** ANTARCTICA [non]. 9580, June 21 at 2130, JBA carrier from BBCWS
winter solstice special to British Antarctic Survey --- one day late;
this via ASCENSION our best chance here yet totally inadequate; no
point in even checking the others, 5790 and 7360; nor am I by the
computer to tune on remotes, but I know there will be plenty of
reports on the WOR iogroup; and I know I can listen to it later
online, as Richard Langley informs us:

``The program is now available for streaming from the BBC WS site
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct0vz4

What'll you'll notice, apart from the fact that it's in stereo, is
there is a slightly different introduction by Cerys Matthews
mentioning that unlike in the past when the program was only
transmitted on shortwave, this year it is being shared with the BBC's
global audience. The program went out twice in regular BBC WS steams
and may have been aired in regular BBC WS shortwave transmissions on
at least one of these occasions. Also, the "global" version of the
program is only 26.5 minutes long so that it could fit in a normal
broadcast, starting 2 minutes after the bottom of the hour to make
room for the news summary and ending before the promo announcement and
ID at the top of the hour. Somehow trimmed here and there? -- Richard
Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

correct for this one only, not the other two. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Lacking any FM DX, I at least explore by 10-meter-band
beacons where lower MUFs are operative:

28280-CW, June 21 at 1950, dash and DE K5AB EM01 BEACON CENTRAL TEXAS,
this one inbooming rather than the usual struggle to hear a few watts
or even less. 50 watts is a lot in this context, but sporadic E
propagation must also be ideal. WJ5O roster shows:

``28.280 K5AB C GOLDTHWAITE, TEXAS # 50W, GP VERTICAL Power increase 5
May 16``

https://www.qrz.com/lookup/k5ab
``K5AB USA flag USA Primary only for: K5AB/B
ALAN E BROWN, PO BOX 2, GOLDTHWAITE, TX 76844 USA

Also, there are two CW propagation beacons that are projects of mine.
50.060 MHz and 28.280 MHz are their operating frequencies. The ten
meter beacon has been on-the-air for 25 years. It is a personal
accomplishment for me to build/construct something that serves
others``

Goldthwaite is between Brownwood and Lampasas on US 84, which earlier
traverses my old hometown of Santa Rosa NM. ``Like many other Texas
communities, Goldthwaite was named for a railroad official, Joe C.
Goldthwaite of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway, who conducted
the auction of town lots.`` -- Wikipedia

Only 553 km = 344 statute miles, city to Enid city.

June 21 around 2000-2030 UT, I`m in the car hunting for sporadic E
after DXMAPs showing favorable 88+ MHz MUFs, but zilch, so back to
primary listening to two favorite programs on 90.1 KUCO-FM, `Wind &
Rhythm` http://www.windandrhythm.com/ and `Feminine Fusion`
https://exchange.prx.org/series/38388-feminine-fusion

At 2130 time for pro-forma check of BBC Antarctic q.v. special, JBA
carrier at best on 9580, so back to 10m dial:

28209-, June 21 at 2128, JBA beacon slightly on minus side. By 2138,
fades up a bit on 28208.8, VVV N8PVL/B, alternating slow and fast WPM
speeds -- I`ll take the slow! Viz.:

``28.2088 N8PVL I LIVONIA, MICHIGAN # 5W, VERTICAL new 12 Feb 2011``

``N8PVL USA flag USA Primary only for: N8PVL/B
Christopher E Francis, Livonia, MI 48154 USA``

Also trace of a beacon on 28271. And:

** U S A. 90.1-WBFM, June 22 before 0500 UT, I am trying to listen to
WCPE classical music via KUCO-FM Edmond OK, on one of my household
radios with rod antenna, but increasingly overcome by `Music from the
Hearts of Space` on KHCC 90.1 Hutchinson KS --- another classical
station but unfortunately often a CCI problem here between them. Then
at 0500 KHCC is atop announcing ``ending our broadcast day`` along
with 89.5 and 90.9 satellite stations, and off! at 0501* leaving KUCO
in the clear. Imagine that --- in this day and age a radio station
signing off at local midnight when it does not have to.

