Glenn Hauser logs July 2-3-4, 2022  View Printable Version 
Tuesday, July 05 2022

Logs
** BRAZIL. 9673.22V, July 4 at 0638, RVM gospel music wobbling around
here as I try to measure it, good signal and modulation (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13530 & 13130 & weaker 13020, July 4 at 1457, the regular
CNR1 jammers with pop music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, July 4 at 0618, RHC English S6/S8, 2 x 6000 which is
much stronger. This harmonic appears only occasionally, at transmitter
maladjustments? By 0650, these three are unusually all still on: 6000,
6060, 6100 but not 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2145 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday July 3 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323 kHz, S9+20/25 into
nearby Noale SDR including heavy splash from much stronger adjacents
on 1314 and 1332, plus storm crashes.

Also confirmed Sunday July 3 at 2237 the 2230 still on WRMI 5950,
S9+10/22 into Georgia SDR with storm crashes.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 4 at 0033 the 0030 on WRMI 7780 S7/S9
into Athens GA SDR, better here than some others checked, even
Durango2 and TWR Brownsville.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 4 from 0259 on Area 51 via WBCQ
6159.942, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, trying to avoid ACI from 6165 RHC
thru LSB tuning narrow, or AM narrow, but can`t get rid of it
completely as these two stations refuse to distance from each other.

Next:
0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba]
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, Australia 5035-USB or 3210-USB
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW

For these noncommercial services, voluntary financial support is much
appreciated; thanks this week to Terry Colgan, Austin, TX for a
contribution
via PayPal in US funds, but not necessarily, to woradio at yahoo.com
and says, ``Thanks for your continuing dedication to the radio
listening
hobby. Best wishes for health and good DX``

One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, July 4 at 0645, WTWW with soft rock at S6/S9, still on
but not so strong, // 5085 at S9+40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, July 4 at 0647, this WWCR is missing TOMBS, while 5935
and 4840 remain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Sporadic E FM DX opening Saturday July 2 at 1829-1930 UT
from Michigan and vicinity, somewhat Lower than last time; on caradio
with fender vertical antenna only, standard provisos to which I add:
no possibility of side-tuning to even frequencies avoiding QRM;
strictly UT:

We start off with a rather confusing situation; perhaps Chris Kadlec
can straighten it out.

92.9 at 1829, strong rock/rap. Nothing further here, but based on
following logs we look up Michigan:
WJZQ 92.9 CADILLAC MI CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO Z93 100.0 kW 278.0 m Z93
Today's Best Hits Top 40 --- website is:
https://www.z93hits.com/
but its studio is in Traverse City, not too far but not too close, to
Cadillac --- 1369 km = 851 mi

93.5 at 1830, music CCI with Hayes KS fringer. Later at 1855, ``The
Rock Station K-L-T``; 1900 ``Rogers City - Alpena, The Rock Station
K-L-T``.
WBCM relays:WKLT 97.5 93.5 BOYNE CITY MI ROCK 97.5 WKLT 14.0 kW 283.0
m
The trouble is: Boyne City, just S of Petoskey on the NW coast, is
100+ miles from Rogers City & Alpena on the NE coast. So it relays the
KLT station as below on 97.5 yet gives own frequency 93.5. But the
97.5 station is in Kalkaska, just east of Traverse City in the NW.
It`s also linked to a 98.9 station but not branded as KLT which
applies only to 97.5 and 93.5. Is 98.9 serving RC&A? No, it`s in
Petoskey. Boyne City: 1458 km = 906 mi

93.9 at 1830, music CCI with KIMY OK. And at 1841

97.5 at 1831, a poet quoted, maybe the source of 93.5 above. 1848,
mattress ad in Traverse City. Great Lakes Land with lots in northern
MI:
WKLT 97.5 KALKASKA MI CLASSIC ROCK KLT THE ROCK STATION 32.0 kW 188.0
m 97.5 FM 98.9 FM KLT The Rock Station //WRGZ 96.7 - 1415 km = 880 mi

