** CUBA. 11845, June 30 at 0658, pulse jamming against nothing by the incompetent and horribly wasteful DentroCuban Jamming Command on a frequency Radio Martí abandoned many years ago and then was only in daytime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. Tnx to RRR for replying to this: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 17755-17760-17765, June 28 at 2216, loud DRMish noise but metering S3, nothing listed now in HFCC, EiBi or Aoki, but CRI in DRM on 17760 at 07-09; RRI also uses 17760 at other times but only AM. After 2300 I try various KiwiSDRs with DRM enabled, but nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)`` ``Hi Mr Hauser, That signal was TDF, yesterday at the same time I could hear them. In the last months several DRM tx from TDF at various times and frequencies: 6.010, 6.040 and 6.100 khz at 0000 UTC 9.740, 11.675 at 0600 UTC 17.760 at 2200 UTC Usually programs of half an hour and presents RFI's program. Rafael Rodriguez R., Bogotá D.C.-COLOMBIA`` with Imagen integrada screenshot labeled DEMO TDF. Strange not in HFCC or anywhere; daily? 17755-17760-17765, June 30 at 2207, I try this myself, and there it is, VG into Maryland SDR in DRM mode. In French, not listening for long but seems 100%. Again labeled DEMO TDF, 8.8 kbps; off at 2230*. Even here the embedded DRM sked lax this tho has some other frequencies for TDF (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Friday June 30 at 2205, token English from SNR after news is interview with a cookbook author: so it`s a good day for me to pay attention to TURKEY instead. First I note this is S9/+10 VG into Maryland SDR which can also hear 15520, 17715 and 11670 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 30 at 2211, VOT is S9+40/45 into UTwente, VG signal and modulation today. After news, `Weekly Analysis` by some professor whose name and institution I can`t possibly copy; about Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Baltix, NATO OK for Finland but not Sweden without more concessions to Turkey over PKK. Nothing new here. 2216 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` about preventing gastrointestinal infexions with symptoms such as womiting, diarrhea: start with washing hands frequently. 2224 `TRT always by your side` promo, song. 2227 another song. 2229* dumps off the air! by *2233 back on amid `Did You Know That` by the badaccentedess, something about chestnuts. 2235 song. 2238 another song. 2242 `every hour with you everywhere` promo, song. 2246 another song. 2250 s/off a bit early by the badaccentedess as always jumbled curtailed sked about 4 other English emissions than this one. 2251.5 IS starts. 2256 pause and restart IS now with German IDs interspersed twice a minute. But chopped off air just in time at 2259.5* to avoid an extraneous German hour. And incredibly never heard even once today the 2-minute multilingual ID filler reel. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler and/or awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2197 monitoring: confirmed first SWBC, Friday June 30 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S5/S9 direct, no jamming audible. Also confirmed Friday June 30 at 2054 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz but not 918 or 207 kHz, S9+10/20 into nearby Noale SDR with a few storm crashes and slight CCI; 2059 ``S/off`` and continues with FSN. Next: 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW 2230 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE [& 7730? Has been off air again] 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW 0130 UT Sunday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0245vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0457] 1330 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also phonecast, webcast][jammed by Cuba?] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 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 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!`` One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. I`ve been checking Allan Weiner on Twitter for any hints about whether `AAAWWW` will be live this week, often misleading, but now June 30, disgraced Twitter won`t let me look at his without signing in and establishing my own account. Is this a fluke or a policy change by T or by BCQ? Tsk2 (7490-), UT Sat July 1 at 0000, WBCQ webcast seems like a new one: opening exclamation: ``Hot as hell!`` except most of June has been cool and rainy in northern Maine until some sunshine reached 80 rather than 60. Angela is remote on phone, i.e. back in Florida. Mostly talking about car touring, a fun thing for him, driving a Model T around Vermont with other enthusiasts. This happens every two years by the HCCA - Horseless Carriage Club of America. He`s into the ``brass era`` over 110 years ago. At 0026 I check the SW frequencies into Maryland SDR: 7490 -72 Hz = 7489.928; 6160 -68 Hz = 6159.932; also on: 5130 -22 Hz = 5129.978; and even 3265 + 132 Hz = 3265.132, JBA. By 0048 has drifted down to 3265.112. 0035 takes a phone call but blows her off as ``garbage``. 0036 finally does intro but no datestamp, confirming quadricasting. 0037 call from Leo on a cargo ship in the north Pacific who can`t pick up any of the SW frequencies. And soon another call. 0044, should we get political? Angela still wants to talk about car touring. 0053 reading email. 0058 a few new FRW items. 0059 quick prayer, but running overtime as usual past 0100, plug 4th of July, beyond that not getting political; what a relief; until JIP far-right Hal Turner about a sesquiminute late (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 30 at 0650, R. Vanuatu even stronger, S9/+10 and even impinging upon 7255 tuned for no Nigeria; ID in passing, plug about ``emergency broadcasts``, English words mixed in with Bislama; ``Radio Vanuatu ... blong yumi``, island music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0108 UT July 1

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Signs of sporadic E into FM band on DXMAPs, so out to the car to check. Once again, none of that reaching here, but there is tropo from as far as Shreveport. Major Tulsa stations such as 96.5 are in like locals, and some weaker ones not normally heard like 102.3 KRMG can also make it. In fact there is a huge, heavy and growing tropo blob over east TX, most of LA, AR and much of OK. Standard introduxion applies. UT Thursday June 29:

The trouble is, there is no 93.9 in Texarkana TX/AR, nor anywhere near in the quadristate area AR/LA/OK, but closest is this one in NE TX, 140 km = 87 miles away: KOYN 93.9 PARIS TX COUNTRY 50.0 150.0 33-49-36 95-27-49 3775 Title & Artist KOYN 93.9 Country 370/230 Texarkana Glass specializes in auto glass repair, apparently has no locations outside Texarkana TX except maybe Genoa AR just east of there.

WORLD OF RADIO 2196 monitoring: ``9395 WRMI FL Okeechobee w/Glenn Hauser World of Radio #2196 with the usual media news including news about Algeria w/EE ending @1940 on 15160 but no specifics are known.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, June 28 at 1814, it`s time for another Wednesday transmission of LRA36 --- but, no signal so far by 1934 into Argentine remote -- one of them that does get plenty else on its waterfall. Nor at final recheck 2046. Maybe Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, UT Wed June 28 at 0118, RAE in English via System G, WRMI-6 with DX Axuality log items in alfabetical order by country, Algeria, Antarctica, Bolivia, Canada, Congo, Liberia... sound familiar like a report from Manuel Méndez, Spain, and fairly recent, LRA36 as of June 17. At 0124 on to non-DX news headlines. 9455, UT Wed June 28 at 0120, I hear RAE with the same English announcer, but regular non-DX news, a separate episode! In both cases, musicbits inserted between items: god forbid one should have to listen to someone talking for a few minutes with no musical relief! Trouble is, System K on WRMI-5, 9455 is supposed per websked to be in `Legends` at 0000-0200! This is strange. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 15920 S1/S3, 15760 S4/S6 and 15340 S1/S4, June 28 at 2211-2214, Chinese talk, all CNR1 jammers vs Sound of Hope per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9535, June 28 at 0623, S8/S9 undermodulated Spanish, unusual for this RHC frequency to be running overtime; anything else? 11760, June 28 at 0627, RHC Spanish overtime instead of English again, S9/+10 with squeal. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, June 28 at 2215, JBA S4/S1 music, presumably Recep`s TRT jammer against Dengê Welat; no trace of any other signal below 17500, and not much except Spain above; higher priority than mere VOT, see TURKEY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11800, June 28 at 2207, RRI English is detected and on direct at S1/S4 so insufficient, but better than no Turkey neighbor on 11785 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed June 28 at 2200, token English from SNR, previews feature, interview with owner of a LGBTIQ+ bookstore, in today`s preferred initialism, which does start at 2206 after news. S9/S7 VG direct, and also on 15520, 17715 and even