** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, July 6 circa 1500, I miss checking for
LRA36 this Wednesday, but Gary Pence was getting it via the KFS remote
in California, and Brazilians from 1446 to 1511* LOS, peaking at
1458-1502 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9673.72 & 9673.52 approx., July 7 at 0701, RVM praise music
in Portuguese keeps hopping back and forth around these as I am trying
to measure it exactly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, July 7 at 0646, RHC English again on unsked frequency,
S9/+10 but somewhat distorted; only other still on is // 6165; 5040
still on in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13629 & 13771 approx., July 7 at 1441, RHC spurblobs from
13700 at plus/minus ~71 kHz, rather weak this time, no readable
modulation even in FM mode; also second order 13558 approx. vs. RF ID
local ISM beepery 24h on 13560; but can`t be sure of a match on 13842
vs 13845 WWCR AM. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, July 6 at 2136, R. Cairo English scheduled, S7/S9 into
Maryland SDR but extremely distorted music with whine; no better at
2214 recheck. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 7425 AM, July 7 at 0654, S9/+20 VG signal talking
about NZ but chopped off at 0655*. No, NOT 7245. 7425 is a registered
alternate for RNZP, so must be one of their Thursday maintenance
tests; and 9700 is absent, so anyone axually listening for content is
out of luck! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also unIDs 5980, 6075

** TAIWAN. 9705, July 7 at 1450, pop songs S5/S8, best
extra-continental signal on band while K-index is 5, i.e. per Aoki,
Furusato no Kaze in Japanese at 1430-1458 via Paochung site. On a NNE
beam it would carry on well to OK far beyond target Korea North (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2145 monitoring; ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, 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
#2145, 9455 kHz is not on my schedule anymore, continued troubled time
hearing at 0130 UTC on 5850 kHz, too much daylight hours reduced

Good listening, Richard, July 7, 2022``

Also confirmed Tue July 5 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9+10 into Georgia, no
jamming audible, but built up by 2300 against R. Libertad

Also confirmed Tue July 5 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+10 to Georgia.

Also confirmed Wed July 6 at 2124 the 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490-, S7/S9 and
noisy into Maryland SDR minus 71 Hz = 7489.929; followed at 2130 not
by Goddess Irena 1 as still sked, but old time radio episode of
``Candy Monson [??], Private Eye``

Also confirmed UT Thu July 7 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+15/20 direct

Missed checking UT Thu July 7 at 0130 on WRMIs 5010 & 9395; anyone?
Richard did get 9395.

NEW WOR 2146 should be ready for download and first broadcasts by 0130
UT Friday July 8 on WRMIs 5850 & 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9260-9265-9270, July 7 at 0704, DRM noise from WINB as now
registered 07-10 but Sat & Sun only and this is Thursday.
Characteristic hybrid with noise on top half, secret data beepery on
bottom half (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. As of July 7, I`m still working on compiling my July 4 Es FM
DX logs from NV, UT, WY, ID, MT. Since then, and so far July 7, MUFs
tantalizingly hovering mostly somewhat below the FM band (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, July 7 at 0648, R. Vanuatu is still AWOL from 3 x
3945, nor has it appeared since last unlogged June 30 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5975-5980-5985, July 7 at 0656, S9+ DRM noise atop usual
mess of jamming/WWCR leapfrogs. Shortly disappears. Suspect another
RNZP maintenance test. Not in skeds (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6070-6075-6080, July 7 at 0650, DRM noise S9+10/20:
something new not in Aoki, EiBi or HFCC. Sharp cutoff does not bother
6070 CFRX much even when tuned in USB. Another NZ test maybe? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1733 UT July 7

** CUBA. 13651 & 13749 approx., July 5 at 1441, S5/S7 spurblobs
extremely distorted with no readable audio, JBM even in FM mode, but
telltale F# tone. So plus/minus ~49 kHz out of 13700 AM transmitter.
Also weaker at X2 = ~98 kHz offsets, 13798 and obscured by 13605
Martí, on 13602. Also X3 = ~147 kHz, JB detectable circa 13554 and
maybe 13846 vs 13845 WWCR. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 99.5, July 4 at 1739 UT as a big sporadic E opening is
underway, currently from Utah but not yet compiled, something here
instead of usual fringe KXBL Henryetta --- Waynoka in western OK
mentioned and then, and then --- ``1430 AM, KALV``. That`s in nearby
Alva which I can barely hear on 1430 with direxional pattern and/or
QRP. This is NOT in the WTFDA FM database: must be a new? translator,
as I do find it at FCC FM Query:

``K258GZ OK ALVA USA FX LIC Licensee: REMEMBER RADIO, LLC
Service Designation: FX Translator Station (retransmits signal,
different channel than main station) [but NOT specified KALV or any]
Channel/Class: 258D Frequency: 99.5 MHz Licensed

Well, that was over a biyear ago; if it`s really been on, had not
noticed it before. Translators are often owned by another party as a
station makes a relay deal, but KALV 1430 also belongs to Remember
Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) More OK under USA

** U S A. Sporadic E FM DX opening UT Sunday July 3 from 0129 to 0217;
a few Mexicans at first already reported.

88.1 at 0133, Spanish music, tropical, ``carnaval`` repeatedly
refrained. But segué to English song, ``River So Wide``. Despite Es in
progress from AZ/Sonora border area, suspect this be KWOU Woodward OK
relaying KGOU Norman, during `Global Sojourn` show at 8-10 pm CDT
Saturdays, including a playlist which may be what I heard but not
obvious hits:
8:28 PM TITLE: Bomba Swing COMPOSER: W.Cepeda ARTIST:
William Cepeda & Afrorican Jazz ALBUM: My Roots & Beyond
8:35 PM TITLE: River Jordan COMPOSER: n/a ARTIST:
Peter Broggs ALBUM: Progressive Youth
88.1 at 0207 indeed ``Global Sojourn`` but with DX CCI in Spanish

100.3 at 0139, rock YL DJ, ``on the beat``. If a station slogan, the
only two are nowhere near the PTA:
WMVN 100.3 SYLVAN BEACH NY HD RHYTHMIC CHR THE BEAT 6.0 kW 100.0 m
KATZ-FM 100.3 BRIDGETON MO HD URBAN CONTEMPORARY 100.3 THE BEAT 17.0
kW 120.0 m [near St Louis like 1600 KATZ]

More likely in the AZ/CA border PTA:
KJMB-FM 100.3 BLYTHE CA ADULT CONTEMPORARY KJMB FM 100.3 36.0 kWH only
17.0 m horizontal only
I do not see Beat mentioned on website but does not rule it out:
https://kjmbradio.com/ --- 1552 km = 964 mi
One thing I resist for lack of time is monitoring streams of stations
later for something matchable.

100.7 at 0140, Catholic talk in English about Loreto. Nothing fits in
AZ or NV, and the closest in CA is rather far-fetched:
K264CK relays:KHOT-1250 100.7 FRESNO CA RELIGIOUS TEACHING IMMACULATE
HEART RADIO 0.25 kW --- 1953 km = 1213 mi; and it takes some doing to
audiblize against adjacent local 100.9 KGWA translator. Faked out by
something nearby in KS or OK? No Catholix listed. Possibly religious
but not exclusively Catholic tho seems unlikely, such as KWRD Highland
Village TX north side of The Metroplex, a Salem outlet so presumably
evangelical/Protestant. 375 km = 233 mi. 94.9 log below points to
north TX.

102.1 at 0140, soft rock and talk about music, or CCI

94.9 at 0146, Eyemart Express ad, fade. I figure it`s a national ad
but search leads right back to several locations in OK, and a few in
adjacent states KS, MO, TX. OK has only two unlikely translators; KS
has two distant full-powers in Concordia, Shawnee, but nearest is:
KIND 94.9 ELK CITY KS HOT AC 6.0 kW 82.9 m --- not the Elk City in OK!
This is just west of Independence in the SE, not very close to Wichita
where Eyemart has its only two KS stores. Nothing near Joplin MO.
However, both TX locations hit close geographical correlations:
Eyemart Wichita Falls, near Electra:
KOLI 94.9 ELECTRA TX COUNTRY 94.9 THE OUTLAW 50.0 kW 150.0 m --- 279
km = 174 mi
and Eyemart Flower Mound, N side of The Metroplex, near
Arlington:
KLTY 94.9 ARLINGTON TX HD CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN 94.9 KLTY 99.0 kW
508.0 m --- 413 km = 256 mi; so apparently extended groundwave on a
channel normally vacant here, not even the KOSU Ponca City translator

93.5 at 0158 ads, CCI with KS, tostadas, González Meat Market in
Lancaster, State Farm. 0200 ID for Rosamond-Lancaster-Palmdale, so:
KQAV 93.5 ROSAMOND CA CLASSIC HIP-HOP OLD SCHOOL 93.5 6.0 kW 27.0 m
//KOSS 1380/K272FI 102.3/K296GX 107.1 --- 1841 km = 1144 mi

94.3 at 0209, ``The Duck, giveaways all summer``; CCI from song mixing
Spanish and English; 0212 ``hits back to back 24 hours a day, 94-3``;
0217 rock, about a sex pill [so not Bott!], tickets to Six Flags [over
something? not TX. Probably Magic Mountain as in L.A.], ``right here
on The Duck, 94 days of summer`` and end of opening:
KDUC 94.3 BARSTOW CA RHYTHMIC CHR THE DUCK 4.6 kW 239.0 m --- 1735 km
= 1078 mi (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2124 UT July 5

** BRAZIL. 9673.22V, July 4 at 0638, RVM gospel music wobbling around
here as I try to measure it, good signal and modulation (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13530 & 13130 & weaker 13020, July 4 at 1457, the regular
CNR1 jammers with pop music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, July 4 at 0618, RHC English S6/S8, 2 x 6000 which is
much stronger. This harmonic appears only occasionally, at transmitter
maladjustments? By 0650, these three are unusually all still on: 6000,
6060, 6100 but not 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2145 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday July 3 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323 kHz, S9+20/25 into
nearby Noale SDR including heavy splash from much stronger adjacents
on 1314 and 1332, plus storm crashes.

Also confirmed Sunday July 3 at 2237 the 2230 still on WRMI 5950,
S9+10/22 into Georgia SDR with storm crashes.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 4 at 0033 the 0030 on WRMI 7780 S7/S9
into Athens GA SDR, better here than some others checked, even
Durango2 and TWR Brownsville.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 4 from 0259 on Area 51 via WBCQ
6159.942, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, trying to avoid ACI from 6165 RHC
thru LSB tuning narrow, or AM narrow, but can`t get rid of it
completely as these two stations refuse to distance from each other.

Next:
0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, July 4 at 0645, WTWW with soft rock at S6/S9, still on
but not so strong, // 5085 at S9+40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, July 4 at 0647, this WWCR is missing TOMBS, while 5935
and 4840 remain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Sporadic E FM DX opening Saturday July 2 at 1829-1930 UT
from Michigan and vicinity, somewhat Lower than last time; on caradio
with fender vertical antenna only, standard provisos to which I add:
no possibility of side-tuning to even frequencies avoiding QRM;
strictly UT:

We start off with a rather confusing situation; perhaps Chris Kadlec
can straighten it out.

92.9 at 1829, strong rock/rap. Nothing further here, but based on
following logs we look up Michigan:
WJZQ 92.9 CADILLAC MI CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO Z93 100.0 kW 278.0 m Z93
Today's Best Hits Top 40 --- website is:
https://www.z93hits.com/
but its studio is in Traverse City, not too far but not too close, to
Cadillac --- 1369 km = 851 mi

93.5 at 1830, music CCI with Hayes KS fringer. Later at 1855, ``The
Rock Station K-L-T``; 1900 ``Rogers City - Alpena, The Rock Station
K-L-T``.
WBCM relays:WKLT 97.5 93.5 BOYNE CITY MI ROCK 97.5 WKLT 14.0 kW 283.0
m
The trouble is: Boyne City, just S of Petoskey on the NW coast, is
100+ miles from Rogers City & Alpena on the NE coast. So it relays the
KLT station as below on 97.5 yet gives own frequency 93.5. But the
97.5 station is in Kalkaska, just east of Traverse City in the NW.
It`s also linked to a 98.9 station but not branded as KLT which
applies only to 97.5 and 93.5. Is 98.9 serving RC&A? No, it`s in
Petoskey. Boyne City: 1458 km = 906 mi

93.9 at 1830, music CCI with KIMY OK. And at 1841

97.5 at 1831, a poet quoted, maybe the source of 93.5 above. 1848,
mattress ad in Traverse City. Great Lakes Land with lots in northern
MI:
WKLT 97.5 KALKASKA MI CLASSIC ROCK KLT THE ROCK STATION 32.0 kW 188.0
m 97.5 FM 98.9 FM KLT The Rock Station //WRGZ 96.7 - 1415 km = 880 mi

93.7 at 1833, Lakers, trends in baseball; unlikely residual KSPI OK;
1835, Z-93, YL DJ on blood giving, Michelle Peréz at noon to one;
929-HITS which chex as number for Z-93, not to be confused with
anything on 92.9 MHz: https://www.z93hits.com/contact, Traverse City
ads, Cherry Festival, Downtown Arts Fest; Tony`s Best Tacos, Z-93.
Must be this just S of Traverse City, but not branded as Z-93:
WKAD relays:WMBN-1340 93.7 HARRIETTA MI SPORTS THE TICKET 4.3 kW 119.0
m // W284DF 104.7 --- 1354 km = 841 mi

93.3 at 1834, CCI with Jake OKC

95.3 at 1843, plug event in Kresge Auditorium which chex as
Interlochen i.a.; arts fest, Interlochen.org - a classical mecca with
arts school. None especially close but outreach probably beyond the
WIAA coverage area, like this non-comm down the coast:
WGVS-FM 95.3 WHITEHALL MI NEWS/JAZZ WGVU 88.5 & 95.3FM 2.0 kW 110.0 m
Saturday Night Blues LISTEN ONLINE AT WGVU.ORG No Program Type or

Whitehall also correlates with next single log across Lake MI in WI:
Whitehall: 1253 km = 779 mi

95.5 at 1844, algo trying to edge in to local 95.7

97.3 at 1845, ``97-3 The Game``:
WRNW 97.3 MILWAUKEE WI HD SPORTS 97.3 THE GAME 15.5 kW 278.0 m Top 40
[sic] --- 1127 km = 700 mi

96.3 at 1858, Bad Credit Blues ad; Ballard`s Plumbing and Heating in
Petoskey; vs ACI from 96.1 OKC:
WLXT 96.3 PETOSKEY MI ADULT CONTEMPORARY LITE 96.3 100.0 kW 299.0 m
--- 1472 km = 915 mi

94.5 at 1901, 3:01 timecheck, inviting R&R requests, and multi-station
ID including WYPV Mackinaw City, too quick to copy all,
``road-runner`` only station for R&R:
WYPV relays:WQON 100.3 94.5 MACKINAW CITY MI CLASSIC ROCK Q 100 50.0
kW 110.0 m // WWMN 106.3 --- 1514 km = 941 mi

97.5 at 1911, ``Werewolf 97.5``, country. Turns out to be the Alva OK
station not far from Enid to the NW, but a new name on me. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KZLF
``KZLF ("Werewolf 97.5 FM") is a radio station broadcasting an adult
hits music format licensed to Alva, Oklahoma, United States.[1] The
station is currently owned by Running Wolf Radio LLC, which purchased
it from George S. Flinn in 2022.[2]`` ``Human all day - WOLF ALL
NIGHT`` see https://werewolf975.com/ --- ex-KPAK. WTFDA has new call
but not new branding and non-silent format:
KZLF 97.5 ALVA OK Silent CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN 97.5 THE QUAKE 50.0 kW
150.0 m 37-01-27 98-41-22 Silent 3/25/22 equip replacement --- 70 km =
44 mi

96.7 at 1917, ad for waterfront property (877) 333-8830 or
https://whiteoakcreekranchtx.com --- TX??? I`ve been getting Michigan
but those clues indeed lead to Texas, phone in Decatur which is NW of
Fort Worth. From photos, the ``water`` refers to ponds or lakes or
creeks, not seashore! Surely not advertising waterfront property to
Michiganders. Closest station to there is on N side of The Metroplex:
KTCK-FM 96.7 FLOWER MOUND TX SPORTS RADIO 1310 & 96.7, THE TICKET 90.0
kW 621.0 m All Sports all the time - KTCK The Ticket - //KTCK 1310 ---
so this is fluke extended GW and that tall tower helps, not sporadic
E. KTCK 1310 being successor to long-lamented WRR --- 381 km = 236 mi

99.7 at 1927, ``Hank FM``, another fringe Okie, but later see there is
another same name in adjacent Kansas on same 99.7; beware, but only
ours spells HANK backwards: Can anyone think of another station
branding by spelling callsign backwards? FHGK sure won`t work:
KNAH 99.7 MUSTANG OK COUNTRY HANK FM 47.0 kW 155.0 m - 112 km = 70 mi
KGHF 99.7 BELLE PLAINE KS COUNTRY 99.7 HANK FM 50.0 kW 147.0 m unhrd

93.1 at 1930, ``93 K-ROCK``, one last gasp of the Es from MI, and one
Yooper I heard in previous opening:
WIMK 93.1 IRON MOUNTAIN MI ROCK 93.1 K ROCK 100.0 kW 180.0 m --- 1331
km = 827 mi

More sporadic E FM DX yet to be compiled:
July 3 at 0129-0218 UT: AZ, CA; Mexico SONORA already done

UNIDENTIFIED. 13745-13755, July 4 at 0616, sure sounds like weak DRM
noise but nothing in skeds to account for it. Maybe China or Russia?
Romania is on 13750 at other times in AM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2347 UT July 4

