** OKLAHOMA. 102.7, during FL FM DX opening, May 30 at 2117 UT, not
much signal from KJYO OKC; not obscured by DX, just very weak compared
to the other full-powers from OKC like 100.5, 101.9, 104.1. I do pull
a ``KJ103`` ID JBA at 2355 as I quit. Something must be very wrong.

** U S A. My first sporadic-E FM DX opening this year, May 30 I see an
MUF spike of 107 MHz between here and FL on DXMAP, so out to the car
in the now hot garage, mid-80s at last outside, to DX on the stock
Nissan Sentra 2004 caradio with fender vertical antenna only; all logs
in real time with my own ears, no RDS capability, no internet for
stream comparisons; but research later from my scribbled notes, mainly
the WTFDA FM Database, also in general searching if needed. All times
strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP and
antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz and
vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from disitancefromto.net. I
do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not, and am
not in a competition. Clarifications, correxions welcome.

MUF seems falling and I need some R&R while catching BBC TV news, so
suspend until 2324 when I find Mexico City is incoming, q.v. (Glenn
Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. After a bunch of Florida FM DX, I resume in the car -- see
USA for details, and immediately hear Spanish:

92.1, May 30 at 2324 UT, strong signal with folk? music so not OK;
2331, Spanish ad in pesos, so not Unitedstatesian; 2332 Soriana ad, a
Mexican market nationwide chain, and others in frenetic string; 2345
possibly a different station since now there are ``Radio Disney`` IDs
between every commercial; must have heard at least 6 of them; includes
Walmart and Home Depot, in Spanish. Faded by 2353 when I hear an OKC
ad, i.e. K221FQ, 99 watts of KRMP 1140.

** U S A. A much more intense Es FM DX opening over eastern America,
in progress when I tune in May 31 at 1521 UT until 1625. Mostly Ohio
stations, some New York, Ontario and a French Canadian probably also
Ontario rather than far Québec. Compiling and researching details for
full report may take a day or two (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

**WG Hauser** · 06-02-2023, 08:54 PM

** U S A [and non]. Another sporadic-E FM DX opening, Wednesday May 31
at 1521-1625 UT, from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Ontario. It`s
taken me a couple days to get this compiled and researched as
Thursdays are busy WOR produxion day. Es FM DX: gotta take it whenever
it decides to happen! In the not yet hot garage, on the Nissan Sentra
2004 stock caradio with fender vertical antenna only; all logs in real
time with my own ears, no RDS capability, no recording, no internet
for stream comparisons; but research later from my scribbled notes,
mainly the WTFDA FM Database, also in general searching if needed. All
times strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP and
antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz and
vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from distancefromto.net.
Showing distance does not necessarily make a log more definite, but
FYI. I do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not,
and am not in a competition. Each DX log I view as a potential
learning experience. Clarifications, correxions welcome.

Canadian logs are included in original time order below, and also
duplicated at separate entry under CANADA.

Unlike the FL opening yesterday, many frequencies are 2 or 3 stations
deep vying for captures; many with confusing fringe-area groundwave
signals fading in and out like ionospheric. I include some of those
for completeness or to reconfirm identities.

92.1 at 1521, rock: not even attempting to narrow down; also CCI on
93.7 vs Okie.

94.5 at 1523, partial ID as ``point 5...US`` - nothing fits in the
PTA = probable target area as later determined. Maybe this too-weak
fringe and the US was really House? A multi-channel gospel huxter
around here, unlikely to mention a .5 frequency tho:

Wow, what a name; never heard it or of it before. Wikipedia: ``The
name Penetanguishene is believed to come from either the Wyandot[3] or
Abenaki via Ojibwe,[4] meaning "land of the white rolling sands".``
But how is it mispronounced, in French and in English, a bilingual

**WG Hauser** · 06-12-2023, 08:18 PM

** U S A [and non]. Another sporadic-E FM DX opening, Saturday June 10
from 1652 to 1926 UT. Starts with isolated opening from Utah, soon
lots of Mexicans from Yucatán, Campeche, at least. I start at 1630 UT
as area tropo is also up from KS, OK with some stations not normally
audible, into north Texas, which means more QRM than usual on `open`
DX frequencies. Such non-Es logs are included, to note or reconfirm
branding. To boot, two major local signals from Enid are off the air:
95.7 and 107.1!

