** MEXICO. I haven`t caught any 10 m beacon activity for quite a while, but now at least two main XEs by sporadic E, Sept 19 at 2222 & 2225: 28171 CW, XE1FAS/B, not listed at WI5V but only 24929.5 from Puebla 28276 CW, XE1JAL/B, 5 watts from Xalapa [not Jalapa? XAL?] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. ``Hi Glenn, About your NDBs mentioned. 350 RG is decommissioned; this happened several times but it kept coming back, it appears to finally have taken effect, last reported 1/23. 255 SW still on, reported 8/29/23; 332 IC still on, reported 8/27/23. https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals 73, Steve AA7U in Arizona`` Ratzlaff (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Sept 18 at several chex on caradio around Enid, circa 19, 20 and 21 UT, dead air in $ tereo, again at original level like months ago leading me to conclude it has to be KOCD Okeene transmitter, altho R. Salvación claimed to have gone off the air last January. It`s not local level, but plenty to dominate any signs of further 101.5s. Once back at home QTH I try the DX-398 with RDS capability, but not enough signal to display that icon if unlikely in use, nor even stereo icon. May have to take the time and trouble to drive the ~80 mile roundtrip to Okeene, SW of Enid, to be sure. One FCC map indicates site is right in center of town, slightly NW of junxion of state hwys 8 & 51; but another shows it on east side, just north of hwy 51 and just east of N2660 Rd. The 60 dbu contour of 14 kW does not reach Enid. Digging further at FCC, I see nothing about it being off the air, nor having been a relay of the 93.9 LPFM in OKC. In fact, guess what, the main studio of record is in Liberal KS! Where there is another station on 101.5 I have been getting: ``LICENSED License Expires: 06/01/2029 Status Date: 08/29/2016 Facility Id: 191552 Community of License: OKEENE, OK Service: FM Station Facility Type: Commercial [CDT] Licensee: Calvario Communications, LLC Licensee Address: 10628 Lakeridge Run Oklahoma City, OK 73170 4056641323 [phone] Main Studio Address: 531 South Kansas Blvd Liberal, KS 69705 6206268282 [phone]`` (Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Monday Sept 18 at 2200, token English from REE, first feature after news is interview about a Spanish film festival in London.

Not on the air after 2300 in German.
