Yes, I know MW starts at 300 kHz, but may include LW
beacons below that for sake of completeness. It also
extends above to 3000 kHz. I also include reports of
harmonix originating with MW stations.

** CANADA. 362 MCW kHz, Oct 17 at 0611 UT, dash and SB, 500 watt ND
beacon at Greater Sudbury, Ont.

346 MCW kHz, Oct 17 at 0714 UT, dash and YXL, 500 watt NDB at Sioux
Lookout, Ont. Tough copy but must be this regular (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0645 UT, NDB in Stillwater, SW, is
JBA: reconfirmed on, but nowhere near the signal it once had (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0645, FBY, NDB in Fairbury NE, is JBA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 365 MCW kHz, Oct 17 at 0704 UT, ND beacon SYZ, new one for

** U S A. 1130, Oct 18 at 1512 UT, YL DJ on KLEY Wellington KS with
slogan in passing as ``The Wave``, NOT ``Red Dirt Country`` as in

Also confirmed Saturday October 21 at 1948 about 17 minutes into so
started circa 1931 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+16 into nearby SDR. Also
the 1930s on WRMI webcast-only and WRN North America stream.

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 22 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15 into
nearby SDR, already at 0300, about 20 minutes into so started way
early circa 0240, the nominal 0315v, so would have been finished by
0310; Vern has to insert his own ID every dekaminute, often
interrupting a word or thought of mine. He also has to cut my opening
billboard to minimize the amount of music relayed; but is it OK if
there be music on a clip? I don`t let that influence what I may
insert.

UNIDENTIFIED. 1430 kHz, Oct 16 at 0233 UT, strong open carrier/dead
air dominating at S9+10, occasional dips to S9. No stations in OK or
nearby have favorable night patterns thisaway, but several ND day
patterns + failure to modulate make this intriguing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

GLENN HAUSER`S WEEKLY LOG ROUNDUPS

Yes, I know MW starts at 300 kHz, but may include LW
beacons below that for sake of completeness. It also
extends above to 3000 kHz. I also include reports of
harmonix originating with MW stations.

OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Oct 9 at 1526, JB detectable SW, 25 watt
NDB at Stillwater, vs line noise level of S9. Had not been able to
hear it for many weeks, if really on air all the time.

U S A. My high line noise level has abated only slightly on LW/MW,
and/or conditions have improved only slightly, allowing me to detect
again some of my `regular` MCW ND beacons:

293 kHz, Oct 9 at 0726, FBY, Fairbury NE, 25 watts
326 kHz, Oct 9 at 0730, MA, Midland TX, 400 watts
329 kHz, Oct 9 at 0731, PMV, Plattsmouth NE, 25 watts
See also OKLAHOMA.

CANADA [and non]. 332 MCW kHz, Oct 11 at 0705, QT, 1000 watt ND
beacon at Thunder Bay ON, after months, finally able to JB copy it vs
noise level, marginally improved conditions, and underneath it, IC,
400 watts at Wichita KS.

CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Oct 12 at 0642, dash and YXL is JBA, S9/+20
including intolerable line noise level. 500 watts from SiouX Lookout,
Ontario, not flagged as facing decommission. Last winter so regular
that seldom relogged, but the last time barely pulled was June 26, and
before that, April 29.

U S A. 365 MCW kHz, Oct 15 at 0650, JBA non-Canadian beacon, or two
mixing, hard to differentiate, but I think I hear AA, which is 100
watts from Fargo/Harwood ND; heard before, last Feb 22. Many other
tantalizing NDB carriers vs the high line noise level.

U S A. Oct 4 at 1820, I`m QRX for the much publicized nationwide
Emergency Alert test: tuned to 91.7 KOSU, 740 KRMG, 12160 WWCR. First
heard on 91.7 saying it runs from 2:20 to 2:40 pm Eastern; a few sex
later on 740; 550 KFRM slow on uptake if ever; not heard interrupting
a SW station -- who cares about that?! However, it was over in much
less than a minute, stations resuming programming, as I hurriedly
scanned some other AM stations. As for what happened on cell phones, I
have no idea. Big deal? TV also on some cable channel, unknown as
can`t monitor everything at once. However, Optimum had warned us
yesterday this was coming and might have to reset cable tuners. There
was no real-time msg about this in my email inboxes, nor spam folders
-- who cares?

