Lucy Grant host for the Tuesday show of `Alaska Calling`, introduces co-host Rob Scobey; they are both relentlessly expressive, upbeat and clearly enunciating for the ESL folk targeted. I could hardly believe my ears when the first of the items billboarded by Rob was: ``If you think Alaska`s capital has long winters, you`re right. How do Anchorage residents cope? Find out on Postcard from Alaska`` --- Hey Rob, Anchorage is NOT the capital of Alaska, but Juneau (tho Anchorageans have long coveted the title; shortly after statehood there were several initiatives, all defeated, to move it closer to Anchorage, even Wasilla), and Juneau in the Panhandle is considerably milder than the rest of the state. A major gaffe, since these ``Alaskans`` are really in Franklin, Tennessee near Nashville, HQ of World Christian Broadcasting. Have they ever even been to Anchor Point, let alone Anchorage or Juneau? It`s unusual for a SW station to identify so much with its remote transmitter site rather than studio location thousands of miles away. I reconfirmed this by listening to the first couple minutes of today`s (Aug 11) broadcast: http://knls.org/today-broadcast.html After a 1206 item about Dick Van Patten passing at age 86; at 06:47 into the file, Mike Osborne with Postcard from Alaska which I could somewhat hear on already fading 7355 at 1207: Anchorage is NOT referred to on the segment itself as the capital. At 1210, `True Stories from the Bible` --- sez who? Faith required. By 1239, 7355 reception has degraded to very poor; it has an adjacent on 7360 but not 7350. As always, this magazine-style hour from KNLS hooks `em with secular features, rock music (in stereo on the web), then hits `em with stealth evangelism segments mixed in, including the retrograde anti-science `Creation Moment` nonsense, which most religious stations feel obligated to propagate. Will God ever get `em for that? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL [and non]. 6180, Aug 11 at 0048, I`m wondering if RNA is ever active on this frequency even with low power, and there is a JBA talker here, but not // huge 11780 music + spurs all over the 25m band, so this 6180 is something else, such as CRI English, southward from Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN at 00-02 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE [and non]. 9935, Aug 11 at 0033, VOG is on tonight, and as usual with huge whine on this frequency, while // 9420 music is clear. At 0537, 9420 is still good with music (presumably a buffer between token foreign language news headlines), and 11645 Dabanga via Vatican is suffering rumbling CCI, presumably Avlis up from 9935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 104.5, August 11 at 1257 UT, I`m checking KZZW Mooreland/ Woodward, for IDs and slogans since it settled into new format July 24 after several days of countdown stunting as I previously reported. Has live local DJ, with timechex, frequency slip as ``102.5`` (his ex-station?). 1301: ``104-5, KZZW Mooreland`` takes care of it legally; also: ``From Dodge City to El Reno, we got the hits``. There`s no point in measuring from COL Mooreland since the transmitter site is on the other side of Woodward. City-to city distances: Woodward to Dodge City KS is 157 km = 98 miles. Woodward to El Reno OK is 164 km = 102 miles. Dodge City to El Reno is 308 km = 192 miles. The radio-locater fringe contour for the KZZW CP, doesn`t go that far, only to Geary/Hinton OK, not quite to Fowler/Meade KS (and not quite to the western edge of Enid, but we get it well enough with a little tropo enhancement). Other slogans/IDs: At 1304, ``Today`s best hits, 104-5, KZZW`` but not all `hits` current At 1308, ``104-5, KZZW, the Tri-State Party Station`` Bill Hale says, ``StationIntel reports that the format is CHR and the slogan is 'The Tri-State's Party Station'.`` So maybe that`s the official one? AFAIK, the Woodward area is not generally referred to as ``tri-state``, tho it does rather apply for KS/OK/TX tnx to OK being only one county wide in the Panhandle; unlike for countless other border areas in the USA where three states really do abut (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 105.7, Aug 11 at 1310 UT, KRDR Alva is modulating in stupid sports talk, from ESPN Radio but running 20 seconds behind KCRC 1390 Enid --- because they are still relaying that station in Missouri? Need to check ToH ID. On PL-880 I need to side tune to about 105.73 to avoid local Enid 105.50 translator, while KRDR still has ACI from it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 107.5, still as of August 11, no signal from KOSN Ketchum-Tulsa, the full-power relayer of KOSU, even with a little help from the troposphere. As previously reported, it was off the air when I was in Tulsa July 23-24, and subsequently found to be due to burnup of antenna feed cable. Meanwhile, canned IDs on 91.7 continued to include 107.5 (but never 107.3, the Tulsa translator fed by 107.5 --- a neat trick, on adjacent channels; too bad they can`t feed it otherwise). Now here`s the latest from the KOSU mailing list August 11: ``Dear KOSU Listener, As many of you in the 107.3 and 107.5 listening area are aware, KOSU's signal has been off-air since Wednesday, July 22, 2015. The tower for this listening area suffered a catastrophic electrical fire and the coax cables that run to (and up) the tower were destroyed. After weeks of waiting for shipping and handling, the special coax cable arrived and our engineers successfully installed the new cable late last week. However, the antenna itself needs extensive cleaning from the fire damage. Due to delays from rain and heavy winds, our engineers are currently waiting to complete this task. A burned portion of the cabling on the 107.5 FM tower in Ketchum, OK [caption] Estimates of the repair costs are currently around $27,000.

