** BRAZIL. 4885+, Aug 28 at 0617, JBA carrier just enough to tell it`s
slightly offset+plus, but is it R. Clube do Pará or the usual
understation, Rdif. Acreana, Rio Branco. Can anyone confirm which or
both still active? Someone was wondering if these stations had burned
up, but I would not expect that in the cities rather than the jungle.
I was lucky to detect this much before 2.6 inches of rain abated my
line noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 29 at 1356:
10160, Chinese, VP
11100, Chinese, VP
11460, Chinese, then music, S4-S7
Three more WOOB JBA carriers on 12350, 13150 an 13320 compute to be
1390 KCRC mixtures with RHC or RM on 13740, 11760, 11930 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 7600, Aug 30 at 1321, CNR1 jammer, S5-S7 vs intermittent
RTTY 7597, // 9680 but no highers found.

At least I can DX the 7 MHz band, as we got 2.6 inches of rain! since
0730 UT which washed out the high line noise, probably temporarily;
and now I can hear the weaker lightning crashes. Aoki/NDXC shows 7600
is a Sound of Hope frequency available 23 hours a day, so so is the
jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Aug 28 at 0607 check, NO signal from VON. How can a
major (well at least high-power) world broadcaster be so unreliable?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1490, Aug 30 at 1652 UT and still past 1730, DEAD AIR
form KMFS Guthrie, a tremendous improvement over the usual gospel
huxtering: no one at station may care, or cannot even stand it either
enough to monitor when it break down (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Correxion: The TBN ``14`` call on RF 15 is KTBO, not
KOPX, which is the Ion station. Fixed:

I had not checked OKC DTV stations during the storm, but bandscan Aug
27 at 1817 and 1930 UT finds RF 15 and 16 missing! I.e. TBN 14 and
Daystar 46, nothing but gospel huxters. Both KTBO and KOCM-DT are back
at next check 0450 UT Aug 28, but KOCM signal is Bad, mostly not
decoding (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Tonight [UT Thursday Aug 29] I am getting extremely
strange stuff in Enid on RF ch 17, which I assume is just the local
3ABN transmitter K17JN-D (altho there are signs of tropo on some
other, open channels).

First tuned around 0400 UT Aug 29, re-surveyed after 0500. Around 0430
I snapped a number of photos. EVERYTHING is totally broken up. There
is too much of it to capture for my DTV Pixillated Video Art Gallery!

But here are what I snapped, mostly on different subchannels one after
another, but not keeping track of exactly which be which. Some are
partially recognizable, others pure ART, as also linked from

On the STB PSIP display, DTV 59-1 thru 59-7, similar lineup to what
w9wi.com has for the Amarillo ch 17,
{e.g, K17HI Amarillo
17.1:E:_3Abn
17.2:E:_3Abn Proclaim
17.3:E:Dare to Dream
17.4:S:_3Abn Latino
17.5:E:_3Abn Radio
17.6:S:_3Abn Latino Rad
17.7:E:R. 74}
including some audio only channels such as 59.7 Radio 74 which we also
get on 89.3 KIEL Loyal.

59!!! we have never had an original 59 around here and W9WI.com has
only two stations on it elsewhere.

On my SANYO DTV these display as 17- whatever and keep going to 8, 10,
11, 13, 61, 71, 75, 111, 122, 133, 201 and finally 202, as I keep
changing channel upward, none of these having been programmed in. Some
are labeled AUDIO ONLY, which I think I have never seen before on OTA
DTV. Some are UNSUPPORTED AUDIO CODEC. 17-8 has glimpses of Russian
text, NADEZHDA bug. All are breaking up video and/or audio, even tho
the STB signal meter is strong, not steady but fluxuating, still well
into the Good range.

Here is the lineup as best I can determine:

59-1 thru 59-7 display as such only on the STB, none higher like on
the Sanyo as 17-1 thru 202

UAC = unsupported audio codec error message mid-screen

Recheck around 1500 UT, same things. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Thanks,

Same thing happening following days, still morning of Aug 30 (gh)

Glenn, The info you refer to (channel lineup) is from the Galaxy 19 Ku
satellite (transponder 11842 H). See attached jpeg. The 3ABN feeds are
on the same satellite.
https://www.lyngsat.com/Galaxy-19.html
(Scroll down to 11842 H and you will see the list)

So this has to be coming from one of your local LD's or DTV repeater
stations that are sending out that satellite MUX. IF they are not
supposed to be doing that, then someone obviously changed something in
their satellite receiver from what you have been familiar seeing.

You can always send an email to the owner...?

(Jim Thomas, Springfield, Missouri, ibid.)

I believe Jim's analysis is spot on. Someone made a mistake and is
trying to stuff the 35 or 40 Mbps DVB-S satellite transponder through
the 19 Mbps OTA transmitter, which is causing your awful breakup and
the long and somewhat incoherent-seeming list of channels. I don't
know quite why it's mapping to 59-x, that's weird, but the rest of it
makes perfect sense.(- Trip Ericson, http://www.rabbitears.info Aug
29, ibid.)

I am not going to try to contact them, rather monitor how long this
monstrosity continue, as there is no programming I wish to receive in
the clear, nor likely any Enidian, as there has been zero local
publicity that this thing even exist (gh, DXLD)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15205.108, Aug 29 at 1742, Qur`an at S7-S8. Riyadh
scheduled 16-18, 500 kW at 320 degrees supposedly not beyond W Europe
CIRAF 27-28 but also USward.

11820.045, Aug 29 at 1801, Arabic talk but will soon be Qur`aning

2100:01 on WRMI 9955, JIP as ``---with World of Radio 1996``, after IS
& ID loop from at least 2058. Simultaneous WBCQ 7490+ is a JBA carrier
in HLNL, but at 2124 check of webcast, NOT WOR, but a religious
program `Lifeline`. However, at 2131 WOR starts instead of Goddess
Irina. Meanwhile I have inquired of the boardops if this be a
permanent change? No, Robert says it`s a timing issue, back to normal
next week. [WORLD OF RADIO 1997]

Also confirmed UT Thu Aug 29 at 0100 on WRMI 7780 --- as usual VP
here, but this time I check UTwente SDR and find a VG signal! As it is

** U S A. 5800, Aug 28 at 0610, trace of music, could be // 9395, not
5950; the strange WRMI ``test frequency`` they hope to keep on the air
even if all the other transmitters have to close down during high
winds from Dorian, even power outage.

This further raises the question, is 5800 really somewhere else than
Okeechobee? Like maybe the abandoned 9955 site Hialeah? WRMI has been
very mum about this; altho in Jeff`s HFCC 100 kW at Okeechobee is also
claimed for 5800 since ``RMI`` means Okeechobee, only; but would not
be the only imaginary info in HFCC. Ivo still employs the obsolete
site abbr. YFR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, Aug 30 at 0407, WTWW-1 on the air with day frequency
at night, no 5830; here it`s holding up at S9/+20 with hateful SFAW,
referring to ``Governor Chickenlooper down in Colorado``. Wonder if
this be more recent than by defunct PPPP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1520, Aug 28 at 0618 UT, stupid sports talk vs KOKC,
especially when nulled, but making fast SAH. In past this has proven
to be KOLM Rochester MN, must be on 10 kW day power rather than 800
watts night U8. KOKC has hobbled itself by refusing to fix its
tornado-damaged antenna, staying with STA of 10 or 12 kW ND, rather
than 50/50 kW U2 as it is still licensed, per new NRC AM Log, which
does not get into STAs no matter how non-temporary (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10125-LSB, Aug 30 at 1334, INTRUDER, 2-way lots of
laughter, sorta Spanish, maybe Tagalog; within what is supposed to be
a strictly non-phone ``30m`` hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13572.75, Aug 30 at 1340, Spanish 2-way INTRUDERS, about
putas and whistling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15283.0, Aug 29 at 1440, S6-S4 carrier with flutter,
maybe trace of music? Same time as much stronger 15300 carrier,
probably unrelated, and no match on 15317 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15300, Aug 29 at 1438, S9-S7 open carrier with Doppler
flutter; intriguing. HFCC has nothing ever scheduled on 15300 except
RFI elsewhen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 2115 UT August 30

** CUBA. 13700, Aug 27 at 1346, RHC is S9+10 but just barely
modulated, while 13740 is nominal, S9 to S9+10. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Fulfilling dire warnings all day, a major storm
hit the OKC area (but not Enid!), the evening of Aug 26, early UT
August 27, resulting in the major TV stations blowing away their
entire primetime schedules for wall-to-wall coverage. Mike Morgan on
KFOR even called it an ``inland hurricane`` since winds were up to 80
mph. Caused a lot of damage, with hail, flooding, many power lines
down; up to 85 kilocustomers blacked out at peak per OG&E
Systemwatch.

