Unid 9870 KHz 1400 GMT
 

This morning just past 1400 GMT I heard a station on 9870 KHz with what
sounded like U.S. AM/FM station ads and promos. "KFI" was mentioned a few
times. Strong signal into KY, around +20. Was unable to stay tuned long
enough to get an ID.

Anyone heard this before?

Also had a weak het around 2135 GMT from LRA36/Antartica, 15476 KHz. Could
not pick up any audio.

Not sure who the 9870 is. LRA36 typically operates from 1800-2100, Monday
through Friday.

KFI is an AM station in Los Angeles, on 640 khz. If that's what you
heard, it would be like a 14th harmonic or something, which would be
highly unusual but not unheard of.

Unfortunately 9870 doesn't work out to be any sort of harmonic of 640.

No I didn't think it was a harmonic, likely relayed or taped and
re-broadcast.

I didn't think so, but I didn't have a calculator handy to prove it.

I'm hearing Radio New Zealand coming up on 9870 at 1259, I'll check back at
1400. Perhaps they were running a program that you heard.

At 1400 I am still hearing Radio New Zealand putting in a good signal.
