** CANADA [and non]. After a day of mostly <88 MHz MUFs June 26, late
evening sporadic E FM DX had erupted UT June 27 when I checked DXMAPs
after 0230. So hastened to the car. Except for this, all other logs
this session are filed at OKLAHOMA [and non].

93.1 at 0248, ``30 minutes of music -- for you -- sound, CFNO`` and
$ tereo rock. I thought DX would be from NW like Alberta, but this is:
CFNO-FM 93.1 MARATHON ON CAN 50.0 kW 265.0 m 48-45-11 86-34-52 HOT AC
Overriding the fringe Kansan on 93.1. Marathon is on the north shore
of Lake Superior between Thunder Bay and Wawa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, June 28 at 0640, RHC in Spanish, S9+30, on *much* later
than usual; would collide with NZ as heard here last night, but no
sign of it now for me, but:

``[WOR] Cuba squatting on New Zealand's 9700 kHz allocation, 0700 UTC
June 28 --- Fri, Jun 28 at 7:27 AM --- Tuned into 9700 kHz at 0700 UTC
June 28 to find Radio Havana Cuba still on the air in Spanish,
clashing with RNZ Pacific. 73 Ricky Leong, Calgary, Alberta,
Canada``

Somethings` always wrong at RHC, At 0649, 6000 is also still on at
S9+15/20 but dead air except some tone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. DXMAP shows Es FM DX paths between OK area and southwest
Mexico, so I delay lunch and head to the car thru 100-degree heat, max
109 later! June 28:

92.7 at 1848 UT, tropical/Mexmx $ , 1849 f/out, 1851 f/in ``Conexión
92.7`` so it is:

TU CONEXION CULTURE VARIETY CONEXIÓN 92.7

92.1 at 1852, $ PSA, Soriana ad, ``Locura FM``, Nayarit ad, two more
``Locura FM``, 11:53 time = MST UT -7. Also at 1912, Mex rap,
``Locura`` in lyrix; 1913 ``92.1 Locura FM``, 12:13 timecheck = MST UT
-7. No crazy Locura slogan listed anywhere in Mexico. Therefore must
be a change for this:
XHUX-FM relays: AM 810 92.1 TEPIC NAY 5.0 kW 230.7 m 21-43-44
105-03-55 GRUPERA LA PATRONA

94.5 at 1854, rock/salsa f/in/out; 1856 Spanish announcement with
background noise, mentions Argentina, Esperanza; Aguascalientes,
``R-U-A-A``, ``proyección de la Voz Universitaria``, CCI, plug program
viernes at 2 pm on 94.5 FM; 1858 talk about a student in Poughkeepsie
[!], Nueva York. A bit of 94.5 Spanish JBA again at 1915:
XHUAA-FM 94.5 AGUASCALIENTES AGS 25.0 kW -16.0 m = BELOW average
terrain! 21-58-23 102-21-36 COLLEGE RADIO UNIVERSIDAD Universidad

93.5 at 1859, Spanish, CCI, YL & OM DJs, laughter SFXs, 1902 ad, ID
93.5 X---- fades but mentions Nayarit; 1903 SHVA = super-hype voice
actor lengthy ID as ``La Patrona`` 93.5 FM: WTFDA FMDB has no NAY on
this frequency, but Wikipedia: XHEJ-FM, Bahia de Banderas, Nayarit,
Mexico. Broadcast area: Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. 93.5, Branding: La
Patrona. Yes, Puerto Vallarta is right next to Nayarit:
XHEJ-FM 93.5 PUERTO VALLARTA JAL 25.0 kW -22.05 m = BELOW average
terrain! 20-46-12 105-12-27 REGIONAL MEXICAN LA PATRONA

93.3 at 1905, Spanish music CCI to OKC C&W, $ , 1908 ID missed, too
much QRM. There are no 93.3 stations in known PTA = probable target
area, of Jal, Nay, Ags

96.3 at 1909, Spanish briefly against 96.1 OKC ACI; two stations in
Jalisco

92.9 at 1911, Mexmx, maybe another from Nayarit PTA:
XHZE-FM 92.9 SANTIAGO IXCUINTLA NAY 25.0 kW 64.36 m 21-48-01 105-14-06
SPANISH HITS BALADAS LA PODEROSA

