BEWARE RF-NOISY LAMP. A nice bright LED ring lamp on a totally
adjustable gooseneck turns out to be source of S9 RF noise across the
LF, MF and HF spectra on my nearby R75. As long as it`s plugged in,
whether turned on or not. It also has USB port we had been using for
charging a small fan, which makes it even worse. Here`s the
boilerplate info, not admitting explicitly to ``made in China``, but
surely is. We got it at, where else, Walmart:

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Friday July 21 circa 1455, quick check
of Argentine remote finds NO signal from LRA36, despite this latest?
sked revision via Manuel Méndez: ``Whatsapp received 12-07 Translation

This is evening prime-time when 12 of the 13 transmitters are supposed

17790 only in daytime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat July 22 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`,
seems like a new one. Allan admits right off, that whenever they go
political, people hate it, and then proceeds to do exactly that along
with Angela on phone. Basically their delusion is that in the past 2/3
years, terrible things have happened to our country since the elexion
was ``stolen``. And e.g., there would be no Russian war in Ukraine if
``Our President`` were still in office. Proving a negative? Enough,
turn off. But said quadricasting, so I do check out the 4 SW
frequencies, into Maryland remote:
3265.151, JBA
5130.442, S6/S7 in HSNL
6159.933, S8/S9
7489.928, S9+5/20
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130.396, July 22 at 0635, JBA talk, music? in HNL until I
get rid of that ringlamp. At 0651 music, S3/S6, 0653 talk; 0657 seems
like ID for AM and FM stations, Planet; 0700 finally recognizable WBCQ
jingle ID!! 48 hours ago had carrier on 5130.21, and once before, R.
Caroline programming.

Note how closely this match the WBCQ measurement a few hours earlier,
5130.442. The R. Angela transmitter was never so far up, only a little
bit down, so presumably another test of another unit. Has AW said
anything about this on air, on twit or on website? BTW, strangely
enough, there is another non-pirate OOB broadcaster closer to 5130.0,
Kyrgyzstan, unlikely to be confused with, I hope (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2200 monitoring: altho still on the
websked, again this Friday July 21 at 1430, NOT on WRMI 9955. Last
week something unID in Spanish; this week also Spanish, Argentine
accent and orientation, about FIFA? So apparently RAE relay. No ID or
wrapup before chopped to WRMI ID at 1459. Anyhow 9955 JBA direct, poor
via Maryland remote so I also bring up the 9955-only webcast. Here the
audio sounds like an off-air SW relay, which we never expect to hear
on WRMI. 1500 webcast goes to DW Afrika via WRN; 9955 to music and
bibling, no doubt TOMBS and not turned off by 1503. Something`s odd at
Okeechobee. Sked for System B 9955 shows 1430-1500 includes other
media programs, `Wavescan` Mon & Sun, `SW Radiogram` Tue, `Hobart RI`
Wed, `Frecuencia al Díia` Thu. Are all these blown away too? I have

changes to press time.

May 27: KVIS-910 Format? Saw a report today that says KVIS is now C&W
from GOS/REL. Anyone on the [IRCA] list able to confirm or deny it?
Website
still has the “King’s Vision” logo but the stream doesn’t work. 73
Wayne Heinen N0POH, Editor, NRC AM Radio Log, Aurora, CO

gh: I monitored it May 29-30, see my previous reports not repeated
here. Now in July, I can`t get anything vs summer storm levels plus
high local noise level about S9! So I asked our monitor in Tulsa,
Chris Krug, to check, and here is our correspondence about it:

July 8: Hi Chris, I wonder if you could check something out, at your
convenience in the next week? For the NRC AM Log we are trying to
determine the current slogan/ID and format of KVIS 910 Miami OK. I
have a hard time hearing it especially with the summer/storm noise
levels. It`s same direxional pattern day and night and looks like it
would favor Tulsa. Tnx,
Glenn

July 9: Things are great here Glenn! I`ve been listening this morning
since 1220 UT, seems to be a non-stop loop of Christian soft rock
(actually, every song sounds very much like the last). I was able to
Shazam a couple songs (“Testimony”-Kate Hill 1253, “Snakes in the
Grass” - Kate Hill 1256), no ID at the BOH nor the TOH. Still going at
1307, no announcers between songs and no ID thus far. I’ll check more
through the week. 73 Chris KC5IIE

