area. Anyone DXing this by sporadic E skip? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Hepburn tropo map shows Level 5 = strong blob edging Enid
over SE half of OK into AR, so bandscan from 1426 UT June 12:
BAD signals on RF: 9, 10, 11, 20, 23, 31, 32, 35 which are otherwise
open; also OK channels baddened no doubt by DX QRM: 7, 17. Channel
which ought to bear DX but nothing due to two DX CCI: 26. Decodes:

RF 28, Ion 44: KTPX Okmulgee OK for Tulsa
RF 34, 41-1, KMYT-TV Tulsa OK
RF 36, 17-1, TBN-HD KDOT-TV Bartlesville OK for Tulsa mkt

RF 21, 40-1, KHBS-DT, Fort Smith AR, ABC: site is near Poteau,
OKLAHOMA per FCC contour map!!
RF 20, 19-1, KQCW-HD Muskogee for Tulsa
No time to explore multi/sub channels for each, but rabbitears.info
listings I have found to be quite accurate.

As always my DTV DX is via Zenith set-top-box converter, fed by one
antenna about 7 feet above roof peak, hi VHF/UHF only, reflector
element slightly broken/hanging misaligned, fix-aimed SSE toward OKC,
and no amp. Under dead condx it will not decode KETA 13, KOCM 16, KSBI
23. Besides not being on UHF, OETA`s problem is QRM from 2nd harmonic
of local 107.1 KNID which falls within ch 13 on 214.2 MHz.
I used to be able to get KETAs-13 by carefully placed rabbit ears, but
not lately: something changed?? Several greater FM/TV antennas and
rotors have not survived storms thru the years. Thus I cannot even try
for lowband Es DTV DX; altho this antenna did once manage to DX KBSD
RF6 Ensign KS by strong tropo so I do recheck for that (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SLOVENIA. 18130 USB, June 11 at 22224, sounds like CR51DX, as in a

I`m bandscanning the entire 22-25 MHz range for anything at all other
than hams which are propagating above and below, and this is all I
hit. I`m hoping for some broadcast harmonix, but no luck yet. I showed
in my Hunting Harmonics [sic] with Hauser column in NASWA FRENDX, SWBC
harmonic ranges, but which would now be:
23000-24320 for 2 x 11 MHz band;
23200-24800 for 4 x 5/6 MHz band;
23750-25650 for 5 x 4/5 MHz band.

Further ranges from more bands can be calculated up to 31 MHz or even
higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Rocking M Moves Forward With Bankruptcy Reorganization
By Adam Jacobson - March 29, 2022

Three years ago, a family feud of sorts ensued for Doris and Monte
Miller. The longtime Kansas-based broadcasters dismissed two family
members, son Christopher Miller and grandson Cale Miller, from the
company. Then came barbs from Doris and Monte that Christopher Miller
had unwisely expanded Rocking M Media‘s holdings to 32 stations
between 2008 and 2018, putting the finances in a difficult position.
There was also a April 2019 deal that never closed, with Doris and
Monte Miller seizing control and taking the stations dark.

Today, Doris and Monte Miller are moving forward with a plan designed
to ensure the family’s media holdings, which date to the 1880s,
continue to generate profit while bringing luster back to a legacy
that includes The A.Q. Miller Family School of Journalism and Mass
Communications at Kansas State University, named after Monte’s
father.

Rocking M Media has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection.

Update: On May 11, 2022, Rocking M Media filed paperwork with the FCC
amending its licensee status to “debtor in possession.”``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Sporadic E FM DX opening from the east, June 12 between 1652

little to show for it. Full details in next report: 94.3 WRLX Riviera
Beach FL; 95.1 WRNS-FM Kinston NC; 100.7 WRDU Rocky Mount NC; and I
hope more to be IDed or logged later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, June 12 at 0630, RV with music at S8/S9 on 3 x 3945
reactivated; as Manuel Mendez, Spain, first reported before 0600 on
7260 instead of 5040. Also JBA carrier on 7890 = 2 x 3945 (Glenn

This report despatched at 1951 UT June 12

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday June 11 at first check 1423,
no signal yet from LRA36 into Bs As remote, nor at 1453 vs S3/S4 noise
level on it; and still not at 1500. 1508 checking Campo, Brasil
remote; 1510 Brasília is now getting it JBA S1/S2, so back to Bs As
where it`s much better, S6/S7. Has just signed on late as often
haphazard. 1511 Antártida themesong. 1514 canned ID as ``Radio
Arcángel San Gabriel, Base Esperanza, su compañía``, omitting
``Nacional`` unlike all the others, song. 1518 the YL DJs finally come
on ``live``, greeting listeners to sexto programa of 2022 season, i.e.
the same one we heard on Wednesday. One of the YLs has a noticeably
higher-pitched voice. Geo coordinates -- they always mention that.
Base was founded on 17 December 1952. Current clima temp was: minus 1
C, warm enough to caminar = walk around outside.

Abruptly cut off air 1522* until cut back on at *1531 during song.
1536 another new? canned ID by OM voice. 1537 efemérides = this week
in history including 1980? first TA flight from Bs As to Auckland NZ.
Then about Maldivas: not an hour can go by without discussing those
islands that Argentina is obsessed with. 1545 song. 1547 canned ID,
acknowledging listeners in Italy, Argentina, Colombia. 1551 contact
info. Signal is peaking now, VG, so that my fluency with Argentine
Spanish rather than reception is the limiting factor. 1553 a bit more
Malvinas history. Who would win a referendum among inhabitants, I
ask?

1600 music. 1606 canned ID, now fading a bit, repeat temp as minus
one. Says today`s = June 8 amanecer was 10:18 local = 1318 UT. Primary
meaning of amanecer is sunrise, but could be loosely confused with
totally different dawn, really alborada. gaisma.com agrees about 1320
for SR, while sunset would be 1813 UT; she also mentioned SS but could
not catch it. 1611 contact info again; 1617 citing significant dates
for military or geopolitcal events: 1952, 1954, 1957, 1961, 1964.
Signal now S5/S9 caused not by fading but by USB modulation. 1628
mentions ``próximo programa`` so probably about to close, song. 1633
ID and staff list, ``Nacional nos une``, music until cut off at 1635*.
Typical clumsy operation. Left it on until 1700 in background, but no
more. Nor any sign of an 1800 repeat as alleged, no signal at 1830
check.

Once again I lament the lame crutch they employ, citing so much
historical info rather than what is going on *now* or recently at
Esperanza or other outposts. FWIW,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanza_Base
says ``Research projects include: glaciology, seismology,
oceanography, coastal ecology, biology, geology, and limnology`` but
with no details at all.

Gary Pence, Dallas, tells me, ``Hi Glenn, I guess they just went QRT
mid song. I was listening thru LU4AA as well. QRT at 1635z. Heard also
on KFS Halfmoon Bay, CA. Heard one S unit above an S4 noise floor,
best between 1530 and 1600z`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9677.526V, June 11 at 0631, RVM with wavering carrier and
much weaker than usual, S3/S4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, June 11 at 0627, surprise! RNZP reactivated and
*also* // 11725! Yes, they do have two transmitters but one normally
only standby. Certainly not the expected new #3 which may not be ready
for service until a year from now. Both are S9+10/20, slightly less
selective fading on 11. No sign of Romania in German on 9700, but
would have just closed at 0627, clashing until then? Playing song
outroed as ``No, No, No``; would that be the Saturday night request
show? Nothing about 9700 on RNZP websked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, June 11 at 0500-0508, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:
Security Issue` with YL#1 - they never give their names - for Day 107
of Russia`s war, vs ``invincibility of Ukrainian army``. Russians are
trying to find a place to hold a referendum in ``temporarily occupied
territories`` but can`t. VG into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2142 monitoring: This bit in last
report I said 918 only, but meant 1323 only; fixed:

WOR 2142 also confirmed June 10 at 2036 the 2030 on AM Italia 1323
only, S9 into Noale.

And I should have added: TUC Radio opens with seabird calls; at 1808,
1323 had some intermittent 2-way QRM, likely ham transmitter
overloading the Kiwi. Trouble is, most of them are located at ham
stations nearby to transmitters. Also later, some ACI from other MW
signals on 1314 & 1332.

Also confirmed UT Saturday June 11 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/15 into
Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Saturday June 11 from 0359.8 on WBCQ R. Angela,
5130, S9+10/15 to Maryland SDR. Tuned in earlier from 0333, blues
music and conversation in English, yet it really is `From the Isle of
Music` [Cuba].

Also confirmed Sat June 11 after 1600 on WRN webcast to N America.
Next, besides another WRN webbing at 1930: At 1920 15770 is playing
world music fill, and 1930 now filled by NC gospel huxter, so we must
conclude that WOR airing on WRMI is definitely canceled. Next:

Oklahoma CB pirate report on 27185v, but he does not go into any
usable details. So we know it`s new, as this FRW has just been
published. Of the three rotating editors, Harold Frodge is most prompt
in getting it out ASAP after the 0000 UT Saturday deadline.

