** CANADA. 97.3 & 99.3, CKUA relays during huge sporadic-E opening
July 11: included in full report under USA [and non], as well as 95.3
CKWD Calgary; 95.5 CHLB Lethbridge AB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13160, July 12 at 1359, JBA music, no timesignal and runs
past 1400+, could be Firedragon. Gone at 1422 recheck. Before 1400,
only other WOOB presumed CNR1 jammer was 13530 JBA carrier (Glenn

** CUBA. 6060, July 12 at 0628, humbuzz on RHC English about
something, ignoring the anti-government demonstrations across Cuba;
6165 OK; 6100, 6000, 5040 all off. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
5025 Rebelde playing music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 7435 & 7335, July 12 at 0624, R. Marti in a rare
extended broadcast beyond usual 0400* or 0500*, VG signals here and no
jamming audible altho it often runs overtime against nothing; and also
on weaker 6030. Because, of course, of the widespread and never-before
anti-Communist-government demonstrations. Seems to be live discussion
of this by host and various exiles if not dentro-Cubans. Assures Cuban
listeners they are getting worldwide press attention; leaders blame it
on the US, of course. Keeps going past 0700+ with no ID break (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, July 12 at 2300, RHC English S9+25 marred by scratchy
noise and hum, something always wrong at RHC. We were wondering how
they would play the outbreak of anti-Communist demonstrations around
the Greatest Antille; or just ignore them? No, that`s the lead story,
but of course with the Commie government spin I try to summarize. What
Pres. Díaz-Canel said about it on TV. Blames the ``criminal`` demos on
social media and the USA waging unconventional war on the island.
Emphasizes counter-demonstrations by those supporting The Revolution.
One of the complaints is power outages: Matanzas power station is
being repaired and should be back online Tuesday. Dig at the American
``blockade``. Admits infexions are at their highest level now since
pandemic started; etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 93.3, XHPS Veracruz: one Mexican during huge sporadic-E
opening July 11: included under USA [and non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Re my remarx about how little Woodward has a lot more
radio stations than big Enid: it still does, but Enid/Lahoma/North
Enid has 6 full power, on 95.7, 96.9, 97.7, 103.1, 106.3, 107.1. Not
including too many translators and LPs, sounding just as strong at
local range; nor some nearby but non-Enids such as 89.7, 90.5 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR) Also some OK mixed in with Es FM DX: USA [and non]

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday July 12 at 2309, REE English after news,
Justin Coe goes into third edition of twice-monthly `DX Program`.
Obviously non-scripted, says he`s working from home where temps are
above 30C, so windows are open letting in plaza noise, sirens, barx,
kids, buses revving, animated discussions, but also a pleasant breeze.
Anyhow, ``the noise of life in the big city``.

While sufficient, the signal at S8 has some deep fades to S1, and even
at peak I never hear any such noise distraxion. Also working from
home, I am conscious of noise such as trains, planes, TV in the next
room, but rarely detectable on my playbacks. Says the new studios at
REE they can`t use have good soundproofing, but nothing like the old
ones which were double-doored like a submarine.

This ``DX program`` really a mailbag is all about one e-mail received
3 July, from our very own Alan Holder on the Isle of Wight, which
Justin has never visited. Alan has been listening to REE since 1977.
Recommends a Roberts Sircon? 94-I internet ``radio`` where stations
can be easily stored. Laments Alison Hughes` early retirement. They
agree she has a great voice for radio [so does Justin]. Coe`s device
makes a ping when a new e-mail arrives. What about her replacement,
Amy Egan? Is she on permanent staff? No, semi-permanent more like an
intern with lower pay for 6 months; but she is tech-savvy unlike J&A.
Justin managed to get a front-row seat to a performance by Segovia in
Germany, 1984-85. Still open for suggestions on title for this show,
e.g. as Alan proposes: `Radio-Waves` was used before; You Write Us;
We`ve Got Mail; Nos Escribe.

2222, about to play some outro music for Alan, by another guitarist,
Marc Ridot whose albums JC has bought several of; this one from Songs
of Resistance 1942-2018, about partisans vs Italian fascism, ref.
website indivisible.org accompanying singer Tom Waite who has a rather
croaky voice I can`t understand, finally plays at 2225 until 5+1
timesignal at 2230. Maybe this will repeat on Wednesday as happened
last time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Huge sporadic E opening monitored from 2044 UT
July 11 after seeing DXMAP MUFs above 100 MHz including one patch
around New Orleans which should be just right for DX from Florida at
twice the distance.

It`s notable that during this entire opening I never got anything
below 91.9 even tho the MUF went up to 105? I kept bandscanning across
the NCE band, but no DX even on the semi-open channels 88.1, 89.5,
89.9, 90.7. Almost as if this sporadic E were above a ``lowest usable
frequency``. States and provinces: FL, Veracruz, ID, OR, WA, MT, AB,
VA.

These are in time order, ALWAYS UT, and I have spent a lot more time
researching afterwards than ~3 hours tuning, all on the caradio in hot
garage, vertical antenna so no manipulation there and no extra gain.
And all on my own receiver in real time, no recordings made. Also had
DX-398 as standby at least for some RDS readouts, but never got any.

