Hauser
** ALGERIA. 17600, July 3 at 2204, poor S7/S9 direct sounds French,
presumed Ifrikya FM running past nominal 2200* -- maybe for hours as
last logged at 0054 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 11950, July 3 at 0031, RHC in English, VG signal
into Brasília remote, but somewhat muffled audio, plus YL accent =
hard to understand; later OM cites Granma, official Commie newspaper
named for a boat named for someone`s grandmother; really. No signals
yet on real English frequency 6000, nor others where it often shows,
9700 and 15230. Hit this while tuning 25m for RNA Brasil local sig
which yesterday was wandering around band; but 6180 is on now. 11950,
of course, is never a scheduled English frequency for RHC, but so
what? The Other Side:

``Cuba: a country hijacked by politicians hijacked by the military
Who would have imagined that the seven trumpets of the Castroist
Apocalypse would not be heard sounding from an American aircraft
carrier, but rather from the MINFAR General Staff's band?
Rafaela Cruz, La Habana 01 Jul 2024 - 17:13 CEST...``
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1719846823_55756.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, July 3 at 0702, R. Rebelde with S9+30/40 of dead air in
Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, July 3 at 0705, RHC deadair again except for somewhine,
S9+15/25. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, July 3 at 1723, huge buzz with no program
audible, S9+5/10 into UTwente. Synch mode stepping up and down 5 kHz
lands on different spots: .840, .721, .082, .083, .841 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed July 3 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+20/30,
preview feature to be about Andy Warhol exhibition commemorating his
visit to Spain - yet another totally aural report about a totally
visual medium. 2201.5 news starts with record tourism increase of
13.6% compared to a year ago, in quantity and gigaeuros spent (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.019, July 3 at 2159, VOT IS, S9+10/20 direct but
insufficient vs noise level. 2218 into UTwente when measured further
above frequency than usual, about the history of sunglasses starting
with XII century China, 2221 outro as `Unscripted Twists of Fate`, a
new feature? ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2222 song. 2226 `The
Middle East and Turkey` on the religious basis for US unconditional
support of Israel, i.e. explaining Christian evangelism. 2238 `Sports
Panorama`. 2244 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2251 ``with-you-every-
hour`` promo. 2252 s/off ignoring SW: do they really have more 
listeners direct off satellite than SW?? Something`s awry at Ankara. 
2252.6 IS. 2256 pause and restart IS with German IDs until 2258* 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO on IRRS changes: ``Hi Glen[n], Hope
you're doing well. We have a new program starting next Sunday. Because
of this update, we'll need to adjust some of your repeat times on our
stations. Here’s the new schedule for WOR on IRRS, effective July 7,
2024: [gh changed CET to UT:]

- SAT 23:30 UT streaming on IRN
- SUN 19:00 UT on 1323 kHz + streaming on IRN
- TUE 20:00 UT on 1323 kHz + streaming on IRN
- FRI 20:30 UT on 1323 kHz + streaming on IRN

You can tune in to IRN (Internet Radio NEXUS) at:
https://nexus.org/irn-player
or
https://nexus.org/mp3

Thanks for understanding, and we hope you enjoy the new lineup. Take
care and best 73s, Alfredo -- Alfredo E. Cotroneo, CEO, NEXUS-Int'l
Broadcasting Association``

So the return to one airing on SW has been short-lived: was Sunday
0930 UT on 9510. The Fri 2030 UT should continue to present the first
airing of each WOR, not the last. That, Sat and and Sun are unchanged,
but Tuesday is new.

WORLD OF RADIO 2249 monitoring: missed checking Tuesday July 2 at 2330
on WRMI 9395 and SW Radio, Germany, 3975. Anyone hear them?

Confirmed Wednesday July 3 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.001
S9+15/20 and slightly behind, 3975.004 S9+10/15 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday July 3 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -73 Hz =
7389.927, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9955, Wed July 3 at 0648, once again tonight, this
WRMI is still on air contrary to websked - not RFI in Spanish as
previously heard, but music only, fill? First, sort of ``island``
music, then ``HOA``. 0700 no ID break, but still immediately into
Polish Radio External Service, via WRN, in English. Also light pulse
jamming audible direct. The Cuban commies have no love lost for
countries which overthrew the yoke of Soviet oppression. Also too
close for comfort to 9960 VANUATU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

5010 WRMI at 0700 July 3 is also still on air as uncheduled. Next
check at 1508, 9955 is still on air JBA, yet another anomaly (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, Wed July 3 at 0703, WWCR-4 is on with gospel music,
huge dirty signal of S9+45/50. Is it TOMBS? Not // 5850 WRMI. Sked
updated as of July 1, still claims 5890 is OFF M-F at 05-12, while
nothing but TOMBS on weekends. Of course this also activates the
leapfrog mixing product on 5980 whenever both 5890 and 5935 are on the
air, another 45 kHz beyond. But we don`t hear any reverse on 5845
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. DXMAP shows Es paths between OK and California, so I go
hunting on caradio, July 3 at 1958 UT. Instead, tropo boosts are up
from Tulsa, Wichita areas while OKC signals are diminished, and I
identify no Es.

