** CUBA. 4765, June 26 at 0148, no signal from R. Progreso, but 5025, R. Rebelde is on. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. The Other Side:
``Covert castigation: violations of the right to health in Cuban prisons --- While ordinary prisoners' health is compromised by 'indifference and indolence, political prisoners are victims' of 'systematic attacks' on their health through conditions of isolation, and illnesses, explains Juan Carlos González Leyva. Raúl Medina Orama, Lima, 25 Jun 2024 - 18:01 CEST Magalis González turns on the camera on her cell phone to post her umpteenth complaint on social media about the health of her son, Ismael Rodríguez González. The young man, sentenced to seven years in prison in Cuba for the massive protests in July 2021 (11-J) lies near her, dazed and with swollen feet, after arriving from the Guanajay Penitentiary, west of Havana, where he is serving his sentence...`` https://diariodecuba.com/derechos-humanos/1719331284_55644.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 11610, June 25 at 1830, VOA Amharic this hour via Woofferton UK is being jammed by buzzing and beeping noises, but at UTwente, that`s underneath VOA. Tnx to tip from Paul Walker. At 1840, no jamming audible into TWR Kenya remote. By 1915 when language is Oromo, jamming level is heavier as heard by UTwente. Why would Ethiopia be so concerned about VOA? Of course the Amharix and Oromos don`t get along. Recorded sample of jamming right after VOA went off at 1929; maybe will put into WOR 2249 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 105.1, June 25 at 2322, KOSB Perry is MONO, not shown as such in WTFDA FMDB. ``Triple Play Sports`` also on AM 1020 & 1580. And running a commercial for ``University of Maryland, Global Campus``, of all things, in OSU territory. However, at 2030 check June 26, 105.1 is OFF, likely another victim of last night`s windstorm / powerlines down. And at 2043, I notice that its AM companion, 1020 KOKP is also off! Maybe we can hear KDKA again tonight if not RVC Roswell. Third 3-play outlet, 1580 KOKB Blackwell is still ON. I thought they operated out of Stillwater but NRC AM Log shows Ponca City address for 1020 & 1580, the latter being close to PC. Trying to check whether 105.1 and 1020 are at same site, but FCC AM Query can`t find KOKP! As if it have been deleted. LMS can, but not the page with coordinates. All three are licensed until 2029y. Since the WTFDA FM DB editors apparently don`t pay attention to my reports, I have notified them directly about this mono and others confirmed this year by monitoring: in OK: KIEL 89.3, KFXI 92.1, KOSU 91.7 =50/50; KS: KCVW 94.3; TX: KTCK 96.7; Mexico: XHMYL 92.1. And just now at 2030 June 26, I notice two more monos: KHEV 90.3, Fairview OK; and 100.9, K265FL, Enid, talkradio translator tail wagging the dog of 960 KGWA. KQCV 95.1 Shawnee is another Bott station, likely to be mono too? Yes! at 2308 fadeups vs KICT Wichita which is $ tereo, the 100/100 kW KQCV signal is definitely mono. 95.3, the KOKC translator in OKC, K237GE, is in $ tereo, talk station might as well be mono for slightly more effective coverage. Would you believe that the WTFDA FMDB shows its antenna height as 0 meters HAAT?? It must really be way up on some TV tower to reach as far as Enid reliably with 250 watts. FCC FM Query also shows 0 m HAAT, but 658 m AMSL and 314 m AGL, with a link to Calculate HAAT: that ``results`` in 302 m -- that`s 990 feet. If our LP CP on 95.1 come on, will put an end to it around here (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 15, June 26 circa 1500 and still at 2359 UT, NO signal from KTBO ``14``, Trinity in OKC. Must have been blown off air by huge hurricane-force straight winds/not tornadic storm hitting OKC area late last night, many power lines down in addition to building damages. KTBO also missing from Optimum cable ch 3 in Enid: unlikely to have relied on off-air pickup, so TBN damage may be more than just transmitter/antenna. All other OKC TV signals back to `normal` levels except RF 29 KTUZ, weakened but still sufficient. Nothing recent on KTBO website, let alone any damage report! https://www.tbn.org/stations/ktbo-tv-oklahoma-city-ok God got`em, but not the secular competitors. KFOR, KOCO, KWTV and KOKH all went full-storm coverage pre-empting at least late-night network shows. CBS Colbert, a rerun anyway, could be found on shunt station KSBI ``52`` on RF 23. No doubt each station`s website has much about the storm; damage repair expected to take quite some time. Thousands of customers are without power as temps exceed 100. Enid was missed by this but eastern part of Garfield County also had outages, as well as many other counties eastward and southward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {slight correxion to last report; omitted ``SW`` after ``ignoring``:} ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 25 at 2159, VOT IS, 2200 timesignal about 9 seconds late: if you can`t do better than that, don`t TS at all! S/on, English direct is not off the air, S9/+10 vs high noise level. 2208 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2225, VG S9+30/40 into UTwente when measured, `Weekly Commentary` about digitalization written by a TRT guy. 2229 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2230 music. 2234 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products`, on ship models made of different kinds of wood. 2236 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2237 music. 2240 more music. 2244 another song. 2247 another song, NEVER identified or described. 2250 another song. 2254 s/off ignoring SW: satellite and internet only. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2255 IS once and off* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 26 at 2200, VOT English not off the air but JBA direct. At 2253 tuned UTwente, S9+35/45, just in time to measure it and hear OM s/off ignoring SW, 2254 IS, chopoff at 2255* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. A few 10m beacons are making it via sporadic E, insufficient to reach the FM band, June 25 at 2202-2208 UT: WGB listing first, ``My very basic old style receiving station is located at #0 JN44jt Low Piedmont, Italy at 170m/558ft asl.`` And then from QRZ.com: 28215, long dash, VVV KA9SZX --- ``28215 KA9SZX - Macomb IL USA EN40pk - #0 (20 Feb 2024) Note: Ant Cushcraft CX-1000 pwr 3w`` ``KA9SZX USA flag USA, MARK A GARRETT, 9885 E 950 th ST, Macomb, IL 61455, USA`` 28245+, JBA, VVV DE K0WKT/B --- ``28245 K0WKT - May City IA USA EN23gh - #0 (12 Feb 2024) Note: VVV de ID + IA IA`` ``K0WKT USA flag USA, Jesse Castillo, 2238 Albert St., May City, IA 51354, USA K0WKT/B-10 METER BEACON, EN23, May City, IA "VVV DE K0WKT/B K0WKT/B K0WKT/B IA IA IA 0.5W" 28.245.3 Send reports via mail to address at top of bio or email to: jessec1@iastate.edu 73!`` 29251, EEEEEEEEEE DE KC5SQD/B --- ``28251 KC5SQD/B - Missouri TX USA EL29go - #0 (20 Mar 2024) Note: de + ID + grid + E × 10`` ``KC5SQD USA flag USA, NATHAN O "Nate" SAMPSON, 7619 S GLEN WILLOW, MISSOURI, TX 77489, USA`` One more logged the next day, June 26 at 2235 on 28244 CW: EEEEEEEE DE WA6APQ/B CN LONG BEACH CA - also but not in every iteration: PSE QSL SASE. I`ve logged him before. ``28244 WA6APQ/BCN - Long Beach CA USA DM03vu - #0 (06 Feb 2024) Note: WA6APQ/BCN EEE - Pwr 30w`` ``WA6APQ USA flag USA, DEWEY MYERS, 2903 Monogram Ave, LONG BEACH, CA 90815, USA The WA6APQ BEACON on 28.2440 MHz is located on a 330 foot hill (Signal Hill) in Long Beach, California.

