Correct date on the Mexican log July 14, not July 4, fixed:

** MEXICO. 92.3, July 14 at 1847 UT, during large sporadic E FM DX
opening mostly from Saskatchewan and Alberta, some Spanish shows up
here: weak but growing against CCI from Phoenix, phone? 169-5810, and
ad in *pesos* so unAmerican; 1849 ``nueva radio La Bestia 92.3``; 1859
still Mexmx with stereo pilot, 1900 Spanish spoken; 1903 ``ya nos
conoce`` [indeed I do], non ID, live DJ, then ``92.3 FM, La Bestia``.
Besides Yuma & Vegas on 93.1, most DX continues from Canada, and no
more Mexicans as this is barely one per WTFDA DB:

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, July 14 from tune-in 1516, another
Wednesday, so LRA36 is to be heard via Pardinho, Brasil KiwiSDR, S4-S6
during music. Of course since it`s SSB, the S-range varies more
depending on modulation level than on propagation. 1518 already
``cierre del programa`` mentioning ``lejano sur, Esperanza``, until
next miércoles but this to be repeated el sábado. Antártida themesong
until 1523 but does NOT go off, immediately starts another song, 1531
`sign-on`, 1534 themesong again. Local weather max is minus 11 C;
contact info including whatsapp; songs. 1547 canned ID, 1558 weather
again of -11C high. 1624 still going with songs. 1631 ID, also at
1637, 1639. 1649 ``sign-off`` again with themesong; 1651 ``seguimos
con más...`` when I tune out, as FM DX from Canada is calling me to
the caradio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. Large sporadic-E FM DX opening July 14 from 1702
until 1953 UT mostly from Saskatchewan and Alberta. It shall take a
day or two for me to have time to research and report it thoroly, but
this may be one of the most interesting:

95.3, July 14 at 1719 UT into caradio, horoscope, CCI with KOKC 1520
translator [not KOMA as I wrote before!], YL DJ, birthdays of
celebrities, eh? [sic], hum on her mike; 1720 ``Creek FM``, eldercare
PSA with COVID advice, still hum. WTFDA has no such slogan for any
Canadian, which this surely is, eh? also from PTA = probable target
area, and not Michigan. Web search leads to it:

https://www.creekfm.com/

``95 Three CreekFM | Proudly Broadcasting from Okanese First Nation
95.3 CreekFM is your local community radio station located on the
Okanese First Nation reserve, providing a wide range of programming to

P.O. Box 940
Balcarres, SK, S0G 0C0``

I do not find that Res in my Rand McNally; must be very small? But
Balcarres is NE of Regina on the way to Melville and Yorkton. So this
is it as per WTFDA:

CHXL-FM 95.3 OKANESE INDIAN RESERVATION SK CAN COMMUNITY RADIO 50.0 kW
Horizontal-only 71.2 m HAAT H-only 50-56-34 103-23-53 --- yet I am
getting it on my vertical-only car antenna! It is said that sporadic E
fortunately tumbles the original polarization of signals. From
Balcarres: 1665 km = 1034 statute miles.

I wonder if these Creeks be any relation to the Muscogee/Creek of
Oklahoma? BTW, in OK you see a lot of Tribal license plates --- once
considered prestigious or at least funding tribes rather than the
state in general, but since McGirt shakeup in federal/tribal, vs state
jurisdixion of crimes against Indians, many of whom you would not
recognize as such without their plates, news reports say criminals are
now singling them out as targets less likely to lead to prompt
prosecution (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, July 14 at 0629, RHC English is under humbuzz here;
clear but undermodulated on 6100; off of 6165, 6000 and 5040.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, July 14 at 1433, RHC is S9+10 but undermodulated
`Sonido Cubano` music, wrong frequency instead of missing 15140, but
also on 15230. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13635 & 13765 approx., July 14 at 1436, JBA spurblobs out of
13700-AM; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 92.3, July 4 at 1847 UT, during large sporadic E FM DX
opening mostly from Saskatchewan and Alberta, some Spanish shows up
here: weak but growing against CCI from Phoenix, phone? 169-5810, and
ad in *pesos* so unAmerican; 1849 ``nueva radio La Bestia 92.3``; 1859
still Mexmx with stereo pilot, 1900 Spanish spoken; 1903 ``ya nos
conoce`` [indeed I do], non ID, live DJ, then ``92.3 FM, La Bestia``.
Besides Yuma & Vegas on 93.1, most DX continues from Canada, and no
more Mexicans as this is barely one per WTFDA DB:

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2094 monitoring: as usual zzz thru the Wed
1030 July 14 on WRMI 5850; did anyone hear it?