Not until 0542 UT do I start checking whether any radio stations are
affected, and some are, even in the Enid area:

1520, Aug 27 at 0542 UT, KOKC is dead air, still so at 0554; I can`t
hear its FM translator on 95.3 either, whether off or dead air as it`s
marginal anyway.

1640, Aug 27 at 0545 UT, KZLS ``Enid`` (Hennessey) is dead air, maybe
because it`s programmed out of OKC. Still at 0554;

however at 0552 I nulled its carrier as much as possible to hear
another station with music. Normally it`s WTNI Biloxi MS, reported in
MW Circle as ex-sports:

``** U S A. 1640 WTNI [Biloxi MS] --- Yesterday I moved my antenna
from its summer position (about 270 degrees) to the winter one (about
300). LA has been a dead loss from here this year although to be fair
I have been away a great deal.

I was rewarded with good reception today after months of very little
(conditions I think rather than the antenna move working a miracle).
It's probably been reported elsewhere but I noted that 1640 WTNI seems
to have abandoned sport. ID noted as "This is Classic Country 103.5
The Possum". Also 1680 KRJO noted with "99.7 My FM" [Monroe LA]
(Paul Crankshaw, Aug 21, MWCircle yg via DXLD)

Thanks, Paul. WTNI used to simulcast 1490 WANG sport "The Champ". The
change of 1490 WANG to "103.5 The Possum" and country format was
reported in March in MWN. However at that time 1640 WTNI retained the
sport format. Neither NRC nor IRCA have subsequently reported that
1640 WTNI has now rejoined 1490, ditching the sport format for
country. Wikipedia says that this change occurred in June 2019, but I
can't find independent confirmation.

KRJO's slogan "99.7 My FM" appears also not to have been reported by
NRC or IRCA. The format change to Adult Contemporary was noted in
March 2019, although the format, slogan and repeater 99.7FM addition
all date from 2016 according to RadioInsight
https://radioinsight.com/headlines/107211/99-7-myfm-debuts-in-monroe/
73 (/Andrew Brade, ibid.)

Hello Andrew and Paul, 1680 KRJO noted by my addition to last year`s
NRC log and in 2019/20 log. 1640 WTNI still shown as ESPN in 2019/20
NRC Log and now amended. Best wishes & 73s (Barry :-) Carlisle UK.
Lat. 55.0119N, Lon. 2.9668W, Davies, ibid.)``

1000, Aug 27 at 0550, KTOK OKC is still on but audio breaks up; by
0616 dead air.

Other OKC AM signals seem nominal at 0550+, 930, 800 and 640.

Then I check FM from 0554 Aug 27:
88.3, K202BY Enid is dead air instead of Family Radio. It doesn`t take
a storm for this one to fail, again & again. Still dead all day
105.5, K288FX North Enid is dead air at 0602 instead of relay KYLV
88.9; resumed by 0500 UT Aug 28, gospel rock and K-Love 88.9 OKC ID

In OKC area, major FMs are still on, EXCEPT
93.3, KJKE Newcastle, not heard at first, but then at 0554 weakly;
QRP? from 100 kW? Or possibly storm interfered with propagation
98.1, WWLS-FM The Village is definitely off at 0555, still off at
1313, and 1600 UT; still off or QRP? at 0500 Aug 28
98.9, KYIS OKC, definitely off at 0555, still off at 1313 but on by
1600
100.5, KATT-FM, definitely off at 0555, still off at 1600; but 1619 on
caradio, OKC area ads, so suspect it`s also QRP
100.5, KTFR, Chelsea OK, 25/25 kW, 92m, is presumably the Spanish I
hear briefly overcoming weakened KATT, Aug 27 at 1615 UT on caradio;
Chelsea is in NE corner of OK on Hwy 66 between Claremore and Vinita
103.5, KVSP Anadarko, 100/100 kW, 600m rimshotter into OKC market, is
dead air at 1613 UT, but rock at 1622.