Audio/Video and Youtube recordings are welcome. Thank you for looking`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2248 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday June 25 at 2336 the 2330 on WRMI 9395, S7/9+5, -58 Hz into Peoria SDR, but calibration is way off showing WWV on 10000 -62 Hz, so WRMI really on 9395.004! Also confirmed Tuesday June 25 at 2337 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.001, S9+5 into UTwente and almost synchro with WRMI. Also confirmed Wednesday June 25 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.000+, S9+5/10 into UTwente, and about 3 words behind on 3975.003, S9/+5. Also confirmed Wednesday June 26 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -69 Hz = 7489.931, S5/S8 into Maryland SDR. Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

** ALGERIA. 17600, June 25 at 0706, Ifrikya FM, S1/S3 in French but almost readable, SSOB surprisingly and especially since hardly anything is propagating on 15 MHz band. Much of the daytime, 17600 has been JBA here. Used to include some 5 minutes in English sometime during the 06-07 & 18-19 UT hours, not caught recently (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 25 at 2159, VOT IS, 2200 timesignal about 9 seconds late: if you can`t do better than that, don`t TS at all! S/on, English direct is not off the air, S9/+10 vs high noise level. 2208 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2225, VG S9+30/40 into UTwente when measured, `Weekly Commentary`` about digitalization written by a TRT guy. 2229 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2230 music. 2234 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products`, on ship models made of different kinds of wood. 2236 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2237 music. 2240 more music. 2244 another song. 2247 another song, NEVER identified or described. 2250 another song. 2254 s/off ignoring, satellite and internet only. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2255 IS once and off* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2248 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday June 25 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S4/S5 direct and no jamming audible; followed immediately RSI Slovakia in Spanish with no ID break. 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. As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks for a generous check on a US bank for Summer Solstice from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 9960, June 25 at 0657, in bandscan direct, tune-in just in time to hear an S1/S3 signal here, YL talking, sounds like French, but cuts off at 0658*; back on briefly and off again to stay. This is a formerly used R. Vanuatu frequency, nothing else scheduled now, so surely this explains why 7260 is no longer heard before 0700, as I had just reconfirmed a few minutes earlier. But are they moving to 7260 after 0700? NO, still nothing. 3945 is again being reported as the next frequency, but still lacking the helpful harmonix 7890 & 11835 it used to provide. 0700 is too early for me to get 3945 if on, and the harmonix are still suppressed. Other reports: ``Lucio Otavio Bobrowiec, 3945 kHz, R. Vanuatu, VUT; 06/25, 0928-0937 YL, OM. 35333, 7890, 11835 off/inaudible (LOB). Tecsun 310ET, Dipole 18m, Embu SP Brasil`` Wolfgang Bueschel: ``9959.998 kHz, two radio signals here on that channel at 0624 UT, probably R Vanuatu, Pacific radio program. S=9+5dB on Edmonton, AB-CAN`` EiBi still shows 9960 but at 2300-0458 only. Then 7260 at 0458-1105 & 1959-2259; but also 3945 at 0458-1105 & 1845-1959. Aoki shows 3945 at 0600-1000 & 1900-2000; 5040 at 2000-2400; 5055 at 2100-0100; 7260 at 0000-0559; and no others. Yet different info in HFCC: the very first entry is VUT on 2485 at 1000-1900; 3945 at 0600-1100 & 1900-2000; 5040 at 2100-0100; 7260 at 2000-0700; 9960 at 2300-0700; all daily for the entire A24 season. RNZ has filed those frequencies for them as they also do for Solomon Islands. Vanuatu have only one 10 kW transmitter, so much of these skeds must be taken as possible alternatives (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2300 UT June 25

** CUBA. 9700, June 25 at 0154, RHC in English with good signal; not on 11950 now but Jon Collins, Birmingham UK reported at 0020: ``listening to radio habana cuba on 11950 khz in english from 00:00 utc, very strong reception with very good audio etc but yl reading the news speaks too quickly. Tecsun pl-660+15 mtr long wire`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Monday June 24 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+10/20 direct; also detectable on 17715, 15520 but not 15390 which for Africa is always weakest here. First news item about the tragedy of Melilla, when thousands of migrants mostly from Sudan were killed trying to get into that enclave next to Morocco. 2220 interview about researching the Spanish civil war. 2227 outro, has been with Nigel Thompson, author of new Penguin book, ``Modern History of Spain`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.000, June 23 at *2200, VOT carrier cuts on a few sex late, no modulation, S9/+5 into UTwente and not the usual .009 offset, but cuts off at 2202* and never comes back for rest of hour. So much for English to us and the Letterbox show. Should have checked previous accidental alternates 11795 & 9875. Another anomaly followed UT June 24: JRX in Brasil heard them in unscheduled Portuguese after 0000 on 9870, test?; which is sked for Spanish at 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.010, June 24 at 2200, JBA carrier direct if it`s VOT; but a few minutes later it`s S9/+10 but still insuff. vs noise level. Into UTwente at 2218 when measured, S9+40/50 about Turkey`s solar energy capacity. 