Thanks this week to Martin Gallas, Springfield IL, who says, ``Glenn,
Thanks for your efforts to support Short Wave Radio all these years.
Let`s hope we all live to see sanity restored to our gov`t, more
specifically to the VOA, RFE, RFA etc.`` with a contribution by check
on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.

** U S A. Re: "UNIDENTIFIED. 1070, March 15 at 0644 UT, `Northstar
Bank` mentioned. Appears to be only? all over Michigan, but no 1070s
there; in the continued silence of KFTI Wichita (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)"
``North Star Bank in Estherville, Iowa is a longtime sponsor on KILR,
which has been getting out suspiciously well the past couple years.
They've been solidly under KNX on many of my recordings at the Border
Inn. 73 Tim Hall``
KILR is U4, supposedly only 250/48 watts! Estherville is almost at the
Minnesota border, east of Sioux Falls. Day pattern is slightly
lopsided favoring the southwest, night pattern more so. In this Tim
Hall report from 2025y, times presumably EDT so 1159 UT:
``1070 KILR IA Estherville – 10/27 0759 – Steady signal, way under
KNX, with ID: “News Talk 10-70 and 97.3 FM, KILR Estherville” into
Town Hall News. Listed 48 Watts nights (directional) or 15.3 Watts
PSRA (non-directional). 1040 miles``
Then I also get these tips from Saul Chernos, Ont.: ``North Star bank
also in Minnesota. There’s also in Iowa including Estherville`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. ``Hi Glenn, A while back you mentioned picking up a
signal somewhere around 1441.65. This signal is present on many of my
Border Inn recordings from last October. It is stronger on my more
northerly wires, but conditions that weekend strongly favored northern
signals, so that not be a reliable clue.
More importantly, I have just noticed that there is a companion signal
on 1458.35 -- about the same signal strength as 1441.65, and stronger
on my more northerly wires. This would seem to imply that we're
dealing with spurs from a station on 1450.
On the recording I'm currently reviewing (aimed 56 degrees at
Minnesota), the stations that were coming in on 1450 were KBFS, KEYY
and KJCV. Of course, there may have been others present that didn't
ID.
KBFS is all over my recordings from last October -- even on wires
aimed way south of them. They would probably be the first station I
would suspect. KJCV is semi-regular and KEYY (despite being one of my
closest signals on 1450) is only an occasional catch.
I'll try to gather a bit more data, such as what time the signal
finally goes away each morning, and what stations were present on 1450
when the spurs were strongest. I'm well behind on reviewing last
October's recordings, so it may be some time before I can assemble
enough information to be useful. 73 Tim Hall``
Great, your attn to these things is much appreciated! And the KILR
reply. I tune primarily in USB, so next time I get 1441+ I must try
1460 minus on LSB. KBFS = Belle Fourche SD; KEYY Provo UT; KJCV =
Jackson WY.
In fact I check this out soon, March 16 at 0432 UT on the R75: 1441.61
is indeed accompanied by a matching JBA carrier about 1458.39. Then I
try to get a rough bearing on the handheld PL-660, and 1441.61 seems
to peak more from NW than NNW, so that points to UT or WY rather than
SD (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
