I'm sad to hear of KLYC 1260 planning to leave the air. I can occasionally
hear them here in Spokane, usually on SRS in the morning, when CFRN is not too
strong.
When I was attending Gonzaga University here in Spokane in the early 70's, one
of my dormmates was from McMinnville & had worked wee

1590 KTIL OR, Tillamook, in tuning by 1590 tonight (0130 EDT-3/21),
noted "True Oldies Station", followed by an "AM 1590 KTIL" ID. Don't
know when they switched, but it must have been recently as they were
talk a few days ago, unless they are doing a split format, Talk days,
Oldies at night. T
Getting a good signal here under KMA. Station is obviously on day power,
airing a combination of delta blues and R&B oldies, and using the slogan ID
"The Awesome AM". CLs are heard every once in a while.

This is sad indeed to see a historic station leave the air. I did a little
research on the history of this station today, very interesting.
I want to ask a favor, would someone be able to record the sign -off of this
station on Friday, I would like to add to my growing collection.
Kind Regards

There's nothing quite like a geomagnetic upset to clear out the propagation
passageways a bit. This morning had some of the most interesting Asian DX in
some timenot loud, or consistent, but at least it was there, and only during
some brief enhancement around 1400UT.

I remember one thing the CE told me at KBAM Longview back in the 70s the
stations in the shadow of Portland, they always have to compete harder.
McMinnville is in that metro Portland area. But with all of AM & FM
stations on the air, it is hard for many of them to get enough ad money
to stay afloat
Dennis,
Yes, that is sad to see the station go. I don't like to see any AM
station go off the air, but the old ones, it is even more sad.
I remember well the days when so many of the Valley stations were solid
as a rock and were popular. KMCM was very popular and I remember
visiting the station o
Patrick,
The owner of KLYC has schedule a sale of the equipment and furnishings on April
6, 2013. The call letters since 1949 have been KMCM - KCYX - 06/04/1979 KLYC -
06/20/1990. Sad to see the station leave the air. A lot of people on the
Portland PDX forum believe that station will not retur
Hello All,
With auroral conditions over the Asians returned to their normal (mid-March)
state this morning, with several big guns producing decent signals. During
testing of a new 12" FSL antenna (the 2013 DXpedition model for the Oregon
cliffs) 1566-HLAZ managed a huge signal at 1355, while 5
Mixed TP/DU this morning. Lots of low band hets, a few mid and high band
hets, no expanded band hets.
1566 presumed HLAZ with woman talking, weak at times, 1354 utc.
972 presumed South Korea with Asian talk, very poor, 1401 utc. All TP
gone after about 1405 utc.

The Mexican on 990 could be XET, "La T Grande," in Monterrey, Nuevo León.
They're pretty potent here at night.

Has been exceedingly hot here for various DXers for a couple weeks.
I've had Wylie TX 3x on 700, at just a couple thou watts.
Niel Wolfish had Forrest City AR 950 a few mornings ago...and they were in huge

That is too bad. I remember listening to the station back in the 1960s
under the calls KMCM for McMinnville. I wonder if the station will
finally be bought and return to the air? I guess it came on in 1949, the
year I was born.
