up to date:

``However a few hours later no trace of RRI on 9740 at 0300 October 5

of Turkiye on 7275 at the same time. Both were on 24 hours earlier
though reception was degraded. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas``
Oct 5 at 1812: ``it would appear several RRI broadcasts are missing…
Romanian on 11975 17-20, the 11945 feed to the US. It seems most if
not all RRI is off SW right now. Regards, Paul Walker, AK``

** U S A. Reply to some of my MW logs the past week: ``Glenn et al, My
observations. 73, Wayne Heinen, N0POH, Editor, NRC AM Radio Log,
Aurora, CO:
[Re KJOZ:] If 880 decides on something, I guess I can update the AM
Radio Log database, it acts like it is brokered and broadcasts
whatever someone is willing to pay the air time fee for!
On 890 KDXU and their TLK format has been a consistent close second to
WLS since the season began. I wonder if their night DA is having
issues?
On 1460 I’ll refer you, once again, to the Groups section of the Log.
Grp= Heart of Jesus Radio, which is listed under KHOJ in the Log. With
a quick check in the handy reference Groups section in the back of the
Log shows:
Heart of Jesus Radio – KHOJ-1460, WRYT-1080, KBKC-90.1, K244FO-96.7,
W224DC-92.7, K275CI-102.9
I know it is a pain to check each group but, I haven’t had any better
suggestion to make these types of // groups any better`` (via Glenn
Hauser, WOR)
** U S A. 1330, Oct 6 at 0501 UT, pause in gospel music for ``You are
listening to West Texas` powerhouse, KCKM...`` Really? 12/1 kW? Format
is basically C&W per NRC AM Log. BTW, Paul Crankshaw, Troon, Scotland,
MW Circle, logged Monahans Sept 28 as a `personal first`. Night
pattern is supposedly pulled in to the NE toward Wichita & Troon:

with deeper notches NW toward Gallup, SSE toward Mexicans (Glenn

UNIDENTIFIED. TA JBA MW carrier search, Oct 6 at 0440 UT: only a
