** OKLAHOMA. Since my last observation Oct 16 as in DXLD 9-077 that KGYN Guymon
was very weak to inaudible in the daytime here in Enid, contrary to usual
adequate groundwave signal on non-direxional 10 kW pattern, I have continued to
check 1210, mainly on the caradio when aroundriving, especially in western
Enid, and it had remained the same.
But Nov 22 at 2045 UT it was back to its old self, with country music and 2053
ID as ``serving five states … US Country, KGYN 1210``. So I am even more
convinced that in the interim they had been stuck on the direxional night
pattern westward, null eastward, even in the daytime, and/or at much reduced
power. Signal quite steady and I don`t think skywave had kicked in yet, nor on
other frequencies north/eastward, tho it would also have been weaker that way
while direxional-daytime.
BTW, from the middle of No Man`s Land, it would be hard *not* to serve five
states. But that sounds a lot more impressive than KGWA-960, Enid, Garfield
County, proudly but too modestly asserting ``serving 5 of the greatest counties
in Oklahoma`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Wouldn`t you know it, I spoke too soon about KGYN 1210 Guymon
being back to normal with daytime groundwave signal reaching as far as Enid, as
heard Nov 22. 24 hours later, Nov 23, also monitoring on caradio in western
Enid, at several chex around 1945-2115 UT, nothing heard at all. Except a very
weak SAH from who knows what marginal signals. KGYN could have been off the
air. Something is certainly going on there with its transmission problems
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, KEOR, Nov 23, several chex 1945-2045 UT, back to playing
album cuts, sometimes with long pauses, old jazz songs, Billie Holliday? No
more DJ or highly-produced 1340 simulcast. By 2115 KMOX was dominating
frequency altho KEOR carrier still seemed to be there. What`s next? (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
