Maybe KBOI engineer playing around? I wouldn't think so... [Spectrogram] [Audio Clip] (M37V) update: Turns out someone else recorded these same pips at the same time, but on 770 kHz during a presumed Radio Rebelde program. So, this was probably Radio Rebelde broadcasting the pips. (Tentative)
670	Unid.	??Unknown	??	?? - 10 Mar 2012 0100 - Reviewing my recordings some more, I note there is another spanish language station underneath the Rebelde programming. I have no idea who this is, and it'll probably be too hard to dig it out. (M37V) (Tentative)
670	KBOI	USAUnited States	ID	Boise - 10 Mar 2012 0107 - I am happy to report that the KBOI DX test was easily heard here in Los Alamos despite interference from KLTT Commerce City CO and especially from a 1 kHz tone caused by the high power Radio Rebelde transmitter in Cuba broadcasting on 671 kHz. Here is the what I heard during the first segment of the DX test: - Antenna pattern change to non-directional at about 1:07 AM MST, making KBOI audible, where before there wasn't a trace of it to be heard. - Voice announcement 20 seconds in: "KBOI Boise. We are pausing programming to do some technical maintenance and adjustments. Please stand by. We'll be back shortly." - 16 upward sweeps spaced about 2.5 seconds apart, starting at 29 seconds. - Intermittent music starting at about a minute and 8 seconds. - Morse code "KBOI BOISE IDAHO" 4 times, alternating between a 1 kHz tone and a 700 Hz tone, starting at about 1 minute and 49 seconds. The 1 kHz het from Rebelde made it hard to decode the 1 kHz morse code, but you could tell it was there. If there was a voice announcement associated with the 2nd segment of the test, I did not hear it: - Morse code starting at about 1:36 AM MST, same message as before, but repeated only once at each tone. - 2 upward sweeps - a collage of pieces of music - 2 more Morse code IDs - 5 more sweeps. - antenna changed back to night pattern making KBOI disappear from my radio. Also heard after reviewing my 5 hour recording of 670 kHz, a 3rd segment of the DX test! I only heard about 15 seconds worth at about 1:51 AM MST, and it consisted of a Morse code ID on top of some Christmas music ("It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year") Audio clips: [First Segment] [Second Segment] [Third Segment]. 50 kW, 742 miles (M37V) (New - #51, ID #1)

670	WSCR	USAUnited States	IL	Chicago - 10 Mar 2012 0000 - Also heard at various times during the 5 hour recording was WSCR with sports talk, although they were off the air for a couple hours from 1:00-3:00 AM MST along with WGN and WBBM for maintenance work on the WBBM transmitter.

650	XETNT	MEXMexico	SIN	Los Mochis - 17 Feb 2012 1800 - XETNT presumed, because of lots of announcements mentioning "Radio 65, 106.5". No callsign heard, though. Time check at TOH, "Las siete en punto", wrong time zone for Sinaloa, doh! But the jingle matches, so.... 5kW-D. 1kW-N (M37V) (New - #11, Country #2, Mexico #1, SI)
1540	KZMP	USAUnited States	TX	University Park - 17 Feb 2012 1710 - Fading in and getting stronger before pattern change/power change time, with ESPN Deportes programming (in Spanish). I somehow got distracted at the TOH, so I didn't hear the callsign, but this is the only 1540 that carries ESPN Deportes that I can tell. A later announcement gave URL of espndallas.com, then power dropped at 1716. [Audio Clip]. 32kW-D/0.75kW-N (M37V) (New - #10, TX #4)
1470	KKTY	USAUnited States	WY	Douglas - 16 Feb 2012 0215 - Playing oldies and barely heard "...classic fourteen-seventy, KKTY..." [audio clip]. 1kW-D, 0.5kW-N (M37V) (New - #9, WY #1)

1510	KOAZ	USAUnited States	NM	Isleta - 11 Feb 2012 1625 - New station noted on the air today stunting, playing the same few songs over and over with this announcement in between each: "KOAZ and K279BP are One-Oh-Three-Seven, The Oasis. Listen at noon on Tuesday, February 14th, Valentines Day." A bit weak here in Los ALamos, and subject to a bit of splash from hard to null local KRSN 1490. This station took over the KABR 1500 license when KABR went to FM, and changed frequency, callsign, transmitter site and power. Now 5kW-D/4.2kW-C/25 Watts-N, diplexing off one of the towers in the KTBL 1050 array. 68 miles. (M37V) (New - #7, NM #2)
1070	KNX	USAUnited States	CA	Los Angeles - 10 Feb 2012 2005 - Really? I've never logged KNX yet? Well here it is, with southern California traffic reports and commercials, and many mentions of "KNX, News Radio Ten-Seventy." 50kW 695 miles (M37V) (New - #6, CA #1)

1600	KEPN	USAUnited States	CO	Lakewood - 10 Feb 2012 1840 - "Fox Sports Radio, The Zone" amid the jumble on 1600. 5kW (M37V) (New - #3, CO #1)
1490	KRSN	USAUnited States	NM	Los Alamos - 21 & 22 Jan 2012 12:00 - 12:10 - KRSN's new transmitter site is only a mile from my house, so it wasn't hard to hear this one. Besides, I haven't officially relogged this one since they relocated their transmitter from White Rock. On this occasion, KRSN was running a DX test, which I organized for the station. The test program consisted of voice announcements with phonetic IDs ("Kilo Romeo Sierra November"), fast Morse code IDs at a medium pitch (700 Hz) and also at a high pitch (5 kHz), a telephone off-hook warning signal and some tone sweeps. 11 confirmed reception reports came in and I sent out 11 QSL cards [Here's a picture of one]. [Audio clip #1] is the 10 minute test program. [Audio clip #2] is how it sounded in Lakewood, CO. (M37V) (New - #2, NM #1)
