** U S A. 7730, May 16 at 0604, WRMI
with gospel music, presumably // 5850. This hour most days is blank on the WRMI
skedgrid, and formerly filled with `World Music`. I am afraid the WM music loop
has been retired, as we no longer hear any of the familiar tunes (except
sometimes as filler for a minute or three between programs on various
frequencies). Altho ``Up2 & Away`` was done to death, we miss most of the
others. Same applies to the 14-15 UT hour on 11580, following Ukraine weekdays
until 1400 and before BS starts at 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

UT, yes, KBXD Dallas has a new ``renter`` --- Spanish monolog preaching,
Jesucristo-this & that, and plugging newly on 14-80; mostly below KQAM which
I can`t null completely, making a 72/minute SAH = 1.2 Hz. It`s a pain to have to
listen to the latter, with a Wichita local host Trumpster, still partisan to the
corrupt, treasonous, incompetent, mis-elected Trumpence regime. The preacher
mentions another AM frequency before 14-80, which I have trouble copying; at
1239 UT brief CCI from a third station with praise music. KBXD fading down as
hourtop approaches, but 1258 UT canned English ID as heard befoe, ``KBXD, 1480,
Dallas``, a bit of music, and then Spanish ID mentioning Wylie-Dallas-Fort
Worth, studio address, fade; 1301 UT a 972 AC phone number, YL now; 1302 UT
Spanish song and repeated requests by a different OM for reception reports, how
far are they reaching now that they have 50,000 watts on 1480, Waco? I finally
copy the first frequency definitely as 700, and apparently going to do this
until next program at 8:15 am CT. So 1480 is duplicating 700 KHSE, CoL Wylie,
which counts upon only 1500/920 watts U4. Too late this morning to get it, altho
under best conditions is barely audible on groundwave and at night skywave with
plenty WLW QRM.

B LLC sells 1480 KBXD Dallas to Chris Muse for $1.5 million plus a $13,000
payment to break the station’s tower lease``
So it`s not only been rented
but sold. What`s this about the tower lease? Are they moving somewhere else
again? BTW, right next to it from Venta is an item about Amarillo 99.7 Fun FM
called ``KBXD`` as well, but WTFDA shows its correct call is KBZD (Glenn Hauser,
