** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2095 monitoring: NOT confirmed
Sunday July 18 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 918 kHz, Villa Estense;
rather IRRS ID, and back to music, S9+25 including noise level at
Noale SDR.

Confirmed Sunday July 18 at 2200 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 minus 111 Hz
= 6158.889 kHz into Maine SDR. 6160 presumably had been on all day now
with TOMBS but at 2157 tune-in the usual The Planet ID and IS loop was
playing. At 2200 cut back to TOMBS for a few sex before WOR start at
S9+10.

Also confirmed Sunday July 18 at 2250 the 2230 on WRMI 9955, S8-S9
over a trace of pulse jamming, into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 19 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 19 at 0130 on WRN N America webcast.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 19 at 0230 on WRMIs: 5800 into Bonaire
SDR but some squeal in USB & LSB modes at S6-S8 but S9+10/15 in AM
mode; and 7780, S9+10 into UTwente Holland SDR. Both were playing

with wacko World`s Last Chance Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Previous report about WTWW said 9950: typo for 9940 (gh)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, July 19 at 0232 via Bonaire SDR, weak carrier
S4-S5 in LSB-narrow mode vs 4980 WRMI splash; in SAM mode carrier
offset varies plus 5 to minus 1 Hz. Maybe a trace of modulation on
4975. Could be Latin American rather than European (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6115, July 19 at 0531, JBA carrier: very intriguing, as
CONGO Brazzaville was reported to have permanently closed down SW
several months ago, but this used to be a possible time to hear it.
The only other 6115 at this hour is R. Nikkei-2, JAPAN, but it`s
awfully early before sunset there especially in summer: 0953! UT.
Also, there is NO signal on clear 6055, sibling R. Nikkei-1; both of
which are supposed to be on air during long span. BTW, WRTH classifies
these SW as National only, not International (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

humbuzz over JBA modulation; 6100 sufficient; all others off, 6165,
6000 and 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, UT Sun July 18 during pre-bedtime relaxation?
KUCO-FM Edmond which is supposed to be relaying overnight classical
music from WCPE in NC, instead at 0537-0549 is firing its canned ID,
the same one over and over, every few minutes, long dead air, bit of
some classical music, and again. Finally Kimberly announces that they
are in backup programming while maintenance is underway. She
introduces the same fill music again but it`s always being
interrupted. I time starts of several IDs at these separations: 4:19,
2:20, 2:19, 2:25 minutes. They are joint with two satellites likely
affected same way: 91.9 KBCW McAlester, and 95.9 KCSC Woodward.
Probably kept doing this all night like last time; when I spread the
word as a defacto meteor scatter DX test, but then there were nothing
but IDs back-to-back every 34 seconds (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

JBA carrier on 9330, S2 including noise level. Homepage still has

** U S A. 5085, July 18 at 0614, WTWW-2 on late as happens

off-the-wall? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (91.7), July 18 before and after 0500 UT, KALW San Francisco
webcast during `Tangents` eclectic music and ethnic show which is one
of my favorites, host Dore Stein informs that from next week Tangents
will be cut in half, two hours instead of four, 05-07 UT Sun instead
of 03-07. Newish GM is revamping programming with 6 new DJs on
weeknights, 03-07 UT which somehow requires cutting down older shows
on weekends. He plays clips of her justifications and contradicts
them. Feels it is unfair and counterproductive to reduce his hours by
50%. A lot of the KALW schedule contains non-local shows duplicated on
KQED et al. Dore also explains about this in his own newsletter, which
I posted on the WOR iog. Also sent it to the internetradio hcdx group
but it bounced as ``too big`` pending approval. Too bad, since there
is so little traffic on that list anyway. More at
https://www.tangents.com and https://www.kalw.org/ (Glenn Hauser, OK,

cutoff just as lyrix start at 1729.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer check just in time July 17 at 1358: JBA carrier
on 12820, but S8-S9 Chinese music/talk on 12880, 13020, 13130. I`m
tuned to the last one until 1400 timesignal and abruptly off* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7105, 7130, 7140, 7150, 7157, 7165, July 17 at 0632, approx.
peaks of weak pulse jamming from Cuba; vs no hamcomms at all heard
near them. July 18 at 0308, only one is 7165 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE [non]. 9395, July 18 at 0000, Atlantic 2000 special via WRMI
as publicized; +31 Hz carrier offset, more than usual for WRMI.
Multi-lingual ID opens but then DJ in French for their July emission,
to include music dedications. Starts with Lovin` Spoonful from 1966,
in English. Strange how so many European/Free/pirate stations play
nothing but the narrow genre of rock, as rechecked a few more times
during the hour when I am really watching BBC America with a pleasant
$ tereo music soundtrack about animal life in the megacity of Tokyo
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. No Es DX to be found, but some bandscanning
circa 1802-1820 UT July 17 finds KS signals enhanced,
Wichita-Hutchinson area, e.g. KHCC 90.1 overriding KUCO OK without
even trying into the caradio vertical antenna. However, next check
after 2100 finds weather has reversed, now with OKC signals enhanced
such as not normally audible dominating 92.9, ``From the Lucky Star
Casino, KOMA HD2 The Edge``, not to be confused with the primary KOMA
on 92.5. 92.9 is really:

K225BN KOMA-HD2 92.9 OKLAHOMA CITY OK ROCK 92.9 THE EDGE 0.2 0.2
267.7 267.7 35-32-51 97-29-30

A sibling translator on 95.3 of KOKC 1520, always audible but stronger
than usual:
K237GE KOKC-1520 95.3 OKLAHOMA CITY OK TALK KOKC 95.3 FM 1520 AM
0.25 0.25 0.0 0.0 35-32-51 97-29-30 35FE KOKC Talk Radios New
Generation 95.3 and 1520 KOKC News

Of course 95.3 is not really at zero height above average terrain! I
figured it would be on same tower as 92.9 and the GC do match. In
fact, 95.3 has to be way up there for consistent coverage as far as
Enid with 250 watts ERP. HAAT may be uncalculated but FCC shows it is
314m above ground = 1030 feet.

I moved out of OKC in 1961, one reason to get away from all the local
RF hampering TVDX. Now I shudder to think how Citians are blocked from
getting out-of-city FM signals by all the local translators of AM
stations or of HD FM channels where no one is listening to their
original intent; e.g. forget about Tulsa into OKC on 92.9 or 102.3,
etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 4790, July 17 at 0624 check, the new WBCQ is
still on with TOMBS, S9+10/20 direct but noisy. Probably all-night or
even 24 hours all day. Yes, 4790 checked July 17 at 1612 via Maine SDR
is on at S9, -26 Hz offset = 4789.974. But 3265+ which ought to be
audible that close in daytime if on, is not. More TOMBS on 6160 S5-S7
minus 712 Hz = 6159.288 kHz.

I wonder who does WBCQ frequency management? 6160 was a bad choice
next to Cuba in primetime, as I repeatedly outpointed, but no
broadcasters anywhen anywhere around 4790. Latest HFCC dated July 17
still has WBCQ on 5130, no 4790. Does show 6160 24h, and 3265 at 22-10
UT only, tho is also running it in daytime. Also the 500 kW on 13570
where it never went before it broke. FCC did not get around to
posting A21 schedules until April 26 and not updated since.

Also confirmed Sat July 17 at about 1801 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria;
listening to UTwente recording later without exact times, but usual
pattern of Aida theme JIP circa 1759, brief sign-on, pause and WOR to
almost 1830. Altho missing from 918 Italia AM on July 16, today July
17 confirmed also there via Noale SDR at 1820 check a few sex out of
synch with 7290; S9+15 but a lot of local line noise.

Also confirmed Sat July 17 until 2003 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville
MO, VG S9+10 via nearby KB0FX remote; so started circa 1934.

Also confirmed Sat July 17 at 2000 on WRMI 15770 about S9 into UTwente

Last FCC Update May 22 2021 --- is it definitely off the air now? ---

Doug Smith, TN, W9WI, replies on the WTFDA gg Jul 17 06:56AM -0500:

``KOZB filed a silent STA on May 26th, 2020 citing financial
difficulties. They filed to extend it in January. I don't see any
"resumption of operations" filing, but on May 18th they filed a
technical STA requesting authority to operate the station at
reduced power. ("The licensee hopes to be able to operate at 8.7kW
ERP, but a lower power may be necessary.") That STA was granted the
next day.

Given that KOZB would have fallen afoul of the off-over-a-year law in
eight days, I think you can reasonably presume it did return to the
air on May 19th. FWIW, four other co-owned Bozeman stations have made
similar filings: KBOZ-1090; KBOZ-FM 99.9; KOBB-1230 and KOBB-FM 93.7.
Sounds like Bozeman may have been a great place to DX for awhile!``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, July 17 circa 0630 again that JBA carrier, but
unlikely to be R. Deltracks, as Gianni Serra, Roma, agrees:

``Glenn, it is hard to believe the JBA carrier you caught on 4975 kHz
(0639 July 11 / 0636 July 12) was from Euro Pirate Radio Deltracks,
considering the low TX power of 350 Watts (or below 1 kW): sunrise in