** CUBA. 6088-6112, June 21 at 0553, RHC English is undermodulated on
fundamental 6100, yet splashing out to this range, worst peaks around
6091 & 6109. Like sitting on an ice cream cone at Parque Coppelia.
6145 is also undermod. At 0554, 6000 is S9 of dead air, or trace of JB
modulation? At 0551, 5040 still on in wrong language, Spanish.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Sunday June 21 at 1503, RHC weekly Esperanto is
starting, // distorted 15140, via SDR in Maine; also checking whether
15230 still on as it was just before 1500: no. Clueless announcer
still utters wrong sked for own service: Sunday 0800 on 6100, 1600 on
11760 (only), 2230 on 15730. The first one is at 0700 UT during the 8
months of Yanquigusano-imposed DST; you never know which of the 6 MHz
channels will stay on past 0700 for it, if any: last week June 14 it
was 6145 per Wolfgang Bueschel. Third one may be correct, not
confirmed lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 9689.9v, June 20 at 0603, VON again here instead
of 7254.9v, S9/+10; so the ham QSO on 7253-LSB has no worries, between
N0KBX in CO and K4NGW? in Oregon:
N0KBX USA flag USA, Thomas Bullock, Wellington, CO 80549
but the other call does not check out. June 21 at 0600, VON not to be
heard on either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28271-, CW, June 21 at 1748, only beacon JB audible is
slightly below 28271, I think N1KO/B --- not on WJ5O beacon roster.
But QRZ.com: ``N1KO USA flag USA Primary only for: N1KO/B, ADAM J M
KERN, Annapolis, MD 21401``

There is one similar beacon supposed to be slightly higher: ``28.2723
N1KON C CENTERVILLE, INDIANA # 5W, VERTICAL testing 1 January 2010``

At 1752, only phone on 10m is a QSO on 28389.80-USB, a W9 with K4LJD
(?) but does not sound like a YL listed.

Of course am looking for clues of sporadic E MUF into the FM band; way
above 100 MHz earlier on the east coast; now at 1924 it`s 120 MHz over
EM12 TX/OK border area but too close to be useful here; maybe later.

KCIG(??). Closest fuzzy call, also geographically, is KZIP Amarillo

they flipped or just do wx in English anyway?

This corporate site adds many other stations, both Spanish and
English, but no further linx, no website of its own:

Various streaming services will not connect to KZIP, but one shows it

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 740 & 1170, June 21 at 0033 UT check, no
surprise that Tulsa`s big two talk stations, KRMG and KFAQ are both
broadcasting Trump`s pathetic speech live; don`t know about Tulsa TV
stations, but major OKC ones are too: KFOR, KOCO, KWTV, and a little
late, the Fox affil, KOKH. Meanwhile, as Drumpf started a few minutes
earlier, both CNN and MSNBC were *not* --- rather an SPCA PSA and
general commentary, altho with a split screen on Tulsa. There was no
sign of our beloved Gov. Kevin Stitt, who had previously proudly
proclaimed that he would be unmasked introducing the acting president
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, June 20 at 2201, VOT in English except for NO signal,

either. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 28236.5-CW, June 20 at 1858, JBA beacon, fading out and
barely in. Monitoring over several minutes I never agglomerate the
entire message, but enough portions: dits --- VVV --- W0KIZ/B ---
COLORADO. Fits with the WJ5O master list:

``28.2365 WØKIZ C DENVER, COLORADO # 5W, 1/2 VERTICAL``

https://www.qrz.com/lookup/w0kiz
``W0KIZ USA flag USA, ROBERT E GOLD, CASTLE ROCK, CO 80104 USA

