Tuesday, July 02 2024

Hauser
** 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?];

check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.

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

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,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1170, June 30 at 2030, 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)

** 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,
Karachi, Singapore, Bangkok

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2249 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
June 29 at 2300 on WTWW 9474.982, S9 into UTwente but considerable ACI
from both sides 9470 & 9480. VG direct; into Lincoln NE SDR S9/+15 on
9474.981 calibrated with WWV.

Also confirmed ending at 2359 on IRRS/NEXUS/IBA/IPAR webcast so still
starting properly at 2330 sharp.

Also confirmed UT Sunday June 30 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10 into
Bonaire SDR, no jamming audible.

Also confirmed UT Sunday June 30 at 0317 about 3 minutes into so
started circa 0314 the 0315v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15/20 into
nearby SDR but with heavy storm crashes.

Also confirmed Sunday June 30 at 1900 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz,
S9+15 into nearby Noale SDR. Next:

2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2330 UT Sunday WRMI 7570 to NW;
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW;

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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)

Hauser
** 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 [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2249 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday June 29 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, VG direct.

Also confirmed Saturday June 29 at 0930 on WRMI 9455, S9+30 direct,
NEW.

Also confirmed Saturday June 29 after 1430 0on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.000, S5/S9 into UTwente.0000

Also confirmed Saturday June 29 at 1628 the 1600 on WRN N America
webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday June 29 at 1732 the 1730 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.000 S8/S9 and 3975.003 S9 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday June 29 from 2013 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860
AM, MO, S9+15 into nearby SDR.

Also confirmed the Saturday June 29 at 2000 on WRN North America

** 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)

** CANADA [and non]. After a day of mostly <88 MHz MUFs June 26, late
evening sporadic E FM DX had erupted UT June 27 when I checked DXMAPs
after 0230. So hastened to the car. Except for this, all other logs
this session are filed at OKLAHOMA [and non].

93.1 at 0248, ``30 minutes of music -- for you -- sound, CFNO`` and
$ tereo rock. I thought DX would be from NW like Alberta, but this is:
CFNO-FM 93.1 MARATHON ON CAN 50.0 kW 265.0 m 48-45-11 86-34-52 HOT AC
Overriding the fringe Kansan on 93.1. Marathon is on the north shore
of Lake Superior between Thunder Bay and Wawa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, June 28 at 0640, RHC in Spanish, S9+30, on *much* later
than usual; would collide with NZ as heard here last night, but no
sign of it now for me, but:

``[WOR] Cuba squatting on New Zealand's 9700 kHz allocation, 0700 UTC
June 28 --- Fri, Jun 28 at 7:27 AM --- Tuned into 9700 kHz at 0700 UTC
June 28 to find Radio Havana Cuba still on the air in Spanish,
clashing with RNZ Pacific. 73 Ricky Leong, Calgary, Alberta,
Canada``

Somethings` always wrong at RHC, At 0649, 6000 is also still on at
S9+15/20 but dead air except some tone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. DXMAP shows Es FM DX paths between OK area and southwest
Mexico, so I delay lunch and head to the car thru 100-degree heat, max
109 later! June 28:

92.7 at 1848 UT, tropical/Mexmx $ , 1849 f/out, 1851 f/in ``Conexión
92.7`` so it is:
XHCPDI-FM 92.7 AGUASCALIENTES AGS 65.0 kW 46.41 m 21-50-46 102-17-16
TU CONEXION CULTURE VARIETY CONEXIÓN 92.7

92.1 at 1852, $ PSA, Soriana ad, ``Locura FM``, Nayarit ad, two more
``Locura FM``, 11:53 time = MST UT -7. Also at 1912, Mex rap,
``Locura`` in lyrix; 1913 ``92.1 Locura FM``, 12:13 timecheck = MST UT
-7. No crazy Locura slogan listed anywhere in Mexico. Therefore must
be a change for this:
XHUX-FM relays: AM 810 92.1 TEPIC NAY 5.0 kW 230.7 m 21-43-44
105-03-55 GRUPERA LA PATRONA

