R. Rebelde is on. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. The Other
Side:

``Covert castigation: violations of the right to health in Cuban
prisons ---
While ordinary prisoners' health is compromised by 'indifference and
indolence, political prisoners are victims' of 'systematic attacks' on
their health through conditions of isolation, and illnesses, explains
Juan Carlos González Leyva.
Raúl Medina Orama, Lima, 25 Jun 2024 - 18:01 CEST

Magalis González turns on the camera on her cell phone to post her
umpteenth complaint on social media about the health of her son,
Ismael Rodríguez González. The young man, sentenced to seven years in
prison in Cuba for the massive protests in July 2021 (11-J) lies near
her, dazed and with swollen feet, after arriving from the Guanajay
Penitentiary, west of Havana, where he is serving his sentence...``

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 11610, June 25 at 1830, VOA Amharic this hour
via Woofferton UK is being jammed by buzzing and beeping noises, but
at UTwente, that`s underneath VOA. Tnx to tip from Paul Walker. At
1840, no jamming audible into TWR Kenya remote. By 1915 when language
is Oromo, jamming level is heavier as heard by UTwente. Why would
Ethiopia be so concerned about VOA? Of course the Amharix and Oromos
don`t get along. Recorded sample of jamming right after VOA went off
at 1929; maybe will put into WOR 2249 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 105.1, June 25 at 2322, KOSB Perry is MONO, not shown as
such in WTFDA FMDB. ``Triple Play Sports`` also on AM 1020 & 1580. And
running a commercial for ``University of Maryland, Global Campus``, of
all things, in OSU territory.

However, at 2030 check June 26, 105.1 is OFF, likely another victim of
last night`s windstorm / powerlines down. And at 2043, I notice that
its AM companion, 1020 KOKP is also off! Maybe we can hear KDKA again
tonight if not RVC Roswell. Third 3-play outlet, 1580 KOKB Blackwell
is still ON. I thought they operated out of Stillwater but NRC AM Log
shows Ponca City address for 1020 & 1580, the latter being close to
PC. Trying to check whether 105.1 and 1020 are at same site, but FCC
AM Query can`t find KOKP! As if it have been deleted. LMS can, but not
the page with coordinates. All three are licensed until 2029y.

Since the WTFDA FM DB editors apparently don`t pay attention to my
reports, I have notified them directly about this mono and others
confirmed this year by monitoring: in OK: KIEL 89.3, KFXI 92.1, KOSU
91.7 =50/50; KS: KCVW 94.3; TX: KTCK 96.7; Mexico: XHMYL 92.1. And
just now at 2030 June 26, I notice two more monos: KHEV 90.3, Fairview
OK; and 100.9, K265FL, Enid, talkradio translator tail wagging the dog
of 960 KGWA. KQCV 95.1 Shawnee is another Bott station, likely to be
mono too? Yes! at 2308 fadeups vs KICT Wichita which is $ tereo, the
100/100 kW KQCV signal is definitely mono.

95.3, the KOKC translator in OKC, K237GE, is in $ tereo, talk station
might as well be mono for slightly more effective coverage. Would you
believe that the WTFDA FMDB shows its antenna height as 0 meters
HAAT?? It must really be way up on some TV tower to reach as far as
Enid reliably with 250 watts. FCC FM Query also shows 0 m HAAT, but
658 m AMSL and 314 m AGL, with a link to Calculate HAAT: that
``results`` in 302 m -- that`s 990 feet. If our LP CP on 95.1 come on,
will put an end to it around here (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 15, June 26 circa 1500 and still at 2359 UT, NO signal
from KTBO ``14``, Trinity in OKC. Must have been blown off air by huge
hurricane-force straight winds/not tornadic storm hitting OKC area
late last night, many power lines down in addition to building
damages. KTBO also missing from Optimum cable ch 3 in Enid: unlikely
to have relied on off-air pickup, so TBN damage may be more than just
transmitter/antenna. All other OKC TV signals back to `normal` levels
except RF 29 KTUZ, weakened but still sufficient. Nothing recent on
KTBO website, let alone any damage report!
https://www.tbn.org/stations/ktbo-tv-oklahoma-city-ok
God got`em, but not the secular competitors.

KFOR, KOCO, KWTV and KOKH all went full-storm coverage pre-empting at
least late-night network shows. CBS Colbert, a rerun anyway, could be
found on shunt station KSBI ``52`` on RF 23. No doubt each station`s
website has much about the storm; damage repair expected to take quite
some time. Thousands of customers are without power as temps exceed
100. Enid was missed by this but eastern part of Garfield County also
had outages, as well as many other counties eastward and southward
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, June 25 at 0657, in bandscan direct, tune-in just in
time to hear an S1/S3 signal here, YL talking, sounds like French, but
cuts off at 0658*; back on briefly and off again to stay. This is a
formerly used R. Vanuatu frequency, nothing else scheduled now, so
surely this explains why 7260 is no longer heard before 0700, as I had
just reconfirmed a few minutes earlier. But are they moving to 7260
after 0700? NO, still nothing. 3945 is again being reported as the
next frequency, but still lacking the helpful harmonix 7890 & 11835 it
used to provide. 0700 is too early for me to get 3945 if on, and the
harmonix are still suppressed. Other reports:

``Lucio Otavio Bobrowiec, 3945 kHz, R. Vanuatu, VUT; 06/25, 0928-0937
YL, OM. 35333, 7890, 11835 off/inaudible (LOB). Tecsun 310ET, Dipole

Wolfgang Bueschel: ``9959.998 kHz, two radio signals here on that
channel at 0624 UT, probably R Vanuatu, Pacific radio program. S=9+5dB

EiBi still shows 9960 but at 2300-0458 only. Then 7260 at 0458-1105 &
1959-2259; but also 3945 at 0458-1105 & 1845-1959.

Aoki shows 3945 at 0600-1000 & 1900-2000; 5040 at 2000-2400; 5055 at
2100-0100; 7260 at 0000-0559; and no others.

Yet different info in HFCC: the very first entry is VUT on 2485 at
1000-1900; 3945 at 0600-1100 & 1900-2000; 5040 at 2100-0100; 7260 at
2000-0700; 9960 at 2300-0700; all daily for the entire A24 season. RNZ
has filed those frequencies for them as they also do for Solomon
Islands. Vanuatu have only one 10 kW transmitter, so much of these
skeds must be taken as possible alternatives (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

late, no modulation, S9/+5 into UTwente and not the usual .009 offset,

for English to us and the Letterbox show. Should have checked previous
accidental alternates 11795 & 9875. Another anomaly followed UT June

with ACI until it`s off at 2356*, presumably CRI 9865 Urumqi. And at
2256 restart IS with Portuguese IDs; hard to understand, but seems
like ``Ouvem a TRT, Voz de Túrkiye`` [not Turquia, stress on the i].
JRX in Brasil heard this test? broadcast last night and we are
rechecking. Some modulation dropouts. 0000 UT June 25, S/on with
lengthy satellite parameters, 5-digit MHz frequencies, symbol rates,
etc., for a broadcast at 22h Turkish time, I think. At the very end
also mentioned SW 9870, time not copied, but presumably now and an
intentional broadcast before the 01-02 Spanish on same, rather than
accidental. Does not start with news, rather music, and very little
talk during hour. 0027 multi-lingual ID filler reel like during
English. 0034 `That`s Why` theme, now titled ``Por que``? YL announcer
with Luso not Braso accent, and JRX finds her Turkish accent makes it

** U S A. Re FM DX log of WRVQ 94.5, Greg Hardison replies: ``I
checked the WRVQ entry on Radio-Locator, and sho' 'nuff, it jives out
there as 200 kW! I expected a bit of Corporate-Radio BS, perhaps
counting 100 kW twice, as in H + V modulation. So then checked it on
the FCC FM Query page: same deal, logging in at 200 kW. Apparently it
must pay to have connections, hi hi! And it's no real surprise to hear
a spot mentioning "the Beach". Much of my family's from that part of
the planet, and there is a good amount of commercial-and-leisure
trans-traffic up & down I-64 between Richmond and the Hampton Roads
area; much more so than one sees between Rchmd and D.C., which is only
about forty miles further away. As for the "ad" on the Liberty Univ.
Outlet, remember, the RW extremists are above any mere laws, so if
they are not divinely struck down while airing commercials below 92
MHz, then it must be all good! :^)> :^)>``

A few FM stations, notably in Michigan, were ``grandfathered`` in with
excessive powers. I just went thru all 634 MI stations in WTFDA FMDB,
and found only these super-powers:
93.7 320/320 kW ERP WBCT Grand Rapids
104.3 190/190 kW ERP WOMC Detroit
105.7 265/265 kW ERP WSBW Grand Rapids
And of the 515 VA stations, only one other >100/100 kW ERP:
99.1 190.9/190.9 kW ERP WSLQ Roanoke

I wonder if they acquired over-powered transmitter(s?) and/or greater
antenna gain? But especially how they justified greater coverage than
competitors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 7260, June 23 at 0625, RV is active JBA. The 40m
band now is crammed with hams for Field Day & Night?! Right now they
are far enough from 7260 not to be a problem: LSB on 7259, 7263.
Normally 40m LSB hams avoid the higher reaches anyway, more and more
below 7250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. MUF spike to 107 MHz NW of here per DXMAP before 0200 UT
June 23, after a day mostly below 88 since big morning Es opening I
mostly missed; so out to the car for bandscan: nothing much, but 89.5,
an ``open for DX`` frequency except for ACI, has something JBA on it:
I rarely even trace KWGS Tulsa. Seems like ID at 0159, ``This is
CF---`` something and shortly gospelhuxterism mentioning prophecy,
body of Christ, etc. Any clues at WTFDA FM DB? After 0230 it`s
inaccessible, `Bad Gateway`, server overload. So I pull out the final
FM Atlas from 2010y: only 3 stations in western Canada, AB and BC,
none of them with CF-calls. O, WRTH 2024 shows that has not changed
much, nor in SK, MB. Meanwhile DXMAP shows paths between OK and WA,
nexus over WY, grrr.