At 0053 I quickly check SW frequencies via Maryland remote: besides
7490v, it`s also on 6160v and 5130, but not on 3265 like a biweek
ago. 5130 is the ``Radio Angela`` outlet otherwise not starting until
*0155. So I wonder what will happen between 01 & 02? Tonight it does
stay on with rock music at 0105 & 0128 chex. As UB frequently
outpoints, that hour and others beyond the Angela block are for
sale.

This week, at least, the 7490 webcast cuts AW off for an AW canned ID

with what makes a station unique, like its *callsign* would be more
helpful, if not the Facility Number. Uplooked later on WTFDA DB,
including various varieties of how to punxuate Q97, comes up with one

** CUBA. 11850, June 10 at 0433, RHC Spanish, S9+30/40 but very
suptorted. This transmitter always flanked by plus/minus 10 kHz spur
carriers on 11840 & 11860, but now with supersignal fundamental, also
detect further multiples of JBA spurs on: 11830 & 11870; and even
weaker, 11820 & 11880. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9790, June 10 at 0438, S9+35/50 of dead air except
for some hum, atop French direct from RFI, which surges when Cuba
fades. 9790 is the CRI relay supposed to be in Cantonese 04-05 after
English 03-04. Total failure! Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba.
Even worse, 9790 can be left on past 0600 as recently (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, June 10 at 0443, RHC in wrong language, Spanish instead

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5, June 10 at 2106 UT, country music on this CB
channel, S9+25 steady and obviously local. Now some CBer has graduated
to being a SWBC pirate; probably the same one previously blasting
27185v with carriers and tones. 2110 end of song and this turns out to
be relay of local KOFM and is //103.1, as YL DJ starts interviewing
Dan Schiedel [Shy-dell], exec director of United Way of NW Oklahoma,
in Enid. Seems they are promoting a golf tournament. He used to be
head of PBS in Oklahoma, OETA; then retired a few years ago, and we
were surprised when he wound up in Enid. Still going with music at
2143. There was skip on busy CB channels 27025 & 27085, so KOFM relay
may well have been DXable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 28, June 10 circa 1505 UT, some tropo enhancement on a
few BAD VHF and UHF, channels, only this decoding as ION ``44`` which
is: KTPX-TV Okmulgee. Rabbitears.info shows it 1000 kW ERP direxional
NE for Tulsa market, hardly suitable for us, but commonly seen with a
bit of trophelp (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN [non]. 11650, June 10 at 0430, S9/+20 African language, SSOB,
then that wonderful ``Radio Dabanga`` singing ID. Via MADAGASCAR at
0430-0500, following Radio Tamazuj for Sudan South at 0330-0430; both
250 kW at 335 degrees, carrying on well to N America far beyond (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28289.7 CW, June 10 at 2103, AL AL AL DE WJ5O/B WJ5O/B
WJ5O/B, the OSOB as sporadic E is barely funxioning from Troy,
Alabama. His list says power is only 2 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO 2142 monitoring: confirmed first SWBCs, UT Friday June
10 at 0130 on WRMIs: into Missouri SDR, 7730 S9+5/15, 5850 S9+20/35.
Into Maryland SDR: 7730 S9+10/15; 5850 S9+5/20.

Also confirmed UT Friday June 10 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, fair but noisy
into Missouri SDR.

Missed checking Fri June 10 at 1430 on WRMI 9955; anyone hear it?

Confirmed Friday June 10 from 1815.4 on IRRS SW via Bulgaria 7290; and
AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, no 918 or 207. 7290 fair via NW Ireland SDR;
1323 via nearby Noale SDR, S9; both noisy.

Tuned in both earlier: 7290 from 1756 only with Chinese, 1800
timesignal, *1800:52 or so, IRRS cuts on with Feature Story News from
Washington, in progress; while 1323 was playing soul music before
1800, then IRRS sign-on and FSN, including Spotlite segment at
1803-1804.5; 1805 more IRRS ID with the PO Box in Milano they
otherwise say not to use; and no more News in Brief from the UN. This
week it`s the start of TUC Radio, interview with Noam Chomsky about
Ukraine, chopped off at 1815 for IRRS ID and then WOR. I am humbled by
IRRS demonstrating that what I have to say is more important than
Noam. Busy, I don`t track whether WOR play to completion at 1844, but
it usually does unlike the filler fragments before and after.

