At equal levels. One is from BizTalk network, which I wasn`t aware they carried. The second audio sometimes has pauses, like other side of phone conversation unheard, and sometimes sounds like somebody left his (produxion?) mike open + on the air with comments not intended for broadcast. Between errand stops, rechex at 2035 UT and 2044 UT find the doubletalk still emitting! No one at station listening to itself. Don`t know for how much longer. One promo still uses slogan ``Kommunity TaLk Radio``, tho KTLR originally stands for Tyler Media, the conglomerate in OK which has bought up lots of radio and TV stations around Oklahoma City, including even KOKC & KOMA. BTW, 1520 KOKC is registering only S9 on the N-S antenna, but 890 KTLR is S9+32: lower-frequency advantage with only 1 kW ND, compared to 1520 with QRP of 10 kW ND. Here`s the 890 program schedule showing BTR weekdays from 1 pm to sign-off (Jan: 5:45 pm CST), and various other times on weekends. Some blox mixed in are in Spanish: http://www.ktlr.com/engine/emw.exe/*qshome=home&st=561&rec=4&kw=news&parm=4&trec=2&lktype=6&snum=1 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1120, Jan 19 at 2048 UT on caradio, KETU briefly with double audio, announcements mixing, Tulsa ads, 2049 UT, ``11-20 La Diferente``.

K252DT will rebroadcast Spanish Christian "Radio Victory" 1120 KETU Catoosa/Tulsa OK (Radio Insight via Shawn Axelrod VE4DX1SMA, Winnipeg MB Canada, Jan 15, NRC-AM via DXLD)`` I haven`t been able to find it on radioinsight.com and KETU has not called itself Radio Victoria, nor been religious for over a year. This may come as a surprise to the Seneca translator? Was someone reporting this relying on outdated info? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 4618-USB, Jan 20 at 0111, MARS net, name seems ``Shares(?) Northern``, with AFA7FC NCS making calls, then NNB4DW at 0112, but no answers so ``the net is free``. Then NNB4DW makes some more calls. I guess this new-style N-call is successor to defunct Navy MARS, now ``shared`` with Air Force? Calls given fonetikaly. But no hits on NNB4DW search other than for license plates! AFA7FC is Bill Glynn, state MARS director for Kansas. First searches on that lead to HTML hex colors until I add MARS. 3299-USB, Jan 20 at 0117, another AF MARS net, designated SEM1, AFF4FL calling stations in South Carolina; then a much weaker station doing the same. Then calling Tennessee, with multiple answers talking over each other, including AFA4RW who is in Tennessee. AFF4FL is FLORIDA STATE MARS DIRECTOR WILLIAM (BILL) MATZINGER (a.k.a. AFA4RA). 3390.5-USB, Jan 20 at 0120, yet another AF MARS net but too weak to copy much.

At 0151 with Scott Becker on the phone from Kiowa KS, inviting new business for WBCQ to his phone and e-mail address; also mentions someone involved in putting 97.5 KPAK (Alva OK) on the air. Then they promote Art Bell about to start on WBCQ on the nineteenth. Oops, this was from last summer, 19 July, somewhat outdated! As Bell has come and gone from WBCQ even before he was gone from the other stations. Also it`s happy birthday to Allan. 01-02 UT Wed is another hour still on the 7490 schedule for Rabbi Yaakov Spivak, missing again, or is he off WBCQ completely?

