Its probably KKIN in Aitkin, MN. I've listened to the station before and the music you mention fits. Try to listen at the top of the hour (H +/- 5 minutes) for the station ID.

Another good station for music is 540 WXYG. They have no problem during the day making it to Minneapolis. During nighttime, they usually come in but may be some interference from a Canadian station.

KKIN is supposedly country music? Heart is definitely not country.


KKIN 930 isn't always country. I don't listen to them all the time, but they do switch a bit. The last song (up to 1900 GMT) was the Bee Gee's "Night Fever." At 1900 GMT, into news.

I have a feeling you're right, then.  Thanks!

Could've been this, I suppose.  No idea why it would be on 940, though....unless I happened to tune into a repeater/translator.

I can't tell you how many of my reception reports have gone for naught including one of the 2018 World Cup.  Congrats on your eQSL 👏.

Thanks much!

Last I heard was employ two u/vhf freqs and mix them inside the target brain.

Wow.  I have to hit the sack right now, but remind me to post about my own personal experience with this.  :-O

OK, here's a new mystery for people to solve. 

Tuning in using an SDR based in Minneapolis, I was surprised to hear music on 930 khz.  There are several competing stations here (as my recording will show); the station in question was playing Heart's "These Dreams" (an MTV hit from 1986!).  Though not in this recording, a bit later I heard the beginning of "I Want You Back" by the Jackson Five. 

Now comes the tough part; station identification.  At first, I thought our mystery station might be Canadian; however, there are only three Canadian stations on 930 khz, none of them playing that kind of music.  A check of nearby stations was of no help to me.  I did find that there is an oldies station and an "adult standards" station on that frequency.  Nevertheless, I'm still stumped, as I don't think that a mid-80s hit would qualify as an "oldie"; at least, not yet (and "adult standards" are usually songs from the forties to the mid sixties). 

Anywho, here's my recording of 930 khz, as heard on this particular SDR. 

930 AM

Can anyone figure out what my "mystery station" might be? I haven't a clue.

1905 - Granny from The Beverly Hillbillies "William Jennings Bryan has left the building" then OFF

Just to clarify, "Granny" said, "remember what William Jennings Bryan said.  Fight hard, but fight clean"

Jed - "But you ain't fightin' clean, Granny"
Granny - "'Course I ain't! William Jennings Bryan was a loser!"

Then "Elvis has left the building".

Thanks.

Swap meet in Windsor tomorrow (Feb. 8th) at Radio Museum, I plan on going.  Though the outdoor ones they have are better than indoors:

1726 sounds like old Judas Priest. Good song

Actually, that was fairly new Judas Priest, as the band goes.  From 2005...."Revolution"

Peaks to S9 here in the Boston burbs but moderate fading. "Feel Me Flow" by Naughty By Nature at 1738 UTC. "Radio Free Connecticut" ID at 1744 UTC.

Hey Beerus, that would be my Radio Free Connecticut you're hearing! Thanks for the report!
