[IRCA] 1450

2015-02-02 Thread Mike Sanburn
I was sitting on 1450 just before 11 pm Pacific Time when both KZNU and KNOT took a deep down fade together and I heard call letters that sounded very much like KEGL. I wonder if this could be an AM/FM simulcasted or ? What city of license are those calls currently assigned to on FM?? Hobbs NM,

A step down from yesterday, but not quite a step into oblivion. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): after that lead in, you were expecting Bangladesh? Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a nativ

[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 2 February 2015

2015-02-02 Thread Nigel Pimblett
A small step up from yesterday, with 'small' being the key word. First tuned in at 1415, and noted 1548 4QD with traces of audio. It was in fairly steadily at that threshold level until fading out around 1450. Did do a bit better for several minutes around 1435. The only other audio was f

[IRCA] The TPs saw their shadows today

2015-02-02 Thread Bruce Portzer
Today is Ground Hog's Day and conditions reflected it. A small number of TPs briefly popped up out of the noise, briefly looked around, saw their shadows, and dove back into their holes. I guess this means we have six more weeks of lousy conditions before the springtime enhancement. The carr

Locally, since the prior round of shutdowns several years ago, there are 7 stores within about 10 miles of me here. Of these, 3 are selling off, shipping out and will close imminently.