July 15: Well, Glenn, I wish I had something definitive to add here. I
listened each day for the past week at various times of the day,
sometimes in the shack and from my truck. When on the air, they play a
non-stop loop of Christian pop music. I did note however, on Jul 11
(1200 UT) there was just a carrier with no programing. They were back
on the 12th, but completely gone (no carrier, no programing) at 1500
UT on Jul 13. Back on 1145 UT on the 14th, but I did note an empty
carrier again at 1300 UT later that morning. They are back on this
morning (Jul 15). It seems like there’s a lack of human oversight
here… Have a great week! Chris KC5IIE

July 16: Chris, Many tnx for all your monitoring. Deadline is July 20
so if you have anything to add --- like if they ever announce or ID.
That`s the same situation I had when I did hear it for over an hour
several weeks ago [all music, album trax with pauses, no announcements
or IDs whatsoever for over an hour including hourtops]. Lately too
much storm noise. 73, Glenn

July 17: Sure thing Glenn, I checked it a couple times yesterday and
will continue to do so through the week. It seems to be audible after
630 AM CT; I haven`t been able to copy in the evenings. Have a great
week! 73 Chris KC5IIE

July 19: Interesting change this morning on this. I tuned in at 1132
UT to hear the close of “Headlines Through a Catholic Lens”, followed
by discussion of daily prayer. The signal was very tough to copy, but
I believe I heard “This is Catholic Radio News” at 1143. The signal
pretty much gone by 1200 (I was hoping for that elusive ID). This
afternoon they’re back to nonstop music. Google shows the Catholic
Radio Network is based in KC, MO and has affiliates in Kansas,
Colorado and Missouri, no reference to KVIS though, and no affiliate
on 910 kc. I’ll check it out again in the AM. 73 Chris KC5IIE

July 20: False alarm, Glenn, the station I copied yesterday (and
today) is KATH in Frisco, TX, TOH ID with slogan “Radio for your
Soul”, affiliate of
the Guadalupe Radio Network at 1200 UT. I think KVIS is still playing
nonstop music (as I copied late yesterday). 73 Chris KC5IIE

Ada; 10-2 KTEN-CW; 10-3 KTEN-ABC; all in solid so Enid local K17JN-D
must be off. Meanwhile have had BAD signal on 17, which may also have
been KTEN before it got a boost. Fixed antenna toward OKC also favors
Ada almost.

Reminds me of KTEN`s situation long ago in analog era really on 10:
one signal, but sharing NBC and ABC programming, apparently
cherry-picking. Networx must have put up with it, as was long a
2-station market with KXII 12 Ardmore, which also did a share, IIRC,
CBS and NBC. At least without cable, this area a bit too far from OKC,

I am currently operating a coordinated CW propogation beacon on the 10
meter band at 28,214,700 MHz. The construction of the beacon was a
collaborative effort between myself and my father N9JL.

The beacon consists of a beacon keyer circuit that uses an Arduino Uno
to key the radio. I programmed the arduino to transmit the location of
the beacon (EN51VM) as well as my callsign. The beacon operates at a
power of 5W using a Cushcraft ASQ-10 square halo antenna mounted
approximately 20 feet in the air.

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed July 19 at 2200 tune-in, no token English from
SNR, but continues Spanish in progress; about political parties`
positions, debates. No doubt because of big elexion coming up July 23.
Beware of policy changes at REE, as its director, the SW/DX-friendly
Antonio Buitrago, is retiring from RTVE at yearend, but has already
turned over REE leadership to Luis Manuel Fernández Iglesias, who has
been head of the foreign languages department. Buitrago took over in
2018 and is credited with reviving SW which his predecessor had
decided to cancel, per a report in the AER group (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, July 19 at 2200, no signal direct from VOT
English; nor into UTwente when checked around 2220. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Monday July 17, DXMAPs show some sporadic E FM DX reaching
OK, so out to the car in the not yet too hot garage, on the Nissan
Sentra 2004 stock caradio with fender vertical antenna only, so no
antenna manipulation but disfavoring horizontal-only stations, if any;
all logs in real time with my own ears, one frequency at a time, no
RDS capability, no recording, no internet for stream comparisons; but
research later from my scribbled notes, mainly the excellent WTFDA FM
Database, also in general searching if needed.

All times strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP
and antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz
and vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from distancefromto.net.
Showing distance does not necessarily make a log more definite, but
FYI.

I do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not, and
am not in a competition. Each DX log I view as a potential learning
experience. Clarifications, correxions welcome. All times strictly UT!
In four sessions, 1554-1640, 1658-1720, 1759-1817, 2026-2108.

