** CHINA. 9745, Oct 24 at 2018, S6-S8 and one of the better
extracontinental signals on band is Firedragon music, vs no victim
audible, i.e. RFA Chinese via Kuwait at 19-21. Both of them should
blow away poor Bahrain if it`s really 24/7 on 9745, never heard
anywhen here. BTW, this portion of Firedragon included a drone which
almost sounded like a voice, but surely not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, Oct 23 at 0622, RHC English is S9+10 of dead air; the
others are sufficient in the S9 to S9+20 range, 6100 and 6060, but
somewhat less modulation on 6000. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 24 at 0614, RHC English is still on here; nominal
closing is 0600, but sometimes carrier stays on --- and now,
modulation too! // 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165 are all sufficient; and the
leapfrogs are making JBA carriers on 6020, 6270. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOMALILAND. 7120, Oct 23 at 0330+, no signal from R. Hargeisa.
Checking since Wolfgang Bueschel noted it missing Oct 21 at 0425. Has
it finally evacuated the hamband or gone for good? Needs more
monitoring. WRTH 2018 nominal schedule was 0330-0500, 0900-1400, 1500
-1900. Note it could sometimes be heard by longpath in C&W North
America in the 13-14 hour which included some English (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1953, D LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 11615.67, Oct 24 at 2008, weak S2-S3 YL talk in French. As
soon as I find this way-off-frequency one, I figure it must be Turkey,
as Emirler have been defecting thus on a number of frequencies: Yes,
per Aoki, the only thing on ``11615`` is VOT French at 1930-2025
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1953 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday October 24 at 1030 on WRMI 5950, S9-S6 (the same canned WRMI
ID ran twice at 1029). Also confirmed Wed Oct 24 at 2100 on WRMI 9955
and on WBCQ 7490+. WRMI is slightly stronger S9+10 vs WBCQ S9, but
9955 also with lite pulse jamming: tnx a lot, Arnie!

** U S A. 5950, UT Wednesday Oct 24 at 0023, WRMI is in Spanish
instead of unpublicized new WRN English relay --- outro of a ``canciÃn
cubana del siglo XIX`` somehow related to bÃisbol, ``pausa`` at 0030
for a clear ``Radio MartÃ`` ID mentioning 1180 AM, as such a relay is
now temporarily sked on WRMI Tue & Wed, higher priority than WRN.

But 5950 is NOT // the real RM frequencies 6030, 7335 and 7365, which
are amid play-by-play of a real silly baseball game (guess which?).
0146 recheck, 5950 still in Cuban Spanish. For some reason, RM is
running separate programming via WRMI during the National Sequence. We
hope WRN English will soon resume on 5950.

5950, Oct 24 at 0617, so it has, S9+10 but with deep fades, African-
orientated feature from Uganda about Mercury poisoning, 0620 on to
Ghana with something about the GÃthe Institute, so this is surely
Deutsche Welle as sked this hour on WRN and which I first discovered
on 5950, Oct 21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475-, Oct 23 at 1424-1444+, WTWW-1 is S9 of dead air. Don`t
wake up, Ted! This ``programming`` is a 1000% improvement over a long
-dead racist gospel huxter from SFAW. I keep checking thruout the day
and when convenient leave a spare receiver on 9475 with volume turned
up, to hear NOTHING but dead air with occasional fading noise: 1625-
1755+, 2050, 2133-2400+; but at 0021 the signal drops out so I think
it has gone off, but JBA carrier still there, so maybe propagation
crashed first. BTW, the only competition for 9475 might have been TWR
Swaziland at 1745-1815.

At 0140 Oct 24, neither 9475 nor equivalent night frequency 5830 of
WTWW-1 is audible, and it`s still off at 0623 while neighbor 5935 WWCR
is VG; but 5085, WTWW-2 has come on by 0140 with music discussion
about the chromatic scale, rather than usual ham show. (The competing
ham show on 5129.8, WBCQ, is however on and poorly audible).

Next daytime, Oct 24, after 1409 check, 9475 is back to full PPPP
modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5970, Oct 24 at 0617, WEWN Spanish is back on with good
signal, absent 48+ hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** CUBA. 13740, Oct 22, less than two minutes of overlap today between
RHC Spanish music and CRI English news, 1400-1401:50, adding up to
S9+30/40. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

that WRMI`s other African beam on 21525 is almost 10 MHz higher. There
has to be a huge propagational differential (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** NORTH AMERICA. UNID, 6940-USB, Oct 21 at 2314 rock music at S6-S7

** THAILAND. 9390, Oct 22 at 1244, R. Thailand amid news in English
about clashes in Kaduna, poor with flutter, ACI de TOMBS 9395. HSK9 is
rarely listenable here, but it might be if they would only aim this
way instead of SE! But this frequency is about to be deleted in B-18.

English broadcasts from HSK9 have been caught at unscheduled
times/frequencies: by Alan Roe at 0120 on 15590, supposed to be an
hour in Thai between Englishes to North America, but back to Thai the
next day; by Ron Howard at 1130-1200 on 5875, English instead of
Japanese and German, and with a transmission break at 1144, beam
change? This was Oct 14, 15 and 17, so not an anomaly.

