Crawford Broadcasting & The National Anthem

[SomeRadioGuy]

The company owns quite a few christian preaching/teaching/music stations across the country and part of their "God & Country" stance, they play the national anthem. I've heard it on KLZ 560 at like 5 or 6am and again at night around 630pm mountain. I've heard it on KBRT around 530pm pacific. All of the Crawford Broadcasting AM stations seem to play it twice a day even though they aren't daytimers, don't sign on/off.. and it also doesn't seem to correlate to power up/down/pattern change time.
I thought this might be useful to some DX'ers who hear the anthem at odd times.

Here's a list of Crawford Stations that might be useful to someone

Useful info, thanks for posting it. I hear the national anthem and the speech the owner gives on KKPZ 1330 sometimes, as the station comes in well into the Seattle metro area.

When I lived in Tucson about 20 years ago, I would sometimes listen to one of the local AM signals on 1330 while driving home in the early evening. Most of the route home passed through one or more of their night pattern nulls and I would frequently hear other stations (usually KGAK in Gallup NM, sometimes with high school sports PBP in a mixture of English and Navaho that was fascinating to listen to).

At least a few times I heard the Anthem and it puzzled me, since I didn't know who would play it at that time of the evening. I'm guessing it might have been KKPZ based on your post. Thanks for clearing that up.
