3:05 3:25 utc listening to Russian language programming  1690 khz AM  S9+30
On occasion KDDZ Radio Disney in Arvada Colorado comes up above this signal then fades back and KFSG rises up back to S9+30
3:30 utc English language public service advertisement then dead air to 3:34 utc then back into Russian language tune??

During the dead air time the strong carrier continued but KDDZ could only be heard very weak at best.

No Id's heard by me but a search for Russian language broadcast on 1690 khz brought up information from several sources
including Wikipedia on KFSG 1690 khz AM  Roseville California, 1 kw night  10 kw day - I have to wonder if they forgot to go to night time power levels tonight?

After the last Russian sounding tune program switched to  "elevator music"  This stations programming definitely sounds like it is on "auto pilot"

4:01 utc Lots of public service announcements then KFSG ID - sort of - as part of a disclaimer "The views expressed blah blah blah", back into Russian language program.

Nice going.  I had a tentative reception of these guys on Halloween night, two years ago during an amazing x-band opening to the West coast.  I never could pull out an ID from the Russian programming though.
