compared to BBC as I have to turn volume up to max. Suppressed by
simulcarrier from EAST TURKISTAN, std denunciation, but no modulation
from it until 2311. VOT starts with complete English schedule, except
the times I notice, 22-23 and 03-04 UT, are WRONG, like during
A-season one hour earlier than now; so probably they were all
announced wrong and frequencies as well. Something`s always awry at
Ankara. From News, to Review of the Tuerkiyeish Press at 2313 vs
CCCCCCI well under but still an annoyance. 2316 song break, just as we

to THN/Fox/WW1/CMP/RA//SRN (RI)`` (NRC DX News Dec 13, published Dec
5)

NO, IT ISN`T! Just checking now at 2333 UT December 5, 1640 is still
// 1390 KCRC Enid Sportstalk --- well, almost: 1640 runs about 2
seconds behind 1390; why? 96.9 is separate with far-right talk.

That story was in radioinsight.com so here it is in full:

``KQOB REBRANDS AS FREEDOM 96.9
by Lance Venta November 22, 2022
Freedom 96.9 KQOB
1640 The Eagle KZLS Enid Oklahoma City

Champlin Broadcasting Conservative Talk “The Eagle 96.9” KQOB
Enid/Oklahoma City and 1640 KZLS Enid rebranded today as “Freedom
96.9“.

KZLS began simulcasting on KQOB at the start of this year after the
96.9 signal was leased to Citadel and Cumulus Media for nineteen
years. The station features a completely syndicated lineup including
Hugh Hewitt, Brian Kilmeade, Dan Bongino, Mike Gallagher, Joe Pags,
and Bill O’Reilly. The station is teasing the addition of Dana Loesch
to the lineup as well.

KQOB/KZLS registered a 0.6 share in the October 2022 Nielsen Audio
ratings placing it well behind iHeartMedia’s 1000 KTOK’s 2.0 share,
but ahead of Tyler Media’s 1520 KOKC/95.3 K237GE and its 0.4 share.

Lance Venta is Owner and Publisher of RadioInsight.com. Lance also
advises stations, talent and brands on digital content strategies,
programming integrations, and brand extensions.

Lance Venta doesn`t know what he`s talking about, assuming 1640 is //
96.9 whatever it become.

Also here`s a recent log of KZLS as sports, from Terry Krueger in FL
at 0732 UT Nov 30:

``1640 KZLS OK Enid – 11/29 0232 – Fox Sports Radio football babble,
parallel station stream. (TK-FL)`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.017, Dec 5 at 2314, VOT English to N America, VG S9+40
intercepted at UTwente, but with some hum. You never know what part of
the hour will contain regular features. `Feeling Supreme` starts
already at 2314, about health benefits of row ovens ---? What? Oh,
it`s ``row almonds``, mispronouncing raw. They combat bad cholesterol,
until 2320. Music break and 2327 it`s `New Day, New Choices` about gas
powered classic cars vs EVs and how various countries are planning
transitions. 2351 recheck, signing off and now I can hear some CCCCCCI
well under, 2354* before one IS iteration can play, uncovering XJPBS,
std denunciation, which is only S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 15420, Dec 5 at 1628, open carrier S7/9+10; 1629 African
talk and music starts, and accurate 5+1 timesignal at strange time on
half-hour 1630. Listed as BBC in Kinyarwanda/Kirundi M-F at 1630-1700
via Talata, MADAGASCAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13563.5 CW, Dec 5 at 1625, HIFER beacon PCO, Pine, Colorado,
is JBA vis CODAR swirshes; no K6FRC on 13565 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re: 13927 USB, Dec 4 at 1541, ``MARS Radio`` contacting
``Aircraft 02``, latter unheard tho presumably simplex. And what and
where exactly is this MARS Radio? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

They are volunteer MARS stations so the location may change depending
who is on shift. They provide phone patch and other services as per:
http://marsradioglobal.us/
They actually have a remote SDR (they own it) here that I host for
expanded coverage when needed (Don Moman, VE6JY, Lamont, Alberta)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2166 monitoring, Correxion: mixed up two WBCQ
channels. Posted as 5130, should be 6160, fixed:

Also confirmed promptly at 0400 UT Monday November 28 on Area 51
webcast; also WBCQ 6160 -63 Hz = 6159.937, JBA into Missouri SDR; JBA
to VP with ACI de 6165 CUBA, into Maryland SDR averaging -65 Hz =
6159.935. The difference could of course be due to slightly different
receiver calibrations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2167 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
December 4 at 2100 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S8/S9 into nearby
Noale SDR; little QRM, but some storm crashes: major one around Corfu,
minor ones in NW Italy, and SW of Iberia. Nothing on 918 or 207 kHz.

Also confirmed UT Monday December 5 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 into
Maurice LA SDR.

Not confirmed UT Monday December 5 at 0130 on WRMI 5950, replaced by
VORW from 0100 as now on skedgrid.

Confirmed UT Monday December 5 from 0401.4 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160 minus
63 Hz = 6159.937, S8/S6 into Maryland SDR with storm crashes: only
areas are around Bermuda and Campeche. Next:

0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba]

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130, UT Mon Dec 5 at 0315, WBCQ R. Angela, Concert Hall,
S7/S9 into Maryland SDR and only -1 Hz at first, later drifting to -4;
with `Carmina Burana` in progress for rest of hour. Previewed as music
by Carl Orff, so I knew this favorite of mine had to be primary.
Unfortunately no playlist details published about performance or his
other music in following hour. I happened to be changing from speaker
to headphones just when the intervening announcement was made. By 0448
the noise/signal ratio from storms around Bermuda and/or Campeche had
increased to make this unlistenable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Dec 5 at 00734, JBA carrier presumed R. Vanuatu
third harmonic reactivated after absence several nights; but nothing
audible on 7890.

Lucio Otavio Bobrowiec, Brazil, agrees: ``Hi all, R. Vanuatu back at
0805, 05/12, 11835 kHz good, 7890 kHz poor, male talks.``

[and non]. Gary Pence, TX: ``0702z, No Nigeria, No Mexico 6185;
Vanuatu to KFS remote, S6 on 3945, S6 on 7890; 11835 nil`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7720, Dec 5 at 0732, JBA AM carrier -- no, not 7730
WRMI. Also 2-way in Spanish on USB, coincidence? No broadcaster known
on 7720 and unlikely to be MW harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
