Logs
** BRAZIL. 11780, UT Tue July 8 at 0151, RNB in English with basic
propagation info on MW/GW coverage vs up to 2000 km at night; 0153
already closing credits, outro ID as RNB IS, 0154 Spanish with heavy
Braccent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, July 8 at 0214, R. Rebelde is off; when on,
unpredictably, has seemed quite weak and Wolfgang Bueschel agrees must
be on much reduced power.

4765, July 8 at 0215, however, R. Progreso is on at S9+30/40 with
music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 13605, 11930, 11860, 9565, Mon July 7 at 2203, no
signals from R. Martí but had been on earlier, after weekend break

** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, July 7 at 2159, JBA carrier so RNZP must be on

0559? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715 S9+10/20 // 15500 S9+10/20 too but 17715 sounds
stronger and less noisy even tho for SAm not NAm, while 15520 is S8/9
and 15390 JBA, all direct, Monday July 7 at 2200 for token English
from SNR. Lead preview, 9 days of festivities including
RunningoftheBulls at Pamplona; big demonstration from 250K to 1
Megaperson about LGBTIQ [sic] rights and anniversary of same-sex
marriage legalization in Spain: which REE is really making a big deal
of, gay-friendly. I can`t imagine VOT e.g. doing that. 2210 interview
an author about being an immigrant in Madrid which she refers to as
`her` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, July 7 at 2200, 2208 chex, NO signal direct from VOT
English to N America; nor even unto UTwente at 2230, nor

Monday, July 07 2025

Logs
** CHINA [and non]. 7325, July 7 at 1456, JBA carrier, only BC sig on
band besides 7490 WWCR about to close, NZ if on 7440 inaudible. Aoki &
EiBi show CRI in many languages from many sites, but at 1430-1457
Filipino/Tagalog via Nanning 954; and 1500-1557 English to SE Asia via
Beijing 572 site, probably the latter already (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, July 7 at 0527, S9+20/30 of dead air, no doubt RHC
where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. R. Martí: see U S A

** GERMANY [and non]. 9670, Sun July 6 at 2300-2400 is time for Texas
Radio SW to North America via Channel 292. But no signal into Georgia
SDR, so I resort to UTwente where it`s S5/S9 but with very deep
fadedowns to almost nothing. Albert Collins music this time. `YROT`
theme starts it, intro by YL voice. 2312 blues guitar. 2334 ID and QSL
offer, more music, until covered by BBC at *2358, on earlier than
necessary. Not in Aoki but EiBi: BBC via UZBEKISTAN at 00-02 making
9670 useless for C292 during that bihour+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. 918 kHz: since WOR was here instead of 1323, Sunday at 1900,
I wonder if 918 has replaced 1323 thruout? AFAIK, 918 had not been
used for over a year. NEXUS sked still shows 1323 starting at 1800 UT;
at 1610 July 7, neither is on into nearby Noale SDR. By 1848 it`s
timed out but one of the Parmas *is* getting English religion on 918,
also JBA on 1323, not 207 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 15720, July 7 at 0525, RNZP in English, S9/+25, the
SSOB and almost the OSOB > 15770 WRMI. NZ not on 19m at this hour in a
long time, but this is their favorite frequency; instead of 17675,
maybe due to lower winter daytime MUF? Not on any second channel now,
13690, 11725 or 9700. But at 0602 is on 11725 only. Own sked still
claims 17675 at 2059-0558, with 15720 only at
1955/1959-2058
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWAZILAND. 9585, Mon July 7 at 1453, S3/S4 TWR IS and IDs in
English as Eswátini. At this hour likely longpath across Indian &
Pacific Oceans. Aoki shows M-F 1420-1443 in Lom, and 1455-1525 in Mal.
While EiBi M-F 1400-1443 in LO to MOZ, 1455-1525 in MSY to MDG. That`s
Lomwe/Ngulu spoken by a sesquimegaperson in Mozambique, and Malagasy
spoken by 16M (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)                           

** TURKEY. 11785.004-, July 6 at 2204 check, VOT not off the air,
S9+20/35 into UTwente, but I already heard `Letterbox` on the 1830
broadcast on 9750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11930 S5 & 11860 JBA, July 7 at 1450, Spanish from RHC
resuming on this Monday, and shortly also 13605 at S6 in Spanish. No
sign of jamming yet. Three transmitters restored in Grimesland; why
not more VOA at other hours? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2302 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
July 6 at 2100 on WRMI 15770, S7 into Maryland SDR, and not on 7730.

