[IRCA] "Praise 980" In Mountain Time Zone???

2009-03-29 Thread John H. Bryant
I'm hoping for some UNID help from the region.  All night over last 
night and this evening soon after sundown, I have been hearing 
continuous gospel and choir music coming from my west, here in 
northern Oklahoma. I am certain that it is not KOKA, a black gospel 
station announcing as 980, The Light. This is coming from my SW, W or 
NW and, given that it was in only 15 minutes after local sunset here, 
it is likely no further west that Ultah/Arizona. Every ID that I have 
heard (ever 10 to 15 minutes) has been by a male announcer who simply 
sez "Praise 980" This evening, I may have heard one or two PSAs. 
Overnight, there were no other announcements (beyond "Praise 980").


None of my references show anything similar.  Anyone have an idea 
about a format change or something???


Thanks!

John Bryant

Not too surprisingly, not heard in Victoria, BC, even if it had been on, though 
one can always dream.

Anyone know who the off-channel station was/is?  Measured at 1400.041kHz, so a 
definite hum was audible at times depending on fades.

[IRCA] WZFG-1100 (almost) heard on Cape Cod

2009-03-29 Thread Marc DeLorenzo
Between live listening and overnight recording, I spent at least 90 minutes on 
1100 kHz Saturday night & Sunday morning.  There was definitely a station that 
would "bubble up" under WTAM about every 5 minutes.  The peak was at 0304 EDT 
when they actually topped WTAM for about 10 seconds.  A woman on the phone who 
sounded like an official said "The Park has...home services."  That's it.  Not 
enough data to for an actual log.  Darn.  You win some, you..."

No trace here in Grafton WI where at least it was fun being here during a late 
winter storm. Lake Michigan below sounds like an ocean with roaring surf when 
there's big winds from the NE

CX were Ok toward the east and quite a few TA's but not extraordinary for

No sign of the test on my recording either.  Doesn't prove that the 
test didn't run, but I have heard WHTB in the past week (our little 
"GY focus group" happened to be concentrating on 1400 this week), and 
I would expect to hear something from a test.

 I thought I might as well chime in on this one. Although Fargo is only 300 
miles away from me and WZFG 1100 is like a semi-local due to the high soil 
conductivity around here unfortunately it's completely buried by KFAB's IBOC at 
night. The only way I can receive WZFG is if I completely null KFAB.