2226 music. 2230 multi-lingual ID filler reel, music. 2237 `That`s Why` with Ms Badax, something about paradoxes, contradixions, lying, logic. 2242 music. 2247 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2248 music. 2253 s/off by OM ignoring SW. 2253.4 IS to chopoff at 2255.2* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9870.005, June 24 at 2355, VOT IS, S9+25/35 into UTwente, with ACI until it`s off at 2356*, presumably CRI 9865 Urumqi. And at 2256 restart IS with Portuguese IDs; hard to understand, but seems like ``Ouvem a TRT, Voz de Túrkiye`` [not Turquia, stress on the i]. JRX in Brasil heard this test? broadcast last night and we are rechecking. Some modulation dropouts. 0000 UT June 25, S/on with lengthy satellite parameters, 5-digit MHz frequencies, symbol rates, etc., for a broadcast at 22h Turkish time, I think. At the very end also mentioned SW 9870, time not copied, but presumably now and an intentional broadcast before the 01-02 Spanish on same, rather than accidental. Does not start with news, rather music, and very little talk during hour. 0027 multi-lingual ID filler reel like during English. 0034 `That`s Why` theme, now titled ``Por que``? YL announcer with Luso not Braso accent, and JRX finds her Turkish accent makes it harder to understand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2248 monitoring: UT Sat June 22: ``I was passing through the 5-MHz band [5085] when I noticed that WTWW had a very good signal (SINPO 45333) coming in tonight, and there was Glenn's voice with "World of Radio" in progress. I already listened to the latest episode via podcast, but by 0414 UTC, Glenn was talking about New Zealand and then Oklahoma as the program progressed through the episode. The episode was done at 0428 UTC, followed by a religious song, a couple of transmitter interruptions mid-song at 0430 UTC, then off for good a moment later. The signal was down to SINPO 35333 before sign-off. Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington`` Confirmed Sunday June 23 at 2027 the 2000 on WRN Europe webcast, but not on the 2000 WRMI webcast only: rather, music fill; did WOR start and cut off early or not at all? These timings have been problematic. Still on skedgrid, and Wavescan started OK at 2030. Confirmed Sunday June 23 at 2130 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.001, S8/9+10, and 3975.002, S9/+10 into UTwente. Also confirmed Sunday June 23 at 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+15/20 into Georgia SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday June 24 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+15 into Querétaro SDR. NOT confirmed UT Monday June 24 at 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.931, S9/+10 into NH SDR. Instead, 0301 ID and nothing but rock music, no announcements, until 0400 ID and turnover to TOMBS! Larry Will explains: ``I was away this weekend and the automation system failed to pick up JPL {Johnny Lightning?} for some reason. This cascaded into the later programming as well. I apologize for the non-airing. Lw`` Also confirmed Monday June 24 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, into UTwente: 6160.001 at S9+10 and 3975.004 at S7/9+5. Next: 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; 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160. As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks for a generous check on a US bank for Summer Solstice from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130v, June 23 at 2358, NO signal from this WBCQ into Maryland SDR. Seems it has not come back since activated with a stronger transmitter for `AAAWWW` UT June 22 until 0100. ``No *rump none of the time`` --- I`m for that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WTWW: SW100 transmitter update from George McClintock, June 23: ``Glenn, I have just removed the 4 loading inductors (coils) from the Harris SW100 number 3 transmitter and placed them in cleaning vinegar. After washing, they are ready to be put back into place. These coils were so dirty that the motors were having a difficult time moving them. I had to put a voltage regulator in that had been removed and the wires tied together by the previous engineer. The high voltage power supply is working well. We are getting ready to bring the Harris SW100 transmitter up in the very near future.`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 24 at 0635, RV is gone again, no signal. I did not check for other frequencies but he did: ``[WOR] R. Vanuatu on 3945 kHz --- Lucio Otavio Bobrowiec --- Hi all, 3945 kHz, R. Vanuatu, VUT; 06/24, 0934. 7260, 7890 and 11835 off/inaudible. OM 25422 (LOB). Tecsun PL 310ET, Dipole 18m, Embu SP Brasil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 4940, June 24 at 0639, JBA music, presumed Estación 4940. Usually nothing there around this hour, but surely this when there be; has been quite erratic. Much earlier into Bonaire SDR but unlogged, it had a VG signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 28290, June 24 at 2127, JBA carrier direct when there is nothing else on 10m. I could report countless unID carriers, but mostly internal birdies landing on odd split frequencies. This one could be third harmonic of 9430 - but nothing listed anywhen there by Aoki or EiBi. Let this anyway serve as a reminder to be alert for such harmonix especially on higher bands when propagation opens up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0218 UT June 25

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [and non]. [WOR] Hedy Lamarr, spread spectrum innovatress -- I just happened to run across this on the Cheddar News cable channel; per TitanTV listings, repeats, here converted strictly to UT times, days and dates:
[Cheddar News HD] The Lightbulb Moment The Hollywood Actress That Laid The Groundwork For WiFi (Repeat, 2/03/2021, S1/E1) Sun June 23 1730 UT Mon June 24 0530 UT Sun June 30 1430 UT Mon July 1 0230 UT There may be more in July, as yet unspecified. Another episode is `How Edison Reinvented Invention` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935-, June 23 at 1947, checking for the Riyadh roar, not done lately nor seen other reports: into UTwente, there it is, maybe a trace of program music? modulation underneath, S9+15/25. In synch mode stepping back and forth 5 kHz, can`t decide where to land exactly: 11934.842, 11934.722 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 22 not tuned in via UTwente until 2220, S9+50/55 of VOT English, when it`s in music. 2224 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2227 music. 2232 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` about mulberry molasses. 2234 www.TRTEnglish.com promo, music. 2240 more music. 2244 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2245 music. 2248 TRTVOTworld.com promo, music. 2253 ``always-by-your-side`` promo and s/off by Ms Badax as if this were the 1230 on 17620, and IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs. 2300 s/on German and start Altrichten until 2302.5* chopoff. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2248 monitoring. Not confirmed Saturday June 22 at 2300 on WTWW 9475: except for my first 8 words or so until switched to Scriptures for America Worldwide! I`ve asked Bob & George if they intend to resume WOR on 9475 now or at any other time? Bob indicates that this was an error.

As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks for a generous check on a US bank for Summer Solstice from Gerald T.

Re FM DX log of WRVQ 94.5, Greg Hardison replies: ``I checked the WRVQ entry on Radio-Locator, and sho' 'nuff, it jives out there as 200 kW! I expected a bit of Corporate-Radio BS, perhaps counting 100 kW twice, as in H + V modulation. So then checked it on the FCC FM Query page: same deal, logging in at 200 kW. Apparently it must pay to have connections, hi hi! And it's no real surprise to hear a spot mentioning "the Beach". Much of my family's from that part of the planet, and there is a good amount of commercial-and-leisure trans-traffic up & down I-64 between Richmond and the Hampton Roads area; much more so than one sees between Rchmd and D.C., which is only about forty miles further away. As for the "ad" on the Liberty Univ. Outlet, remember, the RW extremists are above any mere laws, so if they are not divinely struck down while airing commercials below 92 MHz, then it must be all good! :^)> :^)>`` A few FM stations, notably in Michigan, were ``grandfathered`` in with excessive powers. I just went thru all 634 MI stations in WTFDA FMDB, and found only these super-powers: 93.7 320/320 kW ERP WBCT Grand Rapids 104.3 190/190 kW ERP WOMC Detroit 105.7 265/265 kW ERP WSBW Grand Rapids And of the 515 VA stations, only one other >100/100 kW ERP: 99.1 190.9/190.9 kW ERP WSLQ Roanoke I wonder if they acquired over-powered transmitter(s?) and/or greater antenna gain? But especially how they justified greater coverage than competitors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU [and non]. 7260, June 23 at 0625, RV is active JBA. The 40m band now is crammed with hams for Field Day & Night?! Right now they are far enough from 7260 not to be a problem: LSB on 7259, 7263. Normally 40m LSB hams avoid the higher reaches anyway, more and more below 7250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. MUF spike to 107 MHz NW of here per DXMAP before 0200 UT June 23, after a day mostly below 88 since big morning Es opening I mostly missed; so out to the car for bandscan: nothing much, but 89.5, an ``open for DX`` frequency except for ACI, has something JBA on it: I rarely even trace KWGS Tulsa. Seems like ID at 0159, ``This is CF---`` something and shortly gospelhuxterism mentioning prophecy, body of Christ, etc. Any clues at WTFDA FM DB? After 0230 it`s inaccessible, `Bad Gateway`, server overload. So I pull out the final FM Atlas from 2010y: only 3 stations in western Canada, AB and BC, none of them with CF-calls. O, WRTH 2024 shows that has not changed much, nor in SK, MB. Meanwhile DXMAP shows paths between OK and WA, nexus over WY, grrr. Next day by 1538 UT June 23, FMDB is back in biz: of the 28 Canadians on 89.5, the only CF- prefix is in Goose Bay. Is there a marginal religious 89.5 around here? Yes, 23.5 kW KJCC Carnegie OK which I have rarely logged; and three further translators in OKC, Elk City, and Felt at far end of Panhandle. In KS, xltrs in Topeka, Parsons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1954 UT June 23
