** AUSTRALIA. 5055, March 22 at 0950 weak music at S2-S4 from 4KZ; unfortunately awake now, I also check 5045 for Unique Radio during a scheduled airing of WORLD OF RADIO. All I can get there is a JJBBA carrier, but at least that implies mode is reduced carrier LSB rather than straight suppressed carrier LSB, a distinxion Tim has never explained. Now on Sat & Sun there will be plenty of chances to hear WOR on stronger stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 12000, March 22 at 0129, RHC English at S7-S8 on this second harmonic of 6000.

Weak 9955 WRMI is not a problem now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 95.3-WBFM, March 22 at 2035 UT, in a quick bandscan while parked on the south side of a store in downtown Enid, something new, talk station, soon IDed as KOKC, and then dual ID with 95.3 FM getting top billing over 1520. Now that KOKC can pretend to be an FM station, even less chance they will ever get 1520 restored to 50 kW. Seems to be too strong for a translator, as the other ones in OKC just don`t make it here over 100 km away. No, it *is* a translator per WTFDA FM Database: K237GE, relaying KOKC-1520 on 95.3 OKLAHOMA CITY OK 0.25 0.25 0.0 0.0 35-32-51 97-29-30 TALK KOKC NEWSTALK 1520`` The zeroes mean HAAT at ground level; rather, not calculated; FCC shows: ``K237GE OK OKLAHOMA CITY FX LIC Licensee: SCREEN DOOR BROADCASTING, LLC Service Designation: FX Translator Station (retransmits signal, different channel than main station) Channel/Class: 237D Frequency: 95.3 MHz Licensed File No.: BLFT-20180913ABF Facility ID number: 143059 CDBS Application ID No.: 1792128 This station relays KOKC (AM).

Surely not the same company owning KOKC 1520. OKC is pretty flat so AGL will be close to AAT, 1030 feet. So it must be on some big TV/FM tower, accounting for its coverage with only 250 watts. But its 60 dbu service contour shows from the NE OKC antenna farm it does reach Edmond, but not Moore or Norman. As I drive away from what must have been a hotspot in Enid, signal gets very unreliable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 101.5-WBFM, circa 2040 UT March 22, KOCD Okeene is still totally of the air, not even 7 seconds now and then (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PHILIPPINES [non]. 9700, 2357 UT March 21, S9 open carrier. Promptly as soon as it is March 21 at , RVA IS once, rustic percussion SE Asian music and Radio Veritas Asia sign-on in language like Thai/Lao, but what is it? Everyone agrees it`s a relay via SMG VATICAN, but lang. is abbr`d as KC in Eibi, kac in Aoki/NDXC --- and LAT in HFCC! Well, this is certainly not Latin tho bits may creep in since it`s RCC programming. WRTH 2019 will spell out the full language name if I can find a match to time and frequency: Kachin, of course, and it`s the *only* RVA broadcast left on SW via anywhere according to this on page 486. And HFCC prolongs same for A-19. Question is, how much longer current pope will allow SMG to continue to exist at all, contrary to his ``let`s get modern`` anti-SW stance. As for Kachin, EiBi says it`s spoken by 900 kilomyanmarianese, a.k.a. Jingpho. Apparently it is the only remote ministry of RVA which wanted to continue on SW. Those Kachins must really be into SWLing! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SURINAME. 4990-, March 22 at 0127, presumed R. Apintie about S5 with undermodulated music.

[HCDX] 'Footstep' carriers
Two very short videos of 15-20 secs each Please watch them and comment https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4pIK0k9 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nA1fAHl-k3g The above two links are from a 'mysterious' source that makes 'footsteps' carriers every 200 kHz . Did it happen to you?? I m not very sure for the source but i think that comes from the grid poles posibly either from the main electricity towers or from the nerby towers of high level electricity of 150kV. They are around 40 m tall and locate not more han 50 m far from the house.
