** BRAZIL. 11780, July 14 at 0016, RNA is S9+20/30 but suptorted, as I
have previously noted July 11 at 0020. Strange that various other logs
of this make no such observation.

11780, July 15 at 0007, RN S9+10/20 again distorted and somewhat
undermodulated compared to // 6180 S9+10/20 louder and not distorted
but with slight squeal and carrier wobbling vs BFO, during Mexican
music, much stronger than 6185 XEPPM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jamming survey, July 14 at 1340-1348, only JBA or JBA
carriers during depressed propagation conditions: 13160, 11460, 11440,
11120, 10960 best S1-S3, 10920, 10820 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9783-9827, July 14 at 0615, heavy jamming centered on 9805
and spurs out to this 44-kHz range! Burying presumed RFI Hausa via
Issoudun this semihour only. Can the Jamming Command have heard that
and assumed it was Radio Martí? Which Greenville employs 9805 only at
10-13 UT. Such incompetence! Standard remarx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2042 monitoring: I missed checking the Tue

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, July 14 at 1411, WRMI is still on in English with
Spanish accent, ``Free Cuba`` spokesperson talking about Taiwan, so
it`s certainly Freedom Synergy Radio, which is supposedly only on
webcast M-F at 1400 after 9955 closes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, July 14 at 0613, WBCQ-6 is still AWOL, 6 hours after
previous check. What`s wrong? It`s on, in flat-earth English at 0246
July 15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5970, July 15 at 0010 and still 0101, dead air in Spanish
from WEWN; 12050 is off already; English still AWOL from 9385 and
15610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1280, July 14 at 2132 UT, KSOK Arkansas City KS amid music
with slogan ``From Motown to the British Invasion, the place to be is
103-3``. Huh? Am I tuned to wrong frequency? No, 1280 has just become
an unannounced appendage of paltry translator K277CK, which is
*supposed* to be secondary to the primary AM license. WTFDA Database
shows a different slogan, ``The Mixx AM 1280 and K277CK 103.3``. NRC
AM Log of last year showed ``The Mixx 103.3`` with CLR = classic rock
format: does that correlate completely with slogan I heard? Years ago
it was in AM stereo but I can`t tell now; NRC does not show it as $ .
While we`re at it, look at the few more AM stations around here with
at least mostly music format and a decent daytime groundwave signal:

780, KSPI Stillwater OK, rock, ``Pete 94.3``, named for OSU mascot
Pistol Pete, not exactly politically correct altho he`s a Cowboy.
Branded for a translator of course as the real KSPI-FM is separate on
93.9.

860, KKOW Pittsburg KS, C&W/polka, also IDs, secondarily! as 97.5 in
Joplin (MO) --- per WTFDA FM Database, that`s really K248DR, CoL
Warsaw MO, not Joplin. NRC AM Log did not show any FM. The real
KKOW-FM is separate, 96.9 in Pittsburg. Not with an -h.

Wait a minute: Warsaw is nowhere near Joplin, with 250 watts could not
possibly serve that city; Warsaw is 101 miles to the NE, closer to
Sedalia than Springfield, let alone Joplin. FCC FM Query has no such
station in Warsaw, nor that callsign anywhere. It does have a
different 97.5 translator in Joplin, K258BF without saying what it
translates!

But wait another minute: 97.5 is channel 248, not 258, so call as
displayed by FCC, K258BF is wrong. Possibly it was a move-in from
Warsaw? 258 would have been 99.5. Proper new callsigns for translators
changing frequency/city often lag behind the moves. A lot of
tail-wag-the-dog, AM-gotta-be-on-FM translator acquisitions are
accomplished by moving an existing license in from somewhere else
rather than starting from scratch.

900, KSGL Wichita KS, part NOStalgia, part gospel huxterism; it`s
IBOC, but too weak to hear much buzz aside 900 here.

1070, KFTI Wichita KS, C&W, listed by NRC as $ tereo and I know it used
to be; not listed for being significantly off-frequency-minus; as of
last October, mwoffsets had it on 1069.9773 --- no problem in the
daytime here, but at night its LAH is an annoyance to KNX et al.

1600, KUSH Cushing OK, Americana and talk. My favorite among the
bunch. With 5 kW ND daytime, radio-locator shows Enid, OKC and Tulsa
are all just beyond the distant contour but well within the fringe.

