The transmit antenna is the cross shaped 2 bay Scala FMO dipole at the very top and that yellow dish just below it is the STL for the now defunct KSKO 870, which was 10kw non directional full time. The tower still stands even though the AM has been off for 5 years. Space is leased to GCI for cell phone service on the old AM tower 2 miles south of town, and one of the reasons the AM went off and was replaced with low power FM repeaters is because the AM was (and now cell is) generator powered, at $5-6 a gallon. What spelled the end of the AM was back in 2013 or so when the barge couldn?t make it up river and gas ballooned to $8.50 a gallon. The class D repeaters KSKO has are in about half a dozen other villages fed by Barix boxes and satellite internet. Yes, milk, fruits/veggies and stuff is as expensive up here as you think. Yes it?s cold. I am still doing my other radio jobs via remote voicetracking, I'll continue Afternoons on Hits 106 KLMI Laramie, WY... I'll continue Sunday afternoons on WHGM Gold in MAryland and overnights on Local Radio Networks 24/7 Classic Country format. I have my icom 746pro and a longwire, a DXE Preamp, an Emtech ZM2 tuner and I have a loop on the way from Doxytronics for my DXing. I eventually plan on getting an SDR connected to the internet set up out here.

So then I go looking for Marconi Radio International: see EUROPE. However, rechecking for RNASG at 1614 finds it has now come on, an hour late, at S5-S7; 1735 talking about the pandemia; 1907 still on at S8-S9, ``?sta es una experiencia inolvidable``, presumably wintering in Antarctica; reading several greetings from listeners, or family? Altho quite a readable signal now, just barely visible on the waterfall, less even than 15190 Inconfid?ncia, much less than 15580 & 15730 VOA; 1910 song; 1911 IDs in Spanish, German, English (that it`s in Spanish), and another, sounds Korean but not a RAE language, on `Coraz?n Ant?rtico` show.. 2010 recheck still going with greetings; 2038 music; still past 2100. Concludes at 2133-2137* with ``Ant?rtida`` theme song and off without further sign-off. Hard to copy lyrix but includes ``hielo, hielo, y m?s hielo``. I recorded it and maybe will play it on WOR sometime? I also go searching for it. There are two or three Ant?rtida songs in Spanish, but none match this one.

Have not heard them at later dayparts nor seen many other reports, so wonder if active mornings only. Manuel M?ndez, Spain, who discovered them back Oct 27 until at least 0905, says they cut off at 0737 Oct 28. Dave Kenny replied on the WOR iog, ``Great to have Guinea back on SW. I first noted it back on 9650 kHz at 1710 tune-in on Friday 23rd October, during the recent Sheigra [Scotland] DXpedition``. Beware of North Korea on 9650, but per Arnulf does not start until 0730, all in Japanese until 1317v and also 2130-2417v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Oct 31 at 2357, SFX, 2358 countdown, Nov 1 at 0007 frenetic; 0042 still going but weaker. These say it`s Radio 48: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,73666.0.html It has been the only station audible here on this pirate band, despite lots of others reported at HFU, as expected for Hallowe`en. In fact Chris Gay in KY told the WOR iog he was getting 5 pirates in the 6900s before 2130. This further reinforces my conclusion that the great majority of these pirates are well east of the Mississippi, and for some reason few of them like to run late into the night when propagation further west might be better (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Oct 31 by 1600 UT, KUCO has solved its fibre-optic feed problem and is back on air modulating as well as webcasting, in time for `The Score`, one of my favorites, cinemusic. Perhaps they should consider a backup setup, like a plain old 900-MHz STL transmitter. Webcasting should not have been interrupted either (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SLOVENIA. 18130-USB, Oct 31 at 1450, S51DX calling QRZ and CQ: per https://www.qrz.com/lookup/s51dx ``S51DX Slovenia flag Slovenia, JANEZ CELARC, Susnikova cesta 9, 1360 VRHNIKA, Slovenia`` --- Also refers us to his own: http://www.qsl.net/s51dx/index.html Not much else on ``17`` m.

The picture would make a great QSL card! No wonder you are interested in seeing my QSL. I will post it as soon as I can move the stuff, so I can get to the file cabinet. I am rearranging my DX Room, as I had it for storage for the last 4-5 years. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ________________________________ From: i...@groups.io <i...@groups.io> on behalf of Paul B.

Some of you either figured out what was up or I told you directly for one reason or another I?m now the program director for KSKO-FM 89.5 McGrath, Alaska. 90 watts at -81 feet. The transmit antenna is the cross shaped 2 bay Scala FMO dipole at the very top and that yellow dish just below it is the STL for the now defunct KSKO 870, which was 10kw non directional full time. The tower still stands even though the AM has been off for 5 years. Space is leased to GCI for cell phone service on the old AM tower 2 miles south of town, and one of the reasons the AM went off and was replaced with low power FM repeaters is because the AM was (and now cell is) generator powered, at $5-6 a gallon. What spelled the end of the AM was back in 2013 or so when the barge couldn?t make it up river and gas ballooned to $8.50 a gallon. The class D repeaters KSKO has are in about half a dozen other villages fed by Barix boxes and satellite internet. Yes, milk, fruits/veggies and stuff is as expensive up here as you think. Yes it?s cold. I am still doing my other radio jobs via remote voicetracking, I'll continue Afternoons on Hits 106 KLMI Laramie, WY... I'll continue Sunday afternoons on WHGM Gold in MAryland and overnights on Local Radio Networks 24/7 Classic Country format. I have my icom 746pro and a longwire, a DXE Preamp, an Emtech ZM2 tuner and I have a loop on the way from Doxytronics for my DXing. I eventually plan on getting an SDR connected to the internet set up out here. Paul _._,_._,_ ________________________________ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
