** CANADA. 93.5-WBFM, June 19 at 0148 & 0153 UT, a few words of French
Canadian overcome briefly the Kansan; checking sporadic E in the car
after seeing a spike above 100 MHz on the DX Map, to my NNW. Has to be
Canadian, and only two SRC possibilities, not the QC ones:

CBKF-FM-3 relays CBKF-FM 97.7 on 93.5 from ZENON PARK SK, 1.34 kW
ERP H&V, 122.0 m HAAT, 53-01-02 103-43-36 French VARIETY ICI
RADIO-CANADA PREMIERE

CKSB-7-FM relays CKSB-1050 on 93.5 from KENORA ON 20.0 kW ERP, 100.0 m
HAAT, 49-46-06 94-30-17 French NEWS/TALK ICI RADIO-CANADA PREMIERE

Per the WTFDA FM Database; how can one format be Variety and the other
News/Talk since they are the same network? Position of the MUF blob
suggests SK more likely, and certainly weak enough, Kenora also a good
skip distance not too far off the bearing; nor can I DF it on the
caradio vertical antenna. Distances: 1909 km = 1186 stmi from ZP SK,
which is about halfway between Prince Albert and the *town* of Hudson
Bay SK in the east-central; 1542 km = 958 stmi from Kenora in SW ON by
Lake of the Woods. ZP is really a tiny town of a couple hundred; its
History page does not explain where the name come from nor how it
differ from Xenon:

Now #91 via http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html

With this message:
``Dear Mr. Glenn Hauser, My name is Konstantin Barsenkov, I am 45
years old, I was born and live in St. Petersburg, Russia. More than 25
years ago, one of my favourite hobbies was DX-ing (shortwave
monitoring). In the 90s there was no Internet, letters were long, and
international correspondence was quite expensive for a student.
About four years ago I decided to try it again. And now I'm passionate
about this hobby again. I still use my old Soviet military analog tube
receiver R-250M2 (it's probably older than me and it weighs 90 kg!)
with a long wire outdoor antenna.

Today I was pleasantly surprised to hear my name in your program World
of Radio. Earlier my message was published in the Anatoly Klepov's
bulletin Russ-DX Plus#858 and it was about Chinese jumming of Sound of
Hope.

Actually, I don't know if you send any QSL, but I'll be very
appreciated for your confirmation of the current reception report
(perhaps letter or any picture by email) and thanks in advance!``

Very nice, but please note WOR as a program does not offer QSLs,
leaving that to stations; only WRMI has a WOR-design QSL for reports
sent to them of receptions on WRMI only. I forwarded his report (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

much weaker ones slightly lower. First time I`ve heard him on 10m, but
numerous times on 13565 with 1.8 milliwatts and no /suffix.

Tracy is further up I-5 toward Stockton, from Patterson, the 13565

From 1808 I was trying to copy some JBA beacons on 28299 and one just
slightly lower above 28298. At 1828 I almost got the higher one: VVV

It takes me a lot longer to research the info and write these reports.
Main resource is the WTFDA FM Database. See its headers for what the
various parameters mean: separate H&V kW ERPs and metric HAAT towers
altho they are almost always the same. Distancefromto.net are
city-to-city approx., not to coordinates.

2114, 93.1, CCI to weak Kansan might be DX and so it is, atop now with
ID ``93.1 WZAK, Cleveland`` R&B, ads:

2130, 96.7, unID local weather, too cool for OK!

It must be 90+F here; then I go inside where it`s a little cooler and
more comfortable, with the DX-398 whose telescopic I can manœvre vs
lots of ACI and CCI from KS and OK.

2149, 97.3, ad for something on Rt 13 between Ithaca and Dryden; 2150
mention Ithaca again; 2218, adstring including Airhard (Erhard?)
Energy.com, something in Newfield; JonRayhomes.com,
fingerlakestopten.com; Democratic DA candidate in Tompkins Country;
Finger Lakes forecast: 54/86 and next day 61/86 F, from ``WENY News on
97.3``. What?? WENY-FM is on 97.7 in Big Flats NY! O, they refer to
WENY, the unrelated(?) *TV* station in Elmira. The other clues all
lead to Ithaca, i.e:

``WYXL 97.3 ITHACA NY USA 26.0 26.0 268.0 268.0 42-27-54 76-22-23 HD

2153, 104.5 rap in Spanish, but signal is too steady and there are no
known SS in the PTA, just three translators in far New England. Rather
than a DX capture I guess it was really our semi-local, since it then
went into English promo for KZZW 104.5, ``we deliver the hits``,
English rock but there is CCI from something else in English.
Would be second EE Okie I`ve heard mixing in SS songs, after Oasis.

