Glenn Hauser logs July 18-19, 2022  View Printable Version 
Wednesday, July 20 2022

Hauser
** BRAZIL. 4985+, July 19 at 0634, JBA carrier a smidge on high side
vs heavy RTTY circa 4987. Presumed R Brasil Central reactivated but
never any good here unlike 11815v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9664.888, July 19 at 0643, RVM S4/S7 with hymn, almost back
to nominal 9665 after many months drifting upward to 9667 and jumping
lately almost to 9675; so they are finally trying to normalize. What
next? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 7850, July 19 at 0628, CHU is JBA on its lower sideband,
mainly on the USB with carrier reduced. Someone found this unusual,
but I had not paid attention to the LSB otherwise. Too much noise to
discern if 3330 be likewise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, July 19 at 0631, RHC is S9+20/30 in wrong language
Spanish while 5040 is off; while English remains on 6060
undermodulated with hum, S9/+20; at 0632, English also 6165, S9+10/20.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, July 19 at 2202, R. Cairo English very distorted
with hum but somewhat readable, S9+35/45 into UTwente. Something`s
always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 17530 & 17790, July 19 at 0629, JBA relay signals still
making it here in the summer nightmiddle, but nothing higher-latitude
on 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, July 19 at 1524, Voice of Martyrs Korea,
S6/S9 with Christian stuff in English; is there ever any Dhivehi any
more? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. When looking up DX stuff on the WTFDA FM Database, I
curiously search on language:English for all of MEXICO, and get only
four hits, all border stations in TJ obviously for the foreign market.
What about other border cities? And remember when deep inside XEland,
at least the DF had an English station, at least on AM, XEVIP 1560? Is
there some law against it? There are certainly pockets of EE expats in
DF, Cholula and elsewhere who could/should be served. Contrast with
all the SS stations happily funxioning in the EUA.

chronological-order report under USA [and non]

** OKLAHOMA. Some nearby FM info is included in July 18 FMDX report
under USA [and non]

** TURKEY. 9830.021, July 19 at 2203, VOT English is not only on the
air but VG S9+40 with some hum into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 19 at 0500-0508, `Ukraine: Security

OK, WOR)

For these noncommercial services, voluntary financial support is much
appreciated; thanks this week to Kari Kallio, Lahti, Finland, for some
tuki via PayPal not necessarily originally in US funds, to woradio at
yahoo.com

One may also contribute by postal money order or check in US funds on
a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330.160, July 19 at 0638, WLCR/WBCQ still off-frequency,
S7/S9 in English with presumed non-super transmitter.

9330.118, July 19 at 1515, now it`s here in English, S6/S8 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Another big sporadic E opening, MONDAY JULY 18,
from rare Cuba, across Mexico, later bits of FL and NC --- mixed with
simultaneous tropo or extended groundwave at midday from KS, NE, into
SD! Heaviest tropo blob around the NE/IA/MN/SD 4-state area, but we
are supposedly on the edge or beyond area of minimal enhancement.

All u.o.s. on Nissan 2004 stock caradio parked in hottening garage,
vertical fender antenna only, no RDS, no even-frequency side-tuning,
no internet access until later research. No recordings. All logged in
real time by my own ears on own receiver, no remotes to compare with
streams. All times UT in chronological order. PTA = probable target
area. I am not counting stations, states or anything and not in
competition. Rather, each DX log is a potential learning experience.
Some are presumed or circumstantial, and any correxions or help with
IDing are very welcome. Distances approx., city-of-license to Enid,
not site to site, from distancefromto.net

94.9 at 1533, first sign of Es is Spanish here, 1545 super-hype voice
actor (SHVA) probably with ID/slogan but in a fade. Based on 1557
subsequent 99.3 log definitely Cancún, I suspect this from same PTA:
XHPBCQ-FM relay of:91.3 XHFAJ 94.9 CANCUN QROO HD ADULT CONTEMPORARY
ALFA RADIO 25.0 kW 34.8 m La Z 94.9 MHZ --- 2002 km = 1244 stmi

97.1 at 1535, algo English talk; must be DX as normally nothing
audible adjacent strong local 96.9. I do note that Tulsans on 95.5,
96.5, 97.5 are enhanced.

93.9 at 1556, and for many hours later chex, dead air in $ tereo from
strong semi-local signal, never overcome by DX tho occasionally traces
of it. Obviously KIMY Watonga, `The Gospel Station`. It`s dropped to
dead air several times before. I checked but no RDS which would have
been helpful when DXing DA. Finally found on website that `network` HQ
is in Fitzhugh OK, another place never heard of before, just SW of
Ada. Several of their stations are in more southern OK, with KIMY an
outlier, perhaps least noticed and hardest to maintain fed. Obviously,
would-be listener(s) not bombarding HQ with pleas to get their station
back! By next day July 19 at 1803 check, KIMY is OFF. I also tried to
notify radio-locator via webform that the KIMY Enid 93.1 translator
has been gone for years, but it failed as format is not set up to
recognize such correxions.
KIMY 93.9 WATONGA OK SOUTHERN GOSPEL THE GOSPEL STATION 6.0 kW 99.0 m
35-54-19 98-23-12 All your gospel favorites Religious Music --- 86
km = 54 mi

99.3 at 1557, Spanish CCI with Ponca, Locura? FM ID, ads, for Cancún
at a certain km on a road, 1559 definite Locura FM ID; except they
misspell it deliberately; going to K`s a bigthing among the Mexies:
XHCQR-FM 99.3 CANCÚN QROO ADULT HITS LOKURA FM 3.0 kW 85.67 kW ---
2002 km = 1244 mi

95.5 at 1603, ``Super Hits K###, Dodge City``; anything on 95.5 tough
against local 95.7 so we also have tropo enhancement from north/west:
KAHE 95.5 DODGE CITY KS CLASSIC HITS SUPER HITS 95.5 - 1470 100.0 kW
176.0 m // KSMM-1470 --- 243 km = 151 mi

94.5 at 1604, Mexmx; 1608 SS ads by SHVA; no guesses; another at 1725

92.3 at 1605, Spanish YL CCI to KMZE?

