CANADIAN COUNTY, Oklahoma - A crop duster aircraft crashed into a radio tower north of El Reno in Canadian County.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol and Canadian County officials crash and subsequent fire Wednesday evening.

The Piedmont Fire Department also assisted the Okarche Fire Department at the scene in the area of Memorial and Manning roads.

Officials have confirmed that the pilot of the aircraft has died.

OHP Trooper Mat Conway said the first 911 call came in at 5:13 p.m. Conway said the small plane hit the guide [sic] wires of the reported 1,200 [sic?? -foot?] Tyler Media radio tower.

According to Conway, the plane then crashed into a creek bed and burst into flames.

Investigators with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will be on the scene Thursday morning.

PILOT REMEMBERED BY FAMILY AS CRASH INVESTIGATION CONTINUES
Posted: May 31, 2018 10:12 PM GST Updated: May 31, 2018 10:12 PM GST
By Caleigh Bourgeois, News 9

http://www.news9.com/story/38321425/pilot-remembered-by-family-as-crash-investigation-continues

CANADIAN COUNTY, Oklahoma - A family is mourning after a man lost his life in a plane crash north of El Reno Wednesday evening.

FAA and NTSB investigators are trying to figure out how a small crop-dusting plane ended up crashing.

Andrew Deterding, from Pond Creek has been identified as the victim.

Investigators say he was just doing his job Wednesday, crop-dusting for a client north of El Reno.

Deterdingâs plane got caught in some guy wires, taking down the plane and a radio tower.

"In talking to witnesses there on the scene, it was a crop-dusting plane and had struck some of the guy wires there and caused the aircraft to go down," Capt. Paul Timmons with Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.

The owner of the land where the crash occurred said he is a longtime client of Deterdingâs.

The pilotâs family posted a tribute to Facebook for Deterding on his company Facebook page:

"We lost a great man today. Andy was in a crash involving the guide [sic] wires on a radio tower and did not survive. I am at a complete loss of words, but a friend sent us this and it fits perfectly.

All we can be in this life.. is the best version of ourselves. We all try, Day by day. Andy, lived that way, each day. He would wake up, and make the world a better place by being the best human being he could. He did it through his laugh, his jokes, his smile, his heart. He instantly made me feel at ease, as it was easy to see his gold heart shine through his body. In all he did, he walked around with light beaming out of him. Everybody he came across was a better person after experiencing his light.

Dads memoryâs [sic] and stories will live on. Through every heart he touched. From family and friends to the foster kids we care for that he treated as his own grandchildren. We love you dad, and know you are in heaven on the look out for us."

Officials call Deterding an experienced pilot.

"I know this company's been in business for a while. So he was an experienced pilot, so I think it was just an unfortunate accident that occurred yesterday," Timmons said.

The owner of the radio tower, Ty Tyler of Tyler Media, says heâs heartbroken that Deterding lost his life, and is praying for the family.

When the investigation allows Tyler will work to get the radio station, KTUZ, back on air.

Investigators confirm Deterding was wearing a helmet and seatbelt at the time of the crash (via gh, DXLD)

Channel 9 chopper shots showed quite a mess of the tower on the ground. WTFK? 106.7, and indeed the frequency has been emptied. WTFDA FM Database info about it:

``KTUZ-FM 106.7 OKARCHE OK USA 13.0 13.0 292.0 292.0 35-36-49 97-52-19 Spanish 444D La Zeta 106.7 KTUZ-FM La Zeta 106.7 KTUZ-FM Classical REGIONAL MEXICAN LA Z 106.7``

Apparently no other FM BC or TV stations on that tower, which, NW of OKC, is quite removed from the NE OKC antenna farm. Deterding Aerial, north of Enid, is quite a landmark as one approaches Pond Creek from the south.

KTUZ call also applies to RF 29 nominally Shawnee with three Spanish TV networx. And to 1570 AM in Catoosa/Tulsa.

Own website linked from wikipedia, http://unidosok.com/okc/la-zeta/ has nothing about this! For the latest on what La Zeta is doing, one must refer to disgraced FB, June 1:

``La Zeta Oklahoma City [hace] 22 hrs Â
https://www.facebook.com/La-Zeta-Oklahoma-City-141974055838361/

El 30 de Mayo una avioneta se estrellà y derribà la torre de seÃal de nuestra estaciÃn. Lamentablemente, el piloto no sobreviviÃ. Nuestras oraciones estÃn con sus familiares y amigos. ??

Nuestro extraordinario equipo de ingenieros està trabajando arduamente para regresar la seÃal de KTUZ-FM-106.7FM. Por el momento, la programaciÃn de La Z està en el aire en nuestra estaciÃn hermana Ãxitos 96.5FM. Este cambio es temporal, en cuanto la seÃal de KTUZ regrese al 106.7FM, la programaciÃn habitual de Ãxitos volverà a la frecuencia 96.5. Gracias por su constante sintonÃa.``

96.5, is a mere translator, WTFDA listed as:
``K243BJ KRXO-FM-HD3 [origin] 96.5 OKLAHOMA CITY OK USA 0.25 0.25 302.0 0.0 35-24-54 97-30-32 Spanish 3F48 Exitos 96.5 FM! Exitos 96.5 FM Foreign Language OLDIES EXITOS 96.5``

``BTW, 106.7 KTUZ cannot be found on radio-locator --- have they already deleted it, or was it ever there? Not even by CoL Okarche. Just the 1570 KTUZ``

That`s what I wrote until I tried again. If you enter KTUZ-FM in the callsign search, you get an error message saying US stations have only 3 or 4 letters! Apparently you have to enter KTUZ, and then choose FM only. It says it is off the air:

** PHILIPPINES. 9615, May 31 at 1759, VP signal, FE language, full timesignal 30 seconds early, but a another 3-pip TS ending at 1800:07. OSOB outside North America, so a surprise. Aoki/NDXC shows:
``9615 1530-1830 PHL BBC Kor Tinang 1-7``. HFCC confirms it`s on a 21-degree antenna from IBB Tinang, which carries right on over North Korea to North America. Maybe the first TS was just SFX? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 9475, May 31 at 2152, no signal from WTWW (nor on night frequency 5830). It may have been off all day?

9475.00, June 1 at 1326, VP signal unseems SFAW, rather KSDA GUAM scheduled this hour only in Chinese to the NW. And not off-frequency-minus like WTWW, but which is poorly audible at 1500. Must be that solar wind, K index of 5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505, UT Fri June 1 at 0213, WRNO with music, 0217 own show M&W promoting Mawire`s book; so not Rick Wiles, TruNews as previously heard during this bihour, and expected to be Tue-Sat. Is he gone again or on more limited schedule, or what? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. RF 22, June 1 at 1410 UT, among several Bad DTV signals, the only DX decoding, on my opposite antenna, as predicted by Hepburn, a Level-7 intense tropo targeting central Kansas, i.e. Great Bend: 2-1 KSNC-DT; 2-2 T`mundo [sic]; 2-3 ION; 2-4 Justice; but soon losing out. This lineup updates/corrects W9WI.com as ``2.1:E:NBC, 2.2:E:ION, 2.3:E:Justice``

RabbitEars has all four, but with Ion and Telemundo reversed:
https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=ksnc
but does have correct order for originating station KSNW Wichita:
https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=ksnw#station

BTW, I have yet to see any repacking (lower channel changes) for my OK or any nearby DX stations. KSNC may stay on 22, but KSNW will move from 45 to 15, where it will be blocked by KOPX OKC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1633 UT June 1

Oops, re WRMI, don`t know why I cited 9955 programming when referring to pre-emptions for the special on 9395. The 01-02 hour UT Tue-Sat on 9395 is normally of course RAE Argentina to the World, in English, so delete this:

What is being preÃmpted, at 01-02 UT
Saturday on 9955? Sked shows `Walking in Power` and
`Wavescan`. If you miss Hali this week, chances are good she
will replay 168 hours later unless original programming be
explicitly restored (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

And replace with this:

What is being preÃmpted, at 01-02 UT Saturday on 9395? RAE Argentina to the World in English, UT Tue-Sat, but should remain on // 5950 if you can get it. If you miss Hali this week, chances are good she will replay 168 hours later unless original programming be explicitly restored (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALASKA. 7355, May 31 at 1213, KNLS is S2-S6 but no ACI or CCI, at ``True Bible Stories in Contemporary English``, ID. Aimed due west from Anchor Point, not always audible here. The 12 UT English broadcast is their only one on a second frequency; did not notice it in the 6045-6090 range, as I did not remember the latest one to check specifically, 6075 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non?]. 7810, May 31 at 1210, JBA carrier --- bet it`s a Sound of Hope frequency and this is probably the ChiCom jammer --- yes, Aoki/NDXC shows SOH Taiwan on 7810.04, possibly 24 hours and *jammed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 15040, May 31 at 1231, CNR1 with typical over-assertive announcer, and some music, // 11785 et al. 15040 is to jam All India Radio`s only Chinese broadcast, at 1145-1315, buried even here. Meanwhile, CRI has countless English and other language broadcasts into India, unjammed. Not very neighborly! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11760, May 31 at 1238 tune-in, RHC carrier is cutting off and on extremely rapidly, then cuts off completely; shortly back on with dead air, then adding modulation, or rather under-modulation, during sports report. 1345 recheck carrier is stable but still u/mod. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13767 & 13633, May 31 at 1338, RHC extremely distorted spurblobs with F# tones, out of 13700 transmitter are rampant again today, these closest ones clearest if tuned in FM mode; further at approx. 67 kHz intervals, upward: 13834, 13901, 13968? Downward: 13566 (spreading 13560-13573 at least, ruining the HIFER band), 13499, 13432, 13365, 13298-trace. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 9860, May 31 at 0519, American English, VOA? No, NHK via VATICAN this semihour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 96.9, May 30 at 2015 UT as I am searching for Es FM DX (none found), I notice that my local KQOB (licensed to Enid, originally KCRC-FM, but for OKC market from tower midway near Crescent), has been rebranded yet again, ``The new Alice 96-9 FM, Oklahoma City`` (but keeping calls denoting ``Bob``, sort of). Not so new, perhaps, as it`s already as such in the WTFDA FM Database (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 9920, May 31 at 1224, SE Asian song, poor signal. HFCC says it`s FEBC, 100 kW due west from Iba site, at 1200-1330; this semihour on Thursdays being in the ``Jar`` abbr`d language per NDXC/Aoki. WRTH reveals full name of language is Jarai. EiBi`s readme.txt enters it thus: ``JR Jarai / Giarai / Jra (Vietnam)`` without any figures on speakership, as most of those have been deleted. At 1230 Vietnamese announcement, just leading into another minolity language, abbr`d hre which stands for Hre, per WRTH.

[and non] I was checking 9920 in case R. Thailand had also moved its earlier broadcasts from 9390, and there was no signal. That`s because of a quarter-hour break after Malay 1200-1215 before English at 1230, and indeed carrier is on by 1229, but VP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1932 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday May 30 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, fair S8-S9, and 6 words behind on WBCQ 7490, S0-S3. Now starts a long drought for WOR on SW from America until Saturday 2300; next:

** U S A. 9455, May 31 at 1218, WRMI still secretly transmitting here, S0-S3 with Oldies, 1219 ID and ad for cruises, with 800 number repeated but not enough to copy for sure; another ID, back to Oldies. This is *much* weaker than Brother Scare on 9395, and Prague on 9955.

9455 has been running its weak signal for a fortnight now; I first noted UT May 18, frequency back on air after original programming had all been moved to 5950, 24 hours, as of May 14.

As of May 31, *still* no sign of it on the WRMI transmission or program grids. I`ve also been on the lookout for anyone else logging it, and also zero! I assure everyone I am not imagining it. WRMI has also not replied to my May 19 inquiry about it. Maybe something on WRMI FB? NO. However, I do spot this:

``WRMI Radio Miami International May 25 at 12:43pm Â
Special Program June 1 --- Hali Palombo is an artist, musician and shortwave radio enthusiast. She creates soundscapes - aural archaeology that observes her life and the world around her both from a magnifying glass and a space shuttle. Her work is sometimes funny and sometimes scary. She lives and works in Chicago, IL. On Friday, June 1 from 8:00 to 9:00 pm Central Time (i.e. 0100-0200 UT June 2), Hali will present her new instrumental record on WRMI on 9395 kHz.

[replies:] Jerry Lane: This is fantastic! Just took some time to go through some of those samples and listen to a little bit of her work. I'm definitely going to tune in. Every bit of this is right up my alley. Thanks, WRMI, for being so awesome!