I had not checked OKC DTV stations during the storm, but bandscan Aug
27 at 1817 and 1930 UT finds RF 15 and 16 missing! I.e. TBN 14 and
Daystar 46, nothing but gospel huxters. Both KOPX and KOCM-DT are back
at next check 0450 UT Aug 28, but KOCM signal is Bad, mostly not
decoding (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 100.9, Aug 27 at 0558 UT I notice that the new K265FL
Enid translator of KGWA 960 is displaying on RDS as KGWA-FM! Is there
no rule against imaginary callsigns on RDS? And still no stereo
pilot, altho I have not checked during the detestable Sean Hannity,
whenever he`s on (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1580, Aug 27 at 0546 UT, emergency sounder and warning from
NWS Tulsa about storms in NW Arkansas, also loops E/W and not // 1020
KOKP; so this must be KHGG Vam Burem AR again, rather than KOKB
Blackwell OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1996 monitoring: turned on UTWente
SDR and tuned in 7290, Monday August 26 at 1814 to hear me already
halfway thru WOR at the YHWH item! But 1815 cut to Aïda theme, 1816.5
re-start WOR 1996. Usual very strong and loud signal, modulation just
below the distortion threshold, from IRRS via ROMANIA, but with some
deep selective fading distortion. This can be considerably reduced by
LSB or USB tuning, or even better, synch.

Also confirmed UT Tue Aug 27 at 0127 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, poor in
HLNL. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE

** U S A. 15550-USB, Aug 26 at 2112, WJHR gospel-huxter still
reactive; tho very poor level, would you believe he`s stronger with 1
kW PEP than biggies 15825 WWCR; and 15610 WEWN inaudible (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1130, Aug 26 at 1915 UT on caradio I notice that KLEY, 250
watts in Wellington KS, is back on the air, the first time noticed
since at least May 3. I haven`t checked for it every day but I`m sure
it hasn`t been for more than a week. 1929 ID as ``The Wave 100.3`` as
they have kept the ``translator`` of a silent AM station on the air as
I confirmed that at local range July 10. I`ll bet 1130 is gone again
before long, but it`s still JBA Aug 27 at 1943 UT vs HLNL (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 92.9 WBFM, Aug 26 at 1959 UT, Spanish music, unusual to hear
on this channel; 2002 ID as ``La Mexicana`` on 92.9 and 101.5, with
calls which are: 92.9 KMML Cimarrón KS, 32/32 kW, 186.0 m. 101.5 KSMM
its Liberal KS relay, 100 kW. Cimarrón is between Dodge and Garden
Cities on US 50/400, 274 km = 170 miles from here. I have heard KSMM
before when it was substituting for another Spanish absent, KOCD
Okeene OK nearby --- not still silent as still shown in WTFDA DB.
There is still a bit of tropo boost in the afternoon (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Aug 26 at 1500 UT, Hepburn map predicted level 4 high tropo
enhancement around here, more than maps have shown in a long time, but
very little DTV DX to be seen; just Bad signals on RF 20 and 34,
probably Tulsans. 24 hours later as much or more allegedly into Kansas
but I don`t have a chance to bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

UNIDENTIFIED. 9538.3-USB, Aug 27 at 1940, 2-way INTRUDER in Spanish
JBA very intermittent, ``cambio`` = over, literally ``change``, copied
at least (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 0518 UT Aug 28

** CANADA. 6754-USB, Aug 26 at 0533, Trenton Military, with weather
for Thule as ``temperature 4 at 0456`` --- wow, how hot for 76.5
degrees north in the ``night``, as Greenland continues melting. Don`t
recall hearing CHR mention Thule before, but must show occasionally in
rotation. Some others are ``no report received`` as they never receive
all reports. I suppose there are no commercial flights ultimately
landing at Thule, other than emergencies as it`s right along some
nearly trans-polar routes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 9215, Aug 26 at 1443, JBA Chinese? on a *jammed Sound of
Hope frequency; nothing else WOOB found in the 9s, 10s or 11s (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11670, Aug 26 at 0121, S8/S9+10 of dead air; while 11700,
11760 and 11850 are S9+10/20 with good modulation except 11700
suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13660, Aug 26 at 1401, JBA music enough to match to RHC on
13700 & 13740 which are S9+20 and S9+30 respectively during `Sonido
Cubano`. So this is a leapfrog mixing product 40 kHz down (but no
match on 13780 40 kHz up), or if you insist, third-order
intermodulaton. By 1437 recheck, 13740 is off and so is 13660.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 11610, Aug 25 at 2201, S4-S6 of dead air;
must be MWV not turned off after 21-22 Chinese hour to Europe.
Transmitter not needed for next broadcast, 22-23 on 11790 Chinese to
Europe, or 11965 Chinese to China? Not recalling those frequencies, I
do not check them.

