** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, this Saturday July 24 at 1446 and later
chex, NO signal from LRA36 into Campo or Pardinho SDRs in Brasil. Had
been repeating the Wednesday broadcast on Sat circa 14-16 UT (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 4975, July 25 at 0109, still getting JBA carrier here. On
July 22, Lúcio Otávio Bobrowiec in Brasil reported:

``Hi all, Listening "A Voz do Brasil" programme on 4975 kHz at 2228.
Second day it happens. 73 Lucio Brasil`` --- to which I replied:

``WRTH of 2005 had three ZYs on 4975; one of these?

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. The third distinct sporadic E FM DX opening this
Saturday, axually now UT Sunday July 25, after earlier ones from
MEXICO and Wisconsin+, USA, q.v. also for setup; times always UT.

96.5 at 0021 UT Sunday July 25, ``On Country 106 and 96-5 CKFM``,
event promo and fadeout. This is it:
CKLJ-FM 96.5 OLDS AB CAN COUNTRY 96.5 CK-FM 35.0 35.0 124.0 0.0
51-45-30 114-05-39 --- 2137 km = 1328 mi

But what about the ``106`` which was not heard but referred to as a
co-station? WTFDA DB shows no relation, but further research finds
this one jointly owned by CAB-K Broadcasting:
CKVG-FM 106.5 VEGREVILLE AB CAN COUNTRY COUNTRY 106.5 13.0 13.0 107.8
107.8 53-28-26 111-50-39

Vegreville is east of Edmonton; Olds is between Calgary and Red Deer.
They are 234 km = 145 miles apart.

94.1 at 0022, rock music; 0038 rock and CCI; 0040 ad or promo about
homefield.ca for targeted advertising; ``The Eagle 94-1``. Only Eagle
hit in USA, Canada or anywhere in WTFDA DB is:
CIMG-FM 94.1 SWIFT CURRENT SK CAN CLASSIC HITS EAGLE 94 100.0 43.0
140.4 140.4 50-16-00 107-54-08 C7CE --- 1737 km = 1079 mi

93.7 at 0023, C&W CCI to KSPI Stillwater with OK weather

101.7 at 0029, jazz steady with only a bit of fading. Hard to believe
my semi-local 50 kW KREJ Medicine Lodge KS would be doing that as a
gospel huxter, or as WTFDA politely puts it, ``religious teaching``.
0032 segué to more jazz, altho sounds a bit like an hymn. After some
CCI about Seattle, 0048 only jazz. Could it be CBCRadio 2? Generic
network sked shows starting at 8 pm local is: Saturday Night Jazz! But
that would put it no further west than the EDT zone, such as:
CBQ-FM 101.7 THUNDER BAY ON CAN VARIETY CBC RADIO 2 TORONTO 25.0 0.0
194.0 0.0 48-33-02 89-13-25
which fits in with the earlier opening from that area. There are no
CBC or anything likely jazzy listed in AB or SK. Uh oh, then checking
KREJ schedule
https://www.krejksns.org/krejschedule.php
we find `Gospel Jazz` Saturdays 7-10 pm CDT! Never mind Canada!

101.7 at 0043, sports talk about Seattle, NHL, CCI to KREJazz. Hockey
card day, whatever that be. Interview on phone. Could be a network
program anywhere, but this 99-watter is closest fit to Seattle:
K269HF relay of:KBBO 1390 101.7 YAKIMA WA USA SPORTS THE FAN 0.099
0.099 0.0 0.0 46-31-59 120-30-14 --- [2188 km = 1360 mi]

104.9 at 0046, CCI C&W and talk, KFC ad, UCORA.com, Powerball and:
Oklahoma Lottery. UCORA.com comes from Area Code 604, which is SW BC
around Vancouver. Thus a look at BC listings is called for:
CKKS-FM-2 CKKS-FM 88.1 104.9 VANCOUVER BC CAN HOT AC KISS RADIO 0.0
31.0 672.0 0.0 49-21-26 122-57-13 --- [2489 km = 1547 mi]

I stop there and move to SW to check for Saturday night pirates; see
NORTH AMERICA (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer check July 25 at 1357: Chinese on 13530, weaker
13160, 13020; 12880 JBA carrier; 12500 S9 music and talk until
timesignal to 1400* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CONGO. 6115, Sunday July 25 at 0613, JBA carrier presumed R. Congo.
I was with BFO listening for it to cut on before 0600, but nothing by
when I quit until recheck.

