** OKLAHOMA. 95.5, March 23 circa 2340 UT, it`s been quite a while
since I have driven thru the intersexion of S. Cleveland & W. Owen K.
Garriott in Enid, where there has been the focal point of a very weak
pirate with rock music. Yes, it`s still there, undermodulated rock and
$ tereo pilot is on; barely enough to overcome the adjacent 95.7 local
and two fringe Okies on 95.5 itself. Never heard any announcements,
let alone ID, but never listened for more than a few minutes.
Meanwhile no signals around downtown on 93.1 or 95.1 today nor lately
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 16, Virtual 46, KOCM Norman OK, is only 27 kW ERP, and
usually not strong enough to decode thru my antenna, altho its main
channel is on coveted low cable channel 6. Gospel huxters. However,
when I am getting it direct with a bit of tropo help? I discover 46-3,
KOCM-SD which is Daystar Reflections [sic, no x`s here!], showing
scenes of nature with locations captioned, and quiet relaxing music,
not necessarily religious, with Bible verses - if you ignore those
intrusions, it`s quite pleasant. March 24 circa 0500 UT, after
watching only a couple hours, I hope I am correct that it`s 24/7 like
this? Here`s the full network listing:

this WTWW transmitter is finally back on the air, so unless something
else go wrong, WORLD OF RADIO should appear UT Saturday at 0300. Not
on the air when I turn on right away, but is at 2200 into Georgia SDR
with `Scriptures for America`, S9+35, then cut modulation, so just
testing. At 2208 direct, S9+10/20 vs high local noise level. Off at

** U S A. 9455, Mon Mar 23 at 2222, S9/+10 of dead air from WRMI-11
which skedgrid shows xmtr not starting until 2300 with System D. Nor
accounted for in any other System program grid. At 2300 starts to play
`Joy to the World`, harmonious version with guitar & chorus in

modulation during song in English; also weaker 15140 S7/9+5 and not
too much windhowl? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880 & 15140, March 23 at 1858, RHC in Kriyol, about
S9+10/15 on both into Georgia SDR, but 15140 is JBM and 11880 slightly
overmodulated and distorted. Somethings always wrong at RHC, but
tolerable. Instead of cutting to dead air before English can start,
keeps modulating! 1859 IS, 1900 English opening previewing contents of

kHz. This is 11 pm HCM, i.e. immediately following `La Hora Nacional`
on UT Mondays; otherwise NAs more likely to play at local midnight,
which is 0600 UT except Texas border cities forced to observe American
CDT = 0500 UT. Identity obvious in most cases from major stations, but
what about: ?

590, XEPH in CDMX is biggest 25/10 kW, while closest XEFD Rio Bravo
does not NA per IRCA Mexican Log; two others. Immediately following ID
is time to snatch IDs. 0503 ``La estación más caliente?`, string of
government PSAs, 0504, ``esto es música continua`` - IRCA shows `La
Más Caliente` is a slogan of XEPH, a.k.a. Sabrosita.

610, XESORN Saltillo Coah is closest, 4 others

1280, XEAW Monterrey probably, but 4 others

Some other SS were not NAing as I tuned across: 660, 770, 1050.

By 0508 some more SS which may or may not have NAed: 860 lectura, 0510
music.

1090 at 0523 lectura on N/S antenna only and LSB required to avoid
KRLD IBOC noise peaking 1093; likely XEAU Monterrey.

1300 at 0525, song; two lowpower Texans are SS:REL, and WNQM Nashville

power, but night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

playing then? Monday at 1:21 am {0621 UT} ending From the Top, NPR,

Then ``Amarillo`s home for independent country music``, ad for Glenrio
town on NM border; ``Texas 95-7 KPUR``. Seems the 1440 has been off
for quite a while. First noted in MWCircle:

``KPUR Amarillo TX 1440 on air again - From: Bjarne Mjelde Date: Sun,
22 Mar 2026 19:32:17 UTC - Haven't seen any posts in here about it,
but according to the FCC info they resumed operations on March 11.
Heard here at the KONG-HQ in Arctic Norway with 95.7 liners and
mentions of 957kpur.com, likely on day power the last two nights. C&W
format. -- From the world's northernmost DX-er, Bjarne Mjelde, Arctic
Norway, kongsfjord.no, arcticdx.blogspot.com`` and in IRCA, Paul
Walker suggests they turned it on to preserve license, i.e. allowed
silent time about to expire, so we`ll hear if it vanish again. It had
been off for almost a year. KPUR is U2 5/1 kW, no longer farm/talk/ag
format ``all ag all day``; night pattern favors NW/SE put plenty to NE
not notched. 100 kW 95.7 is licensed to Claude, which is ESE of
Amarillo on US287 on the way to Clarendon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 1948 UT March 23

** CHINA [non?]. 7500, UT Sat March 21 at 2220, talk in Chinese?,
music, S9+10 direct vs noise level of S9+10. 11575, at 2221, S9 sounds
the same but not attempted to match //. EiBi shows 7500 at 2200-2230
daily? VOA Mandarin via Philippines, and CNR1/Firedrake jamming at
same time M-F only. And 11575 at 2200-2230 only, RFA in Mandarin via
PHT, no CNR1/Firedrake jamming. Aoki shows both VOA and nothing about
*jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, March 21 at 2214, RHC Spanish, S9+10/20 with windhowl,
// clear 11760 at 2217, S9/+10 direct. Shortly after this there was
another severe blackout. At 0642 March 22, 5025 is off nor any RHC
frequencies found; nor at 1450. By 1929, S7/8 carriers only on 15140,
11880, not 11760, so some power is back on for RHC to waste (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 5890.3, March 22 at 0054, Farsi? presumed Iran

year ago to gospel huxters, KBCW 91.9 McAlester and KCSC 95.9
Woodward. Playback of entire program from back then? WTFDA FMDB shows
91.9 call now KJAL, but still as relay of classical KUCO --- NOT! And
95.9 as KJAR, ditto! Radio-locator.com shows owner of 91.9 is now The
Christian Center Inc., unknown! format. But it still has 95.9 as KCSC
relaying KUCO! Broad search on owner name leads to KJRF Lawton, `King
Jesus Reigns Forever`, on 91.1, which is the flagship no doubt relayed
by the others; none of which I have heard, nor care to. KJAL & KJAR
slogans now no doubt King Jesus + something; ideas? Website of KJRF
but nothing about the others?

Confirmed Saturday March 21 at 2034 the 2030 on SW Radio Gold,

Also confirmed Saturday March 21 after 2030 on WRN North America

S3/S4 into Brasila.

Sat Mar 21 at 2335, WRMI 9455 with gospel huxter instead of deadair,
so maybe the anomaly has been fixed allowing WOR to be heard again

** U S A. Re KTALDT 6-1, RF26 Shreveport DTVDX, as rabbitears.info
reminds us, community of license is Texarkana TX - not AR - not that
it matters, but operates out of Shreveport LA, market sharing, and
site in LA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Mar 20 at 2330, as I predicted in
previous report, WRMI relay of RAE cuts to dead air, but not off the
air, and re-signs-on from 2350 runup to ToH. I`ve again informed Jeff
about this anomaly/mixup which has been happening every day, also
disrupting VORW and WOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, March 21 at 0637, S8 dead air in Spanish from RHC,
only here, not 9710. But 5025, March 21 at 0639 S9+40 of dead air in
Spanish from R. Rebelde. Precious electricity and the fuel to generate
it going totally to waste. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2339 monitoring: confirmed Friday

** U S A. 5130 -60 Hz = 5129.940, Fri Mar 20 at *2355, this WBCQ cuts
on with The Planet IS & ID reel, S9+10/25 into Vermont SDR which WWV
says is accurately calibrated; unlike WBCQ; and shortly 6160 -71 Hz =
6159.929 is also on and //, S9+5/20, but I soon notice that 6160
modulation is slightly louder than 5130. 7490 -49 Hz = 7489.951 is
wrapping up FKB, and by 0000 UT Sat Mar 21, I switch to webcast, `WTO`
theme of `AAAWWW`, first interjexion maybe ``re-up``? Not sure. Later,
``Yes, we are real, we are not Memorex...``. So it`s another
non-rerun.

As often, starts fiddling with their microphoniums [sic, he means
microphonia], and why doesn`t he get that all set before going on air?
Ah, it`s so ``live``. Then on and on about audio processing. Angela
sneezes and is blessed at 0008; then I zone out. By 0030 still on same
subject. 0038 says trimulcasting on 7, 6 and 5. Names some new
programs, Upstream, Servants of God; and unnamed one yet by a guy in
Portland ME. Then warns elders to beware of scams, as in latest AARP
magazine; AI is a *tool* which can be used for good or evil, but it is
increasing ``expeditionally`` [sic] as he says thrice rather than
``exponentially``.

