** GUATEMALA. 4055, May 31 at 0611, I find that the reactivated R. Verdad is
still on, concluding multilingual IDs over organ music with QSLing info, postal
address: Spanish, 0612 English, German, Italian, Swedish, Japanese, local
language with heavy Spanish influence; I suspect some of these were provided by
DX listeners. 0618 brief Spanish and English sign-offs, NA which we know will be
multi-verse for several minutes more.
Program schedule is conveniently
already in UT:
http://www.radioverdad.org/programaci%C3%B3n
or
try the original as:

Where
the only show in such a language on it is
22:30 - 23:00 E Imb’utz Ajk’in
(Sábado)
but the name of the language is not given; no doubt obvious locally.
I suspect sked is not up to date as it still claims to start at 1100 UT
weekdays, while we know it`s been on much earlier for a long time. Also it does
not mention the DX program from Panamá, `Antena DX`, which its producer believes
is on 4055 UT Sundays at 0200; I should try to confirm that by monitoring;
instead shows local Mon-Sat in UT:
``02:00 - 02:30 Club de la Amistad y
Filatélico``

** U S A. 15770, Saturday May 30 at
2152, WRMI playing a bit of Beethoven`s Sixth Symphony, as fill? No
announcements until 2159 Zanotti ID and off 2200*. Current sked shows Sat 2130
`Made in Italy`, and 2145 `FG Radio`, whatever that is. The WRMI programming
page
http://www.wrmi.net/pb/wp_d12a1732/wp_d12a1732.html
is
never complete, and this is one example.
15190, Sat May 30 at 2205-2210+,
R. Africa Network via WRMI is playing repetitive looping music, as if plugged
into a keyboard running something it is programmed to autoprovide other than for
an international SW broadcast toward, rather than from, Equatorial Guinea (Glenn

UNIDENTIFIED. 1500, May 31 at 0605 UT,
I`m getting something in English besides KSTP, with that nulled as much as
possible. Local weather break attributed to The Weather Channel, but can`t copy
any details! Then music, which turns out to be prélude to Coast to Coast AM
(they play a different piece of music at the start of every hour and after the
half-hour), since 0607 UT definite mention of Coast to Coast AM.
The
2014-2015 NRC AM Log mentions no `B` network affiliate on 1500. So I try to find
a 1500 affil at the Coast to Coast website, where listings are sorted state by
state only. It must not be up to date.
Would you believe that yahoo
search on 1500 site:coasttocoastam.com/stations leads to three possible states:
MN [!], NM, and NY. But if you look at the roster for those three states there
are NO 1500`s nor any explanation of why that figure would possibly come up for
those pages. Google search in same way gets zero hits on 1500, but gets
reasonable hits for 1490 and 1510.
Suspect this 1500 is a cheating
daytimer, maybe normally carrying C2CAM on an FM translator only? There are lots
of them from TX to OH and the SE quadrant of the USA, including one in Pawhuska
OK which is normally sportstalk. The NRC Pattern Book shows one with a favorable
lobe this way, rather than ND, Indianapolis` WBRI, which does have an FM
translator, but it`s supposedly religious, and the affil there is WIBC-FM.
Could it possibly be WFED Washington DC (ex-WTOP)? We never hear it here
with its very unfavorable pattern out into the Atlantic. Website http://federalnewsradio.com has nothing
about C2C, but linx to weekday and weekend program schedules are not hot. C2C
site state list does not even include DC.
Broadening the search thru the
NRC listings, there are surprisingly few news/talk formats on 1500, with a lot
of Oldies, etc. TLK was KDFN Doniphan MO, 1 kW daytimer, which had been silent
since 4/2014 as of publication in 8/2014. Another is WKXO Berea KY, 250-watt
daytimer which was OLD/TLK. Own site shows WKXO is now an SRN gospel station.
KDFN is apparently still off as it`s not on the Fox Media Network/Fox Radio
Network station list for SE Missouri.
Google search on program name and
1500 leads to this:
http://archive.coasttocoastam.com/affiliates/aa.html
mentioning
two 1500s, KSTP (before it went ESPN), and KRMS Osage Beach MO, so not meant to
be current? Anyhow, all affils are on one page for easy searching. Trouble is,
KRMS is now on 1150; was it ever on 1500?
KJIM 1500 Sherman TX is not
far, and often heard before sunset, as a nostalgic daytimer; can`t see how they
could pick up a talk show AND manage to be on overnight.
Perhaps my
closest 1500 is the answer, seemingly a long shot, but maybe not: KPGM Pawhuska
OK, 500-watt daytimer, with ESPN and Sports Animal sub-network in OK --- BUT
it`s sibling station in http://www.bartlesvilleradio.com to
KWON 1400 Bartlesville which IS a C2C affiliate. BTW, KPGM 1500 using
radio-locator.com claims daytime to reach Enid at fringe which is true, and KWON
1400 even a bit further --- except totally blocked by 1390v KCRC here (Glenn