U S A. Annular solar eclipse morning of Saturday October 14: You don`t
need a transmitter to study radio propagation inward. I`m thinking
some Las Vegas NV area MW stations might be good prospects to bounce
into OK as the eclipse passes thru New Mexico; if we can find a clear
frequency, like 840 KXNT? Never mind the little NM station in the
middle. 670 KMZQ; 870 KLSQ; 1100 KWWN; or 1540 KENT - the more
powerful ones, 5, 10, 25 or 50 kW.

U S A. No luck on daytime MWDX during the Eclipse, 1620-1640 Oct
14. Drove NW of Enid but could not get far enough to escape horrible
line noise. Would have required advance scouting even further for
quietude. At least we saw the bite projected thru a pinhole; vs a
shiversome windchill.

** U S A. The blasting high line noise level I was complaining about
has diminished somewhat but not eliminated. Not sure if this result
from any OG&E effort. Now it`s more sporadic bursting than continuous.
Unrelated, but my Icom ICR-75 is now sidelined as its audio output is
no longer normal even after warmup or leaving it on continually. The
JRC NRD-545 is now my primary rx, using the same 100` E/W longwire as
the Icom, u.o.s. Frequency measurements to 3 decimal places not
practical, only 2 at most. Noise level is still worst on LW, S7/S9,
but slight lowering again JB audiblizes fringe NDBs in the daytime
beyond Oklahoma, Sept 30 at 1539:

332 kHz MCW, IC, Wichita KS, listed 400 watts
395 kHz MCW, CA, Newton/Harvs KS, 25 watts
407 kHz MCW, HRU, Herington KS, 25 watts

I`ll know things are again close to normal if I can hear in daytime:
293 kHz MCW, FBY, Fairbury NE, 25 watts just beyond Kansas.
I am still not hearing 255 kHz MCW, SW, Stillwater OK. If really on as
some allege, must be on reduced power from listed 25 watts
That leaves the only day audible Okies:
341 kHz MCW, EI, Enid, 25 watts but JBA despite proximity
515 kHz MCW, PN, Ponca City, 25 watts but always much stronger than
anything lower on MW or LW - maybe partly due to better receiver
sensitivity and shorter antenna (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Sept 25 at 0615 UT steady S9+20 of classic rock
dominates: suspect KLEY Wellington KS reactivated with usual 250 X its
legal night power of 1 watt. Had been absent since Sept 19. Yes, same
steady S9+20 rock on daytime groundwave at 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 1290, follow-up to my unsuccessful attempts to monitor KMMM
Pratt KS, since I am south of it but blocked by KWFS, while KMMM aims
west; from Linda Brodsky, IRCA list, Sept 23: ``KMMM, Pratt KS
dominates 1290 kHz most nights in Golden. Their current slogan is
"True Country." There are many IDs between songs. Recording of recent
ID attached. -- Linda Brodsky, Golden CO`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

September 29 at 2054 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only,
S9+10/13 into nearby Noale SDR, and for a change no CCI, so Smooth

forever. 2059 usual false s/off, 2100 Feature Story News, 2108 start
`The Shortwave Report` again with Dan Roberts, but bound to be chopped
off air in a few more minutes. Yup, -2111.7*, and still nothing else
on open frequency.

Confirmed Saturday September 30 at 1928 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15
into nearby SDR, about 4 minutes into so started early circa 1924.

Confirmed UT Sunday October 1 starting at 0309 the 0315v on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, MO, S9+15/18 into nearby SDR with some storm crashes.

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. ``Hi Glenn, About your NDBs mentioned. 350 RG
is decommissioned; this happened several times but it kept coming
back, it appears to finally have taken effect, last reported 1/23. 255
SW still on, reported 8/29/23; 332 IC still on, reported 8/27/23.