93.7 at 1833, Lakers, trends in baseball; unlikely residual KSPI OK;
1835, Z-93, YL DJ on blood giving, Michelle Peréz at noon to one;
929-HITS which chex as number for Z-93, not to be confused with
anything on 92.9 MHz: https://www.z93hits.com/contact, Traverse City
ads, Cherry Festival, Downtown Arts Fest; Tony`s Best Tacos, Z-93.
Must be this just S of Traverse City, but not branded as Z-93:
WKAD relays:WMBN-1340 93.7 HARRIETTA MI SPORTS THE TICKET 4.3 kW 119.0
m // W284DF 104.7 --- 1354 km = 841 mi

93.3 at 1834, CCI with Jake OKC

95.3 at 1843, plug event in Kresge Auditorium which chex as
Interlochen i.a.; arts fest, Interlochen.org - a classical mecca with
arts school. None especially close but outreach probably beyond the
WIAA coverage area, like this non-comm down the coast:
WGVS-FM 95.3 WHITEHALL MI NEWS/JAZZ WGVU 88.5 & 95.3FM 2.0 kW 110.0 m
Saturday Night Blues LISTEN ONLINE AT WGVU.ORG No Program Type or
Undefined //WGVU 88.5 & W237CZ 95.3 [Grand Rapids, but oldies??]
Whitehall also correlates with next single log across Lake MI in WI:
Whitehall: 1253 km = 779 mi

95.5 at 1844, algo trying to edge in to local 95.7

97.3 at 1845, ``97-3 The Game``:
WRNW 97.3 MILWAUKEE WI HD SPORTS 97.3 THE GAME 15.5 kW 278.0 m Top 40
[sic] --- 1127 km = 700 mi

96.3 at 1858, Bad Credit Blues ad; Ballard`s Plumbing and Heating in
Petoskey; vs ACI from 96.1 OKC:
WLXT 96.3 PETOSKEY MI ADULT CONTEMPORARY LITE 96.3 100.0 kW 299.0 m
--- 1472 km = 915 mi

94.5 at 1901, 3:01 timecheck, inviting R&R requests, and multi-station
ID including WYPV Mackinaw City, too quick to copy all,
``road-runner`` only station for R&R:
WYPV relays:WQON 100.3 94.5 MACKINAW CITY MI CLASSIC ROCK Q 100 50.0
kW 110.0 m // WWMN 106.3 --- 1514 km = 941 mi

97.5 at 1911, ``Werewolf 97.5``, country. Turns out to be the Alva OK
station not far from Enid to the NW, but a new name on me. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KZLF
``KZLF ("Werewolf 97.5 FM") is a radio station broadcasting an adult
hits music format licensed to Alva, Oklahoma, United States.[1] The
station is currently owned by Running Wolf Radio LLC, which purchased
it from George S. Flinn in 2022.[2]`` ``Human all day - WOLF ALL
NIGHT`` see https://werewolf975.com/ --- ex-KPAK. WTFDA has new call
but not new branding and non-silent format:
KZLF 97.5 ALVA OK Silent CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN 97.5 THE QUAKE 50.0 kW
150.0 m 37-01-27 98-41-22 Silent 3/25/22 equip replacement --- 70 km =
44 mi

96.7 at 1917, ad for waterfront property (877) 333-8830 or
https://whiteoakcreekranchtx.com --- TX??? I`ve been getting Michigan
but those clues indeed lead to Texas, phone in Decatur which is NW of
Fort Worth. From photos, the ``water`` refers to ponds or lakes or
creeks, not seashore! Surely not advertising waterfront property to
Michiganders. Closest station to there is on N side of The Metroplex:
KTCK-FM 96.7 FLOWER MOUND TX SPORTS RADIO 1310 & 96.7, THE TICKET 90.0
kW 621.0 m All Sports all the time - KTCK The Ticket - //KTCK 1310 ---
so this is fluke extended GW and that tall tower helps, not sporadic
E. KTCK 1310 being successor to long-lamented WRR --- 381 km = 236 mi

