** CUBA. 15230, June 4 at 0330, RHC with S9+10/20 of suptorted just
barely modulation in Spanish. EiBi shows 22-05 & 12-15 UT here.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

0651 recheck, now algo music S3/S4, could be RHC overtime but probably
CRI Xi`an site overlapping sked 03-09 per EiBi, Commies vs Commies!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1210 kHz, June 4 at 0345 UT, Fox Sports Network with good
signal, KGYN? Yes, NRC AM Log shows that`s one of many networx on
KGYN, far from fulltime sports. Why am I hearing it so well? Night
pattern with null toward Philadelphia, which is few degrees further
north than Enid; Wichita would be closer to the notch so I wonder how
reception be there. I have long suspected KGYN of not going direxional
at night from its 3 inline towers east of Guymon aside US 412, about
290 km = 180 statute miles from me. KGYN has been licened as 10/10 kW,
DA-night only. I can also hear it barely in daytime. Has CP to
increase day power to 22 kW, no change in antenna patterns. Have not
noticed any daytime improvement. NRC DX News May 23 had a typo leading
us to believe the night power would be only 1000 watts instead of
still 10000:

``CPs built, approaching final licensing (and probably being used on
the air): 1210 KGYN OK Guymon – Applies for license to cover CP with
U2 22000/1000 [sic], existing site.`` to which I replied at the
time:

``(was U2 10000/10000! So we should get it better in daytime, everyone
get it less nighttime. There was once years ago a plan, CP? to move
this to OKC market, up to 50 kW; long abandoned? -- gh}`` (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. June 4 at 1855 UT, DXMAPS shows some sporadic E spixe
above 140 MHz in eastern USA - must be 2m ham contacts, so I rush to
the garaged caradio to tune for FMDX. 96.5, tuned in seconds too late
at 1859 for ID, just heard ``96 punto 5`` in Spanish. Likely Orlando
which no doubt I had a few day ago; but suspiciously no sign of any
other Es tuning up the band from 88.7.

After first tune at 1903: ``Ésta es KRXO, Éxitos 96.5, Oklahoma City,
Oclajoma --- Tyler Media`` --- never heard that before, must be a new
translator and I notice that other OKC sigs are enhanced, but still no
102.7. At 1904 CCI from an MS burst.

KRXO-FM of course is really the call of the silly sportstalk fullpower
station on 107.7 but WTFDA FM DB shows it does have HD. So what`s on
96.5?
K243BJ relays:KRXO-FM 107.7 H 96.5 OKLAHOMA CITY OK Spanish OLDIES

** TURKEY. Re VOT running an hour ahead with German at 22 UT June 3 on
11785.006: Timeanddate.com says: ``Turkey currently observes Turkey
Time (TRT) all year [UTC +3]. DST is no longer in use. Clocks do not
change in Ankara, Turkey. The previous DST change in Ankara, Turkey
was on September 8, 2016`` -- what will happen at 0300 on 6165, 7275 -
Malay instead of English? Oops, by then I forget to check. Try again
June 4 at 2200, 5 at 0300! And if there be no DST in Turkey, why do
they always make 1-hour timeshifts between A and B seasons, no matter
where the target, local DST or not? Out of habit since 2016y? (Glenn

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2193 monitoring: confirmed Saturday

** U S A. 1539.903, June 4 from 0338 UT, big het here against 1540.0
stations, unlike anywhere else on the entire MWBC band scanned. I bet
it`s KGBC Galveston TX which has a long history of such
offfrequenciness. However I had not noticed that for quite a while.
Broadly speaking, it was pervasive in 2020y but not much if any in
2021y & 2022y, when WKVQ Eatonton GA was always even further on the
plus side to 1520.21, but not any more.

The latest log I can find searching in NRC DX News is from early 2023:
``1539.90 KGBC TX Galveston – 1/14 0801 [EST = 1301 UT] – Prayer in
Spanish, then legal ID at 0801:30: “This is KGBC Galveston-Houston
1540 AM and K269GS Pasadena 101.7 FM,” followed by soft music. Fair
signal and nicely separable on LSB. Frequency is approximate. (JW
[John Wilkins, Wheatridge]-CO)``

At 0357 I rotate the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX-398 to get a bearing
on it: SSE/NNW, and there is separate Mexmx on 1540 from SSW/NNE -
that would be KEDA San Antonio. SSE peak fits for Galveston.

