[IRCA] Fairfield CA, strange station

[Neil Bell]

Heard a station on 890 which identifies itself as KIRB, serving Travis 
Air Force Base in Fairfield, CA.  Couldn't find anything on a station 
with call letters of KIRB.  My QTH is about 32 miles from the AFB and 
the signal is not very strong and was mixing with KDXU from Utah a 10 KW 
station about 465 miles from me.  They were broadcasting a taped message 
about 1-2 minutes long - sort of like a TIS or HAR.  Anyone else ever 
heard this one?

This has been reported on and off for years.. a friend of mine heard it
when driving through the area in 2006 or 2007.