On RF 13, KETA/OETA, another August fund-raiser in progress, but ending the August 7 `Oklahoma News Report`, Dick Pryor says goodbye, moving to Candor Public Relations in OKC. After 40 years in broadcasting, last 25 with OETA. ONR will carry on, he says. From OETA website, with audiovideo: http://www.oeta.tv/blogs/press-room/goodbye-and-good-luck-dick-pryor/ ``Goodbye and Good Luck, Dick Pryor! Updated by Chase Harvick, Dick Pryor at 10:12 pm August 6 [excerpts:] After an unparalleled 25 years of covering Oklahoma's most important news, people and events that OETA Deputy Director and Editor-in-Chief Dick Pryor announced he is "hanging up the notebook". We asked Pryor, host of ONR, Oklahoma Forum, A Conversation With..., On the Record and OETA's live election coverage to reflect on his quarter century with the station and to share some insights gathered along the way. Thinking back on your career, what news stories or events most stand out and why? `I have been in broadcasting for 40 years, the first 15 of which were in sports and the last 25 in news, so there is lot that stands out...` What's next for you? `Bringing my life and work experiences together in a new position as Director of Client Services for Candor Public Relations. It?s a new challenge and new opportunity to inform and shape public discussion and opinion. I look forward to learning, growing and developing new relationships. I am grateful for my broadcasting career and for the new opportunities that lie ahead. In the final scene of The West Wing, Abigail Bartlet asked her husband, President Jed Bartlet, what he was thinking about as they left Washington.

RF 42, Aug 10 at 1503 UT, area tropo makes KMYT Tulsa come in solid with three channels, but no decodes from any other Tulsa station. 41.1 is KMYT MyTV; 41.2 is GetTV, and 41.3 is GritTV --- both with old B&W movies --- saves on the color bandwidth, ha! W9WI.com does not show any 41.3 for it. Rabbitears.info has all three plus another one pending ``soon`` as 41.4, something called ``Heroes & Icons``. Also shows the ``physical channel`` for each as 42.3 thru 42.6 respectively (which are not displayed as such; why make DTV remapping/channelization any more complicated?)

Here is something very poor with only one audio detectable, vocal music, country? 0029 announcement and more music, on the NRD-545, rating S7-S9 which is really equivalent to the storm noise level. Most readable in CW mode tuned to 6222.20, -.105 passband, 2.40 bandwidth. It`s also audible on the PL-880 with shorter reelout antenna, but then on the latter I scan thru the MW, 49, 41, 31 and 25m bands for any audio match, and none found. Seems to go off around 0046, altho at 0107 there is an even weaker JBA carrier. Now I am thinking it could be a pirate, Euro? You might assume 6220 would be a popular Europirate frequency, but nothing reported lately. Roberto Pavanello in PlayDX did recently get an e-QSL from Radio Python 6220 kHz, but that was after 475 days. Then I search HF underground and find http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,17926.0.html that Radio Tango Italia was being heard on 6220 AM just over one year ago, August 2, 2014 around this same hour, by Chris Lobdell, Massachusetts, and by a couple of others as deep into North America as central Kentucky and western Tennessee. Of course, any 6 MHz Euro-pirate would be quite a rarity here in OK. There was also a Mystery Radio on 6220 but that was several years earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1843 UT August 11 ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2015 19:45:28 +0000 From: Ivo Observer <ivo.obser...@gmail.com> To: frequenc...@bnr.bg Subject: [HCDX] VOGreece on 9420, 9935 Message-ID: <canvtgkbxzz5zmzayjom7qqoqdxqcpztwwstqwsju7enmdpo...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 VOGreece on air from 1930 on 9420, 9935 -- 73!

