KIHH 1400 AM 0606 UTC 17 Jan 2020
« on: January 17, 2020, 0650 UTC »
This signal from Eureka, California, running the Catholic-oriented “Relevant Radio” format, repeatedly rose above the rest of the mess on this frequency with “The Inner Life” call-in advice program. The loudest interference came from an unID country music station.

KIHH is listed as 790 watts at night; distance from me is 509 miles.

The UNID could be KBCK in Deer Lodge, Montana about 452 miles from your QTH riding a powerhouse 1 KW days and nights.

I thought about that. There also are country stations on that frequency in Cottage Grove, OR; John Day, OR; and Jerome, ID. My next challenge will be pulling out an ID from that overlapping mess.

KBCK, KNND, KJDY, KART are all good guesses.
Problem is that 1400 being a "graveyard" frequency the signal
could be from almost anywhere.   :-\
