KCKN 1020 AM 0708 UTC 9 Nov. 2020
« on: November 16, 2020, 0441 UTC »
Heard this one from Roswell, New Mexico, when I noticed another station with contemporary Christian music in Spanish behind Yakima's KDYK, which runs a similar format. By 0715 UTC, KCKN was dominating the frequency for a couple moments and rose again at 0727 UTC, matching the station’s online stream and the music heard via an SDR in New Mexico.

This runs 50 kW; distance from me is 1,359 miles. (Sorry for the delayed logging of this)

Yep, type "Groom Lake" into Google, and that area of Nevada comes up as Area 51. I did learn a few things by listening to Art Bell back in the day. Not sure how many of them were true, but ...  :)