92.3 at 1605, Dan Bongino far-right talkshow opening, says he`s in
Florida, but it`s national, live from noon ET. Can`t find any
affiliate list on website. Suspect KMZE Woodward OK but no sked there
either. Broad search on show and frequency leads only to WIZM in
Wisconsin, doubtful with no other DX from around there, no PTA.

99.3 at 1610, praise music in English mixing with Spanish-language

94.5 at 1614, ``morning, noon and night, your station, Mix 94``. No
such station in Es PTAs, rather:
KSKL 94.5 SCOTT CITY KS ADULT CONTEMPORARY MIX 94 100.0 kW 93.0 m
Southwest Kansas Best Variety Mix 94 Soft Rock
Also at 1624, Garden City ad, bigger city about 40 miles south --- 335
km = 208 mi

94.9 at 1615, testimonial from positive listener to KJLT:
KJLT-FM 94.9 NORTH PLATTE NE CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN KING JESUS LIVES

YOUR SUPPORT ON KJLT/KJTF | LISTEN KJLT.ORG 308-532-5515 Religious

93.7 at 1616, Abilene ad, anti-mosquito, Saline County Health Dept..
Totally over KSPI Stillwater OK:
KYEZ 93.7 SALINA KS COUNTRY Y93.7 100.0 kW 155.0 m -- 273 km = 170 mi

100.3 at 1618, ag interview about leaf infexions, fungicide, mention
Henderson, Central Valley Ag = cvagcoop.com, Prairie Village
residential center?, 563-4213, pvrc.net, Antelope County Fair,
antelopecofair.com, NEBRASKA, Points West Community Bank, Fullerton
branch. This one holds up more than the rest: at 1630, weather from
KZ-100, Columbus ads. 1717, (402) AC, Columbus Culligan, Wayne County
Fair. 1825, Antelope County Fair. Never hrd CoL mentioned, but
obviously this between Grand Island and Columbus; Antelope County is
north of there and NW of Norfolk:
KZEN 100.3 CENTRAL CITY NE COUNTRY KZ-100 100.0 kW 562.0 m NEBRASKA'S
BIGGEST FM KZ-100 --- 525 km = 326 mi

97.5 at 1623, northeast Nebraska news, weather. ``97-5 KEXL`` dominant
rather than Alva OK Werewolf. 1647 ments. Norfolk NE, KEXL.com?:
KEXL 97.5 PIERCE NE ADULT CONTEMPORARY LITE ROCK 97.5 50.0 kW 142.0 m
97-5 KEXL More Music, More Variety Adult Hits --- 628 km = 390 mi

107.7 at 1625, KRXO OKC has CCI, unusual, one of two 100 kW, either:
KGCR 107.7 GOODLAND KS CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN/RELIGIOUS TEACHING
TRI-STATE PRAISE 107.7 100.0 kW 136.0 m --- 470 km = 292 mi
OR more likely:
KSYZ-FM 107.7 GRAND ISLAND NE ADULT HITS 107.7 THE ISLAND 100.0 kW
280.0 m --- 505 km = 314 mi

107.9 at 1625, talk about COVID rates not so bad, hospitals lie! No
talkers in NE, likely this but mixed up info, surely not classic hits
now with a mis-name like this:
KZRS 107.9 GREAT BEND KS USA CLASSIC HITS THE PATRIOT 107.9 99.0 kW
277.0 m The Patriot The Patriot Talk --- 239 km = 148 mi

103.9 at 1629 in MONO, KHYM plugging self for Focus on the Family;
Garden City. KHYM has translators into OK, but this is flagship:
KHYM 103.9 COPELAND KS SOUTHERN GOSPEL PRAISE & ENCOURAGEMENT 100.0 kW
229.0 m --- Copeland is SE of G.C. --- 276 km = 171 mi

92.1 at 1635, Spanish rock, CCI, tel. number given only once; Mexican
ads may repeat phones but so rapidly that my digit span cannot retain
them! Probably CDMX like next log; later 92.1 will be Mazatlán.
Besides 16 others, this in PTA:
XHFO-FM 92.1 CD. DE MÉXICO CDMX HD CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO RADIO DISNEY
100.0 kW 134.0 m 'KHFO Radio Disney XFM - ELEVA TUS XPECTATIVAS ---
1890 km = 1174 mi

92.9 at 1636, Spanish ballad, romantic music, ``La Kebuena 92.9``,
song about ``el último viernes``. Only Mex spelt any way is:
XEQ-FM 92.9 CD. DE MÉXICO CDMX REGIONAL MEXICAN KE BUENA 79.07 kW
214.0 m 92.9 FM LA KEBUENA Country --- 1890 km = 1174 mi
altho there is one Unitedstatesian, possible Es but unlikely:
KROM 92.9 SAN ANTONIO TX REGIONAL MEXICAN QUE BUENA 92.9 45.0 kW 412.0
m --- 777 km = 483 mi

