** 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 =

** 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?

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.

** 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

** 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

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

** 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:

including tonight again at 0511 when stronger. Does this run 24 hours;
and why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, June 26 at 0008, RHC Spanish news at S9,
morning/afternoon frequency still running, not turned off at 2030
after French? or maybe Sunday Esperanto to 2100? // also now: weaker

** ROMANIA [and non]. 9550 // 11620, UT Mon June 26 at 0021, RRI
English starting Romanian LL, good on both. Was checking 9550 for R.
Boa Vontade, Brasil, which others report but I never hear; despite
``24h`` per Aoki & EiBi, not even a het as EiBi says 9550.1; and not
``Ventade`` as in Aoki. I think RBV must be on limited daytime-only
sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UQKOGBANI [non]. 12095, June 26 at 0455, BBCWS sufficiently good

think so, rather as in EiBi and HFCC, MADAGASCAR, to Vatican. Talata
at 315 degrees across Africa carries on nicely USward, despite BBC`s
best efforts to deprive us of SW service. After 0500 also // 11810
which is MAD too but 265 degrees so weaker. Would you believe that
JORDAN is still pretending in HFCC to be on SW 11810 with 500 kW from
0500? Other imaginary `AKA` entries there on 6105, 7155, 9830, 11995,

S5/S7 into Maryland SDR, best S9+5/10 into Missouri SDR, but sounds

1323 kHz, S9+10/15 into nearby SDR.

noise QRM burst override for first 14 seconds.

Also confirmed UT Monday June 26 from 0301.8 on Area 51 WBCQ, 6160 -67

** U S A. (7490-), Sun June 25 at 2200, WBCQ webcast not with `Uncle
Bill`s Melting Pot` which has been suspended but still on the sked,
rather rerun of Feb rerun of `AAAWWW` of UT Sat June 24 at 0000.
Fillers of earlier UBMPs would be preferable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, June 26 at 0024, KVOH not off the air yet, during its
one airing of `AWR Wavescan` at 0000 UT Mondays, only S5/S8 now. Still
on with gospel music at 0509, now S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9265, June 26 at 0507, WINB with S9/+10 of JBM music, sounds
same as WRMIs 9395 & 9955, i.e. TOMBS as sked on all, 0502-0658 on
WINB: but sked dated June 4 is labeled EST with 5-hour difference to
UT; so is one of them wrong, really EDT? But at least WINB carrier is
hardly wobbling at all now! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150, Sunday June 25 at 0632, gospel huxter at S9+20/30 as
WMLK continues active overnight; presumably was silent for UT
Sabbathday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 11815, Sunday June 25 at 0636, S4/S6, unOrthodox RCC-style
Slavic chanting. It`s VR`s Sunday-only liturgy in Ukrainian at
0605-0700 per EiBi. Otherwise on 11815 we would expect Brasil or
Japan, but not Turkey this season. Also, RTI & CNR1 jamming. Brasil
might be 24h but the others avoid the Vatican hour (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS UPDATE June 24
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

** CHINA [non]. 9580, June 24 at 0247 CRI relay S9+20/30 but
undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Unseems Std
Chinese to me, Cantonese? No, Mandarin sked this hour, Cantonese at
04-05 on 9790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, June 24 at 0642, steady S9 of dead air in English:
obviously the extra RHC frequency tonight instead of 11760 or 9700.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CHINA
[non], ROMANIA [and non]

** GERMANY. 9670, June 24 at 0248, pop music S7/S9, presumably Channel
292 as nothing else is listed and it plays a lot of fill music between
specific paid programming; better than usual for only 10 kW. Website
has a day-by-day program grid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, June 24 at 0648, S7 signal but JBM on
signature offset of Voice of Nigeria. Often totally absent so a
marginal improvement; while neighbor 7260 Vanuatu continues to be
outstanding and reliable, for now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. DTV bandscan of 6 thru 36, June 24 at 1535 UT finds BAD
signals on RF: 11, 14, 17!, 20, 22, 26, 28, 34. All are normally
``open`` except 17, where Enid`s only local signal resides, such as it
is, K17JN-D with 3ABN channels: either it`s off again or more likely
degraded by DX QRM from 1000 kW KTEN ``10`` Ada, not far off the aim
of antenna toward OKC. By 1645, K17JN-D is restored.

11 is also unusual. FCC TV Query shows there are no lo-power 11s in OK
or KS, just KTWU Topeka, KSNG Garden City, KOED Tulsa and KSWO Lawton.
All except KSWO ``7`` have retained their original analog channels.
Most of the other bad signals correlate with Tulsa market, per
rabbitears.info; and APRS tropo map shows a connexion between Enid and
Tulsa, also closest, so assume 11 be KOED, the OETA station. 14 is
probably the new home of KTUL ``8``, which IIRC recently moved from RF
10. The only other VHF left in Tulsa is RF 12 of KGEB ``53`` which I
have seldom if ever? logged; 21.5 kW ERP while KOED has ERP of 47 kW.
My erstwhile Zenith set-top-box -- axually set-beside-box, DTV
converter/tuner, is showing signs of ageing, and maybe imminent
demise, as it`s no longer instant-on from redeye to blueeye, rather
takes several seconds to boot up. I much rather use it for DXing than
HD tuners built in to screens, so it`s obvious which real channels I
am tuning. The HDTV sets are too `smart` for their own good (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 11780, June 24 at 0249, RRI already wrapping up
Spanish hour before some outro music, VG with no QRM from RNA Brasil
which is obviously off, deliberately? tho supposedly sked until 0300;
and RRI // 9700 slightly lowerly modulated -- and no QubaRM there
either; RHC sometimes on 9700 ex-6165 in English (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.008, Sat June 24 after 2200, VOT English not off the
air today, VG S9+40/50 into UTwente; 2212 some nice harmonious music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2196 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday June 24 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10/30 direct but noisy.

Also confirmed Saturday June 24 at 1600 on WRN North America
webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday June 24 promptly at 1930 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO, VG steady S9+25 into nearby SDR and no storm crashes. Next:
