** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Feb 10 at 2300, LRA36 is on again,
tnx to advance notice from Adrián Korol of RAE via Manuel Méndez. My
favorite Argentine SDR is offline, so I bring up another one with a
rather noisy signal, but 2301 s/on M&W chatting. It`s quite distorted
too and hard to understand, maybe fault of rx not tx? 2327 I try
Brasília and find it just as bad, so transmitter fault. Too painful to
keep listening. By 0000 Feb 11 modulation improved but now someone is
on a lofi phone line. 0013 into lofi music, but still mostly talk with
some distortion; very rapid and colloquial conversation, rather than
broadcast-quality speech with clarity and comprehension in mind. 0029
check direct: audible at S4 about the same as noise level. Argentine
SDR also has intermittent high noise cutting on and off (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Sat Feb 10 at 1044 UT when I happen to awaken,
``The Moldau`` is just ending and program ID as `Gameplay` -- so that
reconfirms the secret programming Sats at 4-5 am CT i first ran across
a few weeks ago. Still not acknowledged by KUCO in skedgrid nor in
alfabetical program list. I search it out, to much more info and
access to episodes:
https://www.interlochenpublicradio.org/gameplay
https://exchange.prx.org/series/39230-gameplay
This was once on the KUCO sked during an evening waking hour before
the massive programming shuffle a few months ago. Still undiscovered,
what other secret program occupy the previous hour, Sat 3-4 am CST =
09-10 UT.
Another recent unexpected change. Lane Whitesell`s post-Met unnamed
vocal fill-music show has been reduced by an hour, ending Sat at 4 pm
= 22 UT, with 22-23 UT now occupied by `Footlight Parade` an hour
earlier than before with 23-24 UT now containing `Dinner and a Movie`,
more cinemusic which I hear for the first time today, but whence? On
Feb 10, Met was shorter than usual ending at 1950 UT after love-duets
for Valentine`s Day, so Lane still had plenty of time to fill.
Another2 change I had not noticed before but does show on sked:
`Classical Guitar Alive` Saturday at 14-15 UT = 8-9 am CT, while
`Performance Oklahoma` replay has shifted an hour later to 9-11 am CT
= 15-17 UT; axually usually more like a sesquihour, but allows for
variable lengths. Original airing is at 7 pm CT Thursdays = 01 UT
Fridays. I would like to think that the latening results from a
request I made months ago that 8 am was too early on a weekend.
Since Kimberly Powell resigned a year ago, the new host has been
relying more on recordings of UCO faculty members` own performances,
rather than live events - that`s OK if there aren`t enough for a new
liver every week. I find his announcing style annoyingly stilted,
sorry; and he also needs some foreign language study.
Note that despite its huge roster of programs, publicradiofan.com
still has NO listings for `Gameplay`, `Reel Music`, nor `Dinner and a
Movie`! Searching on the last title leads to loads of hits, all about
a cooking TV show on TBS, revived last year, surely something else!
Adding radio to the search gets it: out of KCME Colorado Springs:

(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. I sent this to Matt Rogers, host of `Reel
Music`, i.e. cinematic, which is on KUCO 90.1 Fridays at 2 pm and
Saturdays at 11 am CT = Thu 20 & Sat 17 UT:
``Enough snackbar --- Matt, Thanks for Reel Music, which I always
listen to on KUCO, sometimes twice. While the vintage snackbar
announcements were cute the first time, may I please ask you to phase
them out? We listen to public radio to avoid hard-sell commercials!
While these are all in fun, they do clash severely with the rest of
the program. Why not have a contemporary hi-fi, soft-sell, perhaps
female, voice record exactly the same texts and run those for a while?
Regards, (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK``, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960.005, Feb 10 at 2303, VOT English not off the air,
S9+25/35 into UTwente. Final news item is about Turkish activity in
Antarctica on Dismal Island - or Disney? sounds like, and Horseshoe
Island; just as I am hearing LRA36 on another remote. 2310 into `The
Energy Agenda`, 2318 music. Too much else going on this hour to listen
continuously. 2349 more nice music. 2354 quick s/off as if the 1330 on
13635; 2254.5 IS got about an icosasecond before chopoff, no finesse,
uncovering XJRTV in Chinese, std denunciations (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. Pre- `AAAWWW` WBCQ chex into NH SDR, Feb 10 at 0046: 3265
OFF. 5130.273 ATATT. 6150.933 TOMBS. 7489.951 FKB. 9330.000v WLCR.
0100 start of show monitored on 5130+ which is not quite ATATT. New ep
since he refers to Tuck`s Putin interview. Always fiddling with
Angela`s mike at start. Talking about his antique autos. Spotchex
later, politix, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9475, Feb 10 at 1937, George McClintock calls for a
radiocheck as he has this WTWW frequency running. It`s rather weak and
fading here, maybe S6 before shutting off, while neighbor 9980 WWCR is
inblasting, S9+30. Says running about 40 kW on 9475, maybe less
favorable antenna than WWCR. Also says waiting on one part to get #1
transmitter going again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