** OKLAHOMA. Sept 21 around 18 UT, OG&E crew spotted at work nearby:
they are replacing an electric pole for some reason, but they say the
transformer atop is not a new one. I thought maybe this was finally in
response to my line noise complaint, and it does seem to have
diminished somewhat, but still very buzzy as I approach the pole later
with my DX-398 on MW and SW. It had also been a noise peak area
driving by on caradio. They blamed a new cable TV provider installing
on their poles (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 860, Sept 20 at 1854 UT, KKOW Pittsburg KS, is off! During
routine bandscan from ~25 km north of Enid. Did not know it had any
problems; neighbor 690 KGGF Coffeyville KS is VG as usual, both 10 kW.
On 860 seems a JBA fast SAH but would not expect any daysigs from
others nearest in TX, AR, IA. On 860 and above there is lite line
noise audible even tho no powerlines in sight where parked along US
81/60/64 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 860, Sept 21 circa 18 UT, KKOW Pittsburg KS is back on air,
after missing yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Sept 19 at 1635 UT, no signal on caradio from KLEY
Wellington KS; despite high storm and line noise level, should be
audible as usual daytimes. At 1655 I get a JBA carrier on the R75; on
the DX 398 I can`t get a DF fix. Could be image, or: how about running
``one watt`` night power in day rather than 250 watt day power at
night? So KLEY seems totally off the air, and not merely dead air as
often. Meanwhile sibling KKLE Winfield KS 1550 is quite audible with
bluegrass, altho always weaker than KLEY when it`s normal, and DF for
NNE/SSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR){Or: daytime GW remnant of KWKH LA?}

** U S A. 1130, Sept 20 at 1656 & 1855 UT chex, KLEY Wellington KS is
still silent. Still off c. 1800 Sept 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1290, Sept 20 at 1857 UT, ``Texhoma`s NewsTalk 1290``
slogan, i.e. KWFS Wichita Falls TX, with barely an undertrace of KMMM
Pratt KS, on caradio north of Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

GLENN HAUSER`S WEEKLY LOG ROUNDUPS

Published by early UT Thursday each week, the original complete
all-band logs in one merged alfabetical file:
http://worldofradio.com/Hauserlogs.html

MEXICO [and non]. 570, Sept 4 at 0550, listening to a household
Panasonic radio oriented to favor N/S paths, hearing music mixed with
talk stations. 0554 ID as XEBJB Monterrey and Mexican national anthem
long version to about 0558, choral, maybe children`s high voices. IRCA
Mexican Log shows:

``570 XEBJB NL SAN NICOLAS DE LOS GARZA CST Full (4:40) children's
choral just before or after 6 am. Full (4:40) children's choral just
before or after Midnight. Phone: 81-8125-3500 WebsiteNone)`` And::

``XEBJB NL Monterrey 5000 500 La Voz 24h REL/CCR This channel is being
leased, and currently has no web presence. ABC Noticias format moved
to XEVB 1310AM in 2023. No longer //XHGBO 92.1FM General Bravo. Still
active on AM 7/23 (logged by DXer), but noted falling off the air
repeatedly 6/23 per SDR monitoring``

``San Nicolás de los Garza, sometimes known only as San Nicolás, is a
city and coextensive municipality in the Mexican state of Nuevo León
that is part of the Monterrey metropolitan area. Wikipedia
Mayor: Daniel Carrillo, Weather: 101°F (38°C)`` = same as Enid.

I`ve always wondered where the BJB calls came from: a slogan in
Spanish, or someone`s initials? Probably not from B. J. Bingham,
erstwhile TVDXer in Festus MO.

At 0600, more signal from two US stations, one with Fox news, the
other CBS news. One with ID as WNAX Yankton SD. The other must be KLIF
Dallas. After news at 0606 one goes into C2CAM. NRC AM Log unravels
which be which: WNAX with CBS and Red Eye Radio; KLIF with Fox and
C2CAM. BTW, when noise level permit, both US stations make it here on
daytime groundwave, WNAX twice as far way under KLIF, née WBAP=WFAA in
sharetime deal with 10X bigger 820 transmitter, both? situated N of
midway between D/FW, Grapevine.

OKLAHOMA. About the blasting line noise level in Enid. OG&E
troubleshooter visited about 1330 Sept 6 and agreed he`s also
hearing it and is getting to work on locating source, but could take a
few days. Then of course repair work can start. Meanwhile I`m hearing
it on MW wherever I drive in Enid; even QRNs the stoplight noise. And
on home rigs it`s all over the SW bands.

OKLAHOMA. Sept 12 I waste a sesquihour on the phone waiting for
OG&E agent to pick up in ``less than an hour``, before giving up.
Trying to get some axion on my week-ago complaint of intolerable line
noise level here and thru much of Enid. They need more agents!