95.1 at 1916, Spanish CCI briefly to Bott KQCV OK. Only this in PTA,

Opening lull or out by 1916, so break for my long-delayed lunch; one
more when resuming:
88.1 at 1952, ``Universal``, YL is despediding herself, ads in pesos,
Soriana, PSA about clínicas, CCI from Okies, .mx wesites. One 88.1 hit
on Universal!
XHRED-FM 88.1 CD. DE MÉXICO CDMX 95.0 kW 561.0 m 19-27-08 99-22-03 HD

** OKLAHOMA. 1020 KOKP and 105.1 KOSB Perry, June 28 at 1458 UT, are
still off the air after windstorm, early UT June 26. Does website
acknowledge this?
http://tripleplaysportsradio.com/
NO! Header describes group this way: ``105.1 & 93.1 Stillwater, 93.3
Ponca City, 1020 Perry, 1580 Blackwell`` - I`ve never heard the 93.1
translator, unless that was the sporadic dead-airer; nor 93.3 blocked
by OKC station; there is a link to X, but ``nothing to see here yet``
Abottom home page, interesting animated weather map of wind predixions
for the following week from www.windy.com Another check June 28 at
1918 after MexiDX, 105.1 is back on but not 1020; and 1580 has stayed
on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. After a day of mostly <88 MHz MUFs June 26,
late evening sporadic FM DX had erupted UT June 27 when I check DXMAPs
after 0230. So hasten to the car. See also CANADA for one definite
log. Frequency after frequency turn out to be ``spoilers`` from KS,
OK, or TX with enhanced conditions anear rather than Es from afar!

89.5 at 0246, jazz in $ tereo, not Tulsa or Kansas per skeds; mixing
with gospel huxter, normally `open` frequency. 0300 ID for KJCC
Carnegie OK, amid CCI. At 0315 promos for FRC. 0332 about evangelism
in Nicaragua; anti-mainstream-media, Family Research Council plugs,
``The Washington Stand``, frc.org; 0337 program now is ``Washington
Watch``. A huge affiliate list is here for W.W.:
https://www.tonyperkins.com/stations
Far Christian right show, via several networks, AFR, Bott, CSN, etc.
Searching on 89.5 leads to 15 stations including KJCC from CSN at this
hour.

96.5 at 0249, Tulsa Mix 96.5 has CCI, with ad for phone 225-9111 Steve
Johnson. Search on that leads only to Barrie, Ontario, landscaping
business; but no viable radio hits there.

101.3 at 0252, ``Today`s best country`` and tasteofcountry.com - KFDI
Wichita KS and KLAW Lawton OK, both fringers, are struggling for
primacy, and both country, but not those exact slogans in FMDB - maybe
program names rather than stations`. Website has plenty of stuff
including podcasts, but nothing about radio affiliates.

101.5 at 0254, Mexmx in $ , strong but fades out just in time for any
0300 ID! Hope it`s Es, but surely not Canada. Could be fringer in KS,
100/100 kW KSMM Liberal. As I noted before, our nearby religious SS in
Okeene OK, is absent. 0323 f/in again Mexmx.

102.5 at 0305 in $ mentions ``Christian faith``, normally vacant
channel here; maybe 100/100 kW KKCV, BOTT in Rozel KS, which is WSW of
Great Bend on the way to Garden City. Nothing in OK.

103.9 at 0304 SRN news, KHYM ID. Is 100/100 kW Copeland KS, also
relays invading OK.

94.1 at 0308, ``94.1 KXOJ`` ID, gospel mx - Glenpool OK (Tulsa). 0327,
program `Live Wire Nights`, CCI, David Jeremiah with San Diego
address, ``Turning Point``. Website
https://www.davidjeremiah.org/radio has neat feature, ``stations near
you``, six in KS and OK including two in Enid - but not on 94.1.
Download and consult *huge* station list by country, state and city:

https://d2urhn0mmik6is.cloudfront.net/site/_images/radio2/radio_log.pdf
Incredibly the call for every CSN affiliate is KAWZ-FM, its orginator
in Idaho, not local calls! including what should be KJCC 89.5 Carnegie
OK. There are only? 10 hits on 94.1, including in OK, only ``KQCV-FM``
OKC, which is a translator, in addition to 95.1 KQCV-FM Shawnee. Yet
what I am hearing is either KXOJ, or 9.8/9.8 kW KTHM 94.1 Waynoka
``The House`` relayer of 89.7.

