Heard 'KXA' ID on 1520 kHz @ 3:05 AM [PST]
Country Music {Rocky Mountain Music}


Nothing local on the frequency now. They must be on holiday.

KXA-AM [KKXA] 1520 kHz @ 50 KW
from Snohomish/Everett{Seattle}, WA -circa- 2011

....maybe... KKXA-AM Last of the 50KWs

Funny that they picked the second harmonic of the old KXA. To properly
resurrect the old KXA, they would be running dreary classical music.
And running a dipole on the roof of a local department store. (The
last medium wave wire antenna in the country, I think.)

Isn't the mega-talker in Sacramento that runs/(used to run?) HD-Radio
on 1530 or 1540? Having 50kw in their digital sideband would sure screw
that up.
