** CANADA. Two Ontario logs along with US FM DX July 9 under USA [and non], duplicated here:
94.1 at 1816, classical music. Nothing fits but surely this which does classical without being so mentioned on WTFDA DB: CBL-FM 94.1 TORONTO ON CAN VARIETY CBC MUSIC 38.0 420.0 43-38-33 79-23-14 B203 CBC CBC MUSIC No Program Type or Undefined 1764/1096 95.1 at 1831, ``Cool FM``: CKUE-FM 95.1 CHATHAM ON CAN SOFT AC 95.1 & 100.7 COOL FM 42.0 133.0 42-26-14 82-06-22 CE27 1501/933 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [and non]. 21800, July 10 at 0627-0629 UT, searching 13m band for any signals in our summermiddle nightmiddle, this JBA carrier is the highest, CNR1 jammer listed in EiBi; vs Sound of Hope which would be on 21799.7. Also: JBA carrier on 21560, BBC MADAGASCAR; q.v. for 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, Monday July 10 at 0633, tonight`s extra prolongation but Spanish not English, opening repeat of `En Contacto` DX program, first topic: yagi antennas; later, propagation; S9/+10 direct with squeal. Something`s always wrong at RHC. WWDXC DX program list shows 0635 on 3 other irr. frequencies including 5040 which seems totally gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, July 10 at 2158, S9/+10 of dead air direct from RHC but did not get back after 2200 to check whether Portuguizing for a change today. By 2310 into Missouri SDR it is modulating Spanish but sup/torted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460.016, July 10 at 1613, music, presumably Turkish jammer at typical Emirler offset, S9+10/15 with squeal into UTwente; while 17480.001, S8/9+15 in talk about Kurdistan, presumably Dengê Welat, via Uzbekistan? broadly missed by the jammer. By 1658 two signals making SAH on 17460, no signal on 17480. Earlier in nightmiddle had JBA signals at 0623 on 17460, 17485 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR [and non]. Nightmiddle, summermiddle scan of 16m band, 17460-17890, July 10 at 0623-0627 finds 23 carriers from JBA to VG 17640 BBC, 17790 AWR both via Talata. See also KURDISTAN [non] and for 13m, CHINA [and non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SINGAPORE. 12025, July 10 at 1511, BBCWS news in English, S9/S8, EiBi-listed as Kranji site at 15-19 aiming for Mideast. Site allegedly to be closed as of July 16 or 23, but already phasing out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Monday July 10 at 2200, VG direct, token English from SNR, previews after news: more on the Pamplona festival; about Royal Shakespeare Co. produxion of `As You Like It`; report from Lebanon about Cervantes Institute activities in Beirut. I heard the first part 2206-2218: getting gored by bulls is only part of the San Fermín Festival with many other activities. Animal-rights groups have been unable to stop the bull-run, a major touri$ t attraxion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, July 10 at 2200, 2219, 2231 chex, zero signal from VOT English. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28300 CW, July 10 at 2152, K6FRC/B over and over, beacon. WI5V roster dispenses with the /B, to be assumed, u.o.s.: 28.300 K6FRC C TRACY, CALIFORNIA # 100W, "POGO stick" VERTICAL Freq change 8 July 09. 28.300 K6FRC/B2 TRACY, CALIFORNIA 10W, VERTICAL Backup transmitter for K6FRC/B Now it`s the OSOB, no other beacons to be heard, nor any phone up to 28500. And it`s been quite a while since I`ve detected K6FRC on 13565 which is at a different location, Patterson, allegedly 1.8 milliwatts. 26110 FM, KMK282 at KOVR `13` Stockton/Sacramento, I check for whenever also on 10m band and have heard no sign of it since March 28. Frodge-MI had it April 6. Is it ever on any more? --- also no local CB pirate on 27185 relaying Enid FM stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2198 monitoring: confirmed Sunday July 9 at 2018 the 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323 only, S9+10/20 with only lite understation CCI. Also confirmed UT Monday July 10 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10 into Louisiana SDR - and for first time in long time, NO external noise blast for first 14 seconds: we can only hope it`s over. NOT confirmed UT Monday July 10 circa 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 minus 67 Hz = 6159.933, S7/S9+5 into Maryland SDR, but DEAD AIR. Webcast? 404 but 7490 air and web are running OK. Does not matter that there is some ACI from 6165 VOT. Tuned in at 0258 when already dead. Hope Larry Will is OK. I let both run thru entire unoccupied WOR block to 0330 and whatever would follow until 0400, when 6160 comes to life with ID and right into TOMBS. Next: 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW Thanks this week to John, N9JL: ``Hello Glenn, I routinely listen to your weekly podcasts, and really enjoy them. You consistently provide your listeners with a broad cross-section of SW and BC band related information. In only 30 minutes I know the stations I should be tuning for over the following several days.

