** CANADA. 14670 CUSB, June 22 at 1242, CHU still going, best here, VP on 7850, inaudible on 3330, already full-day path.
14670 constantly tuned starting at 1355; VP signal now in noise level, and the voice announcements become inaudible, just the beeps, which appear to stop at 1410* as planned, to CLOSE DOWN FOREVER, an old, once reliable SW friend!! Everybody was monitoring this, but I do not attempt to quote all that; see the WOR Indian Ocean group. Seems there were some pirates on 7850 toward the end (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184 AM, June 22 at 2205, no skip on CB, but local signals here discussing who owns an Enid address; contact is on 27185 AM, lots of hets back & forth with other stations too. Mismatch not so obvious if listening in AM mode (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 93.1, June 22 at 1945 UT, NEW local mono signal in Enid, ruining what was a good `open` DX frequency, and also ACI to anything on 92.9 & 93.3. Fox Sports Radio, long string of ads and promos for FSN1 TV etc., as I am attentively monitoring for legal ID at ToH 2000 UT: there it is, ONLY for 1390 KCRC & 1640 KZLS! Off to a great start, failing to ID this transmitter!! So now we have stupid FSR occupying three rather than two local channels. I check FCC LMS. It`s K226BR, Fac #156415, now owned by Chisholm Trail Broadcasting, yet still shown as relaying KIMY 93.9 Watonga! Which was its source until it crashed several years ago under a previous owner. Says it`s licensed and silent --- NOT! What do they know? Further FCC info: Application File Number: BLFT-20120718ABT Record Type: FX NAD83 Coordinates: 36 23' 48.1" N 97 52' 39.2" W Channel: 226 Class: D Domestic Status: Elevation: 381 meters Effective Radiated Power: 0.25 kW FX Antenna Site 1 Antenna Type: Non-Directional Number of Sections: Wavelength Spacing: RCAMSL: 442 meters HAAT: 67.5 meters Overall antenna height above ground: 91 meters Map shows site is at the NE corner of Broadway & Grand in downtown Enid, i.e. the decrepit Broadway Tower, which also holds 91.1 and I don`t know whut all. Later checking on two portables, 93.1 runs about 2 seconds ahead of 1640, but almost synch with 1390. 1640 site is more remote. Some months ago I had sporadic local carriers on 93.1 downtown, maybe also from this (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, June 22 at 2203, VOT English not off the air, in fact somewhat readable at S9+10/20 direct, slightly stronger than 11780 Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2352 monitoring: confirmed Monday June 22 at 1935 the 1930 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 6160.000+ and 3975.001-, both S9/+10 into UTwente.

Thanks this week to Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, for a generous seasonal check on a US bank for Summer Solstice, to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 Or one may support this non-commercial public service program via PayPal not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17790 & 9955, June 22 at 2210, both WRMIs are not off the air, but very weak direct; 9955 during Wavescan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 12050, June 22 at 2216, WEWN off again, also earlier check today; once again ceasing to be a SW station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 14721-14777 approx., June 22 at 0708, multi-carrier, multi-tones beating against each other, S9 in center. At least avoiding CHU. What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 97.3, June 22 at 2018 UT in downtown Enid finding no mail in Box 1684, dead air in $tereo, local strength, but not audible a semihour later at home. Perhaps an idle RF feeder in a parked vehicle. IDs should be required on these -- at least by RDS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0233 UT June 23 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
