** CUBA. 6100, July 9 at 0612, RHC in wrong language Spanish instead
of English; 5040 and 6000 are off; only 6165 with English at S9+10/20
concluding NAm weather report by Chief Meteorologist; and JBA carrier
on 6060, is that RHC? Only other listee is SRDA 24h from Brasil in
Aoki, but never reported, not even in WRTH 2021 nor in EiBi..
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. No luck on FM DX today July 9 but a few relogged 10m ham
beacons:

28224.5-CW, July 9 at 2012, K5GJR/B EL17:
``28.2245 K5GJR C CORPUS CHRISTI, TX # 5W, VERTICAL``
There was phone QRM from English QSO in USB-28226.

28289.6-CW, July 9 at 2016, AL AL AL DE WJ5O/B:
``28.2893 WJ5O C TROY ALABAMA # 2W VERTICAL New Frequency 25 Jan 14``
i.e. the very proprietor of the 10m beacon roster on qsl.net

28281.0-CW, July 9 at 2019, DE W8EH ...
``28.281 W8EH C MIDDLETOWN OHIO # 8W, GP VERTICAL``

Also lots of CB pileups via sporadic E, and freebanders such as unID:
27455-USB, July 9 at 2023, CCI from at least two QSOs in Spanish and
partly in English; apparently they do not bother each other. Also WWV
JBA on 25000. Nothing else of interest in the 26s or 25s (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 7780, re WRMI with Hal Turner instead of WOR, UT
Fri July 9 at 0130, Jeff White explains, ``One-time only. We had an
Internet outage today, but it’s fixed now.``

one of *the* reliable sources of DX news. I look forward to enjoying
more editions of World of Radio in the next years to come!``

** U S A. 7570, July 9 at 0610, this WRMI is OFF, while others remain
on with The Overkiller: 7730, 5950, 5850, 5800, 4980; and at 0616, JBA
carrier on 9955, even less on 9455 & 9395, JJBBA carriers (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489v), July 10 at 0000-0101, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`;
after WTO, first fiddling with microphones, says trimulcasting on
7490, 6160 and 3265; has hardly started when allows a caller to
interrupt, Bill in Wyoming who can copy only one word out of three on
7490 and wants to know about the SuperStition being off. Will get to
that later. Then another call from Tim, the same guy who two weeks ago
was finally cut off when he was quoting Tom Metzger of Aryan
Resistance, objecting to Larry Will`s retort then and rambles on and
on. 0017 Allan starts trying to cut him off.

Then Allan is really pissed about the SS situation; Angela hardly says
a word during the hour except to murmur assent. The big PA tube came
apart and there is no spare. No one has seen anything like this
before. Blames manufacturing defect by Thalès in France. Costs $ 200K.
Does not say anything about it being insured or under warranty as I
have wondered. Looking for substitute/replacement and a new tube is on
order but they are custom-made.

Is fed up too with Windows 10 computer control of transmitter, with no
manual override. Paid top dollar for this stuff and it keeps breaking
down. Manufacturers are passing the buck rather than rushing out to
fix things. *THEY* are working on shutting down WBCQ; won`t say who,
but surely not sister Barbara? Now says the tube costs $ 210K, broke
like cheap glass or ceramic from China. May get Chinese to come and
work on it (?really?). Transmitter has never run right at full power;
Angela implies it`s been at half-power. Can`t get antenna crews in
either despite pay available of $ 1500/day. ``I`ve had it -- burned
out.``

0035 another caller suggests that TimTron is not the engineer to
depend on. Allan really blows his top about this, lauds TT as the best
transmitter engineer; but because of health problems he has not been
to Monticello in a sesquiyear; hopes he can visit soon. He got sick
after his last visit, pre-COVID. Cuts off caller and swears at him,
warns everybody not to criticise WBCQ staff or family on the air. (?
Free Speech has its limits). 0039 says the broken tube weighs 200-250
lbs so needs equipment merely to lift it.

At 0049 I check the Rockport, Maine remote, and find VG signals on all
three frequencies: 3265 + 157 Hz at S9+15/20; 6160 -106 Hz at
S9+10/15; 7490 -102 Hz at S9/+10. I continue listening to those
instead of web. 0053 finally datestamp as 9 July YOOL 2021. 0057
admires Jimmy & Rosalyn Carter on their 75th wedding anniversary and
hopes his marriage last as long (? at age 67 +70? = 137, I doubt it).
Time for just a few e-mails, but runs over to 0101.5, cut to Hal
Turner in progress. Here`s John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time this evening on both 6160 and 7490
with 7490 again having the better signal. Allan and Angela in the
studio. Opening talk about a new mic for Angela. Phone call at 0005
from a gentleman asking about the absence of 9330 lately. Allan said
he was going to talk about that later in the show. Caller said he was
only getting about every third word of the broadcast. Allan then
states they are also broadcasting on 3265 but I don't check as I would
have to readjust antenna tuner and pre-selector.

Another phone call at 0009. Caller was complaining about Larry Will
complaining about him during the program two weeks ago. Then some more
talk of socialists and communists. Finally started to talk about the
problems with 9330 and the tube that went out on the big transmitter.
Allan stated that they had a new tube on order but later said that
they might not use the same type of tube again and were looking into
other replacements. Also said he was considering having the Chinese
build him a new tube.

He mentioned that the big antenna needed some work done on it and so
far the company isn't sending over a crew to work on it.

Allan digresses a bit and briefly talks again about how "they" are
trying to drive WBCQ off the air.

Back to 9330, Allan states that they were looking into some other
transmitters to take up some of the slack on 9330 but no other
details. Phone call at 0035 asks if TimTron had been working on the
9330 transmitter and said that TimTron wasn't the one to work on it.
Allan got very upset, kicked the man off the phone and then had a mini
rant defending TimTron. Said that no one could call and attack any of
the staff at WBCQ or Angela and expect him to stay quiet about it. He
spent some time saying that TimTron was the best transmitter engineer
that he knew of. He also defended his decision to continue to
broadcast Brother Stair. Then a brief about Jimmy Carter's wedding
anniversary and how he hoped that he and Angela could last that long.
Reading of emails at 0057 and quick closing prayer at 0059 and program
was off at 0101. John Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 880, July 9 at 0629-0642+ UT, dead air from dominant signal
which loops N/S, obviously KRVN Lexington NE, instead of Bohannon? who
is on 720 WGN now. Nulling it, am getting praise music in English from
E/W, most likely KHAC Tse Bonito NM, which could even be on 10 kW day
power instead of 430 watts night. And there is Spanish music N/S/ish,
most likely 10/1 kW KJOZ Conroe TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re ``Only I reported WNJC Fourth of July special``, Someone
signing only as Bill replies July 8: ``Glen, I tried for the 4th
special but couldn't get anything here in Syracuse (FN13). We heard
WNJC many times during the winter tests, to the point where I can sing
the jingle ;) I reported that negative result on the WNJC Facebook
group. The FT8 tests were better for me this time around, though Duke
was having some issues with the stringent timing requirements given
his remote setup, and I was able to hear bits and pieces of the CW IDs
during those tests. Bill.``

And Kraig Krist, replies July 8: ``Heard in Manassas, VA beginning at
0044 UTC with bubble up tones. Fast speed morse code, sweep tones and
long tones. Not finished listening to my SDR capture as 10 hours takes
a while to listen. 73, Kraig`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1540.200, July 9 at 0622 UT, the most obvious off-frequency
het is still there, not bothered to keep logging, long ago traced to
10 kW ``daytimer``, WKVQ, Eatonton GA.

Was checking for KXEL which Artie Bigley laments has started carrying
Brother Scare at 0600-0800 instead of Red Eye Radio; they told him a
year contract but payable monthly; apparently some estate money was
released July 1 resulting in all the expanded SW & MW airtime. But on
1540.0 itself not hearing RER or TOMBS, rather John Denver, ``Wichita
Lineman`` and something else with sports talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re my FM DX log on 92.9 whether it was SC via Es or NE via
scatter, Rick Dau replies: ``Glenn, being in close proximity to
Lincoln/Beatrice, I can help nail this down for you. KTGL IDs as "92.9
THE Eagle", always including the article in DJ chatter, liners,
sweepers, and legals. Their signal makes it into the Omaha/Council
Bluffs metro with ease. So what you heard was almost certainly WEGX.
73, Rick Dau, South Omaha, Nebraska EN21af`` -- tnx, Rick (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6205, July 10 at 0114, no signal from ROCV into Bonaire
SDR. Jorge Freitas earlier had an unID on 6205 apparent Euro-pirate.
Come to think of it, have not seen any reports of ROCV since May 31.
Is it gone for good? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, July 8 at 0536, open carrier of S8-S9: could it be
Vanuatu? Too weak for Cuba and too strong for Van, but since there is
a JBA carrier on 7260 now, RV presumed back on that sked, and Havana
must be ailing, where something is always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13638 & 13762 approx., July 8 at 1443, RHC weak spurblobs
with music in FM and F# tone above Cmiddle as usual, out of 13700-AM
which is S9/+10. But the second orders JBA circa 13826 and trace 13576
bear a lower tone of C#, never noted before. Hz equivalents are
approx. 370 & 270. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15665, July 8 at 0528, JBA talk, listed as CRI
Russian via Urumqi at 04-06 --- a ``midnight sun`` log from the land
of ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Level-3 tropo blob predicted over N Central OK as far as
OKC brings in some LPTVs not normally visible. My antenna is now only
the roof-mounted ch 7+ VHF/UHF permanently aimed SSE toward OKC. Back
element reflector is a bit loose but taped up. This is UT Thursday
July 8 from 0315.

RF 28, Ion 44-1 which would be Tulsa
RF 35? KUOK PSIP seen briefly but should be 36? Saved by STB? The real
KUOK in Woodward is RF 36 & virtual 36; while the OKC version, KUOK-CD
is now also on RF 36 & virtual 36. What we normally see on virtual
36-1 is really from the full-power KTUZ-29 Shawnee transmitter also
with 30-1 as competing Telemundo, and 48-1 as Estrella TV.

BAD signals on 26, 22, 21, 20, 15, 11

At 0328:
RF 35, 35-1 with credits from NFB Canada film about native matters;
FNX logo but no other explicit ID nor any on the PSIP, and into
another First Nations program. This is solid on the STB into my old
CRT TV, but on the Sanyo DTV screen, error message ``Scrambled
Program``. No, it isn`t! Both my TVs are fed by splitting feed from
same antenna. It holds up for about 15 minutes as I am tuning around.

This is obviously K35MV-D licensed to Concho OK, which is just west of
OKC, and have seen before. Non-ID is ``47.1 FNX``. Rabbitears.com say
it is ``CATV 47``, presumably where it be found on Cox cable thruout?
OKC. FNX has *368* affiliates thruout USA, mostly LP or translators
but a real PBS station KNME Albuquerque included. More info from
website linked at rabbitears:

``Welcome! K35MV-D C&A TV - Cheyenne and Arapaho Television is proud
to serve you! ABOUT US:

Cheyenne and Arapaho Television- C&A TV is making history as the first
Native American owned and operated broadcast TV station in the State
of Oklahoma. It is one of only a handful of Native American TV
Stations in the U.S.

The establishment of K47MU-D Cheyenne and Arapaho Television was made
possible by a Facilities Grant from NTIA.

C&A TV is a low power Public Broadcast TV station broadcasting from
the C&A Tribal Headquarters in Concho, OK since July 2012.

In 2018 the FCC sold C&A TV's frequency to T-Mobile and required us to
change our broadcast frequency and call letters.
We are now channel 35.1 and have the call letters K35MV-D.

K35MV-D Cheyenne and Arapaho Television – C&A TV provides 100% Native
American television programming to our viewing audience 24/7 as well
as serve our tribal members by providing local community and tribal
government information, language education, and documenting our
cultural events.

C&A TV is a proud affiliate of the FNX Channel First Nations
Experience. www.fnx.org

Together with FNX, Cheyenne and Arapaho Television is providing
Oklahoma with a rich cultural viewing experience to our Native as well
as our Non-Native audience. It is our hope that we not only present
positive and inspiring images of Native Americans but also that
through cultural exposure and education, we foster a better
appreciation and understanding between Oklahoma's Non-Native and
Native communities.

OUR MISSION:

To preserve the history, language and culture of the Cheyenne and
Arapaho people and to present programming that informs, educates,
uplifts, inspires, and promotes their mental and physical well
being.

OUR VISION: 

CATV47 intends to provide the best Native American programming
available in North America that will respect, honor and uplift the
Native American peoples, traditions and cultures in general and
whenever and however possible, the Cheyenne and Arapaho people
specifically.

* LANGUAGE: We will strive to preserve and promote use of the Cheyenne
and Arapaho languages by producing original language education
programming aimed at both children and
adults.

* ELDERS: We will honor and respect our tribal elders by capturing and
preserving their stories and their wisdom.

* CHILDREN AND YOUTH: We will produce Children’s programming that
promotes a positive and healthy self-image by instilling a sense of
pride in their culture and heritage. We will also produce youth
programming that will promote healthy lifestyle choices ( to remain
drug free and avoid alcohol abuse) as well as staying in school and
promoting secondary education.

* SOCIAL ISSUES INFORMATION: Provide information on resources and
tribal programs for social issues that plague the tribe like suicide,
alcohol abuse, depression, domestic and sexual abuse, drop-outs, teen
pregnancy and unemployment.

* CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING: It is our hope that through exposure to
our television programming we may foster a better understanding and
appreciation of Native American culture among the Non-Native
cultures.

We hope that C&A TV will not only continue to be a symbol of pride and
accomplishment for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes but also a source
of quality Native American information and entertainment.

C&A TV is a public, non commercial, educational TV station and depends
on underwriting and generous gifts from viewers like YOU!

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed July 7 at 1510 tune-in, LRA36 is
underway, VP S1-S2 into Brasília #2 SDR, but much better S5-S8 into
Pardinho SP, where from 1512 I camp upon someone already exactly tuned
to it in McMinnville, Oregon. Tango in progress; same canned ID at
every break between tunes, 1515, 1519, 1522, the ``Nacional Antártida
Argentina -- la Radio Pública`` one. 1526 YL closing announcement
credits Ministerio de Defensa, so this Base is hardly civilian; also
acknowledges all the other LRAs around Argentina allegedly relaying.
Do they pick it up off this SW frequency or cheat via satellite or
web? Then OM s/off, and 1527-1531* Antártida song. No more mod, but
back to Bsla #2 SDR off-tuned to 15475.0-USB, I can tell the reduced
carrier stays on, JBA fading in and out making tone just less than
1000 Hz, and *still* on when SDR times out after 60 minutes at 1632,
and I`ve had more than enough. Maybe they leave it on to keep the room
warmer? Or electrical fluid is cheap? Hardly, nor maybe the Diesel to
generate it. Often after ``s/off`` they continue with more programming
but not today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 WOOB jammer survey July 7 at 1346: 13130 Chinese S2-S5;
13020 JBA; 12880 Chinese S2-S5; 12795 Chinese S3-S6; 12500 JBA
carrier; 13530 JBA. I continue to be amazed that certain reporters
keep claiming they are hearing Sound of Hope, blissfully ignorant of
the much more likely jammers; and editors don`t correct/challenge
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. During Es opening hour July 7 at 17-18 UT, on caradio,
see USA, I have to contend with nearby spoilers fading in and out, but
FWIW some log info on them:

99.5, July 7 at 1726, ``Big Country 99.5`` = KXBL Henryetta.

99.3, July 7 at 1727 ``radio special`` food ad; probably 3 kW KLOR-FM
Ponca City.

97.5, July 7 at 1732, sex counseling ad, ziprecruiter.com/radio; 1734
about recount so AZ maybe? but sports news mentions OU [why isn`t it
UO = University of Oklahoma?]; 1735 possibly different station, rather
clear ID as KFOD, but nonesuch even fuzzily rhyming, nor as AM call
translated to FM; must have been merely KMOD Tulsa, tho not sports
format.

104.5, July 7 at 1740, song with audio cutting out. Must be KZZW
Mooreland = Woodward ``market`` if you can call such small towns that.
No one at station paying attention? Woodward-Mooreland has a lot of FM
stations for its size, due to isolation: 16 of them, 10 of which are
full-power. 2010 population of Woodward was 12K; entire county was
only 20K. It`s 136 km = 85 miles from the nearest metropolis, Enid
with more than 4X the population; but 12 FM stations, only 4 of which
are full power and one of those, 96.9 really funxions as an OKC
station (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7730, July 7 at 0538 UT, WRMI with trace of
JBM on S9+20/30 signal while TOMBS is blasting in on 7570, etc. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 monitoring: did anyone hear the Wed 1030
on WRMI 5850? Confirmed Wed July 7 at 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490 minus 83 Hz
per Maryland SDR = 7489.917, S7-S9. But NOT confirmed at same time on
WRMI 7780 which is NOT on the air! Still off circa 2340; Okeechobee
did not seem to be too close to the Elsa storm track.

Next, and last:
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

New WOR 2094 should be ready for download by early UT July 9 and first
SW airings Friday at 0130 on WRMI 5850 & if on air then, 7780 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5010, July 7 at 1116, JBA here and not 5015, presume WRMI
back on non-wrong frequency, as reported by Ivo 23 hours before. Still
no reply from Jeff about this; usually when he does not reply to a
direct inquiry it means there is something negative he would rather
not discuss (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also SOUTH CAROLINA [non]

** U S A. 15825, July 7 at 1351, WWCR-1 is Just Barely Modulated, or
to be charitable, very undermodulated. I have no way of quantifying
such judgments. Have to turn volume way up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Sporadic E patch MUF 94 MHz over New Mexico, so looks
promising for westward DX; on caradio in garage I start at 1707 UT
July 7:

87.75, July 7 at 1707, first thing tuned is Spanish! Slightly better
on 87.7 than 87.9; likely a FrankenFM, which will have to drop dead on
July 13 when everything has to be DTV, with a few exceptions such as
remote Alaska. Two women conversing, first about TicToc; 1712 about
Puerto de Veracruz, so could it be a lingering full-power analog
Mexican TV channel 6? Probably not: is religious plugging a `conexión
de verano con Jesús`` el 11 de julio; 1715 fading in and out. Mentions
guadaluperadio.com and program is `Mujeres de Fe`. Then I`m scanning
upband; by 1728, 87.7 is fading, gone by 1737 and not much more in the
next semihour. Uplooked later in the WTFDA FM Database, only hitfit
is:

``KSFV-LP 87.7 SAN FERNANDO VALLEY CA Spanish RELIGIOUS GUADALUPE
RADIO 3.0 kW horiz. only, 0.0 meters HAAT! 34-12-46 118-03-42
A41F``
1876 km = 1166 st mi city to city per distancefromto.net

94.1, July 7 at 1710, something in English trying to get past 94.3.

93.1, July 7 at 1717 CCI to KS in English, 1718 MontsterMedia.com of
Yuma = https://www.monstermediayuma.com/ so it is no doubt:

``KLJZ 93.1 YUMA AZ HOT AC Z-93 TODAY'S BEST MUSIC 100.0 kW H&V
only 25.0m HAAT 32-39-06 114-39-04 2E0F`` 1584 km = 984 statute miles.
Also ads for casino, summer splash at San Luis AZ; CCI:

93.1, July 7 at 1720, ``93-1 The Mountain, Valley traffic`` on Las
Vegas Blvd. I bet it`s the one in NV:

``KYMT 93.1 LAS VEGAS NV HD ROCK 93.1 THE MOUNTAIN 23.5 kW H&V 1183.0
m HAAT 35-57-55 115-30-00 18CF 93-1 The Mountain World Class Rock
Adult Hits`` 1545 km = 960 stmi. Site is SW of LV closer to the CA
border where there are a couple of mountains higher than that.

