Default AM Station Information needed

1480 Khz..Spanish, most likely in Texas.

What is the power output of this station? It came in pretty clear
tonight in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

KFBK (1530) in Sacramento is usually pretty easy and a lot louder than
this station..

There are a number of possibilities - and if it was unusually strong it
might have been someone illegally using daytime facilities at night. (a
fairly common offense )

Barring recent format changes, there are nine Spanish-language stations
in the U.S. on 1480:

Phoenix, Arizona (1000/500w, directional, favors the north)
Santa Maria, California (1000/61w, non-directional)
Pueblo, Colorado (1000/107w, directional, mildly to the southeast)
Gooding, Idaho (5,000/93w, non-directional)
Mission, Kansas (1,000/500w, directional, strongly *disfavors* thenorth)
Dallas, Texas (5,000/1,500w, directional, favors the north)
Pasadena, Texas (1,000/500w, directional, mildly disfavors the north)
Spanish Fork, Utah (1,000w daytime only, non-directional)

and a station in Virginia that's VERY unlikely to be what you heard.

It's probably Dallas at 1500 watts - but if someone on day facilities it
could be any of these.

Another great reference tool is VirtualTuner.com which allows you to
find the station and then it generates a whole bunch of clickable
links with lots of information about each station.