(At 0119 Aug 26 I notice an S6-S8 JBM signal on 11610, wondering

** U S A. 10100, Aug 26 at 0328, JBA carrier, presumably second
harmonic of 5050 WWRB TN, which Paul Walker, WY, had just reported
with a much stronger signal. I had not heard this for over a year;
possible only during the limited UT Sun & Mon activity of WWRB, and
not in the B-seasons when on 90m instead. Then it would be worth
checking for 2 x 3185, 3195 or 3215, whichever in use, on 6370, 6390
or 6430. Whenever such a WOOB mystery arise, first thing to try is
dividing by two (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 780, UT Mon Aug 26 at 0142 UT, `StarDate` just ending on
WBBM Chicago --- probably reliably at 0140, also UT Sun? Our Okie
affils KUCO & KWOU skip it on weekends (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 760, Aug 26 at 0150 UT, WJR is nulled as I am trying to ID
the Spanish LAH on the minus side, but more signal is coming from
something in English with ``Place for Mom`` national ad but then Glen
Beck plugging his show ``tomorrow at 7 am on Freedom 93-7, Real News,
Real Talk``. That`s now the branding of KDSP Thornton CO = Denver
market, U4 50/1 kW, obviously a flip from NBC Sports as of a year ago.
0159 UT ad with 303 areacode, 0200 Fox ``news`` sounder. I wonder if
KDSP employ digital signal processing?? Rather the call was likely
denoting ``Denver SPorts``. Now, FCC AM Query shows it`s KDFD as in
``Denver FreeDom``, since 6/25/2019. Official LSS in Aug is 0200 UT;
September 0115 UT.

As for 93.7, it`s a mere 99-watt translator in Lakewood, K229BS
[apropos call!], wagging the 760 dog; WTFDA DB still shows it
originating with ``KDSP`` 760 but does have the new slogan ``Freedom
93.7`` [sic, with a point] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 760-, Aug 26 at 0143 UT, WJR Detroit in Michigan
talkshow suffers from a low audible het on the minus side. I pull some
Mexmx by nulling WJR, i.e. NW/SE, but it`s hard to tell where this QRM
peak, as there is more QRM from Colorado really from the NW [see USA
log]. At 0156 an SHVA in Spanish but can`t copy any ID. In the NRC AM
Log 2018, the only USSSes on 760 are two Floridians, both on at night
but with wrong formats: WLCC Brandon 1 kW religious, and WEFL Tequesta
1 sesquikW ESPND; even less likely two Radios Progreso in Cuba.

Could it be Mexican? The most clockwise is on the AZ border, XENY
Nogales, Sonora. Was slightly off-minus, 29 months ago per mwoffsets:
``759.9898 MEX XENY-AM Radio Xeny (Nogales) 2017-03-25``
i.e. -10.2 Hz which unseems quite enough for the LAH I hear. While WJR
itself was only 0.2 Hz high as of a dekamonth ago. IRCA Mexican Log
last year shows XENY 5000/100 watts with music formats, but no mention
of offfrequenciness. Perhaps someone closer can confirm its exact
frequency (and existence) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11855.77V, Saturday August 24 at 2215 tune-in, during the
DX program on R. Aparecida, `Encontro DX`. Immediately mentions the
station a few times, but made up of several segments with very
different voices. 2217 it`s a report by a slow talker from the DX
Clube do Brasil about the futuro das ondas curtas. There is slight
pulse jamming bleed from Cuba on 11860 until I switch to LSB tuning.
2221, report from Paraíba by Amaral(?), fast talker, full schedule of
RAE relays via Okeechobee very rapidly, but I heard one incorrect
frequency, 9455. 2225 Daniel Camporini mentioned, Argentine DXer. By
2229 has drifted down to 11855.73 or so and show is not over: now a
RAE guy is speaking Spanish with a porteño accent, about how many LRA
stations there are around the country. 2233 mentions DX Clube sem
Fronteiras, outro this show ``Encontro DX na Rádio Aparecida, nos
sábados``, finally ends at 2235, then some whistling.

The 11855+ signal rated S6, fades to S3; I then compare it to RNA on
11780: S8-S5, so ZYE954 is providing a respectable signal considering
the 250:1 kW power differential --- or is one a bit less, the other a
bit more? I have to look this up in a previous WRTH since the 2019
had deleted all four Aparecida SW frequencies! Finally I check the
other one propagating at 2238, 9630.4 as it too is always
off-frequency, rating S4 vs local high noise level.

It`s great that a Brasilian station allows such a DX program to exist.
As in DXLD 19-33, a certificate is being issued for reception reports,

Sound of Hope is the clandestine radio mouthpiece of the Falun Gong,

** MEXICO. 650, Aug 23 at 1200, Radio 65 ID mentioning elevation of
its antenna, presumably referring to FM where that matters. WTFDA FM
Database shows XHTNT-FM on 100.5 from Los Mochis, Sinaloa, 10/10 kW at
a height AAT of 185.76 metres --- which is nothing special, but
admittedly higher than anything else in Los Mochis, and in fact
exactly the same as for 104.3 XHREV-FM; hmm, and exactly same
coördinates, which tell us something. XHTNT used to be on 106.5,
commensurate with its AM slogan which they are still using and
transmitting.

Unfortunately awake this early, I had been tuning SRS Mexicans for a
semihour and hearing most of the usuals below 800 kHz, altho the more
easterly ones were fading out circa 1140. Enid LSR 1156 UT, and XETNT
now about to outfade (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Another look at that new electronic billboard at the NE
corner of Garriott and Garland in Enid owned by Williams Broadcasting,
the afternoon of Aug 23: amid many local advertisers it flashes that
Rush will be on FM in Enid ``in a matter of days``, same as Sean, but
the latter will also be in $ tereo --- hot crap!!

These teasers have not bothered to mention the frequency or station,
but we knew it would be activating the CP for ``fully loony`` K265FL
translator of 960 KGWA on 100.9. In fact, it was within a matter of
*hours*, since next check circa 0000 UT Aug 24 found new local bigsig
with Fox ``news``. Recheck at 1358 UT, 100.9 still on with the
absurdly-accented Sebastian Gorka concluding an hour of his `America
First` show on the Salem Radio Network (featuring witch-hunts). So I`m
listening carefully for the new ID: NO, 1400 UT ToH ID on 100.9 ONLY
for KGWA AM, into Fox ``news``. Off to a great start!

BTW, the power consumption of full-size electronic billboards must be
huge with all those LEDs bright enough in full sunlight.

Far-right extremist talk stations often default to less- or even
non-political talk shows to fill time on weekends; such as here on
Saturday circa 1735 UT it`s about travel. And guess what, *no* stereo
pilot. Do they turn it on only for Sean, or is that fake news? Most
stations would not want to bother with turning stereo on and off.

Back before K265FL activated, Aug 23 at 1839 UT on the caradio I kept
on 100.9 for one last chance to hear anything else there; various
marginal signals fading back and forth, but at 1849 UT, ad for
Keystone Chevy in Sand Springs, ergo KTSO, Sapulpa, both Tulsa
suburbs, 19/19 kW at 114 m HAAT, per WTFDA DB, ``80'S HITS --- TOTALLY
AWESOME 80'S``. There are other lower Okies on 100.9 in Edmond,
Chickashay, Shawnee and Miamuh. There are three in Kansas, a 96.9 watt
LP in Wichita, 35.5 kW in Clay Center, and 100 kW in Lakin (which IIRC
was far enough away from Wichita to have another NTSC channel 3).

It`s a shame that a CP for a new LP in Enid on 100.9 never eventuated;
it would have had some public-service remit with one of its backers
Enid and Garfield County Emergency Management Director, Mike
Honigsberg. So KGWA glommed onto the frequency which will surely
attain inferior coverage to its 1 kW on 960. But we all know AM radio
is *so* passé.

Is the translator on one of their AM towers at the NW corner of Enid?
NO, FCC info shows it at the NE corner of Grand and Randolph in
downtown Enid, certainly better for city-wide coverage. K265FL antenna
is atop the former First National Bank building of seven stories, now
``One Grand Center`` of Wymer-Brownlee, photoed the next day:
http://www.w4uvh.net/K265FL.jpg
as a 2-element thing. This is a block NNW of the white-elephant vacant
and locked-up ten-story Broadway Tower which now accomplishes nothing
except serving as a somewhat higher antenna base for some other
lower-powered FMs, not including ex-104.7 KUAL/KEIF-LP The Rocket,
which got caught with too much antenna height as a result (and too
commercial). From another angle, the much higher antenna mast on BWT
behind it, eclipses the closer and lower K265FL one.

