** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, July 4 at 0543, RTA, Arabic via FRANCE with
the self-QRMing beeping Issoudun transmitter. BTW, that was also
applied to 13820 during the July 2 English segment around 1830; but
you never know which transmitter will be in use at which time on which
frequency of RTA, RFI, or some other relay, from one day to the next
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 4 at 1357: 13160 S4; 12820 JBA
carrier; 12800 S9 in Chinese.

At 1423, 13160, S7-S9 music; 1424: 10820 S4-S5; 10920 JBA; 11120;
11440 S5-S6; 11460 JBA carrier; 1428: 13530 JBA.

At 1429: 9180 S5-S8; 9200 S6-S9; 9230 JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, July 3 at 1409, JBA talk here, presumed 2 x 6000 RHC,
which quickly checked is still on and barely audible, but 12000 gone
at 1410*. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, July 3 at 1415, RHC is absent when this is supposed to
be on; 15230 is on but S9-S7 of dead air, or JBM? Something`s always
wrong at RHC. July 4 at 1400 both are on and modulating, VP (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12200, July 4 at 0547, RHC English at S5-S9 vs CODAR, quite
audible but not as big as last time on 2 x 6100. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 13760.2, July 4 at 1429, JBA carrier from presumed VOK
still way off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

possible frequencies. Ditto July 4 at 0558 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9830, July 3 at 2230, VOT, English to NAm
confirmed active today via KiwiSDR Pardinho SP Brasil which I happened
to have just checked for WOR/WRMI; but with heavy splash from much
bigger signal on 9820; at first thought it might be SP`s local R 9 de
Julho, 9818v, but in Chinese, so HFCC as CNR, 150 kW, 290 degrees from
Xi`an; specifically CNR2 per Aoki/NDXC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28281-CW, July 3 at 1420, beacon ID W8E? copied, probably
this which fits with another letter, from WJ5O roster:
``28.281 W8EH C MIDDLETOWN OHIO # 8W, GP VERTICAL``

Sporadic E; in the previous minute also had one on 28205; and on 28255
a K6##, but none listed around there.

** U S A. 7490v, 6160v, 5130v, UT Sat July 4 after 0000, for AAAWWW,
these WBCQs are detectable, very poor signals with storm noise; all I
hear at a quick check is Angela overmodulating an opinion on current
events.

Has been repeating 24 hours later on 7490v at least, but not this
week, as UT Sun July 5 at 0000-0100 is when Uncle Bill`s
much-publicized 4th of July musical special is due, on 7490+v and
6159.9v.

Unfortunately simultaneously with `A Capitol Fourth` on PBS-TV, but
repeated a sesquihour later at least on OETA; and CNN`s 4OJ special at
0000-0400 UT, not to mention countless local events, including Enid,
where the Enid Symphony Orchestra is barreling ahead with its
traditional performance at Meadowlake Park despite the risks; people
are encouraged to spread out as there is plenty of space around the
lake, but in best of times getting in and out is problematic, e.g.
avoiding those burning poison gas, i.e. smokers who think it`s OK as
long as it`s outside; and parking is a nightmare.

I urged conductor Doug Newell to reconsider; what about the musicians
crammed under the canopy? The windy ones at least cannot be masked.
How about recording and/or broadcasting it? He says they don`t have
the rights to do so, which would be an additional expense.

The concert is always free to the public, underwritten this year by
Security National Bank. Starts around 0130 UT after a full day
schedule of other risky events at the Park, and to accompany fireworx
circa 0230 when it`s finally darkening.

To avoid the hassles, the past few years we have been attending
instead dress rehearsals at 4 pm Saturday back in Symphony Center, but
not this year in that enclosed and possibly crowded venue. The
fireworx can of course be seen from a considerable distance away, but
the music inaudible. Years before I had tried to get them to employ a
Part 15 FM transmitter for better sound than over the loudspeakers,
and maybe audible just outside the park in cars. Nix.

ESO apparently is itching to get going again with no performances
since March, the final scheduled concert of the year, an all-Beethoven
bash in April for season subscribers only, postponed. BTW, there
aren`t enough local musicians to form an orchestra, so ESO has to draw
in others from elsewhere in OK. As a 51-K city, we are lucky to have
it and hope all of them survive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, July 3 at 2044, NO signal from WRMI-9 when RFPI is
scheduled on Fridays; normally a JBA carrier at least; while 15825
WWCR & 15610 WEWN do now achieve that much (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7385, July 4 at 0236, this WHRI is now squealing, like 7315
VOV relay previously; now 7315 is also on in English not // gospel
huxters, and also squealing.

9825, July 4 at 0555, WHRI squealing here too with g.h., maybe one of
same transmitters as earlier on 7 MHz. Haven`t they noticed in Cypress
Creek, Furman, Noblesville or South Bend?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, July 4 at 0239, WWCR-4 is back on, non-TOM during this
hour, following several days off for repairs. Day frequency 9980 also
resumed at 1654 check, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also SOUTH
CAROLINA [non]

UNIDENTIFIED. 12670.0-USB, July 4 at 1359, 2-way in Spanish, one of
them screaming, encountered as I bandscan for CNR1 jammers. Per
Klingenfuss 2002y, this was not a ship SSB frequency, but WNU New
Orleans was in CW/DIG on 12670.4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1815 UT July 4

** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, July 2 at 1828, RTA via FRANCE starts ENGLISH
segment, YL historical artistic talk about a painter whose name I
never catch, continuous music background. 1836 into another feature,
`Destination: Algeria` tourist talk by OM about the sights in the
northeast, then northwest; 1841 into Spanish, weekly Latin American
correspondent in Bs. As. about the COVID-19 situation especially in
Brasil. Tnx to Pedro Sedano, Spain, who tipped us on the WOR iogroup
that this hour only carries the International domestic network, not
just Arabic/Qur`an and some French but also English circa 1830 and
Spanish like this. Times could be 1 minute off as I recorded during
significantly home-grown salad lunch and did not listen until later.

AFAWK, this is the only time for English on SW, other than some
scattered IDs. Monitored here VG via UTwente SDR; didn`t try direct
but probably would hear more Cuban jamming against no Martí than RTA.
This hour on one frequency only. Also reported by Alan Roe, UK, and
via UTw, Richard Langley, NB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2041)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 2 at 1339: 14990 VP; 13160 two
signals; 1130 Chinese S5-S7; 12500 & 11440 JBA carriers.

At 1346: 11150 music, 11120 JBA, 11100 & 10920 JBA carriers (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 9490.024, July 3 at 0150, Radio República is VG
S9+20/30 with the jamming underneath JBA for a change. Mentions ``Cuba
libre``, ending newscast with rooster crow. Caught my attention in
bandscan since this far off-frequency, unusual for Issoudun if FRANCE
still be the site with RMI the go-between broker rather than just
putting it on much closer Okeechobee. Europe is hot tonight, 9420
Greece also inbooming with its musical alternative (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 13760.201, July 2 at 1337, VOK exactly same remeasured
off-frequency for second day in a row, S3-S5, usual syrupy choral
music from paradise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2041)

** OKLAHOMA. Re: 1270 KRXO in Tulsa [now in Spanish // 107.9]. Yes
Glenn, KRXO abruptly changed their format a few weeks ago. "The
Franchise" laid off their main morning hosts early in the Pandemic, I
wondered then if the handwriting was on the wall... 107.7 is off the
air, 73 (Chris KC5IIE Krug, Tulsa, OK, July 2, WOR iog)

Chris, OK, but what do you mean by ``107.7 is off the air?`` The only
107.7 in OK is the original KRXO-FM in OKC, still very much on the air
as The Franchise, in English as I am hearing it now (Glenn, Enid, 1459
UT July 2, WOR)

** U S A. 28263-, July 2 at 1424, one 10m beacon is JBA, VVV DE W4JPL
BCN ... LIB ... 05. No /B suffix, just space, BCN. Partial msg copied
after multiple repeats. WJ5O roster shows:
``28.2635 W4JPL C LIBERTY NORTH CAROLINA # 4W, 5/8 VERTICAL``
And QRZ.com:
``W4JPL USA flag USA, JOHN P LLOYD, LIBERTY, NC 27298 USA``
with no further info. Liberty is SE of Greensboro on the way to Siler
City, or forming an equilateral triangle with Greensboro and
Burlington. I logged it as on the minus side of 28263 but listed on
plus side; one of us is mistaken. Very briefly another beacon
audiblized slightly higher in frequency. No Es MUF into FM today;
openings should taper off as we get into July but there could still be
some goodies if we can catch them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be late
July. Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe

** CUBA. 13820, July 1 at 1402, noise jammer grinding away vs nothing,
since that`s a B-season-only Radio Martí frequency, instead on 13605
now, also heavily jammed. Something`s always incompetent and excessive
at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 13760.201, July 1 at 1403, VOK way off-frequency, JBA
talk in unID language. Much weaker 13650 is on 13649.964. The other
ones closer to nominal but unmeasured: 11735, 11710-strongest, 9435
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1270, June 30 daytime I can`t get enough signal from KRXO
Claremore/Tulsa; UT July 1 at 0158 now some skywave helps as I hear
Spanish, ``tu música`` and indeed music right across 0200 hourtop;
0202 ID mentions ``107.9 FM y 1270 AM``; 0510 UT recheck I again hear
``107.9``. Plenty of QRM but this station is generally atop on my E-W
longwire. More music across 0600, until 0603 full ID, the first few
words pronounced sorta English, ``KRXO, Claremore-Tulsa, 1270 AM y
107.9 FM ---- nueva frecuencia``.

I was checking it out after seeing this in Bill Hale`s FM News column
in July WTFDA VHF-UHF Digest:

``OK Oklahoma City 107.9 KRXO-FM Spanish CHR: ‘Ritmo 107.9’``

That can`t be right, as the real full-power KRXO-FM is still on 107.7
in OKC, with stupid sports talk, in English; certainly no room for
another, one channel up! Same owner Tyler Media does have a 107.9
translator in Tulsa of KRXO (AM) 1270; and a CP to move it to nearby
Broken Arrow, per FCC FM Query. However, WTFDA FM Database shows
K300CY, the 107.9 in Broken Arrow is Spanish CHR, Ritmo 107.9,
relaying KRXO 1270.

1270 must be a recent flip, not sure when; believe I still had 1270 in
English sports talk early in June. Radio-locator.com still has it
sports, ``The Franchise``. Site is between Owasso and Claremore, NE of
Tulsa, but plenty coverage of entire metro. 5 kW day pattern does have
a notch toward Enid; 1 kW night pattern less of a notch. Why move the
FM to Broken Arrow, SE of Tulsa? Census data indicates most Hispanic
neighborhoods are in central Tulsa. Maybe it`s going up on a
high-tower antenna farm.

Radio.locator.com coverage map for ``K300CY-FM`` [sic] shows from east
side of Tulsa near ``New Tulsa``, local contour not reaching all of
Tulsa but the distant one does (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2040 monitoring: confirmed the Wednesday July
1 at 2100+ on WBCQ 7490v, good at a Rochester NY SDR checked at 2121,

9395 is back on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

relay, unlike 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9980, July 1 at 1830, WWCR-4 is still AWOL; crashed?

UNIDENTIFIED. 11600-11300, July 1 at 1407-1416, looking for CNR1

between crossings:
11450-11400: 55 seconds
11400-11350: 80 seconds
11350-11300: 205 seconds

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULES
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html

Both updated as of June 30

** ALBANIA [non]. 15770, June 30 at 2030 I happen to tune across here
as the Radio Tirana IS plays via WRMI; soon canned sign on claiming
it`s only on internet, as if this SW relay be inconsequential or even
unknown at HQ! Well, it is just about, as the original 6-day-a-week
schedule has been pared down and down to only one, on Tuesdays,
presumably ceded to paying customers. Off the side here, this one
anyway is unusable, S9-S7 but too much noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey June 30 at 1329: 14850 S9-S6 fluttery;
14400 JBA carrier algo; 15130; 12880 JBA; 12870 S9-S7; 12190 JBA
carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 7254.9v, June 30 at 0550, VON is on already with
open carrier except for some hum; 0559 recheck in IS and sign-on
Hausa; after missing a few nights. This does not deter a ham QSO on
7253-LSB at 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 11769.903V, June 30 at 2033, VON in unknown talk, Hausa
scheduled, S9-S7 but noisy and undermodulated? Often detected in the
afternoons here, always way off-frequency, but haven`t measured it in
quite a while. Carrier slightly unstable too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 92.3, June 30 circa 1430 UT on caradio, on the way to
Primary poll to advance Sen. Inhofe`s opposition, Oklahoma news where
normally only fringe remnants of somethings, KS dominant; non-ID as
``Z-92``, soon obviously the Woodward station which is only 10.5 kW
H&V ERP, altho ``Z-92`` is not in the WTFDA DB:
``KMZE 92.3 WOODWARD OK 10.5 368.0 m 36-16-23 99-26-45 TALK/SPORTS TRI
STATES NEWS TALK SPORTS``.
Searching 92.3 on ``Z-92`` (hyphen required) would lead instead to
stations in FL, NE. Minor tropo enhancement westward (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5890, June 30 at 0552, WWCR-4 is off again,
no Brother Scare here. Daytime channel 9980 also gone, June 30 at 1743
check. So maybe the transmitter be broken, or Overcomer`s virtually
24/7 buyout be over already in less than a full month? Had not paid
attention to whether the previous few hours a weekday with
otherhuxters remain on #4 air: 9980 M-F 20-21; 5890 Tu-Sa 02-04. But
June 30 at 2025, 9980 is also OFF. Maybe we shall see a revised
program schedule after July 1, mostly blank (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, June 30 at 2221, VOT is detectable, but very weak and
unreadable vs no RTTY, but local persistent birdie, talk rather than
music fill. Try UTwente, and find excellent reception, `Turkey`s
Tourist Attraxions` about Mardin, ending into music at 2223 --- one of
the talk programs still being aired if not produced, probably
evergreens. Mardin is in the southeast, i.e. Kurdistan and has a
majority-Kurdish population who spell it Mêrdin. I`ll bet TRT didn`t
emphasize that or even mention it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2040 monitoring: confirmed UT Tue June 30 at
0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA here, good at UTwente SDR. Next:

** U S A. WRMI: see ALBANIA [non]

** U S A. WWCR: see SOUTH CAROLINA [non]

** U S A. 93.1, re my strange reception of KRVN 93.1 over a 319-mile
path, there is of course a #3 possibility for propagation mode ---
meteor scatter. I did not consider this at the time, since it lasted
at least a minute and did not display any rapid fading, both of which
are uncharacteristic of MS --- but the ``in-between`` distance is more
appropriate, and a fireball might have lasted that long. I wonder if
there is any reference of such events and their precise locations and
timings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7755-USB, June 30 at 0544, weak 2-way with ``cambios``,
but don`t recognize any other Spanish. Do they also say ``cambio`` in
Tagalog or any other languages? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, June 29, I am checking unusually before
1300; at 1258, 13070, 12870 in Chinese; 1259, 12800 JBA carrier; 13550
with 5+1 timesignal to 1300*.

1302, 15130, which is vs VOA Mandarin via Philippines this hour only.

At 1354, 12870; 12190 vs CODAR; 11120, 10920, 10820 JBA; at 1358,
14400 JBA carrier; 1359, 9230 & 9215 music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255- & 9690-, June 29 at 0614 check, VON AWOL from both.
Must be disheartening for the program producers back in Abuja or
Lagos; or do they even know or care about the weakest link, ultimate
SW situation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 94.3, June 29 at 1650 and still at 1815 UT, KLGB-LP Enid
in dead air, unusual. This would have been helpful if there were any
DX on 94.1 or 94.5. Most of the time it`s just playing gospel rock,
not even predicating. It started out from a local church and one can
still see it on N Van Buren, but unseems anything else is going on in
that building. LP tower also hosts 99.9 LPFM. Website provided by
radio-locator is blocked by Firefox as security risk. Says ownership
is now Covenant Life Ministries; searching for that leads to a
different address in Enid. I think the station is just plugged into
some satellite feed, except when it fail (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28298-CW, June 29 at 0118, beacon in slow CW, including
K5TLL/B, EM51gg, good between fades. WJ5O roster shows:

``28.298 K5TLL C HATTIESBURG, MISSISSIPPI # 25W, VERTICAL New Freq 14

No FM DX now, but from opposite direxion, Es MUF also provides WWV on
25000 at 0124 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28224.5, June 29 at 1402, at least enough sporadic E MUF to
re-audiblize beacon K5GJR/B plus uncopied grid square. It is:
``28.2245 K5GJR C CORPUS CHRISTI, TX # 5W, VERTICAL``
``K5GJR USA flag USA Randy L Bates, Corpus Christi, TX 78415 USA``

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2040 monitoring: I was not aware of
it at the time, but ``From, the desk of Richard’s listening Post,
Richard Lemke, City: St. Albert, Province: Alberta, Country: Canada
Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees

Dear Glenn: heard World of Radio rescheduled now on 7730 kHz at 0030
June 29 UT (I don’t know if this was the first time heard or longer
period this frequency I gave [up?] on monitoring),

USA, WRMI, 7730 kHz, 0030-0059 UTC, heard World of Radio #2040, 0031,
0044 signal S 7 (453), June 29 UTC (Lemke, Richard -AB)
Good Listening, June 29, 2020``

Yes, I see it now in the System D schedule for UT Mondays, without
notice a significant change since last checked. (BTW it still shows
imaginary WORings at 1030 on 5950, several times 21-22 on System D
without freqencies, Wed 21 on 7780, Sat 1130 on 9955.)