94.5 at 1854, rock/salsa f/in/out; 1856 Spanish announcement with
background noise, mentions Argentina, Esperanza; Aguascalientes,
``R-U-A-A``, ``proyección de la Voz Universitaria``, CCI, plug program
viernes at 2 pm on 94.5 FM; 1858 talk about a student in Poughkeepsie
[!], Nueva York. A bit of 94.5 Spanish JBA again at 1915:
XHUAA-FM 94.5 AGUASCALIENTES AGS 25.0 kW -16.0 m = BELOW average
terrain! 21-58-23 102-21-36 COLLEGE RADIO UNIVERSIDAD Universidad
Autónoma de Aguascalientes

93.5 at 1859, Spanish, CCI, YL & OM DJs, laughter SFXs, 1902 ad, ID
93.5 X---- fades but mentions Nayarit; 1903 SHVA = super-hype voice
actor lengthy ID as ``La Patrona`` 93.5 FM: WTFDA FMDB has no NAY on
this frequency, but Wikipedia: XHEJ-FM, Bahia de Banderas, Nayarit,
Mexico. Broadcast area: Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. 93.5, Branding: La
Patrona. Yes, Puerto Vallarta is right next to Nayarit:
XHEJ-FM 93.5 PUERTO VALLARTA JAL 25.0 kW -22.05 m = BELOW average
terrain! 20-46-12 105-12-27 REGIONAL MEXICAN LA PATRONA

93.3 at 1905, Spanish music CCI to OKC C&W, $ , 1908 ID missed, too
much QRM. There are no 93.3 stations in known PTA = probable target
area, of Jal, Nay, Ags

96.3 at 1909, Spanish briefly against 96.1 OKC ACI; two stations in
Jalisco

92.9 at 1911, Mexmx, maybe another from Nayarit PTA:
XHZE-FM 92.9 SANTIAGO IXCUINTLA NAY 25.0 kW 64.36 m 21-48-01 105-14-06
SPANISH HITS BALADAS LA PODEROSA

95.1 at 1916, Spanish CCI briefly to Bott KQCV OK. Only this in PTA,
calls used to apply to channel A3 in Mexicali often seen!: XHBC-FM
95.1 CD. GUZMÁN JAL 1.03 kW 270.0 m 19-39-52 103-27-40 3D44 - 'KRDS'
ADULT CONTEMPORARY BC 95.1

Opening lull or out by 1916, so break for my long-delayed lunch; one
more when resuming:
88.1 at 1952, ``Universal``, YL is despediding herself, ads in pesos,
Soriana, PSA about clínicas, CCI from Okies, .mx wesites. One 88.1 hit
on Universal!
XHRED-FM 88.1 CD. DE MÉXICO CDMX 95.0 kW 561.0 m 19-27-08 99-22-03 HD
3D4F XHRED-FM 88.1 FM Oldies NEWS/TALK UNIVERSAL 88.1 (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1020 KOKP and 105.1 KOSB Perry, June 28 at 1458 UT, are
still off the air after windstorm, early UT June 26. Does website
acknowledge this?
http://tripleplaysportsradio.com/
NO! Header describes group this way: ``105.1 & 93.1 Stillwater, 93.3
Ponca City, 1020 Perry, 1580 Blackwell`` - I`ve never heard the 93.1
translator, unless that was the sporadic dead-airer; nor 93.3 blocked
by OKC station; there is a link to X, but ``nothing to see here yet``
Abottom home page, interesting animated weather map of wind predixions
for the following week from www.windy.com Another check June 28 at
1918 after MexiDX, 105.1 is back on but not 1020; and 1580 has stayed
on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. After a day of mostly <88 MHz MUFs June 26,
late evening sporadic FM DX had erupted UT June 27 when I check DXMAPs
after 0230. So hasten to the car. See also CANADA for one definite
log. Frequency after frequency turn out to be ``spoilers`` from KS,
OK, or TX with enhanced conditions anear rather than Es from afar!

