** CANADA. Replies to my inquiry how to pronounce that town in Ontario
I DXed on 96.5 FM, also mentioned on WOR 2194:
``On your program you reported hearing the CBC French station from
Penetanguishene ON. Great DX catch. I lived up in that area for
several years and used to listen to it often. I don't understand any
French but some of the musical programs were good. The pronunciation of the town's name is sort of like this.
Pena - tang - guishene (rhymes with machine) - Doug Brown, London
ON`` ``Hi Glenn, Vern from Toronto here. I’ve recently returned to
SWL/DX’ing after a lengthy absence. Sad to find that so many beloved
stations are now gone, but gratified that you’re still doing your
excellent work. Enjoyed the program back in the ‘70s and am enjoying
it now! Anyway, it’s pronounced peh-na-TANG-wish-een. Often shortened by
locals to Penetang (PEH-na-tang). Listen, here:
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0b/Penetanguishene.ogg I’ve never been there, because I don’t drive and public transport to
small towns in Ontario is practically non-existent. It looks quite
picturesque, though. Amazing that you heard an FM station from there
in Oklahoma! Best regards, Vern Nicholson`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** CHAD [non]. 15505, June 12 at 0637, ME or Af lang? S8/S9. EiBi
shows it`s R Ndarason Internationale, this hour via Woofferton UK,
plus another hour 07-08 on same via Ascension. Language KNU = Kanuri
but WRTH 2023 page 667 shows also Kanembu and French, q.v. for details
about station background. It`s a target broadcast but not clandestine
with studios in Chad and Nigeria. Ndarason means ``wherever you go``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, June 12 at 0640, RHC English in mailbag UT Monday,
S9/+10 with squeal, this date`s after-hours frequency again and
nowhere else. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15136.154V, June 12 at 1526, JBA carrier and another one
15143.955, i.e. just about same displacement minus/plus from strong
15140 RHC, so spurs out of that. My best measurements direct but
checking Missouri SDR at 1558 I get 15136.002, 15140.002 and
15144.002, an even more perfect match. At 1825 I check the calibration
of that on WWV 15000 and find it right on with slight variations
plus/minus fraxion of 1 Hz, surely receiver not transmitter
instability. At 1830+ RHC 15140 has double audio feed, Spanish atop;
the other maybe scheduled Creole, and now are slightly mostly on minus
side of each. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. Excerpting the XH-only logs and duplicating them from my UT
June 10 USA and non FM DX report, q.v. for methodology: Here we go, Mexicans! No problem penetrating metal garage door on the
south with car facing north. 95.5 at 1740, ``La Comadre 95.5 FM`` ads for Día del Padre, mentions

lots of Mexicans from Yucatán, Campeche, at least. I start at 1630 UT
as area tropo is also up from KS, OK with some stations not normally
audible, into north Texas, which means more QRM than usual on `open`
DX frequencies. Such non-Es logs are included, to note or reconfirm
branding. To boot, two major local signals from Enid are off the air:
95.7 and 107.1! Es FM DX: gotta take it whenever it decide to happen! In the not too
hot garage, on the Nissan Sentra 2004 stock caradio with fender
vertical antenna only, so no antenna manipulation but disfavoring any
horizontal-only stations, if any; all logs in real
time with my own ears, one frequency at a time, no RDS capability, no
recording, no internet for stream comparisons; but research later from
my scribbled notes, mainly the excellent WTFDA FM Database, also in
general searching if needed. All times strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP
and antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz
and vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from distancefromto.net.
Showing distance does not necessarily make a log more definite, but
FYI. This time I bother with distances only for the Mexicans. I do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not,
and am not in a competition. Each DX log I view as a potential
learning experience. Clarifications, correxions welcome. 96.7 at 1633, sports talk about The Mavs, soon ID as ``sports radio