93.1 at 1640, Stockville, Frontier County Fair, Minden ads. ``93.1 The
River``. These are on the outskirts of:
KRVN-FM 93.1 LEXINGTON NE HD COUNTRY 93.1 THE RIVER 100.0 kW 271.2 m
--- 514 km = 319 mi

105.5 at 1644, Enid translator is OFF! Would be helpful for DX but
only traces of fringe signals remain, nor anything but OKies on 105.3,
105.7. This is at an antenna-farm residence across from NWOSU campus
on the east end of real Enid, not North Enid:
K288FX relays:KYLV 88.9 105.5 NORTH ENID OK CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN
K-LOVE 0.25 kW 0.0 [sic] m 36-23-57 97-52-48
Next day July 19 at 1803 is back on but with some clix

1650-1658 UT July 18 I take an R&R break, back just in time for:::

96.7 FM, July 17 at 1646 UT, lexure in Spanish; 1658 song with refrain
``Guajira``. 1659, ``Rebelde, La Habana, Emisora de la Revolución;
1700 ``Noticiero Nacional de Radio``. 1711 still in with Cuban
mentions, national weather summary, 1713 ``NN de R`` program ID again,
``en AM, FM y Onda Corta``.

Cuban FM DX is rare here, mostly too far for single-hop sporadic E,
but Habana is possible at 2095 km = 1302 miles, and westward. WTFDA FM
Database has three Rebeldes on 96.7, Bayamo and Moa too far, but this
must be:

CMBA-FM 96.7 CD. HABANA CH NEWS/TALK/VARIETY RADIO REBELDE 1.0 kWH 0.0
kWV 100.0 m HAAT 23-07-16 82-18-54 REBELDE Tx site Loma de la
Cruz/Regla
There are three other non-Rebelde 96.7s, one further west, R Mantua,
but presumably would not be RR relayers at midday. Only 1 kW
horizontal only, not very impressive for a flagship!?

Meanwhile I am hunting for other Cubans! Only one possibility:
99.1, July 17 at 1703, some CCI in Spanish. Besides two low-power
translators, this is the only full-power, and same site as 96.7:
CMBF-FM 99.1 CD. HABANA CH CLASSICAL/OPERA/ARTS RADIO MUSICAL NACIONAL
8.0 kWH only 100.0 m 23-07-16 82-18-54 RADIO TAINO Tx site Loma de la
Cruz/Regla --- R. Taíno is in the ``PS Info`` column, not sure what
that mean in practice.

101.9 at 1705, CCI to KTST OKC, unusual: mentions First National Bank;
Long Island; agbank.bank; baseball sports update by rapid announcer
with poor enunciation; ments Goddard; 1709 ``101-9 The Bull``. There
are two other The Bulls on 101.9 in Amarillo TX and Emmett ID, but
obviously this:
KKQY 101.9 HILL CITY KS COUNTRY 101.9 THE BULL 97.0 kW 303.0 m
Why name your station for an ill-tempered beast? Masculinity!! BTW,
101.9 KTST The Twister, OKC, was originally KFNB, as in First National
Bank. --- 329 km = 204 mi

102.1 at 1710, Conklin? Care, Capital Federal; something on North
Federal, i.e. Wichita, and what a coincidence, adjacent geographically
and frequencially, another The Bull!:
KZSN 102.1 HUTCHINSON KS HD COUNTRY 102.1 THE BULL 100.0 kW 313.0 m
--- 187 km = 116 mi

93.5 at 1715, Lane County Fairgrounds event, Emporia State news. Lane
County is SW of Hayes, so only my regular fringer:
KKDT 93.5 BURDETT KS COUNTRY MY COUNTRY 93.5 95.0 kW 304.8 m --- 248
km = 154 mi

94.5 at 1725, Spanish YLs, JBA; other unIDs at 1604, 1902

95.3 at 1735, KOKC translator has CCI, east Highway 2 in Broken Bow,
Nebraska [OK also has a smaller Broken Bow, in the SE corner]:
KBBN-FM 95.3 BROKEN BOW NE CLASSIC ROCK THE THUNDERBIRD 30.0 kW 174.9
m REAL ROCK THE THUNDERBIRD KBBN BROKEN BOW --- 561 km = 349 mi

97.3 at 1738, Sioux Falls ad; could a Nebraskan do that? There are
stations in Aurora, KRGY east of Grand Island; and in Blair, KOBM
north of Omaha; but there is really a SxFs station! At 1740 vs Ags
CCI, Casino ad for Sioux Falls, 98-degree weather, 1741 singing ID I
copy as KKIZ, but really:
KKRC-FM 97.3 SIOUX FALLS SD CLASSIC HITS 100.0 kW 259.7 m Song/Artist
on MIX 97-3 Adult Hits --- 801 km = 498 mi: max tropo this opening

97.3 at 1738, Spanish rap by Es overtakes South Dakota by tropo!
``97.3, La Estación de 6 Canciones Continuas`` -- no WTFDA DB hits on
that slogan, but broad search leads to this blaring FB page:

https://es-la.facebook.com/ExaAguascalientes/photos/a.361517680661282/2601853103294384/?type=3
XHAGC-FM 97.3 AGUASCALIENTES AGS TEEN HITS - JUVENIL EXA FM 14.0
kW -6.17 m [BELOW average terrain; but guess unimpeded to the north]
--- 1669 km = 1037 mi

99.5 at 1743, SS CCI mentions pestos, Guadalajara, 99, corazón. Could
corazón be station name? No such hits at WTFDA DB, but heart fits with
format, but beware, there are 15 other X`s and we also hear an ad
later elsewhere for Farmacias Guadalajara: Likely tho in PTA:
XHLS-FM 99.5 GUADALAJARA JAL ROMANTICA ROMANCE 28.39 kW 149.0 m ---
1827 km = 1135 mi

95.3 at 1752, Hayes ads; 1755, ``95-3 The Cowboy``, home of Sean
Hannity, BOO! Overcomes KOKC translator, the best one out of OKC, must
be on high tower. Wakeeney about 30 miles WNW of Hayes on 1-70:
KWKN 95.3 WAKEENEY KS TALK/SPORTS 95.3 THE COWBOY 100.0 kW 158.0 m ---
341 km = 212 mi

94.5 at 1757, strong rock in English, 1800 ``WARO, Naples-Fort Myers,
classic rock, The Arrow``. Florida! Opening from there if any obscured
by all the Mexicans and Nebraskans, etc. Tho had CUBA an hour before:
WARO 94.5 NAPLES FL CLASSIC ROCK 94.5 THE ARROW 99.0 kW 311.0 m ---
1902 km = 1182 mi

93.7 at 1801, English rock overcome by Spanish CCI, ad in pesos,
``Aarón García en Punto`` reports from a noisy venue. Broad search
leads to lots of hits about a newscaster at Radiorama Nayarit, and
this chex as a Radiorama station:
XHTEY-FM 93.7 TEPIC NAY REGIONAL MEXICAN FIESTA MEXICANA 10.0 kW 222.4
m --- 1788 km = 1111 mi

93.3 at 1803, SS CCI to OKC, ``La nueva nueva 99.3``, noticiero, TC as
1:04 plus others. I am certain he said 99.3, not 93.3! Must have
slipped digits. 1805, CCI with FL below, ads mention Durango; 1808
correctly ``La Nueva 93.3, noticiero de la gente``:
XHPNVO-FM 93.3 EL SALTO DGO HD GRUPERA LA NUEVA 93.3 6.0 kW 101.2 m
--- 1575 km = 979 mi

93.3 at 1805, ``93-3 FLT`` as I copy YL IID, rock/country mixing with
Durango, but really:
WFLZ-FM 93.3 TAMPA FL HD CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO 93.3 FLZ 97.0 kW 472.0
m 93-3FLZ Addjar Levine 1-800-747-FREE Accident Attorneys Top 40
[listing refers to ads on the RDS?] --- 1725 km = 1072 mi

92.9 at 1809, two Spanish songs mixing, one maybe still XEQ as above

92.1 at 1810, romantic music in Spanish; 1812, ``Éxitos todo el día,
sólo en Lupe``, ads, addresses, Teatro Ángel Peralta, mention Sinaloa
and then Mazatlán. So now the X opening has traversed from SE Mexico
to the NW coast.
XHPMAZ-FM 92.1 MAZATLÁN SIN MEX HD Spanish ADULT HITS LA LUPE 25.0
25.0 99.1 99.1 23-12-04 106-25-37 9210 --- 1681 km = 1044 mi

93.1 at 1810, Spanish ads

94.1 at 1816, Spanish conversation about deportes. At 1828 when it`s
98 in the shade, I QRX for R&R, lunch of jambalaya with extra okra and
mushrooms, yum! On the DX-398 by lunchtable, only DX signal it still
gets is 94.1: 1836 ads with 4-tone sounders, ``Farmacia Guadalajara``
ad at its 80th anniversary, pronounces ``HD Radio`` in English, more
Spanish music; 1846 YL DJ with 1:46 time, dance music, 1849 SS ID
sounds like ``Cool 94.1``. Trying spellings Cul, Kul, Cool, Kool, no
hits in Mex, and that Farmacia operates all over beyond the city of
Guadalajara; anyhow there are no 94.1s in that Jalisco city. A
mystery! Only Cool 94.1 in USA English is WXBJ-LP in Massachusetts, no
way. At 1853, promo for show ``Buenos Días, 8 a 9 de la mañana`` -- a
bit too generic to try any searching. ?? km = mi

91.3 at 1822, CCI, one about T-storm weather, one suptorted. Got to be
DX, as normally nothing audible against local 91.1. You may notice
that I report hardly anything below 92 MHz, which you would expect to
be more subject to Es than 92+. I do scan 87.7-91.9 periodically but
have found hardly anything on the NCE band clogged with gospel huxters
and only two genuine secular public radio stations. A few `open`
channels suffer heavy ACI from both sides: 89.5, 89.9, 90.7.

94.1 at 1836, CCI to mystery Spanish above, from a K-LOVE station. DB
shows none nearby, in FL, or any other PTA, just one at full-power:
WWLV 94.1 LEXINGTON NC HD CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN K-LOVE 100.0 kW 355.0
m K-LOVE Song/Artist Adult Hits --- 1582 km = 983 mi

92.7 at 1900, back on the caradio, .mx PSA probably from Mexican
government; music

94.5 at 1902, Spanish JBA, Mex news mentions AMLO. By 1910 opening has
died out, no more DX.

96.3 at 1942, rock music on the DX-398, unlikely anything nearby. I
then log some beacons on the 10m hamband, widely dispersed.
Fortunately? No FM DX reaching here July 19 so I can complete
researching and writing this report only one day later.