JBA 11670 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 28 at 2203 and 2233 chex, VOT English for us fails to put any signal into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 17640, June 28 at 0635, BBCWS in English, interview about elexions, the SSOB at S3/S6, 265 degrees from MADAGASCAR; // weaker 17830 which is 170 degrees from VATICAN. BBCWS typically operates in 1-hour blox per relay, like 06-07; in HFCC, 17640 gets another hour at 07-08 by switching to SAO TOME (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2196 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday June 27 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S7/S9 into UTwente, S9/+10 into Missouri SDR. Also confirmed Wednesday June 28 from 2059:59 on WBCQ 7490 -72 Hz = 7489.928, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR; clock and/or automation must have been reset instead of traditional Play :21 seconds after the hour. Next: 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [NEW] Thanks this week for generous financial support from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sent a quarterly seasonal check to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, June 28 at 0116, WRNO is again/still AWOL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, June 28 at 0632, WMLK still active here but JBA instead of blasting in; much weaker than several other 19 mb stations. Must be propagation as still VG into Europe per: ``[bdxc-news] WMLK 15150 kHz, Jun 28, Is this a new frequency? Currently hearing 555 English religious programming with very clear ID at 0700. Very strong signal. David J Morris, Lytchett Matravers, near Poole`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5980 & 5890, Wed June 28 at 0639, WWCR is OFF these frequencies as scheduled weeknights, unlike Tue when there was TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9265, Wed June 28 at 2210, WINB is JBA in HSNL but I can detect English intonation, not Spanish as claimed on mistimed program schedule, vv to yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 90.1, June 28 at 1455 UT, Radio Kansas, after emotional ``Nimrod`` by Elgar, special fund-raiser to ``buy three new transmitters --- it`s time``. One may get a newly redesigned mug for only $ 50. Well, this old transmitter of KHCC Hutchinson HQ station is still doing very well, completely capturing 90.1 from KUCO on a household radio, with a little help from the troposphere. The others are KHCD 89.5 Salina and KHCT 90.9 Great Bend, seldom heard here. WTFDA shows 100 kW ERP except for 50 on 90.9. Apparently just these with some overlap, no translators: https://radiokansas.com/coverage-area/ Details on the situation: https://radiokansas.com/ R. Kansas is an excellent classical/news station; only wish I could hear both it and KUCO on different frequencies. Tropo overnight also favored BBC News via KHCC instead of KUCO classical. 185 km = 115 stmi to site just east of Hutch. Plenty tropo on the APRS map now, so after 1500 UT June 28, a DTV scan finds BAD signals on RF: 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 20, 21, 26, 28, 31, 34, some of which correlate with Kansas. Unusual is 15 which must be DX QRM to OKC`s KOPX baddenizing it: presumably KSNW, 650 kW, ``3``, NBC for Wichita. The Zenith STB now takes 20/30 seconds to upboot after onturn (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU [and non]. 7260, June 28 at 0642, NO signal from R. Vanuatu, which had been reliable here; nor at 0645 on 7890, 11835 which would appear as harmonix if back on 3945. Anomaly, or another periodic schedule change for no particular reason? No Nigeria either 7255-. Agreeing: ``[bdxc-news] Radio Vanuatu off-air again --- Radio Vanuatu is off-air again. It was heard on 7260 kHz at 1830 UTC sign-on yesterday (27 June), but was absent by 0930 UTC today (28 June) on 7260 kHz or the alternatives of 3945 and 5040 kHz (sign-off would normally be at 1100v UTC). Still missing at the time of today’s expected sign-on at 1830 UTC (0530 Thursday in Vanuatu) Tony Rogers (using Brisbane KiwiSDR, Australia)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7400, June 28 at 0643, JBA carrier, suspect pirate R. Vostochnaya Zvezda with his few watts or whatever he`s calling it tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 17755-17760-17765, June 28 at 2216, loud DRMish noise but metering S3, nothing listed now in HFCC, EiBi or Aoki, but CRI in DRM on 17760 at 07-09; RRI also uses 17760 at other times but only AM. After 2300 I try various KiwiSDRs with DRM enabled, but nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 17946 USB, June 28 at 2218, a few fonetik words, military? Seldom hear any aero activity at all on this band, but EiBi shows a possibly busy channel: Azores, Ireland, NY, SF via AK or HI. Via Maui SDR at 2216 I do JB hear some more ATC comms, selcall tones (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0004 UT June 29

