** U S A. ``Re: the 1030 UNID in Spanish: I think you can safely rule
out KCTA. I'm pretty sure KCTA only runs a half hour of Spanish
programming each morning at 6am CT. It's the “Galvan Revival Church”
program as listed at
https://kctaradio.com/blog/weekday-schedule/  
I often hear that program from KCTA on my Border Inn DXpeditions, as
KCTA signs on at (or before?) WBZ FCC sunrise time, which is 1100 UT /
6am CT in October when I make my recordings.

As for KCWJ, it might be worth comparing your signal to Radio Aliento
del Cielo here:  https://alientodelcielo.com/
KCWJ was reported as both Radio Aliento del Cielo (//KKLO-1410 and a
92.7 FM in Lenexa) and Radio Vida around the same time a few years
ago. I wasn't sure which report was correct, and I haven't heard KCWJ
much since. HTH, Tim Hall``

Mauno Ritola via abdx.org: ``MW list has Aliento del Cielo Radio for
KCWJ: https://alientodelcielo.com/
73, Mauno``

Before seeing those, I listened again to 1030, March 20 straight thru
from 0510 to 0620 UT: Still, no announcements whatever, just praise
music in Spanish; could have inserted ToH ID at 0603 between songs or
0608; does FCC ever cite stations for such repeated minor? infraxions?
I also checked the Radio Vida webstream which radio-locator.com thinx
applies to KCWJ, but it was talk part of the time, and different music
part of the time. So obviously KCWJ is not (any longer?) with Radio
Vida, explaining my obs. I also DFed it as NE/SW which fits well for
Kansas City area. Anyhow the music is nice and harmonious; fortunately
I am much more fluent in Spanish spoken than sung, so could enjoy the
music pro arte without being distracted by the no doubt nonsensical
lyrix (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1280, March 20 at 0629 UT, ``Newsradio KYRO,` back to `Red
Eye Radio`. That`s U1 660/45 watts at Troy MO, address in St Louis.
Bet they were on huge day instead of night power. Radio-locator shows
address in Moscow Mills, which is just SE of Troy and site is further
NW of Troy halfway to Silex; also near Wentzville, home of WA0RCR, all
of which NW of St Louis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 1650 kHz, March 19 at 0647 UT, South Asian music. NRC AM
Log shows of the 8 North Americans on 1650, it has to be CINA,
Mississauga [Toronto], Ontario, U1 5000/680 watts, ``Seena Radio``.
Maybe new for me. Normally hear IA/CO/TX stations, not so much OK,
``AR`` Fort Smith.

It should be noted that another Toronto X-bander, CHHA, is very

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, re Station YHWH: ``I had corresponded with the op sometime back and he wrote that the song was actually recorded
under the pseudonym "Lace" by himself and his (then) wife. He sent me
a CD that had it and a few other songs he did at the time. best - Rick
in Arizona Barton`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, it seems we won`t be hearing ex-`Hikari FM`
on SW. FYI:

``[WOR] Pirate on 11529.9 kHz. (formerly Hikari FM) to leave SW, in favor of MW (1710 kHz.) -- Hi Glenn - Here is my latest (March 14) correspondence from Ivan, the operator of 1710 kHz. I will miss chasing his SW signal to hear his unique musical selections. Ron Howard (Monterey, Calif.)

"Yeah I do not think I should do 11530 anymore and should focus on 1710 kHz. It seems like it is possible to reach your area at night if I dedicate the resources to it. On top of that I am getting attention locally on 1710 kHz. It can be heard 24 kilometers away during the day and that is just with 25 watts. However, as soon as I get a decent signal out, I will move away from 1710 so that I do not have to deal with XEPE which is strong in your area. I will let you know once I do that.

The shortwave transmitter just kind of sucks as compared to the MW
transmitter, it is more powerful but the modulator is sensitive and just kind of junk. But class G can be just as efficient as class D, it is just bulkier. I think going forward the plan will be to disassemble the shortwave antenna and use the wire from it to make the inverted L longer and shrink the loading coil. Then I can build a 100 watt class G MW transmitter and will be getting a decently strong signal into your area at night. You can listen in your car, lol, you cannot do that on shortwave . My hope with 11530 was to reach Asia, but I do not think I can do that with what I have at the moment, I need a directional antenna which is not feasible to put up here.

So you can forget about 11530 at this point in time. I am not going to be on it for a while and by the time I will get the idea to try again it will be with a different transmitter and probably in a different location. Last time I tried MW, I failed (I was dumb and didn't use single core wire for the antenna) but this time I am getting out at night so I think It will be better to do it instead. Kind of like killing two birds with one stone here, I get nighttime coverage and local coverage which average people can listen to. Maybe getting into British Columbia is not an option but I think I will reach more people this way. Very Best Regards."`` (via Ron Howard, WOR iog)

``1710 is a non-starter in BC (coastal) as the channel is totally dominated by Travis AFB. He needs to consider another channel. Perhaps just outside of the MW band --- 1720? 73, Walt Salmaniw`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, 12030, 17715, Wed Mar 19 at 2300, token English from

UNIDENTIFIED. 1030 kHz, March 19 in the 06/07 UT hour, nothing but
continuous praise music in Spanish. Sounds like from a single
performing group, song after song. Suspect KCWJ MO, Radio Vida.
Radio-locator leads to the network website
https://radiovida.com/about/
which does not include any station on 1030! HQ is in Weslaco TX, so
flagship is KRGE 1290. Also detailed program sched by day and time,
https://radiovida.com/programacion/
no zone specified, but should we assume it be CDT = UT-5? Most outlets
are in CT, but not all, and there are also in Argentina, Honduras,
México. With some blanx and no consistency during the 1-2+ am hour,
which might correlate with all the `fill` music I am hearing. Late at
night I`m normally offline, but will have to try to match webstream.
At 1700 UT, stream runs long string of IDs in English starting with
KRGE but not the whole list as on website; did not catch KCWJ
included. Are all stations taking the simultaneous network feed,
possibly inserting local IDs?

How about KCTA 1030 Corpus Christi, 50 kW daytimer + limited hours
depending on WBZ SR/SS but should never be on in the nightmiddle.
Weekday program sked shows starting at 4 am CT = 09 UT, and final
program starting at 8:32 pm = 0132 UT, so until 0200?? Entire program
sked does not show a single title in Spanish, altho NRC AM Log
classifies it as EE/SS:REL. That ``SS`` is the only reason I
considered it a possibility, besides running overtime (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