Confirmed Wed July 14 at 2100 on WRMI 7780, S7-S9 into Maine SDR; and
about 21 seconds behind on WBCQ 7490 minus ~80v Hz at S9+10; but by
2116 WBCQ has faded way down to S5, skip already lengthening? While
the other BCQs remain VG on 3265+ and 6160-; and 9330 remains zero.
But 7490 is back up to S7/S9+5 at 2241 check during AAAWWW playback.
Next and last WOR 2094:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:

Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary
support: thanks this week to Moises Corilloclla, Rego Park NY, for
a check in US funds on a US bank, to:
Glenn Hauser, Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA;
and says, ``Please be assured that I appreciate your job, as you are
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!``

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds,

New WOR 2095 should be ready for download early UT Fri July 15 and
0130 first SW airings on WRMIs 5850 & to be resumed on 7780 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, July 14 at 0633, WWCR-1 is OFF! instead of BSing,
while the other three, 4840, 5890 and 5935 are nominally on and
strong. Also no carrier on 15825 at 1434 check while 13845, 9980 and
7490 are VG. Next check at 2242: 6115 is also AWOL. Problems with #1
transmitter: nominal sked is: 01-11 3215, 11-22 15825, 22-01 6115
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, July 14 at 0631, JBA carrier, for the third time,
vs storm noise and 4980 WRMI splash. I have my doubts it`s the
Europirate Radio Deltracks as reported over there, 350 watts from
Netherlands, but I need to check for it earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7348-CW, July 14 at 0626 weak string of numbers, those
5-character codes, finally K; and then a short msg including QRU.
Wonder if spy-like? UDXF iog has lots of 7348 logs as FEMA in ALE/USB
but not plain old CW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2300 UT July 14

** CUBA. 13761 & 13639 approx., July 13 at 1447, weak spurblobs with
F# tones, no readable modulation even in FM mode; plus/minus ~61 kHz
from 13700-AM which is only S7-S9 and undermodulated. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 7435 & 7335, July 13 at 0643, R. Martí is again on
late, very strong but now jamming audible under; also 6030 weaker; due
to the unrest in Cuba.

Dan Robinson, a critic of his former employer, suggests that at long
last OCB has fulfilled its mission to stir up trouble inside Cuba;
Radio Free Asia still working on their targets:

``It was no secret that Radio Marti (before TV Marti) was specifically
designed to encourage anti-Castro government feelings in
Cuba. [...] So, what I am saying is that in a way, the purpose, going
back to the earliest days of Radio Marti, has been achieved --
riots/unrest in the street directed at the post-Fidel Castro
government. It's as simple as that...`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, July 13 another Tuesday so time for another
weekly Kashmir Civitas clandestine via apparent ROMANIA. Starts at
1500 with S9/+25 signal into UTwente SDR, in Urdu but English term
``foreign occupation``, strumming underneath, mentions Kashmiri. 1525
checked direct and no signal here. 1528 Salaam Aleikum, and azad,
azad. 1528 very abrupt IRRS-style cut to blues song by woman in
English, ``If you don`t want me, it`s up to you---`` and cut off air
at 1529* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2094 monitoring: Richard Lemke, St. Albert,

** U S A. Another sporadic-E FM DX opening July 13, from FL, GA, SC,
including a few of the same stations heard July 11. For more details
about how I go about such DXing and logging, see that report.

