 THE "X" BAND

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Ralph Brandi - ralph@xxxxxxx

I'm receiving a new X-band station on 1620, WJVA in South Bend,
Indiana. It's got oldies, and IDs most of the time as "WHLY,
Hollywood".  On 11/6 at 3 am eastern, I heard an ID as "WHLY AM and
WJVA AM", into news, then at 3:03 "We're 1620 AM, 10000 watts in
stereo," into the songs "My Favorite Things" and "Strangers in the
Night".

This is with a Drake R8 and Kiwa MW Loop from Tinton Falls, NJ.

Pat Martin - Seaside OR - mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx

Apparently number #18 is on the air,1620 - WJVA South Bend IN.

***

John Rieger - johnjrieger@xxxxxxxxx

   WJVA's first day was actually yesterday. Format is NS/MYL and "Radio
Hollywood" slogans are used. Dual "WHLY-WJVA" ids on the hour, so 1580
is WHLY while 1620 is WJVA. Frequent WHLY or Radio Hollywood ments.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Pat Martin - Seaside OR - mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx

Apparently there is an OC under mixing with KYIZ tonight here on the
Oregon Coast. At a guess, I would think it is Auburn, CA. So far no
audio noted, at 0745  UTC (Nov 9 / 98).

***

Patrick M. (Pat) Griffith - Federal Heights, CO - N0NNK@xxxxxxxxx

I've also been hearing an OC on 1620 here in the Denver area for
several days. It fades heavily but peaks at about S-7. By comparison
KXOL/1660 peaks about S-9 here.

Also the 1550/1690 // Radio Disney stations here in Denver have been OC
again this morning for at least the past 2 hours. Looks like full power
at +S-20 here.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Pat Martin - Seaside OR - mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx

1620  WHLY  IN, SOUTH BEND, presume the source of pop olies music
       and anmt "16-20 AM, Radio Hollywood" at 0630 EDT  11/12.
       Hopefully I can hear it better for a report. (PM-OR)

1620  WJVA  South Bend, Indiana, 0049-0130 and 1706-1723 on November 9,
       fair signal with fading and much interference from WPHG. Old
       popular songs ("Lullaby of Broadway," "Unforgettable," "That's
       Amore") and numerous IDs, including: "We're 1620, Radio
       Hollywood, WHLY," "1620, WHLY," and part of a legal ID at 0600
       as "...LY-AM, WJVA-AM, South Bend."  (Lazarus-LA, 11/9)
1680  WJNZ  Grand Rapids, Michigan, 0006-0048 on November 7. Fair
       signal with some fading. Rhythm & blues and rap music with only
       a few live announcements by the DJ mentioning the time,
       temperature and IDing only with the slogans "AM Stereo 16 JAMZ
       (sounds like 'Jam')" and "Stereo 1680 JAMZ". According to their
       web site, <http://www.wjnz.com>, which is obviously still under
       construction, the slogan is "STEREO 1680 JAMZ" and under it is
       written "WJNZ AM". (Lazarus-LA, 11/7/98)

completely updated from the 1996 edition and carefully cross-checked by
IRCA members in Mexico and the US.  This is an indispensable reference
for anyone who hears Mexican radio stations.  Size is 8 1/2" x 11" and
