ACCESS TO A-19 SW SCHEDULES via:
http://www.worldofradio.com

** AUSTRALIA. 9610, August 7 at 1302, South Asian song W&M duet at
S3-S5, but I bet it`s a gospel huxter trying to ingratiate itself with
victims: Yes, HFCC shows RBA Kununurra, in Tamil this semihour daily,
but don`t you believe it`s that simple. EiBi shows 5 different
languages, depending. First half on Wednesdays is in MALalayam (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA [and non]. 6070-, Aug 7 at 1954 while my noise level has
abated, I again try for the JBA NAFTA midday carriers on 49m, and
there they are: CFRX, as well as 5950 WRMI and 6185 XEPPM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 7 from 1346: 10160 Chinese JBA;
10960 JBA carrier; 11120 Chinese JBA; no more WOOBs up to 15 MHz on a
poor propagation morning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, Aug 7 at 1952 UT, line noise level has abated, and I
detect the JBA carrier from Radio Rebelde, but strangely there are
also audible pips at the rate of 40 per minute superimposed. An
artifact around here, or transmitted that way? Something`s frequently
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, Aug 7 at 0611, RHC English is S9+20 of JB modulation,
better than 6000 which is off; while 6165 is S9 and barely audible vs
high noise level. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, Aug 7 at 1354, RHC is S9+10 but suptorted, while //
15140 is OK. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 11769.9, Aug 7 at 2008, S6-S7 of undermod talk from Voice
of Nigeria, yet one of the better signals now on 25m (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Via Benn Kobb and Mike Cooper, we had advance
notice of this event:

``U.S. Nationwide Emergency Test Today --- In the United States, the
next Nationwide Test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) is scheduled
for today, Aug 7 2019, at 2:20 p.m. ET.

All radio and TV stations must participate. The test will not be
transmitted via Wireless Emergency Alerts (mobile phones). Moreover,
the test will not be distributed via the Internet so stations will
have to get the originating signals directly by radio from assigned
sources.

These tests tend to expose audio impairments and transmission
glitches, which is why the government keeps scheduling them. Some
stations 'forward' (rebroadcast) the tests immediately, some delay it
and some don't do anything at all, though required by law. Stations
must report their readiness and test results via three FCC forms.

The equipment required to create, obtain and forward EAS alerts is
complex and requires periodic, expensive upgrades. Few manufacturers
produce these devices. Among non-profit community stations, there is a
desire to open-source these products, which would require approval of
FCC and FEMA and, apparently, issuance of cryptographic keys to device
makers.

This is only a test and no action is required of the radio and TV
audience. However, the FCC has stated:

"Members of the public and interested stakeholder organizations that
are in a position to observe test results in their communities can
provide useful feedback on the nationwide test, including any problems
observed or any complications in the delivery of the EAS message
during the nationwide test by reporting their observations to the
Public Safety Support Center at
https://www.fcc.gov/general/public-safety-support-center."``