Es FM DX: gotta take it whenever it decide to happen! In the not too
hot garage, on the Nissan Sentra 2004 stock caradio with fender
vertical antenna only, so no antenna manipulation but disfavoring any
horizontal-only stations, if any; all logs in real
time with my own ears, one frequency at a time, no RDS capability, no
recording, no internet for stream comparisons; but research later from
my scribbled notes, mainly the excellent WTFDA FM Database, also in
general searching if needed.

All times strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP
and antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz
and vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from distancefromto.net.
Showing distance does not necessarily make a log more definite, but
FYI. This time I bother with distances only for the Mexicans.

I do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not,
and am not in a competition. Each DX log I view as a potential
learning experience. Clarifications, correxions welcome.

Circa 1705, 1730 and many other tunebys, I notice a *slight* increase
in noise level at 102.7 and 103.5, which are matching second-adjacents
to local 103.1 KOFM, compared to 102.5/102.9 and 103.3/103.7, of which
102.9 and 103.3 would be expected to have higher ACI: Could this
explain 102.7 KJYO OKC being inaudible despite equivalent coverage to
many other OKC stations? IF KOFM is running ``HD`` and IF it affect
2nd-adjacents more than first-adjacents?? WTFDA not shows HD on KOFM,
but I suspect HD notations are incomplete, lacking for many:

A separate issue: all over the caradio dial, strong signals have more
ACI on their plus-side than minus-side: I assume the 0.2 MHz step
tuning be slightly misaligned.

104.9 at 1751, ``Power 104-9``. WTFDA shows nonesuch anywhere; and I`m
not positive of the word; could be similar, like Tower?
Never mind the phantom EWTN in Ringwood, otherwise 3 Okies listed,
KREK BRISTOW, KKWD BETHANY, KRIG-FM NOWATA, possibly one of?
However a broad search on Power 104.9 gets some not in WTFDA:
WTSX Kokomo IN, and WSTV Jonesboro/Atlanta GA. But WTFDA puts WSTV in
Roanoke VA! But no DX opening known from any of those areas.

Sunday June 11, 1742-1816 & 2058-2409 UT mostly from eastern US,
Monday June 12, 0243-0325 from north; all of which will take me a few
more days to compile (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** CANADA. Replies to my inquiry how to pronounce that town in Ontario
I DXed on 96.5 FM, also mentioned on WOR 2194:

``On your program you reported hearing the CBC French station from
Penetanguishene ON. Great DX catch. I lived up in that area for
several years and used to listen to it often. I don't understand any
French but some of the musical programs were good.

The pronunciation of the town's name is sort of like this.
Pena - tang - guishene (rhymes with machine) - Doug Brown, London
ON``

``Hi Glenn, Vern from Toronto here. I’ve recently returned to
SWL/DX’ing after a lengthy absence. Sad to find that so many beloved
stations are now gone, but gratified that you’re still doing your
excellent work. Enjoyed the program back in the ‘70s and am enjoying
it now!

Anyway, it’s pronounced peh-na-TANG-wish-een. Often shortened by
locals to Penetang (PEH-na-tang). Listen, here:
upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0b/Penetanguishene.ogg

I’ve never been there, because I don’t drive and public transport to
small towns in Ontario is practically non-existent. It looks quite
picturesque, though. Amazing that you heard an FM station from there
in Oklahoma! Best regards, Vern Nicholson`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

**Raymie** · 06-12-2023, 11:38 PM

The listing for XHPBCQ should be Regional Mexican as La Z (Zeta). Thanks for catching this miss; sent back to the DB for fixing.

Great report, Glenn.

** U S A [and non]. Finally in my spare? time after a full week, I
have completed compiling and researching my sporadic E FM DX openings
on Sunday June 11, into UT Monday June 12. Partly on caradio, partly
on DX-398 inside. There was considerable overlap from different PTAs:
probable target areas. From GA/SC/NC/VA/MD/KY; OH/WV/ON/MI/WI;
MN/MB/ND/SK/MT. Also included are nearby OK logs encountered along the
way.

