Some more updates from yesterday's HFCC file (28 June 2023):
Radio Ergo, 12-13 UTC 21595 via UAE: An END date was entered: 29 June - so
today was the last broadcast of this Kenyan-Somali station? Or will it
re-appear on good old 17680? But beware, Encompass/BBC sometimes change the end
date of a registration, only to undo that change a few days later with no
real-life effects. My best guess is this reflects some internal formalities,
unless they want to play games with SW listkeepers.
BBC
- The starting date for the new Oman frequencies is moved from 15 July to 16
July
- More frequencies are registered to start on 16 July 2023. Each of them seems
to replace a Singapore registration. It looks like they are indeed in the
process of finding replacements for Singapore, and register them step by step:
5875 Tinian 1530-1600 (Mo-Fr) Korean, replacing 12095-SNG
5875 Tinian 1630-1700 (Mo-Fr) Korean, replacing 12095-SNG
6195 Yerevan 1700-1900 Dari/Pashto, conflicting with current 6195-Oman in
English - to enable the new 9550 from Oman in this time period? Maybe English
will move to 5970 which is currently used by Oman for Dari/Pashto.
9410 Tashkent 0100-0200 English for South Asia, replacing 17790-SNG
13630 Tashkent 1330-1400 Burmese, in addition to 17515-OMA, these two will
replace 7465 and 9585
15185 Tashkent 0800-0900 English DRM to South Asia, replacing 17720-SNG
Disclaimer - this is still speculation, based on the appearance of those new
registrations in combination with previous rumours. The Singapore registrations
have still not been changed.

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Signs of sporadic E into FM band on DXMAPs, so
out to the car to check. Once again, none of that reaching here, but
there is tropo from as far as Shreveport. Major Tulsa stations such as
96.5 are in like locals, and some weaker ones not normally heard like
102.3 KRMG can also make it. In fact there is a huge, heavy and
growing tropo blob over east TX, most of LA, AR and much of OK.
Standard introduxion applies. UT Thursday June 29:
94.5 at 0154, ad for flights to vacation destinations out of
Shreveport Regional Airport:

97.1 at 0155, baseball? game; 0157, ``97.1 The Sports Animal``; 0214,
register for some event at tulsaluncheon.com; national ads; OSU sports
stuff, another Animal ID:

35-24-48 95-21-55 4F6B //KITO 96.1 237/147
97.3 at 0203, soliciting pledges for Catholic schools, tcsok.org, so
it`s this little 1 kW station SW of OKC again:
KKNG-FM 97.3 BLANCHARD OK RELIGIOUS TEACHING 1.0 244.0 35-10-38
97-36-10 2BC0 VISIT WWW.OKCR.ORG 141/88
BTW, an OK RCC school is try to get its mitts on taxpayer money,
violating Separation Of Church And State - may lead to a SCOTUS test
case
99.3 at 0206, after Fox ``news``, ``southwest Oklahoma``, from ``KCLI
studios``, Joe Pags Show, but that`s national far-right talker. Anyhow
instead of usual KLOR Ponca City, I`m getting FM side of off-frequency
1319.9615 audible het KCLI Clinton:
KCLI-FM 99.3 CORDELL OK NEWS/TALK NEWS TALK 99.3FM 4.4 240.2 35-26-43

100.3 at 0207, Mexmx, weak but steady; 0218, ``104.9 y 100.3``, 918 AC
ad, so it is:
KCXR 100.3 TAFT OK Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN QUE BUENA TULSA 104.9 &
100.3 4.0 125.0 35-48-42 95-34-11 221/137
Where does unheard 104.9 fit into this?:

BUENA 104.9 & 100.3 0.19 156.0 36-06-25 95-47-13 - how it gets into
Tulsa, 59 km = 37 mi from Taft
92.3 at 0210, still 0212, 0228 when I suspend, DEAD AIR in $tereo.
Believe a few minutes earlier I had the usual Fox/talker fringer:
KMZE 92.3 WOODWARD OK TALK/SPORTS TRI STATES NEWS TALK SPORTS 10.5
368.0 36-16-23 99-26-45 323E - 136/85
93.9 at 0213, ad for Texarkana Glass, into religiousy talk; also
mentioned Oklahoma. The trouble is, there is no 93.9 in Texarkana
TX/AR, nor anywhere near in the quadristate area AR/LA/OK, but closest
is this one in NE TX, 140 km = 87 miles away:
KOYN 93.9 PARIS TX COUNTRY 50.0 150.0 33-49-36 95-27-49 3775 Title &
Artist KOYN 93.9 Country 370/230
Texarkana Glass specializes in auto glass repair, apparently has no
locations outside Texarkana TX except maybe Genoa AR just east of
there. On my ND vertical antenna, this has totally captured 93.9 from
normal semilocal KIMY Watonga OK.
101.3 at 0220, instead of Wichita, VG with Lawton OK ad, also for TX
Dept of Criminal Justice, MacKenzie Automotive, 238-2024; 0225,
``Oklahoma`s Best Country, K-Law 101``, that complete slogan not in
WTFDA DB:
