Logs
** CANADA. Sporadic-E opening MUFs above 100 MHz to the NE of here
bode well for some FM DX at last, July 20 after 19 UT, so I hasten to
start monitoring mainly on the DX-398 with PL-880 as backup,
manipulating both telescopic antennas only, vs all the QRM from OK and
KS, ACI if not CCI on every frequency. All info from the WTFDA FM
database except distances city-to-city from distancefromto.net

95.1, at 1916, French-Canadian H&F conversation, SRC/CBC style; still
at 1929 vs Bott English from OK; another bit peaks at 1942. Very
likely is North Bay ON, since later I am getting stations near the
same line thru MI and QC, rather than CBF-FM flagship in far
Montreal:

CBON-FM-17, 95.1, North Bay ON, 100/100 kW, 145m, news/talk, ``Ici
Radio Canada Premiere``, 1884 km/1171 mi. BTW, the Bay it`s on is not
Georgian, but further inland from smaller Lake Nipissing. 1884 km =
1171 statute miles.

96.5, at 1944, a bit of YL in French, vs the two Okies. Based on later
definite Rouyn-Noranda area log, this fits:

CHOA-FM, 96.5, ROUYN-NORANDA QC CAN, 61.1 kW Horiz only, 204m, French,
Hot Ac, ``Wow 96.5``. 2025 km = 1258 mi from Rouyn;
2025 km = 1259 mi from Noranda

104.3, at 1955-1958, French hard sell adstring, Chevy and Ford car
dealers, $ tereo, mentions Rouyn-Noranda twice; 2000 partial ID during
fading claims ``cent mille watts ... Capitale Rock``, 2002 hard rock
music. This is it:

CHGO-FM, 104.3, AMOS/VAL D'OR QC CAN, 94/94 kW, 172.6m, French, Active
Rock, Capitale Rock/Radio X. 2101 km = 1305 mi from Amos, east of
Rouyn-Noranda in SW QC.

104.3, at 2013, two stations, one of them with rock in English. Could
be 96 kW KVGB-FM Great Bend KS, if not one of the Michiganders, 100 KW
religious WVCN in Baraga, in the PTA, U.P. near Houghton, rather than
190! kW classic hits WOMC Detroit.

Many more logs, MI & WI from same opening: see U S A. BTW, I am still
esperando (waiting/hoping for) any Es opening from Mexico this summer.
There have been plenty of sporadic-E openings, but not much above 88
MHz, and if so centered in the wrong spots for me (Glenn Hauser, Enid
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Sporadic-E opening MUFs above 100 MHz to the NE of here bode
well for some FM DX at last, July 20 after 19 UT, so I hasten to start
monitoring mainly on the DX-398 with PL-880 as backup, manipulating
both telescopic antennas only, vs all the QRM from OK and KS, ACI if
not CCI on every frequency. All info from the WTFDA FM database,
except distances city-to-city from distancefromto.net

After three catches in French from Ontario and Quebec, see CANADA, the
rest mostly Michigan:

95.3, at 1917, rock in stereo while I am getting French on 95.1.
Certainly not the usual KOKC talk translator in OKC, unlikely 14 kW
KMGZ Lawton. There are two Kansans not very close: KINZ, Humboldt in
the SE with 24 kW, classic hits; and KWKN, Wakeeney in the NW with 100
kW, unknown format. If Michigan, only two of the ten 95.3 are rock,
and only one, also the most powerful, 17 kW, WWSS, Tuscarora Township,
``The Bear``, but between Flint and Detroit outside PTA.

96.5, at 1919, string of national ads, very choppy fading, sure
thought Es, but finally an Okie ad, so only Tulsa or Elk City.

106.7, at 1923, sports talk in English overriding Spanish KTUZ Okarche
OK, I guess still QRP from 13/13 kW since tower was felled. This could
likely be:

WSRT, 106.7, GAYLORD MI USA, 100/100 kW, 177.0m, ESPN Radio Northern
Michigan. //WSRJ 105.5. 1466 km = 911 mi, north-central L.P.

Less likely a closer spoiler: K294DE, translator of KLKC-1540, PARSONS
KS USA, 250 watts with Fox Sports Radio. Parsons in SE KS.

93.5, at 1930, C&W in $ , with CCI; ad for Water Circus at Cadillac; YL
announcer, ID in passing as WTCM; 1936 ad for ``Northbound --- in The
Beautiful Charlevoix``; 1929 partial ID? ##TY?, mentions Traverse
City, repeat Cadillac Water Circus ad. Here it is:

WBCM, 93.5, BOYNE CITY MI USA, 14/14 kW, 283m, ``TODAY'S COUNTRY
MUSIC`` // WTCM 103.5. Boyne City is at the far end of Lake
Charlevoix, inland from Charlevoix on the coast which is N of Traverse
City. Cadillac is considerably S of TC, inland. 1458 km = 906 mi

93.5, at 2000 ID ``Mix 93, WKMJ-FM``, i.e.:
WKMJ-FM, 93.5, HANCOCK MI USA, 25.0/25.0 kW, 84.0m, HOT AC, ``MIX
93.5``. Hancock is in the U.P. By Houghton next to Lake Superior. 1419
km = 881 mi

88.3, at 2003, temp 70, predicted low in mid-50s! {Cool! at 101-degree
Enid now} from ``Smile FM``, briefly overcoming marginal KOSR
Stillwater, Wichita; and Enid`s K202BY is still OFF:

``Adult Hits, CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN. SMILE FM, MICHIGAN'S POSITIVE
HITS`` has FOUR 88.3s in MI, all mono (but I couldn`t tell):

WDTE, GROSSE POINT SHORES MI USA, 0.16 kW H/5.5 kW V, 50.0 m
WSMZ, CRYSTAL VALLEY MI USA, 1.5/1.5 kW, 200.0m
WKPK, MICHIGAMME MI USA, 0.0/15.0 kW, 252m [how is that pronounced?]
WEJC, WHITE STAR MI USA, 0.001/55.0 kW!, 114m

Thru sporadic E, polarization becomes random, so in decreasing power
probability: WEJC, WKPK, WDTE, WSMZ. By decreasing proximity to PTA
(probable target area): Michigamme near Ishpeming on the U.P.; Crystal
Valley near Ludington on the central west coast on Lake MI; White Star
unfound in my atlases, but G.C. Puts it somewhere near Midland/Bay
City. GPS = Detroit. Michigamme: 1388 km = 863 mi; Crystal Valley 1285
km = 799 mi

[Liz Cameron, somewhere in MI, replies on the WOR iog: [White Star, MI
is near Midland. Actually Gladwin County to the north. WEJC is a pest
near Tawas and in the Thumb. 73/Liz``]

93.3, at 2005, weather and ``Today`s Country``; must be overcoming OK
station. Not in MI, but one from WI is only hit on slogan:

WBSZ, 93.3, ASHLAND WI USA, 71/71 kW, 75.0m, ``TODAY’S COUNTRY Z-93``.
Ashland is on the N coast of WI, an inlet from Lake Superior. 1273 km
= 791 mi

87.9, since session began have been checking here and 87.75, but
nothing until 2018, now $ rock music; no local matches found; 2025 kid
voice-over music, ``trust in the lord``. It`s sort of mushy but
centred closer to 87.9 than 87.75 or 88.1.

The closest known Franken-FMs on 87.75 are in Chicago and Cleveland.
No 87.9s anywhere around there in official WTFDA DB. Could be one of
all those pirates Harold Frodge hears around his Midland MI location,
recapped by MARE:

``Following is a compilation of logs appearing in the MARE Tip
Sheets during July 2018-June 2019. Errors & typos in the
Tip Sheets are corrected here where known. Logs listed here are
all from listening posts within 250 miles of the Michigan border.

87.9 Bay City MI LP relay; Hits Radio 99-5 ZPL, KMTI? Xmas
mx,
77 WABC, Shine FM, Oldies 107.3 WRDJ, Hits FM, Hall-
mark Channel, 103-5 KCQ, old WABC spots, 9-70 WFLA

“ Birch Run MI, Birch Run HS, Panther Radio; 80s, 90s &
today,

“ Bridgeport MI area LP relay; Shine FM; 00,23 Jun, 14 Jul (HF)
“ Brighton MI LP relay; peaks a few mi. north; 15 Feb (HF)
“ Freeland MI area LP relay; 17,18 Nov (HF)
" Midland MI, NE Midland LP relay; various relays
including
95.1 Shine FM, 107.3 WRDJ, Z-100, The Big JCHW,
The Big HW Golden, 100.7 The Path?, 103.5 WKTU;
13,21 Jul, 15 Sep, 16,17 Jan, 19 Dec, 18 Nov (HF)

music;
14,15 Feb, 16,18 Apr, 17 Jan (HF)
“ Shiawassee county MI; 102-5 The Bone, Tampa FL; 15 Sep (HF)``

Opening has died down by 2030 UT and I have other tasks, so I quit,
but one sesquihour later, see the Es map still showing 100+ MHz MUFs,
so I resume at 2200-2215, but hear no DX; now, however, what I am
getting on 87.9 matches to local 91.1, Air One KKRD. Maybe I failed to
compare 87.9 to this one earlier. No idea how/why it show up on 87.9;
there is no local leapfrog fulcrum on 89.5. Of course, Air One is
everywhere out of its 92.7 flagship origination KYRA, Thousand Oaks in
California, so 87.9 could still be DX from somewhere (Glenn Hauser,
Enid OK, all July 20, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. HAWAII: 10000, July 21 at 0603, WWVH still announcing that
they will air info for military exercisers, I think she said at :50
past the hours. At this time, WWV is equally strong with short-skip
sporadic E boost (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1991 monitoring: confirmed by Ivo
Ivanov, Bulgaria: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on
6190 CUSB, July 20

https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/07/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_20.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYaYMbcLt20&feature=youtu.be
0631-0700 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sat, fair signal``

Noel R. Green also reports: ``Re 0629 UT on 6190 --- this was a really
poor signal here in NW England this morning and very difficult to make
much of it at all. When I tuned in at around 0640, I could hear a
voice that sounded like Glenn's on peaks out of the local noise, but
could copy nothing at all of what was being said. Maybe 9485 will be
better later?``

Confirmed Saturday July 20 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, S7-S( after IS & ID
loop as early as 2058.

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 21 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, good but with
some deep fades.

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 21 at 0359 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, at
the item about YHWH best heard via Prescott and Denver remotes, i.e.
16 minutes into, so must have started quite late around 0343. My
previous check was at 0339 when ham news by YL was still running.
Barely readable vs high summer storm noise level.

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, reports: ``GERMANY, World of Radio #1991 via
Hamburger Lokalradio on July 21:

** U S A. 5085, Sat July 20 at 2330, WTWW-3 is OFF when `Theater Organ
in the Ozarx` is supposed to appear --- but it`s running OK on $ tereo
webcast
http://wtww.us/pages/listen-live/transmitter-2-html-5.php
I *know* I have heard this ep before, with comments about Johnny
Carson, etc., in fact more than once. Are there any new TOITOs?

End at 2402, when I recheck: not only is 5085 absent, but all other
possible WTWW frequencies. Rerecheck about an hour later, now at least
5085 is on with hamstuff (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 6115, July 21 at 0000, checking WWCR only whether the third
#1 frequency is also squealing like 15825 and 3215? Yes, it is, as
g.h. Jack van Impe is starting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. 9570, July 20 at 0155, no signal from CRI ALBANIA
relay, while 9580 via CUBA is VG with `China Studio` LL filler.
Supposed to run 00-04, half & half English & Chinese. Bad propagation
from Europe? NO, 9420 GREECE is S9+5, 9495 República via FRANCE is
S9+15 over jamming. But 9690 SPAIN is missing too, q.v. (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 4765, July 20 at 0152, Radio Progreso is back on after
missing at least one month, music at S9+30/40 but undermodulated
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY. 7495, July 20 at 0141, very poor broadcast, bit of music,
then someone banging on a can at the rate of 5X per second. Unusual to
hear anything here next to WBCQ which is still on 7490+. HFCC shows
IBB Lampertheim, 100 kW, 80 degrees at 0030-0230 alternating semihours
in Pst and Prs, which mean Pashto and Dari; so what is it, really? Per
EiBi, VOA Ashna Radio, target IRAN! Instead of Afghanistan (Glenn
Hauser, OK DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 11940, UT Sat July 20 at 0158, S8 of crackling instead of
REE, supposed to be on here Tue-Sat for S America until 0200; likewise
9690 for N America. Maybe they just went off early before I intuned.
When they used to sign off at 2300, earworm interval signal would play
for several minutes more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1991 monitoring: confirmed Friday
July 19 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S6-S9 and not upcut, first SWBC.

– I catch a few bits later in the hour, as I am really not interested
in what the same callers every week have to say. AW says they have had
a few computer issues this week; John in Florida`s program [VORW] was
messed up but he will not be charged for it. Have staff shortage, need
more operators, especially for Superstation, which will not be back on
until August. John Carver reports on the whole hour:

``Trying 7490 again this week after noise forced me to 5130 last week.
Program started a few seconds early after some fill music. Allan and
Angela in the studio. Talk of the heat wave, half naked women,
moonbats blaming everyone else for the heatwave. Freddie on the phone
at 0007. Talk of heatwave, proper temperature to set air conditioners
at and the moon landing. Freddie off the phone at 0024 to be
immediately replaced by Dave in Indiana. Continuation of the moon
landing talk.

Superstation is down as they're doing some redesign on the antenna and
preparing the transmitter for the frequency changes coming. WLC
insists on being able to penetrate Arab countries. They are also
tweaking the computer control for the transmitter to allow smoother
transitions when the antenna is turned or frequency changed. Even
though the transmitter itself is water cooled, they've found they have
to add a lot more air conditioning in order to cool the transmitter
cases. Superstation will be back on the air next month. Was also
mention of adding another frequency to the classic WBCQ, 6160. Reading
of emails at 0053. Closing prayer at 0059. Program was off the air at
0104. John, Mid-North Indiana``

What I heard was really on the webcast. After Angela`s ending ID about
0105, immediately over to Brother Scare. but checking 7490.1 itself at
0140, it`s still on with music; 0150 now it`s double audio again,
mixture of a talk program and a music program. One of them with 0200
ToH canned ID, and switch to Brother Scare, only.

6160, new registered WBCQ frequency with nominal 50 kW at same 245
degree azimuth as all the other ``classix``, not in use yet; to
replace 9330 with same old transmitter? Will be cozy with 6165 RHC for
~6 hours a night, often undermodulated, sometimes plenty strong.

5130.4, UT Sat July 20 at 0151, this WBCQ is also still on with some
talk; 0200 opening? a program we had never heard of or about, `One
Hundred watts and a Wire`, with ad/plugs for Icom ham equipment, and
also own website onehundredwattsandawire.com --- no, make it numbers:
http://100wattsandawire.com/
which has been a podcast for four years, but nothing about it being on
WBCQ. ``The intersection of life and amateur radio``; originates in
Florissant MO; about heat wave in Missouri; participating in the 13
Colonies special event recently.

So this and whatever was on 7490 after AWWW should be on the WBCQ
program schedule, right? Wrong. Nothing shown on 7490 after 0100 Sat;
on 5130, ``Sa 0100 0200 UTC Fr 09:00PM 10:00PM EST [sic] Matt Boland
Presents`` instead of 100watts, etc. BTW, `Radio for Peace
International` is now listed on 5130, UT Friday at 0200-0300.

3264.9, July 20 at 0204, JBA carrier from this WBCQ; improving? Was
never listenable even in winter. The only program on sked for it is
AAAWWW, UT Sat 00-01 in the ``trimulcast`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, July 20 at 0205, WWCR-1 gospel huxter with squeal on
#1 transmitter as also heard when strong on 15825. Should also appear
when on 6115 at 22-01 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. 7305, July 20 at 0145, YL ending `Vatican News` in
Spanish with contact info, and immediately restarting `Vatican News`
in Spanish --- are they axually playing the same program twice in a
row to fill the doubled airtime? VG via Grimesland NC relay (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
