NOTE: Although the primary area of interest is TV and FM DXing, most

I stopped by the the transmitter site of WTDY-1670 in Madison, WI. I
talked to an engineer installing the transmitter for the 1670
allocation. The transmitter is installed, and they are running the 1
1/4" coax line to the tower they will be using.
He said that they will begin to test and tune the transmitter starting
next week (April 27). They will be using open carriers, and 400 Hz
tones.
More information can be had at http://www.execpc.com/~kwin/radio.html

International airport . Anyone know who this is?? (SA-MB)
1685.3/4 ??KYDE AR Pine Bluff 04/22 2338 In with fair signals and a

1370 KUND ND Grand Forks 04-17 1800 Heard back on the air after
one year of being dark. World Cafe music program and ID
as"Broadcasting from the campus of University Of North Dakota
this is KUND 89.3 FM 13-70 AM and KFJM 90.7 Grand Forks". NEW
callsign Heard first time today. May have come on today to mark
the first anniversary of the 1977 flood.
COMMENTS
One new one in the way of a TIS once I find out who this is. I think
it is Austin TX as that seemed to be the area it concentrated on during
the weather.
My 1685.3 may not be as posted..Jeff Kadet in IL heard KDDA 1560 on
1685.38! The ID I had was for Pine Bluff but was the FM. This is now
ify at best.

Mark Mohrmann - Coventry, Vt. - mohrmannm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
UNID 1640 French language station 0138 Apr 18, LA/Carrib/Afro type
dance music. French announcer with ID at 0149. My knowledge of
French is almost non-existant but this is what I was able to
devine, "Radio (Metroto'?) 1640 (or 640?) AM stereo...Marape'n
(place name?)...nouvelle radio..." This one has been in here for
a week or so. My first thought was that it was a spur from a
nearby Quebec BCB station across the border, but the "nouvelle
radio" phrase that I heard tonight makes me think it may be
something new. Mixing with TIS stations which I was able to null
with the MFJ-1026. (what a wonderful new toy it is.) (Mohrmann
VT)
UNID 1640 French language station 2349 Apr 18 again this evening with
more LA/Carib/Afro dance music. 0950 Apr 19 with soft French and
English ballads. No ads, no time checks noted, all announcements
apparently canned. No carrier now at mid-day so they either are
not local or they are not on at the moment. (Mohrmann VT)
USA 1640 French language station, According to detective work done by
BADX and Numero Uno folks in the Boston, Ma. area this station is
most likely a Haitian Community Broadcaster operating somewhere
near Dorchester, Ma. IDing as "R. Haitienne" and "R. Liberte".

Frequency Measurements on 1620 kHz
Albert Lehr - Livermore, CA - alehr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Allied A-2515 receiver
Homebrew external synchro detector
HeathKit IM-4100 frequency counter with homebrew external timebase
generator, phase-locked to WWVB - 60 kHz
4-foot spiral loop
Here is what 1620 looked like this morning 04/23/98 with my
frequency measurement system:
1619.970v WTIH303 Burbank, CA weak at 0346 PDT. Drifts a lot.
1619.9996 TIS Santa Ana, CA in the mix at 0333.
1620.0005 WPHG Atmore, AL fair 0313 with relig. music and talk,
good 0330 with news by John Scott.
1620.0107 KYIZ Renton, WA good 0317 with ID, soul music.
1620.0245 WGJ634 Milpitas, CA 0319. Good day and night,
sometimes overridden by KYIZ.
There was a brief period of activity in Precision Frequency Measurement
back in the 1970s. The method used was a bit tedious, so I think that
most DXers lost interest. With synchronous detection, a single
conversion receiver, and some digital timing and gating circuitry, the
process can be automated. Is anyone else still doing PFMs?

