[tvdxrools]

hi i got this on the 26/2 at 0700 on 1420 it was the what i think was an id then followed what i can only describe as soft rock country style music ... the id is replayed 3 or 4 times i think http://www.geocities.com/tvdxrools/ only problem with that site is if too many have downloaded the clip it shuts down for a wee while .. cheers david .... ayrshire scotland

This station seems to be giving an identical ID on a repeat basis, with no audio in between the IDs (i.e. a DX test).

Despite it's low power, WFLT would not be impossible, since it is the northernmost active station at it's longitude. A once made a visit to WTIQ, Manistique, a class C station on 1490, and was surprised to find a DX report from Finland on their corkboard. Turns out WTIQ is the northern most station in the region on 1490. In a typical TA opening, all the 1490s would be lost on the crowd - but if the opening ended at the 45° parallel, WTIO would be pretty much alone.

That said, I doubt it is WFLT. It sounds more like WFGC, or any of literally hundreds of calls that would sound just like it.

sorry i forgot to mention that i let the id run in a loop 4 times so its not the station who is repeating the call its my recording .... david h
