Hmmm... maybe that's why haven't been hearing it lately.
Looks like the station had a long and interesting history right up to the end.

You bet.....98 years in radio ?!  Wow, only 2 years  short of the Hundred Years War and probably, at times,  just as bloody.   ;D

1430 KHZ @ 03:57 UTC.  Commercial block including 1 for  Tax Relief.com  and ID @ 0400  with "CBS SPORTS" ID with a short NBA  news update.
Also a feature on Jimmy Garapolo.

Erratic but decipherable signal on the new Tecsun PL-990x with the Tecsun AN-200 MW passive loop.
