[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs April 26-27, 2015
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1020-, April 27 at 0526 UT, semi-local KOKP Perry is still off the air; must be serious.
As Minnesotans have been noting, there is a low audible het on frequency, so somebody else is off-channel, and to the low side. They think it`s KMMQ in NE but not I, since LAH loops ENE/WSW from here. At 0527 UT I do get a uncopied Spanish ID which is not off-frequency, and from N/S-ish, and presumably that is KMMQ.
Then by 0534 UT CCI on 1020 grows from something in English, ad in the 412 area code, i.e. KDKA Pgh PA, but which is surely not the off-freq either, and not much of a signal.
Once again, since there are no Mexicans in the north or west, that rather leaves the much-crippled, QRP from 50 kW KCKN Roswell NM as prime suspect. With max signal from the het, I also note that it is pulsing regularly, at the rate of 136/minute. Someone closer to KCKN should be able to check out these signatures. And KOKP is still off April 27 at 1957 UT check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. After many months of NO SIGNAL on cable 15 from Suddenlink in Enid, since must-carry(?) KXOK-LD a block away has been off the RF31 air, *suddenly* April 26 at 2230 UT I notice an old Roy Rogers movie eventually involving an airplane! So KXOK is back? NO, checking the antenna feed, still no RF 31, but the relay on RF 32 is on, still with infomercials only, and no sound most of the time, as in my last report. So what`s this on C15? It`s still labeled KXOK!
Finally I match it up to Cable 134, still labeled as long-gone ZUUS --- but it`s still KOKH RF 24, 25.2 being relayed, i.e. now with GRIT = old movie channel. Roy Rogers color is washed out, and I don`t think brown horses should have blue highlights, so presumably colorized. It`s also miserably low-res and stretched (can`t monkey with aspect on cable channels to my sets). Another old RR movie starts at 0000 UT April 27.
I noticed this first on analog cable 15, which I still have plugged into one monitor, as well as DTV C15 and C134 --- one little problem --- there is no sound on either 15 with this input! Just on C134, and still the case 30 hours later recheck. Why bother? BTW, ignorant online TV listings from TVG and Zap2it have continued to show imaginary programming on KXOK, probably the Retro TV sked which it once carried (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. With semester/quarter ending, it`s time for a glut of recitals, music performances by university students and faculty. The University of Oklahoma School of Music had been carrying certain concerts by live-only streaming webcasts; this year the full concerts are on YouTube, not only live but later, unknown for how long. Last one listed is the President`s Concert of April 26, which I have yet to watchear.
Sound is usually OK, not necessarily including announcements from the stage which are often off-mike, at least not on the mike going into the cameras! Here`s access, also to other events such as lectures:

or one step back in case that doesn`t work, go to
http://www.ou.edu/finearts/music/
and click on View All Concert Streams
I wonder if OSU does anything like that?

** U S A. 13650-13690, April 27 at 2129, VOA YDD sign-on is splattering over this range from central 13670 Greenville; 2130 opening Bambara; also on // 15120 very strong but not splattering, which had been open carrier several minutes earlier. Both are 250 kW, 94 degrees from Greenville, ideal for solid coverage of central USA off the back. Any Okie-Bambaras? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1770 monitoring: Sunday April 26 at 2100, WRMI schedule shows WOR on 15770 and it has been for a couple weeks, but this time not, nor on 7570 which is sometimes duplicative. `End Times Coming` is // on both. But WOR 1770 confirmed Sunday April 26 at 2300 on WRMI 11580. And WOR 1770 confirmed on Area 51 webcast, and presumably WBCQ 5110-CUSB, UT Monday April 27 at 0301. Next:
Tue 1100 WRMI 9955
Wed 1315 WRMI 9955
Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v
Thu 0330 WRMI 9955 [or 1771 if ready in time]
Thu 1130 WRMI 9955 [or 1771; new time ex-1230!]

** U S A. 11825, Sunday April 26 at 2338, quick check of Global 24 via WRMI: jazz, so `From the Left`, while 5850 is yet again playing an old `Democracy Now` episode (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12050, April 27 at 1340, no signal from WEWN, but 11550 is on with Vatican relay in Spanish. After transmitter switcheroo:
13830, April 27 at 2130, no signal from WEWN Spanish but 12050 is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1030, April 27 at 1958 UT on caradio, tnx to absence of 1020 KOKP Perry semi-local, clear shot from KBUF Holcomb (Garden City) KS, ID after promo for `Southwest Kansas Focus`, Sundays at 10:05 am [1505 UT]. It`s 2.5 kW ND day; 1.2 kW night dirxional southwest when I never hear it. With a call like that, when it first appeared I guessed it was in Buffalo OK, just across the border (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. [Re DXLD 15-15:] I appreciate your webcasts for certain programs such as the 11 am block on weekdays. [1705v UT]
Including Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival --- and the Schubert Quintet is a great piece, which I am enjoying hearing again this Monday, i.e. exactly the same episode as aired two weeks ago (missed listening last week) --- then I did a bit of research and found that it was not from last year`s season, but from the 40th which was 2012!
So how come you are playing and replaying this same old episode, instead of the current series as released by WFMT? We would really like to hear a new one each week! Regards, Glenn Hauser, Enid OK (April 27, to Yellowstone Public Radio, via DXLD)
