** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday July 2 from 1457 checking for
LRA36 -- no signals into 4 Argentine nor 1 Uruguayan SDR, but I let
the latter run until finally cuts on air S6/S8 at *1517 during music,
1520 canned sign-on, 1522 Antártida song. Switch back to LU4AA SDR
which gets it even better, S3/S9, also much better than the other LUs.
And I am the only User of this frequency. At 1526, info about Base
Esperanza, temp range +8 to -30; winds 50 kph; 8 families overwinter
at this base only; Station began in October 1979 as first SW station
on the continent --- which is still a LIE, as AFAN 6012 started
several years before. 1528 the `Sound of Silence` with new lyrix about
Antca. 1532 YL says it`s program #9 of the 2022 season: how time
flies, naming staff. 1536 contact info. 1541 This Week in History.
1545 ``Audaz`` ID with frequencies, ``Nacional, la radio pública``.
1546 song. 1549 acknowledge some email. 1552 interview a guy who has
some background noise, like roaring surf? 1605 a song about Esperanza
but maybe just hopeful not about the base. 1609 ID, about to give
phone number? when chopped off the air; and never comes back as I let
it play in background while I am mainly listening to `The Score`,
cinemusic on KUCO. Not quite a full hour but this time managed a lot
more than 18 minutes after sign-on Wednesday. Nor any OTH
radar/jamming today. How about another try from 1800? Nothing at 1820
check into Montevideo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. Several FM DX stations from Manitoba and Saskatchewan are
intermixed with US in chrono order June 28 under USA [and non]: on
94.3, 92.1, 96.5, 88.1, 91.5, 92.7, 102.3, 90.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 7, July 2 at 1525 UT, no signal from `local` KOCO
``5`` OKC, the ABC affiliate, into my rooftop antenna as routed thru
STB DTV converter to one screen, no to my other DTV set. 2118 recheck
now there is a BAD signal not enough to decode via STB. Underpowered?
Intermittent? *2123 suddenly appears, turned up power or off backup
transmitter? Just as an unpredicted little pop-up storm approaches us
from the SW suggesting we should unplug (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2145 monitoring: confirmed Friday
July 1 from 1815.5 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 kHz
but not on 918 or 207; S9+20 into nearby Noale SDR. But axual SW 7290
via Bulgaria never comes on from 1800.8! Temp or permanent drop? It`s
back on next day Sat July 2 *1800.8 as usual JIP FSN.

Anyhow, earlier on 1323: tune-in 1756 with US political discussion, no
idea what program, until chopped off at 1800 for IRRS ``SW`` sign-on,
and right into Feature Story News including Spotlight. 1805 IRRS ID
again, song. 1813 starts an interview from UN Radio, chopped off at
1815 already for IRRS ID and then WOR. Meanwhile there was a slow SAH
on 1323, maybe with music, from another station, Romania propagating
again? After WOR finished at 1845, music; 1852 `Country Jamboree` DJ
talk, but now there is CCI from algo talking in English. 1900 a tone
from one of them and IRRS` closing Verdi theme.

WOR 2145 also confirmed at 2030 on 1323 only, as Noale is offline, but
S9+10/20 into Vinci/Parma SDR. The CCI could be this as just reported
by Carlos Goncalves, Portugal: ``1323.0 2145-2155 01/7 G Smooth R,
Brighton, 500 W. Songs. 25342 CG``

Also confirmed UT Saturday July 2 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into
Maryland SDR; also direct at 0151, noisy S9/+10.

Missed checking UT Sat July 2 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130; did
anyone hear it?

Also confirmed Saturday July 2 at 1600 on WRN N America webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday July 2 after 1930 one next WRN to N America.

Also confirmed Saturday July 2 ending at 2006 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
Wentzville MO, S9+9 steady into nearby Warrenton SDR, so started circa
1937.

Not confirmed Sat July 2 at 1948 on WRMI 15770 via Maryland SDR,
instead classic rock, another show or fill music? Despite WOR still
showing on the System B grid for 1930 Saturday on 15770, while the
rest of the day and night, that applies to 9955. However, the System C
grid shows Power of the Word Sat at 1930, certainly not what`s on now,
tho I think it was last week; as WOR has not really aired Sat at 1930
for several weeks. Next:

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat July 2 at 0052 I tune in WBCQ webcast
since `AAAWWW` usually gets down to business about this far into the
0000+ show - but Allan is talking about just getting back on air after
a power failure in the Fla studio. Unclear whether all the Maine
transmitters stayed on in meantime, no SW checked here now nor
earlier. Just getting into emails from far-right extremists they
attract, on to prayer and off circa 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Huge Sporadic E FM DX opening June 28, in fact two
of them overlapping for a while from opposite direxions: might have
provided double hop if I were not between them. As usual, all heard
with my own ears in real time on my own radio, no recordings, no
internet access for stream // or anything, until extensive research
following three days for this report. On stock Nissan 2004 caradio, no
RDS, vertical fender antenna only so no manipulation for DFing or
polarization. Ultimately I will capture dozens of stations in SD, ND,
MN, MB, SK, LA, TX, MT. Some IDs are circumstantial and will welcome
any correxions or ID help. I do not count stations, states or
anything, and am not in competition.

Each DX log is a potential learning experience about geography,
economy, broadcasting etc., so the details are what make it all
worthwhile, unlike MEGO condensed one-liner loggings some editors
insist upon. Main reference partially copied for each is the WTFDA FM
Database. Distances are approx. licensed city-to-Enid, not
site-to-site, from distancefromto.net WTFDA DB provides coordinates
for each station, but it`s so much easier to let that site calculate
from names, being sure none go haywire. All times strictly UT = CDT
+5

Seeing that the MUF is well into the FM band, I go to the garaged car
at 1610 UT June 28, tolerating the heat, and start tuning around.

94.1 at 1612, national adstring loud & clear, got to be DX. ``The

which of these SD it may be: the first one right in Aberdeen like
above, but translator supposedly off more than a year; or the next
one, also religious, Brookings in E central SD, but only translator
and may not be on; or the third one also religious but decent 25 kW
power but rather close:

99.5 at 1622, CCI to OKie, gospel huxter talk. Not MB or ND; only

102.5 at 1624, gospel huxter, maybe plugging a book about ``spiritual
biography of rock `n` roll``; music CCI. Manitoba ruled out, three MN
full-powers are not religious, nor is one other ND in Devils Lake, so
this ND translator?:

94.5 at 1626, license plate renewals due 6/30; City Express building
with Godfather`s Pizza, giveaways, rewards, north 2nd and 8th Ave NW;
a Northern Plains vet at 226-3816.

Search on clues leads to Aberdeen SD, like this from 2013y:

of Godfather's Express inside C-Express at 711 N. Second St. Food will
be available for takeout or delivery.`` And phone 226-3816 chex for N

100.3 at 1630, sports talk about baseball last night: Target Field,
Minnesota; Progressive Field, Cleveland; ``Our Twins`` so must be from
MN -- unless on a national ESPN or other sports network show? MN only

At this point I had not realized another Es opening from the SSE was

it? Next: as above (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Friday July 1 at 0614, S9+20/30 of dead air from dead
Stair on WWCR. This happens time and again around this hour when they
are dozing? in Nashville. No such outage via numerous other WWCR,
WRMI, WBCQ, WINB. Something`s wacky at WWCR. Is it a weekly automation
mis-programming? No, last time noted was Thursday June 16. Silent like
TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wednesday June 29 from 1430 on Buenos
Aires remote, no signal until *1447 LRA36 cuts on amid song and
nothing but musical préludes until 1500 sign-on, multi-lingual, in
Ciclo Radial 2022, staff list. 1502 Antártida theme song. 1505 YL
about Base Esperanza, population, school for some kids, again claims
falsely to be first SW station in Antarctica. 1507 `Sounds of Silence`
song with Spanish lyrix mentioning Antártida.

1509 starts being hit by noise bursts several times per minute at S7 =
covering LRA36 as that is max peak of their SSB modulation. OTH radar,
or jamming? Amid it at 1511 an ID, ``su compañía``. This is program #9
of the 2022 cycle. 1514 SR/SS times as 10:30/15:10. Contact info with
phone numbers, etc. Abruptly chopped off air at 1518* and not heard
further. The QRM could not be discerned on the wideband waterfall, but
I checked just above and below: audible on 15480, audible but weaker
tuned to 15470. Then it`s no longer heard either by 1537 when I give
up. Maybe the Saturday repeat will not be curtailed and/or jammed?

People are reporting getting eQSLs signed by the four woman staff.
Kari Kallio`s, Finland, says power is 300 watts to a rhombic. However,
Manuel Méndez, Spain, who usually can detect it direct at S1 level,
got one too, as a reply not to a reception report but to an inquiry he
sent before they ever resumed broadcasting, citing the date and time
of his mail, when they certainly were not on air:

``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain --- I had one too, a very special one,
from a nonexistent transmission. On May 2, at 1023 hours, I sent them
an email asking when the transmissions would start this season. We all
know that they started a few days later, on Saturday, May 7. Well, a
few days ago I received a QSL from LRA 36, confirming that I had
listened to them on May 2 at 1023 hours. I reply that this QSL is
incorrect, because that day they had no broadcast, and I simply sent
them an email asking when they would start transmission this season.
They answer me

"Good evening... we are sending the QSL according to the emails
listeners send... and you sent us an email at that time that we send
you a QSL with the date and time you sent us the email."

I send them another mail telling them that to send a QSL it had to be
from a certain program and they have to have a reception report,
explain to them what a reception report is, and also that they cannot
send confirmation by a simple mail in which they are asked a question,
and my QSL was false and did not correspond to reality. I no longer
get an answer. Here is a compressed file of my very special eQSL about
an nonexistent transmission...``

It seems their QSLs are worthless, just acknowledgments without any
checking or vetting. (I wonder if same applies to the no-data
automatic? eQSLs BBCWS has started for filling out a webform? Try it
with a non-frequency and see what happen) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

hotel. Maybe by Friday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. June 28 at 2310-2330, no Es DX now to FM band MUFs but a few

** CUBA. 13772 & 13628 approx., June 28 at 1429, RHC spurblob with F#
tone from 13700 transmitter, not the // 13740 which is also on. Main
ones at plus/minus ~72 kHz. Also a bit weaker at 2 x 72 = 144 kHz up
on 13844 QRMing WWCR 13845, tsk3. And more, detectable about 13921.
Also on the minus side, 13555 QRMing CODAR, and 13408, but nothing
found about halfway between the last two. Spurs so distorted as to be
completely unreadable. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Another oddity, probably unrelated, but not observed before: June 28

on 13753 and 13550. By 1508 recheck everything is off (Glenn Hauser,

93.1 at 1842, JBA Spanish CCI to Kansas. I later find there are no SS

lots of Mexicans, 17 of them, all but one with some kind of music
format. 1906 and 1921 more bits of SS talk; at 1942 another Spanish

plataforma PSA, COFESE, ejército PSA, ``La Ke Buena 92.9``. 1930 live?
traffic report with chopper SFX, mentions Cuauhtémoc, carretera
México/Toluca, ``La Ke Buena, en Cadena``, jingle. 1931 kids yell 2:31
timecheck twice; again at 1938 for 2:38 and laughing - or are those
adult voices pitched up? 2001 one more ``Ke Buena`` as the opening
finally fizzles, and/or I quit by 2006! After two+ hours straight.
This was:
XEQ-FM 92.9 CD. DE MÉXICO CDMX REGIONAL MEXICAN KE BUENA 79.07 kW
214.0 m --- 1890 km = 1174 mi

95.3 at 1921, overcoming KOKC translator, R/TV Mex PSA, ads in pesos;
1924 iHeart Radio Spanish promo for Lucío Córdoba podcast, ``Amor
95.3, música romántica``, song. 1934 & 1945 romx; 1951, whatsapp
number 523-953?, and ``95.30``. 2956, ``Amor 95-3, sólo música
romántica``:
XHSH-FM 95.3 CD. DE MÉXICO CDMX ROMANTICA AMOR 90.0 kW -20.0 m [BELOW
average terrain] presentadora - EN AMOR 95.3 cancion con cantante en
Amor 95.3 y en iHeartRadio. --- 1890 km = 1174 mi

in all probability PTA but there is one other Amor on 95.3:
XHNB-FM 95.3 SAN LUIS POTOSÍ SLP ROMANTICA AMOR 31.58 kW 7.0 m ---
1612 km = 1001 mi

96.5 at 1925, Spanish JBA; 1957 news about China - first world news I
have heard on any of these! Radio Educación ID, `Nuestro Mundo`
program; 2000 lists of its network relay stations; briefly over Tulsa;
note low power. Nice to hear the FM side of XEPPM 6185 SW!
XHEP-FM 96.5 CD. DE MÉXICO CDMX ULTURE RADIO EDUCACIÓN 3.0 kW -34.4 m
BAT --- 1890 km = 1174 mi

93.3 at 1934, romantic music over OKC, 1937 :37 timecheck. No specific
romantic format listed, but maybe closest and to PTA, maybe:
XHEXZ-FM relays:AM 560 93.3 ZACATECAS ZAC SPANISH HITS BALADAS LUPE
50.0 kW 402.98 m Tx site Cerro de la Virgen [de GuadaLUPE no doubt]
--- 1583 km = 984 mi to the cerro

93.7 at 1953, ``Joviendo 93-7``, adstring, over KSPI Stillwater.
Strange word, maybe slang, meaning ``being young``? Maybe play on
words with this station name meaning jewel? Or joyviendo?
XEJP-FM 93.7 CD. DE MÉXICO CDMX CLASSIC HITS STEREO JOYA 60.48 kW
632.0 --- 1890 km = 1174 mi

Add-on to other logs above take us to 2001; seems over by 2006 and
when back online I check DXMAP at 2015 to see a 103 MHz Es blob close
to the Laredos accounting for all this! BTW in this sesquihour of DX,
I never heard any X+ callsign mentioned (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. As I am completing the June 27 Es FM DX reports,
by 1610 UT June 28 MORE big openings are in progress, so back to the
car for 2+ hours. ND, SD, MB, MT; and separately from LA & TX at
least, including, 96.7 KOYE Frankston TX, only 530 km = 329 miles!
Extremely strong sporadic E for a path so close! These openings will
take a lot more time to research and report fully; and there may be
even more to come. Got to take advantage of this summer Es, as there
will soon be ~10 months of nothing.

I had to miss much of the latest January 6 hearing starting at 1700,
but will catch replay later. Notable that not a single FM station,
nearby or DX, was broadcasting it, as great threats to our Democracy
don`t matter to them! --- except on KOSU and probably KWOU from NPR.
No doubt more NPR stations were on it but not skipping out. Quit for
R&R and lunch after 1816, I find it not only on TV from PBS, MSNBC and
CNN, surely CSPAN but not checked; but also on mainstream ABC, CBS,
NBC, and even Fox News Channel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2144 monitoring: confirmed UT

** U S A. On June 28, I replied to Jeff White about the WRMI splatter
problem: At 0640, 9455 seems to be clear. At 1521, also, altho maybe
not strong enough to be sure, only S7/S9 on generous meter. Also
sounds undermodulated as do others of your frequencies. Old
transmitters can`t handle 100%? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