Also confirmed Sunday July 6 at 2156 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.001+ S9+10/20 and 3975.002+ S7/9+20 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday July 6 at 2336 the 2330 on WRMI 9455, S7/9+10
into Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 7 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+20 into south
TX SDR.

Not confirmed UT Monday July 7 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast: JL gotta go
at that time but 5130 at S9 into NH SDR & webcast continued with music
until 5130 s/off at 0305-0306*; but still music on stream including
`Pinball Wizard` at 0311, more rock music past 0319. Gave up
rechecking at 0344.

Next:
1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
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 1323v and/or 918 kHz;
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, July 7 at 1452, JBA carrier, so R. Vanuatu at this
unusual hour?                                                  EiBi
shows nothing else on 9960 but RV at 0659-1105 & 1830-0659; Aoki
breaks into three segments: 1959-2158, 2159-0658, 0958-1102. They are
very flexible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, July 7 at 1455, mystery open carrier ending in
-6 at S4. Also stronger 9936.0 July 7 circa 0530/0600 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11965, July 6 at 2155 some very strong talk when I
brought up a remote, Georgia? still tuned to 11960 for yesterday`s
DRM, with huge splash from above, but off in a few sex. Worthy of MWV
African Pathways Radio, but is sked an hour earlier at 2000-2100,
nothing later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** CANADA [and non]. Another huge sporadic E FM DX opening July 4!
Already in progress when I join at 1507 UT. DXMAP showed MUF spikes
around 150 MHz, and multiple paths across central/eastern US almost 
solid red! A major nexus around Chicago but does not account for my 
western Canada catches. 

I`m DXing the old-fashioned way which I find quite enjoyable and
sufficient. All logs are on my own receiver in real time; no mass
recording of entire band to sift thru later, nor any recording; the
only thing I wish I had is RDS, lacking from my 2004 Nissan Sentra
caradio. I recently tried to get some RDS by handling the DX-398 in
the car, but it slipped and broke the antenna! More or less repaired
now. 

No internet access during the sessions, but plenty later as I
research. No antenna manipulation, as it`s just the vertical on the
fender - and of course, minimal antenna gain. I scribble copious notes
and can read most of them later. All times and dates strictly UT. This
session is in a way *too much* DX - almost all frequencies have at
least two DX stations vying for capture, back and forth, and/or
spoiler fringers. Log items under a single heading may well concern
more than one station, can`t tell them apart, marked CCI. How do these
affect my totals? Altho I was once a Statistics Editor, I no longer
care, which frees me from competition with anyone or myself. I am more
interested in quality than quantity of logs : each one a potential
learning experience. PTA = probable target area. Distances at end of
each item are km/statute miles, city-to-city, so approx., not
site-to-site, from distancefromto.net To save time & trouble, I`ll not
repeat those for same stations further down

Friday July 4, 2025:

87.7+ at 1507 start: sports talk about football in English: obviously
one of those LP TV stations pretending to be FM radio, and probably
really on 87.74, 87.75 or 87.76 MHz, but the caradio of course cannot
tune that finely. On a hunch I compare it to my local 1640 KZLS and
find it matches, but not synch. Unlike the `real` FM stations, this
one never has any QRM, and spot chex later find it still there for
quite a while, but I never hear an ID or local ads. WTFDA FMDB has
only 14 -LD stations on ``87.7`` of which only one is sports, and Fox,
and in the PTA as soon becomes evident. In fact there are no others in
NE USA except for NYC:
WQSE-LD Syracuse NY 2.75 kW -65 m = BELOW average terrain making this
catch all the sweeter. Its slogan is supposedly `Fox Sports 92.5 &
1490``, i.e. WOLF. Since they have a real FM on 92.5, not clear why
they need 87.7+. I wonder what video one could see 4.5 MHz lower?
1993/1239

{After an earlier post of this full report on the WTFDA FM list, a
reply:
``Glenn, It's pronounced "Honey - Oy". It would only mention that at
ID time, otherwise covers the Rochester market.