Oh2, here`s something else on 6115 per ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain,
Log in Friol: GERMANY, 6115, Radio Mi Amigo, Kall Krekel, on air today
25-07 earlier than 0420 UT, when the signing on usual time of this
station is 0700. Pop songs, ID "Radio MI Amigo", "Mi Amigo". 34433.
Good chance to hear it in America right now. Here, in the North West
of Spain at 0445 improving signal, SINPO 45444. Very nice music``.
However, Harold Frodge in MI and Walt Salmaniw, BC were not hearing a
bit of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, July 24 at 0636, RHC English on humbuzzy transmitter
back here instead of 6060 which is off along with 6000, while 6165 is
on and nominal. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, July 24 at 1259, RHC frequency announcement far out of
date, claiming to be on 9650, etc. At least no spurs today on 13 MHz.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, July 25 at 0605, RHC in wrong language, news in Spanish
instead of English; only 6165 in English; 6000 & 5040 off; 6060 JBA
carrier, what else if not Cuba? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KUWAIT. 15514.706 & 15530: July 24 at 0510, Paul Walker in AK
reported R. Kuwait on 15515 in English instead of Arabic. I check at
0519, RK in Arabic, but that`s just Qur`an, then English version and
soon song in English. Tuned via UTwente, it`s 15514.706 and very
distorted S9. Much clearer English but somewhat distorted still, on
15530 S9+25, which is also splattering between 15500 and 15560. But
15514.706 would be a separate transmitter and not a spur of 15530.
0530 ID as 963 MW, 96.3 FM, 11970 [sic, only!] for S&SE Asia, then
show ``The Noble Women of Islam`` with plenty of PBUH`s. Allah`ll get
`em unless they add that every time Mohamed be mentioned. Are any
other mere mortals eligible for such kind wishes?

This is part of a long series about Islam, with music bits, until 0544
back to pop/rock music. A song in English starts at 0558 and keeps
going across ToH until 0602 anti-fire PSA, be careful with kitchen
appliances; more music until abrupt cut at 0606 to join news in
progress! about Cyprus, 6.7 earthquake near Luzon, etc. Weather:
today`s high 49! And it`s now 41 (= F 120 and 106 degrees). 0611 back
to Western pop/rock music; 0619 ``greatest hits of all time station``,
so plugged into a US syndicator? COVID-19 PSA much like heard on Voice
of Turkey; 0610 ``Can`t Take My Eyes Off of You`` song, more music
until 0628 tune-out from UTwente. As expected, checked direct at 0632,
no trace of either signal into OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. Spurred by a ~98 MHz sporadic E MUF patch circa
halfway between OK and Yucatán, I starting FM DXing from the car in
garage July 24 at 1727, times always UT: tuning upward, nothing
unusual until 95.3, Some Spanish music CCI to KOKC OKC translator.
Also at 1732 with a .mx website. Also at 1747 Mexmx and hyper DJ; 1758
Spanish music CCI but gone by 1800. Too many possibilities without
something more definite, but if it be Yucatán or Quintana Roo, there
are:
XHMH-FM AM 970 95.3 MÉRIDA YUC MEX Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN CANDELA FM
25.0 25.0 107.0 107.0 20-57-58 89-37-27 --- [1893 km = 1176 mi]

XHROO-FM 95.3 CHETUMAL QROO MEX Spanish Top 40 - SPANISH/ENGLISH KISS
FM 9.24 9.24 106.0 106.0 18-31-19 88-17-19 --- [2200 km = 1367 mi]
But then I have a definite Q.R. on 97.5 below, so XHROO more likely

97.3 at 1728, Mexican political PSA with rapid disclaimer tag;
mentions ``NCN`` or something similar which does not lead to any ID.
At 1733, timecheck for 12:33 so is on UT -5 = CDT = HCM de verano,
i.e. most of México. Or it could be Quintana Roo, which stays on UT -5
= EST yearound. Adstring and I think an ID in passing but faded. 1734
another TC, for 12:34, ads; 1738 CCI from another Mexican with music.

93.7 at 1736, Spanish with a caller overrides KSPI Stillwater OK; 1750
Mexmx CCI. Too many possibilities.