In its heyday, the BW Tower contained the office of my uncle, a lawyer
and later respected judge. A few years ago, somecompany tried to
refurbish offices into hotel suites, apparently busted. Meanwhile, a brand
new downtown hotel is going up less than two blox away (Glenn Hauser,

13348-USB, Aug 24 at 1433, another flight contact by OM op with
selcals, also New York? This frequency not listed by EiBi for
anywhere, so I search the UDXF iog: incredibly, no logs since November
2014, by the once-prolific Al Stern at Satellite Beach FL, as New York
LDOC, whatever that mean; reactivated?

Meanwhile, Andy Robins, Kalamazoo, replies to my previous 13306 log:

``Glenn: Selcal codes are assigned to particular aircraft. The same
code can be assigned to different aircraft, although I believe the
ICAO suggests that planes sharing a code not operate in the same area.
For example, an airliner flying routinely in the North Atlantic MWARA
and another with the same selcal in the Indian Ocean aren't likely to
be getting calls intended for the other aircraft. When I was heavily
into HF aeronautical listening in the late 1990's, there were fat
books of selcal codes that DXers used to figure out the "tail number"
(registration) of the aircraft they heard. 73``

** U S A. 9330, unlike last Friday, WBCQ Superstation is not running
in the afternoon altho AW had twitted that he would be on 9330 plus
the other four this evening. On my noisy-by-the-computer/TVs ATS-909,
no sign of a signal even after 0000 UT Aug 24, unlike the SS which had
no problem overcoming. On webcast, AW launches right into political
vehemence, so I`m not listening except for occasional spotchex during
the hour.

However, just before, from 2354 Aug 23, I checked out all the SW
frequencies: 9330 detectable at only S7-S9, off-frequency a dead
giveaway it`s the Classic transmitter not the SS. Measured on about
9330.04V. Much stronger at S9+20 is 7490.17; someone even wondered if
the SS were on there --- but not if it`s inexact. 6159.97, S7-S9 but
ACI from 6165 much stronger RHC even tho it`s undermodulated as usual.
5130.38 is S9+10 but struggles against noise level; 3264.9 a JBA
carrier as usual at best here. Rehear last few minutes as usual
running past 0100 until finishes at 0103:35.

John Carver reports: ``Tonight's show started on time. Listening on
7490 this evening. Tried 9330 and they're not using the new

copy it here. Allan bemoaning that the world is full of idiots. Rant
about the perception of climate change. First phone call at 0012 from
Bill Smith who is now out of prison and in a halfway house.

After phone call Allan states that the work on the new transmitter and
antenna is coming along nicely but no dates given for completion. The
discussion on climate change continued after that. Talk of many ways
of creating energy that will be used at a future time. Discussion
became a little more political as Allan expressed his disgust with the
number of people wanting to be supported by the government and not
having to work. Reading of emails at 0051. Program was off the air at

** U S A. 1560, Aug 24 at 0556 UT, KGOW Houston Vietnamese nulled as

Making SAH of about 144/minute = 2.4 Hz. Local weather by YL but can`t
catch any clues (some weather forecasts assume everybody listening
knows it`s local!); 0558 UT ``Odd Couple`` seems show name, one of
them being Rod Pearson? or something like that. No local ID caught but
``Fox Sports Radio`` and at 0600 UT into scores of stupid ballgames.

Meanwhile I got this suggestion: ``(just a wild guess here) your 1560
beating with KGOW might have been Paducah in rogue-daytime mode.
Again, that's just a wild guess based upon absolutely nothing. And, re
the semi-colon; I completely agree. Always 73z. -- GREG HARDISON``

By Greg, I think he`s got it. WPAD, KY from the east, is indeed a Fox
Sports affil, supposedly U1, 1000/35 watts. One might have guessed my
nearest 1560, KEBC Del City OK, also sports, but listed in last year`s

UNIDENTIFIED. 2900, Aug 23 at 0554 UT, JBA carrier. Checking out Kevin

``WREL 1450 2nd harmonic --- Turn to 2900 to hear WREL 2nd Harmonic on

``1450 August 11 at 1530, WREL Lexington VA, ID "Sports radio for
Rockbridge County 1450 WREL" (Larry Will-WV)``.

Of the hundreds of stations on 1450, several others could be
harmonicizing; what`s remarkable is that how few US MW stations
axually radiate on doubles and triples beyond local range. Also I am
surprised even to detect some JBA carrier, with summer storm noise
more of an obstacle than my high local line noise at this part of
