15265, March 22 at
1352, CNR1 jammer, poor with flutter, not synch, but same Sunday-evening
cultural show featuring traditional a cappella singing and Chinese
announcements. None in the 17s, 16s, 12s, but also on usual 11655 & 11640

** MEXICO. 1170, March 22 at 1255
UT, YL gospel huxter speaks good Spanish, but still with an American accent,
goes thru hourtop, seems wrapping up at 1302 UT with hymn ``Nada es imposible``,
address as PO Box 2693 in McAllen TX. Until this thought it might be KJJD in
Colorado, but RGV station XERT Reynosa is still propagating (and others on 840,
890). With KFAQ Tulsa almost nulled, SAH of 116/minute = almost 2 Hz. Today`s
Enid sunrise: 1232; Reynosa: 1235 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, March 22 at 1200, JBA carrier in Cuba

** U S A. 7505.3, March 22 at 1206, VG
signal with gospel music, so WRNO is on at this odd hour; maybe was all-night? I
may not have checked this range around 0600. Still on at 1347 with gospel huxter
past 1400 and weakening, no ID. 7505 has always been registered with HFCC and
FCC for much longer hours than they ever used it, currently 22-16 UT, but until
now self-restricted to prime time only, 01v-04 UT. Remains to be heard whether
an anomaly, a Sunday-only thing or ??? Still going at 1552 check. Also has an
imaginary daytime frequency 15590 at 16-22, both inherited from KTBN. Wonder if
that will ever appear? Not today: at 1619, 7505.3 is still on but unmodulated
carrier. At this hour it must still be full power, not just exciter, as often
detectable overnight.
Incomplete program schedule still limited to evenings
only:
fails
to mention newscasts at odd times cribbed from Deutsche Welle (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 980, March 22 at 1308 UT, YL sports talk
from ENE/WSW, and a word or two behind stronger // 1010. Per KAZ tip, it`s KICA
Clovis NM, reactivated and now a satellite of KTNZ Amarillo with ESPN. KICA is
1400/172 watts U1. Constant QRM from 2 or 3 other stations in other direxions,
but several minutes later at 1330 UT kept getting the delayed // with 1010
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1060, March 22 at 0557
UT, EWTN programming in English, loops NW/SE, no doubt KRCN Longmont CO, and
also noticed a few hours earlier around 0140, so on 50 kW day power again
instead of 111 watts night. Plenty of QRM, notably off-frequency KIJN and XERDO,
but holds its own unless nulled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1090, March 22 at 0615 UT, Fox Sports Radio promoting
some app for radio on phone, 0617 UT promo jobs at FSR by phoning 972-977-2239
(Dallas overlay), another app, promo Fox Sports One [TV]. Loops E/W, no doubt
KVOP Plainview TX again, which http://plainviewradio.com/1090.php
shows does carry FSR at 6 pm-midnight weekdays, but Texas Overnight after
midnight. BUT no schedule at all on site for weekends! Who cares? Maybe they
plug into FSR and forget it till Monday morning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1110, March 22 at 1312 UT, song called ``Woman``, ID as
``Your classic rock station, Eagle 100.5`` during its ``multi-platinum
weekend``; 1316 UT outro as ``Dirty White Boy``. Adstring including something on
NBC(TV) Saturday night April 11; Ashley (?) Furniture Home Store offering
``free`` HDTVs with large furniture purchases; 1321 UT another slogan ID as
above, never any mention of 1110. 1327 UT losing out to Spanish, probably XEWR
Juárez. Both looping ENE/WSW.
Prime suspect is the Humble City NM (Hobbs
market) station in NRC AM Log, 5 kW daytimer KYKK, listed as Talk/Sport format
with a translator tail on 100.5, K263AZ wagging the dog of 1110. Wikipedia
informs that it has now morphed into KEJL, with same translator and branding as
Eagle 100.5; same company has KYKK now on 95.7 with classic rock. FCC AM Query
for Facility 48593 shows 1110 changed from KYKK to KPER on Aug 21, 2014, and
again from KPER to KEJL on Sept 1. I had previously logged 1110 when it was
still KYKK, March 5, 2014 at 1345 UT as in DXLD 14-10. Humble March sunrise is
1300 UT; April 1230 UT.
Alternative searching on ``Eagle 100.5`` goes
right to Jonesboro AR, but the nearest AR station on 1110 is in Clinton, a bit
too far away. BTW, NRC Log has yet another ``Eagle`` on 1110, WSLM Salem NH but
it goes with a 102.9 translator (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 1180, March 22 at 1240 UT, one clue in the CCI, mention
of ``105-5``, loops E/W, definitely not N/S as in Omaha. A very good clue
leading to the very first entry in the NRC AM Log for 1180, WUMY, Turrell AR
(Memphis TN market), 5000/26 watts U7 // W288BJ on 105.5, slogans as ``Y-105.5``
and ``Big Country``. No other 105.5 matches on 1180. You`d think with a COL in
AR, it would get a K-call, and Radio-locator shows the site is barely in AR west
of the River. Official sunrise in March is 1215 UT; April, 1130 UT (Glenn

UNIDENTIFIED. 7850, March 22 at 1209,
