** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15475.98 RC USB, Saturday September 9 at
1741, LRA36 is on already S5/S7 with echoey music; 1806 the poetic
scripted piece about Antarctica; 1807 into music. Still at 1935,
S7/9+10 into Argentine remote. I was mainly listening instead to the
opera from China on the WFMT Network via KUCO. Still on at 2112 when
I`m mainly listening to `Film At Five` on WCLV analyzing Star Wars
music. 2237 still on with music; off before next check 2329 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Sept 9 at 1500, V of Martyrs Korea s/on in
English, refers to ``tiny Maldives``, and continues preaching in
English rather than Dhivehi sometimes. In this case I`ll not trap them
since per Almanaque Mundial, total land area of 1200 islands is only
298 sq km. And anything next to India seems tiny by comparison. S9/+20
as usual here on the opposite worldside, making the ``Uzbekistan``
nominal site unbelievable; more likely Taiwan or Kununurra, Australia
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sept 9 at 2238 tune-in, S9+40 into UTwente, with
a recipe involving chicken broth, outro as `Turkey`s Geomarked [sic]
Products` to 2240, then ``with you every hour`` promo; 2241 song, with
some distortion worse during music; 2245 multi-lingual ID filler reel;
2247 song; 2251 s/off; 2253 IS; 2256 start German IDs twice a minute;
2359.6* cut off air just in time to prevent German hour. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. Before it went off I checked for splatter
above and below 11785 like last time, but that seems OK now and
Romania 11800 unscathed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

in English. VR, SMG is scheduled everywhere as in French at 0630-0645;
except Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15700, Sept 9 at 0633, JBA carrier vs S9 line noise
level still not repaired by OG&E 3+ days later. Only thing listed is
World Music Radio, DENMARK, per EiBi 24 hours, but per Aoki 09-16
only. It`s low power and I have never managed even a carrier in
numerous bandscans here nor on 25800 or 5930. Operator said it would
be 24/7 thru September with 300 W AM on 15700. As recently as Sept 3,
Carlos Gonçalves, Portugal logged it on 15699.7; on Aug 31, 15699.642
per Wolfgang Büschel. I did not notice it being so far off-frequency
but was not alert for that. Maybe something else. Propagation?
Surprisingly, Vatican q.v. was in well on 15595, with a bit more power

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 101.5, Sept 8 circa 1820 UT on caradio around
Enid, seems to be slight quieting but no Spanish; no stereo pilot
either, so if KOCD Okeene, either turned off $ or just too weak to
fire. Later circa 1830 at a certain sweet spot, getting JBA Spanish
talk show about finances, more likely KSMM Liberal KS than religious
KOCD?

No, it isn`t: KSMM format is regional Mexmx and even sort of a program
sked on website: ``12 PM – 4 PM Monday - Friday Erica Majalca ”La
Manzanita" Join “La Manzanita/The Little Apple” as she presents la
música del pueblo: banda, corridos, rancheras, cumbias, pop,
romanticas and unforgettable classics every afternoon``

So back to KOCD? Website has no specific program sked,
https://salvacionradionetwork.org/
but ``something for everyone`` and this revelation!:

``The History of Our Station / La Historia de Nuestra Estacion
Radio Salvacion esta en el aire desde el año 2001, transmitiendo por

KWDW-LP 93.9 comenzó a transmitir en las ondas de LPFM en Agosto del
2014. Dejo de transmitir en Enero 2023.

KOCD 101.5FM comenzó a transmitir como Salvacion Radio Network en
Noviembre 2018. Termino de transmitir en Enero 2023``

Sic, sporadically accented. Sez both 101.5 and its primary on 93.9
went off the air in January 2023. So what were we hearing since then
but not recently? KOCD 101.5 transmitter might have been on air anyway
for test or oversight, or even being sold off.

Hmmm, there is another Okie in Spanish I had not previously
considered, just north of Tulsa, a lot closer than Liberal KS, but a
lot weaker. WTFDA FM Database shows the one for whose ID I must be
alert:

KTLV 1220 Midwest City is now UC:GOS, no mention of Spanish in new

squealy. Too may distraxions including Turkey to note much detail.

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.009, Sept 8 at 2200, VOT English not off
the air, S9+45/50 into UTwente. I try to compare it to simulEnglish
from Romania on 11800, only to find that unusually weak and bothered
by splatter, which I then observe at least plus/minus 15/20 kHz both
sides of VOT, and sure sounds like the source, not distorted on 11785
itself but plenty loud. 2213, ``with you every hour`` promo, song.
2217 `Weekly Analysis`, writer unattributed, about foreign minister
visit to Iraq, as predecessor to planned Erdogan visit; lots of issues

** BRAZIL. 11780, Sept 6 at 2235, no signal of RNA into UTwente, so
11785 Turkey would have had no such ACI if itself were on. 6180 is
however on, only fair signal in Brasuguese presumably during `A Voz do

on home rigs it`s all over the SW bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 101.5, Sept 6 at 2018 UT, on caradio, fringe signal
pops in long enough to be Spanish with 620 area code, therefore
