get any.

There's a discrepancy between their website and their on-air promo, and it
looks like the promo is correct.
KKXA-1520 is still analog this evening. I'll leave a recorder running in
case they do something receivable during the later part of the window, but
they're promoting Saturday night, so I'll

Theyre probably tweaking the audio processing and the transmitter
modulation. Good for them.. this station has been a long time coming and
it's locally/family owned.

08 --14 --11, 19: 30 to 20:00 PDT , Nanaimo BC : As of 19:00 PDT a few distant
signals started to show up on the high end of AM. The first trace of signal
came in on 1520 from Portland Or, followed a few minutes later by 1530 in
Sacramento. Watching for any sign of 1520 in Northwest Wa, there
Bruce,
Their pattern must be pretty tight to the South. It is a bit of work to
to get KKXA on top of KGDD during the day, but it can be done. as it
gets closer to LSS in the late afternoon, the skip is more apparent on
the upper frequencies, so holding a null on KGDD is tough. Then at
night, KKXA
It's on at night now, too, playing the loop of radio-related song
excerpts at 10 pm. Not very strong at all, either. I'm about 20 miles
south of them and it's a battle between them and the Oregon station.

Phil,
I noticed this. During the day, I need to phase down KGDD to get a fair
signal. Then at night off the NE EWE, KKXA seems to be top. Their IBOC
does do a number on KGA and KFBK though. Fortunately the IBOC issue is
mainly onthe NE EWE though.

KKXA 1520 was heard on air again this morning, (with their now slightly boring
Fleetwood Mac loop), with what seemed to be a stronger signal than
yesterday here in Vic BC ,until about 11:00 PDT after which they went dead. At
this time I'm not tuned so as of now I don't know what's happening. Bil
With phasing KGDD, KKXA is fair this morning, but I cannot detect any
IBOC on 1510 or 1530 here.

Kind of funny as KFBK's IBOC bothers both 1540 Bellevue and 1520 OR City
here so more IBOC more oftenI am beginning to wonder "if" IBOC on MW
will be with us for the rest of my life? The plus is to get that station
ID on the screen I guess, but few IBOC Radios out there.
I'll never buy one
Inherently Bad off Channel.
I don't want this to degenerate into a discussion about how bad IBOC is and
how this ruins another DX Channel and puts more noise on the channel.. we
know DX'ers hate IBOC, so no more needs to be said on that. Any new station
that ruins someone's fun, maybe someone else
KKXA dropped carrier at around 9:15 PM, which I guess is about right for
July.
But before they did, their IBOC was really trashing KGA and KFBK.
Who was it that cleverly said IBOC stands for It Bothers Other Channels?
Certainly applies here!

The station will have the same power during critical hours (Sunrise to 2
hours later and 2 hours before sunset up till sunset) that it has at night,
50KW.
The reason for more power at night is.. because they can! It's not common,
but not unheard of to have more power at night because what they hav
I looked at some of the data on the FCC sites.
KKXA is operating from the KRKO 1380 site SE of Everett, WA.
The contours of KKXA and KGDD (0.5mv) that can't touch do not touch, they
come close.. but don't touch. There is also plenty of space between KKXA and
other stations such as KBRO 1490, KGA
I noticed around 0300 EDT this morning that KKXA had boosted up their
modulation tearing up KGDD at times here on the coast. Infact there was
no way to get either KKXA or KGDD clear enough to listen to either QRM
free. So it looks like with the addition of KKXA, 1520 is going to be a