I reconfirm: UT Mon June 29 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, JBA weak vs high
storm noise level, but at 0143 good via UTwente, VG via Maine SDR; and
also on WRN webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon June 29 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, again JBA vs HSNL,
but 0240 VG at Maine.

Also confirmed UT Mon June 29 from 0303 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5130, good
at Rochester NY SDR; ``The Show Is Over`` intoned JL until 0301, then
a couple minutes of A51 wildness, before WBCQ ID and WOR start.

5130 direct is useless; Blitzortung map shows lots of storms
including: SW NE to S MB; E AR; MN/WI; SC; VT/NH.

Also confirmed UT Monday June 29 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, good at TWR
Bonaire KiwiSDR.

Also confirmed Monday June 29 from 1800:37 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria as
monitored via UTwente SDR; tuned in at 1757 to open carrier vs RTTY
wobble on 7291, evitable on LSB, and inevitable splash from 7280
Vietnam, 7300 Iran; a few seconds before 1759 cut on modulation which
I immediately recognize as within a `Wavescan` as Ray starts talking
about Gough Island. IRRS also stix fragments of WOR on air as filler
unpredictably. That`s chopped off a few sex before 1800 for IRRS
sign-on, the n/a one recommending synch tuning to reduced carrier USB
which this is not; FSN Washington very quick headlines and then WOR.
Running OK past 1810; and 1820 recheck;

(but sudden thunder here thrice around 1824/1826/1828 despite none
predicted, and no storms anywhere near per Blitzortung which does also
detect them: popups, and hasten to close down antennas and computers.)
Next:

0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 4980, June 29 at 0227, JBA carrier, presumed still/again
WRMI few watts of exciter only as marker, in case they want to resume
100 kW upon it. I can`t make out any modulation, nor at 0615, but
Anker Petersen, Denmark, reported earlier to the NASWA Flashsheet:

``4980 USA. WRMI, Okeechobee, FL, 0150-0155, 25.6. English talk, music
and song. 15231 // 5010 (25333). (Anker Petersen, Skovlunde, Denmark.
Equipment: AOR AR7030Plus with 28 metres of longwire``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5050, June 29 at 0226, WWRB with gospel huxter at S9+30/40;
only active frequency and only on weekends; the most underutilized of
US SW stations, wonder why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, June 29 at 0620, WWCR-4 is OFF, so no TOM, sob! But
he`s still on squealy 3215; 5935 DGS is on but weakish; 4840 VG with
OTR drama, instead of scheduled Overcomer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. I recently remarked that `Wavescan` did not have a regular
themesong; in fact it does, as in script for June 21 edition, it`s:
``Opening Theme (00:00) Birthday Serenade: Willi Glahe``

But it was surprisingly replaced by something else when I listened
June 27 at 1501 on KVOH 17775, probably first advance airing of June
28 edition: ``Opening Theme (00:00): Youtube: Quarantine Anthem``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7315, June 29 at 0128, horrible squeals coming out of WHRI
during Voice of Vietnam relay, making own audio hard to follow;
spreads 7305-7325 but somewhat elbowed by VOA/Vatican violating SOCAS
on 7305. With BFO I try to zero beat the multiple peaks to approx.:
7309.4, 7313.2, 7313.7, 7316.3, 7317.5, 7319, 7321 as they beat
against each other as well as the fundamental. Tuned directly to
7315.0, one can also tell modulation is distorted; first thought it
was Spanish instead of scheduled Vietnamese. 7315 squealing still at
0225 during WHRI`s own gospel music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 93.1, June 29 at 1642 UT on caradio, I`ve been alert for Es,
altho when I departed, DXMAPs were not showing MUFs 88+ MHz. Among
several semi-open frequencies, My 93.1 in Hutchinson is getting CCI,
which at this time totally overtakes it with PSAs about Nebraska,
mentions Rural Radio Network (as on KRVN AM 880 et al.), then ``93.1
the River`` ID. So it is per WTFDA FM Database:

``KRVN-FM 93.1 LEXINGTON NE 100.0 kW H&V, 271.2 m HAAT, 40-41-48
99-47-18, COUNTRY 93.1 THE RIVER``

Trouble is, distance city-to-city is 514 km = 319 statute miles ---
too close theoretically for sporadic E, at least without a huge
high-MUF opening; yet far too far for groundwave lacking a tropo
opening. A fluke of some sort or other, but which could it be? (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** VIETNAM [non]. See USA: WHRI for horrible squeals on 7315 relay