I check the HFCC B-18 sked as of Oct 14 and do not find any such
changes, but some other ones for the alleged complete English:

7475 at 1900-2000 & 2030-2045 to Europe (ex-9390)
9940 at 1230-1300 & 1400-1430 to SE Asia/Australia (ex-9390)

17640 at 0530-0600 to Europe (no change)

hardly anything in English (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 1953, DX

reducing to only 5 strategic Afro/Asian languages, not including
English or German, DW English is back on SW! see USA: WRMI (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Bill Hepburn`s tropo maps for 1200 & 1500 UT Oct 20 show
a level 5 = strong blob centered around Ft Smith AR, lesser rings out
to marginal by Enid, but this fits exactly for the DTV DX I am getting
starting at 1420: first of all, it`s clear that RF 42, KBZC-LD
``Enid`` --- transmitter in OKC, hasn`t moved to channel 9 yet.
Without tropo I cannot normally see it at all here in its Community of
License (a farce). Seven disposable channels are provided, as
incompletely IDed by bugs; the PSIP on all of them is the same: KBZC-
LD. 1, football; 2, CBN ``News`` in LR; 3, Buzzr bug in LR; 4, kidvid,
E/I circle in UR; 5, QVC in LR; 6, QVC2 in LL. 7, some other shopping
grafix. Same thing again 24 hours later at 1437 Oct 21 --- except 42-1
is black and silent!

Back on Oct 20, some Tulsa market channels are decoding, ho hum: 28,
20. Two OKC channels are BAD because of DX interference; RF 25 KWTV
TEST from OKC is also running weekends, with DX QRM; see USA (Glenn

October 20 at 1256 check the 1231 on Unique Radio via WINB 9265 -
S9+10 with fades to S5, and hardly any carrier wobble at the moment,
but usual lofi audio.

Not confirmed at 1431- on HLR 9485-CUSB via UTwente SDR --- nothing at
all audible here except splash from 9490 CRI, not as bad as last week,
but Alan Gale, from further NW England reports:

``9485 good again today --- Hi Glenn, Good reception here again on
9485 kHz from HLR today, World of Radio 1952 came through perfectly,
with nothing more than a few shallow fades. Definitely a big
improvement over 6 MHz, that's for sure! Alan``

following his relay of World of Radio. First of the all-upbeat tunes
is a version of ``Smoke Gets in your Eyes``; 1315 ``Hitchin` a Ride -

** U S A. 5950, Sunday October 21 at 0600 after WRMI ID, switch to
World Radio Network! ID and into Deutsche Welle in English, the weekly
`World Link`, starting with the #metoo movement. It`s S7-S9 and noisy,
much inferior to 9395 Oldies at S9+20. Skedgrid now shows System E on
5950 at 0500-0800, but no further info about what E entails! Could
there be more WRN stations to follow, and/or also as now shown in
bright green from 1500 to 0300? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. Bill Hepburn`s tropo maps for 1200 & 1500 UT Oct 20 show a
level 5 = strong blob centered around Ft Smith AR, lesser rings out to
marginal by Enid, but this fits exactly for the DTV DX I am getting at
1426: RF 18: KFSM-DT 5-1 with CBS; 5-2 KXNW-DT (34 bug); 5-3 Antenna
TV, after 1500 with `Wildlife Docs`. RF 18 finally starts breaking up
by 1515 UT.

See also OKLAHOMA. Two OKC channels are BAD because of DX interference:
RF 27, no KFOR-TV, surely due to KFTA-TV, 600 kW, Ft Smith AR
RF 15, no KOPX-TV, surely due to KHOG-TV, 180 kW, Fayetteville AR

RF 25, the KWTV TEST with color bars, gray scale and bouncing pings is
now running also on weekends, seen both Sat Oct 20 and Sun Oct 21,
altho first at 1430 UT Oct 21 it is not decoding, then starts to
overcome DX QRM with mixed pixels. Only other OKs on 25 are low-power
CDs or translators. Most likely this is from the real RF channel of
130 kW KXNW ``34`` Eureka Springs AR, which is also on RF 18 of KFSM
as 5-2 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 21 at 0330-

Then on the adjacent NRD-545 with ALA-300 antenna E-W, I check out
some of the better prospects, employing PBT, narrow bandwidth, and
manage to pull a little bit of audios:

1044, Oct 21 at 0353, talk sounds Spanish: there are two SER stations
in SPAIN, but only 10 and 5 kW; presumably the 300 kW Moroccan is
still inactive. In fact I am getting two carriers beating, as in MW
Offsets about 8 Hz apart:

1043.9951 SER (Valladolid) [range: 1043.9946-] 24h 2016-10-04
1044.0028 SER (San SebastiÃn/Monte Igueldo)[1044.0017-] 24h 2017-03-27

1215, Oct 21 at 0400 talk, surely Absolute Radio, UK synchros,
originally 14 of them, adding up to 560 kW per WRTH 2018 (Glenn

the DentroCuban Jamming Command! --- tsk2, nothing to jam on 9955
after WRMI closes at 1400 (except Sat), so might as well jam this!
Without it, T8WH from far Palau used to have a generally better signal
here than WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [non]. 11580, Friday Oct 19 at 1351, Qur`an with reverb,
S9+10, i.e. Radio Nigeria, Kaduna, FRCN still relayed via WRMI;
violating Separation of Mosque and State, as the federal government
thus endorses Islam. Take that, Christians! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1230, Oct 17 at 2017 UT on cardaio, I check out semi-
local (in the daytime) WBBZ Ponca City, as there have been reports of
name/format changes. ``Ponca City`s variety station, Sunny one-oh-
four-point-seven [104.7]`` is the only ID here on AM 1230.

