860 KKOW - Pittsburgh, Kansas - 11/19
« on: November 20, 2013, 0017 UTC »
Caught this one unexpectedly.  I'm still delighted at my good fortune hearing an ID like I did.  I like CJBC quite a lot, but it's a flamethrower and how!  XD  Here's the log I snagged last evening. 

860, KKOW, Pittsburgh, Kansas, 0013-0018.  Local commercials and sports talk, including a recorded clip of a touchdown in a football game.  Clear AM 860, KKOW ID at roughly 0016.  Signal fair at best, beneath or alongside CJBC in Toronto.  SINPO 32333. 

Now to get a definite ID on that classical station out of Ohio (?) I can occasionally hear beneath Toronto. 
Madison, WI, U.S.A. 
Tecsun PL-660, Yaesu FT60R handheld, and Realistic DX-398 (back up and running!) 
QSL's appreciated 

There's a geeklady turning that dial!
