Jazz Music throught 4:47 AM -but- No Radio Station ID.
- - - Heard on 30 OCT 2007
Consider all the possibilities on 1410 kHz starting with
CFUN 50 KW from Vancouver, BC Canada to KERN,
KMYC, and KCAL all here in California.

None that I checked on Radio Locator had a 'Jazz Music' format.

KRML on 1410 kHz is 500 Watts Days in Carmel, CA
http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?sr=Y&s=C&call=KRML
-but- only 16 Watts Nights and plays 'Jazz'.
* Carmel-By-The-Sea, California -USA-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmel-by-the-Sea,_California
So it had to be KMRL on 1410 kHz at around 4:30 AM
at 16 Watts and about 150 Miles distance. - Not Bad !

Yeah It Was "12 AM" In The Morning (00:00) -aka- Midnight

See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.m.#Confusion_at_noon_and_midnight
There really is no such thing as 12:00 a.m. or 12:00 p.m.
I wish we would go on 24 hour time like the rest of the world.

Art,
-If- The Rest-of-the-World was really on a Time 'Metric' like the
"Metric System" then there would still be 24 Hours in a Day :
However there would not be 60 Minutes in an Hour -but-
100 Centi-Minutes (cm) in an Hour with a like number of
100 Centi-Seconds (cs) in a Centi-Minute.
24 Hours = One Day = 24 Hours
60 Minutes* = One Hour = 100 Centi-Minutes**
* 60 Seconds = One Minute
** 100 Centi-Minutes = 100 Centi-Seconds
One Centi-Minute {Decimal} = 0.6 Minute = 36 Seconds
One Centi-Second {Decimal} = 0.36 Second

Telamon,
I assert my "American Heritage" Dictionary
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.m.#Confusion_at_noon_and_midnight
Midnight {Start of the Day} = 12 a.m. [12AM] -aka- 12 Midnight
Noon {Middle of the Day} = 12 p.m. [12PM] -aka- 12 Noon
i never get the two confused -cause- i know . . .
darkness / midnight -and- sunny / noon ~ RHF

A large part of the Western Hemisphere is on 12 hour time... including most
of Latin America.

KOMA put in a very good signal in on the Oregon coast (I'm thinking that was
supposedly out of their pattern). It was one of the stronger signals we
could hear in Astoria at night. Others were KFI, KNBR, KFRC, KFRE, KTWO,
KBOI, KING, KIRO, KDWN, KGO, KSL, KOL, KGA... et al. KOMA was interesting
though in that we had a 50KW signal only 70 miles away on the same
frequency.