Typo, I think, WOLF is 92.1 not 92.5. I had it today overriding WYSL
92.1 with a solid HD signal from the Syracuse area. Good tropo to the
east today from here. WCNY 91.3 Syracuse with a solid HD signal,
usually blocked by WXXO 91.5 in Rochester. WXXI is now on 105.9. They
felt that WXXI was more of a news brand when they acquired 105.9, so
WXXO is now the classical. WXXI 1370 still exists, but I bet they
unload it at some point. It's probably not worth much to sell, so I
expect more religious saturation.  

I also had Thunder Country 93.5 as a last gasp in the opening around
1830z. Actually the last gasp was Sidney MT 93.1. A relog, but maybe
my furthest single hop FM signal. I think your logic on the NY
stations is sound. 

My report for July 4 will include short hop KY, long hop MT, but
mostly TN LA TX OK KS MO MN. I recorded as I tuned around. Have to
review that. 5 hours of recordings, 2 of which were 90.9 recorded
while I was attending an anti-fuehrer protest in Batavia. Jim Renfrew,
Clarendon NY``}

93.1 at 1516: ``93-Q.com``; CCI. Fortune Valley Golf Club and 5 others
in NY for a single ticket? Big Lots ad, Oswego; McGuire? Automotive.
Oswego is near Syracuse on Lake Ontario. And the only full power
non-translator in NY on 93.1 is: WNTQ, Syracuse, 97.0 kW, 201 m, 93 Q
or 93Q. Fortune Valley Golf Club gets no hits in NY or elsewhere tho
there are Fortune Valley otherthings along the Hudson and in Colorado.
And a Fortune something in Tulsa but this is not 92.9! 1993/1239

92.9 at 1521: ad mentions Ithaca, Canandaigua, Home Depot special
buys, `hard` ice tea, i.e. with alcohol; Buffalo, Niagara Falls; 1524
Misty City Music Festival; ``Buffalo`s Real Rock, 92-9 WBUF``. Ithaca
is SSW of Syracuse, Canandaigua WSW of Syracuse, further from Buffalo.
N.F. of course is near Buffalo. Is there another 92.9 besides WBUF?
Not really, a religious translator in Rochester is closest. 1775/1103

94.1 at 1527: classical, $ , recognized as ``Scheherazade`` by
Rimsky-Korsakov, a tremendously beautiful piece. Only 3 USA format
hits, translators or lowpower in OR, WA, WY. I bet it`s CBC! It`s
Undefined, Variety, CBC Music, but no mention of classical! CBL-FM
Toronto 38 kW, 420 m. 1764/1096

94.5 at 1528: hard rock, $ ; 1531 Y-94, iHeart radio app plug. Hits in
slogan field only as Y 94 with a space, altho Y94 elsewhere for this
entry only in the PTA:
WYYY Syracuse NY 100 kW, 198 m, format AC.

91.5 at 1534: $ classical, CCI with KSNS KS mono. Lots of those in
USA, but in NY only two: WXXO Rochester 45 kW, 134 m, a.k.a. WXXI-FM
[?] in PTA, and WSQX-FM Binghamton 3.5 kW, 116 m with Classical 24.
Surely Rochester. How about ON? Two CBCs in Orillia and Ottawa, but
R1, not Music. 1882/1169 {see Renfrew comment above}

92.9 at 1541: Buffalo, siding & roofing ad, CCI, so WBUF again.

92.9 at 1543: ``Mix 92.9`` CCI to WBUF. Only two full-powers in NAm:
WJXA Nashville, ``Mix 92-9`` with a dash, and KYYY Bismarck ND, Mix
``92.9`` with the point: and based on later logs, ND is also
propagating! 100 kW, 301 m, AC 1182/735

92.9 at 1546: CCI to Bismarck, ``Star 92.9`` - not San Angelo TX but:
WEZF Burlington VT, 46 kW, 828 m, Hot AC -- good! Vermont rare to here
2262/1405

94.5 at 1553: WYYY again: ads for Burdicks Family Dealerships, iHeart,
in western NY, Syracuse; CCI. 1554, Y94FM.com, market 92. 1555,
claude.com, AI Asst, Y94.

95.1 at 1556: Stellar Roofing in western NY. Only NY non-translator is
WAIO Honeoye Falls, 50 kW, 146 m. Honeoye Falls is just S of
Rochester; how pronounced? 1877/1166 {see Renfrew reply above}

95.1 at 1558: WSTX Mackinaw City ID, CCI, ``Rhinestone Cowboy`` Or so
I thought: the real WSTX-FM is on 100.3 in Christiansted VI, as in St
Croix!

