** 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/
Probably a holiday substitute for `Oil of Dog`. KSFR has also been
disrupted by water issues on SFCC campus, and the webcast was down
last Thursday for `Beyond Borders` at 15-18 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Panasonic radio oriented to favor N/S paths, hearing music mixed with

long version to about 0558, choral, maybe children`s high voices. IRCA
Mexican Log shows:

``570 XEBJB NL SAN NICOLAS DE LOS GARZA CST Full (4:40) children's

erstwhile TVDXer in Festus MO.

At 0600 UT, more signal from two US stations, one with Fox news, the

** SINT MAARTEN. 1300 kHz, Sept 4 at 1935 UT, I bring up the TWR
Bonaire SDR to check out RHC 15140, q.v., and find it`s tied up but I
may camp upon someone listening to 1300; and hear music. What could
that be? WRTH 2023 shows one Venezuelan, a deportes station in
Caracas, surely not that, likely kaput at 245 km = 136 st miles.

Soon quits so I get 1300 myself at 1936 to hear an ad in English in
US$ , and www.pjd2radio.com so that`s it. WRTH has it in the fq list
for West Indies, page 717:
1300 SXM 1 [kW] PJD2 V. of St Maarten, Phillipsburg
but NOT under SAINT [sic] MAARTEN, the very name of which would be a
mixture of English and Dutch; where that call is shown only for FM
102.7 on page 441. 1300 is weak S5 but fairly steady overwater from
one part of Caribbean Netherlands to another, not bad, 862 km = 535 st
miles = 465 nmi. 1945 playing ``Love, Sweet Love``, 1950 hardsell ad
in English. 1955 mentions 102.7. Guess what, that website does not
lead to a radio station but to a blog in --- Thai!! Except for a Roman
name UFASLOT, about gambling. Stranger and stranger. Here`s the
correct radio link:
https://pjd2radiosxm.com/
Slow loading. ``Welcome to the Voice of St Maarten --- We are proud to
be providing the caribbean with the best in broadcast radio for over
35 years. We have two channels 102.7FM and 1300AM. Our Listeners are
guaranteed to get the latest in news in and around our community. We
have the most talented collection of DJ’s on the island to keep our
listener entertained and update with the latest music``

And with separate AM and FM player linx. If you play one, the other
stops. Maybe not/always // but are the same at 2018 in a YL talk show
about self-images, social media influencers. Ends at 2043, adstring
-2050 for flights to Bonaire, St. Maarten Concrete, Caribbean Lottery,
etc. Seems that ``SXM`` is common lingo for the place, not just ITU.
``Power 102.7 is here to cool it down``, 2051 back to music.

the station itself, implied above to exist only since 1987. Is there

THE TINY TRAP

Heard on CBS` 60 MINUTES at 2306 UT Sept 3, strangely enough, not
delayed by stupid ballgames for up to an hour, but made up for that by
middle story being about Australian rules football; but the first
story called CYPRUS, ``A TINY MEDITERRANEAN ISLAND`` -- and even says
that on website:

``60 Minutes - Newsmakers
Cyprus: Searching for the money of Russian oligarchs
By Sharyn Alfonsi September 3, 2023 / 7:00 PM / CBS News

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cyprus-russia-money-60-minutes-2023-09-03/

How do you hide that much money from an international community that
says it's determined to find it? The question led us to Cyprus - a
tiny Mediterranean island at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the
Middle East. As we first reported in January, the once bustling
vacation spot is in the middle of an international game of hide and
seek.``

Per Almanaque Mundial, Area is 9251 sq km. In story also mentions
population of 1 million --- TINY??? Area of e.g. MONACO is 1.9 sq km
-- now that`s tiny, but Cyprus is 4869 X the size of Monaco. Come on!

ANOTHER TINY TRAP

``Tiny Portugal`` says Rick Steves on OETA/PBS, Sept 4 at 0236 UT on
his (C) 2023 hourlong `Art of the Renaissance` which I watched with
great attention; excellent except for this major gaffe. And most shots
of him as at present grey-haired, but some blondies without otherwise
revealing this was a mixture of old and new stuff. 92,082 sq km =
almost 10 X the size of Cyprus.

** CUBA [and non]. 9330, Sunday Sept 3 at 0701, spy numbers active

groups by YL, no digibursts, cuckoos or Navajo flute music this time.
This hour is `scheduled` four nights a week, M/W/F/Sunday. Neither
station cares about this collision, ongoing ever since WBCQ-6
SuperStition came on. It is still unable to change to any other
frequency even tho many were originally planned and registered in
different bands which also would of course be much more appropriate
for certain times and targets. At least this cripples diffusion of

WCLV Cleveland OH. Amid the hour he said it marked the end of the
60-year run of the comedy show, which had been one of our favorites.
But in recent months he did appear to be running out of steam, gixing
in old segments with his younger voice; dropping segments like the
typo competition. ``Sagebrush Bob`` must be well over 80; I can`t find
a bio with his birth date. He was co-founder of WCLV in 1962. RIP,

** MEXICO. 6199.999, Sept 2 at 0630, S6/S7 of music from presumed
pirate Hikari FM, very accurate frequency, I measure here or .998 but
within margin of error from 6200.000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. RF & virtual ch 13, Sat Sept 2 at 2200, KETA of
the OETA network with `People of the North`, a limited series I have
been enjoying among many other travelogs on PBS, and here also on the
Create subchannel. Trouble is, OETA has been scattering it all over
their schedules, and it`s been hard to catch each of 10 episodes just
once. Recommended, anyhow. Great scenery and telegenic hosts. Website
is plugged but it seems complete episodes are not there for streaming,
just 30-second previews:

I`m not travelling much any more, so really appreciate all those
armchair shows (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.008, Sept 2 at 2208, VOT English is not off the air,
S9+40/45 into UTwente and with good modulation. 2223 a travelog,
didn`t get the title or subject. By 2230 weakening, only S7/S9, and VP
by 2245. Must be some prop disturbance. Anyhow at 2200-2225 I`m mainly
getting `People of the North`; see OKLAHOMA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Sept 2 at 0634, NO signal from R. Vanuatu after
several weeks` reliability. When this happen, suspect they have
changed to alternate frequency, but no signal at all on 5040; no point
in checking 3945 here, but no signals on its harmonix either, 7890 &
11835, which used to be a great bonus. Yet later, 0920/1104, Ron
Howard and Manuel Méndez confirm it`s back on 3945 but agree the
harmonix have been eliminated! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.482V, Sept 2 at 0548, mystery station is on again
tonight, JBA talk direct at S6 vs S9 storm noise level peaks. Previous
better logs were of American-accented gospel huxter, presumed the same
now. From 0601 to 0615 I check several remotes hoping for better
reception. NO signal at these: UTwente, Missouri, Maryland.

Almost inaudible but able to synch-lock onto carrier, skewed by
various off-calibrations and SDR instability in addition to station`s
own variations upward:
Utah: +520/532 Hz
Georgia: 537/583 Hz; WWV 10 MHz: +0.1-0.6 Hz
KFS California omni: +553/557 Hz; WWV 10 MHz: -0.8 Hz
Bonaire: +569/575. WWV 10 MHz: +3/4 Hz

At 0622 I ask others to try to hear and ID it, in the WOR iog, HCDX,
and even RealDX which normally deals only with after-the-fact analysis
of recordings. NO replies found by 10 hours later!

At 0627 back to my own R75, which is getting it better than any of
those remotes! But still JBA, now 7300.62 apx.
At 0653 on 7300.70 apx. Next check at wakeup 0942, unheard (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
