** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, July 6 circa 1500, I miss checking for
LRA36 this Wednesday, but Gary Pence was getting it via the KFS remote
in California, and Brazilians from 1446 to 1511* LOS, peaking at
1458-1502 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9673.72 & 9673.52 approx., July 7 at 0701, RVM praise music
in Portuguese keeps hopping back and forth around these as I am trying
to measure it exactly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, July 7 at 0646, RHC English again on unsked frequency,
S9/+10 but somewhat distorted; only other still on is // 6165; 5040
still on in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13629 & 13771 approx., July 7 at 1441, RHC spurblobs from
13700 at plus/minus ~71 kHz, rather weak this time, no readable
modulation even in FM mode; also second order 13558 approx. vs. RF ID
local ISM beepery 24h on 13560; but can`t be sure of a match on 13842
vs 13845 WWCR AM. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, July 6 at 2136, R. Cairo English scheduled, S7/S9 into
Maryland SDR but extremely distorted music with whine; no better at
2214 recheck. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 7425 AM, July 7 at 0654, S9/+20 VG signal talking
about NZ but chopped off at 0655*. No, NOT 7245. 7425 is a registered
alternate for RNZP, so must be one of their Thursday maintenance
tests; and 9700 is absent, so anyone axually listening for content is
out of luck! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also unIDs 5980, 6075

** TAIWAN. 9705, July 7 at 1450, pop songs S5/S8, best
extra-continental signal on band while K-index is 5, i.e. per Aoki,
Furusato no Kaze in Japanese at 1430-1458 via Paochung site. On a NNE
beam it would carry on well to OK far beyond target Korea North (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2145 monitoring; ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening

NEW WOR 2146 should be ready for download and first broadcasts by 0130
UT Friday July 8 on WRMIs 5850 & 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9260-9265-9270, July 7 at 0704, DRM noise from WINB as now
registered 07-10 but Sat & Sun only and this is Thursday.
Characteristic hybrid with noise on top half, secret data beepery on
bottom half (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. As of July 7, I`m still working on compiling my July 4 Es FM
DX logs from NV, UT, WY, ID, MT. Since then, and so far July 7, MUFs
tantalizingly hovering mostly somewhat below the FM band (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, July 7 at 0648, R. Vanuatu is still AWOL from 3 x
3945, nor has it appeared since last unlogged June 30 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5975-5980-5985, July 7 at 0656, S9+ DRM noise atop usual
mess of jamming/WWCR leapfrogs. Shortly disappears. Suspect another
RNZP maintenance test. Not in skeds (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6070-6075-6080, July 7 at 0650, DRM noise S9+10/20:
something new not in Aoki, EiBi or HFCC. Sharp cutoff does not bother
6070 CFRX much even when tuned in USB. Another NZ test maybe? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13651 & 13749 approx., July 5 at 1441, S5/S7 spurblobs
extremely distorted with no readable audio, JBM even in FM mode, but
telltale F# tone. So plus/minus ~49 kHz out of 13700 AM transmitter.
Also weaker at X2 = ~98 kHz offsets, 13798 and obscured by 13605
Martí, on 13602. Also X3 = ~147 kHz, JB detectable circa 13554 and
maybe 13846 vs 13845 WWCR. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 99.5, July 4 at 1739 UT as a big sporadic E opening is
underway, currently from Utah but not yet compiled, something here
instead of usual fringe KXBL Henryetta --- Waynoka in western OK
mentioned and then, and then --- ``1430 AM, KALV``. That`s in nearby
Alva which I can barely hear on 1430 with direxional pattern and/or
QRP. This is NOT in the WTFDA FM database: must be a new? translator,
as I do find it at FCC FM Query:

``K258GZ OK ALVA USA FX LIC Licensee: REMEMBER RADIO, LLC
Service Designation: FX Translator Station (retransmits signal,
different channel than main station) [but NOT specified KALV or any]
Channel/Class: 258D Frequency: 99.5 MHz Licensed
File No.: 0000106074 Facility ID number: 203242
LMS Application ID: 25076f917036859c017045c234d2086b (Assigned
numerical ID: 0000106074) Licensed date: 2020-03-11``

Well, that was over a biyear ago; if it`s really been on, had not
noticed it before. Translators are often owned by another party as a
station makes a relay deal, but KALV 1430 also belongs to Remember
Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) More OK under USA

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2145 monitoring: confirmed UT

