U S A. 7490-, Sunday August 13 at 2300, especially since CBS-TV `60
Minutes` is going to run more than an hour late due to stupid
golfgame, I stay on WBCQ webcast after `Ginga Brasil` for Harry
Shearer`s `Le Show`, but stream stops at 2302*. I bring up 7490 itself
into Maryland SDR, and it`s also off. Then find 6160, 5130 and 9330
are also off. Must be total power failure at Monticello; of course I
don`t know for sure whether the other frequencies were axually on
until then. By 2312, webcast resumed but not 7490 until *2314 carrier,
*2316 add modulation, and staying on rest of hour. NA5B remote shows
7490 -106 Hz, but we know it`s miscalibrated, see TURKEY. Alexandria
VA is closer at -71 Hz as it puts WWV at 10000 +3/4 Hz, 15000 +5/6 Hz.
9330 still off at 2324, and at much later check 0324 Aug 14. At 0215
August 14 I try the W1NT in NH, which has WWV on 5 and 10 MHz within 1
Hz or less. And 6160 as -67/68 Hz = 6159.9325 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
Nothing noted Aug 18 at 16.35 UT on 5130v kHz.
9330even Proper S=9+15dB signal, English of WBCQ - WLC likely, at 16.20 UT
and also
poor WBCQ signal string visible on 6159.933 kHz at 16.38 UT on Aug 18.

** BRAZIL. 9664.932, Aug 18 at 0659, RVM S1/S3 JBA. Again suffering
from high noise level something in the neighborhood (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CHINA. 13020, Aug 18 at 2327, Chinese vs clickkery 13000-13025 like
OTH radar. A longrunning ChiCom CNR1 jamming vs Sound of Hope
frequency. I had not been in habit of checking this area lately. Also,
13530 at 2330 with JBA music vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, Aug 18 at 0710, R. Rebelde is OFF. No RHCs found on any
band. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9439.994, Aug 18 at 2134, R. Cairo S9+25/45 into UTwente but
with extreme distortion, total loss. Something`s always egregious in
Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EUROPE. 9290.017, Aug 18 at 2010, presumed R. Spaceshuttle
International, poor signal with rock music, interspersed with DJ talk,
Dick Spacewalker, S7/S8 into UTwente, probably too close, getting
residual groundwave or backscatter. 21st anniversary special supposed
to last all weekend, See http://spaceshuttleradio.freeservers.com/
It`s after 1400 Aug 18 but I do not see anything more specific about
birthday schedule than 9290. Website has roster of everyone(?)
reporting or QSLed over the years. I`m there once for: ``21st of April
2012, VOR Extra, 15843 usb``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** IRELAND. 13264 USB, Aug 18 at 2329, YL with VOLMET, about
Copenhagen. This is Shannon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 18 at 1820 UT, KOCD Okeene still dead air in
$tereo for at least the tenth day, first noticed Aug 9 (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Tropo up from OKC, Aug 18 at 0510 UT. On RF 36 I am
getting decode, so explore all the subs into the STB. As I flip thru
the channels, I am getting input from two *different* RF channels.
This is very confusing. At each stop on the virtual span I change to
RF to see where it`s really coming from.
36-1, first the PSIP ID is KUOKCD1 which means it`s RF36;
36-1, later just KUOK which is RF 29. That`s Univision on both
36-2, UNIMAS, RF 29
36-2, UNIMAS, RF 36
36-3, this number is skipped!
36-4, Catchy, RF 36
36-5, H&I, fades below threshold before I can check
36-6, seems another one here I did not get to
For KUOK-CD, RF 36 & virtual 36, rabbitears.info shows:
36-1 KUOK
36-2 Unimas
36-3 [skipped]
36-4 StartTV
36-5 H&I
36-6 3ABN
48-1 Estrella
Catchy is a Comedy channel. Its website does lead to 36.4 KUOK for ZIP
73101:
https://www.catchycomedy.com/schedule/
Rabbiters.info has lots of stations on that net, mostly translators,
but nothing for Market 50, OKC:
https://www.rabbitears.info/search.php?request=network_search&network=Catchy+Comedy
Note: adding to the confusion, the *real* plain old KUOK is in far
Woodward, RF and virtual 35 with UNI, never? seen here, 8 kW ERP. Are
the OKC KUOKs considered as subsidiaries/satellites/relays of the
Woodward one? Surely it`s the other way around. RF 36 site in OKC is
just east of Santa Fe Ave on SE 49th St.
Note also, RF 29 KTUZ with its panoply is really licensed to Shawnee,
which is rather too far out to be considered a suburb of OKC. Its
transmitter site is really among the NE OKC antenna farm, halfway
between Kelley & Eastern a few blox south of Britton Road (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Aug 18 at 2200, token English from SNR, not
opening with multi-lingual IDs so guess that was a fluke or optional.
Again no sign of Justin Coe, just cohostessed by Amy Egan and Maril?n
Quintana. VG signal into Maryland SDR. 2207 first feature is about
some cyclist from Toledo who won the Tour de France and just died at
age 95. 2216 contact info. 2217 forests in flames in Spain, including
Tenerife, interviewing someone there with a very heavy accent hard to
understand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 18 at 2200, VOT English, not off the air, VG
signal into UTwente, mod OK except rather distorted during music. 2222
ending `Weekly Analysis`, music; 2225 multi-lingual ID filler reel;
etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2204 monitoring: NOT confirmed
Friday August 18 at 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz - instead
some preacher or storyteller with a heavy Irish? accent. Maybe same
thing as on the European Gospel Radio stream but not synch. WOR still
shows at this time on the NEXUS-IBA Friday program schedule! Next:
