** MEXICO [and non]. First major sporadic E FM DX opening of the
season, May 16 from 2259 UT past 0110 UT May 17, at least from
Campeche, Yucatán, Flórida; to be researched and compiled for my next
report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.3, May 16 at 0241 UT, KIEL Loyal, the R. 74
International 3ABN station must get a bit of tropo boost so it`s
strong enough to muscle aside local 89.1 translator, allowing me to be
sure that KIEL, even with music, is in MONO. This fact is not shown in
the WTFDA Database. That should be in the MODE field, blank in most
cases meaning surely plain old $ tereo. Searching on Mono and OK gets
not a single hit tho there are more than 250 in the whole DB (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 5130.3v, May 16 at 0631, still no signal from WBCQ A*ATT;
6160- is nominal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2243)

** U S A. Re KBCV-1570: ``Just catching up on some of your reports
from earlier this week. Hollister, MO is very close to (butts right up
against actually) Branson, not Springfield. Both about 40 miles from
SGF. So KCBV should be considered part of the Branson market. 73,
Randy Stewart`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. DXMAP shows sporadic E between OK and CA up to 96 MHz so at
0240 UT May 16 I hasten to the caradio: of course, nothing unusual
heard until 0256, but I make some nearby notes: at 0242 a distorted
signal I can`t pinpoint to 92.7, 92.9 or 93.1 is concluding an Amber
Alert distorted with 3 tones, and nothing further as if turned off.
All the while a 92.9 was audible under, probably KRQV Tulsa. MAYBE the
nearest 92.7, KWME Welllington KS, was bleeding as I listen further.
On 92.7 itself, too much ACI from 92.5 KOMA. BTW on this caradio,
there is always more ACI splash on the plus than the minus side of any
given frequency. I suspect the digital tuning be slightly misaligned.
See also OKLAHOMA. Then I receive this:

``Hello Glenn, My name is Mat (N6AVI), and I have been an avid FM DXer
for the past few years now here in sunny southern California. I wanted
to let you know that there is currently an Es opening to your area of
Oklahoma (according to a fellow WTFDA member), I even caught KNID FM
[107.1] just a moment ago. Thought I'd let you know. Happy DX! Mathew
Amador`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
