** CANADA. Hearing a number of dashing beacons again, a sign of
autumn? Or local line noise and storm noise levels have lessened, Aug
5 at 0634-0644 UT bandscan as well as a few USAns, q.v.:
248-MCW, WG, Winnipeg MB, 1000 watts
332-MCW, QT, Thunder Bay ON, 1000 watts, atop IC Wichita
335-MCW, YLD, Chapleau ON, 1000 watts
346-MCW, YXL, Sioux Lookout ON, 500 watts
362-MCW, SB, Greater Sudbury ON, 500 watts
Axually logged in reverse order downward. As looked up at
https://dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm
where William Hepburn has flagged a number of beacons in red as ``To
Be Decommissioned 2021-08-12``! I pick them out: hurry up to DX them:

First number after the town is watts power, then geo coordinates. If
there be some significance to which ones are in CAPS or not, I don`t
know what. Currently there are no other advance-of-date decomm notices
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 13530 & 12880, Aug 5 at 1422, only CNR1 jammers in the 10-11
& 12-13 MHz areas are these, both S9/+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 5009.934 to 5009.917, Aug 5 at 0319, JBA carrier
measured with carrier offset fluxuating minus 66 to 83 Hz, per
Knoxville SDR in SAM mode, as I check for absent WRMI. RNM is
habitually offset-minus around this area, and should have been better
an hour earlier, if WRMI-14 were still off then rather than nominal
0300* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, Aug 5 at 0637 check, 25-watt NDB in Ponca
City, PN, is off. Seems it comes and goes quite unpredictably, rather
than long absences (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 100.3, Aug 5 at 0057 UT, sporadic E FM DX check with some
high MUFs out there and some others DXing Okies not too far from me:
but only unusual I get on the caradio is some very weak Mexmx and
Spanish on this frequency. It is not fading much which is unlike Es
but also unlike typical fringe-area groundwave. Are there any SS
around here? Yes!
KCXR 100.3 TAFT OK USA Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN QUE BUENA TULSA 104.9
& 100.3 4.0 4.0 125.0 125.0 35-48-42 95-34-11
Taft is an insignificant town of 250 just west of Muskogee, not Tulsa.
The 104.9 is you guessed it a Tulsa translator, K285GW, but the WTFDA
db says it relays KXTD-1530, nor KCXR. And KCXR is not shown as
relaying anything. Or are all three really the same How-Good? The only
SS 100.3 in KS is a religious 100-watter way out in Ulysses, KQUI,
``cocky``? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** U S A. Some ND beacons reaudible with lessened storm and line
noise, besides some much further and stronger Canadians, q.v., Aug 5
at 0634-0641 UT:
417-MCW kHz, IY, Charles City IA, 25 watts
407-MCW kHz, HRU, Herington KS, 25 watts
395-MCW kHz, CA, Newton/Harvs KS, 25 watts
329-MCW kHz, PMV, Plattsmouth NE, 25 watts
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2097 monitoring: slept thru Wed Aug 4 at 1030
on WRMI 5850; was it on air this week? And also missed checking the
Wed Aug 4 at 2100 airings on WRMI 7780 and WBCQ 7489.9v; did anyone
hear them? I do check for the UT Thu Aug 5 at 0130 on WRMI 5010 ---
but it`s off the air! checked both at Bonaire and Knoxville. Also off
is 7570 while all other WRMIs are on, but 7730 is JBM. 7570 is still
TOMBSless, off at 0632.
