** ANTARCTICA [non]. 15474.728, Fri June 14 at 1459 past 1500, JBA carrier at S4/S7 into LU5AGQ remote in Argentina, and no sign of LRA36 15475.98 RC USB if it`s still on as scheduled. The spoiler is UZBEKISTAN site with Furusato no Kaze for Korea North (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BARBADOS. 28436 USB, June 14 at 2203, 8P5KM, calling CQ Parx on the Air and working mostly UStations, and a ZL. Hard to copy his call correctly: penultimate letter fonetik sounded like sierra or zulu? must have been kilo as per dxheat contacts on same frequency; also uttering ``BB0013``. Neither SM nor ZM in QRZ.com, but 8P5KM is not either! QRZ.com of course is voluntary and unofficial but it`s rare to hear a station yet unfound there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140 & 11760, June 14 at 1450, both possible RHC frequencies are NOT on the air. Someething`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, June 13 at 1901 UT check on caradio, KIMY Watonga is *still* dead air in $tereo, that is about 23 hours since I first noticed it June 12 at 2019. AND, **still** dead air in $tereo June 14 at 1528, and 2052; and 2215 when I get RDS display of THE_____ / GOSPEL__ / STATION_. Of course I have not monitored constantly, but no reason to believe they were ever modulating for the last 51 hours at least and no telling how long before that. IMHO, a station so incompetent as to broadcast nothing for such a stretch deserves to have its license revoked, so something else can make better use of the spectrum! OTOH, the less gospel-huxtering on OUR AIR, the better. FYI, spelling $tereo with a dollar sign has no financial implication, just a convention stemming from the late Bruce Elving`s FM Atlases, a single $ synbol in listings (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 27, 43-1, June 14 at 2330, KAUT supposed to be carrying NBC Nightly [sic] News, shunted from an hour earlier on its primary station KFOR with stupid ballgame preemption. Instead until 2336 we see color bars and a CW network feed with UT timer to the fraxion of a second abottom. 2336 briefly switches to KFOR slide, back to CW, and floating white square to prove it hasn`t frozen, Also labeled: Primary G19, Transponder 15, Service 1 Secondary G35, Transponder 20, Service 1 Along with tone. Still past 2344 with occasional interruptions. 2345 finally starts some sitcom, not any NBC NN, tsk2. First noted this on Optimum cable ch 2, then direct via antenna, KAUT`s primary RF channel is 19 but it`s one of few ATSC 3.0 stations, invisible here. Rabbitears.info shows orginary ATSC of KAUT is really RF 27.5 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, June 14 at 2200, token English from SNR, again MQ only, preview interview with editor of Madrid Review, and then some special event coming up on June 14; news, S9+30/40 direct, and the other three also audible, 17715, 15520, 15390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 14 at 2159, VOT IS, S9+10 direct but too much noise. At 2236 into UTwente when measured, S9+25/35, music; 2237 `That`s Why` repeat on how a serpent became the symbol for medicine: wish I could follow what Ms Badax is trying to enunciate; 2244 music; 2248 ``Always-by-your-side`` promo; 2249 music; 2253 s/off by the OM ignoring SW; 2254.6 IS a couple times and off shortly before 2253* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2247 monitoring: confirmed Friday June 14 at 2057 the 2030 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz, S9+15 into nearby Noale SDR. Not confirmed Fri June 14 at 2057 the 2030 on WRMI webcast only as still on System B sked: music, instead. Confirmed Friday June 14 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, first SW broadcast, S9+10/20 direct but seems undermodulated; no jamming audible. Also confirmed Friday June 14 at 2232 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 3975.003, S9+5 into UTwente. WOR confirmed UT Friday June 14 2229-2234 on World FM mp3 stream, New Zealand, but I think it was old 2246 not 2247. Stations should hasten to get new WOR on air ASAP as there may be some perishable info.

I`m listening to 3265+. Sweetheart/Darlin`, is not to be heard at first from remote, fiddling with patch bay. Admits a while since a live shew, normal spring/summer hiatus, tremendously busy; his birthday 71 was June 12. ``The whole world is being rigged for World War III`` -- we can`t do this, got to stop it. Gotta get a landslide going, like in EU leaning more to ``common sense``. So it`s going to be all or mostly politix. By 0011 has drifted down to 3265.158. Credits Angela with ``saving my life``. *rump will keep America from going Communist. [yeah, right, rather Fascist]. As usual, Angela sounds even more radical as she yells over the phone, from Fla? WBCQ has a SW receiving-room, radios set up to feed into mixing board in case they have to relay something else with no other programming available. 0025 datestamp at 14 of June 2024, simulcasting on 3265 and 7490. Later he delusions that *rump back in the WH will call Putin and Zelenskiy and tell them to end the war; that`s that. ``Creatures like Biden and Trudeau are treasonous, communist bastards, must be removed``, he imagines. Joins Hal Turner a sesquiminute late (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 96.7, June 14 at 1530 UT, ``Sports Radio 96.7 and 1310, The Ticket`` from DFW Metroplex market is strong enough briefly to unsee any $tereo icon, i.e. talk format is in mono. FYI, $tereo instead of mono automatically reduces the full-quieting coverage area of an FM station; by what percentage? This is 90/90 kW KTCK-FM. NOT flagged as Mono mode in WTFDA FM Database. Some talk stations stay in $tereo anyway, since some receivers used to ignore mere mono stations; is this still a problem? And occasional $tereo music in commercials, etc., really stands out. Lacking any sporadic E FM DX, also noticed in this caradio bandscan, June 14 at 1535 UT, the Bott station on 94.3 west of Wichita in Kansas is also in mono, i.e. KCVW 100/100 kW in Kingman, not flagged mono in WTFDA FMDB. Are all Bott FMs in mono? Need to check 95.1 KQCV 100/100 kW ``Shawnee`` = OKC. Searching Slogan field, there are 112 Bott hits in the DB, many of them translators, not a single one `mono` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 14 at 0648, NO signal from R. Vanuatu, third night in a row. What`s the problem now?