SINT MAARTEN. 1300 kHz, Sept 4 at 1935, I bring up the TWR
Bonaire SDR to check out RHC 15140, q.v., and find it`s tied up but I
may camp upon someone listening to 1300; and hear music. What could
that be? WRTH 2023 shows one Venezuelan, a deportes station in
Caracas, surely not that, likely kaput at 245 km = 136 st miles.

Soon quits so I get 1300 myself at 1936 to hear an ad in English in
US$, and www.pjd2radio.com so that`s it. WRTH has it in the fq list
for West Indies, page 717:
1300 SXM 1 [kW] PJD2 V. of St Maarten, Phillipsburg
but NOT under SAINT [sic] MAARTEN, the very name of which would be a
mixture of English and Dutch; where that call is shown only for FM
102.7 on page 441. 1300 is weak S5 but fairly steady overwater from
one part of Caribbean Netherlands to another, not bad, 862 km = 535 st
miles = 465 nmi. 1945 playing ``Love, Sweet Love``, 1950 hardsell ad
in English. 1955 mentions 102.7. Guess what, that website does not
lead to a radio station but to a blog in --- Thai!! Except for a Roman
name UFASLOT, about gambling. Stranger and stranger. Here`s the
correct radio link:
https://pjd2radiosxm.com/
Slow loading. ``Welcome to the Voice of St Maarten --- We are proud to
be providing the caribbean with the best in broadcast radio for over
35 years. We have two channels 102.7FM and 1300AM. Our Listeners are
guaranteed to get the latest in news in and around our community. We
have the most talented collection of DJ’s on the island to keep our
listener entertained and update with the latest music``

And with separate AM and FM player linx. If you play one, the other
stops. Maybe not/always // but are the same at 2018 in a YL talk show
about self-images, social media influencers. Ends at 2043, adstring
-2050 for flights to Bonaire, St. Maarten Concrete, Caribbean Lottery,
etc. Seems that ``SXM`` is common lingo for the place, not just ITU.
``Power 102.7 is here to cool it down``, 2051 back to music.

Brings back memories of my visit to SXM tho I don`t recall going to
the station itself, implied above to exist only since 1987. Is there
any Dutch on it, or even French?

WORLD OF RADIO 2208 monitoring: confirmed Friday September 15 at 2045
the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, Villa Estense;
nearest SDR Noale is busy but Parma gets it poorly, S6/S7 very noisy
with music QRM understation. I guess that`s still Brighton

Note that some items quoted on WOR 2208 are no longer correct already:
Ben Dawson says WFME 1560 does not use a ``slant-wire antenna``, but
rather a slant-wire *feed* to a vertical tower, which is entirely
different.

``World of Radio is the premiere news and information radio service
produced by respected shortwave journalist Glenn Hauser.``

Tnx, but don`t you believe the imaginary first time shown,
``5130 Su 0400-0430 UTC Su 12:00AM 12:30AM EST`` [sic]
which was never correct.

Until the next, Best of DX and 73 de Glenn

Domestic, Aug 21-Sept 17, 2023

All times and dates strictly UT!

Rx: IC-R75 with 100` E-W longwire;

inside E-W or inside randomwire N-S;
Nissan stock caradio as specified.
Or remote receivers when specified.

These logs are excerpts from my daily
all-band reports, mainly SWBC, also

GLENN HAUSER`S WEEKLY LOG ROUNDUPS

Published by early UT Thursday each week, the original complete
all-band logs in one merged alfabetical file:
http://worldofradio.com/Hauserlogs.html

Yes, I know MW starts at 300 kHz, but may include LW
beacons below that for sake of completeness. It also
extends above to 3000 kHz. I also include reports of
harmonix originating with MW stations.

OKLAHOMA [and non]. LW/MW beacon reception has been pitiful. Still
plenty of summer storm noise and also my OG&E line noise. The only
reliable regulars are 515 kHz, PN, Ponca City; and always JBA despite
proximity, 341 kHz, EI, Enid. Former regulars 350 kHz, RG, WRWA OKC,
and 255 kHz, SW, Stillwater remain absent, maybe forever. I have been
hesitant to conclude the 332 kHz, IC, Wichita KS, is off, but
unconfirmed for weeks. At 0102 Sept 17 I get a trace, maybe of a 332
carrier. I`ll be delighted to hear any further beacons, let alone
several Canadians regular in the winter, if they still exist. There
was one on 332 mixing with and atop wIChita.

