[IRCA] 1450 unID sounds like WKVR
Curious if anyone can set me straight on calls which surface twice - once in each clip - and a few local references. 1450 – Clip A has a mention of a town right of the bat, and at 0:15 what sounds like “downtown Newtonville”, and then a set of calls at 0:30. Clip B has an ID sounding like WKVR at 0:39. Online at: http://forums.wtfda.org/showthread.php?8759 Thank you to anyone with good ears out there...

[IRCA] 1450 unid
I've posted a recent 1450 unid at the link below. This is on the WTFDA Forums, anyone can listen to it, but only those with an ID and password there can respond there. Otherwise a response on these lists is fine. http://www.wtfda.info/showthread.php?p=7637#post7637 Thanks- Russ Edmunds Blue Bell, PA ( 360' ASL ) [15 mi NNW of Philadelphia] 40:08:45N; 75:16:04W, Grid FN20id FM: Yamaha T-80 & Onkyo T-450RDS w/ APS9B @15' AM: Modified Sony ICF 2010 barefoot --- On Tue, 5/12/09, Russ Edmunds wrote: > From: Russ Edmunds > Subject: 1450 unid > To: "AM WTFDA" > Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2009, 7:55 PM > I just posted a clip on the Forums > which I've thus far been unable to solve. > > The link is: > > http://www.wtfda.info/showthread.php?p=7637#post7637 > > Thanks ! > > Russ Edmunds > Blue Bell, PA ( 360' ASL ) > [15 mi NNW of Philadelphia] > 40:08:45N; 75:16:04W, Grid FN20id > > FM: Yamaha T-80 & Onkyo T-450RDS w/ APS9B @15' > AM: Modified Sony ICF 2010 barefoot > > > > ___ 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
[IRCA] 1450 unID is WATZ foe certain
The WATZ call letters stood out clear as a bell, well ahead of anything else on the tape. I didn't even have my ear near the computer speaker and it was plain as day. Nice logging that one from across the pond, Paul (C). I listened to it again, and about all I can make out is the "AM" part at the end.. I *personally* don't hear any full set of call letters mentioned or the slogan, ""Northeast Michigan's news and information, this is WATZ AM" no matter how many times I listen. I believe y'all when you said that's what's there, I just don't hear it.

Re: [IRCA] 1450 UNID
Thanks Barry and everyone else who listened. My interpretation was "North Eastern Michigan's news and information station, this is WATZ AM" !!! Additionally the station goes to ABC news which WATZ runs. Paul Barry McLarnon wrote: Try again. Listen for: "Northeast Michigan's news and information, this is WATZ AM...", and it tails off. Then the start of ABC news.
