** CUBA. 13700, Aug 27 at 1346, RHC is S9+10 but just barely
modulated, while 13740 is nominal, S9 to S9+10. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Fulfilling dire warnings all day, a major storm
hit the OKC area (but not Enid!), the evening of Aug 26, early UT
August 27, resulting in the major TV stations blowing away their
entire primetime schedules for wall-to-wall coverage. Mike Morgan on
KFOR even called it an ``inland hurricane`` since winds were up to 80
mph. Caused a lot of damage, with hail, flooding, many power lines
down; up to 85 kilocustomers blacked out at peak per OG&E
Systemwatch.

Not until 0542 UT do I start checking whether any radio stations are
affected, and some are, even in the Enid area:

1520, Aug 27 at 0542 UT, KOKC is dead air, still so at 0554; I can`t
hear its FM translator on 95.3 either, whether off or dead air as it`s
marginal anyway.

1640, Aug 27 at 0545 UT, KZLS ``Enid`` (Hennessey) is dead air, maybe
because it`s programmed out of OKC. Still at 0554;

however at 0552 I nulled its carrier as much as possible to hear
another station with music. Normally it`s WTNI Biloxi MS, reported in
MW Circle as ex-sports:

``** U S A. 1640 WTNI [Biloxi MS] --- Yesterday I moved my antenna
from its summer position (about 270 degrees) to the winter one (about
300). LA has been a dead loss from here this year although to be fair
I have been away a great deal.

I was rewarded with good reception today after months of very little
(conditions I think rather than the antenna move working a miracle).
It's probably been reported elsewhere but I noted that 1640 WTNI seems
to have abandoned sport. ID noted as "This is Classic Country 103.5
The Possum". Also 1680 KRJO noted with "99.7 My FM" [Monroe LA]
(Paul Crankshaw, Aug 21, MWCircle yg via DXLD)

Thanks, Paul. WTNI used to simulcast 1490 WANG sport "The Champ". The
change of 1490 WANG to "103.5 The Possum" and country format was
reported in March in MWN. However at that time 1640 WTNI retained the
sport format. Neither NRC nor IRCA have subsequently reported that
1640 WTNI has now rejoined 1490, ditching the sport format for
country. Wikipedia says that this change occurred in June 2019, but I
can't find independent confirmation.

KRJO's slogan "99.7 My FM" appears also not to have been reported by
NRC or IRCA. The format change to Adult Contemporary was noted in
March 2019, although the format, slogan and repeater 99.7FM addition
all date from 2016 according to RadioInsight
https://radioinsight.com/headlines/107211/99-7-myfm-debuts-in-monroe/
73 (/Andrew Brade, ibid.)

Hello Andrew and Paul, 1680 KRJO noted by my addition to last year`s
NRC log and in 2019/20 log. 1640 WTNI still shown as ESPN in 2019/20
NRC Log and now amended. Best wishes & 73s (Barry :-) Carlisle UK.
Lat. 55.0119N, Lon. 2.9668W, Davies, ibid.)``

1000, Aug 27 at 0550, KTOK OKC is still on but audio breaks up; by
0616 dead air.

Other OKC AM signals seem nominal at 0550+, 930, 800 and 640.

Then I check FM from 0554 Aug 27:
88.3, K202BY Enid is dead air instead of Family Radio. It doesn`t take
a storm for this one to fail, again & again. Still dead all day
105.5, K288FX North Enid is dead air at 0602 instead of relay KYLV
88.9; resumed by 0500 UT Aug 28, gospel rock and K-Love 88.9 OKC ID

In OKC area, major FMs are still on, EXCEPT
93.3, KJKE Newcastle, not heard at first, but then at 0554 weakly;
QRP? from 100 kW? Or possibly storm interfered with propagation
98.1, WWLS-FM The Village is definitely off at 0555, still off at
1313, and 1600 UT; still off or QRP? at 0500 Aug 28
98.9, KYIS OKC, definitely off at 0555, still off at 1313 but on by
1600
100.5, KATT-FM, definitely off at 0555, still off at 1600; but 1619 on
caradio, OKC area ads, so suspect it`s also QRP
100.5, KTFR, Chelsea OK, 25/25 kW, 92m, is presumably the Spanish I
hear briefly overcoming weakened KATT, Aug 27 at 1615 UT on caradio;
Chelsea is in NE corner of OK on Hwy 66 between Claremore and Vinita
103.5, KVSP Anadarko, 100/100 kW, 600m rimshotter into OKC market, is
dead air at 1613 UT, but rock at 1622.

I had not checked OKC DTV stations during the storm, but bandscan Aug
27 at 1817 and 1930 UT finds RF 15 and 16 missing! I.e. TBN 14 and
Daystar 46, nothing but gospel huxters. Both KOPX and KOCM-DT are back
at next check 0450 UT Aug 28, but KOCM signal is Bad, mostly not
decoding (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 100.9, Aug 27 at 0558 UT I notice that the new K265FL
Enid translator of KGWA 960 is displaying on RDS as KGWA-FM! Is there
no rule against imaginary callsigns on RDS? And still no stereo
pilot, altho I have not checked during the detestable Sean Hannity,
whenever he`s on (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1580, Aug 27 at 0546 UT, emergency sounder and warning from
NWS Tulsa about storms in NW Arkansas, also loops E/W and not // 1020
KOKP; so this must be KHGG Vam Burem AR again, rather than KOKB
Blackwell OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1996 monitoring: turned on UTWente
SDR and tuned in 7290, Monday August 26 at 1814 to hear me already
halfway thru WOR at the YHWH item! But 1815 cut to Aïda theme, 1816.5
re-start WOR 1996. Usual very strong and loud signal, modulation just
below the distortion threshold, from IRRS via ROMANIA, but with some
deep selective fading distortion. This can be considerably reduced by
LSB or USB tuning, or even better, synch.

Also confirmed UT Tue Aug 27 at 0127 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, poor in
HLNL. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15550-USB, Aug 26 at 2112, WJHR gospel-huxter still
reactive; tho very poor level, would you believe he`s stronger with 1
kW PEP than biggies 15825 WWCR; and 15610 WEWN inaudible (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1130, Aug 26 at 1915 UT on caradio I notice that KLEY, 250
watts in Wellington KS, is back on the air, the first time noticed
since at least May 3. I haven`t checked for it every day but I`m sure
it hasn`t been for more than a week. 1929 ID as ``The Wave 100.3`` as
they have kept the ``translator`` of a silent AM station on the air as
I confirmed that at local range July 10. I`ll bet 1130 is gone again
before long, but it`s still JBA Aug 27 at 1943 UT vs HLNL (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 92.9 WBFM, Aug 26 at 1959 UT, Spanish music, unusual to hear
on this channel; 2002 ID as ``La Mexicana`` on 92.9 and 101.5, with
calls which are: 92.9 KMML Cimarrón KS, 32/32 kW, 186.0 m. 101.5 KSMM
its Liberal KS relay, 100 kW. Cimarrón is between Dodge and Garden
Cities on US 50/400, 274 km = 170 miles from here. I have heard KSMM
before when it was substituting for another Spanish absent, KOCD
Okeene OK nearby --- not still silent as still shown in WTFDA DB.
There is still a bit of tropo boost in the afternoon (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Aug 26 at 1500 UT, Hepburn map predicted level 4 high tropo
enhancement around here, more than maps have shown in a long time, but
very little DTV DX to be seen; just Bad signals on RF 20 and 34,
probably Tulsans. 24 hours later as much or more allegedly into Kansas
but I don`t have a chance to bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9538.3-USB, Aug 27 at 1940, 2-way INTRUDER in Spanish
JBA very intermittent, ``cambio`` = over, literally ``change``, copied
at least (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6754-USB, Aug 26 at 0533, Trenton Military, with weather
for Thule as ``temperature 4 at 0456`` --- wow, how hot for 76.5
degrees north in the ``night``, as Greenland continues melting. Don`t
recall hearing CHR mention Thule before, but must show occasionally in
rotation. Some others are ``no report received`` as they never receive
all reports. I suppose there are no commercial flights ultimately
landing at Thule, other than emergencies as it`s right along some
nearly trans-polar routes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 9215, Aug 26 at 1443, JBA Chinese? on a *jammed Sound of
Hope frequency; nothing else WOOB found in the 9s, 10s or 11s (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11670, Aug 26 at 0121, S8/S9+10 of dead air; while 11700,
11760 and 11850 are S9+10/20 with good modulation except 11700
suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13660, Aug 26 at 1401, JBA music enough to match to RHC on
13700 & 13740 which are S9+20 and S9+30 respectively during `Sonido
Cubano`. So this is a leapfrog mixing product 40 kHz down (but no
match on 13780 40 kHz up), or if you insist, third-order
intermodulaton. By 1437 recheck, 13740 is off and so is 13660.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 11610, Aug 25 at 2201, S4-S6 of dead air;
must be MWV not turned off after 21-22 Chinese hour to Europe.
Transmitter not needed for next broadcast, 22-23 on 11790 Chinese to
Europe, or 11965 Chinese to China? Not recalling those frequencies, I
do not check them.

