``BILL C NOKES
2802 NIGHTENGALE LANE
ENID, OK 73703
USA

Hello! My name is Bill, and I have been W5EIY since 1954.

I was born in Weatherford, OK, grew up on a farm there, graduated HS
in 1957 and headed off to Oklahoma State University for six years to
get degrees in Animal Science & Horticulture. After OSU, I moved to
Texas for about eight years, then came to Enid in 1973 to look after
parents -- both my wife's and my own.

After a few years in the banking business I started off on a new
career as a sales rep for a nail and air nailer company, covering four
states and driving about 5,000 miles a month. In 2012, after 35 years
on the road, I retired to have more time to play radio and encourage
our eight grandchildren in their sports, music and theatre
endeavors.

My rig is a Kenwood TS-570S running 80-90 watts. On 40M I use a 33-ft
long inverted L. Just 33 feet? Yeah, covenants keep me in the stealth
mode. The end-fed wire sneaks up 15 feet vertically alongside my
workshop/shack, then runs 18 feet horizontally--never higher than the
peak of the wood shake roof.

My alternate antenna is a 44-ft end-fed sloper with a 9:1 UnUn.

I enjoy both CW and SSB operation, especially late night DX-ing and
rag-chewing. Plus, experimenting with simple antennas, including
portable ones. With K5ECI, another "Bill in Enid," we are assembling
a go-kit around my Alinco DX70TH to use in case of a storm or other
emergency -- or even for day-trips to local state parks.

Hope to CU soon. Good DX to all! And let's keep pounding that brass.

PHOTOS: (UPPER-L) My station is the TS-570S, power supplies Samlex
1223 and MFJ-4225, speaker, HamKey and Speed-X straight keys, and a
hand mike. Just the basics, but what great fun!
(UPPER-R) SKCC, FISTS, WAC and WAS certificates earned with my peanut
whistle set-up. Those deer antlers are from a well-remembered hunting
trip with my son when he was ten years old.
(LOWER-L) If you have worked another "Bill in Enid," that would
probably be K5ECI, on right in the yellow vest. We are at the annual
Cherokee Strip parade celebrating the 1893 Land Run with some
longhorns right in our hip pockets.
(LOWER-R) Mug shot of a proud member of the Enid Amateur Radio Club``
(QRZ.com via gh, Enid, DXLD)

** U S A. 5970, Oct 9 at 0635-0640+, WEWN carrier with no modulation
is cutting off and on at an extremely regular pace of 84 times per
minute; why? Probably no one around Vandiver to notice in the
nightmiddle; or if personned, dozed off. WEWN is a neat source of new
anomalies. But we are meanwhile deprived of Spanish Roman Catholicism
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6095-USB, Oct 9 at 0622, 2-way in English, JBA because
of heavy splash from strong 6100 RHC. Why in the world are they here
nor at least on LSB which would have been much better? (6090 Anguilla,
of course, is absent.) Unseems formal, urgent or military, just random
ham-like ragchew. At first only one side audible, then detectable
contact (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Oct 7 at 2050, despite previous log as missing
at 1439, CHR is back on and still `no reports received` and distorted
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11850, Oct 7 at 2052, open carrier prior to 2100 RHC
transmission, and no sign of Romania English scheduled until 2100; nor
on its // 13650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, Oct 8 at 0556, RHC English at S9+10, but
undermodulated; remains best of the sorry lot, as 6165 is JBA carrier,
6000 is S9 but just barely modulated; and 5040 is off already.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5935, Oct 8 at 1315, VG S9+10 signal from
Shiokaze in Japanese and piano from JSR; rivals the signal WWCR
achieves earlier in the night, despite yesterday`s remark that JSR was
JBA. Really good opening from E Asia this morning, and no sign of
Tibet CCI; leads me to check on the other more fluid clandestines; see
KOREA SOUTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6045, Oct 8 at 1317, amid all the South/North
Korean jumbling, also Korean? talk and music mix here no jamming
audible; one station or two? Aoki shows:
``6045 1200-1458 TJK National Unity Radio Kor Dushanbe-Ya 1-7``
Dushanbe sunset 1258 UT, so possible grayline but would not expect
this much signal from Tajikistan rather than E Asia. Ron Howard
replies, ``Yes, after 1200+, I normally have strong reception of
National Unity Radio. Some days with strong jamming. Ron`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. Seems Voice of the People, and Echo of Hope
are shifting frequencies, mostly by 5 kHz, from one day to the next to
keep the NK jammers alert. My observations October 8 at 1316-1326:

VOP: 3480 not 3485; 3910; 6600 not 6595.
EOH/VOH: 3985 but a JBA carrier on 3990; 4890 not 4885; 5995 not 5990
but a JBA carrier on 5990; 6350 not 6348; and at 1356, 9105 not 9100.
I could also hear noise jamming on: 6350, 6600, 3985, 3910. Note that
4890 was NBC PNG`s flagship frequency should they ever reactivate.

Ron Howard had already posted to WOR iog a few hours earlier Oct 8:

``Voice of the People, at 1046+: 3910 // 3480 // 3935 // 4450 // 6525
// 6600.
Echo of Hope - VOH, at 1042+: 3985 // 4890 // 5995 // 6255 // 6350 //
9105. Ron``

He has also had much better reception of 9105: ``Hi Glenn, Interesting
to note the difference between your location and mine regarding 9105
reception. My audio today of 9105
http://bit.ly/2IxZ9Up
At the start and end of the language lesson English/Chinese/Korean?),
a singing jingle ("When we arrive, the party will come alive").``

Then Wolfgang Bueschel replied to Ron: ``KOREAs TRACED Oct 8th in
Hiroshima and Tokyo SDR's, 1430-1500 UT mostly scratch noise jamming

** U S A. 2097.3, Oct 8 at 0600, no signal detected from beacon A,
which used to ID in CW every dekasecond from anywhere but Quartzsite
AZ; nor some previous recent chex, as it always used to penetrate even
noisy nightpaths. Is anyone still hearing it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2002 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday October
8 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, S9-S8. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475 & 5830, Oct 7 at 2057, WTWW-1 on neither possible
frequency; a while ago noted 9475 back on but unlogged. Extremely
irregular, more off than on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, UT Tue Oct 8 at 0557, S5-S7 of dead air from WWCR,
which seems to happen more often on Tuesdays; about the same level as
modulated 5935. Others: 4840 & 3215 both VG, the latter somewhat
undermodulated BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3325, Oct 8 at 1326, S5-S7 of dead air; should be enough
signal to detect modulation if any; more likely Indonesia`s English
hour than Bougainville (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5984.73, Oct 8 before 0100, JBA carrier, cuts off and on
as I measure it. Maybe something local; only 5985 scheduled at this
time is Myanmar, already a sessquihour after sunrise there (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