93.1 at 1737, Mexmx CCI to Kansas; and 1751 Spanish inviting contacts
from either side of the border; so on the border? Maybe:
XHAAA-FM 93.1 REYNOSA TAMPS MEX Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN LA CALIENTE

Caliente XHAAA - LA Caliente - Song/Artist [1147 km = 712 mi]

94.1 at 1741, Mexmx, ``control remoto``, ``La Caliente 94.1``. CCI
from other Spanish music. This is the only Caliente, and none spelt
Kaliente; BTW no $ tereo heard and no icon, so maybe really mono since
it`s relaying an AM station. [Which raises the question, in USA, is it
kosher for an FM translator of a mono AM station to be $ tereo?]:
XET-FM relay of:AM 1450 94.1 MONTERREY NL MEX Spanish GRUPERA LA

97.5 at 1745, Spanish, ``Máxima FM``, 1736 ``Número Uno, Máxima FM``.
Searching the WTFDA FMDB on maxima: no hits without the accent even
tho accents do not appear on the slogan search field; and lower case
is autoconverted to upper. But this is it:
XHCAN-FM 97.5 CANCÚN QROO MEX HD Spanish CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO

At 1800 I suspend as lunch awaits and also need to check web for WOR
on IRRS. Resume at 1828, not much DX left but:

92.1 at 1830, Spanish CCI to KRMP OKC translator.

93.7 at 1832, again Spanish CCI to KSPI Stillwater.

At 1842 I try changing from the car with vertical antenna only to
south-facing porch, 96+ in the shade, with DX-398, with manipulable
whip, but no DX:

95.3 at 1848, English rock CCI to KOKC translator: then Wichita Falls
ad, so I now know what else might show on groundwave? There are no TX
stations very close to WF, but KMGZ Lawton is the only other 95.3
OKie, only 14/14 kW. In TV terms, Lawton-Wichita Falls are a single
bi-state market (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, July 25 at 0057, S9 reggae music, bet it`s
Wolverine Radio: yes, 2-word ID right at ToH 0100. Many more logs here
with extensive playlists and SSTV images:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,84312.0.html
including at ``0056 UTC "Waiting In Vain"-Bob Marley & The Wailers``.
Keyword theme this time is songs with ``In`` in the title!

6935-AM, July 25 at 0058, weak S6 music, 0102 unreadable announcement
maybe including ``form``, more music. Many logs here as Black Star
Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,84317.0.html

6974.9-AM, July 25 at 0059, JBA music presumed Nowhere Radio which
seems to be on almost every night; more unID logs until finally
someone got the ID:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,84313.0.html
Also JBA carrier on 6970, maybe Fox ``news`` relay as before.

6954.98-USB, July 25 at 0103, S9 distorted music, just came on, not
before 0100; 0106-0106.5 pause which would have been just right for a
full ID, but silence until blues music resume. Some ``6955`` logs
including very fuzzy SSTV images with ID as Outhouse Radio:

Skedgrid has also been changed to show that. `SW Radiogram` still

** U S A [and non]. Some more high MUFs above the FM band get me back
into the baking car for sporadic E DX, July 24 at 2205 UT, after
setting up the box fan in the back seat to at least keep the hot air
moving. The Es patches are generally too close but with that much
activity, some is likely to bleed into here. And indeed a lot of
`open` channels have CCI from more than one DX station.

See also CANADA [and non], MEXICO [and non], for separate Es openings

¿¿WHAT is Hodag?? ``In American folklore, the hodag is a fearsome
critter resembling a large bull-horned carnivore with a row of thick
curved spines down its back. The hodag was said to be born from the
ashes of cremated oxen, as the incarnation of the accumulation of
abuse the animals had suffered at the hands of their masters. The
history of the hodag is strongly tied to the City of Rhinelander where
it was claimed to have been discovered. The hodag has figured
prominently in early Paul Bunyan stories. --- Wikipedia``

99.1 at 2219, rock with ACI, CCI. Normally nothing heard locally.

UNIDENTIFIED. 13570, July 25 at 1401, S7-S9 carrier with some flutter,
possibly trace of modulation. EiBi and Aoki show nothing after China
until 1300 or before RFA/MRA from 1600. But recall that 13570 was a
frequency registered for WLCR via WBCQ. Now that the 500 kW is broken,
which could operate only on 9330, possibly WBCQ could attain this
frequency with a more flexible ``classic`` transmitter? Or WLCR might
activate it from some other relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Monique. Opens and closes with YROT theme, but after a brief intro
it`s nothing but the guest DJ, who has an exaggerated style and often
finishes remarx with ``Oh, Babeh`` or something like that. I never
could copy his name mentioned two or three times, but he was also with
the original pirate station in the last century. A special show
especially for America, so he will tell us what Europeans like and do
not like about US. First tune is Dancing Queen, ABBA. Later thanks
*Terry*, not Cap`n Ric, for arranging this. 1500 Dutch words are in
American English, starting with Yankee. 0214 don`t like: Americans are
non-social, racism, poverty, crazy cowboy gun laws; no one in Europe

