** CANADA. ``Glenn, Concerning your comment that there are no other
advance-of-date decommissioning notices for Canadian beacons, there
actually is a new list of beacons to be decommissioned as of January
27, 2022. Scroll down to the bottom of the page at this link
https://www.navcanada.ca/en/air-traffic/navaid-modernization-program.aspx
to see the beacons to be decommissioned in Phase 7 of 12. Also, in
William Hepburn’s list, the higher-powered beacons are shown in caps,
with the highest powered ones shown in the largest font size. Steve
Howe, Saint Albans, VT``

That site also purports to explain why this ``modernization`` is being
undertaken, but is unclear to me and unconvincing. But then I am not a
pilot. ``Completion date of the project is planned for May 2024`` (via
Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, August 6 at 0559, RHC English is not on wrong frequency
5990; also same on 6100, better on 6165, much worse just hum on 6060.
By 0601, both 6000 and 5040 are off. See VANUATU. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6980-USB, August 6 at 2350 giving out a 302-area
code phone number; first thought it was a MARS net, but then for
call-ins to R. Free Vatever; DJ muses about forbidden Dungeons &
Dragons and plays such music. I did not copy the full phone number and
no one else reports it either. We may assume that 302 = Delaware is
not a clue to RFV real QTH. S6-S7 vs noise level. Many more logs:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,84739.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, August 6 at 2353, pirate DJ talking about
a nest? S5-S6 vs noise level. Many logs here as Camelback Radio about
Vermont, not Arizona; a Zekey station:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,84740.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 6 at 2200 and later, no signal from VOT English
to N America, checked at Maryland SDR. I believe it was there
yesterday but an earlier day this week was also AWOL. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2098 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBCs on WRMI: UT Friday August 6 at 0130, VG on 5850 direct; 7780
poor in storm noise via UTwente but VG S9+10/20 into Virginia SDR.

Also confirmed Friday August 6 at 2030-2059 on IRRS Shortwave via AM
Italia, 918 kHz, Granze, VG via nearby Noale SDR.

Larry Will notifies us August 6: ``Area 51 WOR schedule change --- Hi
all, Since Herald of Truth left WBCQ on July 1, we are able to move
World of Radio and Hobart Radio International from Sundays at 2200 UTC
(6pm eastern) to Mondays at 0300 UTC (11pm eastern) on 6160. This
should be a better time slot for these programs. This change is
effective this weekend. Regards, Lw``

4790 is also being evaluated as a replacement for all Area 51
programming instead of 6160. I would say wait until fall/winter as it
will have a smaller coverage area and confront more noise during the
storm season. OTOH, it`s free of QubaRM unlike 6160 from 6165. Next:

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Aug 7 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`
sounds familiar, going to do a ``tutorial on freedom`` as if we need
that from him; usual opening fiddling with mikes, praising Angela`s
appearance, for his eyes only. And then about the 175th anniversary of
Monticello ``tomorrow``, so this indeed is a repeat of last week`s
show, and John Carver agrees; no further monitoring needed (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Aug 6 at 0608, WWCR with S9+30 of dead air from TOMBS
in English. AGAIN. Keeps happening around this time of night, but not
on other WWCR or WRMI frequencies. How nice that they are wasting
their watts but the programming is thus upgraded (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 10080, Aug 6 at 0610, no trace of R. Vanuatu harmonic from
5040 nor has anyone ever? reported it here. 5040 however has been
reported on air well past 0600, instead of 3945 which does harmonicize
on 7890 and 11835. It`s still too early to hear RV on 5040 even if on
and Cuba be off, which it is this date (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

First number after the town is watts power, then geo coordinates. If
there be some significance to which ones are in CAPS or not, I don`t
know what. Currently there are no other advance-of-date decomm notices
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13530 & 12880, Aug 5 at 1422, only CNR1 jammers in the 10-11
& 12-13 MHz areas are these, both S9/+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 5009.934 to 5009.917, Aug 5 at 0319, JBA carrier
measured with carrier offset fluxuating minus 66 to 83 Hz, per
Knoxville SDR in SAM mode, as I check for absent WRMI. RNM is
habitually offset-minus around this area, and should have been better
an hour earlier, if WRMI-14 were still off then rather than nominal
0300* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, Aug 5 at 0637 check, 25-watt NDB in Ponca
City, PN, is off. Seems it comes and goes quite unpredictably, rather
than long absences (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 100.3, Aug 5 at 0057 UT, sporadic E FM DX check with some
high MUFs out there and some others DXing Okies not too far from me:
but only unusual I get on the caradio is some very weak Mexmx and
Spanish on this frequency. It is not fading much which is unlike Es
but also unlike typical fringe-area groundwave. Are there any SS
around here? Yes!

