** U S A. 1480, May 16 at 1232 UT, yes, KBXD Dallas has a new ``renter`` ---
Spanish monolog preaching, Jesucristo-this & that, and plugging newly on 14-80;
mostly below KQAM which I can`t null completely, making a 72/minute SAH = 1.2
Hz. It`s a pain to have to listen to the latter, with a diehard Wichita local
host Trumpster, still partisan to the corrupt, treasonous, incompetent,
minority mis-elected Trumpence regime. The preacher mentions another AM
frequency before 14-80, which I have trouble copying; at 1239 UT brief CCI from
a third station with praise music. KBXD fading down as hourtop approaches, but
1258 UT canned English ID as heard before, ``KBXD, 1480, Dallas``, a bit of
music, and then Spanish ID mentioning Wylie-Dallas-Fort Worth, studio address,
fade; 1301 UT a 972 AC phone number, YL now; 1302 UT Spanish song and repeated
requests by a different OM for reception reports, how far are they reaching now
that they have 50,000 watts on 1480, Waco? I finally copy the first frequency
definitely as 700, and apparently going to do this until next program at 8:15
am CT. So 1480 is duplicating 700 KHSE, CoL Wylie, which counts upon only
1500/920 watts U4. Too late this morning to get it, altho under best conditions
is barely audible on groundwave and at night skywave with plenty WLW QRM.

May 13, 2016 No Comments --- Mark Jorgenson’s ACM JCE IV B LLC sells 1480 KBXD
Dallas to Chris Muse for $1.5 million plus a $13,000 payment to break the
station’s tower lease``
So it`s not only been rented but sold. What`s this about the tower lease? Are
they moving somewhere else again? BTW, right next to it from Venta is an item
about Amarillo 99.7 Fun FM called ``KBXD`` as well, but WTFDA FM Database shows
its correct call is KBZD (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1878, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 1480, May 18 at 1200 UT, my DX-398 AM sexion is still tuned to 1480
from yesterday morning, so I turn on KBXD again; in Spanish with slogan ``Estás
en sintonía de [algo] Esperanza``, then English almost-legal canned ID thrice,
``KBXD 1480 Dallas``. Then ad mentioning ``Radio Setecientos A-M`` for KHSE 700
which is now being duplicated on 1480. Then Esperanza slogan or program name
again, later preaching. (Both Wikipedia and Radio-Locator have way outdated
info on KHSE as ``FunAsia``). KHSE is attributed to Hammond Broadcasting, but
not KBXD, yet John Hammond was the one calling for ``renters`` of 1480 (Glenn

** U S A. 1500, May 18 at 1208 UT, KJIM Sherman TX is dominant over KSTP and/or
OK`s KPGM, with `Osgood File` after CBS News. Charles` aging voice is evident,
but he`s still ``seeing us`` on the radio, no longer on TV`s Sunday Morning,
outro referring to his social media activity. 1211 UT local announcer ID as
K-Jim, and also K267CB on 103.1, I wrote and thought he said, but really on
101.3; Then plays NWS robot with some hum, forecasts for several days ahead,
mostly showers and T-storms (like Enid, high risk of tornados May 18).
``America`s best music, the memory-maker, AM 1500, K-jim``. Still a small local
station with a distinctive format (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1540, May 16 at 1230 UT, promo for a show on ``Estrella TV, Canal
29``, which we long ago pegged to The Metroplex market; and string of ESPN
Deportes promos, from KZMP University Park, now on 32 kW day power (Glenn

** U S A. 1690, May 16 at 1223 UT, local news on a change of personnel at KMGH