I set an alarum a few minutes prior to 1820 UT, but I had just started
lunch. I do grab the PL-880 for some quick chex, and indeed the EAS
tones start at 1820 on KOSU 91.7, then switching to AM, also on KGWA
960, VVKigriega 930, KTOK 1000; and KOKP 1020 --- only the last one
has noisy background, but announcement is still readable. And it`s all
over by 1822. How can we do any significant evaluation in such a short
time, especially while lunching? O, yeah, record the entire
AM/FM/TV/cable spectrum and sort it out later. Not me; did anyone,
unofficially? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 92.1 WBFM, Aug 6 at 2232 UT while futilooking for a
sporadic E opening (later learn that Rob Ross in ON was getting OK), I
notice that KAMG-LP Enid is finally off after having run dead air for
about 3 months after one day of pretend-programming; what a waste,
just to try to block my DX. Well, I hope it`s gone for good (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PANAMA [non]. 9955, Wed August 7 at 1306, DX program in Spanish via
WRMI, and sure sounds like Manolo de la Rosa, who retired from RHC two
or three years ago, soon outro as part 3 of a talk about the Titanic,
but no name given. Would he be mortified to be broadcast now by the
gusana station? The show is `Antena DX`, host Víctor Gutiérrez then
listing its sked on WRMI and WBCQ frequencies without saying which
stations, and I think omitting the very broadcast I am listening to,
if they were cited in time order. On next at 1311 to the AER DX
report, featuring African stations in Congo DR and Guinea Ecuatorial,
once again including R. CANDIP as if it still exist on 5066, and RNGE
Malabo as if it still exist on 6250. He always laboriously spells out
P and E-mail addresses of each station, most of which are in English.
Also DWD on 5905, 6180. Once again he is not named in the outro, so I
won`t either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1993 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday August 7
at 2100 on WRMI 9955, which was on NLT 2055 with IS & ID loop, but
joining WOR a few sex late, ``---with World of Radio 1993---``.
Earlier thought WBCQ would also be audible, but now the line noise is
blasting again, reducing it to a JBA carrier, but WOR confirmed L&C on
the 7490.18v webcast.

Also confirmed UT Thursday August 8 at 0119 check the 0100 on WRMI
7780, fair S9+10 without HNL.

Next WOR 1994 should be finished by the end of UT August 8, ready for
webcasting, and from August 9 broadcasting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.177, Aug 7 at 1955, JBA carrier while my line noise is
off, so WBCQ must be on this early already on a Wednesday, prior to
`Financial Survival` at 2000.

Unlike August 5, no sign of an early test from WRNO 7505 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, Aug 7 at 0607, WTWW-1 is S9+10 of dead air; if it were
modulating, it would still be under-.

9475, Aug 7 at 2005, no signal from WTWW-1 day frequency either, nor a
trace on 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Aug 6 at 2111, KVOH is still on with S9 music, but
with BFO, carrier seems to be cutting off & on very rapidly; on AM it
sounds like a crackle. Also sounds different depending on whether R75
AGC is off, slow or fast, latter being default (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRELAND [non]. 7290, August 5 at *1814, ITALY [non], IRRS via
ROMANIA via UTWente SDR, cuts on blasting signal but with heavy
selective fading distortion, during tail end of a promo for

https://www.nexus.org/member-services/radio-and-tv/schedules/monday-program-schedule/
IRRS never acknowledges any location but ``Milano``, even in HFCC, but
believed to be Saftica, Romania, still in use altho one of the

for it. That website leads to:

``Radio Curious: Long Form Interviews About Life and Ideas -- Welcome
to the 28th year of Radio Curious, now proudly part of the Library of
Congress, and broadcast weekly on approximately 85 radio stations.

Here you will find over 700 half hour interviews on a curiously wide
array of topics concerning life and ideas. These programs are a gift
to you from Radio Curious host and producer Barry Vogel. He started
Radio Curious in 1991, to expand the work he began in 1974 as an
Attorney, Counselor and Mediator in Ukiah, California, the Mendocino
County seat, located about 110 miles north of San Francisco,
California.

THIS WEEK’S INTERVIEW: My guest in this program is Wesley Swearingen.
Agents at the Federal Bureau of Investigation have a history of
illegal break-ins to homes and offices and conducting wiretaps without
a search warrant. In the years when J. Edgar Hoover was the Director
of the F.B.I., these warrantless break-ins came to be known as
“black-bag jobs”. This archive edition of Radio Curious is a December
1995 interview with Wesley Swearingen a former F.B.I. agent, who in
1995 wrote “FBI Secrets: An Agent’s Expose.”

