** OKLAHOMA. 28434 USB, Dec 13 at 2314, KJ5CMP, Isaiah in Oklahoma
contacting Oregon. Unusual to hear any Okie on 10m, too close for
skip, so this one must be quite near. His signal drops drastically as
he moves/switches antenna. Then calling CQ when I finally copy his
fonetix. ARRL shows Russell, Isaiah L, 10400 N US Hwy 81, Enid. Hey,
look at this with photos at QRZ.com:

** UKOGBANI [non]. 11645, Dec 13 at 2300, BBCWS via USAGM Tinang,
PHILIPPINES fairly good directly off the back of Indonesian beam, but
at 2306 I want best reception possible, via remote in Jakarta,
somewhat better than Bandung, for much-publicized documentary, `Morse

million. It has a tubular sexion, 10-12 feet diameter. ATU inside it
has to be cooled, but that failed accounting for off the air ~3 days.

notice when there is a problem. 0122 unusually plays some music, and
fiddling around with linx, gets some more tunes on. 0128 simulcasting
