** CUBA. 4765, Sept 1 at 0207, R. Progreso is off while 5025, R.

only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ECUADOR [non]. 6050, Sept 1 at 0638, JBA carrier, presumably

Grimesland like there was last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5920, Sept 1 at 0206, the night frequency of WTWW 9930 is on
again, but 5085, the night frequency of 9475, is not. Then early UT
Sept 1, George McClintock sends 5 photos captioned:
``WTWW glass capacitor -- first picture is a bypass capacitor in the
#2 driver stage put there by a previous person. The capacitor should
be an RF Glass cap. The German engineer found this when inspecting the
#2 transmitter. 2nd pix is the glass replacement. 3rd, glass in place
in the #2 transmitter`` and:
``WTWW: #1 transmitter freq. change -- first pix is the bad capacitor
in the #1 transmitter that prevented it from changing frequencies. A
new capacitor was put in. Works fine now. 2nd pix shows the wrong
spacing for the motor to the capacitor.
Spacers were put in which made the frequency change work better.
George McClintock 8-31-2024`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Re deadair 91.5 KSNS and unheard 101.7 KREJ, Medicine Lodge
KS, being owned by ``Florida Public Radio``, this is not an error. It
so happens that this FPR is a PRIVATE gospel-huxtering group, forcing
the *REAL* PUBLIC RADIO stations in FL to aggroupize themselves as
Florida Public MEDIA! And the KSNS/KREJ connexion in KS goes wayback
per noncomradio.net, the website reached by search on Florida Public
Radio, listing among its O&O stations, KREJ since Sept 1990, and KSNS
since May 2000. They also have a couple in Iowa. Shows different ex
post facto slogan for KREJ was or is: ``Kansas Radio Exhalting
Jesus`` FPR HQ is WPIO 89.3 Titusville. Has one KS or the other
axually been a satellite relay of WPIO all these years? After all,
WPIO means ``We Pass It On``. If FPR is the real owner of the KS
stations, why is the KS widow wanting to sell them? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 100.3, caradio still tuned where I got Iowa earlier today,
at first nothing, but as I move the car slightly, I begin to hear some
station, Aug 31 at 2332 UT, soon non-ID as ``100.3 Jack FM``. Unless
it`s a 200-watt translator in AZ, WTFDA FMDB shows this is: ``KJKK
100.3 DALLAS TX 97.0 kW 574.2 m 32-35-02 96-57-48 HD 28D2 JACK~ FM -
Song/Title Song/Artist Adult Hits 100.3 JACK FM 63779`` - another bit
of extended groundwave in the 400+ km range. Last heard on May 6,
2023, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Sept 1 at 0640, R. Vanuatu is on with music, S7/S8
direct. But Ron Howard and Tony Rogers report that at 0658/0659 it
switched to 3945. Presumably its harmonix of 7890, 11835, even 15780
are still suppressed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 630.03 approx., Sept 1 at 0645, LAH against 630.00
stations, not the 631 het from Cuba. Nothing in mwoffsets from USA
higher than 630.0033 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1390, Sept 1 at 0658 UT, KCRC Enid again providing
deadair. This time I try nulling very strong signal on the DX-398, and
can hear at least 3 othersigs mixing, talk and music, but can`t ID
anything as I am falling asleep until 0720. There are 1390s in
adjacent states AR, KS, NM, TX, and many more beyond mostly
low-powered at night. One still with 5 kW is WGRB Chicago but tightly
direxional northwards. Sibling 1640 KZLS also DA again, but always
much weaker in town and other 1640 station(s) audible without really
trying (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