KCXR 100.3 TAFT OK USA Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN QUE BUENA TULSA 104.9
& 100.3 4.0 4.0 125.0 125.0 35-48-42 95-34-11

Taft is an insignificant town of 250 just west of Muskogee, not Tulsa.
The 104.9 is you guessed it a Tulsa translator, K285GW, but the WTFDA
db says it relays KXTD-1530, nor KCXR. And KCXR is not shown as
relaying anything. Or are all three really the same How-Good? The only
SS 100.3 in KS is a religious 100-watter way out in Ulysses, KQUI,
``cocky``? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. Some ND beacons reaudible with lessened storm and line
noise, besides some much further and stronger Canadians, q.v., Aug 5
at 0634-0641 UT:

417-MCW kHz, IY, Charles City IA, 25 watts
407-MCW kHz, HRU, Herington KS, 25 watts
395-MCW kHz, CA, Newton/Harvs KS, 25 watts
329-MCW kHz, PMV, Plattsmouth NE, 25 watts

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2097 monitoring: slept thru Wed Aug 4 at 1030
on WRMI 5850; was it on air this week? And also missed checking the
Wed Aug 4 at 2100 airings on WRMI 7780 and WBCQ 7489.9v; did anyone
hear them? I do check for the UT Thu Aug 5 at 0130 on WRMI 5010 ---
but it`s off the air! checked both at Bonaire and Knoxville. Also off
is 7570 while all other WRMIs are on, but 7730 is JBM. 7570 is still
TOMBSless, off at 0632.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Aug 4 at 1434, LRA36 on again for a
Wednesday if not Saturday broadcast; S4-S6 via Pardinho, Brasil SDR.
Usual mix of songs, frequent canned IDs, brief talx. 1434 music and
ID; [pausa para desayuno mío], 1514 weather; 1516 Antártida song; 1521
another song; 1538 multi-lingual greetings/IDs including English. 1540
as if ``sign-on``, today`s weather briefly, ``nublado, nevado`` =
cloudy and snowy, maximum -3 degrees, couldn`t copy the minimum;
contact info including phone, e-mail; songs; 1551, 1554 IDs; 1602 ID
and brief Olympic news [I doubt any Antarcticans compete; but how
about winter?]; 1614 ID, music; 1617 & 1622 ID; talk about something
in 1971y with G.C. 1639 ID; 1649 weather again; 1651 Anta. song; 1654
program ID as `El Lejano Sur` Wed at 11-13 local, no mention of Sat
repeat, SW and FM frequencies, G.C. of studios, staff credits, fade-up
Anta. song again, but not closing down yet, into another song past
1700; 1703 ID and multi-lang greet including English, German,
Russian/Korean and into vamp music loop. Today it keeps going on and
on: several minutes later, ``blanco, hielo y más hielo``, says it all
about the landscape; 1713 rock song and after that almost continuous
rock music, 1735, 1805, 1855, 1919 still going when I finally quit
checking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CONGO. 6115, Aug 4 at 0613, JBA carrier presumed R. Congo (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7215, 7165 and 7130, August 4 at 0308, pulse jamming peaking
on only these frequencies in 40m hamband, vs absolutely no one trying
to QSO on them. Bulletin! Hams have the flexibility to QSY anywhere
inband when necessary, so Cuban Commies need to jam ALL frequencies
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ERITREA. 7180 & 7140, Aug 4 at 0309, JBA AM carriers, the lower one
weaker, with some SSB QRhaM - obviously the two VOBME INTRUDERS at
best time of day to get them here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 93.5-FM, Aug 4 at 1956 UT, scanning caradio for sporadic E
DX as suggested by DXMAP, nothing showing even on lower `open`
frequencies, but here some Spanish occasionally overrides `My 93.5`
Pratt/Hutchinson KS, my fringe `local`. 2002, seems to be newscast or
at least talk format; 2007 another fadeup with timecheck as ``3 con
7`` so we know it`s CDT/EST, not Cuba which I hoped at first, rather
east/central México. 2009 ads or PSAs with .mx websites, one for
vacuna gratuita, and back to interview, YL in studio, OM on phone. Not
// 1460 KZUE OK which is also Mexican-originated talk. 2012 mentions
``acá en este estado de Guanajuato``. Fortunately small enough not
likely to have more than one 93.5, as listed:

XHNY-FM 93.5 IRAPUATO GTO MEX Spanish CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO EXA FM
30.03 30.03 217.0 217.0 20-42-11 101-23-26 --- 1780 km = 1106 stmi

I do believe I have heard it before. Yes: July 22, 2019; June 23,
2015. `CHR` format implies rock music, even in English, but own
website indicates more diversity; dated more than a sesquiyear ago, an
incomplete program list, hardly a schedule, shows one starting M-F at
17 UT, unknown whether more than 3 hours long:

Nota de EXA FM:
https://exafm.com/irapuato/programas/general/ness-al-aire/

``NESS AL AIRE 15-01-2020 - Escucha a NESS de lunes a viernes con la
mejor música y la información necesaria para continuar tu día a día.

