** BRAZIL. 9673.4/9673.5, jumpy transmitter, July 10 at 0635, RVM ID
in Portuguese, and then in *Spanish* with Brazuguese accent, including
contact address in Camboriú. They also run IDs in English but none
caught lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, July 10 at 0009, RHC with a malady I`ve never heard
before. Sounds like someone whispering but with volume turned way up,
unreadable distortion. Some dead air and 0010 resumes; much weaker
6000 seems // as it should be for English now. But 0018 recheck, 6165
is clear with normal mod but in Spanish; 0019 English. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, July 10 at 0627, all four English
RHCs are off already, unusual; nor on 11670. 5040 is still on but in
Spanish. I suppose that led to no Esperanto at 0700 Sunday,
unrechecked then. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13630 & 13772 approx., July 10 at 1440, spurblobs with F#
tone and minimal musical modulation more audible in AM mode than FM;
out of RHC 13700. Also weaker second-orders circa 13840 & 13560.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, July 9 at 2210, R. Cairo is very much on today,
for English to the NW, S9+25/35 into UTwente, but extremely distorted
and totally unlistenable. As ever. But almost on-frequency; that`s
something?

9899.965, July 9 at 2212, UTwente also gets an S9+25/35 signal here,
presumably the other R. Cairo Abis, and it`s clean. Trouble is, just
barely modulated. Somethings` always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.46 AM, July 10 at 1437, country music no doubt from
KOFM 103.1 Enid as relayed by local CB pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.021, July 9 at 2213, VOT English is certainly on
today, and typically plus 21 Hz into UTwente at S9+35/45; but heavy
humwhine making it very annoying to listen to altho mostly readable,
announcers` accents permitting, if one put up with it. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28204 CW, July 10 at 1434, W0WF repeating ID over and over,
the OSOB but good sporadic E signal under 500 miles per WJ50 roster:
28.204 WØWF * SAINT CHARLES, MISSOURI # 20W, VERTICAL (*) Daylight New
16 June 14 --- MUF not quite reaching FM band so I check 10m beacon
band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2146 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
July 9 ending at 2001.4 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Missouri, S9+10 into
nearby SDR so must have started about 1932.

Just missed checking 0030 UT Sunday July 10 on WRMI 7780; anyone hear
it?

Confirmed UT Sunday July 10 not starting until 0410 the 0315v on
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+10/15 but with SSB QRM as there must be some
contest on 160m causing a lot more activity on the `top` band.

Also confirmed Sunday July 10 at 1350 until 1359 on WMRI Europe via
Channel 292, Germany, 9670, S7/S9 into NW Ireland SDR, so started
right on time at 1330. Immediately into Russian, or Ukrainian? Next:

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5850, UT Sunday July 10 from 0100, `Encore` classical music
from R. Tumbril, Scotland, via WRMI, listening directly --- until 0132
when suddenly interrupted for partial WRMI ID, and rock music fill for
the rest of the hour! Ditto on // 7730 courtesy System F. So I have no
choice but to hear instead Texas Radio Shortwave unimpeded on another
WRMI, 5950. Try again for the complete Encore from 0232 UT Monday on
5950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. UT Sunday July 10 both at 0200 on WCLV webcast and affiliate
KUCO at 0300, `Weekend Radio` comedy show repeated last week`s
4th-of-July edition. It appears WCLV and/or Sagebrush Bob are having a
hard time keeping up with things (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6033.74, July 10 at 0629, JBA carrier, maybe trace of
modulation. Unseems local birdie as still there with preamps off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6070-6090, July 10 at 0626, no wideband DRM? like July 8
at exactly same time, so weak VOA 6080 is unimpeded. What was that?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1943 UT July 10

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday July 9, I start listening at
1450 via Argentine remote; LRA36 abruptly cuts on air during song at
*1455.7; 1501 standard canned sign-on including
Spanish/German/English/Korean warning that this is going to be in
Spanish, ``Ciclo Radial 2022 Audaz``. Staff names, 1502.7 Antártida
themesong; 1507.7 ``su compañía`` ID, 1508 song; 1512 YLs seemingly
live greeting originally on Wednesday, as program #10 in the 2022
Esperanza Audaz cycle, ``bajo el cielo más austral``.

This conflicts with a sporadic E FM DX opening from the west I have
been missing, so I move to the caradio, while blotting a potentially
``open`` but unlikely frequency, 90.7 with my RF feeder from the
computer; and check it occasionally while failing to ID any FM DX in
bandscanning.

