KMTL 760 Sherwood, AR Sept 2, 2013 0455Z
« on: September 02, 2013, 0452 UTC »
Discovered that WJR had company tonight. Nulled out WJR and the other station peaked N-S. They gave a nice long ID around 0423Z as 760 KMTL in Sherwood, AR. Station is putting in a good 45433 at max with fades down to 15421

Found them around 0315Z playing music with no breaks (that I heard) until 0423Z with the ID. Checked again at 0455Z and gave their ID again, then back into music.


The odd thing is that they're a 10kW non-directional daytimer and 0455Z is way past sunset. The FCC says their sun sets at 0015Z, and in August the FCC sunset time was 0100Z.

Somebody forgot to shut off the transmitter.  :-X

We have a local 5kW daytimer on 770 that's fairly wide that takes out 760, so once they came on, that was it for KMTL for around here. At least until tonight.
