I was looking for the Ducie Island DX-pedition, reported by Andy
Robins on 14195 USB but that was 52 hours ago, nothing now:

``VP6A, a DXpedition on Ducie Island, east of Pitcairn Island, 14195
kHz USB, is coming in pretty well at 0110 UTC on 17 June 2023 here in
southwest Michigan. This is a very tiny island. A coral atoll,
basically. Unfortunately for me, this is below the General portion of
20 meters. 73, Andy Robins KE8TEN, Kalamazoo, Michigan USA``

Remember when Belize, née British Honduras, was VP1?

Back to June 11 the rest:
88.9 at 2343, ad in English with CCI in French. Ad should mean non-US

Note the lack of a CB- non-Chilean call for a CBC station, which
maintains original private callsign

92.9 at 2318, French Canadian YLs discuss pop music, movies with
English term ``thrillers``. CCI to KKXL. Has to be only, near ND:

RADIO-CANADA PREMIERE 15.3 168.0 44-46-10 79-59-24 1774/1102
tho double hop from far Québec is remotely possible, think I have

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2195 monitoring: missed checking
Sunday June 18 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz. Did anyone
hear it? Yes!

``Heard you in the MW band! Yesterday local night I have heard you in
the medium wave band while crawling the MW band. To be short, I just
give you the reception log and the video. 1323, Glenn Hauser’s WOR
program on 2003 after a mysterious ID of CJBK 1290 with interesting
catches of DX news and logs from the previous (?) week. Video
https://youtu.be/xAUlQPpj3kU
using the ICOM R75 with 2x16 Λ antenna and S5 at best. The signal was
faded out before 2030 so I could not hear any ID. The mwlist site
shows IRRS Italy as the only possible station in the band at 5/1 kW. I
can suppose this is only 1 kW. Hope that this info may be interesting
to you. 73s Zacharias Liangas, Greece``

Also confirmed NEW time of Sunday June 18 at 2130 on WRMI 15770, S7/S9
into UTwente, propagating today unlike yesterday.

Also confirmed UT Monday June 19 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/9+10 into
Louisiana SDR, starting with external noise burst override during
first 14 seconds.

Also confirmed UT Monday June 19 at 0300 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160 - 68 Hz
= 6159.932, S7/S9+5 into Maryland SDR. Preceding program, not JL this
week, seemed to be chopped off at 0300 sharp for ID and WOR. Next:

** U S A. 15150.00, June 19 at 0556, surprise, gospel huxter in
English about ``Yashua`` sp? stuff, VG S9+20/30, SSOB by far above
15720 NZ, 15770 WRMI. It`s loud but modulation a bit rough. No ID
circa ToH 0600; says ``10 years ago it was 1969``. Says he is 44 years
old now, and speculates whether he would be alive ten years plus,
certainly not by age 100. Got to be DEJOM [deceased Elder Jacob O.
Meyer] on WMLK, until now active only, sometimes on 9275 afternoons.
WMLK has been registering 15150 for several years overnight, but first
time I`ve ever heard this, nor anyone? Still going at 0630 but
weakening to S6/S9. Of course summer is the only feasible season for
such overnight propagation to Europe. HFCC A23:

WMLK website linx on WOR Hitlist do not work. Disgraced FB does, but
nothing there since Feb 7! From FB link to this website does work:
https://wmlkradio.com/
but only presents lengthy audio of six sermons, four by DEJOM, one by
current honcho Elder Jonathan S. Meyer, and one by Elder Nathaniel A.
Meyer, all no doubt of the family business. PDF of Program Guide
linked is very outdated, 10/2015. So is 15150 a test, or to stay in
use? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Finally in my spare? time after a full week, I
have completed compiling and researching my sporadic E FM DX openings
on Sunday June 11, into UT Monday June 12. Partly on caradio, partly
on DX-398 inside. There was considerable overlap from different PTAs:
probable target areas. From GA/SC/NC/VA/MD/KY; OH/WV/ON/MI/WI;
MN/MB/ND/SK/MT. Also included are nearby OK logs encountered along the
way.

Es FM DX: gotta take it whenever it decide to happen! In the not too
hot garage, on the Nissan Sentra 2004 stock caradio with fender
vertical antenna only, so no antenna manipulation but disfavoring any
horizontal-only stations, if any; all logs in real time with my own
ears, one frequency at a time, no RDS capability, no recording, no
internet for stream comparisons; but research later from my scribbled
notes, mainly the excellent WTFDA FM Database, also in general
searching if needed.