0047 finally music break by Beatles, a tune I do not recognise. 0049
fiddling with mixe again, loose connexion, testing. 0052 situation at
the 9330 Superstition = still looking for major client to lease it for
6, 12, 18 or 24hpd; too expensive to operate it for shorter periods;
takes 45 minutes to turn it on including 30 minutes to warm up major
tube. Does not mention possible Hal Turner this time for 6 hours on
Saturdays. Recommends `Le Show` Suns 7 pm ET as Harry Shearer has been
with WBCQ since the beginning. 0054 emails: report that CBS Radio News
is shutting down. 0059 prayer. At 0100, 7490 goes to rock show, `High
Voltage` --- despite websked still showing Hal Turner! and HV nowhen;
6160 pause and s/off despite websked also still showing Hal Turner;
5130 to some other music, despite outdated websked not showing fq at
all on UT Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Huge tropo blob from TX to FL and rather far inland on the
DXMAP, but Enid is on the edge, March 21 at 1459 UT. DTV bandscan hits
numerous `bad` or `NO` signals on open channels, but one decodes well:
RF 26, KTALDT 6-1. Yes, no hyphen in the call displayed. NBC
programming. That`s Shreveport LA, the station with a ``tall``
antenna. I don`t get any 6-2 or further subchannels. Holds up until
1515, and occasionally pops in during next semihour. Distance from
Vivian LA site to Enid is 529 km = 329 miles. Some closer signals from
Tulsa, Eufaula, Fort Smith also in, and some OKC signals became BAD
presumably because of DX QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Mar 21 at 0631, R. Vanuatu, island music S6/S8
better than usual direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1652 UT March 21

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Fri Mar 20 at 2255, WRMI with IS & ID loop
preceding `top of hour` programming; which at 2300 turns out to be RAE
in Portuguese; platforms include radiogarden, and WRMI with no
details. then music, one preview topic about Mendoza. I`ll bet it
default to dead air at 2330 and another ToH leadin at 2350 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, March 20 at 2300 past 2310, NO signal into UTwente
from VOT English; maybe still on preceding 9610 for 2130-2230 English?
Something else is there with music at 2303; only CNR8 in Mongolian
listed. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 275 MCW kHz, March 20 at 0619 UT, HIN, 25-watt NDB
`Whitney`, Chadron NE. Seldom heard here; well, first heard exactly
one month ago, not since (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2339 monitoring: confirmed first SW
BC, Friday March 20 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, S9+20.

Also confirmed Friday March 20 at 2058 the 2030 on WRMI webcast only.

Also confirmed Friday March 20 at 2100 on World FM, New Zealand
webcast.

Also confirmed Friday March 20 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.996+, S9/+10 in UTwente, but already in music at 2157; did it
start early or get chopped short?

Not confirmed Friday March 20 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9/+15 into
Georgia SDR; rather, `Quorum Radio`, which is still on WRMI skedgrid
ONLY at 2200 on Tuesdays, WOR still sked now. Permanent change? Next:

** U S A. 1070, March 20 at 1258 UT, sportstalk, WDIA ID in passing,
mywdia.com -- it`s U4 50/5 kW in Memphis TN. Night pattern has very
tight major lobe southward, very little thisaway toward KNX, but day
pattern is oval favoring N/S, yet plenty sideways too. Another bonus
from the silence of Wichita. Today`s real sunrise there was 1204 UT,
as to be expected on the Vernal close to 90 degrees west; so should be
legally on day pattern now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, March 20 at 0636 UT, L&C RCC talk, call-in discussing
Martin Luther, who was hard to get along with, tsk2. This signal is
totally unusual; 1090 at night has nothing but weak mixes, but this
sounds like a major 50 kW clear-channel station. 0655 closing the
show, from EWTN. Yes, as I suspected, its KEXS Excelsior Springs MO
[Kansas City], a 10 kW D4 DAYTIMER! With illegal ops like this, who
needs SW 15610? Not unusual to hear it just before sunset. Day pattern
is ovalish favoring the SW toward Wichita and me from site NE of KC,
definitely inside MO:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KEXS&service=AM&h=D
D4 means it also has a ``critical hours`` power of 4 kW with a
different pattern but very similar, anyhow well beyond CH in the
nightmiddle. Next check at 1256 UT, also well audible, mentioning
Catholic Radio Network. I`ve yet to definitely hear KAAY Little Rock
on 1090 since its degradation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 969.935 approx., March 20 at 0652 UT, low audible het
against 970.00 signals. Yes, the TV set is off, so this may be real,
but nothing that far off in mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
