Default Heard Jazz Music on 1410 kHz @ 4:27 AM PDT

Heard Jazz Music on 1410 kHz @ 4:22 AM PDT and more
Jazz Music throught 4:47 AM -but- No Radio Station ID.
- - - Heard on 30 OCT 2007

Consider all the possibilities on 1410 kHz starting with
CFUN 50 KW from Vancouver, BC Canada to KERN,
KMYC, and KCAL all here in California.

None that I checked on Radio Locator had a 'Jazz Music' format.

KRML on 1410 kHz is 500 Watts Days in Carmel, CA
http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin...&s=C&call=KRML
-but- only 16 Watts Nights and plays 'Jazz'.
* Carmel-By-The-Sea, California -USA-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmel-...ea,_California

So it had to be KMRL on 1410 kHz at around 4:30 AM
at 16 Watts and about 150 Miles distance. - Not Bad !

yes - i heard it while listening to my radio ~ RHF
