** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, Wed Oct 14 at 1810, another try at English
from RTA via FRANCE. Again poor signal at UTwente, and even worse to
Spain, South Africa, Qatar and Kuwait SDRs, but ICELAND is sufficient
off the back S4-S6 and echoey as I pay attention from 1825: now in
French; 1835 pause for Qur`an; 1838 back to French; 1844 m?t?o avec
musique; 1846 item about Nations-Unies; 1851 Arabic to 1859* off. No
English during this period, so is there ever, anymore? BTW, m?t?o
meaning weather is missing from my neat handy little Collins
French/English 760-page pocket dixionary first published in 1952y:
must be a neologism (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 248-MCW kHz, Oct 14 at 0614 UT, ND beacon dash and WG,
which is 1000 watts from WinnipeG, Manitoba, *much* stronger than the
others now and often:
250-MCW kHz, Oct 14 at 0613 UT, ND beacon dash and FO, which is 1600
watts from Flin Flon, Manitoba. ``Flin Flon shares the distinction of
being named after a character in an adventure novel with Tarzana,
California.`` --- bing. 2066 km = 1284 statute miles from Enid.
258-MCW kHz, Oct 14 at 0612 UT, ND beacon dash and ZSJ which is 1000
watts from Sandy Lake, Ontario, not South Africa. I was tuned to
257-USB. Wikipedia:
``Sandy Lake First Nation (or Negaw-zaaga'igan Nitam-Anishinaabe,
Oji-Cree: ??? ?????? ??? ?????) is an independent Oji-Cree First
Nations band government. The First Nations community, in the west part
of Northern Ontario, is located in the Kenora District, 227 km (141
mi) northeast of Red Lake, Ontario.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 19, Oct 14 at 1515 UT, still no signal from KAUT OKC.
Rabbitears.info shows it has transitioned to ATSC 3.0 as of October 8,
the only Market 50 station so far, and as related to KFOR. None others
in OK or KS, and in TX only in Austin and DFW. Very few overall.
No signal registers visibly, of course, nor even on the STB meter, but
presumably is there, and enough to block any DX of either standard.
KAUT ``Freedom 43`` programming in ATSC 1.0 is allegedly now on the RF
27 KFOR transmitter, but I am not getting any sign of it, just KFOR
and its usual -2, -3 and -4 subchannels. Surely the STB would step on
to -5 or whatever? Rabbitears.info is not showing programming transfer
to KFOR.
I asked KWTV/KSBI engineering director Jack Mills about this, and he
thinx the only way to get KAUT in would be to rescan. But STBs should
not require that, and my other TV which does, Sanyo, I never want to
rescan since it may miss marginal signals at the moment which are
already scanned in! Never buy a TV which can be set up for tuning
*only* by scanning! Cannot even add or delete channels at will (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. RF 20, Oct 14 at 1513 UT, KTXS 12-1 is decoding, tnx to
tropo blob as forecast by Hepburn, from marginal here to levels 5-6
SSW into W central TX, i.e. Sweetwater station at 494 km = 307 miles
city-to-city. With ABC, The View sporadically decoding, and also at
1532, CW on 12-2 and MeTV on 12-3. Otherstation in market, KRBC NBC
``9`` is now on RF 29 so blocked here by KTUZ or maybe QRMing it. I
had both 9 and 12 many times back in the analog VHF TVDX era. KTXS
runs 530 kW ERP from 1319 feet HAAT per rabbitears.info and is also
direxional skewed eastward toward Abilene, also with beam tilt. Level
1 tropo into S Kansas is enough to inbring sporadically KDCU RF 31
``31``, Derby-Wichita with Univision bug LR at 1523. Both to my
bent-mast and broken antenna at roof-level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Message-ID: <400c4933-7fba-42f3-b2dd-b71a6d77a...@highnoonfilm.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) received word that WPTF 680 ?NewsRadio
680? in Raleigh, North Carolina will be off-air tonight starting at Midnight
Eastern time for a ?couple of hours? according to a message sent from WPTF
Engineer Allan Sherill.
Mr. Sherill explained to CPC Member Paul Walker that the station would be
off-air while performing some maintenance and ?taking measurements.?
WPTF is a 50,000 watt station with a nighttime pattern designed to protect KNBR
in San Francisco. The nighttime pattern also helps to avoid interfering with
WRKO in Boston and CFTR in Toronto.
Alan Sherill was kind enough to provide advance notification of the off-air
period by sending a message via CPC-Member Paul Walker?s Facebook group,
alerting us to this opportunity. The off-air period provides a chance for
DX?ers to pick up weaker signals normally masked by WPTF?s powerhouse signal.
DX?ers on the West Coast should also be listening when the station returns to
the air?as their testing might provide a chance to log WPTF as well.
We?re very grateful to WPTF and Allan Sherill for the notification.

** MADAGASCAR. 13710, Oct 14 at 2109, something new: ``His mother
waited up for him``, repeated over and over --- a secret spy message?
No, alternating with something in Chinese, so a language lesson; first
thought VOA? But next phrase to learn is ``The Bible tells us to wait
patiently on the Lord`` --- oh, oh, better not be VOA. Nothing is
scheduled in the big three on 13710 at this hour, but MWV is on 13710
until 2100 in Arabic. Chinese follows supposed to be on 11610 where
it`s always good here, aimed at Europe, so failed to change frequency!
Wish I had figured this out in time to check whether 11610 were
missing today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 14 at 2205, VOT English inbooming to UTwente at
S9+40 with usual features, but after same old COVID-19 PSA and `Today

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2055 monitoring: confirmed Wed Oct 14 from
2100:18 on WBCQ 7490.06v, S6-S8 direct as reception gradually
improves; jump to 2200 in November will help more.
Also confirmed surprise new time on WRMI 9955, Wed Oct 14 at 2200,
caught by Richard Lemke, Alberta; and now it is on the skedgrid too.

frequent scanthrus. DXMaps did not catch this opening MUF even unto
<19 MHz. OSOB and also not a thing on 16m SWBC band, and probably not
either a single transmission now from anywhere in Hemisphere West
