[Lowfer] KFI in UT

In throwing in my $0.02, a plot of what KFI (and other wandering 
friends) looks like in UT may be found at:

The absolute frequency isn't exactly 639 KHz (I didn't check calibration 
- but its within 1-2 Hz in this case) but at this distance (600 mi, or 
about 950 km) KFI is the most obvious signal on the plot - at about 
1008-1010 Hz.

As for station(s) that wander around, it seems to be in pretty good 
company - there are a few others that have frequency drifts of similar 
magnitude - no doubt (at least) partially to to ovens' cycling...

In the FWIW department, the local powerhouse here (KSL, 1160 KHz, 
50Kw/24h) appears so be an absolute rock-solid 2.16 (+- 0.02) Hz low in 
frequency during the time (20 minutes) that I observed its carrier.
