Regarding the UT Sun 0130 on 5850 overtaken by VORW, Jeff White has agreed to add WOR to UT Sat 0130 on 5850 to the NW for the foreseeable future. Unless there be further changes, this may also be // 5010 to the south, and already simulscheduled on 7780 to NE.

But at 1625 there is a 32 MHz MUF about halfway between Nashville and here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1539.95 approx., Sept 8 at 0602 UT, LAH against 1540.0 stations such as KXEL. I`ve been noticing this for some time. On MW with all the QRM, it`s harder to measure to three decimal places. In the past this has been KGBC Galveston TX. DF seems to fit, and apparently it is off-minus still or again, as Terry Krueger, now moved to Niceville FL in the Panhandle, has just reported to DXLD: ``1539.903, TEXAS, KGBC, 0918 August 28, 2019. Very poor, with Mexi-tunes on peaks, and confirmed it's KGBC per D. Crawford who had it a few days earlier and since on 1539.903. And not to be confused with the still off-channel and variable KBOA Kennett MO on 1539.996-1540.005, this check on the low side with "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" by Denice Williams & Johnny Mathis.`` Per 2019/2020 NRC AM Log, which does not deal with offfrequenciness, latest KGBC format is Tejano, U4 2500/250 watts. Beware, so is KEDA San Antonio, Tejano, which I guess refer only to music style. However, música is feminine, so why isn`t it called ``tejana``; machismo [where the ch is not pronounced k!]? Also, is it possible for a station outside Texas to be Tejano? Or e.g. if it play the same style of music from OK, would it be ``Oclajomano``? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 12125-USB, 13519-USB, 13788-USB, Sept 8 at 1315 within a minute on bandscan, weak 2-ways in Spanish all here, the last being INTRUDERS into the SWBC band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1633 UT September 9
