** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Oct 10 at 1715, continuing previous
report of LRA36 Saturday special, still going with improved signal via

into *German*; 1719 commemorating 40th anniversary; long string of
English fonetix, spelling out contact info including
yankee-alfa-hotel-oskar-oskar; old off-air recording; ``Antártida``
song; 1722 full IDs in Spanish, German: English saying this broadcast
is in Spanish, huh? 1745 back really into Spanish, speech about
Patagonia, and music, Pat songs; 1758 plug this as the Wednesday 11-13
`Corazón Antártico` show; mostly songs after 1800; 1814 ID and Rio
Gallegos song; cut off the air by 1821 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIA? 4940, Oct 11 at 0022, tropical music S5-S7 direct from
anonymous mystery missionary station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 4765, Oct 11 at 0023, R. Progreso is on already with S9+30 of
dead air, presumed warmup for *0030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960, UT Sun Oct 11 at 0101, The Mighty farty
KBC, Giant Jukebox with Uncle Eric is playing ``Jump``, no doubt a

```OETA Announces New 24/7 Livestream
by Aaron Morvan • Published on October 5, 2020 • Last modified on
October 7, 2020 OETA Livestream PRESSROOM
Free Digital Option for Watching OETA
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – The Oklahoma Educational Television
Authority (OETA) has launched a free 24/7 livestream of its primary
channel across OETA and PBS digital platforms.
“As Oklahoma’s statewide public television station, it is our
responsibility to bring informative, educational and inspirational
content to all Oklahomans,” says Polly Anderson, executive director..
“Livestreaming our content allows us to reach a wider audience; such
as those without access to a reliable broadcast signal and
cord-cutters. We’re proud to launch this new feature as OETA prepares
to host Stephanie Bice and Kendra Horn in a debate Thursday, October 8
at 7 p.m., and in anticipation of the all-new format of The Oklahoma
News Report Friday, October 16 at 7 p.m. I encourage all Oklahomans to
take advantage of this free service by downloading the free PBS app.”
The new livestream mirrors OETA’s primary channel—featuring children’s
programming from 6 a.m.–5 p.m. followed by fan-favorites like Antiques
Roadshow, NOVA, PBS NewsHour, and The Oklahoma News Report. Viewers
can access the livestream at OETA.tv/live or through the PBS app for
Android and Apple devices, ROKU, Amazon Fire tablets, iOS, tvOS and
Chromecast. Viewers do not need to be Passport members or have a
PBS.org account to enjoy the benefits of this free service.```
You may also reach program schedules for all four channels and display
them in any timezone from Eastern to Chamorro. Chamorro?? Ex-Guam,
ChST, always UT+10, now inclusive of the NMI. Further:
``The Oklahoma News Report Celebrates 40 Years with a New Format
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – This October marks many new beginnings for
the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA). Not only do
several big dramas hit the small screen, but the station celebrates
the fortieth anniversary and debuts an all-new format of its news and
current affairs program, The Oklahoma News Report.
Starting Friday, October 16 at 7 p.m., The Oklahoma News Report
expands its weekly newscast, which Oklahomans know and trust, from a
half-hour to a full hour. In addition to its regular reporting, the
new format features a panel discussion composed of the state’s top
thought leaders, journalists and investigative reporters. The program
will also launch a new logo, graphics and set. For more information
about The Oklahoma News Report, visit OETA.tv/pressroom.``
For many years the ONR was 5-nightly half hour, but a drastic reduxion
a few years ago to only one semihour per week. Now at least that is
being doubled; on the original airing UT Saturdays at 0000, bumping
aside `Washington Week In Review` to 0100, with the 0130 slot filled
by a prepeat of `Firing Line` with the cute but Republican Margaret
Hoover, descendant of Herbert, who always worx in a clip of original
William F Buckley despite disclaimers that this FL has nothing to do
with the previous show, which IIRC did air in that same Friday evening
slot (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sun Oct 11 0100-0200, `Encore` VG via
WRMI, best time to hear it on only beam thisaway, also weaker 5010 to
south. Great classical music movements I was going to summarize from
playlist, but both of them are from last two weeks, not yet this:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, Sat Oct 10 at 2208, VOT English? Nothing but heavy
RTTY direct, and shortly no VOT into UTwente either, another missed
opportunity as something`s always erroneous at Emirler. I wonder if
any further Wed/Sat `Letterboxes` have been produced since last heard
sometime in August (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 395-MCW kHz, Oct 11 at 0040, NDB ULS, which is 25 watts from
Ulysses KS; surprisingly good signal, maybe sunsetskip enhanced?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5202.0-USB, UT Sun Oct 11 at 0035, S9+, Foxtrot unable to
copy somebody; AAR6EM replies about copying AAR6UK, i.e. an Army MARS
net; seems the are only setting up for digibursts, rather than
engaging in genuine human voice contacts. From UDXF iog logs, I gather
that 5202 is also an active Russian military frequency (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2055 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
October 10 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+10 at UTwenre.

** U S A. 7489.99, Oct 11 at 0019, WBCQ back on the minus side with
`AAAWWW` playback from last night, politix; but NO signal on 6159.93v
where Area 51/61 should be, nor of course suspended 5130. Still no
6159.93v at 0157 check. What had been scheduled in EDT = UT -4:

``You can listen to us on the internet at splatterbox.us ``
Not heard when I checked 5130, but then I see Area 51 `Lumpy Gravy`
show was widely heard on 5130-USB around 0030, via Sycko Radio, per
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,72762.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7505, Oct 10 at 2210, surprise, WRNO is on already, S9+10
with screaming gospel huxter in English; also Oct 11 at 0024 check but
now gospel huxtress is just barely modulated. Has long been registered
available 22-16 UT on 7505, so can easily expand beyond curtailed
01-04 only until crash in June; they have a lot of lost time to make
up for. Furthermore, altho never used for many years, also registered
16-22 UT on 15590, both 50 kW at 20 degrees into western Ontario; so
keep an ear on that imaginary one too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Oct 11 at 0020, WTWW-2 still ham news, but by
0032, `TOUTA` has started, S9+45! but distorted, what a shame. Also
with JBA parasitic spurs plus/minus 13 kHz. Anyhow at 0039 before I
give up, I recognize Bob Heil`s comment about a Hammond Organ he
built, so this is a rerun. Not handy to switch to webfeed for pristine
$ tereo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5043.2 & 5056.8, Oct 11 at 0021, never heard before JBA
parasitic spurs matching 6.8 kHz plus/minus out of 5050.0 WWRB, which
is S9+40, extremely lo-fi and splatter QRM to the spurs; 0108 check,
5050 still on, but spurs are gone. Say, how about Dave`s BEACON?
475.2-MCW kHz, Oct 11 at 0038, WA4SZE beacon at WWRB TN site is indeed
JBA with extremely slow CW ID. I know that other hams were complaining
long ago about this eating up so much of the 7-kHz-wide 630-m band
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1539.95 approx., Oct 11 at 0055 UT, TexMexmx, then mention
of ``Canal 57.5 - Houston``; Biden and other political ads in English
while music still plays. Not sure which is from the off-frequency,
which is surely KGBC Galveston TX, vs KEDA San Antonio. Virtual
Channel 57.5 in Houston = the fifth of six virtuals of KUBE RF 41
Baytown TX megawatt, ``Viene``, per W9WI.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VENEZUELA. 6906.08-CUSB, Oct 11 at 0029 direct, VP S5 Spanish and
music, i.e. 93.7 relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 539.95 approx., Oct 11 at 0040, het upon 540 stations.
Nicaragua has been reported off-minus; mwoffsets shows:
539.860 NCG Radio Corporación (Managua/Tipitata) 0900-0600 2020-03-11
539.973 MEX XEWA Los 40 (San Luis Potosí) 24h 2020-03-11
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carriers, this time not a thoro
search in 9-kHz steps, but obvious hets upon 10-kHz stations, Oct 11
at 0047: 621, 711, 891 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
