** CUBA. 15140, Sept 7 at 2056 into Knoxville SDR, RHC already off;
had been on for English at 1930 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710 S9, 6000 S9+25, 11760 S9+5, Sept 8 at 0636 all these
RHCs are still on very late but with dead air! Somethings always wrong
at RHC. Also earlier per Walt Salmaniw, BC: ``Tonight (UTC Monday)
just an empty carrier on 6000 and 9710, and a buzzy transmitter
without any modulation on 11760 (at 0420). Walt`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Sept 8 at 1406, RHC S5/S6 of dead air; but at
1407/1408, Spanish and music on 13780 S6/S9 and 11760 S8/9+5. No
signal on 15140. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** GERMANY. Sept 9 at 19-20 UT: ``Sent: Sunday, September 7, 2025 at
05:30:10 PM UTC --
Subject: "Night Air" - live from Bergen - Norway. Testing the day
after tomorrow. Hi Glenn,
there will be a live test-transmission on Tuesday (European) time from
21:00 CET to 22:00 CET. In case this is successful, there will be
about two months of live transmissions from Norway via SWR on 3975 and
6160 kHz daily. Of course this affects one or two outlets of WOR. I
will contact you later.

This Event from Bergen is an Art-Festival: 
https://en.bergenassembly.no/2025
Site will be updated soon, as they are having to concentrate on the
starting session.
Please no QSL-requests. Just a report, you are listening. They do not
know about QSL's. Someone might teach them, though ;-). Our link so
far:

So the WOR broadcasts between 19 and 20 UT that would be lost are:
Monday & Wednesday at 1930 (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1570, UT Mon Sept 8 at 0448, XERF with ``Coahuila en La
Hora Nacional``, i.e. breakaway from national feed for second half of
weekly show - which I am not easily hearing on any of the other major
Mex `clears`: 540, 730, 900, 940, 990, 1050, 1140, 1220. At 0501, XERF
outroduces that, then choral NA, which again I am not hearing on any
other frequency; 0503 followed by Coahuila anthem with M soloist,
orchestra. 0505 ID as `La Poderosa, 1570, cien mil watts, y XHRF
103.9, 4 mil watts, plus address, phones, ``IMER, somos radio
pública``. 0507 ``La Hora de las Complacencias``, YL DJ inviting
record requests, ``buenos días`` now lunes. So must be observing CDT
as a border station, rather than HCM. While better than the others,
I`m not convinced XERF is really running 100 kW.

Here`s the Coahuila state song:

** OKLAHOMA. 1390, Sept 8 at 0447 UT, local KCRC Enid is OFF!
Substation 1640 KZLS is still on with stupid sportstalk. Yeah, who
needs KCRC? Identical programming on two local AM stations, what a
waste. And KZLS has greater coverage. See U S A for what else I could
hear on 1390. Still off at 1413, 1633 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004-, Sun Sept 7 at 2205, VOT English not off the air
for a change, S9+20/30 into UTwente. Already got `Letterbox` on 1830
broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW 5085: George McClintock informs me UT Sept 8 at 0100,
latest problem is that a 40 or 45-year-old high-voltage relay has
failed, and a new one costs $ 20K; looking for one on EBay. Maybe back
on air by UT Saturday 0300 WOR time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9865+, Sept 8 at 1410, splash from 9930 WTWW with TOMBS at
S9+20/30, audible down to here but not so much on the upper side
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re Sept 7 log of 1160 KCTO Cleveland MO, transmitter site
right on the KS/MO state line, With a previous log of the 94.1
station, I had found: ``But searching finds the long. of Stateline
Road is 94°36′26.7″W``. Therefore, KCTO site at 94°36'28.80" W is in:
KANSAS! Now I wonder what the axual distance from the border be at
that latitude when it`s 2.1 seconds of longitude away? This is,
assuming that Stateline Road be precisely on the real border. In such
cases, FCC ought to be explicit about which state antennas are in, for
the benefit of DXers - ha (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) To which Eike
Bierwirth, AL, replies:

``Missouri. The four towers are located on a parcel owned by Alpine
Broadcasting Corp, owners of KCTO. That parcel is located east of the
state line and administrated by Cass County, Missouri. If the tax
assessor of a Missouri county knows it's in his realm, that's where it
is. Always follow the money.

For any piece of land in the US, you may find the public record
usually through the Tax Assessor's website of the county in which the
land is located. In this case, here:
https://cass.missouriassessors.com/parcel.php?gid=10900

which contains ownership information of Alpine Broadcasting Corp, two
photos and a sketch indicating four towers, which not only correspond
to what you see on Google Maps/Earth but also to the four towers
prescribed by the FCC license for KCTO (fccdata.org is your friend.)

There even is another parcel of land between the KCTO towers and the
state line, also with a tower on it. So not just a few feet. The tax
assessor reveals that that land is owned by Verizon, so that's got to
be a cell phone tower.

Even just putting the FCC coordinates into Google Earth could have
been enough to answer this question pretty clearly as you end up right
next to the four towers you're looking for (if you looked at the
license.) Eike`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1390, Sept 8 at 0447 UT, local KCRC Enid is OFF! See
OKLAHOMA. Now there`s a pileup of unID signals like most other
`regional` frequencies. At 0453 I make out some Spanish music. NRC AM
Log has about seven SS of various ilx, none very close except for KDQN
De Queen AR, but supposedly a 500-watt daytimer. IRCA Mexican log shows
two, the closer being 1/1 kW XEOR Reynosa with NWS/VAR format
including music.

1390, Sept 8 at 0455 UT, one signal slightly atop the others in
absence of KCRC, sports talk mentions Buffalo Bills, not // WSCR 670,
then mentions ESPN, better on E/W loop than N/S shortwire; just before
0500 ID: ``WTJF Jackson, Sports Radio 94 FM, 1390 AM`` plus some
others I couldn`t catch, maybe translators. So this is: WTJF Jackson
TN, U2 5/1 kW, net and slogan also check in NRC AM Log. Radio-locator
shows night pattern with a notch to the WNW but it`s due east from
here, while day pattern is ND (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 8 at
0427-0435, tuning upward in USB in 9-kHz steps 1 kHz below 9/kHz
channels, to hear a 1 kHz het: 684, 711, 1125, 1305, 1413?, 1422? Then
same in LSB 1 kHz above channels: 684, 855 with SAH of about 1 Hz,
1035?, 1107 SAH, 1125, 1305 SAH, to 0436. Sub-audible heterodyne
refers to regular fading between two carriers on slightly different
frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 773- kHz, Sept 8 at 0427, again carrier not fitting into
the 10 or 9/kHz frequencies, slightly stronger than any of those, and
very slightly on minus side. Maybe something localish, but wonder if
anyone else hear this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