All times UT! Circa 1700 I`m listening to KUCO 90.1 Edmond OKC on a
household radio when it`s getting some talk CCI unlike that from KHCC
KS especially at midday minimum. The opening must have been underway
for some time when I get to the car surrounding a 2004 Nissan Sentra
stock radio with nothing but its vertical antenna from the right front
hood, facing northward inside the warming garage. It`s already tuned
to 100.3 so DX immediately when I turn it on:

100.3 at 1742, Spanish/Spanglish ad for tax help from Alleviate tax,

Hauser
** CANADA. 97.3 & 99.3, CKUA relays during huge sporadic-E opening
July 11: included in full report under USA [and non], as well as 95.3
CKWD Calgary; 95.5 CHLB Lethbridge AB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13160, July 12 at 1359, JBA music, no timesignal and runs
past 1400+, could be Firedragon. Gone at 1422 recheck. Before 1400,
only other WOOB presumed CNR1 jammer was 13530 JBA carrier (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, July 12 at 0628, humbuzz on RHC English about
something, ignoring the anti-government demonstrations across Cuba;
6165 OK; 6100, 6000, 5040 all off. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
5025 Rebelde playing music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 7435 & 7335, July 12 at 0624, R. Marti in a rare
extended broadcast beyond usual 0400* or 0500*, VG signals here and no
jamming audible altho it often runs overtime against nothing; and also
on weaker 6030. Because, of course, of the widespread and never-before
anti-Communist-government demonstrations. Seems to be live discussion
of this by host and various exiles if not dentro-Cubans. Assures Cuban
listeners they are getting worldwide press attention; leaders blame it
on the US, of course. Keeps going past 0700+ with no ID break (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, July 12 at 2300, RHC English S9+25 marred by scratchy
noise and hum, something always wrong at RHC. We were wondering how
they would play the outbreak of anti-Communist demonstrations around
the Greatest Antille; or just ignore them? No, that`s the lead story,
but of course with the Commie government spin I try to summarize. What
Pres. Díaz-Canel said about it on TV. Blames the ``criminal`` demos on
social media and the USA waging unconventional war on the island.
Emphasizes counter-demonstrations by those supporting The Revolution.
One of the complaints is power outages: Matanzas power station is
being repaired and should be back online Tuesday. Dig at the American
``blockade``. Admits infexions are at their highest level now since
pandemic started; etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 93.3, XHPS Veracruz: one Mexican during huge sporadic-E
opening July 11: included under USA [and non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Re my remarx about how little Woodward has a lot more
radio stations than big Enid: it still does, but Enid/Lahoma/North
Enid has 6 full power, on 95.7, 96.9, 97.7, 103.1, 106.3, 107.1. Not
including too many translators and LPs, sounding just as strong at
local range; nor some nearby but non-Enids such as 89.7, 90.5 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR) Also some OK mixed in with Es FM DX: USA [and non]

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday July 12 at 2309, REE English after news,
Justin Coe goes into third edition of twice-monthly `DX Program`.
Obviously non-scripted, says he`s working from home where temps are
above 30C, so windows are open letting in plaza noise, sirens, barx,
kids, buses revving, animated discussions, but also a pleasant breeze.
Anyhow, ``the noise of life in the big city``.

While sufficient, the signal at S8 has some deep fades to S1, and even
at peak I never hear any such noise distraxion. Also working from
home, I am conscious of noise such as trains, planes, TV in the next
room, but rarely detectable on my playbacks. Says the new studios at
REE they can`t use have good soundproofing, but nothing like the old
ones which were double-doored like a submarine.

This ``DX program`` really a mailbag is all about one e-mail received
3 July, from our very own Alan Holder on the Isle of Wight, which
Justin has never visited. Alan has been listening to REE since 1977.
Recommends a Roberts Sircon? 94-I internet ``radio`` where stations
can be easily stored. Laments Alison Hughes` early retirement. They
agree she has a great voice for radio [so does Justin]. Coe`s device
makes a ping when a new e-mail arrives. What about her replacement,
Amy Egan? Is she on permanent staff? No, semi-permanent more like an
intern with lower pay for 6 months; but she is tech-savvy unlike J&A.
Justin managed to get a front-row seat to a performance by Segovia in
Germany, 1984-85. Still open for suggestions on title for this show,
e.g. as Alan proposes: `Radio-Waves` was used before; You Write Us;
We`ve Got Mail; Nos Escribe.

