** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Jan 20 at 2300, this WRMI the only one
not on the air as I am about to check whether RAE Portuguese relay
would yet again repeat the 3-year-old `Atualidade DX` program. Jeff
White tells me WRMI takes feeds direct from Bs. As.; so if outdated
material airs, ask RAE about it. I already emailed Arnaldo Slaen but
no reply (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 9900, Jan 21 at 2320, ``Chung-kuo`` this & that with echo,

Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Jan 21 at 2316, RHC S9+20 of windhowl only; while

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, Jan 21 at 2302, piratemusic S9/+10, also at
2321 retune just before it chops off, then another/same? station found
on 6950 AM. Such behavior typical of Mix Radio International, and
that`s what it is per:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,157416.0.html
First reported at 1828 on 6950, later 6960. Obviously unconcerned
about giving the feds plenty of time to track them down (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Jan 21 at 1500 UT, another Wednesday
so time for another Oklahoma Emergency Ops net, but nothing. Oh,
starts late at 1501, YL NCS WSHM692 counts 12345, 54321 then roll
call, each call twice fonetikaly but poor reception makes many not
certain:

WQSY836, EOC, where?;
WNPV700, Durant EOC, Bill ans, no traffic;

WPFY721, Seminole EOC, Ernie answers; was NCS last week, or WPFY731?
WNBM839, Stillwater EOC;
WNBE830, Missouri state EOC, Jefferson City, Mike answers.
Compare to my report Jan 14: some called there are not even called
this week. Complete at 1507, asks for late checkins? One, JBA, then
terminating net till next week.
At 1508, WPFY721 calls WNBE830, making an early check-in to the
Missouri net which starts at 1530; discuss coming winter weather
warnings in both states. WNPV700 Durant also heard again until 1511.
Did not check 5140-USB for Missouri net at 1530, but at 1535, NCS
WNBE830 securing net, this one on 1st and 3rd Wednesdays (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

S5/S8 direct --- something`s notright at Noblejas; while 9690 has been
in tokEnglish since 2300, but only S9+10/20 direct and noisy, not

its competitor PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi in Chinese nominally from 2310 per
Aoki, i.e. East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom cultural

erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

absences, very weak tonal language, else? No, at 2311 it`s SMTV,
Supreme Master TV cult, mainly in English but segments in Chinese et
al. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1490, Jan 21 at 0701 UT, ``Top 20 in Fayetteville`` atop the
GY pile, and then ESPN mentioned. Arkansas? There are two 1490s in AR,
neither near Fayetteville. There *is* a 1490 in far Fayetteville NC,
WAZZ with AC/CHR format, which would be a great catch; and the ESPN
mention could have been some other station. Radio-locator shows WAZZ
with Top-40 format = 2 x 20; no website to see if `Top 20` be a thing
with them. NRC AM log also has a sort by city, showing one more
Fayetteville, in TN, but only 1240 WEKR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

first noted several months ago. KSNS on radio-locator.com leads to:

``KREJ 101.7 FM
Keeping Ready Expecting Jesus
KSNS 91.5 FM
Keep Singing New Songs
KREJ and KSNS are listener supported Christian radio stations
operating from Medicine Lodge, Kansas and serving south central Kansas
and northwest Oklahoma. KREJ carries teaching programs, drama, local
worship services, and a variety of Christian music. It operates on
101.7 FM at 50,000 watts. KSNS broadcasts contemporary Christian music
on 91.5 FM at 96,000 watts. Area volunteers are an important part of
both stations.
New Owner! The FCC approved the sale of KREJ and KSNS to Smile FM on
May 28, and the sale was completed soon after that.
Ed C., with Larry Martin’s help, has fixed the distortion and buzzing
that has plagued the KREJ signal for several months. Also, they have
switched KREJ and KSNS back to their original frequencies. KREJ
programming is now broadcast on 101.7 FM and KSNS programming is on
91.5 FM. Plus, KSNS is now using Smile FM programming. Visit Smile FM
to learn about our new owner and donate to support Christian radio in
south central Kansas!``
