** EGYPT. 9965, July 24 at 2354, fair signal but dead air from R. Cairo
presumably during English sesquihour to North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3905, July 23 at 1145, JBA AM carrier, presumably the currently
active RRI Merauke which Ron Howard has been getting just about every morning
in CA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, July 23 at 1517 UT, approaching Tulsa from Enid on US
412/Cimarr?n T?rnpike, KEOR/KETU is on with regional Mexican music, so I decide
to stick with it as long as possible for any announcement. But it dumps off the
air at 1531* and never comes back until afternoon of July 24, (as far as I
notice from several rechex), circa 1800 UT; but around 2200 UT it`s gone again.
What a sorry excuse for a radio station.
In advance I had searched the FCC website on Facility 3651 (as KETU, but low
number may show how old it really is from the Atoka KEOR days, call which was
still being uttered a few months ago, despite alleged change to KETU), for any
sign of a local address, but only find references to licensee off in Springdale
AR, La Zeta 95.7 Inc.
Even so, aren`t stations required to maintain a Public File somewhere in the
Community of License (Catoosa OK)??? Also unfound in local phone directories
under either call. I had better things to do in Tulsa than spend time trying to
track it down; had already located, visited and photographed the transmitter
site in February 2009, which is really in Sperry, not Catoosa, or Tulsa; when
it was newly moved in from Atoka OK 1110 in order to open that frequency for
KVTT in The Metroplex TX.
http://www.w4uvh.net/KEOR1.jpg
http://www.w4uvh.net/KEOR2.jpg
http://www.w4uvh.net/KEOR3.jpg
Quite possibly there is no local office and certainly no studio beyond what
automation equipment may reside at the transmitter site.
At one time, this station was connected to KJMU 1340 Sand Springs, but that
remains off the air completely (at least while I was there, and Bruce Winkelman
is never hearing it, I think.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 104.5, July 23 morning we continued to hear the countdown from
KZZW Mooreland/Woodward stunting toward a new Unbalanced format. One stunt
robotic announcement between countdowns was simply ``8675309`` which sounds
suspiciously like a phone number, but I haven`t tried it. With some tropo
assist, signal held up until approx. I-35 on our US 412 way to Tulsa, with
increasing CCI from KRXO OKC translator to the side, and ultimately overtaken
by 104.5 KMYZ Pryor/Tulsa. We weren`t back in range in time to hear the
much-anticipated Z minus 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds projected for
approx. 2100 UT July 24, but shortly were hearing current rock hits,
apparently, and 0230 UT July 25 ID as ``Your party station, 104-5 KZZW``, which
we now may safely avoid after all the excitement (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 105.7, July 23 at 1424 UT, open carrier/dead air from new KRCR
Alva, still so at 1435, enough to mostly block reception of KROU, 105.7
Spencer, the relay of OU`s KGOU where we were formerly able to hear it on road
east of Enid, as well as south (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 107.5, all during our July 23-24 visit to Tulsa, NO signal from
KOSN Ketchum-Tulsa, the full-power relay of KOSU, and consequently neither the
translator dependent on it closer to Tulsa on 107.3. This allowed Wichita to
poke thru on 107.3. However, KOSU direct is more or less audible in the Tulsa
fringe on 91.7; and so is 90.1 KUCO Edmond/OKC for classical music: both are
fortunate to have clear frequencies into Tulsa where they could well be blocked
at ~100 miles away. Then found this on the KOSU website:
``UPDATE: Tulsa 107.5 FM Signal Outage
Share Tweet E-mail 0 Comments Print By KOSU News
UPDATE (July 24 at 2:10 p.m. [CDT = 1910 UT]): Our engineers are ordering the
parts necessary to repair the tower. We don't yet have an estimated time for
the signal to be back live. When we do, we will update this post. Thank you for
your patience. [italix]
[original undated item:] We are currently experiencing technical difficulties
in the Tulsa, northeast Oklahoma, and surrounding listening area. If you tune
in to 107.5 FM or 107.3 FM, then you will probably notice radio silence.
Our engineers are on the scene with specialized technicians, working to get the
issue resolved and programming back on the air.
This is an evolving situation, so we will keep you posted on all that
transpires. In the meantime, you can listen to our streaming service here on
kosu.org or on iTunes Radio.
Thank you for being patient and for your support of KOSU``
On the way to Tulsa I was surprised to hear how well the ``powerful`` new
250-watt KOSU 94.9 translator in Ponca City was coming in on a stretch of US
412, altho unnecessary compared to 91.7 source (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PAPUA NEW GUINEA [non]. 6075, July 23 at 1142, JBA carrier --- not the good
signal we had been getting from the temporary NBC relay via Shepparton,
AUSTRALIA, which was expected to be over about now (and Aoki shows it until
July 22, but from Brandon, which we do not believe). But what could this be?
Nothing else scheduled in Aoki, but HFCC has an imaginary RUS/VOR/GFC
registration in Chinese-Mandarin, 100 kW, 218 degrees from Khabarovsk at
1000-1400 thruout the A-15 season. Maybe it was one last gasp really from a
weaker Brandon? Even that should have been stronger. Maybe it was a spur or
mixing product from algo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