100.7 at 1958, ``101 Country, KPNC Ponca City`` OK, normally inaudible
vs local 100.9.

107.9 at 1959, ``U.S. 107.9, ``Winfield, Wichita`` and somewhere
else:
KWLS 107.9 WINFIELD KS 50.0 kW 150.0 m 37-15-46 96-53-42 4B48 Big D &
Bubba Mornings-KSN News 5 6 & 10-kwlsradio.com COUNTRY US 107.9 - REAL
AMERICAN COUNTRY

93.5 at 2035, ``Power 93.5, Wichita``, hip-hop. This a surprise as the
KS station I normally hear fringily is the much further KKDT. Andover
is just NE of Wichita, with much LESS power, and tower, slogan a Big
Lie:
KDGS 93.5 ANDOVER KS 15.0 kW 114.0 m 37-42-47 97-14-51 189A

KKDT 93.5 BURDETT KS 95.0 kW 304.8 m 38-36-32 99-42-12 COUNTRY MY
COUNTRY 93.5

93.3 circa 2040, 100 kW OKC station KJKE Newcastle ``Jake FM`` with
constant CCI, at 2049 maybe mentions Kansas, in weather? But the only
KS on 93.3 are two translators in far Manhattan and Liberal. And the
only other OKies are 7 translators or LP. What could this be? Seems
too  constant and weak to be Es.

92.7 at 2049, ``The Pulse,`` Kansas lottery. Must be this, but slogan
change, or just a fleeting program reference?
KWME 92.7 WELLINGTON KS 14.0 kW 130.0 m 37-20-08 97-27-53 4B54 KWME

Hauser
** AUSTRIA. 11870, July 2 at 0346, language?, music bit smax of
Christianism, S9/+10 one of best signals on band. AWR Persian
scheduled via Moosbrunn. I wonder what % of power goes off the back
USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, July 2 at 0331, no signal from R. Progreso; has it been
off all evening, sked 0030-0400? Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba. 5025, R. Rebelde, however, is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, July 2 at 0338, S9+30 Spanish music, so RHC in which
language? 0342 English announcement undermodulated and distorted but
music sounded OK. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 6000 not on earlier
but now dead air as well as on 12000 at 0347. 15230 JBA carrier, maybe
also still English like at 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, July 2 at 0336, JBA in S9+10/20 high noise
level, presumed Station YHWH as frequently reported around this time
when I am rarely monitoring (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz MCW, July 2 at 2213, Woodring AP Enid beacon EI
is JBA vs noise level; had not been able to detect it for some weeks.
Now absolutely no others penetrating, once regular (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.58 & 27224.9, July 2 at 0350, both S9+10 open
carriers, obviously the local Enid pirate often relaying 105.5 FM
translator, but no modulation right now. Same at 1851 recheck (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.010, July 2 at *2200.4, VOT cuts on late
for English, off and back on, 2201 JIP olds already. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. S9/+10 direct, would be sufficient if not
for my high line noise level. 2226 tune-in via UTwente when measured,
S9+35/45 plenty with commentary about China; 2232
``always-by-your-side`` promo, music; 2238 `Turkey`s Geomarked
Products`, some dish with goat or lamb meat; 2240 finished already,
``ABYS`` already again; 2241 song; 2245 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo;
2246 song; 2250 ``ABYS`` for at least third time this hour, and song:
finally a recognizable tune! ``Quizás3``, with Turkish lyrix,
``Dan-dan3``. 2253 s/off ignoring SW: something`s always awry at
Ankara. 2253.7 IS; 2256 restart IS with German IDs; 2300 timesignal
close to exact by my watch so must have been early with Internet
delay, s/on for satellite and SW but not at this hour, Alten starting
with northern Syria, which Turkey apparently considers it should
control. Still going past 2324. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler. BTW, Brasil missing from 11780; yesterday Paul Walker found
them way off frequency, 11974.666. I have something unID yet circa
11975 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13563+, July 2 at 0348, HIFER beacon AN is JBA at fadeup vs
high noise level. First one heard in many weeks on the ISM band
despite daily tunebys. LWCA list shows 13562.9~ for AN in Somerton AZ,
but this was on the plus side of 13563. Somerton is even further SW
than Yuma, right on the border (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2249 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday July 2 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/20 direct = HSNL.