89.5 at 0246, jazz in $ tereo, not Tulsa or Kansas per skeds; mixing
with gospel huxter, normally `open` frequency. 0300 ID for KJCC
Carnegie OK, amid CCI. At 0315 promos for FRC. 0332 about evangelism
in Nicaragua; anti-mainstream-media, Family Research Council plugs,
``The Washington Stand``, frc.org; 0337 program now is ``Washington
Watch``. A huge affiliate list is here for W.W.:
https://www.tonyperkins.com/stations
Far Christian right show, via several networks, AFR, Bott, CSN, etc.
Searching on 89.5 leads to 15 stations including KJCC from CSN at this
hour.

96.5 at 0249, Tulsa Mix 96.5 has CCI, with ad for phone 225-9111 Steve
Johnson. Search on that leads only to Barrie, Ontario, landscaping
business; but no viable radio hits there.

101.3 at 0252, ``Today`s best country`` and tasteofcountry.com - KFDI
Wichita KS and KLAW Lawton OK, both fringers, are struggling for
primacy, and both country, but not those exact slogans in FMDB - maybe
program names rather than stations`. Website has plenty of stuff
including podcasts, but nothing about radio affiliates.

101.5 at 0254, Mexmx in $ , strong but fades out just in time for any
0300 ID! Hope it`s Es, but surely not Canada. Could be fringer in KS,
100/100 kW KSMM Liberal. As I noted before, our nearby religious SS in
Okeene OK, is absent. 0323 f/in again Mexmx.

102.5 at 0305 in $ mentions ``Christian faith``, normally vacant
channel here; maybe 100/100 kW KKCV, BOTT in Rozel KS, which is WSW of
Great Bend on the way to Garden City. Nothing in OK.

103.9 at 0304 SRN news, KHYM ID. Is 100/100 kW Copeland KS, also
relays invading OK.

94.1 at 0308, ``94.1 KXOJ`` ID, gospel mx - Glenpool OK (Tulsa). 0327,
program `Live Wire Nights`, CCI, David Jeremiah with San Diego
address, ``Turning Point``. Website
https://www.davidjeremiah.org/radio has neat feature, ``stations near
you``, six in KS and OK including two in Enid - but not on 94.1.
Download and consult *huge* station list by country, state and city:

https://d2urhn0mmik6is.cloudfront.net/site/_images/radio2/radio_log.pdf
Incredibly the call for every CSN affiliate is KAWZ-FM, its orginator
in Idaho, not local calls! including what should be KJCC 89.5 Carnegie
OK. There are only? 10 hits on 94.1, including in OK, only ``KQCV-FM``
OKC, which is a translator, in addition to 95.1 KQCV-FM Shawnee. Yet
what I am hearing is either KXOJ, or 9.8/9.8 kW KTHM 94.1 Waynoka
``The House`` relayer of 89.7.

96.7 at 0309, DFW ad, as KTCK again penetrates way up here from Flower
Mound TX.

88.1 at 0313, song with lyric ``97.5 Radio One``, and ``The Bird``,
then a song about Virgin Mary. What in the world? That`s the slogan of
DXLM in Philippines and of an Atlanta station, but what about 88.1?
There is no Georgia connexion between 97.5 and 88.1. Could be *CBC*
Radio One, CBEW Windsor on 97.5, but again what`s the 88.1 connexion?
Maybe this: CBEW relayed on 88.1:
CBEE-FM relay of:CBEW-FM 97.5 88.1 CHATHAM-KENT ON 1.43 kW 126.0 m
42-27-00 82-04-59 NEWS/TALK CBC RADIO ONE WINDSOR - but would CBEW
have any local programming mentioning 97.5 other than IDs during
national feed? Could also be merely an Okie spoiler with strange
programming.