1529, LRA36 still going with this-week-in-history, July 7 something
about condors. But it`s OFF already at next check 1534 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9673.80 / 9873.86, July 9 at 0621, RVM praise music jumping
around these two spots as I try to measure it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13670 & 13810, July 8 at 0157, clicking like modulation peak
spikes, and since they are 70 kHz equidistant from 13740, I conclude
they be produced by that RHC transmitter. Unlike the spurblobs in the
mornings from 13700: these with no F# tone, no FM, no mush.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13629 & 13772 approx., July 9 at 1436, FMish spurblobs from
13700 RHC, during extremely distorted music, F# tone, S5/S8 the lower
and S5/S6 the upper while fundamental is S7/S9. Also can detect weaker
second-orders circa 13553 & 13842 about S4/S5. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. Someone reported these to one or two decimal places but
for me they are too broad and amorphous to pinpoint. Perhaps SDR in
Synch mode could display more precise frequencies, which I have never
tried. In FM mode here the lower one covered at least 13550-13556 so
one could only guess the middle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, July 8 at 2151 and 2220 chex, instead of huge
unreadable mess, no signal at all today from R. Cairo in English,
checking at UTwente. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, July 8 at 0154 UT, there is country KOFM
103.1 relay again by local CB pirate, steady S9. And again July 9 at
0435 on 27184.46, S9+40, ID as ``My Country 103.1 KOFM`` (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Bandscanning on caradio for sporadic E FM DX July 9: 92.3
at 1512 UT, KimKomando.com show where a caller thinx it`s afternoon,
still at 1528. I quit car at 1538, but still audible KK sometime after
1600 recheck. May not be skip but I attempt to find a station on 92.3
via:
https://www.komando.com/airtimes/

Yes, this is how the KK 420+ station search is set up. You have to
enter a time and day of week, and specify timezone. So I enter 10 am
Sat in CT, 9 am MT, 8 am PT and for good measure 11 am ET. Each search
displays three stations, no more, no less, which is suspicious,
without their locations, and not a 92.3 among them!

Since this weak signal is pretty steady, I figure it`s only OK, such
as 10.5 kW KMZE Woodward, or Kansas, KKGQ Newton, but that should be
ESPN only. Radio Locator says KMZE has no website, and is ``Power Hits
Z92`` which sure doesn`t sound like a talk format; while WTFDA FM
database says it`s talk/sports.

One may also search KK by zipcode or location so I enter Woodward, and
what do I get? A map of SE PA and Maryland with 6 possible stations
pinpointed! Why have we landed here? There is a tiny 100-population
Woodward in central PA near Lewisburg.

Make it the metropolis of Woodward OK, and finally BINGO, KMZE 92.3
Saturday at 9 am. So if she last more than an hour you won`t get a hit
on the second hour. Come on, KK, internet guruess, you can do better
than that. But KMZE does have a website linked from KimKom:
http://www.z92online.com/ and most of their shows are far-right
extremist nonsense (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, July 8 at 2203, no signal from VOT English to N
America, into UTwente, but something weaker presumably China. Will be
on later? No, still not at 2221. Then I check five other frequencies
on the TRT HFCC schedule, supposed to be on air just before 2200, as
at other times, the sloppyrators have been caught forgetting to change
frequencies: No, nothing from TRT either on 9880, 9875, 9635, 9460 or
5960. Somethings always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2146 monitoring: confirmed Friday
July 8 from 1815.2 on IRRS SW via Bulgaria 7290, S8/S9+15 into
UTwente; also via AM Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 kHz, S9+20 into
nearby Noale SDR, and this time also on better 918 kHz, S9+30; but no
signal on LW 207 kHz: are they ever running that any more? Played to
completion before 1844 music fill.

Also tuned these in earlier: 1323 & 918 at 1754 with `Counterspin`
excellent program but merits being more than a fragment-filler,
chopped off before finished at 1800 for ``IRRS SW signing-on`` and
right into Feature Story News. As always the 7290 transmitter
cannot/will not/never does cut on air until 1800.8 JIP FSN. 1805 IRRS
ID with PO Box in Milano they otherwise deny access to; 1805.6 YL solo
song and more music; 1813 DJ on WBAI, `Off the Hook` is ``coming up,
now 7:02 pm``. A fragment of another excellent show opening until
chopped off at 1815 IRRS quick ID and then WOR.

Both those programs deserve specific regular spots on IRRS; so I
search each of the 7 daily program schedules on each name, Hook and
Counterspin via:
https://www.nexus.org/member-services/radio-and-tv/schedules/
and do not get a single hit; including mostly webcasting-only filling
the 24 hours.

WOR 2146 also confirmed Friday July 8 at 2030.5 on AM Italia 918 &
1323, both slightly stronger now with 918 still superior, S9+32 vs
S9+22. Some other talk show was chopped off at 2030 for IRRS ID.

Also confirmed UT Saturday July 9 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/15 into
Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Saturday July 9 at 0400 on WBCQ 5130, S6/S9 into
Rochester SDR, -27 Hz = 5129.973. For a change, the PEI SDR was also
getting 5130 well earlier during the 0230 R. Angela Greek music show.