So now I have to look thru the 213 entries for USA in the WTFDA DB,
for similar calls or location or station relayed: NO obvious hits
among:
WSSX-FM CHARLESTON SC
WXFX    PRATTVILLE AL     
WFKS    MELBOURNE FL
WSGX-LP EAST BATON ROUGE LA
or maybe 100.3 in VI ID appeared in same city?
WJKC    CHRISTIANSTED VI 

But looking at 3 listings for Mackinaw City MI we bingo!
WSBX 94.5 MACKINAW CITY MI 50 kW 110 m CLASSIC HITS BRIDGE FM -
EVERYTHING CLASSIC // WUPF 95.1 -- so it`s WUPF I am hearing? But it`s
on 107.3!
WUPF 107.3 POWERS MI 50.0 kW 130.0 m CLASSIC ROCK EAGLE 107.3 FM

So then I look at all the 95.1s in MI, really bingo now!
WUPN 95.1 PARADISE MI 25.0 kW 71.0 m CLASSIC HITS BRIDGE FM -
EVERYTHING CLASSIC // WSBX 94.5
And there is also a WUPN-FM1 on 95.1, 0.25 kW in Sault Ste Marie MI.
How convoluted. UPN no doubt alludes to Upper Peninsula. I was not
getting relay relationships since not in the RELAY OF field, but
rather in the REMARX - and see further logs of BRIDGE FM: 1558/968

94.5 at 1600: iHeart Radio, Y94FM.com, so WYYY again

95.1 at 1601: YL news about Toronto Argonauts, CCI, CK News today
podcast; only fit is:
CKUE-FM 95.1 CHATHAM ON 42.0 kW 133.0 m Great Hits & Real Classics on
Co0L-FM 95.1 & 100.7 COOL FM 1501/933

95.1 at 1602: Kool-FM, or rather Cool-FM as above, CKUE. BTW, no sign
yet of the Enid CP on 95.1, KOKJ-LP; nor OG&E`s Xmasmx Part 15
downtown

95.3 at 1604: $ rock CCI overcoming KOKC $ talk translator

95.1 at 1605: talk about rockets, and how the word mastodon derives
from a root meaning woman`s breast because of similar appearance ---
really???

95.1 at 1606: CCI, Cool FM as above

95.1 at 1609: ``95-1 Bridge FM``, CCI, so it`s WUPN in MI again, as
above

95.1 at 1611, Cool 80`s launch? on Cool FM, so CKUE again

94.5 at 1614, ad for Big Lots in Oswego, so WYYY again.

94.5 at 1614: CCI Scott Joplin music: that could be WNED-FM Buffalo 94
kW, 220.5 m Classical 1775/1103

94.5 at 1615: central New York mentioned, does that mean Syracuse?

94.1 at 1617: classical, so CBL-FM again

92.9 at 1621: Home Depot, CCI, Buffalo ad, so WBUF again

87.7 at 1623: sports talk still, so WQSE-LD Syracuse again

1625-1634 I take a break, to start PBS video recording for a
sesquihour, so I don`t miss GZero World and Closer to Truth

106.1 at 1635: ad with 306 AC so it`s Saskatchewan, CCI; 1636 top US
dollar trade-ins at Centrack? Ford; 1637 Estevan weather, discover
Estevan, 106-1:
CKSE-FM 106.1 Estevan SK 100/43 kW, 131.8 m Country 106.1 1477/918

98.3 at 1640: classical CCI to semi-local C&W. In USA, only
translators or low power, except WHRF in VA. Not a single Canadian
listed with Classical format, but surely CBC Music:
CBW-FM 98.3 WINNIPEG MB 160.0! kW, 223 m VARIETY CBC MUSIC WINNIPEG
1503/934

97.5 at 1642: rock, CCI with OK

97.1 at 1643: talk, ACI from local 96.9

96.5 at 1644: CCI, maybe beyond the two Okies

94.1 at 1647: $ classical, CBL-FM again

92.1 at 1648: hard rock, YL DJ, from USA; $ so not KFXI OK which is
mono, country

