** CUBA [and non]. 9700, July 19 at 0206, huge clash of two in Spanish
adding up to S9+10/20 direct: RHC and RRI ROMANIA which is
legitimately on 9700 this hour, vs somewhat stronger RHC, which Aoki
shows at 01-07, but of course is sporadic. Something`s always wrong at
RHC. RRI needs to move; of course, the Cubans have no love for
countries which have overthrown the yoke of Communism, long ago (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. A number of Okies are intermixed with KS, TX, LA in my FM
DX report for July 17 under USA; note especially those found to be in
MONO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Only a few 10m beacons audible, and nothing phone up to

WA4OTD, Leroy S Wignot, 14040 Brookstone Dr, Carmel, IN 46032 The 10M beacon on 28.278.8 MHz, is running again and I am getting so
many reports, THANKS VERY MUCH! Listen if you get a chance and send

Middletown, OH 45044 Station AG8Y is the club station for the City Radio Club of Middletown
Ohio. We have a 10 meter beacon on 28.281 with the AG8Y call.
Previously it identified as W8EH. If you hear the beacon, send an
email and let us know where you heard it. The beacon is running 7 to 8
watts to a Cushcraft Ringo about 15' above ground, at 860' elevation.

IL 60074 KD9OWT/B 10M BEACON
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.

Reception reports are appreciated! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** 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

woradio at yahoo.com (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

(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** 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

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

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) This report dispatched at 2359 UT July 19

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.

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

(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** 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
99-50-00 341/212 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
likely in this opening
KINZ 95.3 HUMBOLDT KS CLASSIC HITS Z 95.3, THE CLASSIC MIX 24.0 102.0

(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** 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) This report dispatched at 2359 UT July 19

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 10125-USB, phone not CW, July 18 at 0643, JBA
Aussies in ragchew; one IDs as VK5-something. Same frequency as much
more regular HK3QQ Bogotá, Colombia with its slow sequences of CW
letters in keyboard order, some with errors, but no QRM with BFO on
USB 10125 exactly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. The only ZY on three SW frequencies at once, R. Voz
Missionária, and never exact as I measure them this time, July 18 at
0624-0630, with music and Portuguese ID:
5940.220, S7 vs HSNL;
9664.901, S5/9;
11750.062, S4/S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9700, July 18 at 0150, no signal from RHC. Sometimes on here
in English, leaving only 6000 at 0151, S9+10/20 but
undermodulatedistortion. 9700 supposedly ex-6165, never heard any
more. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, July 18 at 0645, RHC in Spanish, S9+10/20 and the SSOB
on this overrun ``daytime`` frequency sometimes latenight rather than
9535, 9700, 11670 or 11760. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 11760, July 8 at 2207, RHC Spanish only S4/S6 with
QRM from Chinese music. That would be CRI `Portuguese` with fill-music
only as per Aoki sked this hour from Xianyang 59 site. Commies vs
Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11850, July 18 at 2208, RHC S1/S6 with trace? of modulation,
also parasite JBA carriers 11840; and 11860 QRMing jamming against
nothing. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6869.918 AM, July 18 at 0634, never-IDing pirate a
regular late-night, S8/S9, music and talk. Lucas Bandura, BC, got an
eQSL presumably for a report on some forum such as HFU; ``From: LNL6XXX41SW <lnl6xxx41sw@protonmail.com>

LATE NIGHT LUNATICS 6869.92
What kind of rat bastard psychotic would play that song right now?

WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, July 18 at 2200 and later, no signal from VOT
English direct. Propagation degraded but ought to get something; Spain
still VG on 17855. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15120, July 18 at 2203, S8/S9 of dead air, no doubt VOA
Grimesland slow to turn off after weekday 2130-2200 Bambara (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2199 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday July 18 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+15/20 into Maryland SDR to
the NNE tho beamed NNW; as usual at this time, Jeff tries to insert a
``The World is in Turmoil`` SW receiver commercial after the ID until
WOR starts. It seems that WORLD OF RADIO is back on SW from Australia, low-power
LSB instead of USB. Website https://www.uniqueradio.biz/
now says: ``WE BROADCAST ON 5035 kHz LSB up until 9PM & 3210 kHz USB after 9PM

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, July 18 at 0149, WRNO S9+20 but still distorted
modulation like 24h ago; hard to describe but unlike distortion heard
elsewhere such as Cairo or Cuba. Is nobody listening at HQ? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9275, July 18 at 2159, bit of music from WMLK about to close
and shortly off. Last time I ran across 15150 after 0600 it was quite
weak for 300 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Frank Merrill replies on the IRCA iog to my repeated and
latest report of KLEY 1130 Wellington KS running full power at night: ``Daytimers on the air at night -- fmerrilljr -- Jul 17 -- #35167 Wow, WHKY is *STILL* on huge power at night? I noticed that years
ago. I haven't DX'ed on AM in a number of years, and I no longer have
a location to do so regularly, so I won't start again (from Chicago,
in the City). I'm also in a highrise there, with a very high noise
floor; trying to hear anything that crosses an ocean would be entirely
futile. All that said, I will never lose interest in it. Just this past week I've read an article saying that the FCC will not
enforce any station running outside its parameters (such as KLEY
full-power at night), unless a co-channel broadcaster complains.
(This was written in response to one of Glenn Hauser's reports that he
notes KLEY on with full power at night, rather than their one-watt
licensed night power.) KWKH probably doesn't even care, unless KLEY
would QRM the signal within the listening area, which is not likely
with 250 watts. More likely for QRM from WISN or WBBR (strong
night-pattern protection notwithstanding) even before any worries
about a Kansas 250-watter. This can also respond to the Dayton stations on 1290 and 1410 very
possibly not caring at all that they're being blasted by stations
southeast of them running unauthorized night power. Unlike the 1130
situation with KLEY/KWKH, I would definitely think that WHKY and WHLN
could very easily be "eating into" Dayton's SUBURBAN coverage, at
least. They still might not care. All of this is ALMOST like a criminal court proceeding: the
"plaintiff" (such as KWKH or WING) apparently needs to have standing
for the FCC to enforce such infractions. KWKH would of course have
standing, but a DX'er does not. That seems to be as good explanation of why a station can stray from
its licensed parameters for years at a time and, no matter how blatant
it seems, nothing usually happens until they just decide to stop ---
which gives them no incentive at all to stop. UNRELATED, BUT FUN FACT: The small town town of North, South Carolina
is southeast of Due West.`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, July 18 at 0636, R. Vanuatu, YL in Bislama with
service announcements, S9/+10. There every night and not always
relogged; until it isn`t (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2329 UT July 18

** ALGERIA. 13590 & 13790, July 17 at 0118, unlike July 15, now both
Ifrikya FM sites and frequencies are on with rock music, mentions
``Afrique`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9700, July 17 at 0124, S9+10/20 of big humbuzz, obviously RHC
but English or Spanish? No program mod; wiggle that patchcord.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, July 17 at 0633, extra tonight in Spanish S7/S9 but
just barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Mon July 17 at 2206, token English from SNR, VG into
Maryland SDR and other three frequencies also audible; feature is
interview with an award-winning Canadian photographer specialising in
sub-Saharan Africa, sorely lacking any visual element. 2226 a brief
report about algo from Beirut correspondent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 7260, July 17 at 0129, VOT multi-lingual ID filler reel,
during Spanish hour - IDess for that language is really cutesy (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.019, July 17 at 2159, VOT IS, not off the air today,
S9+30 into UTwente, 2200 quite distorted in s/on also by distorted
accentedess, a double-whammy encouraging tuneout. Recheck 2258 it`s
off already, so no extra German or Portuguese. Something`s always awry
at Ankara and/or erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2199 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday July 17 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9 into Durango2, Mexico SDR,

accessible later, S9/+10 with storm crashes all over LA. Also confirmed UT Monday July 17 at 0302 just underway on Area 51,
modulating via WBCQ 6160 minus 68 Hz = 6159.932, S7/9+10 into Maryland
SDR; followed after 0330 by barnyard/animal sounds, apparently
W.D.C.D. as at 0358, still past 0401+ rather than TOMBS. Sked shows
H.R.I. at 0330, W.D.C.D. before WOR at 0230. Next: 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9455, July 17 at 0122, this WRMI is DA or JBM at best,
S9+10/20. It`s either Legends per System K sked, or RAE Spanish per
transmitter grid, one of many inconsistencies, contradixions (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, July 17 at 0130, WRNO is on at S9+20/30 but distorted
music. Something`s messed up at Metairie or SNAFU at Fort Worth (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. FM DX: DXMAP shows sporadic E reaching OK, but as often
happens I`m getting instead mostly tropo extending into far reaches of
OK, north TX and even LA, KXKS-FM 93.7 Shreveport, July 17 at
1554/1816+ UT, blocking Es if any. Again 2026-2108 UT now some Es
making it from the east, including WBJC 91.5 Baltimore MD. Details of
all this yet to be compiled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0008 UT July 18