97.3, July 7 at 1722 strong briefly, national ads getroman.com, GEICO,
get a 97.3 app, 1725 sports talk about CBS, probably this:

``KWFN 97.3 SAN DIEGO CA HD SPORTS 97.3 THE FAN 50.0 kW H&V 134.0 m
HAAT 32-43-13 117-04-14 4AA7 97.3 The Fan The FAN, San Diego's Only FM
Sports Station Sports`` It also has a bunch of co-channel boosters
under 100 watts elsewhere in southern California. SD = 1810 km 1024
mi

99.5, July 7 at 1753, ``Real Country`` slogan. No exact hits on that
in WTFDA but Google search on slogan and MHz leads to KXPL Las Cruces
NM whose main brand is Zia Country; but that`s a bit too close, 934 km
= 580 stmi; and to KHAZ Hays KS, more likely fringe scatter signal,
304 km = 189 stmi. Some others seem Okie spoilers, q.v. (Glenn Hauser,

always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140 & 11760, July 6 at 1421, no signals from these RHCs;
9710 music poor, and 9535 JBA carrier, at least on. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, July 6 at 1500, ``Kashmir Civitas`` ID in
passing shortly after opening in presumed Urdu via Romania; another
weekly Tuesday clandestine, S9+15 into UTwente. BTW, Civitas is
pronounced Sivitas, not Kivitas as in klassical Latin; but what has
any Latin to do with this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

extended hours, poor but // 7570 with TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 3215, July 7 at 0251, WWCR-1 at S9+10/20 of
dead air from dead Stair; 0317 in storm noise level I think I detect a
trace of JBM.

3265.1+ meanwhile, TOMBS via WBCQ circa 0300 is a JBA off-frequency
carrier, fortunately totally unusable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Tue July 6 at 2218, WRMI with Radio Emma Toc, World
Service, that strange quasi-DX programme monthly from Britain; bits
about R. Caroline, and Good Morning Vietnam. Show is going on hiatus
for a while after this one, he says (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5010, July 7 at 0139, WRMI-14 poor here in noise, not 5015,
altho Ivo Ivanov found it on ``wrong`` 5015 in the July 6 morning at
1210 & 1230 via Boca Ratón SDR. Must check that July 7 in the 11-14 UT
span. Have asked Jeff about it but no reply yet (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) See also SOUTH CAROLINA [non]

** U S A. 4980, July 7 at 0140, WRMI-4 with squeal on USB not LSB of
my R75, but is it transmitted or receiver artifact? Recheck at 0357 on
Key West SDR, no squeal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, July 7 at 0142, WRNO is back on after missing last
night; whew (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5830, July 7 at 0144, WTWW-1 carrier is cutting on and off
the air about once per second but not exactly, making the PPPP
modulation unusable, tsk2. Still so past 0200+; hey Ted, haven`t you
noticed something`s slightly wrong? Don`t you even listen raptly to
your benefactor? Recheck at 0219, now carrier stays on.

5085 meanwhile, WTWW-2, July 7 at 0145, carrier still jittery but
nowhere near as bad as 5830; yet obviously defective (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

So far you are the only report I have received. I am actually away
from the local area (in Maine myself) and was unable to copy it. I
think conditions haven't been ideal for DX unfortunately. If the
station is still around in the fall, hopefully there will be an
October event with a finale on Halloween. Duke, kc2dux`` (Glenn

** U S A. 106.5, July 6 at 1753 UT, Radio Lobo ID in Spanish,
following ``Jambalaya`` song in English! On caradio near artesian well
NNW of Enid circa Great Salt Plains. It`s KYQQ, 100 kW in Arkánsas
City KS, not an obvious SS area, but suspect rimshotting into Wichita.
Inside Enid obscured by local on 106.3. AM bandscanning out of the
question with heavy storm noise, must be from KS not bright and clear
OK. At least can tell no local 530 or 1610 TIS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
