** MALAYSIA. 6050, Sept 28 at 1250, pop music at S5-S8 past 1300+; also seems to
be a second carrier under. Ron Howard reported that Asyik FM reactivated Sept
27, having been silent starting Sept 9. Aoki shows this is only 10 kW ND, while
Lhasa is 100 kW at 290 degrees.
Ron Howard reports that by 1500 UT today,
6050 was instead carrying the Salam FM program (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 610, Sept 28 at 0518, dominant signal with romantic
music, ``106.1, Radio [Viva?], Guasave`` non-ID, back to music. XEGS, 5/1 kW,
Sinaloa, also a sunrise regular (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1844 monitoring: confirmed Wed Sept 28
from 1315.5 on WRMI 9955, good S9+10 and no jamming audible. Next:
Wed 2100
WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Wed 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

** U S A. 9955, Sept 27 at 2135, surprised to hear
Spanish on WRMI instead of Overcomer scheduled until 2200 weekdays. Soon clear
it`s a Cuban exile interview, but don`t know which, and just as he is about to
ID the program, cut off at 2159:30 for ID and into Radio Northern Ireland.
Anyhow, no jamming audible at all, unlike two hours later. One should check the
9955, 21-22 UT block otherdays for non-BS programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 1350, Sept 28 at 0526 UT, ``La Nueva 98.7
FM`` referring us to its Facebook. Usual Spanish here is KCOR San Antonio, but
this one is east/west! Several Facebook tries don`t find it, until I make a
general search, which leads to:
which
says ``la nueva ya llegó a Texas! La Nueva 98.7``
But where in Texas?
Logo print is too fine to make out. But linx to::
which
leads to linx to a 105.5 in Baton Rouge, and also to La Nueva 1350 AM, KZTD
Cabot AR! On the Facebook page, cabina phone is (501) 457-7373, which is
Arkansas.
NRC AM Log 2016-2017 shows: 1350, KZTD, Cabot AR, U1 2500/73
watts, address in North Little Rock, SS:MEX, 24 hr ``Fiesta Mexicana 1350``,
``Radio Exitos``.
So where is this 98.7 they are now duplicating on ND
day power? Well, WTFDA FM Database shows it`s nowhere in Arkansas! How about
Texas? Nothing with that current slogan but among the 15 Texans on 98.7 of any
power, these are/were Spanishish:

None of which look like a
match for this, and in any event are nowhere near Cabot AR, which is in the
center of the state, NE of Little Rock (and also nowhere near Bâton
Rouge).
Radio-locator.com shows:
KZTD-AM 1350 kHz Cabot, Arkansas
"La Nueva 105 & 1350"
Station Format: Spanish Pop
Website:
Despite
that URL, this website is now titled ``La Nueva 1350 AM - Tu estación favorita
en Arkansas`` -- yet another logo prominently displayed here is for 105.5 KDOK
Baton Rouge LA!! And nothing about a 98.7.
Could there be a 98.7 in Baton
Rouge which has flipped to this? NO, the only 98.7 in LA is KKST in Oakdale,
urban-contemp.
The Contacto page from the /cabot site says dirección
is:
``Arkansas 515 s. James st.
Jacksonville Arkanzas LA`` [sic,
sic!]
Jacksonville AR, is between Cabot and Little Rock on US 67 which
looks like an interstate, but peters out in NE AR.
Then I click on the
98.7 Facebook logo to blow it up, and that tiny inscription visibly pertains to:
``Latin Hits, Wichita Falls TX``.
Is one of the above listed TX 98.7 near
there? Pleasant Valley is not indexed in standard Rand McNally, but is in the
Large Scale Road Atlas --- in fact, there are two tiny towns by that name, one
SE of Lubbock, and another a suburb of Wichita Falls!
So the 98.7 non-ID
heard on 1350 from AR is referring to KZAM, which maybe is no longer silent,
and/or the network feed source. What a totally confused mess this all is; but
fun to unravel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
