** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Signs of sporadic E into FM band on DXMAPs, so
out to the car to check. Once again, none of that reaching here, but
there is tropo from as far as Shreveport. Major Tulsa stations such as
96.5 are in like locals, and some weaker ones not normally heard like
102.3 KRMG can also make it. In fact there is a huge, heavy and
growing tropo blob over east TX, most of LA, AR and much of OK.
Standard introduxion applies. UT Thursday June 29:

99.3 at 0206, after Fox ``news``, ``southwest Oklahoma``, from ``KCLI

instead of usual KLOR Ponca City, I`m getting FM side of off-frequency

92.3 at 0210, still 0212, 0228 when I suspend, DEAD AIR in $ tereo.
Believe a few minutes earlier I had the usual Fox/talker fringer:

368.0 36-16-23 99-26-45 323E - 136/85
93.9 at 0213, ad for Texarkana Glass, into religiousy talk; also
mentioned Oklahoma. The trouble is, there is no 93.9 in Texarkana
TX/AR, nor anywhere near in the quadristate area AR/LA/OK, but closest
is this one in NE TX, 140 km = 87 miles away:
KOYN 93.9 PARIS TX COUNTRY 50.0 150.0 33-49-36 95-27-49 3775 Title &
Artist KOYN 93.9 Country 370/230
Texarkana Glass specializes in auto glass repair, apparently has no
locations outside Texarkana TX except maybe Genoa AR just east of
there. On my ND vertical antenna, this has totally captured 93.9 from
normal semilocal KIMY Watonga OK.
101.3 at 0220, instead of Wichita, VG with Lawton OK ad, also for TX
Dept of Criminal Justice, MacKenzie Automotive, 238-2024; 0225,
