** ARGENTINA [and non]. 10m is crammed with signals, Oct 12 at
2202-2209. Must be some contest and/or enhanced propagation, many of

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2264 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday October 12 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, VG direct. Not a problem,
but not caused by me, I`ve noticed that this airing starts with a few
words from a preacher before cut to WOR opening. Also as usual
followed by two minutes of music 0329-0331* turned off without ID or
sign/off announcement. Upon request, I sent WTWW a half-minute WOR

** U S A. 660, Oct 12 at 0644 UT, loud C&W, got to be KTNN Window Rock
AZ again on 50 kW ND day pattern despite WFAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 770, KKOB Albuquerque NM: Oct 12 at 0638 UT, trying to
confirm whether KKOB still be on the air following collapse of one of
two towers in the North Valley after balloon hit. ABQ news reports
said it would still be on air from one tower, despite a subject line
in one DX group, ``KKOB off the air``. I am hearing something in
English but can`t tell if KKOB, since it`s under Spanish, see MEXICO.
Typically in such a case, like KOKC or KAAY, gets STA to stay on at
night, ND but with lowered power.
However, at 0701 recheck, no Spanish, off? But ABC News which fits for
KKOB, per IRCA the only one on 770, and BTW, WABC runs Fox `news`, not
ABC! KKOB also has a 230-watt ND co-channel relay/booster in Santa Fe
only at night, filling in the null toward WABC; elsewhere very hard to
tell them apart unless ABQ be off or echoing, which they ought to
prevent. Walt Salmaniw found another story about this, originally AP:
https://www.timescolonist.com/the-mix/hot-air-balloon-strikes-and-collapses-radio-tower-in-albuquerque-during-festival-9649483
Similar one also in Enid News & Eagle.
4:48 audiovideo report by KOAT via Steve Whitt, MWC:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyzxeFc4LPo
This story says KKOB did go off the air, but would continue on FM.
KOAT exists due to a ``coats for the needy`` winter promotion (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 900 kHz, Oct 12 at 0646 UT, ID in passing as KHOZ,
C&W music. That`s in Harrison AR, U1 1000/62 watts, address on Radio
Avenue per NRC AM Log. More importantly, where`s XEW? Remember when it
owned 900 at night, 250 kW? IRCA Mexican Log 2024 says it`s 24h
100/100 kW still on AM; but current mwlist and consequently WRTH 2024
still claim 250 kW, and another Mex on 900, 10/2.5 kW, XEOK Amor
Monterrey, which is totally missing from IRCA Log (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
