Hauser
** CUBA. 9700, July 5 at 0627, RHC English VG S9+20 on extra frequency
tonight, nowhere else; talking about baseball players, not currently
but historically in the 30s, 40s, etc., as DDC would remind us, all
the talented ones have fled Cuban Communism. Cannot detect any QRM,
but Romania may have just closed if not totally covered; and NZ stays
away this time. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 28, July 5 at 1735 UT, Enid on edge of some OK tropo
eastward so a bandscan: surprised on RF 28 remapping to be getting
``2-11``, KJRH `2 News at Noon`, decoding for a few minutes. Its prime
RF has long been on channel 8, not to be confused with original analog
competitor on 8, KTUL. RF 28 is really KTPX Okmulgee, primarily ION as
44-1, not unusual to be getting that. Now rabbitears.info does show
02-11 on 28.4 as KJRH-TV, the rest of the 28s being ION and the usual
assortment of shopping and rerun channels. Searching on callsign KJRH
still leads only to RF 8 Tulsa; we have to go directly to KTPX to
explore its other hidden channels topped by 02-11 KJRH. And why such a
high number -11? on Physical 28 there are .10 lower subchannels, but
no reason for KJRH on 28.4 to be called 2-11. Its own extensive
website has nothing labeled as basic tech info such as which
channel[s] it`s really on and from where! not even under About Us,
https://www.kjrh.com/antenna which is pushing antenna equipment in
general. Seems that more and more, a single ``station`` appear on more
than one ``channel`` in same market. CBS for Tulsa, KOTV ``6`` is on
three different UHF channels (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11800, July 5 at 2255, RRI concluding VG English hour into
UTwente, cut short during contact info at 2255.6*; something`s gone
wrong at Galbeni, in too big a hurry to change beams for Spanish at
2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed July 5 at 2200, token English from SNR, skips any
news; is this a holiday? and right into feature, interviewing four
Spaniards who are expats in other countries, starting with Poland.
S9+5/15 into Maryland SDR, also detecting that the other three
frequencies are not off the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.023, July 4, continued from previous report
that bonus German from VOT was still running post-English, at 2316:
completed at 2352, into IS, still not turned off; 2356 restart IS, now
with Portuguese IDs. Still listening via UTwente. ```Stão ouvindo
Rádio TRT, Voz de Türkiye`` in Luso accent, not Brasilian.

I have no idea how we are supposed to spell ``Türkiye`` in PP. Are we
allowed to render it closer fonetikaly, like ``Túrquilhe``?? In
Portuguese there is no confusion with that low-IQ bird, which they
call ``Peru``! That opens a whole nother can of worms if that country
were as touchy as Recep. Spanish has a whole bunch of other names for
the bird per Google translate: pav@ [that means either -a or -o
depending on gender], el guajolote, el chompipe, el pato mareado,
el patoso.

July 5 UT: 0000 timesignal only 6 sex late as received, s/on in PP,
and still on past 0030, still squealing and +23 Hz offset transmitter.
We get the *whole* extra hour of PP as well as GG. That sort of
compensates for RHC failure to Portuguize at 2200 on 15230, tho I
doubt there were any collusion.

0056 resumes IS, now with IDs in Spanish, but chopped off air finally
TWO hours late at 0058*, as if intentional, uncovering a much weaker
S7 signal, still sync-locking now on 11785.000 - likely listed CNR
Xian, or CNR-2 Xianyang, which was already on air but totally covered
by TRT.

Somethings` always erroneous at Emirler if not awry at Ankara. Latest
A23 WRTH Update #13 July 1 still shows NO Portuguese at all on SW from
VOT, but Spanish at 0100 on 7260 & 9870: unknown when I was
monitoring, to check whether either be active. German: only 1130 on
15350; 1730 on 9840. Perhaps somewhere on website be total 24h sked of
langs on program feed line, beyond the scope of WRTH (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.019, July 5 after 2200, VOT English is not
off the air, S9+40/45 into UTwente, somewhat undermodulated and
distorted, does not compare well to neighbor RRI English on 11800.000
which is louder and clearer. 2212 `Review of the Tuerkiyeish Press`,
something about an AI radio demonstration in Geneva? 2214, `Whipping
Piles/Gripping Files`, could not understand the topic; 2218
multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2220 `Weekly Commentary` about Turkey,
Sweden, PKK and NATO; 2243, `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` on
treating gas problems in babies; 2250 music. 2253 usual canned
sign-off; 2255 IS about once and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2197 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
July 4 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+15 into Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday July 5 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490-, noisy S6/S9
into Maryland SDR. Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

