KVTT was on the air last night, and the night prior. Can't tell if it is running the full 50kW or 39kW, but the signal is quite strong here in Tyler, of course, with a lobe aimed directly at my front door. No chance of KFAB tonight. Can't even hear it beneath KVTT. Thought others might be interested in picking up a new logging for the books, especially with this being a daytimer.

Here in Houston, I noticed them with a strong signal on the night of 10/25, mostly on top of KFAB and XERED. They seem to do this regularly.

Regularly, you say? I knew it happened from time to time, but not regularly.

KVTT can be heard underneath local KTEK during critical hours.

Doesn't happen in reverse, I can tell you. I have never heard KTEK up here, even before KVTT (then KJSA) moved to 1110.
 
I was hearing something on 1110 a couple of weeks ago before dawn that I couldn't identify. Very weak with considerable fading. I sort of dout it was KVTT, because their pattern doesn't favor me.
 
How can a daytimer station FORGET to go off the air at night? The programming continues all night because the station has an FM translator that stays on around the clock. But how can you make that mistake with your AM station on the air two nights in a row? Nobody at the station noticed?

1110 KVTT Mineral Wells TX is powered at 50,000 watts directional with a five-tower array. During critical hours, it drops to 39,000 watts. It has a Bollywood South Asian format.