** U S A. Sporadic E FM DX opening UT Sunday July 3 from 0129 to 0217;
a few Mexicans at first already reported.

88.1 at 0133, Spanish music, tropical, ``carnaval`` repeatedly
refrained. But segué to English song, ``River So Wide``. Despite Es in
progress from AZ/Sonora border area, suspect this be KWOU Woodward OK
relaying KGOU Norman, during `Global Sojourn` show at 8-10 pm CDT
Saturdays, including a playlist which may be what I heard but not
obvious hits:
8:28 PM TITLE: Bomba Swing COMPOSER: W.Cepeda ARTIST:
William Cepeda & Afrorican Jazz ALBUM: My Roots & Beyond
8:35 PM TITLE: River Jordan COMPOSER: n/a ARTIST:
Peter Broggs ALBUM: Progressive Youth
88.1 at 0207 indeed ``Global Sojourn`` but with DX CCI in Spanish

100.3 at 0139, rock YL DJ, ``on the beat``. If a station slogan, the
only two are nowhere near the PTA:
WMVN 100.3 SYLVAN BEACH NY HD RHYTHMIC CHR THE BEAT 6.0 kW 100.0 m
KATZ-FM 100.3 BRIDGETON MO HD URBAN CONTEMPORARY 100.3 THE BEAT 17.0
kW 120.0 m [near St Louis like 1600 KATZ]

More likely in the AZ/CA border PTA:
KJMB-FM 100.3 BLYTHE CA ADULT CONTEMPORARY KJMB FM 100.3 36.0 kWH only
17.0 m horizontal only
I do not see Beat mentioned on website but does not rule it out:
https://kjmbradio.com/ --- 1552 km = 964 mi
One thing I resist for lack of time is monitoring streams of stations
later for something matchable.

100.7 at 0140, Catholic talk in English about Loreto. Nothing fits in
AZ or NV, and the closest in CA is rather far-fetched:
K264CK relays:KHOT-1250 100.7 FRESNO CA RELIGIOUS TEACHING IMMACULATE
HEART RADIO 0.25 kW --- 1953 km = 1213 mi; and it takes some doing to
audiblize against adjacent local 100.9 KGWA translator. Faked out by
something nearby in KS or OK? No Catholix listed. Possibly religious
but not exclusively Catholic tho seems unlikely, such as KWRD Highland
Village TX north side of The Metroplex, a Salem outlet so presumably
evangelical/Protestant. 375 km = 233 mi. 94.9 log below points to
north TX.

102.1 at 0140, soft rock and talk about music, or CCI

94.9 at 0146, Eyemart Express ad, fade. I figure it`s a national ad
but search leads right back to several locations in OK, and a few in
adjacent states KS, MO, TX. OK has only two unlikely translators; KS
has two distant full-powers in Concordia, Shawnee, but nearest is:
KIND 94.9 ELK CITY KS HOT AC 6.0 kW 82.9 m --- not the Elk City in OK!
This is just west of Independence in the SE, not very close to Wichita
where Eyemart has its only two KS stores. Nothing near Joplin MO.
However, both TX locations hit close geographical correlations:
Eyemart Wichita Falls, near Electra:
KOLI 94.9 ELECTRA TX COUNTRY 94.9 THE OUTLAW 50.0 kW 150.0 m --- 279
km = 174 mi
and Eyemart Flower Mound, N side of The Metroplex, near
Arlington:
KLTY 94.9 ARLINGTON TX HD CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN 94.9 KLTY 99.0 kW
508.0 m --- 413 km = 256 mi; so apparently extended groundwave on a
channel normally vacant here, not even the KOSU Ponca City translator

93.5 at 0158 ads, CCI with KS, tostadas, González Meat Market in
Lancaster, State Farm. 0200 ID for Rosamond-Lancaster-Palmdale, so:
KQAV 93.5 ROSAMOND CA CLASSIC HIP-HOP OLD SCHOOL 93.5 6.0 kW 27.0 m
//KOSS 1380/K272FI 102.3/K296GX 107.1 --- 1841 km = 1144 mi

94.3 at 0209, ``The Duck, giveaways all summer``; CCI from song mixing
Spanish and English; 0212 ``hits back to back 24 hours a day, 94-3``;
0217 rock, about a sex pill [so not Bott!], tickets to Six Flags [over
something? not TX. Probably Magic Mountain as in L.A.], ``right here
on The Duck, 94 days of summer`` and end of opening:
KDUC 94.3 BARSTOW CA RHYTHMIC CHR THE DUCK 4.6 kW 239.0 m --- 1735 km
= 1078 mi (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