KREK BRISTOW, KKWD BETHANY, KRIG-FM NOWATA, possibly one of?
However a broad search on Power 104.9 gets some not in WTFDA:
WTSX Kokomo IN, and WSTV Jonesboro/Atlanta GA. But WTFDA puts WSTV in
Roanoke VA! But no DX opening known from any of those areas. 97.3 at 1756, ID as KCNP, Peace Talks Radio, probably a program name.
1800 ID as Chickasaw Community Radio with 3 or 4 stations.
KTNG 97.3 CONNERSVILLE OK Silent VARIETY CHICKASAW COMMUNITY RADIO 6.0
96.0 34-25-55 96-37-11 -- aha, 97.3 is certainly not silent now. And
KCNP is really their 89.5 base? station. All of them FYI but the
others not heard:
KCNP 89.5 ADA OK VARIETY CHICKASAW COMMUNITY RADIO 5.8 177.0 34-41-01
96-45-44
KAZC 89.3 DICKSON OK VARIETY CHICKASAW COMMUNITY RADIO 3.4 64.0
34-10-26 97-11-33 4748
KWPV 104.5 WYNNEWOOD OK VARIETY CHICKASAW COMMUNITY RADIO 5.5 43.0
34-42-21 97-14-49 92.3 at 1801, Spanish in CCI mix with Fox ``news``; only copied ``El
Sonido`` and music. Maybe just words not a branding, for nonesuch
found on WTFDA. Broad search leads to Uruguay, on 92.3 ``Sonido
Urbano`` of FM Libertador: I suspect that`s not it. Another 92.3
below 95.7 at 1806, in continued absence of local KXLS, and not KKAJ either,
gospel huxter in English briefly, so another OKC translator; this
explains why 95.1, the real KQCV-FM need not be // 800, but not
knowing this till later, did not check 800. Also 95.7 at 1830, Friends
of Israel Radio Today, Bott Network jingle, //94.3 KS and 95.1 OK:

RADIO NETWORK 0.25 211.0 35-33-26 97-28-31 D2ED 96.7 at 1810, Spanish and music as the 92.3 and 95.5 SS above are no
longer audible so unlikely same PTA? But like definite 95.5 there is
another in Campeche:
XHESE-FM 96.7 CHAMPOTÓN CAMP MEX Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN KE BUENA 6.0
64.25 19-21-09 90-42-50 2019/1255
or on other side of Yucatán:

MEXICAN LA SÚPER T, SÚPER TURQUESA 2.0 67.0 19-35-46 88-02-02 0001
XHTU FM Classical 2101/1306 Or, Spanish 96.7, instead of an XH could be this:
KOYE 96.7 FRANKSTON TX USA Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN LA INVASORA 92.3 &
96.7 50.0 150.0 32-02-22 95-24-39 //KTLH 107.9
A bit far: Frankston is SE of Dallas halfway to Nacogdoches 97.3 at 1812, much stronger than the 96.7 just logged, Spanish, dance
music, YL vocal with disco beat, then ``Radio Fórmula 97.3, una
emisora de --?--`` At 1815, TC as ``12:15``, so CST of UT-6, no longer
CDT of UT-5 in central Mexico. At 1821 another ``R. Fórmula 97.3``
promo vs country CCI. 1833 sportstalk about bolitas still VG. This is
the only Fórmula on 97.3:

``campechanos``, in & out; 1836 mentions Campeche, seems // stronger
97.3 sports talk above XHRAC Campeche. From my notes not sure whether
this heard on 97.3 or 100.3: at 1842, programa de coches 97.3, Carmen,
mentions Telemar, i.e. Campeche TV channel:

Mérida as the six SS in TX are all religious and less than 3 kW except
for one; 1900 SHVA ID missed vs CBS News on KOKC; but 1901 mentions
Mérida, Yucatán:

CANDELA FM 25.0 107.0 20-57-58 89-37-27 1893/1176
Also mentioned ``mera, mera``?, a slogan on some stations, surely
meaning something else than literally, mere, mere. IIRC, Candela
briefly on the 6105 SW transmitter before it vanished forever. 99.3 at 1904, Spanish mentions Mérida, Yucatán, partial call XHM##,
``en todas partes, 99.3 X-FM``. The X sounded like English ``eks`` or
``ex``; but spelt EXA: I`ve wondered how they say it:

secular song not religious. At 1910, 93.9 ID from OK, LP which has a
higher power relay on 101.5. 1916 slow ballad again, so let`s prolong
the Yuc PTA:

opening really be over. Researching and compiling this report not completed until 2355 UT
Monday June 12; by when there have been more big Es FM DX openings on
Sunday June 11, 1742-1816 & 2058-2409 UT mostly from eastern US,
Monday June 12, 0243-0325 from north; all of which will take me a few
more days to compile (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 12 at 0656 in Bislama/English commercials,