Es FM DX: gotta take it whenever it decide to happen! In the not too
hot garage, on the Nissan Sentra 2004 stock caradio with fender
vertical antenna only, so no antenna manipulation but disfavoring any
horizontal-only stations, if any; all logs in real time with my own
ears, one frequency at a time, no RDS capability, no recording, no
internet for stream comparisons; but research later from my scribbled
notes, mainly the excellent WTFDA FM Database, also in general
searching if needed.

All times strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP
and antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz
and vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from distancefromto.net.
Showing distance does not necessarily make a log more definite, but
FYI.

I do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not, and
am not in a competition. Each DX log I view as a potential learning
experience. Clarifications, correxions welcome.

At 1816 I suspend; 1925 I resume, but still nothing by 1943; suspend
again.

Above on caradio, but I resume reclining in house with the DX-398
instead. Disadvantage: less sensitive; less selective, harder to DX on
first adjacent frequencies. Advantages: tunes in 0.5 MHz steps, good
for ACI avoidance; telescopic antenna may be manipulated to fight QRM,
benefit from maximum DX angles, unlike fixed vertical antenna oncar.
And has RDS!

93.1 at 2058, country with Es fades, not the KS fringer. 2116, ``New
Country``, the only fit meaning a separated opening, i.e.::

2131, Roanoke ad, ``WFXR[?] Star Country``, must be this but calls no

93.9 at 2122, car race ranking to 36th. 2124, Bristol Motor Speedway
coverage, live? Still at 2139. Bristol is that town on the TN/VA
border but no 93.9s licensed to either and can`t find any nearby. BMS
may be a Big Deal, but how far away? No sports format in area nor KY,
NC. Maybe a diversion from another format. BMS has podcast ``radio``
but no stations listed. A mystery; ideas?

92.7 at 2125, ``Kentucky`s energy co-op``, singing ID as ``92.7``.
Most easterly KY and the others low-powered:

Racine is a tiny town south of Athens OH but maps show it just barely
on the WV side of the Ohio River! 1432/890 as OH; there is another
Racine well inside WV

93.7 at 2129, praise song so certainly not KSPI OK: but no fit in the
KY/TN/NC/VA 4-state area. Maybe even further as in next logs

95.3 at 2132, love song overrides KOKC translator; no guesses

99.1 at 2133, static RDS: BLOOMBRG = 8-letter max, so dispense with

Kenton is east of Lima in west central OH, in neither AC. There are 3
other OH on 95.3. WKLM Millersburg and WLKR Norwalk are in neither.

Centerville OH, which is near Lebanon, both just south of Dayton, so:

**WG Hauser** · 06-21-2023, 01:22 AM

** U S A. Another Es FM DX opening June 14, on caradio but very
marginal. Several Esish signals lead to dead ends, i.e. Kansas
fringefaders as if they were Es. I`ll spare us some of that research,
but not all of it. Standard methodology boilerplate as in my June 11
report, including: all times strictly UT:

88.3 at 1714, mentions Leesburg? which is in N VA, NW of WDC. Nothing
there; I now think it was probably Lynchburg as in later 88.3 log
below.

93.1 at 1716, jobs in Reno County, but merely Kansas, then McPherson
ad, My 93.1 weather.

93.1 at 1717, Wilmington ad, so this time is NC: Unlikely as it may
seem, this is the only Wilmington with a 93.1, 97-watt LPFM:
WBPL-LP 93.1 WILMINGTON NC RELIGIOUS TEACHING WILMINGTON CATHOLIC
RADIO 0.097 30.0 34-12-35 77-56-53 1821 km/1132 stmi
Broadly, there are Wilmington FMs in these states: DE, IL, NC, OH, PA,
VT. Comparing
rough coordinates, there are no 93.1s in any of these near a
Wilmington.

95.3 at 1720, verse of the day, praise music over KOKC OKC translator.
Circa Wilmington NC PTA? No fits by format or geography in NC.

100.3 at 1723, sports talk about BB, mention Montgomery, no fit in AL.
NC PTA sports? No fit. How about SC? Maybe:
WSEA 100.3 ATLANTIC BEACH SC SPORTS CBS RADIO 100.3 12.0 145.0
33-47-04 78-52-44 1764/1096
Or did they mention Cardinals? Near station on that net, extreme NW
corner of AR:
KURM-FM 100.3 GRAVETTE AR NEWS/TALK KURM RADIO 4.0 125.1 36-25-54
94-30-47 306/190

100.7 at 1724, algo vs local 100.9 KGWA xltr; tough

88.3 at 1726, Cardinals BB play-by-play, what? MLB is VERY commercial.
Can`t imagine a non-comm with it. // local 1390 KCRC; hmmm, could be a
mixing/overload product? 89.7 is not local but almost; minus 1.4 MHz =
88.3. But 88.3 is fading some unlike 89.7 or 1390. Again at 1834 //
1390 then f/out.