(At 0119 Aug 26 I notice an S6-S8 JBM signal on 11610, wondering
briefly if MWV still be stuck? Rather WEWN English allegedly eastward
to Africa in its nightmiddle, which is never a decent signal here)
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 12030, 11940, 11670, 9690, Sunday August 25 at 2203, all
four REE transmitters are still on playing their earworm IS. All VG to
G, even 11670 normally the least of them here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1996 monitoring: not confirmed
Sunday August 25 at 2153 the 2130 on WRMI 7780: JBA carrier in S8-S9
high local line noise level; and this week do not expect a
confirmation from Richard Langley since he`s away from NB.

Confirmed UT Monday August 26 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9+10 in HLNL
after usual Rudy Espinal canned ID at 0129:30; also on // 9395,
S9/S9+10, but *much* louder and less noisy.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 26 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, same as 0130.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 26 from 0302.5 on Area 51 webcast after live
JL runs over again; JBA vs HLNL amounting to S9+10 on WBCQ 5130.34v at
0327 check.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 26 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, S9/+20 VG,
immediately after familiar song with Czech lyrix. Next:

** U S A. 7315, Aug 26 at 0128 tune-in, no signal from WHRI -- until
*0129 after it has changed beam from 173 to VG 260 degrees for Voice
of Vietnam relay, JIP during totally off-topic break about Tanzania
from Voice of Martyrs. HFCC shows VOV 7315:
0000-0300 English at 25 degrees
0030-0130 Spanish & English at 173 degrees
0130-0200 Vietnamese [! really English] at 260 degrees

** U S A. 10100, Aug 26 at 0328, JBA carrier, presumably second
harmonic of 5050 WWRB TN, which Paul Walker, WY, had just reported
with a much stronger signal. I had not heard this for over a year;
possible only during the limited UT Sun & Mon activity of WWRB, and
not in the B-seasons when on 90m instead. Then it would be worth
checking for 2 x 3185, 3195 or 3215, whichever in use, on 6370, 6390
or 6430. Whenever such a WOOB mystery arise, first thing to try is
dividing by two (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 780, UT Mon Aug 26 at 0142 UT, `StarDate` just ending on
WBBM Chicago --- probably reliably at 0140, also UT Sun? Our Okie
affils KUCO & KWOU skip it on weekends (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 760, Aug 26 at 0150 UT, WJR is nulled as I am trying to ID
the Spanish LAH on the minus side, but more signal is coming from
something in English with ``Place for Mom`` national ad but then Glen
Beck plugging his show ``tomorrow at 7 am on Freedom 93-7, Real News,
Real Talk``. That`s now the branding of KDSP Thornton CO = Denver
market, U4 50/1 kW, obviously a flip from NBC Sports as of a year ago.
0159 UT ad with 303 areacode, 0200 Fox ``news`` sounder. I wonder if
KDSP employ digital signal processing?? Rather the call was likely
denoting ``Denver SPorts``. Now, FCC AM Query shows it`s KDFD as in
``Denver FreeDom``, since 6/25/2019. Official LSS in Aug is 0200 UT;
September 0115 UT.

