Re: [IRCA] New Station: 1510 KMYN Isleta - Albuquerque
Checking the FCC site KYMN 1510 is listed as ND. Hopefully 4.2 kW CH power can make it here via sunset skip, although there's plenty of QRM on 1510. On 1500, even though there's not all that much QRM to the west from here (KSTP isn't terribly strong on night pattern) I've had no luck getting KABR in many attempts at ABQ sunset, and their Navajo stuff would have stood out easily. I wonder why they switched to 1510 from 1500? What would they be protecting on 1500 that wouldn't allow weak night power operation? 73 KAZ Barrington IL -Original Message- >From: Scott Fybush >Sent: May 17, 2011 7:11 PM >To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America > >Subject: Re: [IRCA] New Station: 1510 KMYN Isleta - Albuquerque > >Doug Pifer wrote: >> Hi All, I saw this on facebook via KD Radio: "Join us Friday May 27th >> at the Caravan East night club, 7605 Central in Albuquerque.

( CBU Vancouver is covering this area and is too strong for XE to come through) XEWW is Spanish-language talk programmed mainly from Mexico City, "W Radio." "XTRA 1360" is just an on-air slogan for the San Diego station that used to be KGB and is now KLSD. The connection is Clear Channel: while it never owned 690 (and couldn't, being a US company), it programmed the station for a few years under the "XTRA Sports" banner and retained the trademark even after it had to stop programming the Mexican-licensed stations. s ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] Re; Dx Tip ( XE s )
Wolfman Jack didn't appear on XETRA (or its predecessor XEAK) in the early days. I've seen that claim many times, but I think it'sjust someone's misunderstanding that's been propagated on the Internet over the years. Wolfman Jack (Bob Smith) started airing on XERB in early '66 (possibly late '65), and became the station's manager that year, converting its non-religious/Spanish hours to a soul format, eventually almost a Wolfman Jack format. As for 690, it aired some rock programming in 1956 and went top 40 (except for an evening religious block and some other specialty shows in English andSpanish in non-prime time) in either 1956 or '57. It changed to an all-news format on May 6, 1961, and went Beautiful Music on April 2, 1968. They stayed with that format until September 26, 1980, when they went CHR, changing to oldies around 1984. It was in their oldies/talk hybrid format where they aired Wolfman Jack for a while. They had brief stints as a news station and with a talk format until settling into sports Talk, I believe around 1990. (When he went national, they were one of the first Rush Limbaugh affiliates; their promos called him Limbo.) I was outside the area then, but I think they briefly adopted an Adult Standards format in their final days as an English-language station, after XEPRS-1090 (the former XERB) took on the sports talk from John Lynch, who was the man originally behind XETRA's sports-talk flip. -- Rick -- Rick ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com

I believe Wolfman Jack was at XERB in March 27th of 64 and before as I remember listening to him on XERB "The Big X Over Los Angeles" the night of the Alaska Earthquake.

Re: [IRCA] Re; Dx Tip ( XE s )
I remember listening to Wolfman Jack on my pocket transistor radio on XERB (Big-X)1090 kHz back in 1967 from the San Francisco Bay Area. XERB signal was strong enough to get by local KFAX 50 kw on 1100 kHz. I liked when his listeners would call in and talk to the Wolfman. Another favorite was Curtis Springer on XEMO 860 kHZ from Zzyzx Mineral Springs, CA.