93.1 at 1742, BB pbp but not // Cardinals KCRC 1390. Ads lead merely
to Hutchinson KS. Guess what, there are NO Cards stations in KS, but
OK in OK. KS must be Royals territory! But their affil list has no
93.1 anywhere. Still Hutch at 1832, normal fringer.

I take a break at 1745-1829, lunch?

92.1 at 1829, North Myrtle Beach ad, so definitely this again:
WMYB 92.1 MYRTLE BEACH SC CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO ENERGY 92.1 94.0
263.0 33-35-27 79-02-55 76C9 ENERGY 92.1 Now Playing Song/Artist
ENERGY 92.1 Plays the Hits Top 40 1752/1089

92.1 at 1832, country, ``Country Station`` but no hits on those exact
words branding.

88.1 at 1902, ID mentions North Carolina State University, music
festival:
WKNC-FM 88.1 RALEIGH NC VARIETY THE REVOLUTION 25.0 80.0 35-47-15
78-40-14 A764 KNC88.1 - North Carolina State University 1727/1073

88.3 at 1917, myjourneyfm.com, ``The Journey``, General Shepherd
Hospice; 1920, ABC 13 weather, i.e. WSET Lynchburg VA. That`s
Falwell`s Liberty University which has TWO stations on 88.3 with
reversed calls; by PTA the NC somewhat liklier:
WVRL 88.3 ELIZABETH CITY NC RELIGIOUS TEACHING THE JOURNEY 88.3
50.0 136.0 36-18-40 76-17-34 8DE1 1935/1203
WRVL 88.3 LYNCHBURG VA RELIGIOUS TEACHING THE JOURNEY 28.0 346.0
37-11-50 79-21-06 Liberty University 1667/1036
This log on caradio but not at home due to shopping errand near
Garriott & Van Buren.

Another check much later at home on the DX-398:
88.3 at 2201, NPR/ATC news, not synch with 88.1 KWOU; weak and steady,
best tuned to 88.25. 2203 no local cutaway. Not synch 91.7 KOSU
either, but this must be KOSU`s unnecessary fill-in back at Stillwater
since main 91.7 site moved closer to OKC, which IIRC is indeed not
synch with 91.7, different feed routings:

**WG Hauser** · 06-26-2023, 10:41 PM

** U S A. Finally another sporadic E FM DX opening, June 22; since
it`s Thursday afternoon, I don`t have time for it, and probably missed
a lot before and after the few minutes I spend on it before I have to
record WORLD OF RADIO 2196. Over a 10-minute period on the caradio, I
log 4 stations in southwest Ohio, rather short skip, among many other
channels in the bottom half of the band with CCI signals fading in and
out. All times strictly UT, and standard boilerplate applies:

93.7 at 1917, ``93.7 The Light``, ads, weather, traffic:
WFCJ 93.7 MIAMISBURG OH HD CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN/RELIGIOUS TEACHING
93.7 THE LIGHT 50.0 150.0 39-39-35 84-18-53 6219 The Source 93.7 WFCJ

92.9 at 1920, ``Miami Valley Gaming Room`` ad --- must be MV Gaming

93.3 at 1923, ``Star 93-3``, religion, Middletown, Landmark Church,
Cincinnati, singing ID, retire933.com I sure thought they said but
nowhere, rather star933.com:

84-47-58 1216/756
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Possibility of some sporadic E DX, June 23 at
1900 UT, so a quick check in the car. Instead some area tropo
inbringing stations not normally heard:

97.3 at 1903 UT, ``Q97, 97.3`` and country. Punxuation is everything
at WTFDA FM DB. No likely hits on branding as Q97 or Q-97, but instead
Q 97; announcer should be required to utter it, ``Q space 97``:

KKJQ 97.3 GARDEN CITY KS COUNTRY Q 97 FM 100.0 244.0 37-46-48
100-27-36 2B62 KKJQ THE DAWG - 317 km/197 stmi

By 1904, 97.3 is captured by an equally strong signal with RCC call-in
about Fatima, whether other Christian subsets have different Bibles -
yes. I bet it`s an EWTN station; yes, and only 1/100 the power of Q
97:

KKNG-FM 97.3 BLANCHARD OK RELIGIOUS TEACHING 1.0 244.0 35-10-38
97-36-10 2BC0 Visit us at WWW.OKCR.ORG --- that`s Oklahoma Catholic
Radio, this frequency listed as for OKC. Blanchard is SW of OKC
between Norman and Chickasha, and doubt it serves the NE side very
well. They have several other stations, including the imaginary? one
on 104.9 at Ringwood west of Enid. Never mind what the call letters
be. Program sked shows this hour is indeed `EWTN Open Line`, but maybe
not a 100% EWTN outlet. 141 km/88 stmi

Note that some of my recent FMDX reports under USA have included some
Oklahoma items without being cross-referenced (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

**WG Hauser** · 07-02-2023, 09:44 PM

** OKLAHOMA. 99 MHz Es MUF in spots leads me to the caradio for a
check, but nonesuch here, rather tropo is up. On 93.5 I normally get
fringer from Kansas to the north, but June 27 at 1732 UT I happen to
catch an ad for ``right here in Altus`` and then ``K-pro 93.5 Altus``.
WTFDA FMDB shows it relays KWHW 1450, but no mention of it now!
KPRO KWHW 1450 93.5 ALTUS OK ROCK KPRO ROCKS 45.0 88.0 34-37-35
99-20-10 4AE4
235 km = 146 miles. I had several days` logs of KWHW x 2 on 2899.75 in
May 2015. Altus also has the distinxion often of hitting maximum heat
in OK since it`s in the SW corner, well over 100 lately. One other log
this opening from TX: see U S A (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. 96.7, June 27 at 1724 UT into caradio, a strong and steady
*mono* signal with two guys talking about engorgement, phone sex ---
oooh, hot stuff; axually rather vapid, but what is this on normally
nothing channel adjacent local 96.9? I was looking for Es but this
isn`t. Finally at 1730, ``The Ticket`` for the ``tri-state area``
[besides TX and OK, what??], later mentions DFW and ``Sports Radio
96-7 and 1310 The Ticket``, so it`s:
KTCK-FM 96.7 FLOWER MOUND TX SPORTS SPORTS RADIO 1310 & 96.7, THE
TICKET 90.0 621.0 33-26-13 97-29-05 426A All sports all the time KTCK
The Ticket // KTCK 1310 381 km = 236 miles.
Flower Mound is on the north side of The Metroplex which may help a
little, but as before I have no sign of any other DFW signals. Finally
fades at 1736 but back up at 1741, now really talking about sports
instead of sex; as I leave for lunch. One other log this opening, see
OKLAHOMA.

That is, until another check on the caradio at 2047: 94.5, ads and PSA
for contact Dallas City Hall for West Nile Virus info, AC 214. This is
the station closest to Dallas, well north of The Metroplex and good
for reception into OK:

km = 196 mi (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. 90.1, June 28 at 1455 UT, Radio Kansas, after emotional
``Nimrod`` by Elgar, special fund-raiser to ``buy three new
transmitters --- it`s time``. One may get a newly redesigned mug for
only $50. Well, this old transmitter of KHCC Hutchinson HQ station is
still doing very well, completely capturing 90.1 from KUCO on a
household radio, with a little help from the troposphere. The others
are KHCD 89.5 Salina and KHCT 90.9 Great Bend, seldom heard here.
WTFDA shows 100 kW ERP except for 50 on 90.9. Apparently just these
with some overlap, no translators:
https://radiokansas.com/coverage-area/
Details on the situation: https://radiokansas.com/
R. Kansas is an excellent classical/news station; only wish I could
hear both it and KUCO on different frequencies. Tropo overnight also
favored BBC News via KHCC instead of KUCO classical. 185 km = 115 stmi
to site just east of Hutch.

