** CANADA. 6754 USB, Aug 15 at 2317, CHR already on night frequency, Trenton Military ID at 2318 with mis-time as 2315Z (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) Another CHR? See OKLAHOMA
** FRANCE. 7340, Aug 16 at *1500, S6/S8 into UTwente, carrier cuts on with pulsing like bubble jamming, transmitter defect, gradually into Mini-Atlantique theme music, 1502 M in French with marine weather for boatrace. Again NO signal into Azores on former // 17545. I suppose these will resume in Sept/Oct for the bigger race to Guadeloupe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 780, Aug 15 at 2319 UT, KSPI Stillwater is OFF, as often the case long before this daytimer`s local sunset. Presumably still ``translated`` on ``Pete 94.3`` which sometimes I can hear depending on how strong the CCI from Kansas be. The real KSPI-FM, with totally different programming at full 16 kW power is always audible on ``Hot 93.7`` --- not to be confused with ``Hot Country 93.7`` = KAIR Horton KS, nor another Hot 93.7, WZMX Hartford CT. But to it, Hot means Rhythmic CHR, while to KSPI it`s merely Hot AC. Isn`t all pop music rhythmic in one way or another? And what exactly is the dividing line between CHR and AC? If you thought CHR means contemporary hit radio, no, per NRC AM Log it means ``Top 40 Rock`` while AC is ``Adult Contemporary current hits``. So CHR is not for adults? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11970, Aug 15 at 2314, S9/+10 in Spanish about natación = swimming; it`s RRI, one of few signals from Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11660.023+, Sun Aug 16 at 1637, VOT English, S9+5/20 into UTwente. Tough copy this time, constant squeal which will not be notched because is not het but rather in own modulation equally LSB/USB. Narrow bandwidth less than 5 kHz helps a bit, but needs less that 2.5 kHz to get rid of it completely. There is also a low hum/roar to make it even worse. News by Efsun always hard to understand even with clear reception. 1643 music. They now identify the tunes, even if we can`t understand it. 1649 `Letterbox` starts with theme, Cemre hosts. Something about 10th of August. 1) Mr Francis --?, Dublin, listens on balcony. 2) India, Annan Bane, pres of SWL club which started 15 Aug 1990; will continue contests, mentions FDCs. 3) Finland, Tampere? 4) could not even catch location. Now it`s 1700: 5) W Bengal, Mr Namajadeen or something like that, with a listeners club. 6) Someone with an SWL QSL museum online, *warning* about severe QRM to the 2030 English on 9875 - per EiBi that would be North Korea. What do you bet TRT do nothing about it? 1705 closing and theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2360 monitoring: confirmed Saturday August 15 from 1930.7 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 6160.001-, S9/+20 and 3974.999-, S9+10/15 into UTwente. Last week something else ran. Not confirmed the 1930v Saturday August 15 from WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, no signal above summer noiselevel into the 5 closest SDRs, nor around 2000; but likely did air. Not confirmed Saturday August 15 at 1930 on WRN via WRMI, since 9395 is still off the air! Ditto at 2100, so that`s three 9395 airings missed today. 9395 however on the air by 2315 with a preacher from Australia. Confirmed Saturday August 15 at 1930 on WRN North America stream; and at 2000 on WRN Europe stream. Also confirmed Saturday August 15 at 2334 the 2330 on IRRS/IPAR/NEXUS/IBA webcast only.

The Sun Aug 16 at 0930 on IRRS SW via Romania on 9510 not audible direct during a momentary wakeup; zzzzz thru the 1030s on WRMI 9395 & 7780. Also confirmed Sunday August 16 at 1900.2 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.994, S8 into UTwente. Next: 2000 UT Sunday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323; 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 6160; 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 15770: Note, Wavescan still on sked, but last week Richard Lemke reported hearing WOR; perhaps unnotified replacement for Sat 2230; and also 17790? 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 9455 to NW; 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW; 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 6160; 2330 UT Monday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5850 to NW; 1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 2000 UT Tuesday IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323; 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast]; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 6160; 2330 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 6160; 2330 UT Thursday WRMI 5950 to NNW.

About some program via Taiwan at 02-04 on 5995 = daytime. Nothing then in EiBi or Aoki. Catching up on mailbag with Malik from Pakistan. Also // much weaker 17790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 780, UT Sun Aug 16 at 0538, WBBM with `Stardate`, as runs approx. an hour earlier than Tue-Sat at 0640 UT. Likewise UT Mon? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130 kHz, Aug 16 at 0559 UT, no signal from KLEY - or rather no modulation, because ID fires at 0600 UT for ``Thunder Country, KLEY 1130 Wellington and KKLE 1550 Winfield``; and into music. 1130 is certainly not *one watt* as licensed rather than 250 watt day-power. The excellent new NRC AM Log for 2026-2027y, compiled by Wayne Heinen, received Aug 14 does not show these two as // or even related. The KKLE 1550 entry shows it in the group ``The Rock of Kansas`` and TRoK entry on page 285 does not include KLEY, just 1340 KSEK and 4 FMs. It does have 1130 KLEY as ``Thunder Country`` along with translator on 104.1 which is totally blocked here by OKC. I seldom hear 1550 KKLE at night, which is U1 250/52 watts. However, Aug 16 at 1618, KKLE is audible and *not* // 1130 with different musix. So maybe they join only overnight when KLEY is cheating? Radio-locator.com does show both owned by My Town Media, but 1550 as ``Bluegrass Express``, It also shows KLEY Wellington with an address in Wichita, but KKLE Winfield with an address in Wellington! All this needs a *lot* of unravelling (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 1957 UT August 16 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
