This happens often this time of year. First WRFD then WCBS in right behind it in the clear.At 3:59 p.m. CT in Chicago, WRFD 880 Worthington, Ohio, mixing with WCBS at the WRFD signoff. Then WCBS in the clear – with WLS trimmed as best as possible.

New stations logged:
600 WREC TN Memphis 12/11/2021 2054 "Join us tomorrow morning at 8am for… on WREC". Fair mixing with KTBB and WMT. Surprised it took so long to hear this one, considering favorable strength/pattern.
850 WXJC AL Birmingham 12/12/2021 0700 TOH ID followed by syndicated religion program. Fair // stream.
1000 XEFV MEX Ciudad Juárez 12/11/2021 2107 Regional Mexican music mixing with XEOY, fair to good.

1540 KMPC CA Los Angeles 12/12/2021 0605 Talk in Korean // stream. Good at times with longer fades. Open carrier N/S assumed KEDA. Local KZMP off. I also checked 640 and got a relog on KFI airing Coast to Coast AM, fair with Cuba with KWPN nulled.
1540 XESTN MEX Monterrey 12/12/2021 0642 Christmas music and American Pop (The Cars). Fair u/open carrier (presumed KEDA) // stream. KEDA was back on booming in at 0700.
@wildthangjim XEBJB was also playing pop music when I logged them previously. Agreed on best time to hear KFI is early AM in Texas, although, sometimes KTIB Thibodeaux, La. is in the mix. KTOK is surprising weak here in DFW also, usually XEOY is dominant.From Houston, radio is a Sony ICF-SW7600GR, times CST:
570 XEBJB Mexico, San Nicolas de la Garza, 12/13 0635 listed as ABC Noticias, but at this hour playing nonstop SS pop.
640 KFI CA, Los Angeles, 12/13 0655 good with KWPN nulled, equal to/above XEJUA w/Coast to Coast, clear ID at 0657.
640 XEJUA Mexico, Cd. Juarez Chih. 12/13, 0659 good w/Regional Mexican mx, clear ID with call letters, frequency, and "La Lupe" slogan.
1000 KTOK OK, OKC, 12/13 0624 fair in KLAT slop w/XEOY missing. Ads for OKC businesses, KTOK mention. Normally vy difficult here.
1040 WPBS GA, Conyers, 12/13 0625, presumed this, good briefly in WHO null w/ad in accented EE, then Vietnamese talk.
0630 is the sweet spot for hearing KFI around here it seems. Cuban fades out after their sunrise ~0610, KWPN still on night power and weak, local on 650 signs on at 7, no sign of WCRV or KTIB.
Why was WLW off the air?DX ALERT
WLW TOTALLY OFF THE AIR AS OF 2AM EASTERN TIME 12/13.
Hearing SS talk and unid tropical-type SS music underneath, on the Milford PA SDR.
Beats me.Why was WLW off the air?
I wonder if it had something to do with upgrading the EAS system. Another blowtorch was off for that reason recently. WLW was upgraded in 2016, but maybe there was more to do.Why was WLW off the air?
That used to be a good time to hear KFI in the Chicago area, but since WMFN moved in it's impossible to hear KFI now.0630 is the sweet spot for hearing KFI around here it seems.

I've been hearing WOI break through a few times with WMFN nulled. But no trace of KFI.That used to be a good time to hear KFI in the Chicago area, but since WMFN moved in it's impossible to hear KFI now.
Well I hope you get KFI. I quit trying because WMFN is too strong.I've been hearing WOI break through a few times with WMFN nulled. But no trace of KFI.
A note here: Mexico does not treat the concept of "city of license" the way that is done in Canada and the US. The "location" of a station is based on where the transmitter is located. By US standards, XEBJB is a Monterrey station. By Mexican standards, it is located physically in that town which is outside of the Monterrey city limits.From Houston, radio is a Sony ICF-SW7600GR, times CST:
