Help wth MW catch needed
 

I heard the following on a recent DXpedition on MediumWave
1520 Khz, 0456 UTC with ID "Asian Radio fifteen twenty"
I have had various opinions on this.
One said it could be "WTRI", Brunswick, MD.
as they sometime carried Korean programming.
but WTRI is supposed to be "daytime " only, and the time would be about
00.30 A.m. summer time around Washington, DC.
Also others claim WTRI are now doing "Vegas" format.
Yet other suggestions we
KYND, Cypress, TX.
Anybody got any ideas on IDing this??

How clearly were you able to hear them? Is there any chance they could
have said "KB radio 1520"?

"Asian Radio fifteen twenty"

Nothing you could hang a QSL card on, but WWKB in Buffalo, NY and
KOMA in Oklahoma City, OK are both 50,000W around-the-clock stations,
and both are markets big enough to have a Korean-based show (even if on
very late at night!) Those look like the only other likely candidates.

Thanks for that Tony, but
"KB Radio"/WWKB are running music at that time = no Asian
and
KOMA are running golden oldies
both according to their websites

Thios is a long shot and I have no idea how to verify this but years
ago I was stationed in the Phillipines and Asianradio 1520 was one of
the Enlgish language stations that used to be on the air.
Also fyi WTRI is about 50 miles south of my QTH and signon is at
1145UTC woth the so-called "Vegas" format of pop music.

Wow, WKBW in Buffalo! I used to listen to them when I was in high school
living in Bangor, Maine, along with WABC in NY, WMEX in Boston (Arnie
Ginsberg and the Night Train Show), and WPTR, Albany I think. Rock 'n Roll!