Next day by 1538 UT June 23, FMDB is back in biz: of the 28 Canadians
on 89.5, the only CF- prefix is in Goose Bay. Is there a marginal
religious 89.5 around here? Yes, 23.5 kW KJCC Carnegie OK which I have
rarely logged; and three further translators in OKC, Elk City, and
Felt at far end of Panhandle. In KS, xltrs in Topeka, Parsons (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

6160 kHz: 15:00 to 22:00 UTC - Monday until Friday

3975 kHz: 17:00 to 00:00 UTC - daily

So the Monday slot at 08:00 UT has been canceled. Thanks for
cooperation and good DX, Andy (Engineer - Shortwave Radio, Winsen at
the River Aller, Germany)`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2248 monitoring: one must keep
checking the WRMI skedgrids in case a WOR time be deleted, or added: I
do find a new one for Saturdays 0930 UT on 9455. This is at 285
degrees = WNW for western N America, not too far off our azimuth from
Okee about 315. Since I strive to remain sound asleep at that hour,
ASAP almost 6 hours ahead, I asked the WOR group for someone to
confirm that, if they are already awake at 0930: not a single reply.

285 carries on across the Pacific, aimed right at Honolulu, by
coincidence? and then Majuro, Port Moresby, Kununurra, so I wonder if
there be sufficient reception in Australia or SE Asia. Local times:
Honolulu 2330, Majuro 2130, Port Moresby 1930, Kununurra 1730.

Confirmed UT Saturday June 22 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, VG direct; S9/+10
into NH SDR; S9+20/40 into Missouri SDR. Had been signing off at 0400*
other nights but still extended for WOR. Previous program wasn`t
finished but faded down by 0359 for ID and WOR. As usual, a bit of
music followed at 0429 until chopoff circa 0430* with no formal ID or
s/off.

Confirmed Saturday June 22 at 1440 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.001, S7/S9 into UTwente in broad summersun.

Missed checking Sat June 22 at 1600 on WRN NAm webcast, but very

** U S A. Saturday June 22, I`m not up and checking DXMAP until 1530
UT when I see a huge mess of sporadic E FM DX lines across
central/eastern USA with MUF above 100 MHz. So I hasten to check on
the DX-398 inside:

94.5 at 1534, ad mentioning the beach, ``Q-94`` non ID; RDS shows
SABRINA_, later FEATHER_, i.e. music refs, not ID. So it is:
WRVQ 94.5 RICHMOND VA 200.0 kW 109.0 m 37-24-15 77-18-55 HD Title &
Artist on Q94 CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO Q-94

If it were merely Q94 the only hit on 94.5 would be Harlingen TX by
searching the Slogan field. So is there a hyphen in the VA one or not?
Stations should be required to utter ``dash`` or ``hyphen`` if that`s
the case. And look at that power, twice the normal 100 kW limit. How
did they pull that off? Richmond is inland, not on a beach.

94.9 at 1535, ad for Lowe? Fibre Internet, City of Roanoke VA PSA:
WSLC-FM 94.9 ROANOKE VA 95.5 kW 598.0 m 37-11-50 80-09-11 949 STAR -
Now Playing Title/Artist COUNTRY STAR COUNTRY 94.9

95.3 at 1537, ads for Colonial Williamsburg, Kia; Virginia Repertory
Theater, Amelia County Fair; ``New Country K-95``:
WKHK 95.3 COLONIAL HEIGHTS VA 47.0 kW 156.0 m 37-26-22 77-26-01 K95!
Title & Artist on New Country K95! COUNTRY K-95

If it were merely K95, the only hit on 95.3 would be Willmar MN by
searching the Slogan field. So is there a hyphen in the VA one or not?
Stations should be required to utter ``dash`` or ``hyphen`` if that`s
the case. Amelia County is west of C.Hts., SW of Richmond.

Then I move to the caradio, but the opening is almost finished:

88.3 at 1550, Liberty University mentioned, and several times, ``The
Journey``, commercial mentioning central Virginia; isn`t this the NCE
sub-band?:
WRVL 88.3 LYNCHBURG VA 28.0 kW 346.0 m 37-11-50 79-21-06 RELIGIOUS
TEACHING THE JOURNEY Liberty University

104.5 at 1605, WTER mentioned, and another station, probably referring
to gospelhuxter net members rather than this frequency, which may only
be normal fringer KZZW Mooreland OK. But WTER is not a valid FM or AM
call anywhere.

Nothing more to 1630 when I have just missed confirming WOR on WRN. At
1635 DXMAP shows the Es nexus has been over SE Missouri (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, WOR)