OKLAHOMA. About the blasting line noise level in Enid. OG&E
troubleshooter visited about 1330 Sept 6 and agreed he`s also
hearing it and is getting to work on locating source, but could take a
few days. Then of course repair work can start. Meanwhile I`m hearing
it on MW wherever I drive in Enid; even QRNs the stoplight noise. And
on home rigs it`s all over the SW bands.

OKLAHOMA. Sept 12 I waste a sesquihour on the phone waiting for
OG&E agent to pick up in ``less than an hour``, before giving up.
Trying to get some axion on my week-ago complaint of intolerable line
noise level here and thru much of Enid. They need more agents!

U S A. As PS to my log of 570, XEBJB, Monterrey, 0550 Sept 4:
At 0600, more signal from two US stations, one with Fox news, the
other CBS news. One with ID as WNAX Yankton SD. The other must be KLIF
Dallas. After news at 0606 one goes into C2CAM. NRC AM Log unravels
which be which: WNAX with CBS and Red Eye Radio; KLIF with Fox and
C2CAM. BTW, when noise level permit, both US stations make it here on
daytime groundwave, WNAX twice as far way under KLIF, née WBAP=WFAA in
sharetime deal with 10X bigger 820 transmitter, both? situated N of
midway between D/FW, Grapevine.

OKLAHOMA. Cf. July reports about KVIS 910 Miamuh, which was playing
music with no announcements: ``Re: KVIS 910 monitoring --- Hi Glenn,
Just to follow up on this, I`ve been through Grove several times in
the past few weeks. It appears KVIS is off the air. This may be old
news but I wanted to follow up. Hope you’re doing great! Chris
KC5IIE`` Krug, Tulsa, Sept 6.

UNIDENTIFIED. 1240.23 approx., Sept 6 at 0345, JBA carrier het on
plus side of 1240 graveyard pileup. Nothing that far off, domestic or
otherwise, in mwoffsets. Also a weaker het on the minus side. With
hundreds of US stations on channel, what`s amazing is that more of
them not be askew, likewise for 1230, 1340, 1400, 1450 and 1490.

Believed to be KCRT Trinidad CO, as last reported June 26, *2021*:
U S A. 1240+, June 26 at 0604 het on the plus side of this
graveyard on the DX-398 looping WNW/ESE? Roughly 1240.2. Likely KCRT
Trinidad CO, long askew. But *still* not on MWOffsets list. Here`s a
review of my logs over the years and the original report, reverse
order: {back to 2013y including 1240.20 exactly}
https://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2021_0624_0630.txt

U S A. 1290 kHz, Sept 5 at 0020, I`m trying to monitor KMMM
Pratt KS, my closest on frequency, to determine its current slogan and
format which allegedly have changed. But dominant signal is pukeworthy
Mark Levin far-right talkshow, must be KWFS Wichita Falls TX, roughly
colinear from south, not north.

Looking at direxional patterns via radio-locator, KMMM favors west,
not south with some nulls/notches more or less in our direxion. By
0037, KWFS gets a medium SAH from something else. KWFS vanishes at
0045 which is its official sunset, cutting from 5000 to 73 watts
night. 0045 is also SS for KMMM, cutting from 5000 to 500 watts and
even more notched toward me.

However, in first few minutes of monitoring before 0030 I heard
slogans both ``Mighty 12-90`` and ``News-Talk 1290`` which I thought
were both KWFS. But NRC AM Log of last year shows KWFS is the
`News-Talk` and KMMM `The Mighty 1290` with country format. But no
such music being heard.

Now at 0048 I am hearing a music station, KMMM? No, it`s KIVY
``Austin`` TX really Crockett. Can`t get FCC AMQuery to reach it, but
Sept SS for another Austinite, KLBJ 590, was 0030. KIVY IDs heard a
few times plugging its two puny translator frequencies, 102.9 and
105.5, not 1290. Format is supposed to be NOStalgic music per
radio-locator, yet its slogan ``Your News Talk Central`` -- slightly
self-contradictory! Per NRC AM Log of last year, KIVY goes from 2500
watts day to 175 night, and NOS slogan is ``America`s Best Music`` --
indeed that`s what I hear at a much later 0648 check when it`s
still dominant on 1290 into DX-398 oriented N/S. On my E/W longwire
there is some talk station at 0650, // 1110 KFAB so that would be
C2CAM. Anyhow we still don`t know about KMMM for sure. Official Sept
sunrise for all three 1290s is 1215, if someone can check around
then.

