** ANTARCTICA. 15475.971, May 23 at 1324, JJBBA carrier from LRA36 on
another active Thursday. All I am likely to get here, but one may
hear some programming via closer remotes such as Brasil (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1983, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 13870, May 23 at 1329, CNR1 jammer S8-S4 vs RTTY, // CNR1
jammer on 11785. At 1336 searched 10.9-14.0 MHz for more of them, but
none found; rather three just below 15.0:
14920, May 23 at 1336, CNR1 jammer strongest, // 11785 and also 9680
CNR1 jammers; 14900 and 14980, cannot make // so maybe really Sound
of Hope. Or // but not synchronized. Aoki shows 13870, 14920 and
14900 as jammed SOH from Miaoli, Taiwan; 14900 as SOH relaying Radio
Free Asia via Pingtung, Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. Correxion: exact frequency on May 13 was 13739.239 (like
other logs of it), not 13739.289, typo; fixed:
13739.239, May 13 at 1347, RHC S9+10 and auto-knocked off-frequency
again today. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 12200, May 23 at 0615, RHC English at S6-S7, 2 x // 6100:
MUF holding up; no harmonics from other 6 MHz channels, but two of
them are OFF: 6000 and 6060, while 6165 is on but VP; also fighting
high local noise level of S9 on 49m band. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1983, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 12000, May 23 at 1336, RHC Spanish is S7-S5 on 2 x 6000
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760, May 23 at 2153, RHC dead air at S9+10 while weaker
11850 successfully Spanishes. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 17550-, May 22 at 2133, MOI is once again a JBA carrier
slightly on the low side, yet achieving OSOB status. Not audible 24
hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, May 22 at 2136, RNZI audible S2-S3 with
something about the Andes. Now getting into deep-winter conditions
onto lower frequencies, ex-13840. Sked today shows: 2059-2258 11725,
then from 2259 13840, which usually improves during the evening here,
now running until 0459 for an hour on 9700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD
OF RADIO 1983, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, May 23 at 0631 check, VON still absent (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1983, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 92.1 WBFM, May 22 at 1830 UT on caradio, Spanish gospel
huxter, so KAMG-LP Enid is back on the air after 21 months! There
goes what would have been a prime frequency for the sporadic E DX
season. Altho a strong opening could override this.
Continuous preaching with praise music background, mentions Coahuila
several times, but phone 620-626-8282 for prayer petitions.
That would be KZQD-FM 105.1 in Liberal Kansas (not heard here, OK
station blox) which radio-locator.com claims is Radio Liberdad [sic],
in Spanish but not specifying gospel huxterism. WTFDA DB however says
it is Spanish religious, Radio Libertad. So the source of KAMG-LP?
But cannot be picking it up directly like a translator.
By 1900 UT in music only; 1902 ID in English as KAMG-LP, 92.1, Enid;
and in Spanish as ``Radio Vivir, 24 horas al aire``.
Yes Vivir, the infinitive, ``to live``, not Viva or Vida, as
confirmed by close listening May 23 at 0602 after praise music from
0557 UT tune-in; IDs a minute or two past top-of-hour, clock running
slow? Then plugs and seems to intro same Liberal, Kansas predicator
as 11 hours ago, but back to more praise songs.
WTFDA FM database does have it currently as 68 watts H and V of
silence from a horizontal-only height of 37 meters
No mention of Maranatha which it was previously affiliated with as
satellator:
http://www.maranatharadio.com/stations
now forwards to https://www.raybentley.com/
as Maranatha Radio with podcasts in English; stations include WRNO
7505 but no OK FM, and no times for any.
FCC and Radio-locator.com claim still owned by Maranatha Radio Corp.
Far from its roots as a real local station, but FCC approved sale.
Previous KAMG-LP info as in DXLD:
OFF as of 1/31/19, and before that as of 2/16/18
Last logged ON, but distorted as of 8/25/17 in DXLD 17-35
It was back after dead air for weeks, as of 8/20/17, in DXLD 17-34
Follow-up about ex-DXer John Broomall involvement, DXLD 17-30
John Broomall involvement, Community Christian Broadcasters,
discussion of FCC info listing address as 627 E Carrier Road, which I
visited without finding it, only residences, in DXLD 17-27 -- which
refers to earlier discussion in DXLD 13-41, q.v.
The original transmitter site I visited when first on the air is a
couple miles further west on the other side of US 81/60/64 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 12030, Thu May 23 at 2157, REE music fill of that majestic
bullfight theme, after presumed Arabic and not // 11940 & 9690; 2200
timesignal and `La Linterna Magica` about the cinema; podcast archive:
http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/la-linterna-magica/
Not laterna; now all // (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1982 monitoring: a problem with
both stations Wednesday May 22 at 2100: WRMI-10 is still having big
problems on 9955: no signal before or after 2100, but I leave a
receiver on 9954-USB to notify me if it come on: which it does at
*2116, S8-S9 JIP WOR --- but cuts off again at 2124*. By 2130 it`s
back on for Wavescan.
WBCQ 7490.17v: WOR poorly audible at 2104 --- but it`s the previous
week`s 1981! With Ron`s Bhutan logs. 2129 music fill, and then, and
then, at 2130 --- WOR 1981 repeated! starting with QSL for
Antarctica. You may recall that last week, WBCQ did this: 2100
Goddess Irena, 2130 WOR 1981, swapping their previous times. If two
WORs are to play in a row, please make it the penultimate, and then
the ultimate. But who knows what may happen next week.

** U S A. 9955, May 23 at 1318, WRMI-10 is off again. Must be having
serious problems, supposed to last until 1400; also came on for only
8 minutes of WORLD OF RADIO yesterday. 9395 on and easily audible as
usual. 9955 was not always on the #10 transmitter, as shown on the
current skedgrid. Perhaps they can change to another, but not all
transmitters can be connected to any of the antennas, and this one is
supposed to stay at 160 degrees. #4 is currently off completely,
maybe out of order too? It had been on 9455 at 160 degrees. Several
other transmitters are much less than full-time and might be
available (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5890, May 23 at 0620, WWCR dead air at S9+10; 5935 with PMS
is OK, and 3215 with Brother Scare, but 4840 is also dead air (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12050, May 23 at 1335, WEWN Spanish is distorted and
splattering (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, May 23 at 1406, KVOH unusually propagating S9
already this early shortly after sign-on; but I don`t find any
significant sporadic-E activity on 6m or 10m maps --- so the Es MUF
could be as low as 18 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13152, May 23 at 1333, beeps = carrier cutting on and
off, at slightly uneven rate of about 24x per minute (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17590, May 23 at 1409, something JBA, the OSOB except
for 17775 KVOH. HFCC only lists Saudi Arabia in English at 1200-1500!
But *any* English from there is surely imaginary. Possibly a special
from Vatican Radio, which EiBi and Aoki show using 17590 at other
times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
