O'Shucks. I said it was too good to be true. Radio Spam International on 890
kCycles has intermittently returned to the airwaves in Mabank, Texas. I noticed
at 13 hours 55 minutes a carrier popped up on 890. And then promptly at 1400
hours UT, the station came on with the legal ID and music played over and over
again for about 3 minutes, and then Chinese started coming out of my speaker;
but I've noticed the station keeps dropping out. It's not abrupt, it just fades
slowly down into the mud and then fades back in again, so we may add this to
the ``something is always wrong`` list. I can no longer hear the news from WLS
in Chicago. Why didn't they put that damn stupid station on 1680 or something?

** U S A. China Has Fallen. 7 days ago I turn
the radio on 890 KC; all I heard was The Sound of Silence,
no carrier, no modulation, no nothing. It was last Friday
the 13th in which I turned on China and heard nothing but
static. I don't know what's going on down there in Mabank
(pronounced Maybank, but the people in China could not
pronounce the name of the town that it's licensed to, to
save their life). But it's gone and I can only hope that it
stays that way. Now I can listen to W L S. I hope it stays
gone (Mark Sills, Dallas, Texas, July 20, DX LISTENING

This is about KTXV, 890, CoL Mabank TX,
which had been a 24-hour relay of CRI, per NRC AM Log, U4
2/250 watts, with STA of D3 2. That means
direxional-daytime only. Altho listed street address is in
Houston, Mabank is in The Metroplex market, somewhat SE of
Dallas next to Gun Barrel City (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