** CUBA. 11760, June 27 at 0646, RHC S9+10/20 in wrong? language, Spanish instead of usual extra English, only frequency still on air alternating with 9700 and 11670. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 11760, June 27 at 2203, S3/S7 of almost dead air except for squeal, presumably RHC Spanish; but the JBM music is not // 11850 which really is RHC Spanish doing much better than usual, S5/S8 undermod but sufficient. Therefore I think the music under 11760 be the simulscheduled CRI Portuguese from Xi`an to Europe, which of course is nothing but fill music even at hourtop like at 2300 on 13650 via Cuba. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17470, June 27 at 2150, JBA carrier direct, presumably Dengê Welat via Uzbekistan and/or more likely Recep`s Turkish jammer. Nothing else on 16m except Spain 17855, weaker 17715 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 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. Does not last long enough to explore what may be on 48-1, 48-2, 48-4 or beyond, but rabbitears.info shows it`s alone despite the -3 virtual enumeration. I`ve had traces of this before when OKC tropo enhances but not definite until now. It`s 15 kW, somewhat direxional northward since site is on south side of OKC, near SE 49th and Oklahoma Avenue. BAD signals are on RF 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 26, 31, 35. But there is no signal at all on RF 29, normally huge local-level from ``Shawnee`` with the three Spanish nets and some shoppers. Suspect KTUZ may really be off the air. It`s back by 1605 check. Some Tulsans are in, on RF 28, ION 44-1; and an RF 29 spoiler from there could be 15 kW KTZT-CD, Daystar for Tulsa, but unlikely. Other Bad signals decoding briefly long enough to ID are RF 34, 33-1 KWRW-LD OKC, Heartland et al., and RF 36, 36-1 KUOKCD1 [sic] OKC, Univision also duplicated on RF 29 KTUZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 99 MHz Es MUF in spots leads me to the caradio for a check, but nonesuch here, rather tropo is up. On 93.5 I normally get fringer from Kansas to the north, but June 27 at 1732 UT I happen to catch an ad for ``right here in Altus`` and then ``K-pro 93.5 Altus``. WTFDA FMDB shows it relays KWHW 1450, but no mention of it now! KPRO KWHW 1450 93.5 ALTUS OK ROCK KPRO ROCKS 45.0 88.0 34-37-35 99-20-10 4AE4 235 km = 146 miles. I had several days` logs of KWHW x 2 on 2899.75 in May 2015. Altus also has the distinxion often of hitting maximum heat in OK since it`s in the SW corner, well over 100 lately. One other log this opening from TX: see U S A (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11800, June 27 at 2202, no signal direct from RRI, English alternative I had recommended. Very bad propagation, or off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, June 27 at 2200:17, timesignal ending 17 seconds late compared to WWV, poor S4/S6 from VOT English direct with ACI from 11780 Brasil; anyhow, not off the air today. Something`s always awry at Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2196 monitoring: ``15770, UNITED STATES, WRMI, 2230, World of Radio (no. 2196) heard here on Zenith T.O. Royal 7000 and whip, but due to choppy rx, we switched to Drake tabletop and long wire outside for the remainder of the program. -- Fair; Good on peaks, Jun. 24 [Sat]. Rick Barton, Sun City AZ`` ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: Confirming World of Radio #2196, WRMI: 15770, very weak, 2231. 2244. 2258, 2259, June 24 UTC 2023 [Sat] 9395, 0130 (45343), QSB fading, 0159, June 25 UTC 2023 [Sun] 9395, 0030, tv QRN, static QRN, 0045, 0059 (45443), June 27 UTC 2023 [Tue] (Lemke, Richard -AB) 73’s, Richard`` Confirmed UT Tuesday June 27 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/15 into UTwente despite NNW beam from FL rather than NE; strangely, Missouri is getting no signal; a few minutes later direct, it`s S9/+20. 