Thanks this week to Ron Howard, Monterey, California for a check to
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, ``In memory of Noel Green. I
remember all the times he helped me with Radio Pakistan info [he was
an official monitor in the UK]. Thanks for all your help over the
Decades!``

** VANUATU. 7260, July 5 at 0629, NO signal from RV, nor on 7890,
11835 which would be harmonix of 3945. Here we go again; where is it,
when will it resume somewhere? Manuel Méndez, Spain and Ron Howard,
California agree no signal this date but on July 4 it was on with
carrier only, no modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7834 USB, July 5 at 0630, very weak 2-way seems Spanish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated July 4
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

** CANADA. 15034 USB, July 4 at 2220 UT, CHR, a listed callsign
Trenton Military, Ontario, never utters with ID, ``time: 1820Z`` as
it`s still giving EDT and calling it UT!! Std remark about Forces
accuracy. To make matters worse, followed by ``No report received``
from: Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and the list repeated
for good measure. But the wx obs and forecast times seem correct in Z.
Something`s always terribly wrong at Trenton (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 17880, July 4 at 2217, Chinese music S3/S6. Is CRI Spanish
to S America beamed NW 318 degrees from Beijing site, a long way
across Eurasia, Atlantic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 21490 & 21530, July 4 at 2214, JBA Chinese and carrier, the
OSOBs, i.e. CNR1 jammers as Aoki lists both with nothing but * and
Sound of Hope but not until 2300. Likewise, EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, July 4 at 1432, RHC, S8/9+10 flanked by +/- ~4 kHz
much weaker but obvious parasitic spurs which I measure individually,
15136.982 and 15144.023; but each wavering so let`s just say 15135.98V
and 15144.02V. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, July 4 at 2222, RHC with S3/S5 of dead air. Supposed
to be in Portuguese from 2200; sorry, brasileiros, no Commie
propaganda today. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7570, Tue July 4 at 0652, WRMI-11 is OFF,
unusual; or, not any more, as latest skedgrid dated July 1 specifies
7570 on air, with TOMBS at 04-11 UT on Sat & Sun only; that leaves
14-15 and 00-04 daily. The 04-11 S/S only now also applies to WRMI-14
on 5010. Additional restrixions to S/S only TOMBS: 11-15 on WRMI-13
7780; 13-15 on WRMI-12 5850. And extended 15-16 on Sabbathdays only:
9955, 7780, 7570, 5850, 5010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.023, July 4 at 2245, VOT English with bit by the
badaccentedess, S9+35/45 into UTwente with squeal. Must narrow
bandwidth below 4 kHz to mimimize it. Probably different transmitter
than the .009 one with no squeal. 2252 theme and outro `Weekly
Commentary``: you never in what order or what hourpart any individual
feature may appear. 2253 jumbled s/off, 2254 IS. 2256 restart IS, now
with German IDs interspersed. 2300 TS and whoopee, a bonus German
Sendung today, until?? Still going at 2316. Earlier check direct at
2210 was only S3/S8 with squeal, news item about carbon-neutral,
sports. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2197 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday July 4
at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 direct: with usual intrusion by Jeff`s
attempt to sell a receiver, ``The World is in turmoil...` between ID
and WORplay. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

** FRANCE. UNIDENTIFIED. 13690-13695-13700, July 2 at 2206, DRM noise
at S9 direct. Not listed anywhere, Aoki, EiBi, latest HFCC nor even
DRMrx. Suspect another DEMO TDF from FRANCE as a few days ago on
17755-17760-17765, nor listed anywhere, unrechecked now. Issoudun also
uses 13695 other dayparts in AM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 13690-13695-13700, July 3 at 2228 I remember just in time
to recheck for yesterday`s unID DRM: into Virginia SDR it is indeed
another DEMO TDF at 8.08 kbps, ex-17755-17760-17765 no longer there.
Off abruptly at 2230* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Re: ``Area tropo is up per APRS map, reaching Enid from
west,
south, east. RF 14, June 27 at 1520 UT, brief decode with PSIP ID for
KOCY as 48-3. That`s Telemundo, unnecessary since is also on a much
stronger subchannel of RF 29 KTUZ...``

Correxion, I meant to say it`s Estrella TV, not Telemundo. However,
this is no longer the case! Punch 48 or 48-3 and you get nowhere. Per
rabbitears.info, Estrella is only on lowpower KOCY-LD RF14. It`s still
Tyler Media, but among the 7 programs on RF29 KTUZ ``Shawnee`` are
Telemundo, Univision, and Unimas, no Estrella. Which means in effect
we can no longer get it in Enid as it`s not on any tier of Optimum
cable either. It was clearly an inferior net to UV and TM, with even
more lowbrow programming.

Lots of ondemand stuff here, and en vivo just playing one promo over
and over before supposedly joining programming, like novelas, silly
game and talk shows:
https://www.estrellatv.com/
HQ in Burbank CA, apparently not a Mexican subsidiary.

And my Zenith settopbox has resumed flashing on in only about 5
seconds instead of 5 or 6 times that long (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon July 3 at 2200, token M/W/F English from SNR;
2206 first feature is interview about a dance inspired by the first
trans-woman to undergo such surgery, in Denmark; 2217 second feature
about olive oil. VG to Maryland SDR and //s not checked (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** THAILAND [and non]. In last report I omitted one important step in
the discussion of 13750, replaced here:

...Yes, I heard them talking about events in Thailand. I hope to check
again at 0200 for their next English half-hour. Harold

*** Yes, it was CGTN Radio = CRI in English until 0100 on 13750,
replaced at 0100 by much stronger Deewa Radio = VOA Pashto which is
via Thailand, at 0100-0400 per Aoki. That could be a problem for R.
Thailand any later than now. Glenn ***

Heard again via the Indonesia SDR. Radio Thailand signing on in
English at 0200 on 13750. ID heard, but VOA Radio Deewa was stronger.
Radio Thailand needs to try another frequency. Harold Sellers, Vernon,
BC

As also noted here via Jak. If these are both really from Udon Thani
site, what a mess. Nobody noticed they already had a program on 13750?
Even if different sites, unacceptable. Maybe to Harold direct RT in
English rules? Later after 0200: no signal direct to here from
anything on 13750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, July 2 after 2200, VOT English confirmed not off the
air today in quick check, but only fair direct (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004?, July 3 about *2200.7, VOT carrier cuts on late
as seen via UTwente, but right off again and never comes back for at
least 30 minutes. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17530, Mon July 3 at 1915, S9+10 of dead air, obviously VOA
Grimesland NC, scheduled for French at 1930-2030 following 1700-1830
English. Do they leave it on for a whole hour in between? Better not:
1830-1900 M-F is Kinyarwanda via Ascension. VOA uses 17530 in several
more languages and sites starting at 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2197 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
July 2 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+10/20 into
nearby Noale SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 3 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into
Louisiana SDR, first 14 seconds holding up better than before to
external noise blast.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 3 from 0303 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160 -67 Hz
= 6159.933, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, preceded by a `Pirates Cove`
episode from 2003! with Allan Weiner in Kennebunkport, totally outdated
frequency of ``5105``; intermission feature an ancient clip of yours
truly non-singing a ``Slinky`` tune. Next:

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

Thanks this week to Ron Howard, Monterey, California for a check to
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, ``In memory of Noel Green. I

** CHINA [and non]. 13720, July 2 at 1347, very rough carrier here
with some talk, tone. Aoki & EiBi show this hour has CNR1 or Firedrake
jamming and RFA Tibetan via TAJIKISTAN. BTW, RFA Tibetan is making a
whole bunch of frequency changes July 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. Sound of Hope and consequently CNR1 jammers are attracted to
frequencies ending in XX920: July 2 at 1443, JBA carrier on 14920,
then on 15920 instead; and also on slightly stronger 13920 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, July 2 at 1347, no signal direct from RHC.
Consequently no huge spurblobs out of that transmitter either. I`m
seldom monitoring before 1400 so make a point to check this today,
since nominal sked was 1100-1400. Searching archive of reports I do
not find anyone else reporting at least 13700 for many months. Seems
at least one RHC transmitter be permanently off. Other frequencies
AWOL are 11880 afternoons, 6060 and 6100 evenings/nights (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, July 2 at 0639, JBA talk vs S9 HSNL,
presumably anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH; tnx to tips from Lucas
Bandura, Walt Salmaniw and Eric Fetters-Walp on the WOR iog who were
still hearing him around 0630, much later than usual.

7400, July 2 at 0640, JBA carrier here too, presumably Radio Eastern
Star or whatever currently named (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 96.9, July 2 at 1658 UT, futile bandscan for Es can`t
help but notice that local KQOB is in dead air for 2+ minutes, but
remodulating by 1702 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 15460, Sun July 2 at 1442, S7/9+10 algo just
barely modulated. Only listed this hour is VOA in Kirundi/Kinyarwanda
on weekends only. Before 1400 it`s RBAustralia in English daily (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** THAILAND. Compilation of posts on the bdxc-uk, odxa and WOR iogs

?? Does this mean all broadcasts in their own language, Thai, are
canceled? Why don`t they say so? Check 13750 at 0030-0200. The others
are more or less as in B-22 WRTH. A hotlink heading the sked goes to
disgraced FB, not even to own website. Glenn

Yes, only Radio Saranrom continues on 1575 kHz. There's an unfortunate
error in
https://wrth.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/WRTH23_INT_Summer_13.pdf
1330-1400 9940 kHz should also be in English, not Thai. Mauno

Yes. This question was asked on their Facebook page: ".....But will
there be no more Thai programs in the future?" And Radio Thailand
World Service responded:
"And yes, we will no longer have Thai program from Jul, 1st." 73 Alan

Coming in well on an SDR in Indonesia at 0005 UTC, in English, on new
13750.
Harold Sellers, Vernon, BC

Jakarta is still getting a noisy signal on 13750 at 0037, something in
English about China. Well, HSK9 English used to be 30 + 30 minutes
from 0000. What will happen at 0100? Glenn

0047: I have not listened closely but it may well be CRI, per Aoki
00-01 this hour in English on 13750. Is Harold sure it was Thailand at
0000, no China QRM either?

Thailand had been on 15590 per Aoki but nothing there now. Was
0000-0030 English, 0030-0100 Thai, 01-02 break, 0200-0230 English.
Glenn

Yes, I heard them talking about events in Thailand. I hope to check
again at 0200 for their next English half-hour. Harold

Heard again via the Indonesia SDR. Radio Thailand signing on in
English at 0200 on 13750. ID heard, but VOA Radio Deewa was stronger.
Radio Thailand needs to try another frequency. Harold Sellers, Vernon,
BC

As also noted here via Jak. If these are both really from Udon Thani
site, what a mess. Nobody noticed they already had a program on 13750?
Even if different sites, unacceptable. Maybe to Harold direct RT in
English rules? Later after 0200: no signal direct to here from
anything on 13750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, July 1 at 2215, VOT is not off the air, rather
VG modulation and S9+25/35 signal into UTwente; something about
Dracula? I`m mainly monitoring elsewhere but a few chex here: 2225
multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2241 something about cheese. s/off and
IS chopped before completed even once at 2254.7* No finesse!
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4750, July 2 at 0643, CODAR ID firing thrice as I happen to
pass here in bandscan, ends in 5 and presumably the usual WRPV785 in
California: so the `schedule` should be at :43, :03 and :23 past each
hour. Like CODAR swirshing itself, these IDs are very wideband, not on
one discrete CW frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2197 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
July 1 at 2230:30 on WRMIs: 15770 S9+10 to Virginia SDR; at 2251, VG
S9+10/20 into UTwente; 5850 JBA in HSNL to Virginia; and 7730 still
AWOL.

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 2 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S7/9+10 into
Louisiana SDR, starting as always on 7780 with a rude QRM blast for
first 14 seconds.

