** BRAZIL. 9665.11, July 26 at 0114, JBA carrier, and nothing on the
minus side. Presume R. Voz Missionária has now slid up to the plus
side. Nothing much else propagating from ZY-land on 9 or 11 MHz (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1120, July 26 at 0124 UT, Spanish music making
heavy ~5 Hz SAH with sillyballgame in English, i.e. KETU Catoosa vs
KMOX. KETU official sunset in July is 0145 UT (August: 0115), but
supposed to be reduced from 10 to 7 kW during Critical Hours starting
at 2345 UT – that certainly does not help out KMOX here.

KETU pattern has broad major lobe slightly west of south, i.e. right
across Tulsa from the north side, with sharp nulls toward the NW
(Colorado?) and NE (St Louis), but Enid almost to the west is getting
only a fraxion off the shoulder of the lobe. On caradio it`s not
enough to overcome powerline, trafficlight noise except in a few lucky
spots.

Recheck at 1602 UT with no KMOX, ID as ``La Diferente`` and a .9 FM
frequency, presumably the translator listed on 97.9. Later in hour, ad
for Mercado Las Americas, the grocery store which I think is involved
in KETU ownership, licensed to La Zeta 95.7, which is KSEC, 6/6 kW in
Bentonville AR (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 11940, UT Fri July 26 at 0117, S8-S6 of dead air, surely REE
which is supposed to modulate here until 0200 on weekdays, for S
America; while the NAm frequency 9690 is OFF. More problems.

Alan Roe found out from Justin Coe that co-host Alison Hughes has been
on sick leave for months but expected back soon. That explains his
sole hosting of English M/W/F at 2200-2230, and mostly-music content
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Since WWV is in well on 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz, July 26 at
0121/0132, I check the NRD-545 for zero-beat tuning. It has always
required a correxion factor of about plus 10 Hz, but now I find the
offness is not linear:
5000 = tuned to 4999.99, add 10 Hz
10000 = tuned to 9999.98, add 20 Hz
15000 = tuned to 14999.97, add 30 Hz
20000 = tuned to 19999.95, add 50 Hz
These offsets are not precise since tuning display does not go down to
the 1-Hz level. My more precise .### 3-digit measurements must be made
with the R75 instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15770, July 25 at 1547, WRMI in dead air, or is it JBM?
Maybe a trace; still/again DA at 1837 check instead of SMTV. What a
waste. BTW, I`m baffled why WRMI does not use a single 11 or 13 MHz
band frequency in the summer daytimes, rather 6, 7 or 9 MHz which lose
a lot to absorption and are lucky to be audible at one-hop distance
from Okee (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.2v, UT Fri July 26 at 0110, WBCQ is still on with
Brother Scare, more or less like 7570 & 7730 WRMI. WBCQ sked does not
show anything on 7490 after 0100, and 0000-0100 is an Available Time
Slot. Apparently an ad-hoc extension of TOMBS now that he`s no longer
on 9330v, but for how long?

6159.775, July 26 at 0543, JBA carrier, presumed WBCQ slipped down
from the plus side. Still too much almost-constant line noise of at
least S9 here below 9 MHz, but electric utility OG&E is now working on
locating and fixing it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 760, July 26 at 0549 UT, WJR Detroit with heavy CCI
making a SAH of 56/minute, almost 1 Hz. Normally there is no such QRM
as all the surrounding 760s are either supposed to be daytime-only, or
in the case of San Antonio, with a null toward the north; and unseems
Mexican (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
