** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey WOOB, Sept 4 at 1425: only JBA carriers
on 13160, 11460. K-index at 1500 is 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, Sept 4 at 0444, CRI Cantonese relay is S9+50! but
overmodulated/distorted compensating for dead air the last time I
checked it. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MEXICO. 650, Sept 4 at 1200, Radio 65, XETNT Los Mochis, Sinaloa
starting its morning news show with full ID from Grupo Chávez, fair
signal; and weaker, QRMed 610 XEGS Guasave has just joined in // after
separate music before the hour. Welcoming us to viernes, fin de
semana. But first, some really frantic banda music to wake us up. 1207
down to business with ``avances de información`` = headlines, weather
info, lack of lluvias, 1210 fading out. LSR here was 1206. Good to be
hearing these again.

700, another NW Mexican has not quite faded out by 1200, Spanish
either XEGD Parral, Chihua2 or XEETCH, Etchojoa, Sonora; and signs of
870 XETAR, Guachochi, Chihua2. Need earlier selfarising and/or later
sunrising. Tim Hall`s new IRCA Mexican Log notes that official IFT
info does not include XETNT and XEGD, but were reconfirmed still
active on MW as of last year (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 275-MCW kHz, Sept 4 at 0422 UT, ND beacon GUY, which is
25 watts from Guymon. Strangely enough, believe first time I`ve heard
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 341-MCW kHz, Sept 4 at 0420 UT, ND beacon EI at
Woodring Airport, Enid is dominant on loop aimed E/W, while OIN,
Oberlin KS is JBA but no EI on the shortwire N/S. An earlier obs not
logged found them about equal and timed so alternating nicely (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 780 kHz, Sept 4 at 1135 UT, strong rock music looping
toward Stillwater, i.e. KSPI 250-watt daytimer; 1138 ``It`s Pete`` and
more music. Checking since Tim Hall`s huge Final Report of his Border
Inn NV/UT DXpedition last October included an unID on 780:

``10/26 1116 - "Strong Enough" by Sheryl Crow (successfully identified
by SoundHound app) on ENE wire. Not sure who this would be; a whiny
90s pop tune doesn't fit KAZM's occasional overnight oldies show. It
might fit on KSPI or possibly WPTN, but neither of those stations
should be on at this hour``

I told him, ``780 unID, seems like I have heard KSPI before 7 am CDT,
tho am rarely awake then -- maybe they are coming on at 11 UT = 6 am
CDT. Will try to check. No, I can`t find any FCC record of psra.``

At FCC AM Query I look thru ancient history cards concerning KSPI.

http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=44676

Original CP in August 1946 was for 840, but changed by November to
780. In 1949, a Special Service Authorization to operate from 6 am to
7:30 pm CST --- was denied. In 1950 they tried for dual-frequency
operation, switching to 790 at night with 500 watts direxional, but
that was dismissed. In 1953 applied to move to 1490 unlimited hours,
but later withdrew. On 9-30-69 there was a telegram about a ``PSA`` at
250 watts to protect WBBM. Does that mean pre-sunrise, post-sunset, or
both?? And is that the basis for starting by 6 am now? (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

NEW first airing, UT Friday September 4 at 0130 confirmed on WRMI
5850, VG S9+20/30 and 5010, G S9/+10. Weaker signal but 5010
modulation level sounds slightly higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 730 kHz, Sept 4 at 0426 UT, the unmistakable roarer Brother
Scare with almost-constant plugging of his phone number, slightly
above the QRM level. Compared to 7730 WRMI, 730 is running 21 seconds
behind; still at 0458 recheck in more contact info. No ID breaks are
built-in to the Overcomer feed, but 0459 seems to cut away, maybe
local ID but uncopyable. 0500 Fox `News` but can`t be certain same
station.

TOM website has redesigned its Radio Log starting with SW stations in
table format, but it`s never 100% accurate:

https://overcomerministry.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Radio-Log.pdf

Only 5 AM stations remain at the bottom, no more WCKY but still WWVA;
and two of them are shown for the Sabbath service only, Sat 9-11 am
CDT, including one on 730: KQPN 730 West Memphis AR. But this is
certainly not when I am hearing it. I can`t find a website for itself,
but searching indicates it`s Yahoo Sports Radio, and owned by F. W.
Robberts, i.e. same as WMQM and WWCR! There is streaming link:
https://tunein.com/radio/KQPN-730-s35522/
which confirms at this time it`s not sports at all but 0515 UT with:
Brother Scare! KQPN is U4, 1/1 kW with a non-major lobe thisaway
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1147, 1157, 1173, 1183 kHz, Sept 4 at 0437, heavy IBOC noise
peaks as KSL 1160 SLC and KFAQ 1170 Tulsa fight it out. I daresay
nowhere else among the `clear` channels audible here is there any such
crap remaining (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1370, still no sign of KGNO Dodge City KS. I need a better
excuse to drive all the way to DC to investigate.

