** OKLAHOMA. Surprised to see this in Mike Bugaj`s daily FCC update
for Thursday March 28 {sic, March 27} on the WTFDA FMDX-NA list:
KJAL    91.9    McAlister    OK    ex KBCW-FM
KJAR    95.9    Woodward    OK    ex KCSC-FM
WTFDA FM Database already has the new calls, and supposedly still
classical like 90.1 KUCO, but not specified as relaying it. However,
FCC, both AM Query and LMS show both calls only as D-eleted somewhere
else! So I Contact KUCO: ``Please explain what`s going on with
McAlester & Woodward. FCC info shows these have new calls, KJAL and
KJAR, and I no longer hear KBCW or KCSC mentioned on your IDs for
KUCO. Have you sold them off to EMF or something?`` Under normal
conditions I can`t hear either of them in Enid; think I heard 95.9
under a previous previous call when tropo were up (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. Re my 790 log assumed to be KGHL Billings MT, Tim Hall
replies: ``Another possibility: KFGO also runs CBS news, also uses the
"mighty 7-90" slogan, and is phonetically more similar to KSVN.`` --
Tnx, Tim, yes, I overlooked that one in the NRC AM Log. Could be, but
let`s compare their powers and direxionality: KFGO Fargo ND is U2
5000/5000, totally northward at night, while KGHL is U1 5000/1800,
i.e. non-direxional day and night.

Then March 28 at 0634 UT slightly above the pileup, local weather with
a low of 24, I think, so in the North, but no further clues, 0637 into
C2CAM. KFGO is on that net, not KGHL. Of course, by now it could be a
totally different C2CAM station.

But meanwhile: ``Latest IRCA Slogans List compiled by Kraig Krist

of course a mere translator, K276CO, per NRC AM Log, and in
Fayetteville per Radio-locator.com with 1290 coverage maps showing it
right on the OK border east of Tulsa, apparently a smidgin on the AR
side. And address in Rogers AR. Unusual to hear it, so bet it`s on day
power in the nightmiddle.  It`s 300 km = 186 stmi from Enid. Note
recently Jan 27 at 0740 I had an open carrier on 1290. I don`t find
any definite log by me of KUOA in the past 20 years. As of the 2020

** U S A. 790 kHz, March 27 at 0700 UT, ``Mighty 790, KSVN`` sounded
like, but no such call listed. In NRC AM Log, the only Mighty on 790
is KGHL Billings MT, U1 5000/1800. CBS news followed and that also
fits for KGHL. Any station ending in -90 is tempted to brand itself
rhymingly as ``mighty`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

1420 AM`` = that leads in NRC AM Log to KBHS Hot Springs
AR, U1 5000/87 - dominating, sounds like
more than 87 watts. WTFDA FMDB has one frequency match for same
station, but not so hot, only ``La Zeta``. 106.3 is of course a mere

``Sources from the U.S. Agency for Global Media and Congress have

federal employees of Radio Martí will return to their jobs. According
to the information provided, Radio Martí's transmissions to Cuba, as

be restored progressively. This return marks a key step in the
reactivation of the station, which has been a key source of
information for Cubans, offering free information, news and analysis
on the reality inside and outside the island``

``Federal employees of R Martí`` does not necessarily include the
operational staff of GB. Does not mean GB can turn SW right back on at
short notice, maybe never. Producing programming but only on web at

** ITALY. Roberto Pavanello replies to my Italcable report on 10000
kHz:
Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2025 at 09:41:02 PM UTC
Subject: [playdx2019] Amici Italcable
https://dariotion.wordpress.com/tag/amici-di-italcable/

This claims it does have some kind of authorization and runs 90
watts:

``Radio & Tech… amici di italcable
La giornata delle stranezze (3/3) 17 gennaio 2016 dariotion

La terza cosa, probabilmente la più enigmatica di oggi, è una
trasmissione tonale (il suono, non il passo) sui 10.000 KHz.

Da una rapida ricerca, il segnale pare essere attribuito a una
stazione del Viareggino, che trasmette una sorta di codifica oraria.

La stazione – amatoriale, con 90W di potenza – appartiene alla
associazione “Amici di Italcable”, che ha anche uno (scarno) sito Web
ed è presieduta dal sig. Marco Volpe.

Non ci sono grandi informazioni sul sito, né per quanto concerne
l’associazione ne relativamente ai tre progetti citati nella home page
(segnale orario sui 10 MHz, sui 15 MHz e generica rete di sensori open
source).

`9995 to 10005 kHz: This is set aside for standard time and frequency
stations, like WWV and WWVH on 10000 kHz.`

E’ strano che una stazione amatoriale trasmetta su queste frequenze
(sono riservate nel band plan HF per trasmissioni orarie non
amatoriali), ma sul sito è citata una autorizzazione del Ministero
dello Sviluppo Economico (pur senza dettagli sulla stessa).

Ho fatto una ricerca – senza pretesa di essere esaustiva – sui
registri del Ministero, ma non sono riuscito a risalire a ulteriori
informazioni.

Nel sito c’è anche un’indirizzo email: ora provo a scrivere e a
chiedere qualche info.

Stay tuned…

P.S. ho trovato un richiamo sul sito del CISAR, che fornisce ulteriori
dettagli sulla Associazione; in particolare:

Nell’estate del 2012 nasce in via Del Borgo 6 a Viareggio (Lucca)
l’Associazione Amici di ItalCalble ; ad essa viene rilasciata la
licenza ministeriale n. 354616/LOR per trasmettere su 10 MHz il
segnale orario italiano, quello generato a Torino dall’INRIM –
Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica. Viene utilizzato un
trasmettitore Plessey ed un’ntenna Dipolo 1/2 onda dalle
coordinate JN53DV con 90 watt di potenza.``

Maybe I know too much Italian, but it seems to me that most
Anglophones could figure out most of the words. That blog has a lot of
interesting stuff, a little in English and none recently. I assume it
was by some Dario other than Monferini, but could not find any full
name. Like so many bloggers they don`t give themselves any credit by
name (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

All other services to Africa and to the Far East are gone. They also
have shut down all the feeds to local FM stations in Africa and
elsewhere.

Judge freezes Trump plan to dismantle Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty
March 26, 202511:22 AM ET David Folkenflik

A federal judge has temporarily barred the U.S. Agency for Global
Media and Kari Lake, President Trump's senior adviser at the agency,
from moving ahead with plans to cut off all federal funds to Radio
Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

The international network is in court in Washington, D.C., seeking a
permanent reversal of Lake's orders to kill all funding for it and to
wind down all operations, despite a congressional appropriation of
$ 142 million for the network in the current fiscal year...

Extravagnzo` as still shown on sked. Next:

** U S A. WTWW update from George McClintock, early UT March 26: solid
state amplifier had a problem, putting the 9930/5920 TOMBS transmitter
off for a couple days, now replaced and back on air; today already on
5920, changed early. The other transmitter may be off for up to two
weeks more, awaiting a replacement tube, at a better price from China
than rebuilding or a new one here. Tuning up on a low band but not on
a higher band, like 5085 vs 9475 was the same problem it had when on
Anguilla [I guess 6090 vs 11775]. By 2330 March 26, only 9930 is on
the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, UT Wed Mar 26 at 0030, one of dozens of `Wavescan`
airings on WRMI. Mid-part 0042-0051 about USAGM/VOA situation as of
March 19. Jeff quoted Kari Lake, NPR report, Jose Jacob obs of which
broadcasts were off the air, also Thailand, Philippines; Vatican and
Korea via Greenville; including some clips.

First item voiced by Ray Robinson referred to ``C M Stanbury [II] in
the USA`` getting a QSL for Commando Solo long ago. I can`t be
positive where he was on a particular date, but his QTH was Crystal
Beach, Ontario, on Lake Erie west of Buffalo USA, south of Niagara
Falls.

CMS2 hasn`t come up in a long time. Is not even in Wikipedia. He was a
prolific DX author, such as for Electronix Illustrated, and here are
some examples from 1969-70 of his own SW Newsletter, `published` by
multiple? carbon copies of his dirty-keyed typewriter with numerous
typos or strikeovers:
https://www.radioheritage.com/otsw/Newsletters/Short_Wave_Newsletter_Stanbury-II_1969-70.pdf

IIRC he was handicapped in some way. He`s hardly present on the
internet, except for some more at that site. I don`t find an obit or
even a bio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Mar 25 at 2328, WLCR on WBCQ is finally back on air,
in Portuguese, VG into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 600, March 26 at 0650 UT, again two Coast-to-Coast-AM
affiliates *very* far out of synch, WMT IA as always on top. I finally
time the difference as 57! seconds, which is far more than satellite
delay or internet delay could account for. At 0700 I can`t catch any
ID of the understation, just WMT, but probably KTBB TX, or maybe WREC
TN; Fox ``news``, which is listed for all 3 of them (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9162-9223~, March 26 at 0608, multi-carrier, multi-tones
beating over this wide 61-kHz range, gradually tapering off at the
edges and peaking at S9+25 circa 9214. What is this? Previous log:
9162-9219, March 24 at 0644 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10024 USB, March 26 at 0606, JBA 2-way ATC contact
between plane and ground. Klingenfuß shows numerous cities in South &
Central America. Sounds like English, the lingua franca of ATC even in
Latin America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