El clima en el estado, lo último en tecnología y por su puesto las
notas que están dando de que hablar a nivel mundial en un solo
espacio, además de invitados con temas de actualidad que pondrán un
toque especial a cada día de la semana.

Lunes de deportes con Kike Cardoso.
Miércoles de cine con Alberto Segovia.
Jueves de sexo con Ana Elisa Rosas.
Viernes de recomendación literaria con el Padre Sergio Montoya.
Escucha de Lunes a Viernes en punto de las 12 del medio día.``

However from his portrait appears Ness is a guy, not a YL host; Exa is
also a national network/group so possibly the Guanajuato reference
came thru some other station. Only one in WTFDA DB with a news/talk
format is:

XHO-FM 93.5 MATAMOROS TAMPS MEX HD Spanish NEWS/TALK NOTIPAGE, LÍDERES
EN NOTICIAS 3.0 3.0 39.0 39.0 25-52-47 97-30-15

As researched later. Back online at 2036, I check the XHNH stream, and
it does sound like the same talk show (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, Aug 4 at 0619 UT, NDB PN at Ponca City is
gone again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 96.9, Aug 4 at 1859 UT, KQOB is back on already. I never
paid any attention to metered strength, but sounds like licensed 100
kW, and usual adjacent-channel bleed, so suspect they have got their
original Crescent site fixed already and won`t need the STA at KWPN
aux site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4096, August 4 at 0631 UT, JBA CW, too weak to copy, but
alternating with sweeps upward for about a minute at 0632, 0637. Must
be the ``DW`` beacon somewhere in the SW desert. I had been seeking
this since Art Peterson notified me June 17, but not until now has my
storm/line noise level descended to barely low enough:

``Glenn, The “desert whooper” beacon on 4096 has changed its format.
Instead of alternating the CW with the whoops, it is now superimposed
on the whoops. CW format is now:
8 dits, BEACON LTMP 37 BAT 131, 8 DITS
Also, the temperature appears now to be in °C instead of °F, they
dropped the DW ID in favor of “beacon,” and they have dropped having
an explicit decimal point on the battery voltage. Just thought you
would like to know. Still no idea where it is, but I get solid
reception at night here in grid CM87tw, SF Bay Area. 73, Art
Peterson``

Speaking of expressing temperature degrees, everyone else is wrong,
when referring to a *change* in temp, e.g. global warming. Degrees-F
or degrees-C means an axual temp. But when talking about a temp
*difference or change*, the terminology should be reversed, as in
F-degrees, or C-degrees. I learnt this in Physix 101 at Washington
University in 1963. Now journalists, e.g. Time magazine, and even
scientists just don`t get it. Just one example from Science News:

``Unbearably hot --- On June 29, the Pacific Northwest heat wave hit
its peak, setting new temperature records in Portland, Seattle and
Vancouver, and a new country-wide temperature record for Canada in
Lytton, British Columbia. This map shows how the temperature of the
air about 2 meters above the ground compares with the 2014–2020
average temperature for that same day. In some spots, it was a
whopping 20 degrees Celsius higher.``

I have copied the above to Science News feedback, and they promise to
read it, but no reply yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 940, Aug 4 at 0615, S9+30 signal with C2CAM, like a 50 kW
clear briefly, but then fades vs CCI. Presumably 5/1 kW KIXZ Amarillo
TX, only one of two C2C stations on 940 per last year`s NRC AM Log.
The other is also adjacently-stated, KSWM Aurora in SW Missouri, but
allegedly only 25 watts night. However, KIXZ night pattern supposed to
go NW, not ENE! while KSWM is ND.

https://www.coasttocoastam.com/stations/
Can be set to show all stations on one page, rather than state by
state, and indeed the only 940s currently are these two (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 97.3, August 4 at 1903, hunting for possible Es DX, I hit
upon a fadey fringer, plug for some 8/28 event; 1905 horse feed ad
with 620 area code; 1906 ``Continuous Country Q-97`` YL ID, thus:

** ANTARCTICA. Re 15475.98-RCUSB, Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, replies:
``Hi Glenn, I have asked the station staff why LRA 36 has not been on
the air the last two Saturdays and they answered that it was due to
weather conditions and activities at Base Esperanza. Best 73,s``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, August 3 at 0632, RHC English is nothing but humbuzz;
6100 undermodulated; 6165 & 6060 & 5040 off. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7157 & 7215, August 3 at 0635, pulse jamming continues in the
40m hamband against nothing, again peaking around these two
frequencies only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Aug 3 at 1503, Kashmir Civitas again booming
in to UTwente, VG S9+20 for another weekly Tuesday broadcast in
presumed Urdu with constant strumming underneath; one English word
heard: ``teamwork``. Via IRRS presumably Romania (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Daytime NDB check August 3 at 2215 UT: 515-MCW,
PN, Ponca City is back on; 350-MCW RG OKC and 351-MCW EI Enid also
audible, and even 395-MCW Ulysses KS - but not the other KS; and
332-MCW IC Wichita is unusually not audible. This on one receiver with
a lower noise level and loop antenna. A few minutes later on the other
receiver with higher noise and longwire, 515 PN is unheard, not even
the carrier, but 332 IC is JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, Aug 3 at 1545 UT on caradio, KIMY Watonga has
finally resumed modulating after 4 days of dead air as carrier stayed
on; praise music. The Praisee must have felt abandoned (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 96.9, Aug 3 at 1546 UT on caradio, KQOB is
still off the air for a second day, audiblizing the next 96.9, KKOW-FM
Pittsburg KS in the fringe with a 417 AC Joplin ad.

Brock Whaley, Aiken SC, found the reason why KQOB disappeared:

``In other filings with the FCC, CHAMPLIN BROADCASTING, INC. applied
for an STA to operate KQOB/ENID, OK at another tower site on a
temporary basis due to damage to the existing antenna. via

So I dig into FCC documentation. Here it is:

``Exhibit 4
Description: JUSTIFICATION FOR THE STA REQUEST

CHAMPLIN BROADCASTING INC. REQUESTS A STA TO RELOCATE STATION KQOB TO
ANOTHER TOWER SITE ON A TEMPORARY BASIS DUE TO DAMAGE TO ITS EXISTING
ANTENNA. THE KQOB ANTENNA SUFFERED A BURN OUT AND WILL NEED
REPLACEMENT. IN THE MEANTIME, CBI HAS RECEIVED PERMISSION TO RELOCATE
TO THE AUXILIARY SITE LOCATION OF STATION KWPN. THE 60 DBU CONTOUR OF
THIS LOCATION WILL NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE CURRENT 60 DBU CONTOUR OF
KQOB.

KWPN is AM 640, CoL Moore, SE of OKC. Now KQOB can be a real OKC
station, never mind Enid. But coordinates above do not match FCC info
for KWPN, i.e.. its main site, not aux.

``CDBS NAD27 coordinates:
35° 17' 21.00" N
97° 30' 08.00" W
Use NAD27 in CDBS applications.``

The out of use KQOB site west of Crescent:
``Previous NAD27 coordinates:
35° 58' 50.00"
97° 41' 42.00"``

Map pin goes to SE corner of North 3rd and East Oak in center of Enid!
but it`s at edge of contour circle centered approx. W of Crescent
where the tower really is, but not marked as such.

At 0027 UT August 4, KQOB still appears to be off; altho when it
return on such a low-power, 9/9 kW, faraway STA, it may be
unnoticeable without strain here in its CoL (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 1200, August 3 at 0646 UT, gospel huxter in English
overcoming WOAI San Antonio, not only now but often when monitored on
my E/W longwire which admittedly is unideal for a station slightly
west of south. Makes a fast SAH with `C2CAM` on WOAI. On the DX-398 I
try to DF it, and find it`s slightly east of due north, i.e. the two
are almost exactly opposite, which is bad news for would-be WOAI
listeners: if you null the QRM here you also null WOAI.

It`s got to be KFNW, Fargo ND, which is a g.h. station but all its
night power of 13 kW is supposed to head north! Must be totally out of
whack; and if so, why not ascribe 50 kW day power to it too, when
pattern is also northward but a significant minor lobe southward. No
other possibilities than KFNW by format, language and direxion. It`s
ironic that the original ``Clear Channel`` station, WOAI, find itself
in such a situation; but who cares now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re: ```American Experience` is a PBS series, so I looked for
it first there, but unfound; at YouTube there are lots of Farnsworth
audiovideos, but haven`t found the AmEx one there either. Exact direct