96.7 at 0309, DFW ad, as KTCK again penetrates way up here from Flower
Mound TX.

88.1 at 0313, song with lyric ``97.5 Radio One``, and ``The Bird``,
then a song about Virgin Mary. What in the world? That`s the slogan of
DXLM in Philippines and of an Atlanta station, but what about 88.1?
There is no Georgia connexion between 97.5 and 88.1. Could be *CBC*
Radio One, CBEW Windsor on 97.5, but again what`s the 88.1 connexion?
Maybe this: CBEW relayed on 88.1:
CBEE-FM relay of:CBEW-FM 97.5 88.1 CHATHAM-KENT ON 1.43 kW 126.0 m
42-27-00 82-04-59 NEWS/TALK CBC RADIO ONE WINDSOR - but would CBEW
have any local programming mentioning 97.5 other than IDs during
national feed? Could also be merely an Okie spoiler with strange
programming.

101.7 at 0322, mention ``Royal Fund Management``, smax of Canadian?
and fade-out. No, HQ in The Villages, Florida, but could do business
anywhere.

Another possible Es opening, June 27 at 2034, nets only nearbies:

92.1 at 2034, ``The Beat`` - that`s 27/27 kW KTBT Broken Arrow
(Tulsa). More dominant normally is KFXI 100/100 kW Marlow mono.

92.3 at 2036, L&C sportstalk, ``Throwback``, Wichita mentioned. So
KKGQ Newton KS, 100/100 kW. Woodward OK talk station normally
dominates.

97.1 at 2040, L&C sportstalk, normally nothing vs 96.9 local. Mentions
Oklahoma, ad for Sun & Sky. So 100/100 kW KYAL Muskogee (Tulsa) Sports
Animal (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri June 28 at 2201, token English from SNR, S9+20/30
direct with news, leading with snap elexion in France. 2207 Mideast

2234 `That`s Why`, Ms Badax, this week on paradoxes, contradixions,

chopoff*, no finesse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28225 CW, June 28 at 2203, K5GJR/B and gridsquare, Orange
Grove TX, previously logged June 5, q.v. Much stronger than:
28245, June 28 at 2204, the Long Beach beacon WA6APQ again, see June
26; and even weaker 28300, K6FRC. No phonesigs on 10m in quick
bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2249 monitoring: confirmed Friday
June 28 at 2058 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz,
S9/+10 into nearby Noale SDR; also confirmed the 2030 on WRMI webcast
only.

Also confirmed Friday June 28 at 2200, first SWBC on WRMI 9955, S9/+10
direct, JBA direct as undermodulated and about equal to noise level;
at 2225 into Bonaire, S6/S8 with some jamming; better into Maryland
S5/S7 with less noise but still some jamming.

Also confirmed Friday June 28 at 2243 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.000, S8/9+5 into UTwente.

I notice already June 28, WRMI transmitter skedgrid has been
advance-dated July 1; but each individual System grid is still dated
March 10, altho there have been many changes since then. Nothing added
or deleted compared to known WOR timings. Next:

** U S A. 15770, June 28 at 0638, S8/S9 of dead air from WRMI-9,
unusual; yet it`s the SSOB in depressed propagation: strongest signal
on band. Scheduled at 0630 daily and normally heard is Eslovaquia in
Espanish. More DA reported on 15770 before and after 20 UT by John
Figliozzi, Kari Kallio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, June 28 at 2345 into NH SDR:
3265 & 5130 OFF; 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929 TOMBS S7/9+10; 7490 -71 =
7489.929 - see how they match, FKB S9+10. Instead of a verbal ``one
minute`` warning to FKB, a tone alert, so he wraps up in time for
double WBCQ ID, and disclaimer that the following AAAWWW originally
aired June 21, 2024, i.e. last week as I already reported on it; never
mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, June 28 at 0644, R. Vanuatu with island music, S6/S7
direct. As for 7260, Manuel Méndez says, ``7260 is on air these days
at about 2000, and before 2000 on 3945`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10125 USB, June 28 at 0640, trace of JBA talk. I check
this every night in bandscans and first time anything heard in months.
There was an Australian ragchew ham net before, but never could copy
any IDs. Wish others would check this. Apparently, only in Australia,
phone is allowed on ``30m``, not just CW/digital. The expired
Colombian ham HK3QQ with partly incorrect CW in keyboard order on same
frequency is no longer ever heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