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Signs of sporadic E into FM band on DXMAPs, so
out to the car to check. Once again, none of that reaching here, but
there is tropo from as far as Shreveport. Major Tulsa stations such as
96.5 are in like locals, and some weaker ones not normally heard like
102.3 KRMG can also make it. In fact there is a huge, heavy and
growing tropo blob over east TX, most of LA, AR and much of OK.
Standard introduxion applies. UT Thursday June 29:

93.9 at 0213, ad for Texarkana Glass, into religiousy talk; also
mentioned Oklahoma. The trouble is, there is no 93.9 in Texarkana
TX/AR, nor anywhere near in the quadristate area AR/LA/OK, but closest
is this one in NE TX, 140 km = 87 miles away:

Texarkana Glass specializes in auto glass repair, apparently has no
locations outside Texarkana TX except maybe Genoa AR just east of
there. On my ND vertical antenna, this has totally captured 93.9 from
normal semilocal KIMY Watonga OK.

101.3 at 0220, instead of Wichita, VG with Lawton OK ad, also for TX
Dept of Criminal Justice, MacKenzie Automotive, 238-2024; 0225,

What about DTV? Bandscan circa 0430 gets lots of BAD signals on open
channels, but none decoding except RF20 Tulsa (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 90.1, KUCO FM, our classical station, keeps
jumbling its programming around; will it ever settle down?
https://www.kucofm.com/program-grid/
I was getting into `Performance Today` which they picked up a couple
months ago, but now it`s gone again, replaced by local origination
without explanation. Of course we can still hear PT via
https://www.yourclassical.org/performance-today
or on some other webcasting station. Huge listing here but each must
be confirmed:
http://publicradiofan.com/cgibin/pro...?programid=360

Long-running `The Score` from Portland, filmusic, has just been
replaced on KUCO by `Reel Music` another cinematic co-produced by KBAQ
Phœnix and WDAV Davidson NC, Fri 19-20 & Sat 16-17 UT. KUCO says due
to unexpected price hike by The Score. We can still get that from HQ
station KQAC both Sat & Sun at 21-22 UT. Brit EdmUnd Stone has a more
erudite style. Reel guy Matt Rogers inserts drive-in movie promos,
like go get food and drink, but the music is still VG. This `Reel
Music` is as yet unknown? to publicradiofan.com. An ``eclectic`` show
of same name is listed for WETS in TN, but unfound on its own
schedule. PRF shows it on only one different station, KMUC in MO,
Fridays at 19-20 UT. It is still sked there on KMUC, HD2 subsidiary of
KBIA Columbia.
See: https://kbaq.org/reelmusic
Same time as KQAC on Sat at 21-22 is yet another cinemusic show, `Film
At Five` on WCLV. It used to be repeated 7 hours later = 05 UT in
winter but no more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 96.9, July 2 at 1658 UT, futile bandscan for Es can`t
help but notice that local KQOB is in dead air for 2+ minutes, but
remodulating by 1702 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

**WG Hauser** · 07-10-2023, 08:07 PM

** U S A. Possibility of Es so caradio bandscan July 7 at 2024 UT:
finds none, but notice that semi-local 91.5 is in deadair, still so
past 2044. Standard remark: if a station be so out of it that it does
not even have one staff member or another constantly monitoring for
dead air or any other problem, even if automated, and/or a
silence-sensor alarm, how can they expect any listeners to stick with
them, and more importantly, why should they deserve continued
licensing, especially if there be any other/better demand for the
frequency? WTFDA FMDB shows:

KSNS 91.5 MEDICINE LODGE KS CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN KEEP SINGING NEW
SONGS" 0.0 96.0 0.0 141.0 37-14-02 98-39-55 A4EC KSNS --- or ``Keep
Sending No Sound``! Anyhow there is a lot of spoken gospel-huxtering,
not just music when they manage to modulate. It`s just over the OK/KS
frontier. This one is also unusual in that it`s full power and
vertically polarized only, as the 0.0 means kW ERP-H and the 96.0
means kW ERP-V. Maybe that`s why I hear it better on the caradio.
However there is another 91.5 in KS likewise, KARF Independence (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 91.5, July 8 at 0121 & 0140 UT, my next rechex on caradio
*still* find open carrier/dead air, i.e. from KSNS, Medicine Lodge,
KS, see my previous report: I bet it`s been dead thruout the 5 hours
since 2044! Instead of ignorance and inattention by station staff, it
could also be that a person on duty at station collapsed or worse. IF
they have any local listeners, might call 911 and/or get the police to
make a welfare check. BTW, this OC/DA is in mono; I had not noticed
whether it were in $tereo when modulative.

