** CUBA. 11760, June 27 at 0646, RHC S9+10/20 in wrong? language, Spanish instead of usual extra English, only frequency still on air alternating with 9700 and 11670. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 11760, June 27 at 2203, S3/S7 of almost dead air except for squeal, presumably RHC Spanish; but the JBM music is not // 11850 which really is RHC Spanish doing much better than usual, S5/S8 undermod but sufficient. Therefore I think the music under 11760 be the simulscheduled CRI Portuguese from Xi`an to Europe, which of course is nothing but fill music even at hourtop like at 2300 on 13650 via Cuba. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17470, June 27 at 2150, JBA carrier direct, presumably Dengê Welat via Uzbekistan and/or more likely Recep`s Turkish jammer. Nothing else on 16m except Spain 17855, weaker 17715 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Area tropo is up per APRS map, reaching Enid from west, south, east. RF 14, June 27 at 1520 UT, brief decode with PSIP ID for KOCY as 48-3. That`s Telemundo, unnecessary since is also on a much stronger subchannel of RF 29 KTUZ. Does not last long enough to explore what may be on 48-1, 48-2, 48-4 or beyond, but rabbitears.info shows it`s alone despite the -3 virtual enumeration. I`ve had traces of this before when OKC tropo enhances but not definite until now. It`s 15 kW, somewhat direxional northward since site is on south side of OKC, near SE 49th and Oklahoma Avenue. BAD signals are on RF 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 26, 31, 35. But there is no signal at all on RF 29, normally huge local-level from ``Shawnee`` with the three Spanish nets and some shoppers. Suspect KTUZ may really be off the air. It`s back by 1605 check. Some Tulsans are in, on RF 28, ION 44-1; and an RF 29 spoiler from there could be 15 kW KTZT-CD, Daystar for Tulsa, but unlikely. Other Bad signals decoding briefly long enough to ID are RF 34, 33-1 KWRW-LD OKC, Heartland et al., and RF 36, 36-1 KUOKCD1 [sic] OKC, Univision also duplicated on RF 29 KTUZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 99 MHz Es MUF in spots leads me to the caradio for a check, but nonesuch here, rather tropo is up. On 93.5 I normally get fringer from Kansas to the north, but June 27 at 1732 UT I happen to catch an ad for ``right here in Altus`` and then ``K-pro 93.5 Altus``. WTFDA FMDB shows it relays KWHW 1450, but no mention of it now! KPRO KWHW 1450 93.5 ALTUS OK ROCK KPRO ROCKS 45.0 88.0 34-37-35 99-20-10 4AE4 235 km = 146 miles. I had several days` logs of KWHW x 2 on 2899.75 in May 2015. Altus also has the distinxion often of hitting maximum heat in OK since it`s in the SW corner, well over 100 lately. One other log this opening from TX: see U S A (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11800, June 27 at 2202, no signal direct from RRI, English alternative I had recommended. Very bad propagation, or off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, June 27 at 2200:17, timesignal ending 17 seconds late compared to WWV, poor S4/S6 from VOT English direct with ACI from 11780 Brasil; anyhow, not off the air today. Something`s always awry at Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sent a quarterly seasonal check to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9265, June 27 at 0643, NO signal from WINB which per own schedule is supposed to run TOMBS daily until 0658: but has wrong time conversion between ``EST`` instead of EDT vs UT, i.e. 5 hour difference instead of 4. Come to think of it, I don`t encounter WINB in routine bandscans after 0600. So suspect it really stops at 0558 UT = 1:58 am EDT. That means ALL OTHER program times at http://winb.com/schedule.htm are WRONG: The EST is really EDT and the UTs are one hour later than reality. One could confirm this by checking any random shorter program on air vs on sked. It`s incredible that America`s ``oldest`` private SW station would make such juvenile mistakes. I try 9265 Tue June 26 at 2206 UT and hear a gospel huxter in Spanish: none sked!: 04:00P / Tue-2100...Bishop S. C. Johnson 05:00P / Tue-2200...The Overcomer 06:30P / Tue-2330...The Essentials of Life and Wellness But there is supposedly on Wednesdays: even further SNAFU: 04:00P / Wed-2100...A Look At The Book - Spanish - 04:30P / Wed-2130...Wells of Salvation 05:00P / Wed-2200...Templo Trinidad Presenta Jesucristo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9975, it seems my previous log of KVOH, UT Monday June 26 before 0600, was in its very last minutes forever. Shortly afterwards, Jose Jacob notified that had been its final broadcast, more info in the next `AWR Wavescan`. Dino Bloise of `Frecuencia al Día` which had also been carried on KVOH, also reported this. I had been hearing rumors of impending doom for some time. It would seem that if its own transmitter is no longer any good, and if the Tayloes wish to continue their ministry and could afford it, buying a few hours on existing US SW stations would serve the purpose, such as WRMI or even WTWW. George McClintock had been trying to make a deal for KVOH to buy WTWW, but it did not work out. It seems that KVOH also has a problem with the lease running out for the property it has been using. Jose Jacob also refers us to his convoluted history of KVOH et al., as of two years ago: https://qsl.net/vu2jos/VOH.pdf The last I checked there was nothing about this on VOH website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, June 27 at 0649, presumed DEJOM on WMLK, but only S6/S8 direct unlike usual 300 kW whopper; 15770 WRMI is stronger, reverse of normal. Maybe northerly propagation be degraded, or QRP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5980, Tue June 27 at 0651, weak carrier interfering with Cuba`s jamming against nothing; as I bandscan downward I know I will find 5890 TOMBS on WWCR on the air even tho has been running overnight only on weekends; leaping over 5935 DGS/PMS another 45 kHz beyond. Yup, there it is on 5890, S9+20/30. And current sked dated June 1 still shows WWCR-4 OFF the air M-F at 05-12 UT. Change, or mistake? Something`s not right at Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9395, June 27 at 2208, ``Bishop`` Bob Biermann is really angry on `Truth [sic] 2 Ponder` via WRMI. He must have recovered from his surgery. Denounces homosexuality as sinful and laments that ``Pride`` gets a whole month with 3 more days to go, while worthy unsinful holidays are for only one day a year! Doesn`t care what others think of him. Names several major denominations which have embraced Gay Pride: they are all wrong, he thinx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 96.7, June 27 at 1724 UT into caradio, a strong and steady *mono* signal with two guys talking about engorgement, phone sex --- oooh, hot stuff; axually rather vapid, but what is this on normally nothing channel adjacent local 96.9? I was looking for Es but this isn`t. Finally at 1730, ``The Ticket`` for the ``tri-state area`` [besides TX and OK, what??], later mentions DFW and ``Sports Radio 96-7 and 1310 The Ticket``, so it`s: KTCK-FM 96.7 FLOWER MOUND TX SPORTS SPORTS RADIO 1310 & 96.7, THE TICKET 90.0 621.0 33-26-13 97-29-05 426A All sports all the time KTCK The Ticket // KTCK 1310 381 km = 236 miles. Flower Mound is on the north side of The Metroplex which may help a little, but as before I have no sign of any other DFW signals. Finally fades at 1736 but back up at 1741, now really talking about sports instead of sex; as I leave for lunch. One other log this opening, see OKLAHOMA. That is, until another check on the caradio at 2047: 94.5, ads and PSA for contact Dallas City Hall for West Nile Virus info, AC 214.
