of licenses that have been acted upon by the Commission. TT - TV Translator Relay Licensee Name Action Date Call Sign Act. EMMIS TELEVISION LICENSE CORPORATION 04/ 15/ 2004 WPNB264 M Which is not very informative, not even giving the location or frequency, but apparently residents of Apache Springs are expected to get KRQE by tuning in directly to this relay transmitter. Wait a minute --- Emmis is not the licensee of KRQE! We happened to pass directly thru Apache Springs later, which is a wide place in the road from Las Vegas to Santa Rosa. Only a few scattered domiciles were visible from US 84, and no unusual transmitting or receiving antennas. The other major station, KOAT (RF 7, ABC), rolls, not scrolls a list of translators covering the lower right portion of the screen, just before 9 am local.