All times strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP
and antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz
and vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from distancefromto.net.
Showing distance does not necessarily make a log more definite, but
FYI.

I do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not, and
am not in a competition. Each DX log I view as a potential learning
experience. Clarifications, correxions welcome.

JUNE 11:
92.1 at 1742 UT, Braves baseball. NRC DX News April 11 had MLB
affiliate lists and linx to own websites, which show three
possibilities: WKUL Cullman AL, which seems too close judging from PTA
to follow; WBTR in Carrolton, western GA; and most likely in east
central GA:
WPEH-FM 92.1 LOUISVILLE GA COUNTRY THE PEACH 6.0 91.0 33-00-48
82-23-33 // WPEH-1420 -- furthermore, today`s game vs Washington
Nationals which has no 92.1 stations. 1462 km/908 stmi

93.3 at 1743, CCI to OKC, 1755 rap. Not too far from definite 92.1
WMYB next is the only 93.3 full power in SC, and format chex:

97.3 at 1802, soft rock/rap, CCI but nothing much more.

At 1816 I suspend; 1925 I resume, but still nothing by 1943; suspend
again.

Above on caradio, but I resume reclining in house with the DX-398
instead. Disadvantage: less sensitive; less selective, harder to DX on
first adjacent frequencies. Advantages: tunes in 0.5 MHz steps, good
for ACI avoidance; telescopic antenna may be manipulated to fight QRM,
benefit from maximum DX angles, unlike fixed vertical antenna oncar.
And has RDS!

93.1 at 2058, country with Es fades, not the KS fringer. 2116, ``New
Country``, the only fit meaning a separated opening, i.e.::
WDRQ 93.1 DETROIT MI HD COUNTRY NEW COUNTRY 93.1 26.5 204.0 42-28-16
83-12-03 5E5E New Country 93-1 Artist/Title 1433/890

94.5 at 2102, Fox ``news``, 2105 weather, ``News-talk 94.5 WPTI``;
2120 far-right talk:

91.9 at 2107, NPR about 2 seconds behind 91.7 KOSU. All SCs are

92.1 at 2109, rock and wish I could make out my scribble of the RDS!
But maybe momentary just about the music.

92.3 at 2118, Voice of Martyrs, gospel huxter show, then WYGE ID:

23.5 223.0 37-09-01 83-59-32 94A8 WYGE -FM - Religious Talk 1230/765

94.9 at 2121, rockish country, YL ID ``94.9 Star Country``; also at
2131, Roanoke ad, ``WFXR[?] Star Country``, must be this but calls no
match, no WFXR radio anywhere; rather Fox TV in Roanoke:
WSLC-FM 94.9 ROANOKE VA COUNTRY STAR COUNTRY 94.9 95.5 598.0 37-11-50
80-09-11 8550 949 STAR - Now Playing Title/Artist - 1597/992

93.9 at 2122, car race ranking to 36th. 2124, Bristol Motor Speedway
coverage, live? Still at 2139. Bristol is that town on the TN/VA
border but no 93.9s licensed to either and can`t find any nearby. BMS
may be a Big Deal, but how far away? No sports format in area nor KY,
NC. Maybe a diversion from another format. BMS has podcast ``radio``
but no stations listed. A mystery; ideas?

92.7 at 2125, ``Kentucky`s energy co-op``, singing ID as ``92.7``.
Most easterly KY and the others low-powered:
WCMI-FM 92.7 CATLETTSBURG KY ROCK 92.7 AND 98.5 THE PLANET 2.35 162.0
38-28-02 82-35-50 5B30 Rock //W253BB 98.5 1366/849

93.1 at 2128, country, ``The Wolf``; RDS icon but blank:
WPAW 93.1 WINSTON-SALEM NC HD COUNTRY 93.1 THE WOLF 99.0 99.0 335.0
335.0 36-16-33 79-56-26 7C5A The Wolf Artist/Title - on the Wolf
Country 1580/982

But if the opening be a bit broader, there`s another, weaker one:
WJEH-FM 93.1 RACINE OH COUNTRY 93.1 THE WOLF 4.1 122.0 38-56-56
82-03-02
Racine is a tiny town south of Athens OH but maps show it just barely
on the WV side of the Ohio River! 1432/890 as OH; there is another
Racine well inside WV

93.7 at 2129, praise song so certainly not KSPI OK: but no fit in the
KY/TN/NC/VA 4-state area. Maybe even further as in next logs

95.3 at 2132, love song overrides KOKC translator; no guesses

99.1 at 2133, static RDS: BLOOMBRG = 8-letter max, so dispense with
the E! Got to be this, between Baltimore and Washington DC:

WKTN 95.3 KENTON OH HOT AC 95.3 WKTN 3.5 84.0 40-38-41 83-33-59
1327/824
Kenton is east of Lima in west central OH, in neither AC. There are 3
other OH on 95.3. WKLM Millersburg and WLKR Norwalk are in neither.