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Saturday July 9 tuned in AAAWWW on WBCQ
webcast just seconds too late circa 0050 to catch the datestamp, so is
it live and new? Proceeds to scan some items from Free Radio Weekly
including my Enid pirate on 27185, without any useful detail, and an
FM pirate elsewhere on 90.3 so we know it is last week`s FRW as even I
have not yet received this week`s issue so we know Harold Frodge is
not editing it. It`s probably last week`s AAAWWW repeated. When Dave
edits, he does not publish it until many hours later, such as 1357
July 9 this week, and refusing my further 27184+ logs (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. One of the distances in my July 4 Es FM DX report was wrong,
inadvertently copying the entry just before it, Mt Wilson, instead of
correct Las Vegas NV as in other logs: 1545 km = 960 miles for 93.1
KYMT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. DXMAP shows 100+ MHz Es MUF westward, July 9 circa 1500 UT;
if there is any DX, Randy Zerr is showing it from his remote corner of
Nevada. This conflicts with monitoring LRA36 via remote on computer,
see ANTARCTICA. But at 1517 I start bandscanning FM on the caradio.
Furthermore, morning tropo is up from my fringers in Tulsa, Kansas. I
do have some brief unIDs which may be Es:

94.9 at 1519 rock; 94.5 at 1520 about video courses.

94.3 at 1511, financial talk, not // 95.1 so not the Bott in Kansas,
but this is in mono like it is. By 1526, these frequencies are // so
only KS and OK. Continued under [spoiler] OKLAHOMA (Glenn Hauser, OK,

17 had been weak and somewhat not decoding, but not sure if them or my

WORLD OF RADIO 2146 monitoring: confirmed first broadcasts UT Friday
July 8 at 0130 on WRMIs: 7730 via Maryland SDR and S9+10/20 direct;
and 5850, S9+10/20 direct at 0145 but with storm crashes, somewhat
undermodulated and suppressed. Clearer on 7730. As usual on System F,
my last few words are overridden by Bishop Bob Biermann`s canned ID
claiming to be on 9395! Also before 0159 I compared 5850 modulation to
5800 & 5950 which were definitely louder and clearer.

Also confirmed UT Friday July 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA but slightly
better into Missouri than Maryland SDR, both vs HSNL = high storm
noise level. Unfortunately there are no Kiwis in Central America where
7780 is now aimed!

Also confirmed Friday July 8 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S9/S3 direct with
no jamming audible. Next: 1815 on IRRS as above (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Another log I overlooked in the sporadic E FM DX session

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Huge sporadic E FM DX opening on July 4: on caradio parked
in hottening garage, vertical fender antenna only, no RDS, no
even-frequency side-tuning, no internet access until later research.
No recordings. All logged in real time by my own ears on own receiver,
no remotes. All times UT in chronological order. PTA = probable target
area. Distances are approx., city-of-license to Enid
distancefromto.net, not site to site. I am not counting stations,
states or anything and not in competition. Some logs are presumed, and
any correxions or help with IDing are very welcome. Other standard
provisos with my previous reports apply.

KXTA-FM 99.1 GOODING ID Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN LA PERRONA 99.1 64.0
kW 70.0 m. 1610 km = 1001 mi. Gooding is near Twin Falls. Strange name
for a station, literally ``big bitch``? Google ``translates`` to same
word in English, an anomaly already dealt with at Quora:

``Google translate says the word "Perrona" in Spanish means "Perrona"
in English. Is that a correct translation or not?``

Luis Carlos Olmeda · Follow Knows Spanish4y replies:
``Perrona in Spanish is an adjective that’s mostly used in the
northern part of México, to refer that something is cool in a more
unpolite way, like “f-ing awesome” (but not exactly, as “f-ing
awesome” would be considered rude, and when it comes to be polite, the
word “perron/perrona” -perrona would be the femenine case- doesn’t
break the rule).

Now, to go more into specifics, the origin of that word has the prefix
“perr-” which comes from the word “perro”, whose literal translation
would be “dog”. Now, if you ask me why does it have that prefix, I
wouldn’t know, and to be honest I don’t think that any Mexican could
give you an explanation about it.

Hope this answers your question, as it’s the first one that I get to
answer in Quora, and my English is far from being perfect. Saludos
desde México!``

Heather Muñoz· 2y replies: ``Reminds me of English slang: bitchin’
from the 1960s, meaning awesome, excellent, very cool``

That doesn`t help much to ID as the DB does not show which but of
course it makes sense for talkers to turn off stereo for better

Still going at 1907 but after 2.5 hours of intensive DXing in the
uncomfortable car seat getting hotter, I break for R&R and a late
lunch. Resuming at 1946-1956, no DX. I wonder if the opening moved on
to Saskatchewan?

BTW, the mass shooting in Highland Park IL had just happened, but in
all my tuning of DX and past local FM stations I never heard a word
about it, while it was wall-to-wall on the cable TV news networx.
Commercial radio is a totally different world!

As I finally complete this compilation July 8 at 1725 UT there is a
100-MHz MUF peak on DXMAP, over SE OK/NE TX, which mean all the FM DX