Everything else on daytime MW here is talk of some sort in English or
Spanish. I am not aware of any ``liberal`` or ``progressive``
stations. Gospel huxters of course may include some religious music
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11800, July 14 at 0015, RHC is S9+10 but JBM, even less so
the JBA parasites on 11790 & 11810. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11630 approx., July 14 at 0018, S9+10 spurblob from 11670 RHC, no
program modulation but in AM mode, not FM, same tone as in background
on 11670 which is S9+10/20 and suptorted, this time closer to F
natural than F#. But no match circa +40 at 11710, nor multiples of 40
either side. Recently had some of those about x39 kHz from 11670.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.5, July 13 at 1930 UT on caradio, a signal on normally
vacant 89.5; promo for CSN and 1-800-327-4226? Into Allen Jackson
Ministries. MUF was not quite into FM when I left, but maybe it is
now? Soon fades out completely, as if it had been Es. CSN has
stations, mostly translators, all over out of HQ in of all places,
Twin Falls, Idaho. WTFDA Database shows ten on 89.5, all translators
or rather satellators, except for this full power one, which strangely
enough is not shown relaying KAWZ like all the others:

``KJCC 89.5 CARNEGIE OK 23.5 kW H&V, 118.8 m HAAT, 35-21-17 98-13-58
RELIGIOUS TEACHING CSN INTERNATIONAL``

That reminds me I have heard it before 3+ years ago, reported in
detail then with much of what I would remark about it and CSN again:
http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1724.txt

Carnegie is WSW of OKC, where there is also a CSN 89.5 translator, or
157 km = 98 statute miles SSW of here, between Anadarko and Gotebo
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9830, Mon July 13 at 2215, no signal from VOT
English to us, but plenty RTTY from NSS Annapolis. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler.

But 9690 Spain has some nice classical music presented by Justin Coe,
finishing with a song for a Don Quixote play (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15610 & 9385, WEWN English frequencies: Glen Tapley,
frequency manager, replies July 13 to my inquiry about their
sesquiweek absence: ``Filament and cable repair. Should be back in a
day or two. Sent from my iPhone`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, July 14 at 0023, no signal from WLCR via WBCQ-6. 500
kW if really at full power, is often weak here way offbeam, depending
on rotatable azimuth, presumably huge in the boresight, but there
should be at least a carrier if it`s on. So we always wonder if there
has been another breakdown of some kind. AW has not been twitting
daily, latest ones of July 12, 8 and 5 and nothing about any such
problems, just promotion and photos (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 93.1, re my KRVN Lexington NE log by uncertain propagation,
Chris Lucas replies: ``On June 29 around that time, there was really
great tropo conditions out that way. Oklahoma City and Denver being
received on FM near Omaha; South Dakota and Western Nebraska reported
being received in Oklahoma City. In fact there were enhanced tropo
conditions in that region for a few days. Chris Lucas dtvdxer
Poughkeepsie, NY``

Well, there was no sign of anything else unusual here on the FM band,
just KRVN briefly overriding closer marginal 100/100 kW 93.1 in Pratt
KS, KHMY i.e. as a MY for Hutchinson KS (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 8990-USB, July 14 at 0022, weak 2-way sounds Spanish,
noticed as checking for 8989-USB blackwater fisherpreacher altho never
reported after 0000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer quick check before 1400* July 13, from 1358:
13020, 12880, 12820, 12800, all poor. At 1423, only on 11460, 11100
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12200, July 13 at 0544, RHC English is S9+10 and the SSOB (if
you attach this to 25m), but suptorted during a song. 2 x 6100, but
nothing on 12290 which would be 2 x 6145. Unusually, however, 2 x 6000
is also audible on 12000, S9 and undermodulated but not distorted. At
0557 I check the fundamentals: 6100 S9+30 suptorted; 6000 S9+20/30
undermod. Something`s always wrong at RHC. In case you think I say
that too much, axually I should say it four times about this item: bad
mod on both of them, harmonix out of both of them (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 13840, July 13 at 0541, JBA YL in French. I`m checking
in case NZ be on here in addition to its VG 9700 this hour. No, this
is NHK via MADAGASCAR at 0530-0600. BTW, Radio Japan languages
continue to default to English filler. Alan Roe reports:

``JAPAN [non]. The coronavirus pandemic continues to affect output
from NHK World R Japan. English news audio originating from NHK
Newsline [television! -- gh] heard during the opening 9 minutes in the
French service of NHK R Japan on 11730 kHz via Issoudun at 0530 UT on
Saturday 11 July. This was followed by audio from the English TV
programme J-MELO with a voice-over in French. NHK Newsline audio
continues also in the English service (as heard on 5975 at 0500, also
Saturday 11 July). Alan Roe, Teddington, UK``, WOR iog (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. In Enid we are blessed with three signals carrying ``The
House FM``, Jeezus rock aimed at younger demographic, which I avoid
like the plague, but in a very idle moment compare them, July 12
around 2132-2145 UT. First how they appear in the WTFDA Database:

KJTH 89.7 PONCA CITY OK 100.0 kW H&V 307.0 m HAAT 36-35-42 97-34-38
29B9 KJTH - Religious Music CHRISTIAN CHR/ROCK THE HOUSE HD is Off

KGVV 90.5 GOLTRY OK 14.0 kW H&V 40.0 m HAAT 36-27-45 98-02-28 220F My
Praise FM - Music with a message Adult Hits CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN THE
HOUSE OF PRAISE

K253BC relays KLVV 88.7 98.5 ENID OK 0.25 kW H&V 78.5 m HAAT H 0.0 m
HAAT V [huh?] 36-23-54 97-50-14 CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MY PRAISE FM

At this time, 90.5 is running 20 seconds behind 98.5; 89.7 sounds
similar but I can`t make a match plus or minus at all. Also on my
headphones it is obvious that 90.5 in $ tereo is modulating on right
channel only!

88.7 and 89.7 in Ponca are the originating sibling stations. To
confuse the situation further, July 13 at 1639 check, the three *are*
in // but not synchronized during a joint ``The House, and Praise``
fundraiser: translator 98.5 is first, 89.7 follows 13 seconds later,
and 90.5, another 5 seconds later! I suppose internet connexions are
being used for some or all of this. And 90.5 is still right channel
only (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. July 13 at 1455 UT, level-5 tropo blob centred around OKC
per Hepburn predixion, lesser rings out to the fringe here. Bandscan
with broken antenna gets many Bad signals on the few open channels,
including 6, presumably KBSD Ensign = Dodge City KS. And some of the
OKC channels are not decoding, RF 27 & 29, obviously due to DX QRM,
and even our local Enid K17JN-D translator invisible.

RF 20, 19-1 KQCW `News on 6` Tulsa market`s CW is the only clear
decoder, as it often is, but no subchannels on it.

RF 23, KSBI OKC is normally marginal or not decoding with its inferior
tower/power situation, but now it`s boosted so I explore its lineup:
52-1 KSBI; 52-2 Bounce: 52-3 Laff; 52-4 Grit; 52-5 Mystery. These
match rabbitears.info listings, but W9WI.com does not show any beyond
52-1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2042 monitoring: missed check of
the newish 0030 UT Monday July 13 on WRMI 7730; did anyone hear it?

Confirmed UT Monday July 13 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, good via UTwente;
also WRN webcast a few seconds apart.

Also confirmed UT Mon July 13 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, good at Utwente.

NOT confirmed UT Mon July 13 after 0300 on WBCQ 5130, nor 6160v, both
of which are not audible at Rochester or Alexandria SDRs, and presumed
off air. But on Area 51 webcast start at 0302. Recheck the remote at
0400, 5130 is now on but signing off; unknown at what point during the
hour 5130 came on, during or after WOR?

Also confirmed UT Mon 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG at Bonaire SDR and no
jamming heard, while at Rochester there is only jamming.

Also confirmed Monday July 13 from 1800:23 as received via UTwente
SDR, on 7290, IRRS via Bulgaria, off to a good start and still going
well at 1825, over at 1829.4 into music, IRRS ID and Milano contact
info, 1830.5 longer FSN.

Carrier was already on at 1755 tune-in, vs 7291 warble and 7280/7300
splash; just before 1759 cut on music --- never the same prélude from
one week to next; just before 1800 quick sign-on and Feature Story
News from Washington, headlines only, and then WOR. Next:

0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A. 9385, July 13 at 0549, WEWN English is still AWOL. Found
nothing about this on website; still shows A-20 frequency schedule,
but the program schedule
https://www.ewtn.com/radio/download/Shortwave_Grid.pdf
will not open. Lots of activity on their disgraced FB linked from WOR
Hitlist, but all about program promotion, and listener response,
obviously not any by SWLs. Who needs SW?

I`ve now asked Glen Tapley, frequency manager: ``Glen, WEWN English
frequencies 15610 and 9385 have been off since July 3, at least never
heard here in numerous checks. What`s the problem? Have you decided to
stop broadcasting in English? Both transmitters out of order? Spanish
continues on 12050 and 5970. Regards, Glenn Hauser`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