99.7 at 1927, ``Hank FM``, another fringe Okie, but later see there is
another same name in adjacent Kansas on same 99.7; beware, but only
ours spells HANK backwards: Can anyone think of another station
branding by spelling callsign backwards? FHGK sure won`t work:
KNAH 99.7 MUSTANG OK COUNTRY HANK FM 47.0 kW 155.0 m - 112 km = 70 mi
KGHF 99.7 BELLE PLAINE KS COUNTRY 99.7 HANK FM 50.0 kW 147.0 m unhrd

93.1 at 1930, ``93 K-ROCK``, one last gasp of the Es from MI, and one
Yooper I heard in previous opening:
WIMK 93.1 IRON MOUNTAIN MI ROCK 93.1 K ROCK 100.0 kW 180.0 m --- 1331
km = 827 mi

More sporadic E FM DX yet to be compiled:
July 3 at 0129-0218 UT: AZ, CA; Mexico SONORA already done
July 4 at 1634-1907+ UT: NV, UT, WY, ID, MT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13745-13755, July 4 at 0616, sure sounds like weak DRM
noise but nothing in skeds to account for it. Maybe China or Russia?
Romania is on 13750 at other times in AM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2347 UT July 4

another R. Andorra revival, via AUSTRIA; tnx to tip from Jorge
Freitas, Brasil on the WOR iog. Last we heard, this month was going to
be only on 6180 earlier for Europe, as had not raised money for the N
American repeat, and had no prior notice this would be on. Still going
at 0007 July 3; or something else on 13730? VG into Maryland remote,
S9+10/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BOLIVIA [and non]. 5952.4, July 3 at 0103, Texas Radio SW on 5950
WRMI has a considerable het on the USB side, evitable by LSB tuning.
Got to be the sporadically re-active Radio Pio Doce on its signature
split frequency. Can`t copy anything tho by tuning 5952.4 on USB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9673.2v, July 3 at 0646, no signal from RVM here, but a JBA
carrier a smidgin below 9675, which could be RVM or China. I`m on the
less sensitive interior longwire due to storms in my area (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, July 3 at 0638, RHC English on supposedly Spanish-only
frequency scheduled to end at 0500 per Aoki but EiBi shows an English
hour at 0500-0600, which is certainly a sporadic error. Only // still
on is 6165; while 5040 remains in Spanish. 11670 is S9/+10 but
distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, July 3 at 1448, RHC playing an American Standard tune
very familiar but racking my brain trying to remember the name;
S9+10/20 but unfortunately very distorted, boding ill for Esperanto to
follow Sunday at 1500 but not rechecked. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. Another sporadic E opening I start hearing with Spanish
from the west, UT July 3 on caradio, standard provisos; reference
WTFDA FM Database:

97.3 at 0129, Mexmx in $ tereo. Nothing further but judging from PTA of
others, most likely the only one in Sonora, but in the south, not
close to Arizona, and none in BC, AZ, CA or NV:
XHSOS-FM 97.3 EL SIFÓN SON MEX Spanish RANCHERA LA RANCHERA 25.0 kW
ERP 76.96 m HAAT 31-17-19 109-40-28 --- 1512 km = 940 mi

96.7 at 0130, ID for ``Nogales, Sonora, XHN#S, 100,000 watts, La Mejor

FM``, music:
XHNGS-FM 96.7 HERÓICA NOGALES SON MEX Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN LA
MEJOR 30.38 kW 19.2 m --- 1330 km = 826 mi

93.5 at 0131, ``XHPO, Super 93.5 FM`` ID with street address Juárez
algo, zona Centro``. NO list in WTFDA db, but broad search on call,
slogan and frequency leads to Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, which is in the
NW close to AZ, but wrong frequency. They must have moved! IIRC, top
end of Mex FM band is being cleared for community radio stations:
XHPPO-FM 106.1 PUERTO PEÑASCO SON MEX Spanish SPANISH HITS SÚPER
15.0 kW 62.12 m 31-18-20 113-32-11
However, twits show 93.5 already in 2019y but illustrated with 106.1
logo! Instagram and FB have it on 93.5 and FB with address:
``Blvd. Freemont # 9. Col. Benito Juárez. CP, Puerto Peñasco, Mexico``
--- 1551 km = 964 miles

96.5 at 0153, JBA Spanish tropical song. Not AZ, but probably same
city as 93.5:
XHITA-FM 96.5 PUERTO PEÑASCO SON MEX Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN LA
BESTIA GRUPERA 40.56 kW 189.55 m 31-43-43 113-14-09

Several more from AZ, CA this opening yet to be researched (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 USB, July 3 at 0034, ``Dream x 3`` song,
classic rock, S3/S4 vs storm noise level hitting S8. Off by 0055 check
but then there are 6950 and 6955. Zero logs of 6960 tonight at HF
Underground, but 24 h earlier, Ballsmacker Radio was widely reported
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, July 3 at 0055, rough blues song, good
signal; 0101 Wolverine Radio ID and SSTV, off by 0107 check. Multiple
logs here including several takes of the same SSTV image at sign-off:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,99150.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, July 3 at 0056, romantic/love song segués,
much weaker S7 than 6950 Wolverine, past 0113, JBA by 0120. These say
it`s Damn Skippy, with several copies of four different SSTV images:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, July 2 at 0033, S9+25 of country music as
local Enid CBer is again a pirate relaying 103.1 KOFM, as later
confirmed by //. At times a big het from another carrier, to jam it? I
wonder if the YL DJ realize she now be a worldwide SW broadcaster?
Sporadic E in play on 10m beacon band and shortly also on 88+ MHz FM,
so should be DXable by skip; but there are a lot more CBers on 27185,
blotted out here.

27184.460, July 3 at 1445, there it is again, S9+20 local signal, this
time measured exactly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. July 3 at 0037-0053 UT, not getting any sporadic E
FM DX, I default to the ham 28 MHz CW beacon band, IDs from WJ5O
roster:

28280 at 0037, dash and DE K5AB CENTRAL TEXAS; alternating with: DE

** U S A. 9940, July 3 at 0643, WTWW S9+10 at odd hour for this and //
5085, rock music and talking about it. Ricky Leong, Alberta, had just
reported both to the WOR iog:

``During a break from the program "The History of Rock 'n' Roll," WTWW
presented a six-minute newscast at 0500 UTC, July 3, 2022, introduced
as "the latest news from Ukraine." The audio appears to have been
generated by a text-to-speech program and the newscast was entirely
"read" from a script, as no actualities (audio clips) were presented.
The information contained in the newscast seemed consistent with war
reports from major news organizations and wire services over the last
two days. The sign-off indicated the report was prepared by a
correspondent for the station in Ukraine, identified only by the first
name Alexander — actual spelling unknown, obviously. This newscast was
repeated some 90 minutes later. Ah yes, I should have mentioned: it
was in English. I didn't think to check how well 5085 and 9940 were
propagating into eastern Europe at that time. I'd guess 5085 had no
chance but 9940 might have been alright, if ionospheric conditions
were co-operating. 73, Ricky Leong, Calgary, Alberta, Canada``

