** BRAZIL. 11780, Oct 9 at 0150, token English from RNA/RNB, S9/+10
into Bonaire SDR, and JBA if any on 6180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Oct 9 at 0620 UT, dash and YXL, 1000-watt NDB
at Sioux Lookout ON, JBA. A good indicator of normal vs auroral
conditions when it doesn`t make it, but the most reliable of the
Canadians now. 1597 km = 992 miles (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 21800, Oct 9 at 1404, JBA carrier with heavy Doppler
flutter, presumed CNR1 jammer of SOH. Is from western China / East
Turkistan, to propagate now and thus? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Oct 9 at 1406, RHC music undermodulated with squeal,
S9/+15. At 1407, 15230 is S7/S9 in dead air; at 1409, 11760 S8/S9
music OK modulation; SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2316)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 15410, Oct 9 at 1408, Chinese talk and music
mixing, S9, but maybe so in original programming rather than jamming
vs victim, S9 direct. Aoki shows CRI in Mandarin from Kashi-Saiba this
hour only; the radio war only until 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1230 kHz, Oct 9 at 0605 UT, my closest, WBBZ Ponca City,
manages to stay atop the graveyard pileup, ``Hometown Radio, WBBZ``.
Not a slogan in NRC AM Log, rather ``Sunny 1230``. Kraig Krist`s
exhaustive MW slogan list shows: ``1230 WBBZ OK Sunny 1230; Oklahoma's
Legendary AM 1230; 1230 News Talk``. I haven`t listened enough to
decide whether it`s one, the other or the other. radio-locator calls
it ``Newstalk 1230``. Linked website
https://www.poncacitynow.com/wbbz
also labeled Newstalk 1230. Year-by-year history until 2015:
https://www.poncacitynow.com/wbbz/history/
starts with:
``1927 – Charles Carrell was a pioneering theatrical and radio
entrepreneur. He owned a theatrical booking agency in Chicago and in
New York. Once he heard his first radio broadcast, he was hooked. He
applied for and was granted licenses for ten portable stations, and
arranged their financing. WBBZ was not one of the original groups, but
Carrell acquired it while it was located in Indianapolis. The call
letters, WBBZ, were derived from a slogan used to identify
Indianapolis — World’s Busiest Business Zone. All stations in the U.S.
at that time began with the letter “W”.
For a time, WBBZ toured the country with the Redpath Chautauqua
circuit, presenting programs of professional talent. Frequently, local
talent was highlighted along with the professional groups. Harry Kyler
managed one of the original ten stations for Carrell, WIBW in Topeka,
Kansas. From Indianapolis, he took WBBZ to the Broadview Hotel in
Wichita. Then, in 1927, Kyler brought the station to Ponca City for a
week-long test run at the Poncan Theatre. Kyler, impressed by Ponca
City, suggested to Carrell that a station be located here
permanently...`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1062.88 & 1352.74, Oct 9 at 0610 UT, the TV set closest
to my NRD 545 puts considerable carriers on these frequencies when
turned on; they are 289.86 kHz apart. Is that a significant frequency
in TV set circuitry? At 1832, local mean noon Oct 9 I add and subtract
to check for other MW spots: yes, there they are at 1642.60 --- and
much weaker 773.02! So THAT explains the JBA non-TA carrier I have
been getting on 773. Next time if the TV be on, I`ll turn it off to
make sure. Next down would be 484.16 kHz, but nothing audible there.
The TV set is an Element, model ELEFW328, made in where else CHINA and
claims to be Part 15 compliant (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 89.7, Oct 9 circa 1540 UT, The House FM, usually $ tereo,
is mono into caradio. Its strongest signal here, I thought this was
the originating station, but comparing to 88.5, with Stereo icon, is
running about 8 seconds ahead of 89.7. WTFDA FM DB does show 88.5 KZTH
Piedmont OK 50 kW as relay of KJTH 89.7 Ponca City 100 kW, not vice
versa! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, Oct 9 at 0622 UT, DDP, 2 or 3 kW ND
beacon at DoraDo airport of San Juan. Perhaps I shall eventually quit
relogging it, but still enjoying is reaudibility after months unheard.
3676 km = 2284 statute miles (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 344 MCW kHz, Oct 9 at 0619, ND beacon JA: 400 watts from
`Dinns`, JAxonvil FL, per RNA list. One of my furthest domestix, about
one kilomile: 1648 km = 1024 mi. Local LW/MW line noise level remains
intolerable, but JB low enough to audiblize this as well as Canada,
and Puerto Rico, qq.vv. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
