Statute typical Indian bureaucracy has crept in. Glenn's outstanding statement applied to AIR also: "Something's always wrong at AIR India". They never take a role model of/at BBC London, NHK Radio Japan, the excellent RTC CRI / CNR frequency usage in a fixed schedule organized over a long season. You never know in which shortwave channel and at what time AIR reappears. That was much better 2 ... 5 decades ago. 73 wb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ivo Ivanov" <ivo.obser...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 2020 8:04 PM Subject: Re: [WOR] Frequency changes of All India Radio AIR External Service > Bangla, Sinhala, Chinese, Tibetan, Dari, Pashto, Nepali, Urdu, English > sces are on air, visit to Alokesh web site > > On Wed, 1 Jul 2020, 15:52 Stephen Luce <stvluc...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > >> Is AIR's external SW service back to normal output after the suspension >> of broadcasts a few months ago?

Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** CUBA. 13820, July 1 at 1402, noise jammer grinding away vs nothing, since that`s a B-season-only Radio Mart? frequency, instead on 13605 now, also heavily jammed. Something`s always incompetent and excessive at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH. 13760.201, July 1 at 1403, VOK way off-frequency, JBA talk in unID language. Much weaker 13650 is on 13649.964. The other ones closer to nominal but unmeasured: 11735, 11710-strongest, 9435 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1270, June 30 daytime I can`t get enough signal from KRXO Claremore/Tulsa; UT July 1 at 0158 now some skywave helps as I hear Spanish, ``tu m?sica`` and indeed music right across 0200 hourtop; 0202 ID mentions ``107.9 FM y 1270 AM``; 0510 UT recheck I again hear ``107.9``. Plenty of QRM but this station is generally atop on my E-W longwire. More music across 0600, until 0603 full ID, the first few words pronounced sorta English, ``KRXO, Claremore-Tulsa, 1270 AM y 107.9 FM ---- nueva frecuencia``. I was checking it out after seeing this in Bill Hale`s FM News column in July WTFDA VHF-UHF Digest: ``OK Oklahoma City 107.9 KRXO-FM Spanish CHR: ?Ritmo 107.9?`` That can`t be right, as the real full-power KRXO-FM is still on 107.7 in OKC, with stupid sports talk, in English; certainly no room for another, one channel up! Same owner Tyler Media does have a 107.9 translator in Tulsa of KRXO (AM) 1270; and a CP to move it to nearby Broken Arrow, per FCC FM Query. However, WTFDA FM Database shows K300CY, the 107.9 in Broken Arrow is Spanish CHR, Ritmo 107.9, relaying KRXO 1270. 1270 must be a recent flip, not sure when; believe I still had 1270 in English sports talk early in June. Radio-locator.com still has it sports, ``The Franchise``. Site is between Owasso and Claremore, NE of Tulsa, but plenty coverage of entire metro. 5 kW day pattern does have a notch toward Enid; 1 kW night pattern less of a notch. Why move the FM to Broken Arrow, SE of Tulsa? Census data indicates most Hispanic neighborhoods are in central Tulsa. Maybe it`s going up on a high-tower antenna farm. Radio.locator.com coverage map for ``K300CY-FM`` [sic] shows from east side of Tulsa near ``New Tulsa``, local contour not reaching all of Tulsa but the distant one does (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2040 monitoring: confirmed the Wednesday July 1 at 2100+ on WBCQ 7490v, good at a Rochester NY SDR checked at 2121, while poor at Alexandria VA, and JBA here so I could not be positive it were I speaking.