At 2208 it`s 109.8 in the shade here, officially near-record 112 F so
just as well to stay where there be AC! out of the DX car (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, 7890, 7260, July 19 at 0627 still no signals from

** CUBA [and non]. 96.7 FM, July 17 at 1646 UT, lexure in Spanish
during big mixed sporadic E and tropo openings; 1658 song with refrain
``Guajira``. 1659, ``Rebelde, La Habana, Emisora de la Revolución,
1700 ``Noticiero Nacional de Radio``. 1711 still in with Cuban
mentions, national weather summary, 1713 ``NN de R`` program ID again,
``en AM, FM y Onda Corta``.

Cuban FM DX is rare here, mostly too far for single-hop sporadic E,
but Habana is possible at 2095 km = 1302 miles, and westward. WTFDA FM
Database has three Rebeldes on 96.7, Bayamo and Moa too far, but this
must be:

CMBA-FM 96.7 CD. HABANA CH NEWS/TALK/VARIETY RADIO REBELDE 1.0 kWH 0.0
kWV 100.0 m HAAT 23-07-16 82-18-54 REBELDE Tx site Loma de la
Cruz/Regla
There are three other non-Rebelde 96.7s, one further west, R Mantua,
but presumably would not be RR relayers at midday. Only 1 kW
horizontal only, not very impressive for a flagship!?

Meanwhile I am hunting for other Cubans! Only one possibility:
99.1, July 17 at 1703, some CCI in Spanish. Besides two low-power
translators, this is the only full-power, and same site as 96.7:
CMBF-FM 99.1 CD. HABANA CH CLASSICAL/OPERA/ARTS RADIO MUSICAL NACIONAL
8.0 kWH only 100.0 m 23-07-16 82-18-54 RADIO TAINO Tx site Loma de la
Cruz/Regla --- R. Taíno is in the ``PS Info`` column, not sure what
that mean in practice.

I am still researching *many* other FM DX logs between 1533 and 1942,
Es from Florida, eastern, central and western MEXICO from Cancún to
Mazatlán; at same time mid-day tropo from Kansas, Nebraska, as far as
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and hope to have it done in less than three
days (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, July 17 at 1501, Voice of Martyrs Korea,
Maldives service I hadn`t checked in some weeks after exhausting
speculation about its secret site. Sermon in English, 1503 refers to
``next slide`` but nothing to see! And not yet switched to Dhivehi if
ever. S5/S7 signal which is still a lot better than it should be if
focused on Maldives, from best guess Taiwan; or from anywhere to the
other side of the world (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1120 kHz, July 18 at 0140 UT, I`m rechecking
tonight for the unID SS QRM to KMOX. This is just before nominal
sunset 0145 at KETU Catoosa/Tulsa, after which this daytimer must
close, ha2: there is some CCI, but seems more than 8 Hz SAH as counted
last night. At 0412 UT, on caradio while checking for FMDX, now it`s
more like 7 Hz. Inside on the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX-398, I`m on
it for good, determined to definitely ID it, nulling KMOX to the max,
or min. Between tunes, a YL talx at some length, seems to be
relationship advice. Keeps giving phone number but I can`t copy; does
not start with AC 918. Romantic music plays right thru 0500 UT with no
sign of any ID. At 0523 I bring up the KETU stream
http://streamcontrol.net:16330/; and it does match with a delay. At
0524 finally I hear a full ID on the radio including ``KETU -- 97.9 La
Diferente, la estación --- de Tulsa, Oclajoma``. Call letters
pronounced in English, Toolsa en eSpanish. And promptly also on the
stream. No mention of an AM frequency; who cares, now that they have
an FM translator to wag it, K250BN?! So they may forget it exist, let
alone illegally all-night. Thus my previous log under UNID will be
promoted to OKLAHOMA in the Roundup. Remember, this is SUPPOSED to be
off the air at night, ceding 1120 to clear-channel KMOX St Louis. BTW,
KETU is owned by a grocery store in Arkansas called Las Américas;
don`t be surprised to hear that name in commercials. And how lame is
the slogan ``different`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon July 17 at 2200, REE VG into Maryland with token
English, news including heat wave, followed by an admitted repeat of
Justin`s interview with a female clown. Haven`t run across a mailbag
or `DX program` in many months; has anyone? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, July 17 at 2200, no signal into UTwente from VOT
English to us, just a weakie presumed China. But on by next check
2216, S9+30/45 with repeat of the `Feeling Supreme` about what to eat
vs osteoporosis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. After the Es FM DX opening July 18, I try the 10m beacon
band and quite a lot of activity including overlaps, only a few of
which I log:

28204 at 1859, W0WF/B, as often heard, 20 watts from St Charles MO

28218 at 1953, VVV VVV DE K4PAR/B --- also heard July 11; not in WJ5O
roster now! But back then I copied from it: 28.2175 K4PAR ? EATONTON,
GEORGIA # ?,? un-coordinated 28 May 19 reported by Richard SWL

The WJ5O roster I have bookmarked is now dated 8 September 2016! So
may have defaulted to a non-updated version.
https://www.qsl.net/wj5o/bcn.htm

28284.8 at 1954, V V V N9TNY/B EN51PS - very slow with long pause.
Also removed from WJ5O roster but when I heard him June 7 was 5 watts
from Geneva IL

28290.8 at 1956, K5TLJ/B, 5 watts from Trumann, Arkansas

28297 at 1958, E E E E E NS9RS ... CHICAGO --- 5 watts from Northfield
IL. This time I mis?copied it as NS9RF (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2147 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
July 17 at 2000.5 in IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, Villa Estense,
S9+10 into nearby Noale SDR but with heavy ACI from stronger signals
on 1314 & 1332; following rock music and 2000 IRRS SW ID. 918 not on
nor 207 kHz.

