RF 20, 19-1, KQCW-HD Muskogee for Tulsa No time to explore multi/sub channels for each, but rabbitears.info listings I have found to be quite accurate. As always my DTV DX is via Zenith set-top-box converter, fed by one antenna about 7 feet above roof peak, hi VHF/UHF only, reflector element slightly broken/hanging misaligned, fix-aimed SSE toward OKC, and no amp. Under dead condx it will not decode KETA 13, KOCM 16, KSBI 23. Besides not being on UHF, OETA`s problem is QRM from 2nd harmonic of local 107.1 KNID which falls within ch 13 on 214.2 MHz. I used to be able to get KETAs-13 by carefully placed rabbit ears, but not lately: something changed?? Several greater FM/TV antennas and rotors have not survived storms thru the years. Thus I cannot even try for lowband Es DTV DX; altho this antenna did once manage to DX KBSD RF6 Ensign KS by strong tropo so I do recheck for that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SLOVENIA. 18130 USB, June 11 at 22224, sounds like CR51DX, as in a Portuguese colony?

I`m bandscanning the entire 22-25 MHz range for anything at all other than hams which are propagating above and below, and this is all I hit. I`m hoping for some broadcast harmonix, but no luck yet. I showed in my Hunting Harmonics [sic] with Hauser column in NASWA FRENDX, SWBC harmonic ranges, but which would now be: 23000-24320 for 2 x 11 MHz band; 23200-24800 for 4 x 5/6 MHz band; 23750-25650 for 5 x 4/5 MHz band. 21600-23340 for 3 x extended 7 MHz band.

Maybe this have something to do with it: https://www.rbr.com/rocking-m-moves-forward-with-bankruptcy-reorganization/ ``Rocking M Moves Forward With Bankruptcy Reorganization By Adam Jacobson - March 29, 2022 Three years ago, a family feud of sorts ensued for Doris and Monte Miller. The longtime Kansas-based broadcasters dismissed two family members, son Christopher Miller and grandson Cale Miller, from the company. Then came barbs from Doris and Monte that Christopher Miller had unwisely expanded Rocking M Media?s holdings to 32 stations between 2008 and 2018, putting the finances in a difficult position. There was also a April 2019 deal that never closed, with Doris and Monte Miller seizing control and taking the stations dark. Today, Doris and Monte Miller are moving forward with a plan designed to ensure the family?s media holdings, which date to the 1880s, continue to generate profit while bringing luster back to a legacy that includes The A.Q. Miller Family School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Kansas State University, named after Monte?s father. Rocking M Media has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection. Update: On May 11, 2022, Rocking M Media filed paperwork with the FCC amending its licensee status to ?debtor in possession.?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.
