** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed July 7 at 1510 tune-in, LRA36 is
underway, VP S1-S2 into Brasília #2 SDR, but much better S5-S8 into
Pardinho SP, where from 1512 I camp upon someone already exactly tuned
to it in McMinnville, Oregon. Tango in progress; same canned ID at
every break between tunes, 1515, 1519, 1522, the ``Nacional Antártida
Argentina -- la Radio Pública`` one. 1526 YL closing announcement
credits Ministerio de Defensa, so this Base is hardly civilian; also
acknowledges all the other LRAs around Argentina allegedly relaying.
Do they pick it up off this SW frequency or cheat via satellite or
web? Then OM s/off, and 1527-1531* Antártida song. No more mod, but
back to Bsla #2 SDR off-tuned to 15475.0-USB, I can tell the reduced
carrier stays on, JBA fading in and out making tone just less than
1000 Hz, and *still* on when SDR times out after 60 minutes at 1632,
and I`ve had more than enough. Maybe they leave it on to keep the room
warmer? Or electrical fluid is cheap? Hardly, nor maybe the Diesel to
generate it. Often after ``s/off`` they continue with more programming
but not today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 WOOB jammer survey July 7 at 1346: 13130 Chinese S2-S5;
13020 JBA; 12880 Chinese S2-S5; 12795 Chinese S3-S6; 12500 JBA
carrier; 13530 JBA. I continue to be amazed that certain reporters
keep claiming they are hearing Sound of Hope, blissfully ignorant of
the much more likely jammers; and editors don`t correct/challenge
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. During Es opening hour July 7 at 17-18 UT, on caradio,
see USA, I have to contend with nearby spoilers fading in and out, but
FWIW some log info on them:

99.5, July 7 at 1726, ``Big Country 99.5`` = KXBL Henryetta.

99.3, July 7 at 1727 ``radio special`` food ad; probably 3 kW KLOR-FM
Ponca City.

97.5, July 7 at 1732, sex counseling ad, ziprecruiter.com/radio; 1734
about recount so AZ maybe? but sports news mentions OU [why isn`t it
UO = University of Oklahoma?]; 1735 possibly different station, rather
clear ID as KFOD, but nonesuch even fuzzily rhyming, nor as AM call
translated to FM; must have been merely KMOD Tulsa, tho not sports
format.

104.5, July 7 at 1740, song with audio cutting out. Must be KZZW
Mooreland = Woodward ``market`` if you can call such small towns that.
No one at station paying attention? Woodward-Mooreland has a lot of FM
stations for its size, due to isolation: 16 of them, 10 of which are
full-power. 2010 population of Woodward was 12K; entire county was
only 20K. It`s 136 km = 85 miles from the nearest metropolis, Enid
with more than 4X the population; but 12 FM stations, only 4 of which
are full power and one of those, 96.9 really funxions as an OKC
station (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7730, July 7 at 0538 UT, WRMI with trace of
JBM on S9+20/30 signal while TOMBS is blasting in on 7570, etc. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 monitoring: did anyone hear the Wed 1030
on WRMI 5850? Confirmed Wed July 7 at 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490 minus 83 Hz
per Maryland SDR = 7489.917, S7-S9. But NOT confirmed at same time on
WRMI 7780 which is NOT on the air! Still off circa 2340; Okeechobee
did not seem to be too close to the Elsa storm track.

Next, and last:
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

New WOR 2094 should be ready for download by early UT July 9 and first
SW airings Friday at 0130 on WRMI 5850 & if on air then, 7780 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5010, July 7 at 1116, JBA here and not 5015, presume WRMI
back on non-wrong frequency, as reported by Ivo 23 hours before. Still
no reply from Jeff about this; usually when he does not reply to a
direct inquiry it means there is something negative he would rather
not discuss (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also SOUTH CAROLINA [non]

** U S A. 15825, July 7 at 1351, WWCR-1 is Just Barely Modulated, or
to be charitable, very undermodulated. I have no way of quantifying
such judgments. Have to turn volume way up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Sporadic E patch MUF 94 MHz over New Mexico, so looks
promising for westward DX; on caradio in garage I start at 1707 UT
July 7:

87.75, July 7 at 1707, first thing tuned is Spanish! Slightly better
on 87.7 than 87.9; likely a FrankenFM, which will have to drop dead on
July 13 when everything has to be DTV, with a few exceptions such as
remote Alaska. Two women conversing, first about TicToc; 1712 about
Puerto de Veracruz, so could it be a lingering full-power analog
Mexican TV channel 6? Probably not: is religious plugging a `conexión
de verano con Jesús`` el 11 de julio; 1715 fading in and out. Mentions
guadaluperadio.com and program is `Mujeres de Fe`. Then I`m scanning
upband; by 1728, 87.7 is fading, gone by 1737 and not much more in the
next semihour. Uplooked later in the WTFDA FM Database, only hitfit
is:

``KSFV-LP 87.7 SAN FERNANDO VALLEY CA Spanish RELIGIOUS GUADALUPE
RADIO 3.0 kW horiz. only, 0.0 meters HAAT! 34-12-46 118-03-42
A41F``
1876 km = 1166 st mi city to city per distancefromto.net

94.1, July 7 at 1710, something in English trying to get past 94.3.

93.1, July 7 at 1717 CCI to KS in English, 1718 MontsterMedia.com of
Yuma = https://www.monstermediayuma.com/ so it is no doubt:

``KLJZ 93.1 YUMA AZ HOT AC Z-93 TODAY'S BEST MUSIC 100.0 kW H&V
only 25.0m HAAT 32-39-06 114-39-04 2E0F`` 1584 km = 984 statute miles.
Also ads for casino, summer splash at San Luis AZ; CCI:

93.1, July 7 at 1720, ``93-1 The Mountain, Valley traffic`` on Las
Vegas Blvd. I bet it`s the one in NV:

``KYMT 93.1 LAS VEGAS NV HD ROCK 93.1 THE MOUNTAIN 23.5 kW H&V 1183.0
m HAAT 35-57-55 115-30-00 18CF 93-1 The Mountain World Class Rock
Adult Hits`` 1545 km = 960 stmi. Site is SW of LV closer to the CA
border where there are a couple of mountains higher than that.

97.3, July 7 at 1722 strong briefly, national ads getroman.com, GEICO,
get a 97.3 app, 1725 sports talk about CBS, probably this:

``KWFN 97.3 SAN DIEGO CA HD SPORTS 97.3 THE FAN 50.0 kW H&V 134.0 m
HAAT 32-43-13 117-04-14 4AA7 97.3 The Fan The FAN, San Diego's Only FM
Sports Station Sports`` It also has a bunch of co-channel boosters
under 100 watts elsewhere in southern California. SD = 1810 km 1024
mi

99.5, July 7 at 1753, ``Real Country`` slogan. No exact hits on that
in WTFDA but Google search on slogan and MHz leads to KXPL Las Cruces
NM whose main brand is Zia Country; but that`s a bit too close, 934 km
= 580 stmi; and to KHAZ Hays KS, more likely fringe scatter signal,
304 km = 189 stmi. Some others seem Okie spoilers, q.v. (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, WOR)
