** CUBA. 15230, June 30 at 0107, RHC is on at S8/S9 with modulation
breakup in English // 6000 at S9+20/30 with same breakup. 15230 is not
and never has been an intentional English frequency. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. 11760 & 11950 & 9700, June 30 at 0103, no signals
from RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 11830, June 30 at 0105, song with good signal
direct. Shouldn`t there be `news` this early in an hour? EiBi shows
CRI Spanish to S America at 2300-0300 via Kashgar, land of imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1020, June 30 at 2029 check, KOKP Perry is still off.
Must have had serious damage in June 26 windstorm (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1170, June 30 at 2030, KOTV-AM Tulsa: was to change calls
from KTSB and format from sports as of June 26 but not checked until
now vs high noise level: Oklahoma weather, then news by local anchors,
1936 more Oklawx. Sounds like it is ``News on 6`` subchannel of
KOTV[TV!]. Now that makes some sense, but is that it 24/7? (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5, June 30 at 0110, S9+20 of JBM praise music, and
also on 27224.9, the Enid CBer. Did not have a second receiver handy
until 0141 to reconfirm these are // 105.5 K-Love translator of 88.9.
Again June 30 at 0642, still going, undermodulated on both. And at
1448, JBM on 27184.5 and slightly stronger/louder on 27224.84, no
third frequency but why are there even two? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAO TOME. 15460, Sun June 30 at 1452, M&W in unID African language,
the SSOB, S9/+10 with little else on 19m, even WWCR 15825 weaker
direct, not yet sporadic-E boosted. 1458 into song until 1459*
chopoff. EiBi shows VOA in KNK Sat & Sun at 1430-1500; to be followed
daily from 1500 by VOA Hausa via Thailand! Odd site for W African
service, but I had already tuned out. KNK means KinyaRwanda-KiRundi.
NOTE! São Tomé site is slated for closure per Dan Robinson, as well as
Tinian, NMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 29 concluding previous log via UTwente:
2252 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, s/off ignoring SW, 2253 fragment
of IS and chopoff, no finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 10048 USB, June 30 at 0644, ATC contact giving ``secondary``
frequency of 6676, and selcall tones. Typically nothing on these most
of the time, but brief bursts of activity when needed. EiBi shows
10048 as San Francisco but transmitted via Barrow, Alaska, or
Moloka`i, Hawaii, 24 hours available. Only other 10048 is Tokyo Radio.
6676: supposedly VOLMET only, rotating: Australia, Kolkata, Mumbai,
Karachi, Singapore, Bangkok
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2249 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
June 29 at 2300 on WTWW 9474.982, S9 into UTwente but considerable ACI
from both sides 9470 & 9480. VG direct; into Lincoln NE SDR S9/+15 on
9474.981 calibrated with WWV.

** U S A. 15770, June 30 at 0107, WRMI in Thai, then English,
apparently a testimonial to The Supreme Master cult (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 1020, regarding KCKN Roswell NM, well audible at night in
the absence of Okie KOKP: it`s listed as 50/50 kW, different
direxional patterns day and night: but it seems to have been on STA
forever. Digging into FCC, normal patterns are very similar, lobes
NW/SE or NW/SSE, both with deep null toward KDKA, i.e. THISAWAY. We
should not be hearing much of it, if at all. One STA authorization
which expired earlier this year, was to use night pattern at day,
which should not make much difference here. Sounds to me like they are
really non-direxional, surely not aiming for KDKA, but not bothering
to protect it. Years ago opening up Clear channels for new 50 kW
stations in the West was contingent on protecting the legacy
easterners!
NRC DXTRA NEWS list of STAs updated to March 25: ``KCKN NM Roswell –
STA for U4 30000/50000, night pattern 24 hours (expires 2024-07-01).``
So something may be about to change (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, June 30 at 0105, AM carrier probably RHC on 2 x
6000, but intermittent talk on USB, maybe Spanish, 2-way riding it
conveniently? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