As for 93.7, it`s a mere 99-watt translator in Lakewood, K229BS
[apropos call!], wagging the 760 dog; WTFDA DB still shows it
originating with ``KDSP`` 760 but does have the new slogan ``Freedom
93.7`` [sic, with a point] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 760-, Aug 26 at 0143 UT, WJR Detroit in Michigan
talkshow suffers from a low audible het on the minus side. I pull some
Mexmx by nulling WJR, i.e. NW/SE, but it`s hard to tell where this QRM
peak, as there is more QRM from Colorado really from the NW [see USA
log]. At 0156 an SHVA in Spanish but can`t copy any ID. In the NRC AM
Log 2018, the only USSSes on 760 are two Floridians, both on at night
but with wrong formats: WLCC Brandon 1 kW religious, and WEFL Tequesta
1 sesquikW ESPND; even less likely two Radios Progreso in Cuba.

Could it be Mexican? The most clockwise is on the AZ border, XENY
Nogales, Sonora. Was slightly off-minus, 29 months ago per mwoffsets:
``759.9898 MEX XENY-AM Radio Xeny (Nogales) 2017-03-25``
i.e. -10.2 Hz which unseems quite enough for the LAH I hear. While WJR
itself was only 0.2 Hz high as of a dekamonth ago. IRCA Mexican Log
last year shows XENY 5000/100 watts with music formats, but no mention
of offfrequenciness. Perhaps someone closer can confirm its exact
frequency (and existence) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

DX program on R. Aparecida, `Encontro DX`. Immediately mentions the
station a few times, but made up of several segments with very
different voices. 2217 it`s a report by a slow talker from the DX
Clube do Brasil about the futuro das ondas curtas. There is slight
pulse jamming bleed from Cuba on 11860 until I switch to LSB tuning.
2221, report from Paraíba by Amaral(?), fast talker, full schedule of
RAE relays via Okeechobee very rapidly, but I heard one incorrect
frequency, 9455. 2225 Daniel Camporini mentioned, Argentine DXer. By
2229 has drifted down to 11855.73 or so and show is not over: now a
RAE guy is speaking Spanish with a porteño accent, about how many LRA
stations there are around the country. 2233 mentions DX Clube sem
Fronteiras, outro this show ``Encontro DX na Rádio Aparecida, nos
sábados``, finally ends at 2235, then some whistling.

The 11855+ signal rated S6, fades to S3; I then compare it to RNA on
11780: S8-S5, so ZYE954 is providing a respectable signal considering
the 250:1 kW power differential --- or is one a bit less, the other a
bit more? I have to look this up in a previous WRTH since the 2019
had deleted all four Aparecida SW frequencies! Finally I check the
other one propagating at 2238, 9630.4 as it too is always
off-frequency, rating S4 vs local high noise level.

It`s great that a Brasilian station allows such a DX program to exist.
As in DXLD 19-33, a certificate is being issued for reception reports,
so I am copying this to them hoping they don`t mind some English:

** CUBA. 5025, Aug 25 at 0621, S9+10/20 of dead air from Radio
Rebelde, except for some hum. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1996 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
August 24 at 2100:00 on WRMI 9955, S9/S9+10 but upcut JIP as I say
``---1996``; after IS & ID loop from at least 2058, as the automation
continues to be misaligned, starting playout a few seconds before
switching sources; independent asynchronous clox?

Also confirmed UT Sunday August 25 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, VG aimed
thisaway, but still fadier than co-aimed 7570 with BS, which is closer
to one-hop.

Also confirmed UT Sun Aug 25 at 0336 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Missouri,
S9+30 including storm noise level making copy difficult, but during
item on YHWH about 17 minutes into, so started circa 0319. Next:

** U S A. 9955, UT Sunday Aug 25 at 0035-0045, WRMI with beautiful
gospel harmonies in Spanish, but 0045 abruptly cut to gospel huxter
`La Verdad para el Mundo` with a bit of lo-fi harmony, introducing el
evangelista Philip Gray [sp? sp?], who speaks very good but not quite
native Spanish. What`s the harmony show? Sked shows 0115-0145 UT
Sundays is `Buscando la Verdad`, while 0145-0200 is merely `La
Verdad`. Perhaps they be related; show titles are often truncated to
fit in the fields (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
