Saturday October 12 at 0300 on WTWW 5085, VG direct. Not a problem,
but not caused by me, I`ve noticed that this airing starts with a few
words from a preacher before cut to WOR opening. Also as usual
followed by two minutes of music 0329-0331* turned off without ID or

** U S A. 660, Oct 12 at 0644 UT, loud C&W, got to be KTNN Window Rock
AZ again on 50 kW ND day pattern despite WFAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 770, KKOB Albuquerque NM: Oct 12 at 0638 UT, trying to
confirm whether KKOB still be on the air following collapse of one of
two towers in the North Valley after balloon hit. ABQ news reports
said it would still be on air from one tower, despite a subject line
in one DX group, ``KKOB off the air``. I am hearing something in
English but can`t tell if KKOB, since it`s under Spanish, see MEXICO.
Typically in such a case, like KOKC or KAAY, gets STA to stay on at
night, ND but with lowered power.

However, at 0701 recheck, no Spanish, off? But ABC News which fits for
KKOB, per IRCA the only one on 770, and BTW, WABC runs Fox `news`, not
ABC! KKOB also has a 230-watt ND co-channel relay/booster in Santa Fe
only at night, filling in the null toward WABC; elsewhere very hard to
tell them apart unless ABQ be off or echoing, which they ought to
prevent. Walt Salmaniw found another story about this, originally AP:

https://www.timescolonist.com/the-mix/hot-air-balloon-strikes-and-collapses-radio-tower-in-albuquerque-during-festival-9649483
Similar one also in Enid News & Eagle.
4:48 audiovideo report by KOAT via Steve Whitt, MWC:

C&W music. That`s in Harrison AR, U1 1000/62 watts, address on Radio
Avenue per NRC AM Log. More importantly, where`s XEW? Remember when it
owned 900 at night, 250 kW? IRCA Mexican Log 2024 says it`s 24h
100/100 kW still on AM; but current mwlist and consequently WRTH 2024
still claim 250 kW, and another Mex on 900, 10/2.5 kW, XEOK Amor
Monterrey, which is totally missing from IRCA Log (Glenn Hauser, OK,

One KOAT report says the downed tower was one they rely on at night.

to KKOB as its ``media partner`` -- ha, long divorced from KOB TV.
Check for it tonight. More bits:

Geez, people don`t know the correct term is guywires:
``"At this time, it looks stable. We have no sagging in any of the
guidelines. The anchors are in place. There is only one guidewire
that's going over one of the anchors from the previous tower that
collapsed. So, at this time, we're we're very hopeful that the second

the air. We are still surveying damage to the antenna field and making
repairs, and we hope to have additional transmitters back on the air
either this evening or tomorrow. Stay tuned for updates.

As of 2210 UTC Thursday Oct. 10, our frequency of 5950 kHz is back on
the air. So now we have 7730 and 5950 on the air.

As of 2255 UTC Thursday Oct. 10, our frequencies of 5010 and 5800 kHz
are back on the air. So now we are on 5010, 5800, 5950 and 7730 kHz.
[WORLD OF RADIO 2264]

At around 0000 UTC Friday Oct. 11, our hard-working engineers got
7780, 9395, 9455 and 15770 kHz back on the air. It is now well after
dark here in Okeechobee, so we will try to get some additional
frequencies back on the air tomorrow`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185-, Oct 9 at 0615, XEPPM, S9+15/25 of dead air or maybe
trace of modulation, which happens too often late at night; and as
usual frequency slightly offset minus. Normally they play a nice wide
variety of music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855 & 17715, as previewed yesterday, Oct 9 at 2159 both
NAm & SAm SNR frequencies on air for token English on Wed. About same
level, S9/+10. The // to ME 15520 about same S but sounds better off
the back, lower MUF trumping azimuths. By Oct a lower band for us
should be more reliable at this hour, but they wait until B-seasons to
plunge to 9690 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.006+, Oct 9 at 2158, VOT not off the air,
IS and English IDs, S9/+20 direct but insufficient vs noise level for
easy listening. Yet it`s much stronger than Romania 11800, which has a
somewhat more northerly path vs the auroral zone. At 2233 into UTwente
when measured, S9+5/15 and sufficient. 2239 ending `The Middle East
and Turkey`, music. 2243 `Sports Panorama`. 2251 headlines. 2253
s/off. 2254.3 IS to 2255* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790, 15770, 9455, 9395, Oct 9 at 1900, NO signals direct
from WRMI frequencies normally active now, as Hurricane Milton is
closing in. It seems that one must consult disgraced FB for latest
station info rather than own website! Several of our monitors had just
checked that; Mike Cooper copied this at 1843: ``WRMI Facebook posts
during the past two hours:

`Hurricane Milton Update as of 1645 UTC Wednesday October 9: We are
starting to get some wind gusts here at the transmitter site in
Okeechobee, and there are two tornadoes fairly close to us that we are
watching carefully. So far our transmitters are operating normally,
but we anticipate we will have to shut them down in the coming hours
as winds get stronger here. We will try to maintain our livestream at
www.wrmi.net. Thanks to everyone who has emailed us, texted, called,
etc. with your good wishes.

Hurricane Milton Update as of 1825 UTC Wednesday October 9: There are
tornado warnings in effect for the area of our transmitter site in
Okeechobee, and at least one confirmed tornado sighting. And winds are
getting quite high. So we are shutting down all transmitters now until
further notice. Our Internet stream should remain on the air. So far
we still have electrical power.

1835 UTC Wednesday Oct 9: Our frequency of 7730 kHz remains on air, as
well as our www.wrmi.net stream. Power went out briefly, but has
returned.```

I check FB at 2317 and find only one more entry: ``1838 UTC Wednesday:
Power has gone out again at the transmitter site. Only our Internet
stream remains``