The closer Texmex, KZMP in The Metroplex seems no longer a factor. NRC
DX News just reported May 23: ``1540 KZMP TX University Park – Granted
STA, U1 100/100, TIS antenna at 32-50-51/96-48-40.`` {was U4
32000/750! -- gh}

Preacher keeps talking thru hourop 0400 with no ID heard. 0402 into
praise song in Spanish. 0407 Radio Gracia ID for 1320! kHz, and bank
account number for contributions: how brazen. Now it`s S9+10 as I
measure the het by comparing pitch tuned in AM vs tuned in SSB. The
pitch pulses slightly as if wobbling but that could be caused by
another station it is beating against.

I search out a webcast link also with info about it at:
https://onlineradiobox.com/us/gracia/

``Radio Gracia 1320 AM spanish christian contemporary

https://www.radiogracia.com/

There the only frequency shown is 95.3 FM! WTFDA FM DB shows that is:

40.0m HAAT both horizontal only 29-53-00 95-13-25 SANACION DE
FAMILIA``

It so happens that there is a KiwiSDR right in Galveston. It`s getting
the same signal at local strength on 1540 at -97 Hz steady offset and
that seems to be accurately calibrated compared to nearby
on-frequencies and weak WWV 2500. I also try the Maurice LA SDR which
gets a JBA signal also -97 Hz from 1540.

MWOffsets has an entry only for KGBC among the 1540 Texans:
1539.9074 with a range to .903 as of 2020-03-06. Check!

By 0407 it switches to a different identity ``La Abuela``, as in
grandmother -- what a strange name for a station. Says that
repeatedly. Searching on that is unproductive but there are lots of
Abuela restaurants or Abuelitas. This really seemed like a station
slogan rather than a commercial. At 0440 talking about a Houston
rodeo. 0452, back to ``Radio Gracia`` and its bank acct. The stream
and KiwiSDR are definitely //.

I also check 1320 on the Galv SDR: no signal from KXYZ Houston. Must
be in a deep null if really on air --- No, radio-locator.com night map
shows a peak toward Galv drawn by the Gulf! Assume 1320 be
ex-frequency of Gracia as KXYZ is now listed with BIN in English!

FCC shows a CP for change in KGBC parameters is in effect: 3600/185
watts with one lobe to the NNW which is good for Houston; and Enid.
But is it really on night power now? This also in radio-locator.com
which shows no slogan, but format as Tejano; and address in Houston

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Saturday June 3 at 1844, LRA36 is
already on with good S9+10 peaks into Argentine SDR; usual
conversation and by 1910 some songs. Nominal sked is now 18-21 UT;
Manuel Méndez, Spain, was hearing it direct from 1801. So good into
Arg that it`s worth checking for at least a trace to here: nope, at
1921. And the signal has just weakened into Arg. At 1925 surges back
up so a transmitter or receiver issue, not propagation. But Magic
Flute from The Met is much easier on the ears. Still going at 2041,
weaker, and 2057 but not at 2204 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FINLAND. 11690, Sat June 3 at 0635, no signal audible direct, but
at 0645 a JBA carrier, presumably Scandinavian Weekend Radio during
its almost-monthly first-Saturday broadcast, which is supposed to be
24h on 11690 & 6170 only. Of course now it`s too late into the dayside
for 6170 to get out.

Walt Salmaniw, BC was getting it earlier, so I replied, ``note my
report of DRM on 11690 last night, NZ? Glenn``

Walt replies, ``Nothing that looks like a DRM signal here, Glenn,
tonight. The carrier is quite wobbly, as well, measuring 11689.939 at
the moment, as seen by this screenshot:
Screenshot 2023-06-03 050321_SWR 11690.jpg
Closest DRM signal visible is Romania on 11740, scheduled in French,
and noted at 05:13 UTC, as I type this. 73, Walt``

His shot does show a brief bump slightly upward from that frequency.
The JBA carrier I had did not seem to be so far off, but I should have
tried to measure it as a clincher. Nothing else is listed on 11690 at
this time nor during most of the day; on until 2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

instead of English!!! German has been on the program feed starting at
2300, and occasionally heard on 11785 after that hour when failed to
turn off in time. Maybe Turkey have added an hour of DST advancing the

** U S A. About WBCQ Radio Angela, Uncle Bill responds on the WOR iog:
``secret Swiss``?

``Thank you for listening. The beginning of the Volksmusik segment was
indeed songs I had originally heard during SBC's language change
intervals back in the 70s. Since they never named the artists or tunes
during those it took me decades to find some of the albums, and I
decided to imitate them and just let the music speak this trip.