Ho, hum. Was originally blasting in like this when I first discovered, but lately had been quite weak, all depending on propagation, or operation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock updates us on July 9: hopes to be back on air this week or next, first 5085, later 9475, as he has been sales-approaching various ministries. Also is selling some expensive extra parts to help finance the station for rest of year, such as twelve only partially ~half-depleted final tubes since Ted mishandled them. You`re supposed to gradually increase the voltage as time goes on. KVOH may be buying two of them for Zambia. Could only get $ 200/ton for scrap metal. BTW, the WTWW building has a fabulous floor (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. Es FM DX: gotta take it whenever it decide to happen! In the not too hot garage, on the Nissan Sentra 2004 stock caradio with fender vertical antenna only, so no antenna manipulation but disfavoring horizontal-only stations, if any; all logs in real time with my own ears, one frequency at a time, no RDS capability, no recording, no internet for stream comparisons; but research later from my scribbled notes, mainly the excellent WTFDA FM Database, also in general searching if needed. All times strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP and antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz and vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from distancefromto.net. Showing distance does not necessarily make a log more definite, but FYI. I do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not, and am not in a competition. Each DX log I view as a potential learning experience. Clarifications, correxions welcome. Sunday July 9, all times strictly UT! 91.5 at 1742, KSNS *still* dead air but some classical music is off-and-on trying to overcome it. From subsequent probable target area obs, likely: WXXO 91.5 ROCHESTER NY HD CLASSICAL CLASSICAL 91.5 45.0 134.0 43-08-07 77-35-03 93C8 WXXI -FM Classical 91.5 WXXI-FM Rochester NY Classical // WXXY 90.3 & W298CE 107.5 -- and again at 1805. Recently changed call from WXXI to WXXO. The XXI derived from the now surely irrelevant old analog channel of its TV station which must have preceded the FM; altho one might guess it denote our century 1882/1169 94.5 at 1748, 1755, 1804, classical music in mix of others, surely: WNED-FM 94.5 BUFFALO NY HD CLASSICAL WNED CLASSICAL 94.0 220.5 42-38-15 78-46-07 7767 WNED-FM YOUR CLASSICAL ESCAPE Classical 1775/1103 94.5 at 1750, ad for seabreeze.com on the shore of Lake Ontario, mentions Rochester.

Can`t be sure whether this be one of the more definitely IDed on 94.5. KNN could mean Kentucky News Network, rather than Kurdistan or Korea. If so there is one possibility in KY: WMXL 94.5 LEXINGTON KY HD HOT AC MIX 94.5 85.0 194.0 38-07-24 84-26-37 16B9 Artist/Song - Mix 94.5 Artist/Song - Mix 94.5 Adult Hits but I have not been able to make any such correlation. There is such a thing in KY, but no radio affiliate list found. A music station might incidentally get newscasts from KNN, not worth website mention 1198/744 94.5 at 1753, ``classic rock, 94-5 XKR``: WXKR 94.5 PORT CLINTON OH HD CLASSIC ROCK 94.5 XKR TOLEDO'S CLASSIC ROCK 30.0 188.2 41-30-03 83-16-16 HD is off. 1409/876 94.1 at 1754, ``Mix 94-1``; of 4 stations so named, only this in PTA: WHBC-FM 94.1 CANTON OH HOT AC MIX 94.1 45.0 157.0 40-53-53 81-19-07 6740 MIX 94-1 Artist/Title MIX 94-1 Canton Adult Hits 1513/940 97.3 at 1756, hymn VG and very briefly.

In PA there is one, east of Pittsburgh; possibly but lowpowered: WPCL 97.3 SPANGLER PA RELIGIOUS TEACHING WAY TRUTH LIFE RADIO 1.75 kWH 1.7 kWV 186.0 40-30-27 78-48-14 7C83 WPCL 93.3 at 1758, CCI to OKC, Yankee Honda ad, Hometown Rent-to-Own, mentions Erie PA and 93 -- but no fits for Erie. I seem to get hits for Yankee Honda in Erie, but real name of dealer there is Bianchi which I may have misunderstood. Hometown Rent-to-Own rather generic a name, but top hits are for Jamestown NY and Salamanca NY. I bet it`s this: Jamestown NY is near Erie PA: WWSE 93.3 JAMESTOWN NY HOT AC SE 93 26.5 196.0 42-05-06 79-17-22 A998 SE93 SE93 is Nielsen Rated #1 No Program Type or Undefined 1721/1070 93.9 at 1800, definite ID for Pocatello-Idaho Falls-Blackfoot, 1801 Town Hall News -- wow, NE and NW openings at once; this is only log from NW: KZBQ 93.9 POCATELLO ID COUNTRY EAST IDAHO COUNTRY 100.0 308.4 42-51-57 112-30-44 1437/893 92.3 at 1808, ``check out 97-9 WJLB``. So which 92.3 could be a sibling station to WJLB 97.9, which I did NOT hear, but FYI: WJLB 97.9 DETROIT MI HD URBAN CONTEMPORARY DETROIT'S HIP-HOP & R&B 50.0 149.0 42-24-22 83-06-44 1D8B 97.9 WJLB Artist/Title 97.9 WJLB Artist/Title Rhythm and Blues --- both are iHeart stations, so it is: WMXD 92.3 DETROIT MI HD URBAN AC MIX 92.3 45.0 146.0 42-19-55 83-02-42 16B1 MIX 92.3 Artist/Title MIX92.3 R&B and the Best Old School Jams Rhythm and Blues 1433/890 94.1 at 1816, classical music.

Another false alarm checking at 2122-2129, just noting that 91.5 KSNS is *still* dead air. 2221 another session: 99.3 with NASCAR talk over KLOR Ponca; despite next log, no sports format listed anywhere in VA or FL on 99.3. 94.5 at 2223, rap; 2236 ad for dancing at Main Street Station; in & out. Top hits on Main Street Station lead to Daytona Beach FL; name may be too generic, also one in Richmond VA. Both have local 94.5s.

Keeping an eye on DXMAPs for Es MUFs and favorable paths, there appear to be some further chances, such as UT Monday July 10 when I`m back in the DX car at 0309-0315 but nothing unusual - 91.5 KSNS still deadairing. Likewise July 10 at 2010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2352 UT July 10
