Whja 890

I'm hearing WHJA 890 Laurel, MS booming in consistently tonight, announcing that it is 10000 watts, as Gospel 890. It is supposed to be 10000 day and 10000 CH, apparently authorized when reducing power or having a series limiting resistor was still an option. The CH efficiency shown from AM Query is less with the same tower height. BL file number is from 1985. There is no PSSA listed, and Wikipedia does not show a translator. Anyone know anything about this one? Obviously some Auroral effects tonight, but it still should be off by now.

That station was silent for a number of years due to a massive transmitter failure. I think it was one of the stations they were trying to get rid of by giving it away or selling cheap. It hasn't been back on the air that long. They are supposed to be daytime only. Looks like they are staying on past dark.
 
Don't know if it's still on tonight but I just listened on 890 and it's all Cuba with a slight trace of WLS in the background and nothing else.