101.7 at 0322, mention ``Royal Fund Management``, smax of Canadian?
and fade-out. No, HQ in The Villages, Florida, but could do business
anywhere.

Another possible Es opening, June 27 at 2034, nets only nearbies:

92.1 at 2034, ``The Beat`` - that`s 27/27 kW KTBT Broken Arrow
(Tulsa). More dominant normally is KFXI 100/100 kW Marlow mono.

92.3 at 2036, L&C sportstalk, ``Throwback``, Wichita mentioned. So
KKGQ Newton KS, 100/100 kW. Woodward OK talk station normally
dominates.

97.1 at 2040, L&C sportstalk, normally nothing vs 96.9 local. Mentions
Oklahoma, ad for Sun & Sky. So 100/100 kW KYAL Muskogee (Tulsa) Sports
Animal (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri June 28 at 2201, token English from SNR, S9+20/30
direct with news, leading with snap elexion in France. 2207 Mideast
correspondent on Lebanon music festival at end of June, also good on
17715, fair on 15520, not checked on 15390. 2223 S9/+10 via Maryland

postponed from June to August, with dramatic mid-news stingers. 2222
via UTwente when measured, S9+30/40 with `Folk Tales`. 2230 music.
2234 `That`s Why`, Ms Badax, this week on paradoxes, contradixions,
repeat of June 24, music. 2247 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2249
music. 2253 s/off ignoring SW, obsolete? 2253.5 IS once before
chopoff*, no finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28225 CW, June 28 at 2203, K5GJR/B and gridsquare, Orange
Grove TX, previously logged June 5, q.v. Much stronger than:
28245, June 28 at 2204, the Long Beach beacon WA6APQ again, see June
26; and even weaker 28300, K6FRC. No phonesigs on 10m in quick
bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2249 monitoring: confirmed Friday
June 28 at 2058 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz,
S9/+10 into nearby Noale SDR; also confirmed the 2030 on WRMI webcast
only.

Also confirmed Friday June 28 at 2200, first SWBC on WRMI 9955, S9/+10
direct, JBA direct as undermodulated and about equal to noise level;
at 2225 into Bonaire, S6/S8 with some jamming; better into Maryland
S5/S7 with less noise but still some jamming.

Also confirmed Friday June 28 at 2243 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.000, S8/9+5 into UTwente.

I notice already June 28, WRMI transmitter skedgrid has been
advance-dated July 1; but each individual System grid is still dated
March 10, altho there have been many changes since then. Nothing added
or deleted compared to known WOR timings. Next:

** U S A. 15770, June 28 at 0638, S8/S9 of dead air from WRMI-9,
unusual; yet it`s the SSOB in depressed propagation: strongest signal
on band. Scheduled at 0630 daily and normally heard is Eslovaquia in
Espanish. More DA reported on 15770 before and after 20 UT by John
Figliozzi, Kari Kallio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, June 28 at 2345 into NH SDR:
3265 & 5130 OFF; 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929 TOMBS S7/9+10; 7490 -71 =
7489.929 - see how they match, FKB S9+10. Instead of a verbal ``one
minute`` warning to FKB, a tone alert, so he wraps up in time for
double WBCQ ID, and disclaimer that the following AAAWWW originally
aired June 21, 2024, i.e. last week as I already reported on it; never
mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, June 28 at 0644, R. Vanuatu with island music, S6/S7
direct. As for 7260, Manuel Méndez says, ``7260 is on air these days
at about 2000, and before 2000 on 3945`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10125 USB, June 28 at 0640, trace of JBA talk. I check
this every night in bandscans and first time anything heard in months.
There was an Australian ragchew ham net before, but never could copy
any IDs. Wish others would check this. Apparently, only in Australia,
phone is allowed on ``30m``, not just CW/digital. The expired
Colombian ham HK3QQ with partly incorrect CW in keyboard order on same
frequency is no longer ever heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