What a coincidence that 0500 is the time WRMI used to relay UR1 with
`Ukraine: Security Issue` on 7730, but this is something different
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Another sporadic E FM DX opening July 3 at 0129-0210 from
Arizona, SE California, yet to be compiled, except for Sonora, see
MEXICO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday July 2 from 1457 checking for
LRA36 -- no signals into 4 Argentine nor 1 Uruguayan SDR, but I let
the latter run until finally cuts on air S6/S8 at *1517 during music,
1520 canned sign-on, 1522 Antártida song. Switch back to LU4AA SDR
which gets it even better, S3/S9, also much better than the other LUs.
And I am the only User of this frequency. At 1526, info about Base
Esperanza, temp range +8 to -30; winds 50 kph; 8 families overwinter
at this base only; Station began in October 1979 as first SW station
on the continent --- which is still a LIE, as AFAN 6012 started
several years before. 1528 the `Sound of Silence` with new lyrix about
Antca. 1532 YL says it`s program #9 of the 2022 season: how time
flies, naming staff. 1536 contact info. 1541 This Week in History.
1545 ``Audaz`` ID with frequencies, ``Nacional, la radio pública``.
1546 song. 1549 acknowledge some email. 1552 interview a guy who has
some background noise, like roaring surf? 1605 a song about Esperanza
but maybe just hopeful not about the base. 1609 ID, about to give
phone number? when chopped off the air; and never comes back as I let
it play in background while I am mainly listening to `The Score`,
cinemusic on KUCO. Not quite a full hour but this time managed a lot
more than 18 minutes after sign-on Wednesday. Nor any OTH
radar/jamming today. How about another try from 1800? Nothing at 1820
check into Montevideo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. Several FM DX stations from Manitoba and Saskatchewan are
intermixed with US in chrono order June 28 under USA [and non]: on
94.3, 92.1, 96.5, 88.1, 91.5, 92.7, 102.3, 90.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 7, July 2 at 1525 UT, no signal from `local` KOCO
``5`` OKC, the ABC affiliate, into my rooftop antenna as routed thru
STB DTV converter to one screen, no to my other DTV set. 2118 recheck
now there is a BAD signal not enough to decode via STB. Underpowered?
Intermittent? *2123 suddenly appears, turned up power or off backup
transmitter? Just as an unpredicted little pop-up storm approaches us
from the SW suggesting we should unplug (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2145 monitoring: confirmed Friday
July 1 from 1815.5 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 kHz
but not on 918 or 207; S9+20 into nearby Noale SDR. But axual SW 7290
via Bulgaria never comes on from 1800.8! Temp or permanent drop? It`s
back on next day Sat July 2 *1800.8 as usual JIP FSN.

Anyhow, earlier on 1323: tune-in 1756 with US political discussion, no
idea what program, until chopped off at 1800 for IRRS ``SW`` sign-on,
and right into Feature Story News including Spotlight. 1805 IRRS ID
again, song. 1813 starts an interview from UN Radio, chopped off at
1815 already for IRRS ID and then WOR. Meanwhile there was a slow SAH
on 1323, maybe with music, from another station, Romania propagating
again? After WOR finished at 1845, music; 1852 `Country Jamboree` DJ
talk, but now there is CCI from algo talking in English. 1900 a tone
from one of them and IRRS` closing Verdi theme.

WOR 2145 also confirmed at 2030 on 1323 only, as Noale is offline, but
S9+10/20 into Vinci/Parma SDR. The CCI could be this as just reported
by Carlos Goncalves, Portugal: ``1323.0 2145-2155 01/7 G Smooth R,
Brighton, 500 W. Songs. 25342 CG``

Also confirmed UT Saturday July 2 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into
Maryland SDR; also direct at 0151, noisy S9/+10.

Missed checking UT Sat July 2 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130; did
anyone hear it?

Also confirmed Saturday July 2 at 1600 on WRN N America webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday July 2 after 1930 one next WRN to N America.

Also confirmed Saturday July 2 ending at 2006 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
Wentzville MO, S9+9 steady into nearby Warrenton SDR, so started circa
1937.

Not confirmed Sat July 2 at 1948 on WRMI 15770 via Maryland SDR,
instead classic rock, another show or fill music? Despite WOR still
showing on the System B grid for 1930 Saturday on 15770, while the
rest of the day and night, that applies to 9955. However, the System C
grid shows Power of the Word Sat at 1930, certainly not what`s on now,
tho I think it was last week; as WOR has not really aired Sat at 1930
for several weeks. Next:

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat July 2 at 0052 I tune in WBCQ webcast
since `AAAWWW` usually gets down to business about this far into the
0000+ show - but Allan is talking about just getting back on air after
a power failure in the Fla studio. Unclear whether all the Maine
transmitters stayed on in meantime, no SW checked here now nor
earlier. Just getting into emails from far-right extremists they
attract, on to prayer and off circa 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Huge Sporadic E FM DX opening June 28, in fact two
of them overlapping for a while from opposite direxions: might have
provided double hop if I were not between them. As usual, all heard
with my own ears in real time on my own radio, no recordings, no
internet access for stream // or anything, until extensive research
following three days for this report. On stock Nissan 2004 caradio, no
RDS, vertical fender antenna only so no manipulation for DFing or
polarization. Ultimately I will capture dozens of stations in SD, ND,
MN, MB, SK, LA, TX, MT. Some IDs are circumstantial and will welcome
any correxions or ID help. I do not count stations, states or
anything, and am not in competition.