[TUC Radio deserves a full slot of its own. A long-running US leftish
show, stands for Time of Useful Consciousness. Read all about where
that comes from, linx to podcasts including the Noam episode
originally May 24: https://tucradio.org/ IIRC, it used to be on RFPI
in Costa Rica, but I think not on WRMI or WBCQ, let alone 100%
far-right gospel huxter stations. TUC emphasizes it`s *free* via
Pacifica among other sources -- gh]

[As for FSN, I`m not sure I get their business model: lots of bureaux
around the world but costs stations only $ 15 a month to get it:

** U S A. 7730, Friday June 10 at 0500 I miss checking WRMI for UR1
relay with `Ukraine: Security Issue`; but tune in at 0604, there is
Russian talk about Ukraine, certainly not R. Tirana as currently
scheduled on System H, 7730, 0600-0630 on Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri/Sun; and on
Wed only, RFPI presumably Russian and 0615 Power of the Word.

Also something new on Sat only at 0600-0630, `NBCWO`??? Nothing about
that on the programming page or disgraced FB recently. It`s also Thu
at 0830-0900 on 5850 & 7780, Sat 2330-2400 on 9395. Check it out?

** U S A. 5085, June 10 at 0444, WTWW is S9+35/40 on fundamental but
cannot detect usual parasitic spurs on 5072.1, 5097.9! What has Ted
done with them? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 7260, June 10 at 0440, VR opening Ukrainian invoking JC,
S5/S7; as scheduled 0440-0500 plus Russian at 0500-0530 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. June 10 at 0420-0425, 16m bandscan on interior
shortwire N/S finds lots of signals bleeding in from the Dayside tnx

** AUSTRALIA. After finding no activity on higher hambands, Es or F2,
finally, this OSOB: 18140 USB, June 8 at 2128-2138, VK4SX making N
American contacts, mostly unheard but one calls him Dennis, and
eventually put together infrequent IDs as VK4SX. QRZ.com:

VK4SX Australia flag Australia
Dennis.A. EDEY
NO QSL
NO QSL AT ALL Bundaberg, QL 4670

Nor does he wish to be spotted. That`s just south of Cairns on the NE
coast of Queensland, tenth-largest city in the state. LOTS of equipment
photos on his page, but not a single human, not even in the upper-right
corner, rather antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9667.5 approx., June 9 at 0647, RVM music S7/S9, again
jumped way above 9667 after last check just above nominal 9665 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2142)

WORLD OF RADIO 2142)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed June 8 at 2208, REE is VG for token English, even
on DX-398 portable with a few feet clipped on; Amy Egan`s feature is an
interview with director of new film `Operation Mincemeat` about
deceiving the Germans in WWII; which has just opened in Spain under a
totally different title as literal translation would make no sense.
Original interview had questions in Castilian which Amy voiced-over,
while answers were in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, June 9 at 0500, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine:
Security Issue` in English by the other YL with accent, including:
Russia holding 600 people in ``torture centers``. VG via Maryland
remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2142)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2141 monitoring: not confirmed Wed
June 8 at 2100:21 on WBCQ 7489.9v since it`s a JBA carrier direct,
can`t even recognize my voice let alone confirm correct episode; and
the computer for closer remote or streamcheck is out of reach right
now. Did anyone hear it? Yet the flat-earth crap on 9330 is S9+22 in
English. Despite huge disparity in power and gain, the puny Classic
transmitter might have a chance of audibility if it were on 9 MHz or
higher in the daytime, above summerdaytime lower-band absorption.

Confirmed UT Thursday June 9 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 S9+10/20 but stormy
into Missouri SDR; and also 9455, S9+5/15.

Also confirmed UT Thursday June 9 at 0130 on WRMIs: 9395, S9+10/20 to
Missouri SDR; 5010, S9/+10 into Bonaire SDR.

** U S A. 9955, June 9 at 0644, WRMI-5, S9+10 with TOMBS over Cuban
pulse jamming, notably also putting out obvious spurs with traces of
same audio at plus/minus 5 kHz on 9950 & 9960, but also with declining
strength to JBA carriers at plus/minus 10 and 15 kHz! 9940, 9945, 9965,
9970. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, June 9 at 0152, KWKH under an open carrier making a
fast SAH, i.e. KLEY Wellington KS is back on air but amodulous. And
obviously not cut to legal night power of ONE WATT rather than 250 W
day power, despite official sunset in June, and July, being 0145. It
seems no one but me cares about these violations, not even 50 kW KWKH