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 [NEW] Thanks this week for generous financial support from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sent a quarterly seasonal check to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9265, June 27 at 0643, NO signal from WINB which per own schedule is supposed to run TOMBS daily until 0658: but has wrong time conversion between ``EST`` instead of EDT vs UT, i.e. 5 hour difference instead of 4. Come to think of it, I don`t encounter WINB in routine bandscans after 0600. So suspect it really stops at 0558 UT = 1:58 am EDT. That means ALL OTHER program times at http://winb.com/schedule.htm are WRONG: The EST is really EDT and the UTs are one hour later than reality. One could confirm this by checking any random shorter program on air vs on sked. It`s incredible that America`s ``oldest`` private SW station would make such juvenile mistakes. I try 9265 Tue June 26 at 2206 UT and hear a gospel huxter in Spanish: none sked!: 04:00P / Tue-2100...Bishop S. C. Johnson 05:00P / Tue-2200...The Overcomer 06:30P / Tue-2330...The Essentials of Life and Wellness But there is supposedly on Wednesdays: even further SNAFU: 04:00P / Wed-2100...A Look At The Book - Spanish - 04:30P / Wed-2130...Wells of Salvation 05:00P / Wed-2200...Templo Trinidad Presenta Jesucristo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9975, it seems my previous log of KVOH, UT Monday June 26 before 0600, was in its very last minutes forever. Shortly afterwards, Jose Jacob notified that had been its final broadcast, more info in the next `AWR Wavescan`. Dino Bloise of `Frecuencia al Día` which had also been carried on KVOH, also reported this. I had been hearing rumors of impending doom for some time. It would seem that if its own transmitter is no longer any good, and if the Tayloes wish to continue their ministry and could afford it, buying a few hours on existing US SW stations would serve the purpose, such as WRMI or even WTWW. George McClintock had been trying to make a deal for KVOH to buy WTWW, but it did not work out. It seems that KVOH also has a problem with the lease running out for the property it has been using. Jose Jacob also refers us to his convoluted history of KVOH et al., as of two years ago: https://qsl.net/vu2jos/VOH.pdf The last I checked there was nothing about this on VOH website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, June 27 at 0649, presumed DEJOM on WMLK, but only S6/S8 direct unlike usual 300 kW whopper; 15770 WRMI is stronger, reverse of normal. Maybe northerly propagation be degraded, or QRP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5980, Tue June 27 at 0651, weak carrier interfering with Cuba`s jamming against nothing; as I bandscan downward I know I will find 5890 TOMBS on WWCR on the air even tho has been running overnight only on weekends; leaping over 5935 DGS/PMS another 45 kHz beyond. Yup, there it is on 5890, S9+20/30. And current sked dated June 1 still shows WWCR-4 OFF the air M-F at 05-12 UT. Change, or mistake? Something`s not right at Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9395, June 27 at 2208, ``Bishop`` Bob Biermann is really angry on `Truth [sic] 2 Ponder` via WRMI. He must have recovered from his surgery. Denounces homosexuality as sinful and laments that ``Pride`` gets a whole month with 3 more days to go, while worthy unsinful holidays are for only one day a year! Doesn`t care what others think of him. Names several major denominations which have embraced Gay Pride: they are all wrong, he thinx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 96.7, June 27 at 1724 UT into caradio, a strong and steady *mono* signal with two guys talking about engorgement, phone sex --- oooh, hot stuff; axually rather vapid, but what is this on normally nothing channel adjacent local 96.9? I was looking for Es but this isn`t. Finally at 1730, ``The Ticket`` for the ``tri-state area`` [besides TX and OK, what??], later mentions DFW and ``Sports Radio 96-7 and 1310 The Ticket``, so it`s: KTCK-FM 96.7 FLOWER MOUND TX SPORTS SPORTS RADIO 1310 & 96.7, THE TICKET 90.0 621.0 33-26-13 97-29-05 426A All sports all the time KTCK The Ticket // KTCK 1310 381 km = 236 miles. Flower Mound is on the north side of The Metroplex which may help a little, but as before I have no sign of any other DFW signals. Finally fades at 1736 but back up at 1741, now really talking about sports instead of sex; as I leave for lunch. One other log this opening, see OKLAHOMA. That is, until another check on the caradio at 2047: 94.5, ads and PSA for contact Dallas City Hall for West Nile Virus info, AC 214. This is the station closest to Dallas, well north of The Metroplex and good for reception into OK: KZMJ 94.5 GAINESVILLE TX HD URBAN AC MAJIC 94.5 100.0 591.0 33-32-14 96-49-54 5345 THE NEW MAJIC 94-5 www.majic945.com Rhythm and Blues 315 km = 196 mi (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2326 UT June 27
