** CANADA. 6754 USB, June 10 at 0632, Trenton Military not off the
air, Split VOLMET at the moment, poor signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, June 10 at 0631, JBA signal presumed pirate
Station YHWH, in another late run (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA.  Incredibly, this entry is still in the WTFDA FM Database
as of June 10, 2025:

``K226BR KIMY 93.9 93.1 ENID OK USA 0.25 0.25 0.0 0.0 36-23-48
97-52-38 SOUTHERN GOSPEL THE GOSPEL STATION 156415``

IT HAS BEEN GONE FOR OVER 12 YEARS, AS I ORIGINALLY NOTED ON May 27,
2013:

``93.1 K226BR, the one which provided
straw-sucking-on-almost-empty-cup sounds, has been off for a few weeks
now (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``  

I have occasionally mentioned its absence further once every year or
two. I don`t know whether it still be licensed, but the fact that it
is LONG GONE ought to be noted. 73, (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

The FCC seems to disagree:
https://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?call=k226br&filenumber=&state=&city=&freq=88.1&fre2=107.9&serv=&status=&facid=&asrn=&class=&list=0&ThisTab=Results+to+This+Page%2FTab&dist=&dlat2=&mlat2=&slat2=&NS=N&dlon2=&mlon2=&slon2=&EW=W&size=9
(Brian Beezley, K6STI, WTFDA FMDX-NA iog)

Despite what's happening on-air, it looks like the FCC granted
the renewal of its license on May 20, 2021. -- (Rick Lewis, ibid.)

``Added to the record for K226BR... ``This station noted OFF multiple
times since 2013`` - That should help clarify things a little. Mike```
Bugaj, WTFDA.

A little; altho I have obviously not monitored 93.1, 24/7 for 12+
years, I should be extremely surprised if anyone could prove it were
*ever* on the air. I wonder if its ex-primary KIMY 93.9 Watonga know
of the situation (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. MORE ENID FM UPDATES: This station still has not yet gone
on the air, and the Part 15 OG&E downtown on 95.1 has remained off:
``KOKJ-LP 95.1 ENID OK USA 0.1 0.1 29.0 29.0 36-24-13 97-52-40
788786``

This one has changed to relay 99.9 as below, no longer KLVV, several
months ago as I reported at the time: 

``K253BC KLVV 88.7 98.5 ENID OK USA 0.25 0.25 0.0 0.0 36-28-3897-58-14

** OKLAHOMA. 104.7, June 10 at 0504 UT, KQSN Ponca City, dead air in
$ tereo again - only result of yet another fruitless Es FM DX bandscan
prompted by some recent paths into OK on DXMAP. Maybe just for an
automated ToH newshole? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, June 10 at 1423, TOMBS via WWCR still
blasting S9+40. However, big news from Wavescan is that the BS
ministry is about to quit SW; more on the next WS. This may have a
drastic effect on most private US SW stations depending on that cash
cow, if they can stay on the air at all, reducing other programming
hours? But they will no longer be so embarrassed or subject to
ridicule.

At 2214 direct, TOMBS on WTWW 9930, S9+20/30 and exactly 10 seconds

The Rule of Idiots

This report dispatched at 1855 UT June 9

** OKLAHOMA. We were up late June 7 past 0700 UT in case of tornado
warnings; lots around but missing Enid. Made quick check of local FM
dial for anomalies. Off the air: 95.7, 107.1. Wx info maybe from TV
station: 89.7. Relaying NWS advisory at 0713: 106.3. Regular schedule
with music or talk: 97.7, 100.9. By 1545, 95.7 & 107.1 on the air;
maybe had power failure  at site rather than damage (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR) More FM: See U S A

** TURKEY. 11785.006-, June 7 at 2200, VOT English not off the air and

** U S A. Sporadic E MUF circa 98 MHz, NEXUS central Illinois and some
paths almost here on DXMAP, so I check the caradio June 7 at 1735+ UT.
Several complete bandscans but no DX heard. Spoiler fringe station
tend to fade in and out like ionospheric skip, e.g. 88.1 a strong
`This American Life` on public radio, 1757 UT battling with KMSI Moore
Oasis Network, but JBA ID by 1759 as KGOU, i.e. KWOU Woodward OK. Some
Wichita signals above normal, like 98.7, 95.1. All I can do is note
some anomalies, such as 94.3 at 1806, JBM with ``bubbly`` talk, likely
the Bott mono in KS, yes, finally resumes normal modulation at 1807,
and // 95.1 in OK.

91.5, gospel/praise rock, June 7 at 1737 UT and later, NO big hum.
Steady signal, and no ToH ID caught (or sent?), circa 1800 but surely
KSNS Medicine Lodge KS, which had been hummy for weeks - so no longer
a clue for DXers.

101.5, at 1740 UT, Spanish but with English words such as `Countdown`
and adstring, Heritage for the Blind, 800-314-5027; Aerolíneas
Low-Cost, 800-261-5094 -- that is apparently an aggregator, not name
of one airline. Finally ID as ``La Mexicana, 93.9 y 101.5``, i.e. KSMM
Liberal KS, 100/100 kW, relay of KSSA 105.9 but // KZRD 93.9 per WTFDA
FM DB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