The second picture is my 10 meter beacon on 28.2365 mhz running about
9 watts with 5 watts to the antenna on my barn. The 5763 final tube is
approaching 80,000 hours of continuous operation. Yes, properly
designed equipment with the correct voltages running ccs operation can
last as long as solid state. This beacon is never disconnected for
lightning.``

The only other one is on 28209 at 1853+, but just too weak to copy
anything. Only four listed on exact frequency, in Hawaii, Ireland,
Texas and New York the last two ``QRT``. Es MUF nowhere above 88 MHz
whenever I check earlier or later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Allan is again shirtless it is so hot 84 degrees, Angela is so
beautiful and he loves her so much; mostly discussion of current
events as of Juneteenth. Angela raises her voice in opposition to some
of them to the point of distortion. A says he is training A about all
aspects of station operation, since she is co-owner and much younger
than he is, so she can take over upon his demise, altho says he is in
good health now. She would rather they both die simultaneously. Didn`t

** U S A. 107.9-WBFM, June 19 at 1918 UT visiting Government Springs
Park in Enid, a quick tunearound finds a solid signal from ``US 107.9

mean tropo enhancement even in the afternoon; Tulsa and Wichita-area
signals are stronger than usual, but what`s this?

``KWLS 107.9 WINFIELD KS 50.0 kW ERP, 150 m HAAT, 37-15-46 96-53-42
COUNTRY US 107.9 - REAL AMERICAN COUNTRY``

Normally I don`t hear anything on 107.9 above OKC KRXO 107.7, but this
is not far away just over the frontier. FCC FM Query shows: KWLS'
first license was granted 10-20-1980. But it was originally on 105.5
as KWKS. In the meantime it has had two other calls, but KWLS since
12/31/07, but on what frequency? 107.9 was licensed as of 4/28/09. But
has there been a power increase since then? Such info is not easily
found at FCC, if at all. Searching old DX reports on KWLS, we find
circa 2006 it was the call on the 1290 Pratt KS AM station, far on the
other side of Wichita; now it`s part of the Steckline empire,
including 1210 KGYN Guymon OK, and the imaginary(?) 1370 KGNO Dodge
City KS. While 107.9 is in I also find dead air on 107.5, maybe
somecar nearby`s RF feeder not offturned (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Per the WTFDA FM Database; how can one format be Variety and the other
News/Talk since they are the same network? Position of the MUF blob
suggests SK more likely, and certainly weak enough, Kenora also a good
skip distance not too far off the bearing; nor can I DF it on the
caradio vertical antenna. Distances: 1909 km = 1186 stmi from ZP SK,
which is about halfway between Prince Albert and the *town* of Hudson
Bay SK in the east-central; 1542 km = 958 stmi from Kenora in SW ON by

** U S A. QSL FROM Konstantin Barsenkov, St. Petersburg, Russia, TO
WORLD OF RADIO he heard on WRMI 7780:

Now #91 via http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html

With this message:
``Dear Mr. Glenn Hauser, My name is Konstantin Barsenkov, I am 45
years old, I was born and live in St. Petersburg, Russia. More than 25
years ago, one of my favourite hobbies was DX-ing (shortwave
monitoring). In the 90s there was no Internet, letters were long, and
international correspondence was quite expensive for a student.
About four years ago I decided to try it again. And now I'm passionate
about this hobby again. I still use my old Soviet military analog tube
receiver R-250M2 (it's probably older than me and it weighs 90 kg!)
with a long wire outdoor antenna.

Today I was pleasantly surprised to hear my name in your program World
of Radio. Earlier my message was published in the Anatoly Klepov's
bulletin Russ-DX Plus#858 and it was about Chinese jumming of Sound of
Hope.

Actually, I don't know if you send any QSL, but I'll be very
appreciated for your confirmation of the current reception report
(perhaps letter or any picture by email) and thanks in advance!``

Very nice, but please note WOR as a program does not offer QSLs,
leaving that to stations; only WRMI has a WOR-design QSL for reports
sent to them of receptions on WRMI only. I forwarded his report (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