At 1832, precisely local mean noon at this longitude I check 1290
again when the only possible signals would be groundwave, not KIVY.
Two weak signals, the stronger talk, the weaker music, presumably KWFS
and KMMM.

Difficultized by huge line noise level, but at least with DX-398 it`s
somewhat nullable E/W vs the stations N/S. Later I have to spend an
hour on the phone until OG&E agent pixup, and I can file a complaint
about the line noise, which is not only around my place, but all the
way many blox to downtown Enid as I just drove my caradio.

U S A. An expedition some 10/15 miles north of Enid allows me to
check 1550 KKLE Winfield KS better than I can hear it at home. In a
previous report I heard sibling station 1130 KLEY in nearby Wellington
utter a joint ID for them as well as several FM outlets. But Sept 10
at 1943 they are certainly not //: one caradio but tuning back and
forth, 1550 with music, 1130 with ad. After 2000, KKLE goes from a
banjo bluegrass tune, to country, which is exactly the format listed
in the new NRC AM Log. KLEY however sounds more rockish to me than
country whenever I check it, and it has been modulating lately. Never
heard the slogan ``Red Dirt Country``. BTW an FCC report says the FM
translator of 1130, which is all that matters, has changed from 100.3
to 104.1 MHz, unknown why. 100.3 was relatively clear but never heard
this far away, and 104.1 is impossible with OKC fullpower on it.

Another check on the caradio inside Enid, Sept 11 circa 2005: 1130
KLEY ID jointly for KKLE and two FMs, probably their translators. But
once again, 1550 with weaker but sufficient signal is NOT // 1130!!
Playing bluegrass while 1130 goes on with classic rock. True, I have
not heard how 1550 IDs, but it can`t be the Okie, KYAL Sapulpa/Tulsa
which is a Sports Animal. At 2143 on home rig, 1550 promos as
bluegrass 24/7; and I think My Town Media, as below. Does have a fast
SAH, probably de KYAL.

These stations used to belong to Rocking M Media LLC, as if on a
branding iron, M atop an arc, as still shown at radio-locator; but FCC
LMS, which is allegedly kept more up to date than ``unexpected
error``, AM Query, says licensee is My Town Media Inc., but expired
01/04/2023! which would seem to imply it should be off the air. Ditto
for KLEY. But ``Facility Status Date` is 08/12/2021! That`s MM/DD/YYYY
format per other entries. And I believe the two are conjoined twins,
axually operated from the same studio, or rather computer bank.

U S A. 1550 kHz, Sept 10 at 2359 on E/W LW, I`m checking still
tuned here for a legal ID from KKLE, q.v. No call letters, but
``greatest hits of all time, Motown(?) 107.5``. Looking thru all 56
entries on 1550 in the new NRC AM Log, it`s not the first one, WLOR
Huntsville AL, 50000/44 watts which does have a puny FM translator on
``107.5, The Beat``. But gotta be this, also likelier by proximity:
KESJ St. Joseph MO, 2500/500, ``Joe Town 107.5``! Another translator
tail wagging the AM dog.

NORTH AMERICA. 1730 kHz, Sept 4 at 0133, DJ refers to his
pennywhistle signal being heard in Maryland, rock music but off at
0138*. Monitoring via SE Michigan SDR better than a SW Ontario one,
tnx to this tip on the WOR iog:
``[WOR] Fred Flintstone Pirate 1730 khz @ 2120 ET 9/3/23 --- The KRAP
AM Stereo "Fred Flintstone" pirate is active on 1730 khz at 2121 ET
with an ID and out of a Chicago song and other 1970s pop music.
Beautiful audio and S9+ signal here in SW Ontario Canada. Sean Welsh,
Dufferin County, ON CA, Icom IC-8600, W6LVP Loop.``
Several other reports here, agreeing it went off at 0138* UT:

Never came back by 0148.