All programs are free for anyone to enjoy, download, copy, share or

** OKLAHOMA. 740, KRMG Tulsa was off the air for a while;
unfortunately I missed it, but here`s why: No video yet on website,
but there was on the KFOR noon news August 6. Other OKC and Tulsa TV
stations probably covered this (gh)

WOMAN ARRESTED IN CONNECTION TO DEADLY ATTEMPTED COPPER THEFT AT RADIO
TOWER --- Angie West [portrait = mugshot]

SAND SPRINGS, Okla. – A woman was arrested in connection to a
suspected copper theft at a radio station’s transmitter site in
northeast Oklahoma that left one person dead and another in critical
condition.

Just before 10 a.m. Sunday, authorities with the Tulsa County
Sheriff’s Office were called to the KRMG AM transmitter site in Sand
Springs. According to the Tulsa World, an engineer checked on an
interrupted signal and found one man dead with wire pliers in his hand
and another man severely burned, convulsing on the ground.

KRMG reports the injured man was taken to the hospital in critical
condition. Officials have not yet identified the man who died.

The Tulsa World reports 37-year-old Angie West was arrested in
connection to the incident. She reportedly told deputies she had taken
the men to the area to take copper around midnight. She says she fell
asleep in the car and when she woke up, she left. West was arrested
and booked into the Tulsa County jail on a complaint of first-degree
murder.

CMG Tulsa Market Vice President Cathy Gunther released a statement
following the incident.

“Early this morning two individuals broke into the KRMG AM transmitter
site. It appears they attempted to access a building through a conduit
and were electrocuted. One of the individuals is deceased and one was
transported to the hospital. From the tools and materials found at the
site, it appears that they were attempting to steal copper. The safety
of our community is of utmost importance – please do not enter any
transmitter site, for any reason, as the area is extremely dangerous”
(via Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1993 monitoring: confirmed Monday August 5
from 1816.5 on IRRS, 7290-AM, still active via ROMANIA, presumed
Saftica site altho never specified by NEXUS-IBA IRRS IPAR. It had just
cut on at *1814 (see IRELAND [non]), 1815 theme ``Triumphal March from
Aïda`` by Verdi, until WOR start. Blasting signal via UTwente SDR, but
some deep selective fading distortion. This surely puts our best WOR
signal across Europe.

** U S A [and non]. Here`s a great example of how regular bandscanning
can pay off: Despite my local high line noise level (which OG&E blames
on Suddenlink sharing the same poles, waiting for Suddenlink to
remedy), Aug 5 at 1906 I`m running thru the 7 MHz band with BFO for
any signal traces, even at a daypart when nothing would be expected
even without the noise --- and there *is* a JBA carrier on 7505, which
has got to be WRNO, far outside its nominal schedule, 01-04 UT
sometimes, and even outside its registered availability between 22 and
16! Fades up a bit with music, gospel, but cuts off abruptly at 1913*,
a test? Back on at *1917:55 with open carrier; At 1925:45 the gospel
music suddenly surges at S9+10, but that is because my HNL has
unexpectedly cut off temporarily. At 1927, 7505 is gone again. Recheck
at 2141, S9+10 HNL is back on and no WRNO.

While the HNL is off I quickly scan the 49mb, at 1925 and find JBA
carriers just where expected at midday from the NAFTA daytime trio:
6185 XEPPM, 6070- CFRX, and 5950 WRMI! (but no 6160v WBCQ)

Furthermore there is a propagation disturbance in progress, making
most of the SW bands almost dead, even above the noise level boundary
worse below 9 MHz: only decent signals circa 1924 being 12160 and
13845 WWCRs; with 9475 WTWW very poor. WWV reported at 1800:

``Solar flux 67 and estimated planetary A-index 4.

NEW TUCSON RADIO VENTURE TARGETS OLDER 'LOST AUDIENCE'
By Cathalena E. Burch Arizona Daily Star Aug 5, 2019 Updated 1 hr

Tucson radio will welcome a new station today that features some
familiar voices.

This morning, 101.7-FM and 830-AM will go live as KDRI The Drive, a
Tucson-focused music and entertainment station targeting listeners
between the ages of 45 to 64.