After each log I copy the WTFDA FM Database listing; eliminating
duplications of H&V kW power and H&V antenna height above average
terrain unless in rare cases they differ. Headers at the FMDB are as
follows; in many cases some fields are blank or duplicative:

Callsign Relay of Frequency City S/P Country Mode Lang Format Slogan
ERP-H ERP-V HAAT-H HAAT-V Lat-N Long-W PI Code PS Info Radiotext PTY
Remarks

Many of these lack a definite ID, but I make best guesses based on
PTA, format, what is said, choosing full power stations rather than LP
or translators. Since I am not counting stations, states or anything,
nor QSLing, these presumptions are not a problem, but my best effort
at identifying what has come in. Some OKies/Kansies included as I run
across them hoping for Es DX instead.

I go to all this trouble, out of quality interest in the details; as I
find those who go for quantity, with minimum one-liner details to be
virtually unreadable, unless searching for some clue later. Also of
course, this is how I want my log archive to read. Distances are
approx., city-to-city, not site-to-site.

94.3 at 2043 and for many hours afterwards, once again as on previous
Sundays, my nearby Enid local KLGB-LP is open carrier/dead air, so
makes it a little easier to pull stations on 94.1 & 94.5. Its RDS
still displays KLGB even when tuned down to 94.05. Someones at the
other ends could have DXed it that way. But why don`t they just turn
it off?

97.3 at 2044, S Florida ad for Diamonds Direct in Boca Ratón, come see
at the mall. I`ve tuned up the band and this is the first DX signal
noted. After adstring, ``Back to the music on The New Hits, 97.3``.

101.7 at 2301, fading dead air CCI to nearby KREJ Medicine Lodge KS
gospel huxter, still 2314: Alberta has no full-power 101.7, likely:
KWGF 101.7 VAUGHN MT HOT AC STAR 101.7 93.4 kW-H 62.3 kW-V 273.0 m
47-36-24 111-21-31 --- 1674 km = 1040 mi

89.3 at 2305 and entirely earlier, semi-local KIEL has been silent,
but carrier seems on abutting 89.1 local translator; recheck at 0054
July 12 it`s finally modulating:
KIEL 89.3 LOYAL OK RELIGIOUS TEACHING RADIO 74 INTERNATIONALE 3.8 kW
47.0 m 36-03-43 98-12-41

95.5 at 2308, YL says ``Today`s Country 95-5``, timecheck as ``just
after 5:00`` so must be MDT or CST: There are NO ``today`s country``
anywhere; not even any country in ID or MT but Alberta has two:
CHLB-FM 95.5 LETHBRIDGE AB CAN COUNTRY COUNTRY 95.5 100.0 kW H&V but
173.0 m HAAT horizontal, 0.0 m vertical; huhhh? 49-46-47 112-52-18

CHLB in southern AB more likely than CKGY midway
Calgary/Edmonton:

m 52-19-10 113-40-41 [2163 km - 1344 mi]

97.3 at 2310, ``Bulay-bulay`` classic rock, and then a mojo song, //
99.3 CKUA-FM-2. So this is another CKUA relay:

flagship in Edmonton nor any of the other relays around the province
thruout the band ranging from 2.5 to 100,000 watts. More below

100.3 at 2313, lo-fi NWS severe storm warning for north central
Montana overrides; 3 tones and back to music; 2319 praise music. It`s
KLSK Great Falls again as above

104.7 at 2315, adstring for NAPA Know-how, paper ghostpodcasts,
Discover card, Allstate Ins; ``The New 104-7 The Bull``, another
sponsor in Newkirk; so my semi-local only:
KQSN 104.7 PONCA CITY OK COUNTRY 104.7 THE BULL 25.0 kW 89.0 m
36-47-21 97-02-53

99.3 at 2319 song in some Portuguese dialect? 2324 // 97.3 so still
CKUAs; with one radio I can`t tell if synchronised. Outro as from Cape
Verde on `World Spinning` show with Mark? Clark but sounds like a YL;
no, she`s Lark Clark per CKUA program sked; CKUA ID in passing

94.5 at 2327, soft rock, CCI about heat wave in Washington State; 2330
Country Top 40. Not necessarily really from WA but how about:
KATS 94.5 YAKIMA WA ROCK KATS FM 100.0 kW 277.0 m 46-31-59 120-30-14
---- 94.5 KATS --- 2188 km = 1360 mi

Opening is still going but at this point after 165 minutes, I need a
break from intensity and uncomfortable hot car. Resuming UT July 12:

94.5 at 0052, EZL music, fades, still against dead air on 94.3 local;
unID, no clue yet about wherefrom

96.5 at 0056, ad for residents of Virginia to get guns legally at
home, and thebudgun.com (?) More likely goodgun.com. 0058 ``Classic
Rock 96.5, WK##``, CCI; 0100 KRAV Tulsa ``Mix 96.5`` takes over:

104.5 at 0105, rock song with audio cutting out again, as KZZW
Woodward OK has suffered before; wake up?! CD player skipping?

102.5 at 0059, Bott Radio Network ID JBA, must be KS or OK:
KKCV 102.5 ROZEL KS RELIGIOUS TEACHING BOTT RADIO NETWORK 100.0 kW
148.8 m 37-57-28 99-25-45 --- 241 km = 150 mi
Rozel? Never heard of it. Nor in regular atlas, but large-scale, pop.
156 just west of Larned, next town Burdett another tiny town with a
big radio, why? (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, July 12 at 0630, JBA carrier presumed RV. I`ve not
been following this closely whether harmonicizing or not on 3945 for
starters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, July 12 at 0636, JBA carrier, S7 better than 11835
Vanuatu, but no modulation audible. Since my last report:
