11760, S9+10 huge windhowl noise; 11880, S7/S9 of dead air; 5990 at

** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Dec 1 at 2030 UT, OG&E `Tree of Lights` in downtown
Enid, still on, but dead air in $ tereo when I check. It might still
resume over the next month with music like last year past Xmas. I
photoed the sign about it, much like last year. New one:
https://www.w4uvh.net/95.1_OG&E_Enid_1225.jpg
It`s still on but DA in $ at 1810 UT Dec 2, audible more than a mile
away, but not enough to completely block the KS & OK fringers normally
vying on 95.1 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 93.1, Dec 2 at 1810 UT, while checking the 95.1 OG&E in
Enid, I also notice a stronger deadair in stereo on 93.1, which is
normally clear for the fringer in KS if not southern OK. Haven`t
driven around yet to assess its range, but used to be a translator
here, still licensed as in FCC LMS: 93.1 K266BR, #156415, Donald
Williamson, P O Box 246, Weleetka OK 74880, licensed, expires 6/1/29;
as of 7/24/07, site on the decrepit Broadway Tower in downtown; so I
have emailed him: ``Mr Williamson, I am hearing an open carrier in
stereo here in Enid on 93.1 MHz, so I wonder if this is your K266BR
which used to translate KIMY, about to resume after several years off?
Or it could be someone`s idle RF feeder such as in a car. Regards,
Glenn Hauser, Enid`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 1 at 2300, not off the air, timesig and VOT S/on