87.7+ at 1651: still mono sports talk // 1640 KZLS, so WQSE-LD

104.1 at 1653: CCI to OKC! KMGL. If we`re still in western NY PTA:
WHTT-FM Buffalo 50 kW 118 m; or Ontario? CICZ-FM Midland 20 kW, 236 m
1775/1103

100.3 at 1654: $ soft rock; 1655 CJMJ Ottawa ID:

99.5 at 1656: $ talk, USA

99.5 at 1656: ``CK-105`` - CCI. Canadian? No matches. Closest USA
match is, and close to Syracuse:
WTKW 99.5 BRIDGEPORT NY 5.7 kw 103.0m CLASSIC ROCK TK 99 & TK 105

event) @ 4BEARS CASINO | 99.1 KCAD Title & Artist COUNTRY 1235/767

100.3 at 1701: just missed ID; still CJMJ as above?

98.3 at 1702: $ news ``in Saskatchewan``, CCI C&W:
CJMK-FM 98.3 SASKATOON SK 100.0 kW 161.0 m Adult Hits CLASSIC HITS 98
COOL FM 1881/1169
But there is one other in SK, only 53 W vertical only from a place
heard elsewhere:
CHQX-FM-2 relay of:CHQX-FM 101.5 98.3 LA RONGE SK 11.7m CLASSIC HITS
BEACH RADIO 2157/1340

98.3 at 1703: ``America`s listening to Fox 'News'``. Unfortunately,
WTFDA FMDB does not cover news/network affiliations, unlike the NRC AM
Log on paper. It does show two translators in SC and MT with Fox
Sports, but that does not correlate with `news` likely on too many
stations to guess at.

98.3 at 1704: Canadian news, Calgary Stampede, CBC news outro, ``In
Concert`` classical promo, Sunday at 11/11:30 in Newfoundland on CBC
Music. 1705 CBC program `About Time`. Surely still CBW-FM Winnipeg
1503/934

88.1 at 1709: French Canadian vs two Okies. Surely along with 98.3,
CBC in Winnipeg which is *not* CBWF, but CKSB-10-FM, relay of CKSB
1050, 100 KW, 223 m, Ici Radio-Canada Première. Originally a private
station. Several more times below 1503/934

90.3 at 1711: $ in *native* language, CCI. 1713 La Ronge SK events in
English; A&W cheeseburger ad! in native, Cree? CCI C&W. Only:
CJLR-FM-4 relay of:CJLR-FM 89.9 90.3 REGINA SK 43.0 kW 190.0 m MBC-FM
Country ABORIGINAL 1653/1027
The original CJLR-FM on 89.9 in La Ronge, way up north at 55+ degrees,
is *only* 216 watts and has many even lower power relays including six
also on 89.9.

91.5 at 1715: CCI both mono with KSNS KS: ``tender-hearted`` a quiz
word, native lang? There are no 91.5s in SK, so how about MB? One:
CKLQ-FM Brandon 100 kW 325.6 m, Q Country, not specified as mono; no
Aborignal anywhere; lots of low-powers 1505/935

92.1 at 1720: rock, CCI, $ so not KFXI OK fringer country mono

92.1 at 1725: CHCH ID in passing - an easy one for a change? NOT. No
such call among dozens of stations including relay sources. Nor
anything fonetikaly similar. CHCH applies only to a TV station in
Hamilton ON: possibly referred to. Near Hamilton? A *very* long shot,
but this one is close to Hamilton:
CKPC-FM 92.1 BRANTFORD     ON 80.0 kW 230.0 m    SOFT AC LITE 92.1
1677/1042

91.5 at 1727: CCI, Labrador mentioned and a .ca - too many
possibilities, but maybe still CKLQ FM 100 kW Brandon MB; or maybe
more likely to talk about Labrador would be a CBC station such as
CBO-FM Ottawa 84 kW, 323 m 2108/1310

91.5 at 1728: CCI in French, ``positive``. Only 5 in Canada, all CBC,
in NB, NS, QC, probably too far. Of course I could be getting double
hop and never know it 

91.5 at 1730: mention claesson-edwards.com as in previous DX session
June 26:
``91.5 at 1651, mono, ad for Clawson-Edwards.com audio processing. No
hits, but this reaches something in Antioch, California:
https://store.claessonedwards.com/aboutus.asp
It`s hard to tell on 91.5 whether I am getting KSNS KS, now Smile FM,
or CCI DX`` Now I am wondering if it were just KSNS both times
somehow. 118/73