NOT confirmed Tuesday July 2 at 1307 and later rechecks for the 1300
airing, because 9955 is now OFF the air! It had been running past
0600, instead of weekends only, as in separate report. Yet, 9395 &
9455 are still going strong at 1307. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

** U S A. 9955, July 2 at 0639, WRMI-3 is ON, surprisingly, on a
Tuesday rather than Sat & Sun only this late; in Spanish S9/+20, soon
ID as ``Noticias de América, en RFI``, i.e. France relay; a July 1
sked change? What does grid show now? Frequency/transmitter grid shows
nothing but TOMBS daily 0400-1100. System B sked shows 0400-1000
``Internet only except weekends 9955``, with the 06-07 program block
unspecific World Radio Network daily, with RFI Spanish supposedly at
05-06! The System E TOMBS sked, however shows 9955 aste*risked at
05-10 daily as weekends only. It seems to be impossible for them ever
to get all this coordinated and not self-contradictory. So the
question remains, was 9955 on past 06 this Tuesday just an error?
Furthermore, by 13 UT when WOR should have aired, it was OFF! 9955
past 0600 is bad news for VANUATU, q.v., 9960. Recheck at 2205, 9955
is back on undermodulated S9+10; nominal restart at 2200. Something`s
odd at Okee.

5010 WRMI is also on late contrary to *sked, Tue July 2 at 0651 with
TOMBS // much stronger 5850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, July 2 at 0337, no signal from WRNO. When active
should be on at least 0100-0400, right? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, July 2 at 0645, RV is on, but some splash
from 9955 WRMI running late, hope not a permanent nightly extension
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10048 USB, July 2 at 0638, selcall tones, ATC presumably
San Francisco remote-controlling transmitter in Hawaii or Alaska,
advising ``secondary`` frequency at 6673 rather than 6676 as copied
last time. Craft contacted not audible. Only 6673 item in EiBi is
00-24 San Francisco Radio CEP covering eastern Oceania from site dx,
which means Dixon, California, but what means CEP? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ALGERIA. 17600, July 2 at 0054, JBA carrier. Ifrikya FM, Béchar,
supposedly off between 2200 & 0600 but nothing else listed on 17600
anywhen. Only other significant 16mb signals 17675 NZ, 17715 & 17855
Spain. Seldom have a strong signal from it direct even over daypath
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, July 1 at 0637, RHC dead air still on with whine/tone,
S9+10/15. No others found. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, July 2 at 0059, RHC English, suptorted and breaking
up, and no signals on 6000 or 9700. Hardly any othersigs on 19mb
making this at S5/S6 the second SSOB after 15770 WRMI which is S9+20.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1020, July 2 at 0021 UT, KOKP Perry finally back on air
with Triple-Play Sports Radio, after 6 days silent following
hurricane-force windstorm early UT June 26 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1020, June 30 at 1929 UT check, KOKP Perry is still off.
Must have had serious damage in June 26 windstorm (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR) {:correxion to time in these two, not 2029 and 2030:}

** OKLAHOMA. 1170, June 30 at 1930 UT, KOTV-AM Tulsa: was to change
calls
from KTSB and format from sports as of June 26 but not checked until
now vs high noise level: Oklahoma weather, then news by local anchors,
1936 more Oklawx. Sounds like it is ``News on 6`` subchannel of
KOTV[TV!]. Now that makes some sense, but is that it 24/7? (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR) {Yes, News on 6 IDs: these are not continuous ``new
news`` but olds: replays over & over of latest real newscast aired,
like also on sibling station KWTV OKC, ``News 9`` on RF 25, not to be
confused with KOKH ``25`` on RF 24. KOTV main RF is 26, Newson6 26.3}

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, July 1 at 1705 UT, K17JN-D, Enid`s only local TV
signal is off again, the 3ABN multi-channel satellator; no sign of DX
signals on any other channel, so not just QRMed by KTEN, altho area
tropo is supposedly enhanced per APRS map. Oops, NOT off. Punching 17
on the STB prefers to go to RF 36, I don`t recall what station that
used to be. Its absent subs alternate with those of ``K17JI-D``. STB
has retained wrong ID display, K17JI-D which really applies to a
California station!You`d think a station really matching RF channel
with virtual channel would achieve priority (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, July 1 at 2200, VOT English not off the air: s/on
says you can hear us by satellite or internet, no mention of SW. Maybe
I am wasting my time hearing them on a nonentity medium? Some versions
do mention SW, but only 17620 at 1230, NEVER this or any other repeat
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2249 monitoring: Not confirmed
Sunday June 30 at 2025 the 2000 on WRMI webcast only: has been
replaced by something else on sked. Still confirmed the 2000 on WRN
Europe webcast.