Although listed as only a 1 kW transmitter into a non-directional antenna from its location in Port Moresby, it is quite amazing how this tiny station can be heard as far away as Japan, USA and Europe. I think it may have been Hiroyuki Komatsubara who was the first to note the return of WRL, quickly followed by Ron Howard in California, Mauno Ritola in Finland, Bryan Clark in New Zealand, and myself. Here's Ron's first notes on his reception: WRL Studio 7324.96, Wantok Radio Light (presumed). Thanks very much to Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan) for the alert that WRL has reactivated after being off the air for some time now; Jan 10 with several openings with CRI off the air. 1257-1258 heard religious song; this opening is usually 1, 2 or 3 minutes long. After 1357 (CRI sign off time) heard very weak signal clearly off frequency as usual; by 1413 had definite religious songs; 1418 tentative ID and back to religious music; 1424 CRI transmitter turned on covering WRL. Nice to have them back on the air again! (Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA, Et?n E1, antenna: 100' long wire). WRL QSL Card >From Bryan Clark in New Zealand: Thanks Ron and Hiro. Heard fading in here around 0800 UTC today and quite readable by 0830. I'm thinking their frequency may be a little lower than when I last logged them? Bryan, Mangawhai - NZ. >From Mauno Ritola in Finland: Yes, also here with readable signal now at CRI break 1400. Measured 7324.942 kHz, so lower as you say. 73, Mauno, Joensuu, Finland Then several days later, I noted it in my early morning: 7324.94 PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Wantok Radio Light - Port Moresby (presumed). Heard in the 30 min gap between CRI's s/off at 1930 and s/on at 2000. The carrier was fairly strong but the audio was quite low at times. Programming consisted of continuous slow music (possibly religious songs, some with church organ accompaniment) but no anncts for the whole half hour monitored. I could still it through CRI's dead-air carrier switch on at 1957, and it could be heard faintly under CRI's Serbian service till about 2015 when it faded due to the daylight path between PNG and Mount Evelyn, Jan 15. 73, Rob VK3BVW Three days ago, Ron reported again: 7324.94, Wantok Radio Light, 0740-0945, Jan 16. Started poor and slowly improved, but never reached the level of steady readability; only able to pick out a few words here and there. At times hard to be positive of the language, due to Pidgin using so many English words. The spoken modulation seemed rather low, whereas the music was better. No QRM the whole time. 0740-0800: DJ playing religious songs, along with messages & dedications. 0800-0810: News & weather in English (did not sound like NBC news?). 0810-0823: Religious songs (0815 ID). 0823: Announcer with brief religious spot in English. 0826-0835: More religious music (0829 ID). 0835-0855: Religious preaching in Pidgin/Tok Pisin. 0901-0903: Brief news in English; not the full NBC news that I often heard in the past; followed my more music. 0934-0942: In English; unable to make out what he was talking about? https://app.box.com/s/2tb4b7e16tukn4o85ay3pnqg723wflo0contains my poor quality audio. (Ron) And then again earlier today from Ron: 7324.94, Wantok Radio Light. Jan 19 with decent signal strength 0813-0957, but with moderately strong OTH radar QRM till that stopped at 0939*. Highlights: 0825-0845: Syndicated USA program "Fresh Touch"; preaching in English; ending the show with request for listeners to write c/o "Wantok Radio Light, P.O. Box 1273, Port Moresby." http://www.freshtouch.org/ . >From 2011 till early 2015, this time slot was always taken by the programs of Dr. Tayo Adeyemi (New Wine Church, England), but perhaps as he died in 2013, WRL finally decided to drop his shows and replace this time period with the "Fresh Touch" program. Based upon my observations, believe the WRL website program schedule has not been updated in a long time! http://www.wantokradio.org/radioprograms.html. 0845-0901: In Pidgin/Tok Pisin; ID, frequencies, time check, etc. 0901-0912: PNG bird call, into the NBC National News in English; item about mining in PNG. 0912: Sounded like the usual thank you announcement ("Wantok Radio Light Ministries thanks the National Broadcasting Corporation for allowing us to relay the daily news bulletin. Join us at 7 AM for the next NBC National News?). 0912-0913: advertisement for "NASFUND" savings, "Your Partner in Superannuation." 0933: In progress with the syndicated USA program "Focus on the Family"; interview with Mary Flo Ridley about her books on parenting; presented with John Fuller and Jim Daly. 0954: Ending "Focus on the Family" with a promotional spot from their sponsor - "Ninety-Nine Ltd." 0957: CRI transmitter turned on, blocking WRL. (Ron) No doubt, others have noted the return of this station. If you have, why not let us know here at MEDXR? We'd love to hear from you!

(Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA, Et?n E1, antenna: 100' long wire, dxldyg via WORLD OF RADIO 1808, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Ron and all, No hint of a carrier here, and as I type there is a good greyline path, so not 24 hours as previously listed. Will try about 0800z tomorrow (Mark, Anglesey, 1949 UT Jan 11, ibid.) Hi Mark, Yes, please try at 0800+. Please note the following updated info. 7324.94, Wantok Radio Light (presumed). Jan 11 was a repeat of yesterday's log; very poor/very weak, but able to make out the religious music; 1357-1402 announcers; 1402-1424 music. Thanks again to Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan) for the alert, as he first heard them Jan 9 at 1411. Mauno Ritola measured 7324.942 kHz, so slightly lower that when last on the air. This new slight change was also noted by Bryan Clark in New Zealand - "Heard fading in here around 0800 UT today [Jan 11] and quite readable by 0830. I'm thinking their frequency may be a little lower than when I last logged them?" and Mauno confirmed. Thanks for everyone's feedback! (Ron Howard, California, dxldyg via WORLD OF RADIO 1808, DX LISTENING DIGEST) And also did check 7325 on Japanese and Brisbane remotes, except the big fat Chinese on even fq was on air, I couldn't see any 2nd/further string on 7325 lower sideband neither (Wolfgang B?schel, Germany, circa 1100-1300 UT Jan 11, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 7325-, Jan 11 at 1255, CRI Japanese with a JBA carrier under slightly offset, presumed Wantok Radio Light, reported by Ron Howard to have reactivated yesterday after many months. As he said, CRI takes a break at 1257-1259, and during that the JBA carrier is indeed barely detectable, in fact more evident by the beat it makes with CRI when it comes back on weaker at 1259, having changed from Jihnua to Xian site. Another longer window starts at 1357* of CRI, but again not enough signal left of WRL to make anything out of it.

Following this report in AM Switch of NRC DX News Dec 28: ``1480 KBXD TX Dallas ? Silent Dec. 17, 2014; on the air Dec. 10`` With what programming? I`m looking for KBXD, but have seen no other reports of it and have been unable to hear it myself on several chex in January, such as Jan 20 at 1354 UT. Now the dominant signal day and night continues to be KQAM Wichita. That`s because the next NRC DX News of January 11 reported: ``1480 KBXD TX Dallas ? Had been back on the air Dec. 10; silent again Dec. 21 to replace transmitter and hopes to be back on the air within 30 days`` So was that the old transmitter Dec 10-21? It used to make a fast SAH with KQAM. Possibly it was this along with another unID log on 1480: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 1480, Dec 6 at 0126 UT, as I tune in, ID as ``1480 WGRA`` or maybe WGRE --- but there is no such station listed by NRC or FCC on 1480, nor any fuzzily similar call. Lots of QRM, maybe a music station vs all the talk stations. Also a low rumbling het from somebody too far off-frequency.
