** U S A. ``Hello Glenn, Happy 4th of July, Based on SDR trolling and
some listener check-ins, the WBCQ 4th of July in the Park should have
done OK near you although there was some storm activity in parts of
the region. The next special will be Labor Day, again a multi-program
effort. Although I am serving as cat-herder as Uncle Bill, the larger
purpose is to showcase WBCQ's music programs generally, and I hope
that the other programs (Marion's Attic, Behavior Night, Lost Discs,
Rock Wave and others) also attract new listeners, and perhaps this
might even inspire some aspiring radio host to start a new program as
well. At a minimum, we hope to serve as a reminder that music on
licensed broadcast shortwave (not just pirates) is very much alive.

LLC`` 0222 UT July 5. My reply:

``Hi Bill, Enjoyed it. Since I was at the computer instead of the SW
radio, I could not resist listening via the WBCQ stream. I am ashamed?
Anyhow some of it was in $ tereo and the scratches were clearer, hi. As
you know, SW from `BCQ is not the best here, even without storms, and
especially without 500 kW. In scheduling, you might want to consider
possible competition from --- TV, as PBS, CNN and NBC were all
starting their 4OJ specials at same time. Your fireworx were hard to

** U S A. 7490v, 6160v, 5130v, UT Sat July 4 after 0000, for AAAWWW,
these WBCQs are detectable, very poor signals with storm noise; all I
hear at a quick check is Angela overmodulating an opinion on current
events.

Has been repeating 24 hours later on 7490v at least, but not this
week, as UT Sun July 5 at 0000-0100 is when Uncle Bill`s
much-publicized 4th of July musical special is due, on 7490+v and
6159.9v.

Unfortunately simultaneously with `A Capitol Fourth` on PBS-TV, but
repeated a sesquihour later at least on OETA; and CNN`s 4OJ special at
0000-0400 UT, not to mention countless local events, including Enid,
where the Enid Symphony Orchestra is barreling ahead with its
traditional performance at Meadowlake Park despite the risks; people
are encouraged to spread out as there is plenty of space around the
lake, but in best of times getting in and out is problematic, e.g.
avoiding those burning poison gas, i.e. smokers who think it`s OK as
long as it`s outside; and parking is a nightmare.

I urged conductor Doug Newell to reconsider; what about the musicians
crammed under the canopy? The windy ones at least cannot be masked.
How about recording and/or broadcasting it? He says they don`t have
the rights to do so, which would be an additional expense.

The concert is always free to the public, underwritten this year by
Security National Bank. Starts around 0130 UT after a full day
schedule of other risky events at the Park, and to accompany fireworx
circa 0230 when it`s finally darkening.

To avoid the hassles, the past few years we have been attending
instead dress rehearsals at 4 pm Saturday back in Symphony Center, but
not this year in that enclosed and possibly crowded venue. The
fireworx can of course be seen from a considerable distance away, but
the music inaudible. Years before I had tried to get them to employ a
Part 15 FM transmitter for better sound than over the loudspeakers,
and maybe audible just outside the park in cars. Nix.

ESO apparently is itching to get going again with no performances
since March, the final scheduled concert of the year, an all-Beethoven
bash in April for season subscribers only, postponed. BTW, there
aren`t enough local musicians to form an orchestra, so ESO has to draw
in others from elsewhere in OK. As a 51-K city, we are lucky to have
it and hope all of them survive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

`Destination: Algeria` tourist talk by OM about the sights in the
northeast, then northwest; 1841 into Spanish, weekly Latin American
correspondent in Bs. As. about the COVID-19 situation especially in

that this hour only carries the International domestic network, not
just Arabic/Qur`an and some French but also English circa 1830 and
Spanish like this. Times could be 1 minute off as I recorded during
significantly home-grown salad lunch and did not listen until later.

AFAWK, this is the only time for English on SW, other than some
scattered IDs. Monitored here VG via UTwente SDR; didn`t try direct

off-frequency for second day in a row, S3-S5, usual syrupy choral
music from paradise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2041)

** OKLAHOMA. Re: 1270 KRXO in Tulsa [now in Spanish // 107.9]. Yes
Glenn, KRXO abruptly changed their format a few weeks ago. "The
Franchise" laid off their main morning hosts early in the Pandemic, I
wondered then if the handwriting was on the wall... 107.7 is off the
air, 73 (Chris KC5IIE Krug, Tulsa, OK, July 2, WOR iog)

Chris, OK, but what do you mean by ``107.7 is off the air?`` The only
107.7 in OK is the original KRXO-FM in OKC, still very much on the air
as The Franchise, in English as I am hearing it now (Glenn, Enid, 1459
UT July 2, WOR)

