[Scan-DC] 1640 KHz AM

[Andrew Clegg]

Found this is an old (2003) post from "World of Radio" (http://www.worldofradio.com/dxld3223.txt). This may be CIA?
** U S A. Washington, DC Mystery 1640 kHz KJI955 
Fwd from the broadcast list. Anyone in NRC hear it? (Bob Foxworth, NRC-AM via DXLD) Viz.:
This morning's mystery message on 1640 kHz was to announce that ahelicopter would be landing in Langley Fork Park between 6 AM and 8 AM as a part of a US Government exercise. Station must be at CIA / Langley. This might explain why the FCC claims to know nothing about the KJI955 callsign being used. Perhaps the call is from a block of calls used by NTIA or some other government department, which I believe can authorize spectrum use by government entities (Larry Vogt, N4VA, Springfield, VA, via Foxworth, ibid.)
Might indeed, but the FCC is supposed to have those in their database.  I did a number of TIS authorizations via NTIA and they always ended up in the database...eventually... Did the message note that the helicopter would be all matte black with no designations?  :)(John `WLOYPROF`, ibid.) I have heard the KJI955 call while driving past the CIA HQ exit in Langley on the GW Parkway on some X-band frequency, though I don't think it was 1640 (David Yocis, Washington DC, Dec 10, NRC-AM via DXLD)
NTIS wouldn't have any calls. A 3x3 call looks like an original TIS/HAR call, which may be expired or renewed with an update. Hard to tell (Russ Edmunds, Blue Bell, PA, ibid.)

> I can't immediately find a listing for KJI955 in the FCC's ULS, Broadcast, or Traveler's Information Station databases for this area, but I have not exhausted my search options yet.
