(BIG BOO BOO... sorry I goofed up on this report... the following should
set it all straight... phil bytheway)
Henrik Klemetz - dhv599n@xxxxxxxxx
I noticed that you credited me with the Thai info. This is not quite
true. Info came from German DXer Willi Passmann, who has been traveling
in that country. Please insert the proper credit in your next issue.
Willi Passmann - dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Important information belonging to this list was not given, like the
receiving location, the fact that it was a daytime reception, listing
onlystrong signals. It was also credited incomplete. I asked Henrik
Klemetz, whom I have to thank, to forward my observations to you, as I
did not have your address at hand during my holiday stay in Thailand.
I kindly ask you to complete the missing information:
All observations were made in Ko Tao on Feb. 19, 2000. All Thai
frequencies (also the UNIDs = not listed in WRTH) except 774 Udon Thani
and 693 Saraburi were in // at 0900 UTC.
The list does not claim to be complete in any way, I simply logged the
strongest signals (S 3 or better) during daytime. The locations are
guesses by comparison with the frequency list of the WRTH 2000. If not
stated otherwise, traditional or modern Thai music was heard; special
programme formats are mentioned.
The above stated is true also for the following list which was observed
in Bangkok three days later:
522 not listed

1110 KWDB WA Oak Harbor. After two days of testing with non-stop ID-
less music (even as late as 2130 on 2/24), ID finally given 2/26
1315: "You're listening to KWDB, the voice of Whidbey Island."
Signal about the same as the former KJTT's (splatter from KYCW-
1090). No phone listing. (PT-WA)
1630 KNAX/XEUT. Strong OC noted 2/24 2305. No IDs noted through 2/25
0130 (over KCJJ; no KKWY). Did a quick scan and found KFWB, KABC
and KCTD at extraordinary levels so presumed this was XEUT (even
though KKHJ and KOGO were non-existent and XEBACH was poor).
However, when I got back to 1630 at 0135, varying levels of 60
cycle hum were noted and at 0530, the hum was stabilized (low).
Carrier still there w/o audio 0945. Called KOOR/KNAX and office
manager didn't know anything about 1630 (didn't get to Joe Mauk,
CE). Someone recently reported that KNAX was testing and would
be on soon... Does anyone have any updated info on this?
**Pat Martin - Rancho Mirage CA - mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx
XEUT leaves their carrier on AN often. I have heard it that way on the
Oregon coast. As far as I know KNAX is not on. Infact I got a card from
Gary Jackson - Sacramento who was visiting his father at Clovis and
there isn't a peep out of KNAX as yet. You must be hearing XEUT.

=============
1600 (Realtor) CA, Chula Vista 2/26 2215 Talking house in my Eastlake
Greens neighborhood, about a mile from my house. Signal badly
pummeled by XEKTT (which is just over the mountain in Tecate)
except when I was right in front of the house. Message included
the statement, "This talking house service is provided to all
Cacho Realty clients.", so there could be quite a few more of
these around. New. (TRH-CA)
Looks like the traveling talking-house salesman must have passed through
San Diego lately! We now have them on 1600, 1610, and 1670.
For anyone who's interested, we have a new home page which includes a DX
page (http://www.inetworld.net/halls/dx). I've assembled a pretty good
list of links to online databases, network affiliate lists, sports
networks, and sites that help you identify the businesses mentioned in
commercials. Additions, corrections, and comments are welcome.

Jan-Erik Österholm - Fortum FINLAND - Jan-Erik.Osterholm@xxxxxxxxxx
One question. I was on a DX-pedition to Lemmenjoki, northern Lapland,
Finland between January 6 and January 20. There is one unidentified I
would like to ask the readers to help me with:
1) On January 13.1 at 0030 UTC I had a pretty trong signal on 1580
during a good opening towards the eastern seaboard of the US. The
station was using a slogan as "Star 15-80". Which is the station? WSRF
Ft. Lauerdale can be excluded?
2) Heard during a DX-pedition to Lemmenjoki, Lapland (northernmost parts
of Finland) KKTL Casper WY announcing "AM 1400 K-Talk, KKTL, Casper,
Wyoming". The address to this station is missing in NRC's AM Log 1999.
Anyone who knows the correct address to KKTL?

Per-Ole Stenman - Jakobstad, Finland - per-ole.stenman@xxxxxxxx
In a letter received today from Salem station KCCS I found some
interesting notes regarding their transmission, could anyone in West
coast area comment on their sky wave signal today compared to previous
years?
AM 1220, KCCS is operating under Special Temporary Authority from the
FCC to use a temporary antenna, because we no longer have a broadcast
"tower". Around August first we put a three inch copper strap up the
side of a 75 foot tree on our studio property. We then "Top Loaded" it
using steel cables stretching from the 74 foot level to other trees in
the area. This is providing a decent local signal but probably doesn't
allow for a good departure angle so "skip" reception would be affected.
also, while we are 1000 watts in the daytime, we lower power to 171
watts at night. We are going to build a "Valcom" 74 foot fiberglass whip
antenna for permanent use. This will be a lot more efficient that our
tree, but still may prevent people in your part of the world from ever
receiving us again.

A quick note for you and all the Radio Listeners.... I am buried with
SWL cards, letters, etc from all over the US and even some foreign
countries. I am attempting to keep up, but due to other duties
(engineering emergencies mostly), I haven't been able to. If you could
let folks know to not panic and not think we've forgotten about them, we
will get the verifications out.