As happens too often, instead of Es in the ~1000 mile range, I`m
getting tropo from no further than Shreveport, but still plenty of DX!
No Es until the fourth session, and only one definite log at the end
of this report, from WBJC 91.5 Baltimore.

Along the way I have noted some OK-area stations which are in MONO.
Altho there is a field, MODE, for this in the WTFDA FM Database, it`s
often missing. This and misc. other info should update the FMDB if
editors take note of my logs:

93.7 at 1554, song in Spanish: can`t be KSPI Stillwater, something has
captured, 1555 ``escuchas Don Cheto al Aire``, again at 1559; 1600 ID

Krum is a town on edge of The Metroplex, N of Ft Worth, just W of
Denton where I35 remerges E/W into one northward; better known as
abode of DXer John Callarman. KNOR is the call foolishly abandoned by
1400 Norman OK to rebrand as KREF like in referee/sports nonsense.
Here maybe it connote Norteñ@. I think Don Cheto is on a national net

94.5 at 1555, AC (469), 1556 Kroger ad; 1600 ``Majic 94-5``. Foolishly

Friday on station. Pratt KS ad. 1638 Hays KS ad. A bit far from Hays
for semi-local right over the OK border, but site is further north and
it`s the only KS full-power on 98.3. Mere translator K252EY Concordia

Sekulow Show with large affiliate list, only fit:

101.5 at 1634, not our nearby Okeene OK in Spanish religious, rather
commercial en ``101.5 y 93.9``, ads, Estrellas Jalisco, ``La
Mexicana``, Wendy`s in English, Spanish music; not TX but KS:

This is a rather convoluted situation; WTFDA info for 101.5 I heard:
KSMM relays:KMML 92.9 101.5 LIBERAL KS Silent Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN
LA MEXICANA 100.0 165.0 37-03-20 100-48-40 40CC - Silent 4/28/22; xmtr

Well, 101.5 is NOT silent any more. I`m sure they jointly IDed with
93.9, not 92.9, so that would be as listed but unheard:
KZRD 93.9 DODGE CITY KS Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN LA MEXICANA 100.0
246.0 37-55-56 100-19-02 // KSMM 101.5
The trouble is, KMML originator? Is on 102.1 NOT 92.9, also unheard:
KMML 102.1 CIMARRON KS Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN LA MEXICANA 40.0 166.0
37-46-48 100-27-38 //KSMM 101.5
The ONLY 92.9 in KS is unrelated, English, Country, in Osage City, but
with suspicious call KMXN! All per WTFDA; FCC, R-L not checked.

91.7 at 1637, note that near-local KOSU OKC, is MONO and presumably
all-daytime during public radio/NPR talk; $ tereo all-night with `The
Spy` music. ~83/50 --- 1640-1658 I take a break.

93.7 at 1700 ID ``KXKS-FM, Shreveport-Bossier, Townsquare Media``, has
overtaken KNOR TX above in Spanish, and near KSPI OK:

97.3 at 1709, EWTN, the little RCC station SW of OKC, 1 kW and
inaudible except with tropo; in for quite a while before & after:

102.7 at 1720, soft rock in $ full quieting; can it be KJYO OKC which
has been inaudible on low power? and/or desensitizing by local 103.1
KOFM? but now tropo boost. After lunch break until 1759, at 1804
Asian? language rock so maybe else? NO, it is ``KJ103`` OKC soon ID:

104.5 at 1809, normally dominant Mooreland/Woodward gospel huxter has
CCI, mention 42nd Street, ads for StevensSolutions.biz, holyaroma.com
https://www.stephenssolutions.biz/ is the only spelling that worx,
about digital marketing? Own website with broken linx! and no physical
location. holyaroma.com, really weird, sells frankincense imported
from Dhafar, Oman; myrrh from Somalia; amber from Lithuania; dragon
blood from Socotra Island, Yemen. As oil, resin or powder. Phone
country code 668 which = Thailand; if it were area code, somewhere in
Mexico. This also seems religious, but no fits in KS or OK. I am
tempted to think it`s this low-power 2.5 kW, not far from Shreveport
LA as definitely earlier, opening have moved on from The Metroplex:
KJTX 104.5 JEFFERSON TX URBAN GOSPEL KJ 104 2.5 157.0 32-49-23

