** CUBA. 11760, July 20 at 0623, RHC Spanish S9+10/20 but vs S9 high local line? noise level all over LW, MW and SW. Tonight`s extension channel. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Research on KVIS, 910, Miami [``Miamuh``] in the NE corner of OK, which has changed format in the past year; to update entry in the next NRC AM Log, to be published in next few weeks. Editor Wayne Heinen needed info by July 20, altho possible further changes to press time. May 27: KVIS-910 Format? Saw a report today that says KVIS is now C&W from GOS/REL. Anyone on the [IRCA] list able to confirm or deny it? Website still has the “King’s Vision” logo but the stream doesn’t work. 73 Wayne Heinen N0POH, Editor, NRC AM Radio Log, Aurora, CO gh: I monitored it May 29-30, see my previous reports not repeated here. Now in July, I can`t get anything vs summer storm levels plus high local noise level about S9! So I asked our monitor in Tulsa, Chris Krug, to check, and here is our correspondence about it: July 8: Hi Chris, I wonder if you could check something out, at your convenience in the next week? For the NRC AM Log we are trying to determine the current slogan/ID and format of KVIS 910 Miami OK. I have a hard time hearing it especially with the summer/storm noise levels. It`s same direxional pattern day and night and looks like it would favor Tulsa. Tnx, Glenn July 9: Things are great here Glenn! I`ve been listening this morning since 1220 UT, seems to be a non-stop loop of Christian soft rock (actually, every song sounds very much like the last). I was able to Shazam a couple songs (“Testimony”-Kate Hill 1253, “Snakes in the Grass” - Kate Hill 1256), no ID at the BOH nor the TOH. Still going at 1307, no announcers between songs and no ID thus far. I’ll check more through the week. 73 Chris KC5IIE July 15: Well, Glenn, I wish I had something definitive to add here. I listened each day for the past week at various times of the day, sometimes in the shack and from my truck. When on the air, they play a non-stop loop of Christian pop music. I did note however, on Jul 11 (1200 UT) there was just a carrier with no programing. They were back on the 12th, but completely gone (no carrier, no programing) at 1500 UT on Jul 13. Back on 1145 UT on the 14th, but I did note an empty carrier again at 1300 UT later that morning. They are back on this morning (Jul 15). It seems like there’s a lack of human oversight here… Have a great week! Chris KC5IIE July 16: Chris, Many tnx for all your monitoring. Deadline is July 20 so if you have anything to add --- like if they ever announce or ID. That`s the same situation I had when I did hear it for over an hour several weeks ago [all music, album trax with pauses, no announcements or IDs whatsoever for over an hour including hourtops]. Lately too much storm noise. 73, Glenn July 17: Sure thing Glenn, I checked it a couple times yesterday and will continue to do so through the week. It seems to be audible after 630 AM CT; I haven`t been able to copy in the evenings. Have a great week! 73 Chris KC5IIE July 19: Interesting change this morning on this. I tuned in at 1132 UT to hear the close of “Headlines Through a Catholic Lens”, followed by discussion of daily prayer. The signal was very tough to copy, but I believe I heard “This is Catholic Radio News” at 1143. The signal pretty much gone by 1200 (I was hoping for that elusive ID). This afternoon they’re back to nonstop music. Google shows the Catholic Radio Network is based in KC, MO and has affiliates in Kansas, Colorado and Missouri, no reference to KVIS though, and no affiliate on 910 kc. I’ll check it out again in the AM. 73 Chris KC5IIE July 20: False alarm, Glenn, the station I copied yesterday (and today) is KATH in Frisco, TX, TOH ID with slogan “Radio for your Soul”, affiliate of the Guadalupe Radio Network at 1200 UT. I think KVIS is still playing nonstop music (as I copied late yesterday). 73 Chris KC5IIE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 106.9, July 20 at 1736 UT, ad for First National Bank of Elk City & Sayre, YL with 100-degree weather: KTIJ 106.9 ELK CITY OK CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO CONTINUOUS HIT MUSIC, 106.9 THE ZONE 100.0 299.0 34-58-39 99-24-35 4305 K-HIT 726-5656 Kidd Kraddick Morning Show & Continuous Hit Music! foxradio.fm Top 40 Another fruitless check for Es but tropo up from W OK, also 96.5 KECO, 99.3 KCLI -- tho 99.3 first had another atop, maybe Es.

Some area DTV tropo enhancement, UT July 20 after 0508: RF 21, 40-1 KHBS-DT, Ft Smith AR brief decode an no chance to check out its four channels; its site is in OKLAHOMA! RF 17, 10-1 KTENNBC Ada; 10-2 KTEN-CW; 10-3 KTEN-ABC; all in solid so Enid local K17JN-D must be off. Meanwhile have had BAD signal on 17, which may also have been KTEN before it got a boost. Fixed antenna toward OKC also favors Ada almost. Reminds me of KTEN`s situation long ago in analog era really on 10: one signal, but sharing NBC and ABC programming, apparently cherry-picking. Networx must have put up with it, as was long a 2-station market with KXII 12 Ardmore, which also did a share, IIRC, CBS and NBC. At least without cable, this area a bit too far from OKC, and DFW. In this opening also some of the regular Tulsans (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN.
