** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 101.5, Sept 8 circa 1820 UT on caradio around
Enid, seems to be slight quieting but no Spanish; no stereo pilot
either, so if KOCD Okeene, either turned off $ or just too weak to
fire. Later circa 1830 at a certain sweet spot, getting JBA Spanish
talk show about finances, more likely KSMM Liberal KS than religious
KOCD?

No, it isn`t: KSMM format is regional Mexmx and even sort of a program
sked on website: ``12 PM – 4 PM Monday - Friday Erica Majalca ”La
Manzanita" Join “La Manzanita/The Little Apple” as she presents la
música del pueblo: banda, corridos, rancheras, cumbias, pop,
romanticas and unforgettable classics every afternoon``

So back to KOCD? Website has no specific program sked,
https://salvacionradionetwork.org/
but ``something for everyone`` and this revelation!:

``The History of Our Station / La Historia de Nuestra Estacion
Radio Salvacion esta en el aire desde el año 2001, transmitiendo por
el 1220 AM, y 890 AM.

KWDW-LP 93.9 comenzó a transmitir en las ondas de LPFM en Agosto del
2014. Dejo de transmitir en Enero 2023.

KOCD 101.5FM comenzó a transmitir como Salvacion Radio Network en
Noviembre 2018. Termino de transmitir en Enero 2023``

Sic, sporadically accented. Sez both 101.5 and its primary on 93.9
went off the air in January 2023. So what were we hearing since then
but not recently? KOCD 101.5 transmitter might have been on air anyway
for test or oversight, or even being sold off.

Hmmm, there is another Okie in Spanish I had not previously
considered, just north of Tulsa, a lot closer than Liberal KS, but a
lot weaker. WTFDA FM Database shows the one for whose ID I must be

As for 1220 y 890 AM, must have bought some brokered time, not owned:
KTLV 1220 Midwest City is now UC:GOS, no mention of Spanish in new

** BRAZIL. 11780, Sept 6 at 2235, no signal of RNA into UTwente, so
11785 Turkey would have had no such ACI if itself were on. 6180 is
however on, only fair signal in Brasuguese presumably during `A Voz do

** OKLAHOMA. About the blasting line noise level in Enid. OG&E

it on MW wherever I drive in Enid; even QRNs the stoplight noise. And
on home rigs it`s all over the SW bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 101.5, Sept 6 at 2018 UT, on caradio, fringe signal

** U S A. 1290 kHz, Sept 5 at 0020 UT, I`m trying to monitor KMMM
Pratt KS, my closest on frequency, to determine its current slogan and
format which allegedly have changed. But dominant signal is pukeworthy
Mark Levin far-right talkshow, must be KWFS Wichita Falls TX, roughly
colinear from south, not north.

Looking at direxional patterns via radio-locator, KMMM favors west,
not south with some nulls/notches more or less in our direxion. By
0037, KWFS gets a medium SAH from something else. KWFS vanishes at
0045 which is its official sunset, cutting from 5000 to 73 watts
night. 0045 is also SS for KMMM, cutting from 5000 to 500 watts and
even more notched toward me.

However, in first few minutes of monitoring before 0030 I heard
slogans both ``Mighty 12-90`` and ``News-Talk 1290`` which I thought
were both KWFS. But NRC AM Log of last year shows KWFS is the
`News-Talk` and KMMM `The Mighty 1290` with country format. But no
such music being heard.

Now at 0048 I am hearing a music station, KMMM? No, it`s KIVY
``Austin`` TX really Crockett. Can`t get FCC AMQuery to reach it, but
Sept SS for another Austinite, KLBJ 590, was 0030 UT. KIVY IDs heard a
few times plugging its two puny translator frequencies, 102.9 and
105.5, not 1290. Format is supposed to be NOStalgic music per
radio-locator, yet its slogan ``Your News Talk Central`` -- slightly
self-contradictory! Per NRC AM Log of last year, KIVY goes from 2500
watts day to 175 night, and NOS slogan is ``America`s Best Music`` --
indeed that`s what I hear at a much later 0648 UT check when it`s
still dominant on 1290 into DX-398 oriented N/S. On my E/W longwire
there is some talk station at 0650, // 1110 KFAB so that would be
C2CAM. Anyhow we still don`t know about KMMM for sure. Official Sept
sunrise for all three 1290s is 1215 UT, if someone can check around
then.

At 1832 UT, precisely local mean noon at this longitude I check 1290
again when the only possible signals would be groundwave, not KIVY.
Two weak signals, the stronger talk, the weaker music, presumably KWFS
and KMMM.

Difficultized by huge line noise level, but at least with DX-398 it`s
somewhat nullable E/W vs the stations N/S. Later I have to spend an
hour on the phone until OG&E agent pixup, and I can file a complaint
about the line noise, which is not only around my place, but all the
way many blox to downtown Enid as I just drove my caradio (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Listening to KUNM Albuquerque webcast, UT Tue Sept 5 from
0400 in `Global Music` show, most of hour has very strange sounds from
Zimbabwe --- vocals are half-speed amd half-pitch, but instrumental
accompaniment sounds normal. How can this happen on a live stream
unless it`s been processed that way at the source? Finally DJ
announcement block before 0500 is *also* half-speed/pitch! But music
after 0500 is back to normal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Listening to KSFR Santa Fé webcast, UT Tue Sept 5 at 0602
UT, expecting to hear `Oil of Dog` with its quirky themesong about
love and hate, and quirky DJ who seems to speak from a script but with
aplomb -- I wish I knew where that guirky title come from, but altho
still on the websked, it`s some other rock music show, with frequent
refs to marijuana, `The Flower Power Hower` -- er, `Hour`. Searching
on that, it`s podcast via iHeart but sounds non-commercial:
https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-flower-power-hour-with-92782494/
