** ASCENSION. 6135, June 29 at 0532, JBA talk unID language in HSNL.
Could it be the Brasilian pirate, 24h per EiBi, R. Scalla FM? No, BBC
Hausa at 0530-0600 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 1610 kHz, June 29 at 0515 UT, song seems English, morphing
into Spanish? CHHA Toronto has the `clearest` channel in N America,
except for CHRN Montreal at 1/10 the power, and low-power USTIS. MW
propagation is hot tonight, too bad the storm noise (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 93.1, June 28 at 1604 UT, starting an Es FM DX bandscan
in the car, discover that K226BR, the dratted new translator of 1390
KCRC is on the air again after break of a few days, last heard June
23, stupid sports talk. Can only hope it`s temporary again. 1390 not
to mention its already relay on much more powerful 1640, hardly needs
another duplicate in same city with a much smaller coverage area. It`s
all because FM is the thing now - ``nobody listens to AM!``. Once it`s
on for good, not surprised if they start IDing only as 93.1 FM,
wagging. Ha! it`s off again at 1537 June 29. Bring on the Es (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, June 29 at 0110, very strong mono gospel huxter
makes me wonder if it`s not Bott`s KQCV Shawnee but Enid KOKJ-LP
activated? It`s not // 94.3, the Bott in KS, as currently on 94.3,
KSPI`s translator Stillwater is heard // 780. But at 0120, 94.3 //
95.1 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Another vain? search for Es FM DX instead
encounters some outlying stations, June 28 at 2006-2035 UT:
93.7 at 2007, sports talk about Hornets, Bobcats, Charlotte, weak but
steady. Surely not KSPI Stillwater which is rock. Aha, at 2023, it`s
overcome by dead air in $tereo: that must be KSPI which was also
deadairing a few days ago, and the only fit for nearby sports is:
K229DO relay of:KGHM 1340 93.7 MIDWEST CITY OK SPORTS 1340
THE GAME 202572 0.25 kW 0.0 m {sic HAAT} 35-29-58 97-30-33
112 km/70 stmi
106.9 at 2012, ``K-hits, Tulsa`s #1 music station``:
KHTT 106.9 MUSKOGEE OK CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO K-HITS 106.9 55704 74.5
kW 388.0 m 35-53-00 95-46-14 HD 247D K-HIT 106.9 K-Hits Tulsa's #1 Hit
Music Station Top 40 237 km/147 stmi
Like Enid is to OKC, Muskogee is to Tulsa, having its radio and TV
stations hijacked into the next larger market.
107.9 at 2013, ``from our Indigo Sky studios``: Indigo Sky Casino is
in Wyandotte OK, extreme NE corner of the state, and only this be
nearby in the 4-corners, clinched by this at 2030, ``Magic 107.9,
nothing artificial here``:
KEZA 107.9 FAYETTEVILLE AR ADULT CONTEMPORARY MAGIC 107.9 12702 99.0
kW 384.0 m 35-51-12 94-01-33 1D1A KEZA Magic 107.9 Soft Rock 335
km/208 st mi
87.9 at 2015, weak Mexmx in and out. The *only* USA 87.9 in the WTFDA
FMDB is unlikely it, and no Mexicans either, only Cayman Islands:
K200AA relay of:KAWZ 89.9 87.9 SUN VALLEY NV RELIGIOUS TEACHING CSN
INTERNATIONAL 83363 0.25 kW 0.0 m {sic HAAT} 39-30-06
119-44-10
Surely there be others, possibly piratical. Note: NOT audible on 87.7
so not a Franken FM on 87.75 - unless off-frequency. Or possibly a
nearby mobile RF feeder.
101.3 at 2027, ``K-101, today`s best country`` - normally would be
Wichita KFDI, remnant of 1070 AM, but not exactly, in this case?
KMCO 101.3 WILBURTON OK COUNTRY K-101 FM 37777 100.0 kW 188.0 m