WRMI Radio Miami International: And listen for some shortwave radio excerpts in her new record and her program on June 1!``

What is being preÃmpted, at 01-02 UT Saturday on 9955? Sked shows `Walking in Power` and `Wavescan`. If you miss Hali this week, chances are good she will replay 168 hours later unless original programming be explicitly restored (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505, May 30 at 0105, WRNO is still not on, no Rick Wiles yet. It is on with algo at 0517, very poor; and very good still with Chinese at 1211 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12250-AM, May 31 at 1342, dead air with flutter at S9/S9+10. Suspected ChiCom jammer on QRX, but not listed by NDXC/Aoki as a SOH frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1632 UT May 31

** CUBA. 6100, May 29 at 0545, this RHC English frequency during music is S7-S9 but modulation and carrier are breaking up rapidly. // 6000, 6060, 6165 are relatively OK. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13567 approx., May 29 at 1355, first find the RHC horribly distorted spurblobs are back, starting here vs the Part 15 HIFER band. Out of 13700 transmitter, also 13501, 13438?, 13634, 13766, 13832, 13898, 13963, 14039? I.e. approx. 66 kHz intervals. Usual F# tone accompanying and the closer ones are somewhat readable if tuned in FM mode. Some days these are rampant, some days absent. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1932, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7254.932, May 29 at 0548 tune-in, surprised to find Voice of Nigeria bigsig aimed USward on the air already and in English! Hard to follow the speaker with heavy accent, soon into music break, 0551 talking again, discussion about opulence, but cut off the air abruptly at 0553:16* --- so I guess VON was just tuning up for the 0600 Hausa broadcast.

Recheck at 0607 however, is back on and again in English, about the economy. Talkers on this transmitter are generally very bassy, so PBT to boost the treble helps a little. May have been a special event about Nigeria`s corruption, likely back to Hausa hour hence (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1932, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [non]. 7220, May 29 at 0547, S9 but poor signal, presumed R. Dandal Kura, as sked this hour only, 100 kW, 167 degrees via FRANCE. Another hour I hear even less is 06-07 on 11910, ditto (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1931 monitoring: not confirmed Mon May 28 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330v, just BS, altho yesterday was gh + BS at once. Confirmed UT Tuesday May 29 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+20. Just barely audible Tuesday May 29 at 2030 on WRMI 7780, sounds like gh intonation; inaudible on 5950.

** U S A. 5085, UT Tue May 29 at 0544, WTWW-2 is off again, like UT Mon, while UT Sun before and after 0600 it was running that wacky new talk show, `Southern Talk at Midnight`, so maybe it is once a week, from 0500? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1932, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15815, May 29 at 1403, WTWW with classic rock music, S9+10 (while neighbor in more ways than one, 15825 WWCR is S9+20, both with sporadic E boost); still past 1420 and 1530. Not rechecked until 2206, when 15815 is *still* on with music, but considerably weakened. Took yesterday, Memorial Day off, unheard. Anyhow I`ve added it to the BST-1 caradio memory bank, the better to keep track of what the new frequency is doing; from this station there is little hope for anything rational, and I would not be surprised if they are testing for a new gospel-huxter client (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1932, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, UT Tue May 29 at 0253, quick check of WRNO sounds like Rick Wiles, indicating his revived `TruNews` [sic] runs 01-03 UT Tue-Sat here. WRNOworldwide website still has not put up any program schedule info since May 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1932, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. I`m parked a few miles N of Enid near the US 81/64/60 junxion, so do a quick bandscan for possible sporadic E DX; none here so far this year, and it`s about time. Lots of frequencies have CCI, stations fading back and forth, but I`m afraid this was just due to hot turbulent troposphere nearby. Several frequencies check out to be fringe Kansans or Oklahomans, except:

97.3, May 28 at 1953 UT, ``Q97`` ID. WTFDA FM Database leads to:
KQHN Waskom TX, but supposedly really known as ``Q97.3``, with 42 kW at 162.5 m. Waskom is right on the border west of Shreveport LA, 348 miles/559 km, rather unlikely, OR:

``Q-97`` with a hyphen (unspoken of course) would be KNCQ, Redding CA, 28 kW, 1088m, possible but far for Es, 1354 miles/2179 km; OR:

``Q 97`` with a space (unspoken of course), this must be it: KKJQ, 100 kW, 244m, Garden City KS, listed ``Q 97 FM``, 198 miles/318 km.

This is a good example of how one must outwit the search funxions with all possible varieties of what sounds like a simple explicit slogan.

106.3, May 28 at 1948 UT, ad for Wichita Falls, so Texas not Kansas. WTFDA DB shows KBZS, 50 kW/129m, The Buzz, but PS Info as KZBS instead. Who made the typo? FCC FM Query agrees it is really KBZS; BTW, FMQ now includes a station logotype, which leads to a profile page without all the tech details, but address, etc. 175 miles/282 km, city-to-city distance. I`d rather hear much closer KGOU Norman, public radio on 106.3, but it`s only 6 kW, 88.7 m HAAT (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