87.7+ at 1730: still sports talk, no CCI, WQSE-LD Syracuse

94.1 at 1731: $ classical, CBL-FM

94.3 at 1733: CCI, maybe something other than usual KS/OK weakies

95.3 at 1735: deadair in mono fading, vs KOKC $ tereo talk. Probably
incomplete, but all 95.3s in FMDB as mono are in Canada, all very low
power and/or too far. Maybe something local. Again at 1757

95.3 at 1736: $ C&W CCI to KOKC $ talk

96.5 at 1737: weather by YL, ``96.5 ---EN``. Only 96.5 with partial
call EN is 
W243EN relay of:WBRN 1460 96.5 BIG RAPIDS     MI 0.25 kW NEWSRADIO
1460-107.7 WBRN. Unlikely she would utter a translator call

96.7 at 1738: $ , Virgin Plus, Pembroke ad, Pembroke Regional Hospital,

100.7 at 1742: $ rock vs heavy ACI from 100.9 Enid and 100.5 OKC

101.5 at 1744: $ classical, ``Sheherazade`` again, so CBC delayed.
Perfect reception until 1747 rock CCI. Like 94.1 Toronto 2+ hours
earlier, so this must be in MDT/CST zone. Only this one fits in SK or
AB:
CBK-FM-2 relay of:CBK-FM 96.9 101.5 WARMLEY SK 100.0 kW 301.3 m
VARIETY CBC MUSIC REGINA 2096/1303

88.1 at 1748: French Canadian CCI again to Okies, so Winnipeg

89.5 at 1749: $ low-key talk about land and water rights, visited
reservations, we are starving? boarding schools. The only Canadian
Aboriginal format is:
CKWG-FM Wahgoshig Lake ON, 17 watts. Only SK station is 50 watts
country. No MB station. ON? Maybe a topic on CBC Radio One Sudbury via
CBSM-FM Sault Ste Marie ON, 46 kW, 116.0 m in a PTA earlier. But
listed mono.

94.1 at 1753: something about Saskatchewan, and cruise? weather. $

92.1 at 1800: ``Lakota`s, Plain 92`` sounds like, and ``Harvard Media
radio station`` by YL in $ . Besides a translator in Rugby ND, there is
one full-power 17 kW in Dickinson, KZRX already logged; and one in SD,
100 kW KORN, neither having anything to do with Lakota, plain/plane,
or Harvard. So to broader searching: there is a Harvard Media HQ in
Regina, nothing to do with Cambridge? including radio, several
stations such as PLAY 92.1, CHMX FM! That`s it:
CHMX-FM 92.1 REGINA SK 100.0 kW 190.0 m Adult Hits 90'S HITS PLAY 92.1
I would not have reached this via FMDB unless I heard PLAY correctly.
Again at 1806 $ rock ``Play 92`` 1653/1027

94.9 at 1802: $ news of USA, fades, ad for O`Reilly auto parts; 1803
``9 -- The too`` or something like that

96.7 at 1805: $ C&W like at 1757

92.7 at 1808: $ C&W, ACI, ``Pure Country``. In entire N America there

London ON outside the PTA by now, but:

92.9 at 1809: $ undermodulated, ``Mix -`` something, CCI, mention Flin
Flon; iHeart Radio music festival 

92.9 at 1811: weather forecasts including La Ronge, CCI Bismarck as
below; 1813 YL in English on a native event, conference in La Ronge,
Flin Flon ad, undermodulated. 1814 Power mop?, Turtle Creek events;
1816 MBC sports, CCI. MBC makes it this, only 1.54 kW:

ABORIGINAL MBC FM
I don`t find a Turtle Creek in Canada, but leads to MI, PA, and Dallas
TX 1687/1049

92.9 at 1811: Bismarck ad, AC 701, CCI, 4BearsCasino.com which is near
New Town ND which is not too far from Bismarck; 1815 algo is next to
Dakota zoo:

93.1 at 1915: Showalter`s which is around KHMY Pratt KS fringer and
93.5, Thunder Country which is KKDT Burnett KS fringer
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 11725, July 6 at 0625, RNZP is VG as always,
but not // on 9700 for a change, only a JBA carrier there. Other two
sked on 9700 at this hour are Romania in German, and Algeria, blown
away whenever NZ be on. Of course, if both those be on, they blow away
each other (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, July 6 at 0622, YHWH is JBA. Josiah has been
running really late lately; of course that`s before local midnight if
in the PDT/MST zone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9750.019-, Sun July 6 at 1840, VOT English I`m checking for
convenience even earlier than the 2030, 2200 or 0300 broadcasts. VG
S9+30/45 into UTwente, ending the olds called news, music. 1846-1853
TPOTFP = `The Pulse of Turkish Foreign Policy`, music. 1904
`Letterbox` as Cemre is talking about forest fires. `Sports Panorama`
on Weds is taking a break until second week of August as there is
little sports news to report until then. Only a few letters this week,
due to holidays? So L`box will be shorter than usual [?not]. 1) Ricky
Hein, South Dakota, still pestering them about status of 11785 and
7275 frequencies which he does not hear well. She repeats what she got
before from the CE at Emirler: ground is just becoming suitable for
repair work on antenna A41 and another one during June, so already? 2)
Algeria, glad to learn about Turkey. 3) Port Albernie BC, again. 4)
Mohammed --, Malaysia, again. 5) Jayanta Chakraborty, India, again,
who listens to 7275 the NAm frequency, report of 30 June which was
Cemre`s birthday. 6) Spain, that`s all. 1920 theme, then other music
and I tune out. Once again I don`t hear any problems with those
frequencies *if* they are on the air at all. Week after week, we hear
mostly from the same handful of listeners over and over. This really
does not bode well for VOT`s audience reach (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K. 11955-11960-11965 DRN, July 6 at *0304, Woofferton cuts on
late in attempt to make-good the disaster July 2 of the Canada Day
special by `Pop Shop Radio` which did not come on until 0333. See my
report that date under CANADA [non]. I`m now listening via Maryland
SDR. I think the carrier was on earlier, but nothing heard yet, S7/S9,
11.64 kbps as before. The broad DRM signal looks fine on the
waterfall, no breaks, but to the ear there are soon dropouts, pinging
sounds. At first he mentions Port Arthur, Ont. 0305 singing ID for
some other station, Anne Murray song. Unfortunately, Tony talks over
the music which makes it harder to understand him. Pop/rock DJs think
that`s the cool thing to do, while we classical DJs avoid disrupting
the music. 0309 Rock `n` Roll Man - or Band?, Winnipeg. 0312 Wpg SID
for Radio 58? 0315 now dropouts are getting worse. 0315 a bit of
French by Tony. 0325 CKLW? ID. I give up by 0333 when I heard it OK
last time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2302 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
July 5 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, JBA direct but S9 into Maryland SDR.
This time I make a point of checking 7730 also shown on WRMI skedgrid
for WOR. NO! JBA direct but it`s SMTV before and after 2230 into
Georgia SDR.

Confirmed UT Sunday July 6 at 0331 about 7 minutes into, so the 0315v
started circa 0324 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+10 but noisy into N9AZZ
IL remote. 

Confirmed Sunday July 6 at 1912 the 1900 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1323: NO signal into UTwente, nor two Parma SDRs, but lots of storm
noise. Then I find that the closest and favorite SDR, Noale, is back
on! No 1323, but alternate frequency *is* on, 918 kHz and VG S9+20
atop storm noise; displays -15.8 Hz low, but have not checked
calibration. Other alt. 207 kHz LW not on. Next:

2100 UT Sunday WRMI 15770 to NE [NEW; and 7730?];
2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2330 UT Sunday WRMI 9455 to NW;
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW;
0830 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160 [suspended];

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 1323v - or 918 kHz;
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;

USA. 5920, July 5 at 0258, this WTWW is back on and sounding like
full power rather than earlier; and 5085 also on possiblizing World of
Radio a biminute later. George tells me when TOMBS goes away, he will
restore Pastor Pete Peters, who sounds less deceased than BS. He`s
also set up a studio to produce his own music show of old favorites
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

USA. 4840, July 5 at 0638, this WWCR-3 is OFF. But at 0645
recheck it`s ON again, with jazz, presumably VORW as scheduled.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

USA. (12160), Sat July 5 at 1700, WWCR with `Talking Machine
Show` on webcast: but lately have been inserting a one-minute
commercial before stream plays, very annoying; even more so today,
when one link kept repeating the commercial until I switched to a
different one (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