Also confirmed Sunday July 17 at 2230 on WRMI 5950, S9/+5 into
Knoxville SDR. Still airing now altho not on the skedgrid.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 18 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 but noisy
into Knoxville SDR; at 0050 better into Maryland S7/9+10.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 18 from 0259.3 on Area 51 via WBCQ, 6160
minus 61 Hz, into PEI SDR = 6159.939, S9+5/10

Also confirmed UT Tuesday July 19 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+15 into

** U S A. 9330.066, July 18 at 0233, WLCR/WBCQ now off-frequency-plus,
in Portuguese into PEI SDR, almost agreed by Georgia SDR, 9330.065.

9330.147, July 19 at 0028, S9+20/25 in Portuguese into Maryland SDR.
Altho strength can be VG, such offfrequenciness is not characteristic
of the 500 kW SuperStition transmitter which is presumably still down
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, July 18 at 0528 UT, praise music direct, again far too
big a sig to be legal 80 watts from KAAY, but I // it to stream:
https://www.iheart.com/live/1090am-kaay-5383/?autoplay=true
This is bad news for licensed CC 50 kW 1090s, WBAL Baltimore and KFNQ
Seattle, if that`s still its call, but what do you bet they do not
know nor care? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** WALES [and non]. 14263-USB, July 17 at 0624, already tuned near
here for CIDX, I eavesdrop on a near-antipodal contact between MW0YVK
and VK3OZY, both equally weak but almost sufficient, discussing how
hot it is in UK, 40 degrees in London; and they often repeat calls at
cambios unlike so many hams:

** CANADA. Congrats to Canadian International DX Club on 60th
anniversary, supposed to be marked by two special event ham stations
July 17, 1800-2200 UT, VE2AQP circa 14240 USB and VE6SWL circa 14265
USB -- but not heard direct tuning around these circa 1920 UT; just
some US stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, July 17 at 0615, RHC is S9+10 with nothing but hum in
English; 6100 & 6165 are both sufficient S9+20/30. 5040 is off.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Attn those expecting to find all my pirate logs
under this heading: see also OKLAHOMA in each report as the KOFM CB
pirate relay continues on 27185v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.47 AM, July 16 at 2321, KOFM presumed the usual
source of country music relayed by local CB pirate (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11800, July 16 at 2326, interview in Spanish continues
past 2330. No match with RHC or Martí; what could it be? At 2335 //
9760, so the ubiquitous RRI as scheduled this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 17 at 0500-0506, UR1 via WRMI,
immediately into English `Ukraine: Security Issue` for July 16 = Day
143 of Putin`s horrible war (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2147 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
July 16 at 1941 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG about 1 minute into so
started circa 1940.

Not confirmed Sat July 16 at 1930 on WRMI 15770, as the gospel huxter
airs successfully after a semihour? of fill music. WOR confirmed from
1930 on WRN webcast of N American service.

Confirmed UT Sunday July 17 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S3/S4 into Georgia
SDR; following 0029 Etón commercial and Allen Graham ID - is he really
still in Quito?

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 17 at 0333 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM near St
Louis MO, S9+10/15 into nearby SDR but with heavy storm crashes from
SE MO into east central IL.

Also confirmed Sunday July 17 until 1359.8 on WMRI Europe via Channel
292, Germany, 9670, S6/S9 into NW Ireland SDR, so started almost 1331;
followed by WMRI ID and clock ticking/chimes SFX. Next:

** U S A. 9330-, July 16 at 2332 WLCR on WBCQ back on air after a few
days` breakdown, S9+20/30 in English. Later I refine the measurement:
9329.928! and somewhat wavering, July 17 at 0618. This is NOT the
behaviour of the 500 kW SuperStition transmitter, rather one of the
old ``classic`` WBCQ transmitters, habitually off-frequency minus,
occasionally plus, but never exactly on-frequency.

Another measurement July 17 at 1437: 9329.856V, always in English when
I check, now only S9 direct. At 1447 via Maryland remote, S9+10 and
minus 143 Hz = 9329.857, calibration OK at WWV 10000.

Latest twit: ``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ · 37m [= 1449 UT minus 37 =
1412 UT July 17] Working on the transmitters. 9330 kHz back on the
air. The worlds free speech station is WBCQ. Always. Tune in tonight
on 6160khz for Area61 programming. Then Radio Angela on 5130khz at
10pm eastern. Shortwaves Rules✌️. We do it with real transmitters,
real RF, in real time. Really``