With the proliferation of Part 15 very low-power RF feeders in cars,
sometimes left on with no input, one must be careful not to take one
of these nearby for a genuine FM station. So I have made certain 91.5
OC/DA remains audible as I drive around Enid, and even on my jaunt out
to Ringwood, July 8 between 1850 and 2100 UT to investigate KEUC;
details in next report --- yes, KSNS *still2* silent some 24 hours
after first noted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Noticed this mixup in the WTFDA FM DB. The listing for
90.1 KUCO says it is a relay OF: KCSC-FM 95.9!
KUCO relay of:KCSC-FM 95.9 90.1 EDMOND OK USA HD CLASSICAL CLASSICAL
RADIO 90.1/91.9 100.0 100.0 256.0 256.0 35-34-24 97-29-08 4512
LISTENER SUPPORTED CLASSICAL MUSIC FROM UNIV OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA //
KBCW-FM 91.9 & KCSC 95.9

On the contrary, all programming originates at KUCO, fed to its two
satellites KCSC 95.9 in Woodward and KBCW 91.9 in McAlester. Perhaps
confused because the original call of 90.1 was KCSC - for Central
State College, not to be confused with something in Chico, California.
Some years after the school was renamed University of Central
Oklahoma, the 90.1 calls were changed in accordance. By then had also
acquired the relay facility on 95.9 in Woodward from KCCU Lawton, so
as a legacy, KUCO applied the KCSC calls to that. Standard legal IDs
used to add HD1 to 90.1 and 91.9 but not to 95.9; now dispensed with
that. IIRC, HDs of 90.1 include some totally unrelated gospel huxter
renter and/or a student station? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 104.9, July 8 at 0126 UT as I tune across here on
caradio, fruitless search for Es FM DX, DJ exclaims ``104-9, Yikes``.
Aha, an unusual branding? Very, unfound in search of WTFDA DB, on this
or any frequency, anywhere. Yet a broad search on 104.9 yikes leads to
too many stations, none? nearby. Home station usually heard here is:
KKWD 104.9 BETHANY OK VARIETY HITS ALICE 104.9 6.0 6.0 100.0 100.0
35-29-53 97-37-10 2CA7 Artist/Title HD is Off

But hardly a solid signal at that power and distance. Altho only 100
watts, this one is only about 20 miles west of us in Enid, but I have
*never* heard it, even from west side of Enid, and suspect it be
non-existent:
KEUC 104.9 RINGWOOD OK RELIGIOUS TEACHING EWTN 0.1 0.1 21.0 21.0
36-23-12 98-14-47
Such an outlet is on the Oklahoma Catholic Radio list, minus call
letters.

Note that this goes back almost 8 years! Blowing up a coverage map,
site is just north of deadend intersexion of 6th Street and Short
Street inside Ringwood.

0134 UT recheck, Yikes has faded and now there is a mix of music and
gospel huxter? With Tulsa area signals enhanced, could be one of
these, the only other Okies with more than peanut-power:

KREK 104.9 BRISTOW OK RELIGIOUS TEACHING THE SONLIFE RADIO NETWORK 5.0

36-43-37 95-46-18

About time for a jaunt into the country anyway, we decide to visit the
KEUC site and see/hear what may be there, on Saturday afternoon, July
8. Ringwood is quite a small town, but with a neat very well-stocked
grocery store, Richard`s, carrying items unfound in big Enid, another
reason for an excuse to visit.

From 1850 UT, driving west on US 412/60 tuned to 104.9 starting with
KKWD fringe if anything. By the time we get to Meno at 1911, an open
carrier in mono is starting to capture 104.9, and sure enough it`s
`local` in Ringwood. We easily find the site where Short Street [N/S]
deadends at 6th Street [E/W]: it`s the Ringwood municipal water tower,
one of those slim cylinders -- and it has antennas on it, violating
Separation Of Church And State. Still nothing but dead air, but I
never detected even that from Enid. Of course the coverage area with
100 watts is rather limited, and maybe if there be tropo, bigger
stations are still going to block it.