Owners Fletcher McCusker, Bobby Rich and Jim Arnold say those are the
listeners that have long been neglected not only in Tucson but
nationwide by corporate-owned radio that focuses on the 25-to-40
segment.

“We kind of view them as a lost audience,” said longtime Tucson
business titan and community activist McCusker, the only one among the
trio who doesn’t have an extensive radio or broadcast background.
McCusker’s only foray into radio was a short stint at KWFM — he was
the underground rock station’s first hire — when he was 19 in the late
1960s.

The trio closed last week on the $ 650,000 purchase of the radio
frequencies that had been home to Christian broadcaster Family Life.
The Drive will play a mix of music from the 1960s through the ’80s and
beyond that they say will appeal to an audience that identifies as
baby boomers, Rich said.

“It’s not classic rock. It’s not golden oldies. But it’s going to be
unique, programmed by Bobby Rich,” McCusker said. “His library right
now is 3,000 songs, so you could literally go weeks without hearing
the same songs.”

When pressed for a clearer definition of the format, Rich would only
say that he planned to “present on The Drive something that
(listeners) will be comfortable with and familiar with and will give
them something that they want, which is information and
entertainment.”

On Thursday, Tucson Radio began playing nonstop novelty songs,
including “Camp Granada” and “Purple People Eater” under the name “The
Worm.” On Monday morning, it switches gears as The Drive with Rich and
Hill Bailey, most recently of KHYT 107.5-FM, in the morning driver’s
seat. . .

Glenn: That will explain what you heard on 830 kHz, via your E/W wire.

Which I assumed to be WUMY Memphis, ruling out Tucson due to its
religious format, but now replaced.

FCC AM Query already has 830 as KDRI, 50/1 kW, Direxional night only,
ex-KFLT really since 7/31. It had been KFLT more than 33 years.
Monthly Local Sunset Times:
August 7:15 [0215 UT]
September 6:30 [0130 UT]
Sunrise times MST:
August 5:45 [1245 UT]
September 6:00 [1300 UT]
FCC pattern maps are Not Found! But NRC Pattern Book VIII of 2013
shows it tight toward the SSE, no good here.

I try for KDRI again Aug 6 at 0210 UT before LSS, but hear only a
bigsig from a WCCO SBG on 830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 880, Aug 6 at 0613 UT, hymns are being heard underneath
JimBo from KRVN Nebraska. First thought would be KHAC, Tse Bonito NM,
the make-the-Navajos-Christian station next to Window Rock AZ, but the
music is on DSB, not USB only as KHAC transmits. Is KLRG Sheridan AR
active or not? Was REL, could be on 220 W night power. It was silent
as of 5/2018 per NRC AM Log published last August. See another
discussion of this situation in DXLD 19-06. At 0630 I hear a jingle
reminding me of REE Spain? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9580, August 5 at 0135, CRI relay is S9+20/30 but
undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. 9570 Albania
relay is still OFF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9640, UT Monday August 5 at 0136, RHC `En Contacto` is
starting, undermodulated but sufficient, also on 11760. Arnie opens
with info that the average sunspot number in July was only 0.9.
Recheck at 0145, Pepe Bueno in Spain is concluding his monthly DX
report on behalf of AER, giving the schedule of Radio CANDIP, Congo DR
on 5066! Don`t you believe it. This station has been inactive for at
least two years. He is probably relying on ``A-19`` schedule info in
the June issue of El Dial-E:

``CONGO DEM.REP. Radio CANDIP Bunia: •
0300-0700 5066vBUN 001 kW / non-dir COD French •
1300-1900 5066vBUN 001 kW / non-dir COD French 5066v=5066,4``

Followed there immediately by another imaginary station long-gone:
``DJIBOUTI Radio Djibouti: • 0300-2200 4780 DBT 050 kW / non-dir EaAf
French/Arabic/Afar``

``B-18 schedules of African Stations`` also from AER were quoted in
Rus-DX of 20 January 2019, not only these but obviously(???) deleted
stations: Chad 6165, Malabo 6250, Hargeisa 7120, Uganda 4976 and
4750!

Last real log of CANDIP we had was from ****2017****, DXLD 17-14:

``CONGO DR. Also R. Candip better than before on 5066.4 till just
after 2000, and also stronger than usual (Thorsten Hallmann, Germany,
March 30, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)``

I try not to critique fellow DX program presenters despite hearing
erroneous info, but just can`t let this one pass. Some of them I
deliberately do not listen to, so can avoid such conflicts. But:
something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. In last report as I was lamenting KROU/KGOU`s lack of
reception in Enid, you may wonder how then I was quoting it on KWOU:
the cited 88.1 KWOU relay of KGOU via Woodward is extremely marginal,
sometimes audible with a little morning tropo, often barely or blocked
by KMSI Moore; and/or rapid choppy peaks in Doppler fading reflected
via Vance airplane scatter, which are always buzzing over Enid
especially in morning flight training (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DXLD)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1993 monitoring: not confirmed but
presumed still there, Sunday August 4 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, JBA
carrier vs HNL totaling S9+10.

Confirmed UT Monday August 5 at 0130 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+20 following
0129 ID for ``Son-Power Radio from studios of WRMI on 5850, 7455
[abandoned years ago], 9395``. While // 7780 is S9+10 in high noise
level.

Also confirmed UT Monday August 5 at 0258 just in time, the 0230 on
WRMI 7780, very poor.

Also confirmed UT Monday August 5 at 0259 on Area 51 webcast, already
in progress during first item about Andorra [non] so started about 3
minutes early. WBCQ 5130.3v JBA at 0327 check when HRI has already
started; no trace vs HNL now nor earlier this evening of 6160v, unlike
last week.

Also confirmed UT Monday August 5 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+10/20,
following some scary music fill at 0328 and soothing music at 0329.
Next:
1816 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania*
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780
0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW [2 editions]*

and Aussie Tim Gaynor told us August 4 that Unique Radio is off TFN
for repairs.

** U S A. 830, August 5 at 0149 UT on E-W longwire, no WCCO, but a
station playing novelty tune, but modulation keeps cutting out, for
variable intervals such as on for 22 seconds, off for 5, on for 24,
off for 8, etc., etc. 0156 UT, ``Happy Trails to You``, barbershop
performance, maybe for a sign-off? No, then ``Fish Heads``, but this
is not Dr. Demento; Of course fades out around hourtop; 0202 UT
another novelty song with cutouts.

On the DX-398 it`s hard to DF, best audible with a slow SAH circa 1 Hz
in WCCO null which is ESE/WNW, but seems to peak a bit CCW from there,
i.e. close to E-W. I don`t see how this could be anything but WUMY
Memphis TN (address in Southaven MS suburb), which last year`s NRC AM
Log shows as: a 3 kW daytimer, but CP for U1 8 kW day, 2 WATTS night,
classic hits format in $ tereo; and of course this is way after sunset
which in August is officially 0045 UT. Also FCC AM Query no longer
shows any such CP, just daytimer license to GMF-Christian Media I LLC

** U S A. BURT WOLF --- TRAVELS & TRADITIONS is an excellent program,
available here only once a week on OETA, Sundays at 2100-2128 UT. It`s
not just a travelogue but deals with a different subject each week. In
current Season 18, two of particular relevance here:

Short Guide To Cell Phone Safety

Description: Burt takes a quick look at the history of communication
from the cavemen to the alphorn, to the telephone and finally the
cellphone. He traces how the cellphone has changed his work and family
life as he travels around the world. He also tracks down a series of
stories in the United States and Europe that suggests that the
cellphone may not be as safe as most of us thought. He meets with
experts in England, Italy, France and the United States to find out
how we can deal with the problems that are emerging. And finally, Burt
follows an Apple developer's conference where they are working on apps
to limit your use of their own products.
