** CUBA. 9700, July 9 at 0651, S8/9+10 of dead air no doubt RHC; at
least it`s a clean signal this time rather than garbage or basura.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11670, July 9 at 0654, unusually there is a second overrun, Spanish
talk and Cuban music, S7/S9 still going past 0700. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 104.9, July 8 at 0126 UT as I tune across here on
caradio, fruitless search for Es FM DX, DJ exclaims ``104-9, Yikes``.
Aha, an unusual branding? Very, unfound in search of WTFDA DB, on this
or any frequency, anywhere. Yet a broad search on 104.9 yikes leads to
too many stations, none? nearby. #1 station usually heard here is:
KKWD 104.9 BETHANY OK VARIETY HITS ALICE 104.9 6.0 6.0 100.0 100.0
35-29-53 97-37-10 2CA7 Artist/Title HD is Off

But hardly a solid signal at that power and distance. Altho only 100
watts, this one is only about 20 miles west of us in Enid, but I have
*never* heard it, even from west side of Enid, and suspect it be
non-existent:
KEUC 104.9 RINGWOOD OK RELIGIOUS TEACHING EWTN 0.1 0.1 21.0 21.0
36-23-12 98-14-47
Such an outlet is on the Oklahoma Catholic Radio list, minus call
letters.

Note that this goes back almost 8 years! Blowing up a coverage map,
site is just north of deadend intersexion of 6th Street and Short
Street inside Ringwood.

0134 UT recheck, Yikes has faded and now there is a mix of music and
gospel huxter? With Tulsa area signals enhanced, could be one of
these, the only other Okies with more than peanut-power:

KREK 104.9 BRISTOW OK RELIGIOUS TEACHING THE SONLIFE RADIO NETWORK 5.0

36-43-37 95-46-18

About time for a jaunt into the country anyway, we decide to visit the
KEUC site and see/hear what may be there, on Saturday afternoon, July
8. Ringwood is quite a small town, but with a neat very well-stocked
grocery store, Richard`s, carrying items unfound in big Enid, another
reason for an excuse to visit.

From 1850 UT, driving west on US 412/60 tuned to 104.9 starting with
KKWD fringe if anything. By the time we get to Meno at 1911, an open
carrier in mono is starting to capture 104.9, and sure enough it`s
`local` in Ringwood. We easily find the site where Short Street [N/S]
deadends at 6th Street [E/W]: it`s the Ringwood municipal water tower,
one of those slim cylinders -- and it has antennas on it, violating
Separation Of Church And State. Still nothing but dead air, but I
never detected even that from Enid. Of course the coverage area with
100 watts is rather limited, and maybe if there be tropo, bigger
stations are still going to block it.

Bewaring a big white poodle which takes it upon itself to protect KEUC
with menacing charges and barx, but apparently blongs to an adjacent
trailer-house, we inspect the facility. There is a vertically
polarized 4- or 5-element yagi about halfway up the tower on the
`wrong` side of it, southwest, and pointed away from Enid. Two cables
run up the tower, past this antenna to the very top where there may be
some other very small antenna.
https://www.w4uvh.net/KEUC_104.9_Ringwood2.jpg

Maybe that`s for STL reception from somewhere. None of the other OCR
stations are close or powerful enough to provide a direct off-air
pickup for relay and there is no satellite dish. Or they could be
depending on internet feed with no way or desire to reboot it
remotely.

Adjacent is the transmitter shack, with a faded almost illegible
warning on the door that it`s a FEDERAL OFFENSE to disturb it, but no
identity as KEUC, OCR or anything. An OG&E electric meter on the side
is running. There is also a propane tank right next to it - would that
convert to emergency electric power, or just keep the transmitter from
freezing?
https://www.w4uvh.net/KEUC_104.9_Ringwood1.jpg
In any event, it`s all for naught as long as the air be dead. And back
in Enid I won`t be able to tell if and when it come to life. I can`t
help but wonder if the neighbor or any other Ringwoodians be aware
what this thing is for.

Altho the WTFDA FM DB as above has correct info for KEUC, as far as it
goes, you would never know it`s part of the Oklahoma Catholic Radio
network, nor some of the others on their station list, just
``religious teaching`` - not always with real city of license.
https://www.okcr.org/stations
One can go thru it and figure out which stations serve which city,
e.g. Walters south of ``Lawton``. We also see that there are *three*
LP stations on 99.3 in the OKC area, one of which must be one of OCR`s
two Spanish outlets. And there are *five* around OKC on 97.7. It`s
really getting crowded (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11620 // 9550, UT Sun July 9 at 0042, VG direct, after
some music RRI starts `DX Mailbag` - acknowledging reception reports,
not of much use or interest, but no doubt fulfilling for the listeners

``What we do --- We provide free Food, Groceries, Toiletries and

It does not appear to be overtly religious, rather a local charity, so
why would they be on WRMI SW to Europe? There is no mention of it on
this extensive page:
http://wrmi.net/index.php/programming/

Searching on that name is rather fruitless, but not for Soteria
without the -h:

``SOTERIA - Greek Goddess of Safety & Deliverance ...
Theoi Greek Mythology
https://www.theoi.com › Daimon › Soteria
Soteria was the goddess or personified spirit (daimona) of safety, and
deliverance and preservation from harm.``

Therefore any religious aspect of this program must be
Greek-Mythological! This has been elsewhen on WRMI sked for quite some
time. The skedgrid still shows only three other times for Soteriah:
0000-0030 Tue-Sat on 5950; 12-13 Mon-Sat on 5850; and 0330-0400

monitored further as we`re off on a DXpedition to investigate KEUC.
Returned by 2106, no signal on any of those remotes, off already

** U S A. 91.5, July 8 at 0121 & 0140 UT, my next rechex on caradio
*still* find open carrier/dead air, i.e. from KSNS, Medicine Lodge,
KS, see my previous report: I bet it`s been dead thruout the 5 hours
since 2044! Instead of ignorance and inattention by station staff, it
could also be that a person on duty at station collapsed or worse. IF
they have any local listeners, might call 911 and/or get the police to
make a welfare check. BTW, this OC/DA is in mono; I had not noticed
whether it were in $ tereo when modulative.