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 2 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/30 into
Missouri but with lite warble RTTY? QRM I have not noted before vs
9395.

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 2 from 0411 the 0315v on WA0RCR, 1860
AM, MO, but again with heavy local storm crashes.

Also confirmed Sunday July 2 at 1346 the 1330 on WRMI 9955, S8/9
direct, no jamming audible. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW
0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW

from LRA36, but at 1807, S5/S7 into best Argentine SDR, music; 1827
after pause, CW ID starting with LRA36, then voice ID, and
multi-lingual RAE ID reel. Manuel Méndez, Spain had got confirmation
from station it would be on air today, unlike previous Wed and Sat.
But I`m distracted by John Adams` ``Nixon in China``, this week`s
opera on KUCO. At 1911, LRA36 peaking S9+10 with tango, ¿Gardel? By
2000 peaking only S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, July 1 at 1513, S9/+10 of dead air and still at 1524
from RHC. What about the only other scheduled midday frequency, 15140?
At 1517 it`s S6/S7 with Spanish undermodulation cutting on and off, a
great improvement! Wiggle that patchcord. Somethings` always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRELAND. 8957 USB, July 1 at 0557, JBA VOLMET in YL voice, synth?
It`s Shannon, 24 hours here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 8828 USB, July 1 at 0554, weak VOLMET. Auckland is
scheduled starting at :50 and :20 past every hour, per EiBi. 8828 is
timeshared with Tokyo at :10 and :40, Hongkong at :15 and :45. If each
be 5 minutes max, that leaves open :00 & :30, :05 & :35, :25 & :55
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 9700, Saturday July 1 at 0600, NZ news, VG
S9/+10, new for July? But still on 11725 //, S9+10/20. No, current
websked shows 11725 only. Presumably test as normally they never run
both transmitters at same time in AM. 9700 is sked elsewhen in AM,
1651-1958 except Sats. By 0602, there is SAH from another carrier on
9700. That would be RRI in German. There could be a 3-way collision if
RHC happened to be here, but not tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 90.1, KUCO FM, our classical station, keeps
jumbling its programming around; will it ever settle down?
https://www.kucofm.com/program-grid/
I was getting into `Performance Today` which they picked up a couple
months ago, but now it`s gone again, replaced by local origination
without explanation. Of course we can still hear PT via
https://www.yourclassical.org/performance-today
or on some other webcasting station. Huge listing here but each must
be confirmed:
http://publicradiofan.com/cgibin/program.pl?programid=360

Long-running `The Score` from Portland, filmusic, has just been
replaced on KUCO by `Reel Music` another cinematic co-produced by KBAQ
Phœnix and WDAV Davidson NC, Fri 19-20 & Sat 16-17 UT. KUCO says due
to unexpected price hike by The Score. We can still get that from HQ
station KQAC both Sat & Sun at 21-22 UT. Brit EdmUnd Stone has a more
erudite style. Reel guy Matt Rogers inserts drive-in movie promos,
like go get food and drink, but the music is still VG. This `Reel
Music` is as yet unknown? to publicradiofan.com. An ``eclectic`` show
of same name is listed for WETS in TN, but unfound on its own
schedule. PRF shows it on only one different station, KMUC in MO,
Fridays at 19-20 UT. It is still sked there on KMUC, HD2 subsidiary of
KBIA Columbia.
See: https://kbaq.org/reelmusic
Same time as KQAC on Sat at 21-22 is yet another cinemusic show, `Film
At Five` on WCLV. It used to be repeated 7 hours later = 05 UT in
winter but no more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UQKOGBANI. 11253 USB, July 1 at 0615, VOLMET by YL voice, synth?
EiBi shows this is RAF from site ic which means ``one of: Inskip
(Lancashire) 53N50-02W50 / St. Eval (Cornwall) 50N29-05W00 / Crimond
(Aberdeenshire) 57N37-01W53`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790, July 1 at 1520, S7/S9 dead air or maybe trace of mod,
from WRMI- , S American service of ``Radio Africa`` as forced by
circumstance of continued loss of eastward antenna, ``Pan American
Broadcasting`` is axually PanAm instead of PanAf. Something`s odd at
Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