1685 KDDA, Dumas, Arkansas. 4-23, 7:37 - 8:00 PM CDT (0037-0100 UTC).
This spur is blasting in with exceptionally clear audio and
strong signal tonight. Although at first it was thought that
this was the 1590 station in Pine Bluff, KYDE, it isn't, as I
heard a clear dual ID at the top of the hour of "KDDA-AM 1560,
Dumas and KZYP-FM 99.3 Pine Bluff". Fromat is Urban
Contemporary, with a simulcast of the FM station.
1670/1650 WQO504. Baton Rouge Highway Advisory Radio, Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. On 1670, in almost as strong as the DFW Airport TIS
stations, and weaker on 1650. Talk about Interstate
construction, Baton Rouge area attractions, LSU, mentioned
operated by Louisiana Department of Transportation and
Development & Baton ROuge Visitors Bureau. Never noted this
before - is this new?

The following news item may not be news at your end, but was news to
me, even though I do sight both "DX Monitor" and "DX News". It is also
a DX curiosity here in the South Pacific by virtue of the reception
mode.
There has been a frequency swap in Portland Oregon. KFXX 1520 with its
sports format has moved to 910, and KKSN is now on 1520, identifying as
"Sunny 15-20". The legal id on the hour, just prior to NBC News is
"This is Sunny 15-20, KKSN-AM, Oregon City-Portland, the Memory
Station".
Now, I haven't actually heard this on 1520 AM, but on 25950khz in the
11 metre band shortwave. For a number of years KKFX-AM, this last
summer (December-February) KNRK-FM and now KKSN-AM have been heard
relayed on 25950kHz during our summer months during daylight hours.
One day last week I monitored KKSN-AM from 1900 UTC right through our
day to past 0300 UTC. A reception report being prepared by my previous
emails to KTRK-FM went unanswered!
Have also heard KGIL 1650 this past week but not enough verifiable
detail for a reception report as yet.

A Legend Passes Away
I have the sad duty to report that a legend in our radio hobby passed
away last week. Henry Scofield Holbrook or "Hank" as he was known to
his friends, died of leukemia on April 15 at the age of 69 in the
Washington Hospital Center. He lived in Tracy's Landing, MD.
Hank was an avid DXers (all band) and chased after wallpaper like no
other in our hobby. He DXed it all and collected QSLs from everything
he heard. Draw bridges, ships, broadcasters, TISs, toll booths, et al.
If Hank could hear it he would QSL it.
I grew up in this hobby watching Hank do his thing. He supported clubs,
commercial magazines and other organizations with his information and
insight. As a MT columnist I use to look forward to Hank's monthly
contributions. It always gave me a new idea or two and some new DX
targets to go after. Hank was more than a contributor for me. He
educated and directed me in my hobby pursuits. But more than that, Hank
was a good firend to me and this hobby.
Hank old friend, Gayle and I will miss you. I'm sure that Mary Ellen
will miss keeping your logbook on trips. But you are in a far better
place where the DX is always in and your QSLs never get lost in the
mail.
Please take a second or two today to remember a great DX'er. To Mary
Ellen his wife, and Melanie and Martha his daughters, we send along our
deepest sympathy from the entire MT/ST/Grove family. Also Gayle and I
send along our personal regards. We both had a close working
relationship with Hank that had developed over many years of personal
and regular correspondence.
If I get any more details, I will certainly pass it along. I want to
thank MT reader Dave Eason for passing along the heads up to Gayle and
faxing Hank's Washington Post obit to the office.

OK, I called KKSL-1290 and got the full story. It turns out they've
been off the whole week, but they haven't been actually 'off', they've
been running their signal into a dummy load testing out the xmtr and
things seem to be checking out. They hope to come on the air
permanently by the middle of next week (about 4/29). They will be
10000/1000 ND, and will be 24 hr. NSP, and 1290 will not go away, they
will be simulcasting each other for a while. Also, 1290 calls will
remain KKSL, 1640 will be KKJY, so that eliminates the confusion on
that part as well.
I also called 630 Reno, Nevada and got the scoop on that one, turns out
the application for the call change to KPTT (swap calls with 1450) is
still pending at the FCC, but they hope to have it granted soon. In
the meantime, 630 has borrowed 1450's slogan and is using that for now
'priming' people before they actually change calls to KPTT. The lady
told me "it may be a week, or it may be 3 months, you know how the FCC
is...". No kidding...