Following up: consulting Tim Hall`s Final Report of last October`s
Border Inn NV/UT DXpedition, I see among hundreds of logs including
several on 1370, there is none of KGNO, so I wrote him, ``I was
looking to see whether you got KGNO Dodge City KS, which I suspect of
being secretly off the air.`` Tim replies:

``KGNO was a regular catch at this location until at least 3 or 4
years ago (I don't recall exactly), but I haven't had a trace of them
since, despite the fact that the channel is less crowded after some of
the Mexican stations went off. I also suspect KGNO is off... or maybe
just in extreme disrepair? Same with KLEY-1130, a station whose
travails you have documented in recent years. I think the same can be
said for some of the HPRN stations in Texas/Oklahoma/New Mexico.
[High Plains Radio Network] has been consolidating operations for
several years now, running the same programming on groups of 2 or 3
stations that used to have their own formats and staffs. I've been
especially suspicious of KICA-980 [Clovis NM], which I have never
heard, even on optimal sunset/sunrise dates/times, and even when
KCLV-1240 and KSEL-1450 [Portales NM] have been nightly catches. Also
in last October's recordings, I had no trace of KVOP-1090 [Plainview
TX] at all, and they are usually a bit of a pest on several wires.
HPRN has almost no web presence at this point, just a basic skeleton
of a web site for all of their stations on one page. In contrast to
the general state of HPRN stations, little KTAT-1570 [Frederick OK,
eluding gh] was a nightly catch this year. They didn't put as big a
dent in XERF as little KDDD-800 [Dumas TX] puts in XEROK, but there
were several clear IDs audible in my recordings.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Sept 4 at 1151-1159
UT on the R75 and E-W longwire, so no DFing: 567, 576, 693, 747, 828,
837, 882(2), 1089, 1098, 1107, 1116(2), 1125, 1134, 1161, 1224, 1242,
1278, 1521, 1611 kHz. At this time too much splash from 780 KSPI music
to get 774, but earlier at 1139 on the PL-880 while checking KSPI,
could detect 774 and looping NW = Japan. Enid sunrise today: 1206 UT

KJRB 790 Spokane, WA made the 730 mile trip to Laramie, WY with its 84
watts on Wednesday September 2nd at 931pm mountain with "Rock Me Like a
Hurricane".

Here's the audio and the signal gets pretty good right after the 20 second
mark. Audio:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yTI-hxz3AVUsQX251q4--lDXyHqzQHm-/view?usp=sharing

(per a conversation with the Stephens Media engineer, they filed a form 302
and this is what the night power will be)

KNZZ 1100 Grand Junction, CO usually plasters my radio at night in Laramie,
Wyoming but a few days ago, their signal was so weak, I had a hard time
telling that Joe Pags and his female co host were on the same station and
that allowed WZFG 1100 Dillworth, MN (Fargo) to sneak through.

Here's WZFG from 585 miles away from Wednesday September 2nd at 10:15pm
mountain time with Alex Jones. Audio:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AZAROIgILwY5j2WS-Y2mEZlRqrVjYPhd/view?usp=sharing

KJJK-AM 1020 Fergus Falls, MN 370 Watts/2 towers at 585 miles away from me
in Laramie, WY. Heard Thursday September 3rd at 928pm mountain with
"Supalonely" by Benee ft. Gus Dapperton. .

Audio:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u_SWP2ndFEBemfiE-eb8HyTPQosjwP22/view?usp=sharing

KRPI 1550 Ferndale, WA has been heard here 975 miles away in Laramie, WY
but it's 10kw/2 tower signal is never very good and it never pops in for
very long. But, thankfully their south asian music stick out like a sore
thumb on the radio dial and is pretty obvious.

Here they are from Thursday September 3rd at 1049pm. The music is there,
it's a little rough but it's there.