101.3 at 1815, (918) AC, ``-- you know, songs you love, K-1-0-1``;
again at 2040, McAlester ad, weather, K101, so instead of Wichita or
Lawton, now:
KMCO 101.3 WILBURTON OK COUNTRY K-101 FM 100.0 188.0 34-59-13 95-42-10
2FF2 KMCO 101.3 This is today's country 284/177

93.5 at 1816, Ellis County Rodeo. It so happens that there are Ellis
counties in OK, TX, KS! No 93.5 fits for OK: Gage/Shattuck; TX:
Waxahachie S of Fort Worth; so must be my regular fringer not too far
from Hays in Ellis County, Kansas, as also ``My Country``, i.e.:
KKDT 93.5 BURDETT KS COUNTRY MY COUNTRY 93.5 95.0 304.8 38-36-32
99-42-12 248/154

Time for a break but keeping an eye on DXMAPs, sporadic E again
supposedly reaching OK and by midafternoon maybe the tropo will have
further abated; resuming at 2026 now in the hot garaged car:

94.5 at 2027, unID local weather from somewhere but without any local
references, grrr! and CCI, rock. One of my `open` freqs for Es. At
2037, ``AFT`` seems like partial call but no matches even fuzzy.

94.1 at 2028, Es? CCI here too, ad mentions ``wa-wa``. 2030 an Audacy
[not Odyssey!] station call like WYVA but can`t find anything even
similar; talk. Audacy provides no quick-ref station list, but top
searches go to WIP Philadelphia, sports; some others are musical.
WTFDA lacks any data about ownership, group or otherwise! FWIW:

106.1 at 2044, CCI, ``I-24 and Arkansas River``. 106.1 I would assume
Tulsa and the Ark. River goes thru there, but no known hwy 24, state,
US or Interstate. I-24 runs SE from IL, never crossing the Ark. River.
The only possible correlation but without any 106.1 would be US 24
circa Buena Vista CO and the headwaters of that great river. BTW, they
insist on pronouncing it BEW-nuh, VISS-tuh.

** U S A. 96.7, July 19 at 2019 UT as I am driving away on an errand
and not expecting any DX at temp 97F, caradio happens to be tuned here
to a strong steady station, plugs AdAstraradio.com for weather,
``border to border``; mentions `MPK`? Country music and 2028 ``Real
Country``; 2036 ad for something in nearby Hoisington. Gone by 2100.
Quite a grandiose name for a Kansas group of ``hometown`` stations
including this one on 96.7, but must have changed format:
KMPK 96.7 MCPHERSON KS ADULT CONTEMPORARY MIX 96.7 6.0 75.0 38-20-30
97-40-12 3140

95.3 also has a bigsig capturing frequency from KOKC OKC translator,
July 19 at 2030, Mytownmedia.com with news about Kansas. Website has
all-important hyphen, otherwise would have to pay $ 8K+ for site. Among
many stations classified by format and live-linked found this one on
95.3: https://mytown-media.com/listen-live/news-talk/ i.e.
KWKN The Cowboy, ``Hays``. The group`s towns may not match city of
license; they even put 98.3 Kiowa in ``Wichita``!
KWKN 95.3 WAKEENEY KS TALK/SPORTS 95.3 THE COWBOY 100.0 158.0 39-15-57

But there is one other on 95.3,
https://mytown-media.com/listen-live/classic-mix/ i.e. Z 95.3 FM KINZ,
``Chanute``, which is in SE KS, so I suppose PTA of ``Hays`` be more

** U S A. DTV Tropo DX bandscan, July 19 around 0530 UT, too late to
explore in detail: BAD signals on many `open` channels and some
`closed` *channels have become BAD due to DX QRM: 6, 7, 9, 10, 14, 17,
20, 21, *23, *29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36. Whenever there is anything on 6
into my highband VHF antenna toward OKC, it`s got to be KBSD
Ensign/Dodge City KS. 17 presumably local K17JN-D Enid still
underpowered and not decoding, regardless of DX. 7, KOCO OKC for ABC
often no decode either regardless of DX. Only these in Tulsa market do
decode: 11 KOED, 22-KOKI, 28-ION. Strangely, no signal from 26-KOTV.

Also some tropo next morning, 1524 UT July 19: BAD sigs on RF 10, 11,
26. Bootup time for Zenith STB DTV converter varies: this time it took
22 seconds for Blue eye to show after turn-on from Red eye; and
another 6 seconds to kick in as seen on screen (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