Each DX log is a potential learning experience about geography,
economy, broadcasting etc., so the details are what make it all
worthwhile, unlike MEGO condensed one-liner loggings some editors
insist upon. Main reference partially copied for each is the WTFDA FM
Database. Distances are approx. licensed city-to-Enid, not
site-to-site, from distancefromto.net WTFDA DB provides coordinates
for each station, but it`s so much easier to let that site calculate
from names, being sure none go haywire. All times strictly UT = CDT
+5

Seeing that the MUF is well into the FM band, I go to the garaged car
at 1610 UT June 28, tolerating the heat, and start tuning around.

94.1 at 1612, national adstring loud & clear, got to be DX. ``The

one, also religious, Brookings in E central SD, but only translator

99.5 at 1622, CCI to OKie, gospel huxter talk. Not MB or ND; only

102.5 at 1624, gospel huxter, maybe plugging a book about ``spiritual
biography of rock `n` roll``; music CCI. Manitoba ruled out, three MN
full-powers are not religious, nor is one other ND in Devils Lake, so
this ND translator?:

94.5 at 1626, license plate renewals due 6/30; City Express building
with Godfather`s Pizza, giveaways, rewards, north 2nd and 8th Ave NW;
a Northern Plains vet at 226-3816.

Search on clues leads to Aberdeen SD, like this from 2013y:
``Godfather's Pizza will return to Aberdeen next week with the opening
of Godfather's Express inside C-Express at 711 N. Second St. Food will
be available for takeout or delivery.`` And phone 226-3816 chex for N

73.0 mH only. Again at 1652, rock and YL DJ about Canada Day, ``local
weather, Mix 96``; 1653 CCI from a talk station --- 1510 km = 939 mi

100.3 at 1630, sports talk about baseball last night: Target Field,
Minnesota; Progressive Field, Cleveland; ``Our Twins`` so must be from
MN -- unless on a national ESPN or other sports network show? MN only
from the SE:
KFXN-FM 100.3 MINNEAPOLIS MN HD SPORTS KFAN SPORTS RADIO FM 100.3 98.0
kW 281.0 m KFAN Minnesota's Sports Station KFAN Minnesota's Sports
Station Talk [KFAN is on 1270 in Rochester] - 1030 km = 640 mi

At this point I had not realized another Es opening from the SSE was
coming up as you will soon see below, so possibly if on ESPN rather
than local:
KLRZ 100.3 LAROSE LA SPORTS 100.3 ESPN 89.0 kW 178.7 m THE FLAGSHIP
STATION OF THE PELICANS --- 1031 km = 640 mi
not to mention an OKie I never hear:
KJCM 100.3 SNYDER OK THE SPORTS ANIMAL 18.0 kW 117.0 m --- 216 km =
134 mi

107.5 at 1635, Sue`s LOUISIANA Health.com, ``107-Jam``, soft rock/rap
and 1638, ``The People`s Station, 107 Jam:
KJMH 107.5 LAKE ARTHUR LA URBAN AC 107.5 JAMZ 50.0 kW 141.0 m --- this
is close! 852 km = 530 miles

88.1 at 1639, French Canadian, M&W conversation about police en
Ontario, tribunale; migrants jumping the wall into Melilla:
CKSB-10-FM relays:CKSB-1050 88.1 WINNIPEG MB CAN French NEWS/TALK ICI
RADIO-CANADA PREMIERE 100.0 kW 223.0 m --- 1530 km = 934 mi