** CANADA [and non]. 245-MCW kHz, Sept 3 at 0610 UT, dash and YZE, ND
beacon 1000 watts at Gore Bay, Ont., and per dxinfocentre.com ``TO BE
DECOMMISSIONED 2020-09-10``; and mixing with FS, 400 watts at Sioux
Falls - Rock SD, anticipating less QRM.

326-MCW kHz, Sept 3 at 0615 UT, short dash and YQK, 200-watt ND beacon
at Kenora, Ont.; I was tuned to 325-USB

413-MCW kHz, Sept 3 at 0628 UT, dash and YHD, 250-watt ND beacon at
Dryden, Ont. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Sept 3 from 1345: none higher than:
13020 JBA; 12190 JBA carrier; 11460 S5-S7; 11440 JBAC; 11155 JBAC,
else? 11150; 11120 S3-S4; 11100 JBAC; 10960 JBAC; 10920 S2-S3; 10820
S3-S5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9, Sept 3 at 0557 once again no VON (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 20, Sept 3 at 0345 UT a UHF/VHF bandscan prompted by
minor area tropo of levels 3-2-1 between here and OKC, per Bill
Hepburn`s maps does get something: a mostly solid signal on RF 20 into
my still broken antenna, from DTV 42-1 KBZC-LD. A rare glimpse of an
``Enid`` TV station, in Enid! Axually, Enid is only the community of
license, why? while the transmitter site is the NE OKC Antenna Farm
along with all the major TV and many FM stations, just south of the
Kilpatrick Turnpike, per rabbitears.info, 7.2 kW ERP at 328 feet above
ground. Approx. 100 km from Enid. Has 7 channels, all with same PSIP
ID: KBZC-LD. First I survey the content of each channel, then compare
to r-e listings:

42-1, commercials, but is Quest, logo circle-Q in lower right, 0400
reality show Ice Road Truckers
42-2, infomercials, no bug
42-3, BUZZR, bug LR, game shows
42-4, GetTV, bug LR showing part-time
42-5, infomercials, no bug; but at 0400, `Bonanza`, whence??
42-6, infomercials, no bug
42-7, ShopLC - formerly Liquidation Channel
This is one of those DTV America outlets providing a minimum of real
programming, certainly nothing new or informative.

RF 21, at 0358 UT Sept 3, slightly weaker bad signal starts to decode
while a top-of-screen streamer IDs as ch 19, KUOT. Listed as 5
channels of 3ABN stuff, 15 kW ERP from much further, the SE corner of
OKC, near SE 95th and Bryant (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Wed Sept 2 at 2200, VOT cuts on just in time,
allaying fears of yet another no-show, S9+40 as monitored via UTwente.
Usual features; news, press reviews, `This Day in History`, `Did You
Know That?` between music breaks, COVID-19 PSA, but by 2220, yet again
no `Letterbox`, just more great Turkish music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 365-MCW kHz, Sept 3 at 0624 UT, ND beacon AA, which is 100
watts from Fargo - Harwood ND. I was tuned to 363-USB (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2049 monitoring: confirmed Wed Sept
2 from 2100:18.5 on WBCQ 7490.057v, sufficient S7 via Rochester SDR.

Also confirmed UT Thu Sept 3 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA here.

NOT confirmed UT Thu Sept 3 at 0130 on WRMI 5010 & 5850; instead music
continues from RNEI, which is now scheduled at 0100-0200 Thursdays;

WOR has been moved, as I requested, 24 hours later to 0130 UT FRIDAYS
on 5850 and 5010 - which means that will be first SW airing `hot off
the press` minutes after it`s finished produxion, starting with #2050
Sept 4, unless there be some problem holding it up (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Re my WRMI log under CUBA [non], of 5800 in Spanish after
0300 UT Wednesday Sept 2, assumed to be an expansion of R. República
from UT Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon only, I later check the skedgrid now updated
as of Aug 30, showing that hour really occupied by the Argentine media
program La Rosa de Tokio. WS & WOR remain at 0300-0400 UT Tuesdays,
and also a new repeat of `Encore` on UT Thursdays; the other days
remain blank hiding the existence of Radio República. But should R.R.
wish to expand to 7 dpw we`re all gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Sept 3 at 0553, WRMI is S9+10 of dead air instead of
SMTV; which had returned to normal after a couple days of
double-audio; silence in compensation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13093.6, Sept 3 at 1343, 2-way in colloquial Spanish,
one side with very loud ``engine noise``.

10828-USB, Sept 3 at 1350, 2-way in Spanish, both encountered during
CNR1 jammer bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