2201, ``Hottest music in the Tri-State Area, KZZW, 104.5,
Mooreland-Woodward``, OK. NYC/CT/NJ may think they own that monicker,
but there are 3-states everywhere, in this case OK/TX/KS. I remember
when this station came on air a few years ago, initially stunting with
classical, sure not to last.

with KRAV Tulsa fringer which is Mix 96.5, but we never heard of
Dollar Bank in OK. Search indicates it operates only in OH, PA, VA.

There are too many iHeart stations everywhere, but Wikipedia shows no
96.5s in PA, NY; there is one in Cleveland OH, WAKS, branded as KISS
FM, so maybe that`s it. 1508 km = 937 stmi

Searching everywhere for slogan as Mix 96.5 on 96.5, gets 5 hits, not
including KRAV-FM Tulsa, none in this opening`s PTA. That`s because
the Slogan field for KRAV shows merely Mix 96, altho 96.5 does appear
as part of PS Info and Radiotext fields. 171 km = 106 stmi

2210, 93.3, Roswell Park Cancer hospital ad; 2212 Litehouseauto.com,

of East Syracuse. RDS captured on this one: static 93Q plus 5 blank
spaces, nor sure if sent that way or incomplete; more ads, Plato`s
Closet; PSAs alz.org-cny, Boys` & Girls` Club of Syracuse. Therefore:

So the power is 110 kw ERP, rather than the usual limit of 100, why?

Now the opening seems fading away; I hope so as this is tiring and I
need a break. But at 0040-0050 UT June 18, I`m back at the dials as
there is a 100+ MHz MUF blob to the north, so maybe Manitoba? Nothing.

UNIDENTIFIED. 92.1, June 17 at 2104 UT as I am starting a sporadic E

Spanish music lasting maybe 3 seconds.

96.5, June 17 at 2136 UT another bit of Spanish bursts in to the
caradio, Mexicans likely. These are surprising, as we are nowhere near
any Class I, II or III meteor showers per 2020! info at:

** AUSTRIA [and non]. 5930v, June 17 at 0030, LAH from two signals,
about 40 Hz either side of 5930.000, one of them talk in unID
language; helped by absence of WWCR-3 from 5935 until carrier on at
*0036, and deadly Gene Scott modulation cut on at 0041. After that to
avoid splash, LSB tuning preferred. 0105 recheck, only one very weak
signal circa 5930. EiBi and Aoki/NDXC agree that the only thing on
5930 is BBC Dari via Moosbrunn at 0030, but supposed to continue at
0100 in Pashto. Is the Moosbrunn site now subjected to
offfrequenciness or other problems? Or could transmissions have been
shifted to another site more capable of inaccuracy, such as UAE? As of
16 June, HFCC still shows Austria, 300 kW at 95 degrees (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 413-MCW kHz, June 16 at 0620 UT, dash and YHD, 250 watt NDB
at Dryden, Ontario; presumably what I copied as YHM.

Lake, Ontario. Storm noise level not bad tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK,

14500, June 16 at 1435, S5-S7 of open carrier, suspected another of
these as it is on the Aoki/NDXC roster of *jammed SOH frequencies
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13572, 13636; 13764, 13829 approx., June 16 at 1344 and still
1436, extremely distorted spurblobs out of 13700-AM RHC; the inner
ones much stronger than the outers; with F# tone. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 7390, June 16 at 0526, RFI French with self-imposed beepery
QRM, instead of upon an Algerian relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Storm noise level not bad tonight; also got a couple from CANADA, q.v.

``Chris is a Broadcast engineer and has tweaked the knobs on many
broadcast transmitters. He enjoys building, tinkering, and playing
with all sorts of RF gear, antennas, and computers. Loves Dxing,
working the low bands and frequents 160 meters. During the latest
solar Cycle, Chris managed to fill in a few remaining blanks and
completed the ARRL Five band DXCC award 80 through 10 meters! The
transmitter photo is one of the original transmitters used at KDKA
through the early 1970's along with a few other pics from the KDKA
archives shown below. Scroll down the page to see various photos from
around the WA3PBL ham shack along with a few pics of the antenna farm.
The main 160/80 meter transmit antenna consists of a 3- wire shunt fed