Also confirmed Sunday June 30 at 2156 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.000, S9+10 and 6160.001, S9+5/15 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Sunday June 30 at 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+10/20 into
Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 1 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 into
Querétaro SDR, closer to where it`s aimed, but this early better into
Georgia SDR, S9/+10.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 1 after 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160
-69 Hz = 6159.931, S9+5/15 into Georgia SDR.

Aldo confirmed Monday July 1 at 1953 the 1930 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.001 and 3975.003, VG into UTwente. Next:

0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW [irregular];
1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW [irregular?];
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;

UNIDENTIFIED. 1020 kHz, July 1 at 0622 UT in continued absence of KOKP
Perry OK, SAH of 200/min = 3.3 Hz, between a musical and a talkical
station, likely the two 50 kW, KCKN Roswell NM and KDKA Pittsburgh PA.
MWOffsets shows their exact frequencies 1019.9946 and 1019.9973,
respectively, i.e. 2.7 Hz apart; but KCKN has had a wider variability
range which could account for 3.3. In USA there are a few other 1020s
at night with much reduced power except for never-heard KTNQ Los
Angeles. Maybe another possibility here, KMMQ Plattsmouth NE, 50/1.4
kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, June 30 at 0107, RHC is on at S8/S9 with modulation
breakup in English // 6000 at S9+20/30 with same breakup. 15230 is not
and never has been an intentional English frequency. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. 11760 & 11950 & 9700, June 30 at 0103, no signals
from RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 11830, June 30 at 0105, song with good signal
direct. Shouldn`t there be `news` this early in an hour? EiBi shows
CRI Spanish to S America at 2300-0300 via Kashgar, land of imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1020, June 30 at 2029 check, KOKP Perry is still off.
Must have had serious damage in June 26 windstorm (Glenn Hauser, Enid,

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5, June 30 at 0110, S9+20 of JBM praise music, and
also on 27224.9, the Enid CBer. Did not have a second receiver handy
until 0141 to reconfirm these are // 105.5 K-Love translator of 88.9.

Again June 30 at 0642, still going, undermodulated on both. And at
1448, JBM on 27184.5 and slightly stronger/louder on 27224.84, no
third frequency but why are there even two? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAO TOME. 15460, Sun June 30 at 1452, M&W in unID African language,
the SSOB, S9/+10 with little else on 19m, even WWCR 15825 weaker
direct, not yet sporadic-E boosted. 1458 into song until 1459*
chopoff. EiBi shows VOA in KNK Sat & Sun at 1430-1500; to be followed
daily from 1500 by VOA Hausa via Thailand! Odd site for W African
service, but I had already tuned out. KNK means KinyaRwanda-KiRundi.
NOTE! São Tomé site is slated for closure per Dan Robinson, as well as
Tinian, NMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 29 concluding previous log via UTwente:
2252 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, s/off ignoring SW, 2253 fragment
of IS and chopoff, no finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 10048 USB, June 30 at 0644, ATC contact giving ``secondary``
frequency of 6676, and selcall tones. Typically nothing on these most
of the time, but brief bursts of activity when needed. EiBi shows
10048 as San Francisco but transmitted via Barrow, Alaska, or
Moloka`i, Hawaii, 24 hours available. Only other 10048 is Tokyo Radio.
6676: supposedly VOLMET only, rotating: Australia, Kolkata, Mumbai,

** U S A. 15770, June 30 at 0107, WRMI in Thai, then English,
apparently a testimonial to The Supreme Master cult (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 1020, regarding KCKN Roswell NM, well audible at night in
the absence of Okie KOKP: it`s listed as 50/50 kW, different
direxional patterns day and night: but it seems to have been on STA
forever. Digging  into FCC, normal patterns are very similar, lobes
NW/SE or NW/SSE, both with deep null toward KDKA, i.e. THISAWAY. We
should not be hearing much of it, if at all. One STA authorization
which expired earlier this year, was to use night pattern at day,
which should not make much difference here. Sounds to me like they are
really non-direxional, surely not aiming for KDKA, but not bothering
to protect it. Years ago opening up Clear channels for new 50 kW
stations in the West was contingent on protecting the legacy
easterners!