** U S A. 28263-, July 2 at 1424, one 10m beacon is JBA, VVV DE W4JPL
BCN ... LIB ... 05. No /B suffix, just space, BCN. Partial msg copied
after multiple repeats. WJ5O roster shows:
``28.2635 W4JPL C LIBERTY NORTH CAROLINA # 4W, 5/8 VERTICAL``
And QRZ.com:
``W4JPL USA flag USA, JOHN P LLOYD, LIBERTY, NC 27298 USA``
with no further info. Liberty is SE of Greensboro on the way to Siler
City, or forming an equilateral triangle with Greensboro and
Burlington. I logged it as on the minus side of 28263 but listed on
plus side; one of us is mistaken. Very briefly another beacon
audiblized slightly higher in frequency. No Es MUF into FM today;
openings should taper off as we get into July but there could still be
some goodies if we can catch them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9980 during the day July 2, and 5890 at night, checked 0420
UT July 3, WWCR-4 still off the air depriving us of extra BS. John
Jurasek found an explanation on the website:

``WWCR is working on a major transmitter repair. Additionally, WWCR
streams may not be playing scheduled content. . . All parts needed to
complete this project should be received by July 3. WWCR staff and
management appreciate your patience during this time.``

Program skeds have now been updated as of July 1, and WWCR-4 still
shows 24/7 on 9980/7520/5890, so enjoy the fresh air while we can!

Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be late
July. Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe

** CUBA. 13820, July 1 at 1402, noise jammer grinding away vs nothing,
since that`s a B-season-only Radio Martí frequency, instead on 13605
now, also heavily jammed. Something`s always incompetent and excessive
at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 13760.201, July 1 at 1403, VOK way off-frequency, JBA
talk in unID language. Much weaker 13650 is on 13649.964. The other
ones closer to nominal but unmeasured: 11735, 11710-strongest, 9435
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1270, June 30 daytime I can`t get enough signal from KRXO
Claremore/Tulsa; UT July 1 at 0158 now some skywave helps as I hear
Spanish, ``tu música`` and indeed music right across 0200 hourtop;
0202 ID mentions ``107.9 FM y 1270 AM``; 0510 UT recheck I again hear
``107.9``. Plenty of QRM but this station is generally atop on my E-W
longwire. More music across 0600, until 0603 full ID, the first few
words pronounced sorta English, ``KRXO, Claremore-Tulsa, 1270 AM y
107.9 FM ---- nueva frecuencia``.

I was checking it out after seeing this in Bill Hale`s FM News column
in July WTFDA VHF-UHF Digest:

``OK Oklahoma City 107.9 KRXO-FM Spanish CHR: ‘Ritmo 107.9’``

That can`t be right, as the real full-power KRXO-FM is still on 107.7
in OKC, with stupid sports talk, in English; certainly no room for
another, one channel up! Same owner Tyler Media does have a 107.9
translator in Tulsa of KRXO (AM) 1270; and a CP to move it to nearby
Broken Arrow, per FCC FM Query. However, WTFDA FM Database shows
K300CY, the 107.9 in Broken Arrow is Spanish CHR, Ritmo 107.9,
relaying KRXO 1270.

1270 must be a recent flip, not sure when; believe I still had 1270 in
English sports talk early in June. Radio-locator.com still has it
sports, ``The Franchise``. Site is between Owasso and Claremore, NE of
Tulsa, but plenty coverage of entire metro. 5 kW day pattern does have
a notch toward Enid; 1 kW night pattern less of a notch. Why move the
FM to Broken Arrow, SE of Tulsa? Census data indicates most Hispanic
neighborhoods are in central Tulsa. Maybe it`s going up on a
high-tower antenna farm.

Radio.locator.com coverage map for ``K300CY-FM`` [sic] shows from east
side of Tulsa near ``New Tulsa``, local contour not reaching all of
Tulsa but the distant one does (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2040 monitoring: confirmed the Wednesday July
1 at 2100+ on WBCQ 7490v, good at a Rochester NY SDR checked at 2121,

it were I speaking. Next:

0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 9395, July 1 at 1417, this WRMI-6 is off, no signal, while
9455 WRMI-8 with TOMBS on same parameters is S9+10. Recheck at 1836,
9395 is back on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7315, WHRI, not multi-squealy at 0100 June 30, OK with VOV
relay, unlike 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9980, July 1 at 1830, WWCR-4 is still AWOL; crashed?
Outdated June 1 program schedules still display (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11600-11300, July 1 at 1407-1416, looking for CNR1
jammers, hear a big wideband buzz slowly drifting downward, ionosonde?
Seemed steady but really slowing down, as I time approximate intervals
between crossings:
11450-11400: 55 seconds
11400-11350: 80 seconds
11350-11300: 205 seconds
And it`s just about stalled around 11300, 55 seconds later