Assuming it`s really on the air, must be on a hi-angle, short-range antenna just right for max signal into Cuba, not here. At least I detect no jamming, either. 5850 WRMI on its NW antenna is much better but still only poor this early. I`ve yet to check for the other AWR 5950 broadcast at 1100-1130, but that must have been Mark Taylor, Wisconsin`s poorly audible unID in the NASWA Flashsheet. Or rather, a full hour each for System H per WRMI frequency grid; maybe for expansion or some other program? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. Looking thru EiBi`s readme.txt abbr. listings, I find hw for transmitter site of KWHW Altus OK. Yes, this graveyarder has made the Big Time as a USA SW station, in the A-15 EiBi frequency list: ``2900 0000-2400 USA KWHW Country Altus, OK E CNA hw`` All because of our monitoring the 1450 x 2 second harmonic for a few days this May, but I am afraid it is currently inactive, as I occasionally check the frequency (which was really off- to the lo side). Let`s keep it listed for a while longer in case of a relapse (Glenn Hauser, OK, Aug 12, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OMAN [non]. I now realize exactly how the WRTH 2015 mixed up Oman instead of Slovakia as relayed by Global 24 via WRMI. RSO is the abbr. for Radio Sultanate of Oman, the station. But RSO is *also* the separate abbr. for the now defunct Slovakia SW site, Rimavsk? Sobota. Probably not the first time this has happened, but HFCC/ITU expect you not to mix up one abbr. table with another, as they do not necessarily avoid duplication (Glenn Hauser, OK, Aug 12, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 5980, Aug 12 at 0047, JBA carrier from R. Chaski on the NRD-545 reads about S8 with the random wire, S9 on the Wellbrook just hooked up, but both are mostly picking up storm noise levels; and distracted by what turns out to be KBUF-6180, I miss the Chaski cutoff circa 0106 tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SRI LANKA. 11905, Aug 12 at 0114:46.5, music starts on very poor SLBC carrier, 2+1 mistimesignal (not miss timesignal; it`s neuter for sure) ends at 0115:19.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085, August 12 at 0120, no signal from WTWW-2, when a ham DX program had been running on Tuesday nights; 0245 recheck it`s on but with country music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 6177-6183 at least, August 12 at 0052 UT on the newly inaugurated ALA-330S antenna to the NRD-545, an extremely distorted talk station in English. At first I fear the new antenna is producing it, but soon found just as much with the longwire, and separately on the PL-880 with its own reelout. It`s sort of like FM mode, but the NRD won`t demodulate in FM, nor does any combination of filters do much to improve it. Naturally, I first check the 49mb on the other receiver for any modulation match, but none, nor on 41 or 31m. It does sound like a US commercial station, so next suspicion is a harmonic --- and the only MW frequency which would produce a 6180 harmonic is 1030 (x6). So now I try to find a match on 1030, but not much is propagating this early, half a sesquihour before sunset. At 0101 UT, 6180 is in network news, outroed at 0105 UT as ABC; next minute probably contains local ads/ID, but can`t copy (this causes me to miss a Chaski-check, but worth it); 0106 UT opens American -something talkshow, apparent YL host, with OM guest interviewed. At 0125 UT *maybe* a hint of a match on 1030. Now I switch receivers to find that the PL-880 side-tuned to 6178 produces more readable audio than the NRD-545 offtuned or not. Especially after 0100 UT, the mis-modulation has been sporadic, cutting on and off, somewhat dependent on peaks. And BINGO, 0129 UT local break, commercial for Papa Murphy`s (cook-it-yourself) Pizza in Garden City and Dodge City, and ``right here on KBUF``. So rather than KCTA or something, it`s my nearest 1030, in SW Kansas, which doesn`t ever produce much on the fundamental, 2.5 kW ND day and 1.2 kW direxional to southwest at nite. CoL is Holcomb KS, address in Garden City. And yes, with ABC news, per NRC AM Log 2014. Program schedule at http://www.westernkansasnews.com/kbuf/ shows M-F at CDT 7pm?10pm America Now. Elsewhen the ilx of Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin, so format is anti-American talk, plus ag stuff weekday mornings, and more talk variety on weekends. They have chosen a rather clear frequency to harmonicize, tnx to absence of Bras?lia, and fortunately doesn`t spread as far up as 6185 to mess up M?xico. This is certainly its first day of issue: 24 hours earlier, there was no sign of it as I logged very weak AM signal from CRI Kashgar (presumed, instead of Brasil) on 6180. How long will this go on? Oh, we must also check for lower harmonix: 2060, 3090, 4120, 5150, and why not, higher ones: 7210, 8240, 9270, 10300 ---. August SR/SS: 1200/0145 UT. Possibly 6180 is no longer heard after 0145 UT? I don`t stay to find out tonight. At *0132.5 my nearest streetlite ignites with its brief wideband RF noise burst (I look out the window to confirm visually). Enid sunset is now 0127 UT, earlying a bit more than one minute per 24 hours. So much for this DX session (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6220.0-AM, Aug 12 at 0037, the pirate? or broadcast mixing product is again poorly audible, but best yet at peak with a song, which I cannot recognize as a tango. 0043 signal drops sharply to a JBA carrier. Possibly these are two different stations. And still so at 0121. Would others check this out? Might be more readable further east into the darkside. At 0045 August 12, 2015, I inaugurate the ALA-330S magnetic loop antenna which Brandon Jordan kindly gave me, now hooked up to the other antenna input of the NRD-545, but switching back and forth there is little difference on 6220. The ALA-330S is currently inside right next to the radio and facing north/south; finding a quieter spot to install it outside will be problematical but possible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6925.16-AM, Aug 12 at 0114, JBA carrier is the only activity on the pirate band, presumably Liquid Radio on its signature/fingerprint exact frequency as recently reported by others on HF Underground (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0329 UT August 12 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 152, Issue 13 *********************************************