Centerville OH, which is near Lebanon, both just south of Dayton, so:

96.5 at 2255, resuming I see LEGEND on the RDS. The only one in WTFDA

WWRK-AM 970 kHz, Florence, South Carolina, "Rock 94.1 - 97.9"
Station Format: Classic Rock,
https://thepeedeesrockstation.iheart.com/
must be this, the WWRK call really belonging to AM originator:

too many choices even narrowed down to current or recent PTAs:

101.5 at 2334, podcast plugs during talkshow, axually best tuned to
101.45. It`s // 100.9 KGWA Enid translator so a spur? or overload
image. Would expect a mixing product with AM 0.96 MHz like 99.94, but
if so, too close to 99.90 LPFM here.

88.9 at 2343, ad in English with CCI in French. Ad should mean non-US
in the NCE sub-band but these days you never know. Only FFC in range:

RADIO-CANADA PREMIERE 81.9 184.0 50-28-58 104-30-23 1653/1027
Note the lack of a CB- non-Chilean call for a CBC station, which
maintains original private callsign

88.1 at 2345, French Canadian also here, i.e.:

94.9 at 2350, ballad/love song; 2352 ``94.9 The Surf, the Sound of the
Beach``: Loris axually inland from Myrtle Beach in SC eastern point;
must be slow around there:

93.5 at 2357, Mexican music; 2358, ``El Patrón, 96.5`` -- everything
but frequency fits for this: possibly misheard seis for tres? There is
no 93.5/96.5 connexion to be found in NC, SC, nor anywhere:

UT JUNE 12:::

94.1 at 0003, rap. An hour ago had WRZE, SC but it`s Classic Rock.
0006 MUF drops.

88.1 at 0009, interview about music mentions South Carolina:

305.0 33-52-52 80-16-14 8276 WRJA 88.1 Public Radio News Talk

That concludes DXing on the DX-398. Much in need of some R&R, I quit
and probably miss some more until I resume in the car at 0243 UT June
12:

Not sure whence at first, unIDs unpursued:

93.1 at 0243 CCI to KS fringer; 92.9 at 0243 VG with rock.

90.9 at 0244 ancestry discussion about Edmond, and not //91.1 Enid.
Until now these two Air Ones have always been //, i.e. 90.9 is Edmond:
could it be breaking away for something local?!

97-29-10 3601 Title & Artist Air 1 Title & Artist Top 40 90/56
By 0253, 90.9 // 91.1 again.

88.9 at 0245, even stranger, sounds like the same discussion of Edmond
history as 90.9, the semi-local there being a KLOVE. With one radio I
can`t be positive they are //. Among the various other OK 88.9s and
90.9s, gospel huxters, I can`t find any relations -- a mystery:

101.3 at 0253, religious talk vs Wichita country

94.5 at 0316, The Peak, about a gym, Battery Warehouse, something
about AI affecting rock music. If Peak be name of a gym, there are in
Great Falls & Missoula MT, Brigham City UT. Battery Warehouse also in
Great Falls, among others:

Those were on the caradio. Now back inside for a few more on DX-398:

92.1 at 0325, iHeart promo back to Vegas event, in Sept? Could be
anywhere in nationwide promotion. CCI country

92.9 at 0331, ``92-9 The Edge`` by YL:

WHEW! I still have a minor FM DX opening June 14 to process, nothing
since as of June 19 at 1730. You may wonder why this is intermixed
with my SW and other bands DX. It is my subtle suggestion that there
is more to DXing than overspecialization (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

THE TINY TRAP

``This tiny island``, says Leslie Stahl at 2329 UT June 18 on a CBS
Sixty Minutes rerun, as she reports from TAIWAN! Compared to PRC,
maybe, but not in any absolute sense is Taiwan possibly Tiny -- just
ask the pope about such an honor (Glenn Hauser, OK, not a tiny state,
WOR)

This report dispatched at 1741 UT June 19