km/177 stmi
107.5 at 2034, weak // 91.7 KOSU with `Hidden Brain`, so back on air
after transmitter replacement:
KOSN relay of:KOSU 91.7 107.5 KETCHUM OK NEWS/TALK/ADULT ALTERNATIVE
OKLAHOMA PUBLIC RADIO 36969 100.0 kW 299.0 m 36-46-13 95-27-07 36D9
KOSU Crazy Smart Radio News 256 km/159 stmi
Too weak to be sure, but since KOSU is totally MONO, surely KOSN is
too, not specified as such. KOSU has not replied to my inquiry about
no $tereo. However, on website, original notice about upcoming work
dated June 8 we quoted has not been updated, which said, ``We
anticipate the delivery of the new transmitter on or around June 16,
and work will begin immediately on its replacement`` - so maybe not
yet? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 17675-17680-17685, June 29 at 0534 S9 DRM noise,
per EiBi RRI in English at 0530-0600 via Tsiganeshti. Fortunately NZ
is finished with 17675 by 0458. Also: 17760 AM, June 29 at 0535, RRI
S8/S9 in English via Galbeni as sked 0530-0600 both for S Asia. Except
for 17790 Japan, SSOB, and many weaker signals on 16m tnx to the
Midnight Sun (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2353 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
June 28 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.994, S9+10 into nearby
Noale SDR. Only ID before it was for ``IRRS SW`` - NOT.

Also confirmed UT Monday June 29 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S3/S7 noisy
into S Texas SDR. Preceding preacher in Spanish faded down at 0029.5

Ecuador.
Also confirmed UT Monday June 29 from 0304 on Area 51 webcast; as WBCQ
5130- had to start signing off at 0300 sharp, whilst preceding `Lost

** U S A. 7505, June 29 at 0650, WRNO running late again, gospel
huxter in English at S9+25/35. EiBi shows 0100-0730 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 91.5, June 29 at 0107 UT, Smile FM DJ mentions getting into
the 8 o`clock hour, which is CDT here, but I thought this originated
at HQ in Michigan which is EDT. KSNS Medicine Lodge KS. WTFDA FMDB
shows 41 Smile FMs all over MI, mostly lower-powered, but a few
scattered elsewhere in OH, AR, FL, KS. Subslogan on most is
``Michigan`s Positive Hits`` - but not in KS so separate programming?
I never listen long enough to know. KSNS is always mono, not so
specified in FMDB; haven`t I outpointed that before? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 97.3, June 29 at 0115 UT, ``You rock because we rock, US
97``, after national adstring for several minutes, also plugging Joy
101 on iHeart. This is KXUS Springfield MO, 100 kW, the one which
really gets out. As for Joy 101, WTFDA FMDB finds six USA stations
from 100.9 to 101.9 with Joy in their names but not with ``101``, and
none around Springfield (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. DXMAP shows Es FM DX around New Mexico nexus, reaching into
OK, so to the car for bandscanning, June 29 at 1550:
100.3 at 1552, $, rock in & out; 1553 Ag-Spray Equipment ad, east of
Columbus on Hwy 30; McChristy Trucking?, columbuschamber.org, July 3
event at Egg? Park; Tractor House ad, (402) 923-1160; in Nebraska;
Hamilton County Fair; 1600 in $, ``...KZEN, Central City, Columbus,
Shelby``, ABC news about SCOTUS. Strangely, this is too close for Es,
in E Central NE W of Omaha, but nothing else unusual in multiple
complete bandscans; must be a tropo duct/pipeline. 1614 Wayne County

Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 760 kHz, June 29 at 0520 UT, Spanish music in
the mix with at least two in English, and another in Spanish? 0528,
``La Ley``. Still seeking to ID this. Slightly better on E/W loop than
N/S wire. But QRM is severe. By 0700 I am intently monitoring for TOH
full ID, after a Bott network station, and 0702 ``Radio La Ley``
mentioned more than once in heavily produced ID by super-hype voice
actor, but I heard NO callsign or location clue. If it`s not 10 kw ND
daytimer KMTL in Sherwood AR, what could it be? KMTL had been ``La
Raza`` but I`ve yet to see any solid confirmation by current day or
night monitoring that it still be that. Some other station
unexpectedly rebranded? The Bott of course, is KCCV Overland Park KS,
even if really only 200 watts at night vs WJR, enough to mess it up
here on the farside (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 869.6 kHz, June 29 at 0516 UT, het upon WWL. Nothing so
far off at mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