So I check 104.7 and hear CCI between two stations, one of them
country, NEITHER matching 1230 as I A/B. (Likeliest other is KVCY Fort
Scott KS, 16/16 kW, 201 miles in SE Kansas).

At home on the PL-880, I do get local PC ads on 104.7 at 2036 UT, and
then at 2038 UT: ``The new one-oh-four-seven The Bull`` and country
music.

So we have the incredible situation of the real 104.7 (KQSN, not a
translator) and another, fake 104.7 identifying as such on 1230!

This was reported in NRC DX News Oct 1 in Wayne Heinen`a AM Log
update: ``1230, WBBZ, Ponca City â Format to TLK/AC (ex-NWS/TLK/SPT);
slogan to âSunny 1230,â networks to C/Ok/Oa/P``

Here`s the website:
http://www.poncapost.com/wbbz-schedule

The homepage link labeled ``Sunny 1230`` goes to this!:
https://www.poncapost.com/sunny-104-7

``Sunny 104.7 is the regionâs only Adult Contemporary radio station
targeting 25-54 year old adults with a mix of Todayâs Hits and
Yesterdayâs Favorites!

Station Distinctives

Locally Unique: A blend of artists like Pink, John Mayer, Rod Stewart,
Katy Perry, Aerosmith, Adele, Elton John, and Carrie Underwood.

Local Information: Sunny features local news updates from 7am â 6pm
weekday, plus 24/7 Dan Holiday Weather from the Oklahoma Storm Watch
Weather Center, and live coverage of Ponca City High School Sports.

Local, award winning talent: Lyman James, most recently with Clear
Channel/iHeart Media and a veteran of larger markets like Wichita
(KFDI and KKRD), Kansas City (KQRC), Charlotte NC (WLYT) and
Sacramento (KGBY), now makes his home here in the heartland and hits
the airwaves live every weekday morning in Ponca City. Lyman has
earned many industry awards both on-air and production work.

Locally developed programming. Other local FMâs turn to LA and Denver
for satellite fed music and air personalities for up to 21 hours per
day. All Sunny 104.7 music programming originates here locally,
designed specifically for the tastes of adults across North Central
Oklaoma [sic].

Multiple local platforms: In addition to our broadcasts at 104.7,
Sterling Broadcasting also operates Ponca Cityâs legendary 1230 WBBZ,
and owns PoncaPost.com, a local community news and information portal
with over 24,000 followers, plus several other digital assets to
provide maximum impact for our advertisers.``

Yet also prominently displayed is a Listen Live link for 104.7 The
Bull! but does not seem to have its own page or schedule.
https://www.poncapost.com/wp-content/plugins/srr-listenlive/images/listen.png
which leads to:
https://streamdb9web.securenetsystems.net/v5/KQSN

I suppose ``The Bull`` be a recent rebranding of 25/25 kW KQSN. But
the old branding lives on via sibling station 1230 WBBZ, which
otherwise has lost its own original identity, a legacy dating back to
*1928.

Wikipedia says: ``On September 12, 2018, WBBZ changed their format
from classic hits to adult contemporary, branded as "Sunny 1230"
(format moved from sibling station KQSN 104.7 FM Ponca City, which
switched to country).

To add to the confusion, WBBZ (AM) is unrelated to WBBZ-TV in
Williamsville NY, DTV RF channel 7, originally analog 67 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U A E. 15215.126, Oct 19 at 1347, fluttery JBA carrier stix out
sorethumbly in BFO 1-kHz step tuning bandscan. Aoki/NDXC shows it`s DW
via Al-Dhabbiya, 1330-1430 in Dari & Pashto. Typical shoddiness from
this site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Oct 18 at 1641, random check of WRMI on caradio finds
dead air, while 9330 WBCQ continues BSing. Same situation Oct 19 at
1422, silence of TOMBS on 9395, non-BS preacher measured on 9330.169
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 18 at 0457, WRNO with distorted modulation, soul
music, S9+10; 0458 outro ID as ``The Haven, Fridays at 8-9 [AM or
PM??], Saturdays 10-11 AM`` when WRNO is never on the air! Anyhow
this sure isn`t Chinese.

`The Haven` is shown multiple hours on this undated and outdated
schedule which I searched out altho it has no link from the WRNO
homepage:
http://www.wrnoworldwide.com/schedule-wrno-app/

7505, Oct 19 at 0644, WRNO still distorted modulation, but now in
Chinese, S9+10 fading to S6. Ron Howard says he still hears Chinese at
times from WRNO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