With the proliferation of Part 15 very low-power RF feeders in cars,
sometimes left on with no input, one must be careful not to take one
of these nearby for a genuine FM station. So I have made certain 91.5
OC/DA remains audible as I drive around Enid, and even on my jaunt out
to Ringwood, July 8 between 1850 and 2100 UT to investigate KEUC;

** OKLAHOMA. Noticed this mixup in the WTFDA FM DB. The listing for
90.1 KUCO says it is a relay OF: KCSC-FM 95.9!

LISTENER SUPPORTED CLASSICAL MUSIC FROM UNIV OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA //
KBCW-FM 91.9 & KCSC 95.9

On the contrary, all programming originates at KUCO, fed to its two
satellites KCSC 95.9 in Woodward and KBCW 91.9 in McAlester. Perhaps
confused because the original call of 90.1 was KCSC - for Central
State College, not to be confused with something in Chico, California.
Some years after the school was renamed University of Central
Oklahoma, the 90.1 calls were changed in accordance. By then had also
acquired the relay facility on 95.9 in Woodward from KCCU Lawton, so
as a legacy, KUCO applied the KCSC calls to that. Standard legal IDs
used to add HD1 to 90.1 and 91.9 but not to 95.9; now dispensed with
that. IIRC, HDs of 90.1 include some totally unrelated gospel huxter
renter and/or a student station? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2198 monitoring: confirmed Friday
July 7 at 1430 the first SWBC on WRMI 9955 --- but it`s just barely
modulated! both direct and via Maryland remote. This transmitter has
had reduced modulation before but now it`s almost gone. Webcast level
seems OK. Emailed WRMI ASAP at 1445 but nothing was or could be done
about this before 1459. Following music fill also JBM. Webcast
continued with DW via WRN. Something`s odd at Okeechobee. See if it be
fixed when System B WRMI-3, 9955 resume at 2100? Not checked until
2330 when it also seems u/mod but also facing jamming and some other
noise, local? into Maryland SDR.

** U S A. Possibility of Es so caradio bandscan July 7 at 2024 UT:
finds none, but notice that semi-local 91.5 is in deadair, still so
past 2044. Standard remark: if a station be so out of it that it does
not even have one staff member or another constantly monitoring for
dead air or any other problem, even if automated, and/or a
silence-sensor alarm, how can they expect any listeners to stick with
them, and more importantly, why should they deserve continued
licensing, especially if there be any other/better demand for the
frequency? WTFDA FMDB shows:

KSNS 91.5 MEDICINE LODGE KS CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN KEEP SINGING NEW
SONGS" 0.0 96.0 0.0 141.0 37-14-02 98-39-55 A4EC KSNS --- or ``Keep
Sending No Sound``! Anyhow there is a lot of spoken gospel-huxtering,
not just music when they manage to modulate. It`s just over the OK/KS
frontier. This one is also unusual in that it`s full power and
vertically polarized only, as the 0.0 means kW ERP-H and the 96.0
means kW ERP-V. Maybe that`s why I hear it better on the caradio.

** CUBA. 9700, July 6 at 0621, RHC with huge humwhine atop talk mod in
Spanish rather than English, only frequency still on air. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2198) The Other
Side:

``Cuba is a failed state, and there are at least 14 signs
demonstrating it ---
Before 1959 the economy was among Latin America′s best, with per
capita income higher than that of several European countries. Under
Communism, it became parasitic, and cannot even survive without
foreign subsidies.

Roberto Álvarez Quiñones Los Ángeles 05 Jul 2023 - 21:32 CEST

A few days ago I saw a photo of a group of people in front of the High
Court in London. They had turned out to support the lawsuit against
the Castro regime for its debt of 72 million euros. They carried a
large sign that read: "Cuba is a failed state."

True! This is one of the most powerful and patriotic flags that Cubans
can fly today because, without a doubt, Cuba today is a failed
state...``

** VANUATU. 7260, July 6 at 0627, RV is back after missing a couple
nights, island music, 0631 drumming intro to public notices segment,
S9/+10 but storm noisy. Ron Howard has received a prompt eQSL
specifying power at 10 kW -- as we have suspected, quadrupled from
last known listings of 2.5:

``Thanks very much to Pradip Chandar Kundu (Agartala, Tripura, India),
via ADXR (July 2023), for the contact info! Sent off a reception
report, with audio file, to Robert Warren < robertw @ vbtc.vu > and
received the attached e-QSL in about two hours. Please notice the
power "10 Kw." He is the senior technical officer at VBTC. Very happy
to have their current QSL! Ron California``. They are staying on 7260
after 0700, contrary to sked from Spain claiming 3945 and harmonix