91.5 at 1641, classical harp, orchestral music. Not Canada, but:
KPRJ 91.5 JAMESTOWN ND HD CLASSICAL PRAIRIE PUBLIC RADIO 18.5 kW 108.0
m --- 1172 km = 728 mi
OR:
KQMN 91.5 THIEF RIVER FALLS MN HD CLASSICAL CLASSICAL MPR 84.0 kW
199.0 m - Minnesota Public Radio --- 1311 km = 814 mi

91.9 at 1643, Sonlifetv.com, Family Worship Center = KBDD Winfield KS,
near OK, normally inaudible or JBA - I would like to think this could
be backscatter sporadic E rather than just a groundwave fluke or
airplane scatter --- direct: 123 km = 77 mi --- Has sporadic E
backscatter been observed or verified under any circumstances?

92.9 at 1645, owner of Kia of Lake Charles. Another close one from a
town nearby to the east:
KHLA 92.9 JENNINGS LA CLASSIC HITS 92 9 THE LAKE 30.0 kW 195.0 m ---
842 km = 522 mi

93.5 at 1647, about Canada Day, Pémbina Valley events, ``The Eagle
93-5``, southern Manitoba ads, Winkler, rock:
CJEL-FM 93.5 WINKLER/MORDEN MB CAN SOFT AC EAGLE 93.5 100.0 kW 52.0 mH
only --- Winkler: 1422 km = 884 mi; Morden: 1423 km = 883 mi

93.1 at 1648, dead air vs CCI, one or other is Pratt KS, or DX

100.7 at 1655, gospel huxter, tough for anything adjacent to local
100.9 KGWA translator. Not MB, MN or SD, but maybe ND:
KLDQ 100.7 HARWOOD ND CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN K-LOVE 40.0 40.0 100.0
100.0 47-08-43 96-58-18 2D6A K-LOVE Adult Hits --- 1180 km = 733 mi
OR more likely non-musical from opposite, west of Lake Charles LA:
KKHT-FM 100.7 LUMBERTON TX RELIGIOUS TEACHING 100.7 THE WORD 100.0 kW
595.0 m --- 762 km = 474 mi -- see also 1734 log below

91.5 at 1700, news about Kayaks on Assiniboine river, Manitoba COVID
backlog:
CKLQ-FM relays:CKLQ-880 91.5 BRANDON MB CAN COUNTRY Q COUNTRY 100.0 kW
325.6 m --- 1507 km = 935 mi

104.7 at 1703, ``Star Spangled Banner`` slow version by soprano, odd
time, probably not Canadian, or a noontime tradition on some UStation?
Maybe just The Bull, Ponca City OK: should check again

92.7 at 1709, classical music; not MN, ND, SD, LA or TX, therefore:
CBWS-FM relays:CBW-FM 98.3 92.7 BRANDON MB CAN VARIETY CBC MUSIC
WINNIPEG 90.0 kW 297.7 m --- 1507 km = 935 mi

95.5 at 1710, soft rap unID; 96.3 at 1711 hard rap unID

95.3 at 1711, about N Dakota weather, temps, lowest 56 at Devils Lake,
in ``The Lunch Rush`` show. Search on that leads right to:
KKWZ 95.3 RUGBY ND ADULT CONTEMPORARY 6.0 kW 45.0 m --- 1343 km = 834
mi

93.7 at 1714, promo Sept 23-24 big concert in Las Vegas NV, iHeart
thing also heard on numerous other stations, (701) AC = ND, plug
iHeart employment opportunities; 838-4504 for cleaning; 1718, Z-94 ID;
CCI from Spanish! music. 1723, Z-94 again in ND, z94radio.com
KIZZ 93.7 MINOT ND CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO Z-94 100.0 kW 169.0 m ---
1343 km = 834 mi

93.3 at 1719, rapid Spanish CCI mix Jake OKC. Most likely in SE TX:
KQBU-FM relays:KLAT 1010 93.3 PORT ARTHUR TX Spanish SPORTS TUDN 93.3
/ 1010 97.0 kW 595.0 m --- 813 km = 505 mi

92.9 at 1720, Ziprecruiter ad, Victoria`s Secret podcast, NewsNation,
AccuWeather: highs & lows 84/52/93/61... and now 76; ``best of the 80s
and 90s``, jingle only: ``92.9``. Not Canada and temps = not TX. Not
KKJM St Joseph MN Christian. Not KXXL Grand Forx ND branded as XL93.
Most likely:
KYYY 92.9 BISMARCK ND ADULT CONTEMPORARY MIX 92.9 100.0 kW 301.0 m
And NWS archive for Bismarck confirms the 76 temp! in CDT:
28 12:52 NE 14 G 23 10.00 Fair CLR *77* 51 78 55 40% NA 78 30.15

96.7 at 1724, Spanish, for May`s Liquor, Beer and Wine; ad for Juan
Matheney? CPA at (903) AC. 1725 Tyler ads, Audacy.com promo, right
into ad in English, 1727 State Farm, YL SS for Home Depot; ``La
Invasora`` ID, temps, phone interview with number 5x: (903) 646-4102.
``Lo que la gente pide; quiere``. 1729 ``La Invasora 96.7 y en
107.9``, song. 903 AC = Tyler and NE TX. May`s is in Malakoff, SW of
Tyler on way to Corsicana, but also in Winona close to Tyler on other
side. No doubt whatsoever that this is:
KOYE 96.7 FRANKSTON TX USA Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN LA INVASORA 92.3 &
96.7 50.0 kW 150.0 m //KTLH 107.9

And no doubt it IS SPORADIC E at an extremely close distance, which is
just as rare as an extremely far distance! Indicating a very strong
opening. 530 km = 329 miles!!! In all my sesquidecades of VHF DXing,
don`t believe I`ve ever had any Es closer on TV or FM. This is also
corroborated by other close logs above and below from LA and TX but
not this short.

97.5 at 1730, Veritex Community Bank, Houston Rockets sports talk:
That bank has many branches in the Houston area and Metroplex DFW:
KFNC-FM1 relays:KFNC 97.5 97.5 HOUSTON TX SPORTS ESPN 97.5 2.0 kW 0.0

KFNC 97.5 MONT BELVIEU TX HD SPORTS ESPN 97.5 3.0 kW 172.0 m 29-46-07
95-01-05 -- note original and booster are only 1 second of latitude
and longitude apart. Mont Belvieu just east of Houston on I-10 --- 779
km = 484 mi

99.3 at 1733, screaming gospel huxter, CCI probably with Ponca City:
due to SE TX PTA, I figure it`s this out of Houston:
KDER relays:KHCB-FM 105. 99.3 COMSTOCK TX RELIGIOUS TEACHING KEEPING
HIM CLOSE BY 50.0 kW 103.0 m Houston Christian Broadcasters --- until
I realize Comstock is way out west on the Rio Grande beyond Del Rio.
What else? No fits for MB, SK, ND or MT. There is a Louisiana station
but presumably more musical than preaching and on the Miss in NE LA:
KQJO 99.3 ST. JOSEPH LA URBAN GOSPEL/BLUES 14.5 kW 132.0 m --- 788 km
= 489 mi
OR even maybe this not noticed before but horizontal vs my vertical:
KHDD-LP 99.3 OKLAHOMA CITY OK RELIGIOUS TEACHING 0.0447 kWH only 44.5
mH only --- 108 km = 67 mi to downtown, but OKC is quite expansive so
if it were certain would need to locate it exactly

100.7 at 1734, M&W conversation on family relationships -- see 1655
entry above, ND or TX. With vertical antenna, no DFing

102.3 at 1735, rock, YL DJ Kimberly, June almost over, school lunches,

KXKU 106.1 LYONS KS COUNTRY KICKS 106 100.0 kW 200.0 m
adastraradio.com Your Hometown Radio Stations --- It seems stations on
96 or 106 find it almost irresistible to monicker themselves KIX or
MIX. How about DIX, FIX, HIX, LIX, NIX, PIX, TIX, VIX, or WIX...?

88.1 at 1740, Spanish amid CCI
