I have analyzed the FCC schedule as follows for next DXLD:
** U S A. We select certain stations from the complete FCC B-04 list below.
Keep in mind that these registrations may exceed actual usage, taking into
account possible alternate frequencies, anticipated expansion of services,
etc.
First, some ``wooden`` registrations for stations which have not been on the
air for years, or ever, or not yet.
KIMF in Piñón, NM, which has a CP for several years and has registered 5835
and
11885 every season, is now MISSING from the FCC list. Have they given up? As
someone who visited the remote site pointed out, for one thing it lacks a
water
supply.
WRNO New Orleans has been inactive for years, lacking a usable transmitter,
but
keeps on the schedule anyway, on the same imaginary frequencies as always:
7355 2200 0300 WRNO 50 20 3-5,9-11,27 1234567 311004 270305
7395 0300 1600 WRNO 50 20 3-5,9-11 1234567 311004 270305
15420 1600 2300 WRNO 50 20 3-5,9-11,27 1234567 311004 270305
WWBS in Macon, Georgia, which has been silent for a couple of years since
the
owner died, still exists as a wooden registration in its extremely limited
schedule which was only 4 hours per week!
11900 0000 0200 WWBS 50 30 3,4,9 1 7 311004 270305
WMLK in Pennsylvania STILL hasn`t started using its new 250 kW transmitter,
even at half power, but the schedule keeps showing it, including a NEW
frequency, 9265 instead of 9465, but what about the old 50 kW transmitter
which
they have been using on 9465? This schedule obviously shows two transmitters
in
use at the same time during much of the period. In fact, they have yet to be
reported on 9265, 9955 or 15265 ever. If both WMLK and WRMI use 9955 to
their
full extent, the latter all the way from 1600 to 1300, they will collide:
9265 0400 0900 WMLK 125 53 27,28,39 1234567 311004 270305
9265 1600 2100 WMLK 125 53 27,28,39 234567 311004 270305
9955 0400 0900 WMLK 125 53 27,28,39 1234567 311004 270305
15265 1700 2200 WMLK 250 57 27,28,39 1234567 311004 270305
We find WINB, Pennsylvania on only two frequencies: no 12160 this season:
9320 1100 1300 WINB 50 242 10,11 1234567 311004 270305
13570 1300 2300 WINB 50 242 10,11 1234567 311004 270305
9320 2300 0500 WINB 50 242 10,11 1234567 311004 270305
WJIE in Kentucky is only accounted for with one transmitter on two
frequencies:
7490 1000 2200 WJIE 50 155 11-13 1234567 311004 270305
13595 2200 1000 WJIE 50 55 9,27 1234567 311004 270305
Some other minor stations with only one transmitter or one frequency:
KVOH Simi Valley CA, has not actually used 9975 for several seasons, but:
9975 0100 0800 KVOH 50 100 10,11 1234567 311004 270305
9975 1300 1500 KVOH 50 100 10,11 1234567 311004 270305
17775 1500 0100 KVOH 50 100 10-12 1234567 311004 270305
KJES, New Mexico, no changes, but their operation has been somewhat
sporadic,
and I think is not 7 days per week at all times, despite:
7555 0200 0300 KJES 50 335 2,3 1234567 311004 270305
7555 0300 0330 KJES 50 20 3,4,9 1234567 311004 270305
11715 1400 1500 KJES 50 70 3,4,9 1234567 311004 270305
11715 1500 1600 KJES 50 350 2,3 1234567 311004 270305
11715 1600 1700 KJES 50 150 10 1234567 311004 270305
15385 1900 2000 KJES 50 270 55,58,59 1234567 311004 270305
15385 2000 2100 KJES 50 100 11 1234567 311004 270305
KAIJ near Dallas, nothing but Dr. Gene Scott, note the azimuth to the
northwest, remains:
5755 0000 1400 KAIJ 100 320 2,3,34,35,45 1234567 311004 270305
13815 1400 2400 KAIJ 100 320 2,3,34,35,45 1234567 311004 270305
Note that WRMI`s usage includes two transmitters instead of just one, altho
the
second one is not yet on, here in time order to show this in two groups. It
might make more sense to group these by the two azimuths, but then the times
would not mesh:
6870 0000 1300 WRMI 50 317 2,3 1234567 311004 270305
6870 1300 1600 WRMI 50 160 10-13 1234567 311004 270305
9955 1600 2100 WRMI 50 160 10,11 1234567 311004 270305
9955 2100 2400 WRMI 50 160 10-13 1234567 311004 270305
9955 0000 0600 WRMI 50 160 10-16 1234567 311004 270305
9955 0600 1000 WRMI 50 160 14-16 1234567 311004 270305
9955 1000 1300 WRMI 50 160 10-13 1234567 311004 270305
15725 1300 2400 WRMI 50 317 2,3 1234567 311004 270305
WWRB: we won`t pull out its frequencies, but note that the newly activated
3185
did not make it to this schedule.
There are NO listings for WHRI, which had been reported until recently
operating a limited schedule in addition to what is now their primary
outlet,
WSHB. For example, 5835 had actually been from WHRI in Indiana for a while,
but
not now:

** ALASKA. Extracted from the official FCC B-04 schedule (see USA) here is
KNLS; altho it looks similar to the one in previous issue, it is NOT the
same,
and this one shows effective dates, including monthly changes during the
season, all 100 kW:
7355 1000 1100 KNLS 285 43,44,49,54 1234567 311004 300105

The English hours are at 0800 and 1300, so extracting further we have these
frequencies planned for the next pentamonth, but the info is contradictory.
For
the 0800 broadcast, we have two frequencies shown in the Dec 26 to Jan 30
period, and none prior to Dec 26; one of them, the higher one, 9690, is
likely
actually in use now until Dec 25 [NO! 9615 is actually in use currently at
0800
--- see Noel Green, below]

1234567 300105 270305
We finally have the answer where KNLS should be for the entire B-04 season
during the English hour at 1300, contrary to other listings and KNLS` own
website, leading us to believe it would be on 9690. I have yet to confirm
9615
at 1300, however:
9615 1300 1400 KNLS 270 24-26,34,35,44,45,50,51,5