2222, about to play some outro music for Alan, by another guitarist,
Marc Ridot whose albums JC has bought several of; this one from Songs
of Resistance 1942-2018, about partisans vs Italian fascism, ref.
website indivisible.org accompanying singer Tom Waite who has a rather
croaky voice I can`t understand, finally plays at 2225 until 5+1
timesignal at 2230. Maybe this will repeat on Wednesday as happened
last time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2094 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
July 11 at 2013 the 2000 on IRRS via Italia-AM 918 kHz Villa Estense,
via Noale nearby remote, S9+25 but high noise level there.

** U S A [and non]. Huge sporadic E opening monitored from 2044 UT
July 11 after seeing DXMAP MUFs above 100 MHz including one patch
around New Orleans which should be just right for DX from Florida at
twice the distance.

It`s notable that during this entire opening I never got anything
below 91.9 even tho the MUF went up to 105? I kept bandscanning across
the NCE band, but no DX even on the semi-open channels 88.1, 89.5,
89.9, 90.7. Almost as if this sporadic E were above a ``lowest usable
frequency``. States and provinces: FL, Veracruz, ID, OR, WA, MT, AB,
VA.

These are in time order, ALWAYS UT, and I have spent a lot more time
researching afterwards than ~3 hours tuning, all on the caradio in hot
garage, vertical antenna so no manipulation there and no extra gain.
And all on my own receiver in real time, no recordings made. Also had
DX-398 as standby at least for some RDS readouts, but never got any.

After each log I copy the WTFDA FM Database listing; eliminating
duplications of H&V kW power and H&V antenna height above average
terrain unless in rare cases they differ. Headers at the FMDB are as
follows; in many cases some fields are blank or duplicative:

Callsign Relay of Frequency City S/P Country Mode Lang Format Slogan
ERP-H ERP-V HAAT-H HAAT-V Lat-N Long-W PI Code PS Info Radiotext PTY
Remarks

Many of these lack a definite ID, but I make best guesses based on
PTA, format, what is said, choosing full power stations rather than LP
or translators. Since I am not counting stations, states or anything,
nor QSLing, these presumptions are not a problem, but my best effort
at identifying what has come in. Some OKies/Kansies included as I run
across them hoping for Es DX instead.

I go to all this trouble, out of quality interest in the details; as I
find those who go for quantity, with minimum one-liner details to be
virtually unreadable, unless searching for some clue later. Also of
course, this is how I want my log archive to read. Distances are
approx., city-to-city, not site-to-site.

94.3 at 2043 and for many hours afterwards, once again as on previous
Sundays, my nearby Enid local KLGB-LP is open carrier/dead air, so
makes it a little easier to pull stations on 94.1 & 94.5. Its RDS
still displays KLGB even when tuned down to 94.05. Someones at the
other ends could have DXed it that way. But why don`t they just turn
it off?

97.3 at 2044, S Florida ad for Diamonds Direct in Boca Ratón, come see
at the mall. I`ve tuned up the band and this is the first DX signal
noted. After adstring, ``Back to the music on The New Hits, 97.3``.
But these stations never say ``back to the commercials``!

97.5 at 2256, ``The new 97-5, Kiss FM`` and rap:
KOLW 97.5 BASIN CITY WA CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO 97.5 KISS FM 50.0 kW
189.0 m 46-17-23 119-25-28 --- believe it or not, this is the only
Kiss on 97.5 listed in the USA or Canada. Basin City is im SE WA near
Hanford, not too far from Idaho --- 2084 km = 1295 mi

99.3 at 2257, interview a designer named Tristan of tattoos and
watercolors, ``for Indigenous Pathways``; CCI; Sin? Guide, Canada`s
future; CKUA ID:

1907 km = 1185 mi

101.7 at 2301, fading dead air CCI to nearby KREJ Medicine Lodge KS
gospel huxter, still 2314: Alberta has no full-power 101.7, likely:
KWGF 101.7 VAUGHN MT HOT AC STAR 101.7 93.4 kW-H 62.3 kW-V 273.0 m
47-36-24 111-21-31 --- 1674 km = 1040 mi

