Another big X-Band log! 3/08/14 early morning

[crainbebo]

Very late last night around 1:00AM, I logged another very distant X-Bander on 1660!

1660 - WQLR Kalamazoo, MI; very weak on peaks; KTIQ dominant. 0055 PT Fox Sports Radio "877-99-ON-FOX" mention; fade-out. 0058 PT back with Fox Sports Radio promos and an A1C diabetes PSA; fade out again. 0100 PT very weak "...Kalamazoo" into Fox Sports Trending segment, KTIQ still a little dominant. Have enough now to confirm it. NEW #689, 1KW, 1737 miles!! Only MI #2 heard here; first was WJR-760 back in around 2009 or 2010 back in Seattle. Now to try for KRZI!

Other oddities heard
930 KTKN Ketchikan, AK; not common but only AK I will ever get nowadays. Disclosure's "Latch" around 12:40AM PT; ID "AM 930 KTKN" into another song. 1KW, 769 miles.
1210 KGYN Guymon, OK; fair with country and ID "1210 KGYN" also mentioned to like on facebook, "search KGYN-Guymon." 10KW, 1199 miles. RARE! Usually KHAT WY booms in clear as day with their Buckin 92 C/W.
1220 KHTS Canyon Country, CA; fair with AC music, 500W signal. At times they don't sound like 500W - more like 5000.
1490 Unid. Country music, ID sounded like "KTEL" (Walla Walla ESPN) but not them. Likely KDBM MT. Needed. Faded out near the TOH at 1:00AM, and I was too busy anyways IDing WQLR.

Another new one.

790 - KBET NV, Winchester; jingle ID in jumble at 2300 "KBET Winchester-Las Vegas" into Fox News. Fair-good reception. NEW #690, most likely on 1KW day power and not 300W-N; 778 miles. NV #20. Only need five more non-graveyarders from this state; 970 KNIH, 1060 KKVV, 1140 KXST, 1460 KENO and 1550 KXTO.

Interesting to see KENO-1460 is one of the few Nevada stations you need. Back in the 60's when I was an avid AM DXer in Connecticut, I believe KENO was the ONLY Nevada I heard.

Well you see, 1460 is a local here. KUTI Yakima. Hardly able to null out. Barely did and got KRRS a few nights ago from Santa Rosa, on "day power" strong 1KW. They have been off in the past, but RARELY. Was able to get KLTC ND during a sunrise session in their off time.
