What format does KOLE have these days? Last time I heard the station - in 2015 - it was playing smooth jazz.

Lately at night I sometimes hear fadeups of easy-listening and smooth jazz on 1340 to my E/W. At first I thought it might be KOLE, but now I’m guessing it was something else because the audio wasn’t distorted.

Its some gospel talk/music. . . Highly distorted at times
 
In Springfield Ohio we had WIZE. There were places in town where you could null WIZE and here what was then WLBC in Muncie Indiana. WIZE would be off on Sunday nights and I heard WMID from Atlantic City New Jersey in Springfield on 1340.

In Springfield itself?? Can't imagine that should be happening.
 
From NW San Antonio:

Day: Severe slop from close-by local 1350 KXTN.

Night: KVNN in Victoria and KAND in Corsicana are heard most often (but weak) amidst the slop. Sometimes I'll hear bits of KRBA in Lufkin and KCCE in San Angelo (Spanish-language Christian). Occasionally I'll get fadeups of an easy-listening station that I have not been able to ID. Recently I've heard the Mexico national anthem from two stations right before midnight but have not been able to ID them (one possibly being XEMT?).

DX/Retro: My one-time catches on 1340 include KGGS in Garden City, KS; KOLE in Port Arthur, TX; KWKC in Abilene, TX; XEMT in Matamoros; and XEDH in Ciudad Acuña (now retired).

Note: I'm convinced that some time in the past two or three years, 1350 KXTN (3 miles away, 5 kw, and formerly KCOR) tweaked something with its transmitter so that it throws even more signal my way. On recordings I made four or more years ago of stations on 1340 and 1360, the slop from KXTN wasn't as severe, and filtering/sync did a much better job of combatting it.
 
DFW, Texas

Daytime: A fair KAND from Corsicana, TX at 74 miles to the south.
Nighttime: Graveyard rumble. The only station I have ID'd is KGHM (The Game) from Midwest City, OK at 171 miles to the north.

Welcome to the board! Glad to have you here.

We are currently in the process of locking older Frequency of the Week threads. (But leaving them up for read-only). The process has already been discussed here in recent days, In the meantime, we'd ask you to please refrain from posting in threads that are more than a month old. if you have questions or need more info, please feel free to pm me anytime,

.....And yes, WHAT has been on my own list of cool call letters for a long time. As for WMID, I listen to it myself online from time to time. They do a great job!
 
From what I'm seeing, there are a few that are just trying to participate and contribute...But there's no pinned explanation at the top of the forum, explaining how it's supposed to work. - At least to give newbies a road map.