89.3 at 2305 and entirely earlier, semi-local KIEL has been silent,
but carrier seems on abutting 89.1 local translator; recheck at 0054
July 12 it`s finally modulating:
KIEL 89.3 LOYAL OK RELIGIOUS TEACHING RADIO 74 INTERNATIONALE 3.8 kW
47.0 m 36-03-43 98-12-41

95.5 at 2308, YL says ``Today`s Country 95-5``, timecheck as ``just
after 5:00`` so must be MDT or CST: There are NO ``today`s country``
anywhere; not even any country in ID or MT but Alberta has two:
CHLB-FM 95.5 LETHBRIDGE AB CAN COUNTRY COUNTRY 95.5 100.0 kW H&V but
173.0 m HAAT horizontal, 0.0 m vertical; huhhh? 49-46-47 112-52-18

CHLB in southern AB more likely than CKGY midway
Calgary/Edmonton:
CKGY-FM 95.5 RED DEER AB CAN COUNTRY REAL COUNTRY 95.5 100.0 kW 256.5
m 52-19-10 113-40-41 [2163 km - 1344 mi]

97.3 at 2310, ``Bulay-bulay`` classic rock, and then a mojo song, //
99.3 CKUA-FM-2. So this is another CKUA relay:
CKUA-FM-3 relays:CKUA-FM 94.9 97.3 MEDICINE HAT AB CAN VARIETY CKUA
RADIO FOUNDATION 100.0 kW-H/43.0 kW-V 219.5 m 49-41-59 110-38-24 ---
1833 km = 1139 mi. Also checked 94.9 several times but never heard
flagship in Edmonton nor any of the other relays around the province
thruout the band ranging from 2.5 to 100,000 watts. More below

100.3 at 2313, lo-fi NWS severe storm warning for north central
Montana overrides; 3 tones and back to music; 2319 praise music. It`s
KLSK Great Falls again as above

104.7 at 2315, adstring for NAPA Know-how, paper ghostpodcasts,
Discover card, Allstate Ins; ``The New 104-7 The Bull``, another
sponsor in Newkirk; so my semi-local only:

36-47-21 97-02-53

99.3 at 2319 song in some Portuguese dialect? 2324 // 97.3 so still
CKUAs; with one radio I can`t tell if synchronised. Outro as from Cape
Verde on `World Spinning` show with Mark? Clark but sounds like a YL;
no, she`s Lark Clark per CKUA program sked; CKUA ID in passing

94.5 at 2327, soft rock, CCI about heat wave in Washington State; 2330
Country Top 40. Not necessarily really from WA but how about:
KATS 94.5 YAKIMA WA ROCK KATS FM 100.0 kW 277.0 m 46-31-59 120-30-14
---- 94.5 KATS --- 2188 km = 1360 mi

Opening is still going but at this point after 165 minutes, I need a
break from intensity and uncomfortable hot car. Resuming UT July 12:

94.5 at 0052, EZL music, fades, still against dead air on 94.3 local;
unID, no clue yet about wherefrom

96.5 at 0056, ad for residents of Virginia to get guns legally at
home, and thebudgun.com (?) More likely goodgun.com. 0058 ``Classic
Rock 96.5, WK##``, CCI; 0100 KRAV Tulsa ``Mix 96.5`` takes over:
WKLR 96.5 FORT LEE VA HD CLASSIC ROCK CLASSIC ROCK 96.5 50.0 kW 138.0

104.5 at 0105, rock song with audio cutting out again, as KZZW
Woodward OK has suffered before; wake up?! CD player skipping?

102.5 at 0059, Bott Radio Network ID JBA, must be KS or OK:
KKCV 102.5 ROZEL KS RELIGIOUS TEACHING BOTT RADIO NETWORK 100.0 kW
148.8 m 37-57-28 99-25-45 --- 241 km = 150 mi
Rozel? Never heard of it. Nor in regular atlas, but large-scale, pop.
156 just west of Larned, next town Burdett another tiny town with a
big radio, why? (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, July 12 at 0630, JBA carrier presumed RV. I`ve not
been following this closely whether harmonicizing or not on 3945 for
starters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, July 12 at 0636, JBA carrier, S7 better than 11835
Vanuatu, but no modulation audible. Since my last report:
