** CANADA. 15034 USB, May 25 at 2149, Trenton Military VOLMET back to plain USB, no reduced carrier as there was around 1400 today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 17820, May 25 at 2146, open carrier S8/+10 direct. This matches nicely the Aoki listing of CNR-11 Tibetan starting at *2155 from Dongfang, Hainan site. HFCC & EiBi show 17820 continuously from 0505 to 0205. But makes no sense to be aiming 16 degrees from there in SE China as in HFCC for CIRAF target 44NW which is NE China. Propagationally, I am not at all sure this be coming from the NNW as from SE China, rather than NNE from e.g. East Turkistan. Please run TDOA on this; I`m having trouble getting that to work (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRAN [non]. 15765, May 26 at 0629, JBA signal, presumably per EiBi, Iran International TV at 04-19 via BULGARIA.

RF 17, May 25 at 2248 UT, I notice that K17JN-D, the multi-channel 3ABN satellator in Enid always mis-IDing as K17JI-D, is off the air again. Believe I may have noticed it still on the air a day or two ago. It has had protracted absences before, but now it may be gone for good, as has applied to move it to Oklahoma City. FWIW, it had been Enid`s only local TV signal, still able to penetrate my broken antenna. Facility ID: 181675.

But it`s always been in Enid! At least for r-e purposes, even tho it`s 100 km away, Enid is a subset of OKC market, like Concho, Norman, etc. I inquired of the sccsolutions address above whether it would come back in Enid or move to OKC. Reply from Rodney Phillips: ``Thank you for contacting me. Currently there is an issue with the electrical that should be resolved shortly. Our intention is to stay in Enid, however I would like to move from that tower location because there are constant issues. I’m not having much luck finding another tower in the area.
