** ASCENSION. 17800, Sept 13 at 1358, JBA signal where I seldom hear
anything on morning bandscans. Listed as DW in Hausa daily at
1300-1357; indeed off at 1424 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11860.4, Sept 13 at 1323, lite Cuban noise jamming overlaid
several times a minute by a very rapid series of beeps, all same
pitch, too fast and too many to count, as heard tuned to 11860.0-USB,
and then located frequency of beeper which is inaudible in AM mode,
i.e. not modulated but just CW-like.

Also at 1325 I hear exactly the same thing happening on 11930.4. Radio
Martí does not start either frequency until 1400. Occasional beepery
of different spans, combinations and speeds, has been heard previously
out of Cuban jammers, intriguing; could Arnie explain? Ha. And is this
something ``wrong`` or not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13554, 13485, 13630, 13775, 13840 approx., Sept 13 at 1327,
strong FM spurblobs out of RHC 13700-AM transmitter, each about 10 kHz
wide, at intervals of approx. 70-75 kHz which may vary slightly over
time. AND yes, all with F# above middle C constant tone, just like
original outbreak years ago, but tuned in FM mode, modulation is quite
readable, while 13700 source sounds fine in AM.

By 1348 I search for further outliers and detect at least the F# tone
circa: 13990, 14060, 13844, 13410 - which was a trace around 13415
earlier. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

XELRDA to match its slogan, altho it`s really rebranded XEMU which
lost the frequency and then bought it back, still llamando itself
``XEMU`` tho I heard neither call this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 840, Sept 13 at 1204 UT, Spanish from N/S, ID in passing as
``Radio Aleluia``, fade by 1206. That`s KVJY Pharr TX in the RGV as
now listed in the NRC AM Log, religious format. --- I thought this was
the unlikely station being relayed by XEPRS 1090 BCN, but it wasn`t
religious. What is the status of that deal?

IRCA Mexican Log as of Sept 1 explains under 1090 XEPRS: ``// KPAV
[sic, typo?] 104.9 FM Alamo TX. No longer // XEPE 1700 AM. Ads and
announcers in English and Spanish. With no lessee, owner is relaying a
relative`s FM station. Mentions 840 AM on air (and on `About` page of
FB), but KJAV-FM is reportedly no longer // KVJY 840 AM`` (Glenn

** U S A [and non]. 870, Sept 13 at 1155 UT, screaming gospel huxter,
a mental case, in Spanish, --- ``¡¡¡Cristo viene!!!`` from N/S,
presumed KFJZ Fort Worth TX, but I would like to get an ID. Last time
he finished before 1200 but there was no legal ID before going right
into next infomercial. Today I clench my teeth (and eardrums?), and
keep listening. Keeps on right across ToH; at 1203 says he`s going to
terminate in 5 minutes --- but still going at 1208 when XERTA finally
gets started with XE NA from Chihuahua, barely audible from SW. And
*still* predicating by fade-out 1215, never hearing any local
references or contact info, but it was a sermon recorded in a
``noche``. All along there has been a medium SAH with WWL, which
despite easterliness, outlasts KFJZ. Could someone in The Metroplex
confirm whether KFJZ now be 100% Spanish, brokered miscellany? And
what slogan do they ever ID? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 88.1, Sept 13 at 1342 UT, KWOU Woodward is inbooming for
StarDate, so tropo is up; after breakfast to DTV bandscan; some Bad
signals on the few open UHF channels, but I always check down to VHF
6, knowing that 5-4-3-2 would be pointless for DTV tropo around
here.

And indeed at 1440 UT I *do* finally have a Bad signal on 6! This has
to be KBSD Ensign KS = Dodge City, which managed to keep its old NTSC
channel -- and there are *no* other RF6 stations in Kansas, Oklahoma,
Missouri or Arkansas (but 17 across TX, LD or LP including
Franken-FMs, no full powers).

Bill Hepburn`s tropo map predicted for 15 UT shows Level 5 Good
enhancement from Woodward thru here up into central Missouri, but
Dodge City is outside any of that.

RF 13, KETA OKC is also Bad, not decoding, blocked by some other DX,
despite antennas aimed toward it. That could also be caused by Garden
City, KUPK, but there are other 13 full-powers in Pittsburg & Topeka
KS. A glimpse of the CCI shows a Home Depot ad circa 1438 (Glenn

very strong dead air prior to China Plus relay, which continues until

But the spurs were tweaked away at 1401. Something`s always wrong at

** MEXICO. 1050, Sept 12 at 0602, XEG Monterrey with super-hype voice
actor full Spanish ID claiming 100,000 watts ``en efectivo``, the
strongest station in Mexico or the US. Effective? meaning in a certain
direxion, but less transmitter power? That term is usually applied to
FM where ERP is almost always much greater than transmitter power,
taking into account antenna gain. Still plenty of QRM, and XEG has not
been the dominant 1050 signal at night for a long time, so I question
their claim. And it`s supposedly ND day and night. IRCA Mexican Log
shows nothing but 100/100 kW and it`s also $ tereo with no FM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 15430, Sept 12 at 1328, bit of S Asian song, dead air,
1330 resumes YL announcement and hymn. Aoki shows AWR via Trincomalee
in Bengali until 1330, nothing afterwards. But EiBi has it: 1330-1400
daily in KHS language, i.e. ``Khasi / Kahasi: India-Meghalaya, Assam
(0.8m) [kha]`` --- so how many of the 800K speakers are really
listening to this, and of them, how many are converting to 7D
Adventism?? Believe it or not, this transpolar is the strongest signal
on band, S4-S7, much more than US or Cuban signals on 15825, 15230,
15140, 15115 DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

himself who will take his day off tomorrow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Re the three 1540s in Texas, after my report of KGBC
Galveston off-frequency-minus, Stephen Luce, Houston replies:

``Glenn, KGBC is no longer running the Tejano format, having switched
to Spanish language religion a few months ago. During critical hours I
have heard KEDA underneath KGBC, so it might be them.

"Tejano" refers to Texas Hispanics (particularly south Texas) whose
families have lived in the state for many generations. The Tejano
music style enjoyed its peak popularity in the 1990's, but has fizzled
since then, with little new product being released. There have been
attempts to revive it on radio, but the listener demographics skew too
old, which is why the format failed on KGBC (not to mention the poor
1540 AM signal in the broader Houston market.)

Also, has anyone confirmed what co-channel KZMP in Dallas-Fort Worth
is now running following the demise of ESPN Deportes Radio?``

To which Mauno Ritola, Finland, replies: ``Stephen, they have been
heard relaying KXYZ 1320, but apparently not all the time? Seems to
carry ranchera, just checked, attached. KZMP 1540.mp3``

ID on that is ``La Ranchera 103.7`` --- but in the WTFDA FM DB, not a
single Texan of the dozen on 103.7 is Spanish, let alone ranchera, and
the local one for The Metroplex would surely be KVIL, still shown as
alternative rock. Or were they saying 106.7?? Hard to distinguish in
off-air-recording. YES! WTFDA DB already has it:

``KZZA 106.7 MUENSTER TX 75.0 75.0 620.0 620.0 33-26-13 97-29-05
Spanish 548E Title & Artist La Ranchera La Authentica [sic] Musica
Mexicana 106.7 FM Rock [sic] RANCHERA LA RANCHERA 106.7 //KZMP 1540``

One might expect Muenster to be speaking German rather than Spanish; a
town of 1.5 kilopersons, it`s way out west of Gainesville on the way
to Wichita Falls (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 930, Sept 10 at 0028 UT, WKY OKC in English! With the
demise of ESPN-D[eportes], what to do with this legacy station? Sports
talk in English! In fact, at 0047 plugs sibling station WWLS The
Sports Animal (98.1) which is also on KWPN 640 Moore, but not // at
the moment. At 0201 UT I find that 930 is // 640 but running 7 seconds
behind it. And again at 0620 UT when both are on ESPN Radio (in
English).

What a great variety Radio License Holding CBC, LLC are providing!
BTW, these two stations are not part of any other AM cluster in OKC.
according to FCC Licensee info. Oh, yeah?

At 1459 UT Sept 10, I monitor the ToH breaks on all three stations.
640 and 930 are not // but 930 is // 98.1, if not synched. At 1502
legal ID on 98.1 starts with WWLS, then a bunch of mostly AM
affiliates all over OK, to which WKY has been added at the end; as
part of Cumulus. And the same multi-station ID comes around 27 seconds
later on 930. But FCC AM Query shows Cumulus is *not* the licensee of
any AM station in OK. How about FM? Allegedly, ONLY ONE: 107.3 KOMS
Poteau! What is going on here? Well, RLH CBC LLC must be a subsidiary
of Cumulus, but why? Try to reach the former on Wikipedia and you are
redirected to Cumulus without explanation. Could CBC stand for the
obvious?

On FM, the following in OK are licensed to Radio License Holding CBC
LLC, per FCC FM Query: WWLS-FM 98.1 The Village [NW OKC suburb where I
used to live], KYIS 98.9 OKC, KATT 100.5 OKC, KKWD 104.9 Bethany.
Except for 104.9 which I could not hear anyway, the other three FM
would get knocked off the air simultaneously via storms.

WKY used to run some commercials and PubAffs shows in English; so now
will they insert anything in Spanish? When ESPN-D appeared, WKY
dismissed their ``La Indomable`` Spanish DJ staff. From Nov. 2014:
http://www.w4uvh.net/WKY930AM-ad.jpg

Mexi-tunes on peaks, and confirmed it's KGBC per D. Crawford who had
it a few days earlier and since on 1539.903. And not to be confused
with the still off-channel and variable KBOA Kennett MO on
1539.996-1540.005, this check on the low side with "Too Much, Too
Little, Too Late" by Denice Williams & Johnny Mathis.``

Per 2019/2020 NRC AM Log, which does not deal with offfrequenciness,
latest KGBC format is Tejano, U4 2500/250 watts. Beware, so is KEDA
San Antonio, Tejano, which I guess refer only to music style. However,
música is feminine, so why isn`t it called ``tejana``; machismo [where
the ch is not pronounced k!]? Also, is it possible for a station
outside Texas to be Tejano? Or e.g. if it play the same style of music
from OK, would it be ``Oclajomano``? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12125-USB, 13519-USB, 13788-USB, Sept 8 at 1315 within a
minute on bandscan, weak 2-ways in Spanish all here, the last being
INTRUDERS into the SWBC band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