NRC DXTRA NEWS list of STAs updated to March 25: ``KCKN NM Roswell –
STA for U4 30000/50000, night pattern 24 hours (expires 2024-07-01).``
So something may be about to change (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, June 30 at 0105, AM carrier probably RHC on 2 x
6000, but intermittent talk on USB, maybe Spanish, 2-way riding it
conveniently? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9665.07 approx., June 29 at 0650, RVM music S5/S7, again
wandering upward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA & MEXICO. Dispatched my last report of FM DX before adding
the final touches, city-to-city distances from/to in km and statute
miles. These will appear in the final log archive, and on FM DX lists.
Generally: Marathon ON 1659/1011. Aguascalientes Ags 1669/1037.
Nayarit-Jalisco 1770-1933/1100-1201 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 9700, June 29 at 0648, nothing here, neither
RNZP nor RHC. Maybe why I heard Cuba only last time, was that NZ did
not come on until 0700? Again tonight I`m too asleep to check for that
again. Yes, current sked shows QSY from 13690 to 9700 at 0658-0659
Mon-Sat; and literally NO signal anywhere on Sundays at 0659-1258.
Surely that`s not what they really mean and do (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.50 at S9+5 and 27224.80 at S8, steady open
carriers, obviously the Enid CB pirate which often relays 105.5
translator of K-Love 88.9. Can`t make out any modulation now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 15, KTBO ``14``, June 29 at 1830, finally back on air
after blown out by high winds 2+ days ago. 5 channels: 14-1 TBN HD,
14-2 Merit, 14-3 Inspire, 14-4 SMILE, 14-5 POSITIV - note that these
are case-sensitive.

I`m checking after first seeing Optimum Cable 3 with a notice instead
of black screen: ``Due to technical issues at the station, we are
currently unable to receive this channel. The station has assured us
that they are working as quickly as possible to resolve the issue. WE
APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE``

And still so at 1921. Well, if they tuned to RF 15 on an antenna in
Enid, like I do, they could certainly receive it now!! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sat Jun 29 at 2205, VOT English not off the air,
S9+30/40 into UTwente with news; 2212 music; 2219
``always-by-your-side``, `Energy Agenda` on solar; 2233 `Turkey`s
Geomarked Products` outro, music, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Sporadic E FM DX opening, Saturday June 29 from 1539 UT into
caradio:

93.5 at 1539, song in Spanish. PTA is eastern North Carolina as per
following logs, among only six non-LP, non-translators in entire USA
totalling 22, altho there is one NC translator, so likely the only NC
full power in Spanish:
WLQB 93.5 OCEAN ISLE BEACH NC 6.0 kW 100.0 m 33-55-37 78-23-48 Spanish
REGIONAL MEXICAN EL PATRON 93.5
But it was not heard again vs the KS fringer stronger than usual. 1787
km / 1110 miles

97.3 at 1541, Optima Tax Relief, (910) AC which chex for SE NC,

93.5 at 1549 briefly, hymn in English, so not WLQB or Kansas. If still
NC, there is one full-power religious further inland, WYFQ-FM
Wadesboro, 8.7 kW, 169 m 1613 / 1003

95.1 at 1558, WRNS ID; 1601 another WRNS Kinston ID:

By 1610 DX has died out, so break until resuming at 1634, but no more
Es, just KS spoiler on 93.5; see separate logs of nearbies (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. Nearlogs which searching for Es FMDX June 29:

96.7 at 1553, weak, leapforjoy.com - which leads to a totally
different dating site; Verizon ad; 1559 mentions Texas, so only KTCK
again.

94.5 at 1555, DFW mentioned, Magic 94.5, or rather:
KZMJ 94.5 GAINESVILLE TX 100.0 kW 591.0 m 33-32-13 96-49-65 HD URBAN
CONTEMPORARY MAJIC 94.5 315 / 196

93.5 at 1638, VG C&W, non ID only as ``93-5``! Tell us something we
don`t already know! Same at 1652. Too strong for KS fringer? But also
too steady for Es. Finally full ID at 1658 as KKDT, Burdett KS. 248 km
/ 154 mi. So I quit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1020, June 29 at 0641 UT, KOKP Perry OK is still off, but
instead of KDKA last time, now dominant is screaming gospel huxtress
in Spanish, no doubt Radiovisión Cristiana via KCKN Roswell NM. What a
waste of a 50/50 kW clear channel. At 1526 recheck, KOKP still off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, June 29 at 0648, RV in Bislama talk, S7/S8
direct but some ACI from 9955 WRMI in Spanish with RFI relay, on this
late weekends only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