** ANDORRA [non]. 13730, July 2 at 2317, French talk and rock music,
another R. Andorra revival, via AUSTRIA; tnx to tip from Jorge
Freitas, Brasil on the WOR iog. Last we heard, this month was going to
be only on 6180 earlier for Europe, as had not raised money for the N
American repeat, and had no prior notice this would be on. Still going
at 0007 July 3; or something else on 13730? VG into Maryland remote,
S9+10/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BOLIVIA [and non]. 5952.4, July 3 at 0103, Texas Radio SW on 5950
WRMI has a considerable het on the USB side, evitable by LSB tuning.
Got to be the sporadically re-active Radio Pio Doce on its signature
split frequency. Can`t copy anything tho by tuning 5952.4 on USB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9673.2v, July 3 at 0646, no signal from RVM here, but a JBA
carrier a smidgin below 9675, which could be RVM or China. I`m on the
less sensitive interior longwire due to storms in my area (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, July 3 at 0638, RHC English on supposedly Spanish-only
frequency scheduled to end at 0500 per Aoki but EiBi shows an English
hour at 0500-0600, which is certainly a sporadic error. Only // still
on is 6165; while 5040 remains in Spanish. 11670 is S9/+10 but
distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, July 3 at 1448, RHC playing an American Standard tune
very familiar but racking my brain trying to remember the name;
S9+10/20 but unfortunately very distorted, boding ill for Esperanto to
follow Sunday at 1500 but not rechecked. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. Another sporadic E opening I start hearing with Spanish
from the west, UT July 3 on caradio, standard provisos; reference
WTFDA FM Database:

97.3 at 0129, Mexmx in $ tereo. Nothing further but judging from PTA of
others, most likely the only one in Sonora, but in the south, not
close to Arizona, and none in BC, AZ, CA or NV:

93.5 at 0131, ``XHPO, Super 93.5 FM`` ID with street address Juárez
algo, zona Centro``. NO list in WTFDA db, but broad search on call,
slogan and frequency leads to Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, which is in the
NW close to AZ, but wrong frequency. They must have moved! IIRC, top
end of Mex FM band is being cleared for community radio stations:
XHPPO-FM 106.1 PUERTO PEÑASCO SON MEX Spanish SPANISH HITS SÚPER
15.0 kW 62.12 m 31-18-20 113-32-11
However, twits show 93.5 already in 2019y but illustrated with 106.1
logo! Instagram and FB have it on 93.5 and FB with address:
``Blvd. Freemont # 9. Col. Benito Juárez. CP, Puerto Peñasco, Mexico``
--- 1551 km = 964 miles

96.5 at 0153, JBA Spanish tropical song. Not AZ, but probably same
city as 93.5:

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 USB, July 3 at 0034, ``Dream x 3`` song,
classic rock, S3/S4 vs storm noise level hitting S8. Off by 0055 check
but then there are 6950 and 6955. Zero logs of 6960 tonight at HF
Underground, but 24 h earlier, Ballsmacker Radio was widely reported
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, July 3 at 0055, rough blues song, good

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, July 2 at 0033, S9+25 of country music as
local Enid CBer is again a pirate relaying 103.1 KOFM, as later
confirmed by //. At times a big het from another carrier, to jam it? I
wonder if the YL DJ realize she now be a worldwide SW broadcaster?
Sporadic E in play on 10m beacon band and shortly also on 88+ MHz FM,
so should be DXable by skip; but there are a lot more CBers on 27185,
blotted out here.

** U S A. 9940, July 3 at 0643, WTWW S9+10 at odd hour for this and //
5085, rock music and talking about it. Ricky Leong, Alberta, had just
reported both to the WOR iog:

``During a break from the program "The History of Rock 'n' Roll," WTWW
presented a six-minute newscast at 0500 UTC, July 3, 2022, introduced
as "the latest news from Ukraine." The audio appears to have been
generated by a text-to-speech program and the newscast was entirely
"read" from a script, as no actualities (audio clips) were presented.
The information contained in the newscast seemed consistent with war
reports from major news organizations and wire services over the last
two days. The sign-off indicated the report was prepared by a
correspondent for the station in Ukraine, identified only by the first
name Alexander — actual spelling unknown, obviously. This newscast was
repeated some 90 minutes later. Ah yes, I should have mentioned: it
was in English. I didn't think to check how well 5085 and 9940 were
propagating into eastern Europe at that time. I'd guess 5085 had no
chance but 9940 might have been alright, if ionospheric conditions
were co-operating. 73, Ricky Leong, Calgary, Alberta, Canada``

What a coincidence that 0500 is the time WRMI used to relay UR1 with
`Ukraine: Security Issue` on 7730, but this is something different
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Another sporadic E FM DX opening July 3 at 0129-0210 from
Arizona, SE California, yet to be compiled, except for Sonora, see
MEXICO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