AW never volunteers pertinent info such as substituting one
transmitter for another. Since the WLCR antenna and the classic
245-degree antennas and transmitters are at separate locations, it
might have been difficult or impossible to intermix them. WLCR
language and azimuth usage has been quite flexible but per FCC A22,
9330 would be 250 kW, 180 degrees at 06-08; 250 kW, 290 degrees at
13-15 UT. If both transmitter and SS antenna are out of service,
everything is probably no more than 50 kW on WSW beam (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 1090, July 17 at 0705 UT, HUD and another USG PSA,
then into praise music. Bigsig loops E/W or slightly clockwise, i.e.
KAAY Little Rock. This is NOT its new night power of 80 watts! Sounds
like 50 kW, and can`t be former tight night pattern either,
unfavorable thisaway, but non-direxional 50 kW day pattern. FCC AMQ
still shows 80 watts as a CP to go with ND 50 kW day. KAAY was no
longer able to operate direxionally day or night, thus the drastic
power reduxion at night; but not yet? It was granted May 6. Should not
be that hard to set up an 80-watt transmitter. Nulling it, I hear
Spanish, presumably still XEAU Monterrey (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1120 kHz, July 17 at 0632 UT, KMOX oldtimeradio drama
has heavy QRM from music in Spanish. Normally KMOX is one of the
clearest of clear channels here. I count a SAH of about 8 Hz.
Unreadable announcement/ID? at 0702, otherwise upbeat romantic song
segués till I quit at 0723. Best audible on DX-398 with KMOX nulled,
i.e. NW/SE but hard to get a fix on the QRM. Mexican? At the time I do
not think of the Tulsa market KETU Catoosa, 10 kW DAYTIMER, also 7 kW
critical hours with two different direxional patterns. It`s certainly
a problem for KMOX during CH near sunset; will have to check whether 8
Hz apart then. MWoffset shows 7 Hz apart!:

http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=1120
1120 1119.9932 KETU (Catoosa, OK) as of 2019-01-03
1120 1120.0002 KMOX (Saint Louis, MO) [-1120.0027 range] as of
2021-11-14 IBOC within 0.1 Hz [no more IBOC]

NRC AM Log says ``Diferente`` is part of slogan, and post facto think
I may have heard it say that. It was pretty steady, like area
groundwave as heard by itself daytimes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday July 16 at 1447 tune-in via
Argentine remote, LRA36 already on with song, sufficiently good; 1449
ID, more song; 1500 ID with staff names, ``Nacional, la Radio
Pública`` but not the canned official sign-on with quadrilingual
Spanish-only advisory; maybe it ran earlier. 1501 Antártida themesong,
but chopped off air at 1504* before finished. What a disappointment!
Habitually when this happen it never come back, nor do it today
monitored until a full hour be up on the remote, 1548. Nor anything
at 1853 check either.

Gary Pence was hearing it as usual via KFS and also same Argentine
remote starting at 1445 and: ``when they were on about 10 till the
hour listening on Lu4aa sdr I heard those high fast buzzing blurb
things one after another and now they are gone too! Sure sounds like
intentional jamming to me??? 73 Gary`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, July 16 at 0400 as I am confirming WOR on 5130 into
Maryland SDR, I see on the H2Ofall without needing to hear it, that
this RHC frequency is AWOL. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2147 monitoring: confirmed UT

** U S A. 9330, July 16 circa 0630, WLCR/WBCQ is still off, reason
unknown. Pray harder! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, 7890, 11835, July 16 at 0635, no signals, not even
JBA carriers from RV. Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, agrees at 0615 on
the WOR iog:

``Vanuatu out of air today, due to COVID-19? Erratic Radio Vanuatu,
out of the air today July 16, checked from 0520, no signal, no carrier
directly here in Reinante and no signal via SDR Kiwi remote receivers
in New Zealand on 7260 and on its other usual frequencies.
Perhaps the absence is due to the announcers being infected with
COVID-19, because yesterday and in the past days I have heard them
coughing insistently while speaking, both the female and the male
announcers.`` Ahh, diagnosis by DX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9275, July 16 at 0627, S9+10/20 of open carrier.
Strongly suspect it`s the new WMLK high-power transmitter testing?
Nominally only at 1700-2200 UT --- except Saturday, and this is now UT
Sabbath! If in this cult, Yahweh`ll get`em for any work on the
Sabbath, they are in for trouble. Or maybe forgot to turn it off
before Friday sundown, and now can`t touch it? Plans were to also run
overnight except Sabbathday, registered 04-09 UT on a much different
frequency, 15150, ignorant of Propagation 101 -- nothing heard on it
now. Much like the WBCQ SuperStition, had not figured out how to make
their new gizmo change frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANGOLA. 4949.720, July 15 at 2152, presumed RNA is JBA S7 mostly
noise into Namibia SDR with signature offset, no signal into RSA SDR
and there are no other Kiwis in southern Africa. Tnx to tip from
Manuel Méndez, Spain, who reported this yesterday to the WOR iog:

``Rádio Nacional de Angola, 4949,7 on air after months without
detecting it --- Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Reinante, NW of
Spain, Tecsun PL-880, cable antenna, 8 meters: ANGOLA, 4949.7, Rádio
Nacional de Angola, Mulenvos, 1956-2016, 14-07, comments, songs.
Strong carrier, extremely weak audio, barely audible, best on LSB.``

Tropical Bands Monitor as of 1 July shows this on 4949.7 had been
reported this year only in January and March. Once upon a time RNA ran
all-night and its off-frequency carrier at least could be detected in
deep North America. As of last year, WRTH showed 4950 as 24 h with A
program in Portuguese, nominal 25 kW; while MW 945 had some foreign
languages local evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, July 15 at 1852, LRA36 is on with a
surprise late Friday broadcast; tnx to tips from Hugo López, Chile and
Manuel Méndez, Spain. Sufficient S5/S9 into Argentine SDR. Amid
interview of a guy by the gals who are laughing a lot. He`s talking
about high winds and other weather info, mentions Centro Meteorológico
Marambio, so maybe he`s visiting from that other base. Only QRM
occasional clix. Unfortunately at 1900-2000 UT Fridays I always listen
to KUCO for `The Score` cinemusic in $ tereo. LRA36 is off by my next
chance to check at 2022. Maybe this compensate for totally missing
their scheduled Wednesday 1500 transmission? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. Correxion to a typo not noticed by me until July 14. Is
anyone paying attention? I wish I were before I publish an error!
Second frequency was given as 9873.86 instead of 9673.86; FIXED:

9673.80 / 9673.86, July 9 at 0621, RVM praise music jumping
around these two spots as I try to measure it. Anyeditor who published
this error must now also publish this correxion (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, July 15 at 2133 and 2201, NO signal in English from R.
Cairo into UTwente; it`s better than something since something`s
always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA [non]. 11750, July 15 at 1650, no signal of SLBC into
Kuwait SDR; supposedly 1630-1830 with domestic service relay. Had not
paid attention before but checking now whether it be off due to
strife. At 1620-1650, VIRI blox 11750 in Bengali: how could they
possibly know about SLBC since it`s not in HFCC? After Qur`an, 1630
chimes and ``Radio Tehran`` ID. After 1700 into Bengaluru SDR, nothing
either on 11750. I have the vague impression that SLBC 11750 may have
been sporadic already. The other times to seek SLBC are 0030-0100 and
0200-0230 on 11905, often reported from N America. Of course there are
lots of relays via Trincomalee site: Aoki has 36 entries including
SLBC. Other have reported some of those still on.

BTW, the protesters` takeover of SLBC TV I quoted on WOR 2147 turned
out to be a bit exaggerated: they were allowed on for 15 minutes. I
thought it somewhat suspicious that the language signer in the corner
continued during clip unabated. See this via Ron Howard, WOR iog:

** TURKEY. 9830, July 15 at 2201 and 2212, NO signal from VOT English
into UTwente, but something weak, presumably CNR1 Beijing 572 site
also scheduled. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2146 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St.
Albert, Alberta, Canada, From the desk of Richard’s listening Post,
Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear
Glenn: World of Radio, monitoring and confirming the latest for
#2146, continued troubled time hearing at 0130 UTC on 5850 kHz too
much daylight hours reduced reception, WRMI:

9395, static, QSB fading, 0043, 0059 (S7 signal level), 0159, 9395,
July 12 UTC 2022 [Tue]. {??? 0159 UT Tue, starting at 0130 is not a
scheduled time for WOR, just 0030; your typo or their error/change?}

WORLD OF RADIO 2147 monitoring: confirmed first broadcasts UT Friday
July 15 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 S9+10/20 direct, preceded by two
overlapping IDs and WOR not starting until 0130.2; presumably same on
7730, S9/+10 and noisy, both direct.

Not confirmed UT Friday July 15 at 0330 on WRMI 7780: rather, previous
WOR 2146 aired again; not sure why, some file mixup? But I have
rechecked that 2147 is ready for all subsequent airings on WRMI thru
July 21.

Also confirmed Friday July 15 at 1430 on WRMI 9955; inaudible at
Bonaire where it`s aimed but S7/9+10 direct, no jamming audible. A
2-minute music buffer at 1428 following the Tourette`s gospel huxter
blaster preceding.

Confirmed NOT airing Friday July 15 at 1815 on IRRS 7290, AM Italia
1323, 918, usual third-Friday pre-emption for some classic rock;
checked via UTwente and Noale SDRs.

Confirmed the MW-only AM Italia airing Friday July 15 at 2030 on 918 &
1323 kHz; 918 at S9/+5 is better than 1323 only S7/S8, and no LW 207;
but by 2031, 918 cuts off and on the air, and/or when on without
modulation. While 1323 seems to stay as I switch back & forth. Next:

** U S A. 9330, July 15 at 0128, no signal from WLCR/WBCQ. Ailing?
Yes, a twit as of 13 hours before 0000 UT July 16:

``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ · 13h --- Working at the stations. The great
500 KW transmitter is down. Very complex. All of us troubleshooting
now. Free speech radio continues. Angela & Allan on tonight at 8pm
eastern on 7490/6160/5130/3265khz. Support radio-please listen. Your
prayers appreciated. The big one⚡️.``

Well, UT Sat July 16 after 0000, 3265 is JBA S5 at Maryland SDR,
mostly local and storm noise but SAM as carrier +151 Hz = 3265.152v.
3265.153v much better S8/S9 into nearest PEI SDR. Apparently during
AAAWWW original broadcast is only time it`s occasionally onturned.
3265 is not even included in the program guide. A new AAAWWW, since
discussing the Webb Space Telescope images. Angela is not within grasp
of Allan but on a lo-fi remote phone line. I guess he is in ME, she in
FL. Or, ``she is on an errand``.

Almost whole program is Allan lexuring us on the Universe and
Everything, Relativity, with the inevitable Christian undertones. I`m
listening via the 7490v webcast. Datestamp at 0038 as he is from
Studio 1 in Monticello, for 15 July YOOLF 2022. Never heard anything
about what`s wrong with the SuperStition. 0053 into email (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215 & 5890, July 15 at 0630, both these WWCR TOMBS
frequencies are off. Now we see in the program schedules dated July 1
that they are intentionally OFF AIR: WWCR-1 M-F at 0500-1100 3215 and
1100-1130 15825; and WWCR-4 M-F 0500-1200 5890. BUT same remain on air
Saturdays and Sundays with TOMBS. No other Off Air times are shown.
Absent 5890 also deprives us of the leapfrog mixing product over 5935
landing on 5980. It seems that dead Brother Stair`s income is dropping
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