An old jazz standard includes the line "Romance without finance don't
make no sense......" and that's more or less where things stand now.
I'm not going to speak for all the other programmers, but I personally
am a child of radio, and anything I would ever do in the future would
have a real radio component of some kind even if it also streamed.``

``I think the modern tendency for humans to assume things without
actually looking is part of what hindered us with possible financial
support. In spite of the the fact that Radio Angela went to great
lengths to avoid religious and political fare - if anything our
overall program grid was a true voice of human unity, not division -
many potential donors just couldn't shake the stereotype of private
shortwave stations out of their brains no matter how hard we tried to
explain our mission, which was to be something quite different. This
is rather sad, because in real life, the only way to change things is
to be the change.

I do have the comfort of being able to go to bed at night without
wondering "what if I had tried this?", and if some of the new voices
we brought onto the air are able to make a go of things another way,
this will not have been in vain.``

More from Uncle Bill:
``I would like to say one thing about Angela Weiner specifically - love
or hate her personal political pronouncements, Radio Angela was named
after her because she was a crucial part of our support while we were
on the air. It might not be easy for some people to get their heads
around the fact that she supported world music, but there you have
it. Most people are more complex than their cartoon caricatures, a
fact that gets increasingly lost in a world of algorithms designed to
accentuate our more primitive drives.`` (via gh, WOR)

** U S A. (7490-), UT Sat June 3 from 0000, WBCQ webcast starts with
announcement by non-Angela YL that the following program originally
aired on Feb. 24, 2023! Never heard them do that before. So never
mind. Has AW twitted anything about this or the demise of R. Angela?
No. Starts right off praying about Ukraine on first anniversary of war

** U S A [and non]. Another sporadic-E FM DX opening, Wednesday May 31
at 1521-1625 UT, from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Ontario. It`s
taken me a couple days to get this compiled and researched as
Thursdays are busy WOR produxion day. Es FM DX: gotta take it whenever
it decides to happen! In the not yet hot garage, on the Nissan Sentra
2004 stock caradio with fender vertical antenna only; all logs in real
time with my own ears, no RDS capability, no recording, no internet
for stream comparisons; but research later from my scribbled notes,
mainly the 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.

Canadian logs are included in original time order below, and also
duplicated at separate entry under CANADA.

Unlike the FL opening yesterday, many frequencies are 2 or 3 stations
deep vying for captures; many with confusing fringe-area groundwave
signals fading in and out like ionospheric. I include some of those
for completeness or to reconfirm identities.

Wow, what a name; never heard it or of it before. Wikipedia: ``The
name Penetanguishene is believed to come from either the Wyandot[3] or
Abenaki via Ojibwe,[4] meaning "land of the white rolling sands".``
But how is it mispronounced, in French and in English, a bilingual
community. In Tranna do they know? Thus endeth this opening! (Glenn

May 26 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG direct and the other
three frequencies detectable. Justin Coe foresees his feature today
interviewing some American pop singer, Ron Sexsmith [? sounds like],
as adapted from a bilingual discussion on Radio 3. Sorry, not
interested. Is there nothing more important to report from Spain
happening in the last biday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)`

Please note that Ron Sexsmith is Canadian, not American and he is far
from a "pop singer". He has been classified by the likes of Elton
John, Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, and others, as one of the
premier singer/songwriters in the world today, and I would agree with
them! Sheldon Harvey, Greenfield Park, Quebec`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. About 5130, WBCQ R. Angela, UT Tue May 30: On Tue, May 30,

``Uncle Bill responds - I honestly have no clue how that happened;

point.``

I make a point of monitoring the final R. Angela broadcast, UT
Thursday June 1 on WBCQ 5130 -24 Hz = 5129.976: ethnic music hosted by
Uncle Bill himself, so it`s UBMP? No, another of his shows only on
R.A., `African Music Panorama`. At 0300 he`s combining some `Dangdut &
Beyond` episodes of Malaysian/Indonesian music, by Zach Liangas,
originally 10 minutes each. 0330 polka and yodeling, ``secret Swiss``?
Then Slovenia. 0400 usual short features to 0411, open carrier to
cutoff at 0412.5* Nothing was to be heard in the way of farewell,
final broadcast. Indeed UT June 2 circa 0310, 5130 is not on the air
any more.

What might have been! Full now canceled June sked is still up:

Vanuatu reactivated, strongest ever. Ron Howard says modulating later