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat July 24 at 0003, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`:
he says not on 3265, but on 4790, 6160, 7490 tonight. I think 3265 has
been gone for several days; will that turn into months again? Olympic
opening ceremonies are my main attention, so I am not listening
closely but let it run. Quite a bit of talk about vaccinations. Allan
respects and gets them, Angela grudgingly and suspiciously. He was
about to update us on the SuperStition but a phone call interrupted,
and I never heard him get back to that. I saw a report somewhere that
9330 is running the big antenna from an old transmitter, altho I also
recall that AW said when it started that that combo would be
incompatible.

0037 Tim calls again this week, antivax stuff, refers to Alex Jones;
he axually believes COVID vax cause abortions, autism, have mercury
and aluminum in them. He gets 5 minutes this time before Allan manages
to cut him off. 0044 a parody history lesson, and how inventions of
beer and the wheel led to everything else in civilization. Also a
put-down of Liberals vs conservatives. 0053 a caller points out that
Brother Stair was a pedophile and there is video evidence; which Allan
rejects as his good friend was never convicted. Not much e-mail, but
prayer runs 3 minutes over into Hal Turner time. Here is John Carver`s
version:

``Tonight's AAWWW started on time on 7490. 6160 was running something
else for a few minutes. Allan says they're broadcasting on 4790, 6160
and 7490. Opening talk about how hot Angela is and then into the
gardening work she's been doing around the station and the areas she's
cleaning up. Allan says she has uncovered some junk cars that he will
have to get out of there and then tells us it's nearly the law that
every home in Maine have at least two junk cars somewhere on the
property. Then talk of TV cameras and comparison to the camera's in
dumbphones. Phone call at 0017 from Freddie to get the new frequency
as he didn't write it down last week. Phone call at 0021 from Canada
asking about the new frequency. Then back to dumbphones as the main
topic of conversation and then a jump to vaccines. Phone call at 0036
from Tim talking about covid vaccine reactions.

At 0044 he reads a political piece presented as humor about beer and
the wheel. Phone call at 0051 goes on attack about the guy behind WLC
and Allan gets upset. Then the guy jumps on Allan about backing
Brother Stair. Angela is urging him to hang up on the guy but Allan
lets the guy have it and tells him to remain civil and explains to the
caller and then after the call that anyone can contact the station to
state they don't agree with Allan's policies and as long as they
remain civil Allan says he welcomes the calls. Phone rings again
immediately and it's Tim again getting wound up to complain about
things and Allan quickly gets him off the phone. Very brief reading of
one email at 0058. Quick closing prayer at 0102 and then into Hal
Turner at 0103. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

this Wednesday, JB audible S3 via Campo SDR, the only Brazilian online
today; 1514 ID, 1520 & still past 1526, but off by 1541 recheck.
Meanwhile, not getting it at all were Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and
Iceland Kiwis. Off circa 1530 is sometimes normal but nominally 11-13
Arg. time = 14-16 UT; Manuel Méndez, Spain, notified me at 1451,
``Hola Glenn, me informan de Base Esperanza que están con tormenta de

Esperanza Base informs me they have a storm with 80-knot winds and
signal might be cut off at any moment`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4748 & 4783 approx., July 21 at 0150, weak scratchy spurblobs
minus/plus 17-18 kHz out of 4765 R. Progreso, which is active
0030-0400 only. Seems no one else reports these; no one cares about
spectrum pollution from Cuba? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba.
Lower one also QRMs CODAR, but new 4790 WBCQ barely lux out, far
enough away (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6974.9, July 21 at 0125, JBA music, presumed Nowhere

UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, July 21 at 0126, JBA carrier still here
maybe from Caribbean region. Never any modulation nor AFAIK as heard
by anyone else. Wonder if ROCV Venezuela, gone from 6205 and ex-6906
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5151.0, July 21 at 0127, another JBA carrier to intrigue
us. Not likely related to WTWW 5085 spurs which inhabit 5072 & 5098
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6885, July 21 at 0027, JBA carrier suspect NAm pirate as
a pirate frequency previously; but still at 0124, 0153, 0559! So
likely something else. HFU has no reports on 6885 at this time, since
July 18 in the daytime, a Radio Pushka heard via remote in NM (Glenn
