A couple of interesting loggings
1290 kHz was an interesting frequency. KKDD in San Bernadino dominates it with Coast to Coast AM in our evenings. However, a couple of other stations raised their heads. One was KAZA in Gilroy, CA, near San Jose. It is a Vietnamese language station and we caught definite snippets of Vietnamese, including some numbers. I lived in Ha Noi for 2 years and I know Vietnamese when I hear it. According to various sources, it broadcasts on 88 watts at night. I very much doubt it was that, I suspect the day power had been left on (5kw).
At one stage during the broadcast, a station came up with a pop song. I managed to get an id on the song and artist, thanks to the Shazam app on my iPhone, but that was all. I did some research and given the stations we were hearing, I suspect it is KIVY from Crockett, TX. It is about the only station I saw thatw as in the right area with the right format.
I have written to both KAZA (with sound files) and KIVY in the hope they mgiht answer in the affirmative. I am very sure it was KAZA we heard, but not so certian about KIVY. Time will tell - I may get an answer .... or I may not!
