** FRANCE. UNIDENTIFIED. 13690-13695-13700, July 2 at 2206, DRM noise
at S9 direct. Not listed anywhere, Aoki, EiBi, latest HFCC nor even
DRMrx. Suspect another DEMO TDF from FRANCE as a few days ago on
17755-17760-17765, nor listed anywhere, unrechecked now. Issoudun also
uses 13695 other dayparts in AM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 13690-13695-13700, July 3 at 2228 I remember just in time
to recheck for yesterday`s unID DRM: into Virginia SDR it is indeed
another DEMO TDF at 8.08 kbps, ex-17755-17760-17765 no longer there.
Off abruptly at 2230* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Re: ``Area tropo is up per APRS map, reaching Enid from
west,
south, east. RF 14, June 27 at 1520 UT, brief decode with PSIP ID for
KOCY as 48-3. That`s Telemundo, unnecessary since is also on a much
stronger subchannel of RF 29 KTUZ...``
Correxion, I meant to say it`s Estrella TV, not Telemundo. However,
this is no longer the case! Punch 48 or 48-3 and you get nowhere. Per
rabbitears.info, Estrella is only on lowpower KOCY-LD RF14. It`s still
Tyler Media, but among the 7 programs on RF29 KTUZ ``Shawnee`` are
Telemundo, Univision, and Unimas, no Estrella. Which means in effect
we can no longer get it in Enid as it`s not on any tier of Optimum
cable either. It was clearly an inferior net to UV and TM, with even
more lowbrow programming.
Lots of ondemand stuff here, and en vivo just playing one promo over
and over before supposedly joining programming, like novelas, silly
game and talk shows:
https://www.estrellatv.com/
HQ in Burbank CA, apparently not a Mexican subsidiary.
And my Zenith settopbox has resumed flashing on in only about 5
seconds instead of 5 or 6 times that long (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Mon July 3 at 2200, token M/W/F English from SNR;
2206 first feature is interview about a dance inspired by the first
trans-woman to undergo such surgery, in Denmark; 2217 second feature
about olive oil. VG to Maryland SDR and //s not checked (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** THAILAND [and non]. In last report I omitted one important step in
the discussion of 13750, replaced here:
...Yes, I heard them talking about events in Thailand. I hope to check
again at 0200 for their next English half-hour. Harold
*** Yes, it was CGTN Radio = CRI in English until 0100 on 13750,
replaced at 0100 by much stronger Deewa Radio = VOA Pashto which is
via Thailand, at 0100-0400 per Aoki. That could be a problem for R.
Thailand any later than now. Glenn ***
Heard again via the Indonesia SDR. Radio Thailand signing on in
English at 0200 on 13750. ID heard, but VOA Radio Deewa was stronger.
Radio Thailand needs to try another frequency. Harold Sellers, Vernon,
BC
As also noted here via Jak. If these are both really from Udon Thani
site, what a mess. Nobody noticed they already had a program on 13750?
Even if different sites, unacceptable. Maybe to Harold direct RT in
English rules? Later after 0200: no signal direct to here from
anything on 13750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, July 2 after 2200, VOT English confirmed not off the
air today in quick check, but only fair direct (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.004?, July 3 about *2200.7, VOT carrier cuts on late
as seen via UTwente, but right off again and never comes back for at
least 30 minutes. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17530, Mon July 3 at 1915, S9+10 of dead air, obviously VOA
Grimesland NC, scheduled for French at 1930-2030 following 1700-1830
English. Do they leave it on for a whole hour in between? Better not:
1830-1900 M-F is Kinyarwanda via Ascension. VOA uses 17530 in several
more languages and sites starting at 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2197 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
July 2 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+10/20 into
nearby Noale SDR.
Also confirmed UT Monday July 3 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into
Louisiana SDR, first 14 seconds holding up better than before to
external noise blast.
Also confirmed UT Monday July 3 from 0303 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160 -67 Hz
= 6159.933, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, preceded by a `Pirates Cove`
episode from 2003! with Allan Weiner in Kennebunkport, totally outdated
frequency of ``5105``; intermission feature an ancient clip of yours
truly non-singing a ``Slinky`` tune. Next:
0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
Thanks this week to Ron Howard, Monterey, California for a check to
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, ``In memory of Noel Green. I
remember all the times he helped me with Radio Pakistan info [he was
an official monitor in the UK]. Thanks for all your help over the
Decades!``
