North America: 660 KEYZ Williston, ND. - 1000 UTC 8/28/2017 - One that I thought I logged before, but I guess not.

(TROMP-MI) 670 KLTT Commerce City, CO. - 1027 UTC 8/27/2017 - With religious preacher under WSCR (who's IBOC was off!), KLTT calls given at 1026 UTC.

Clear CW IDs heard "WNAH NASHVILLE TENNESSEE" peaking at the BOH, along with partial test announcement heard. WNAH competing against WKMI, WSAI, WMOB & WIXI during this time.