Bewaring a big white poodle which takes it upon itself to protect KEUC
with menacing charges and barx, but apparently blongs to an adjacent
trailer-house, we inspect the facility. There is a vertically
polarized 4- or 5-element yagi about halfway up the tower on the
`wrong` side of it, southwest, and pointed away from Enid. Two cables
run up the tower, past this antenna to the very top where there may be
some other very small antenna.
https://www.w4uvh.net/KEUC_104.9_Ringwood2.jpg

Maybe that`s for STL reception from somewhere. None of the other OCR
stations are close or powerful enough to provide a direct off-air
pickup for relay and there is no satellite dish. Or they could be
depending on internet feed with no way or desire to reboot it
remotely.

Adjacent is the transmitter shack, with a faded almost illegible
warning on the door that it`s a FEDERAL OFFENSE to disturb it, but no
identity as KEUC, OCR or anything. An OG&E electric meter on the side
is running. There is also a propane tank right next to it - would that
convert to emergency electric power, or just keep the transmitter from
freezing?
https://www.w4uvh.net/KEUC_104.9_Ringwood1.jpg
In any event, it`s all for naught as long as the air be dead. And back
in Enid I won`t be able to tell if and when it come to life. I can`t
help but wonder if the neighbor or any other Ringwoodians be aware
what this thing is for.

Altho the WTFDA FM DB as above has correct info for KEUC, as far as it
goes, you would never know it`s part of the Oklahoma Catholic Radio
network, nor some of the others on their station list, just
``religious teaching`` - not always with real city of license.
https://www.okcr.org/stations
One can go thru it and figure out which stations serve which city,
e.g. Walters south of ``Lawton``. We also see that there are *three*
LP stations on 99.3 in the OKC area, one of which must be one of OCR`s
two Spanish outlets. And there are *five* around OKC on 97.7. It`s
really getting crowded (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Es FM DX: gotta take it whenever it decide to
happen! In the not too hot garage, on the Nissan Sentra 2004 stock
caradio with fender vertical antenna only, so no antenna manipulation
but disfavoring horizontal-only stations, if any; all logs in real
time with my own ears, one frequency at a time, no RDS capability, no
recording, no internet for stream comparisons; but research later from
my scribbled notes, mainly the excellent WTFDA FM Database, also in
general searching if needed.

All times strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP
and antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz
and vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi
city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from distancefromto.net.
Showing distance does not necessarily make a log more definite, but
FYI.

I do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not, and
am not in a competition. Each DX log I view as a potential learning
experience. Clarifications, correxions welcome. Sunday July 9, all
times strictly UT!

91.5 at 1742, KSNS *still* dead air but some classical music is
off-and-on trying to overcome it. From subsequent probable target area
obs, likely:
WXXO 91.5 ROCHESTER NY HD CLASSICAL CLASSICAL 91.5 45.0 134.0 43-08-07
77-35-03 93C8 WXXI -FM Classical 91.5 WXXI-FM Rochester NY Classical
// WXXY 90.3 & W298CE 107.5 -- and again at 1805. Recently changed
call from WXXI to WXXO. The XXI derived from the now surely irrelevant
old analog channel of its TV station which must have preceded the FM;
altho one might guess it denote our century 1882/1169

94.5 at 1748, 1755, 1804, classical music in mix of others, surely:

94.5 at 1750, mention news network and KNN. Can`t be sure whether this
be one of the more definitely IDed on 94.5. KNN could mean Kentucky
News Network, rather than Kurdistan or Korea. If so there is one
possibility in KY:

incidentally get newscasts from KNN, not worth website mention

Still DX at 1839 but I have to suspend for lunch; resuming at 1901,
only sign of DX is some country atop 95.3 KOKC OKC translator; quit at

KSNS is *still* dead air.

2221 another session: 99.3 with NASCAR talk over KLOR Ponca; despite
next log, no sports format listed anywhere in VA or FL on 99.3.

94.5 at 2223, rap; 2236 ad for dancing at Main Street Station; in &

Nothing more, quit at 2245. Keeping an eye on DXMAPs for Es MUFs and
favorable paths, there appear to be some further chances, such as UT
Monday July 10 when I`m back in the DX car at 0309-0315 but nothing
unusual - 91.5 KSNS still deadairing. Likewise July 10 at 2010 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

**WG Hauser** · 07-19-2023, 08:15 PM

** U S A. 91.5, July 14 after 2200 UT on caradio, finally the days and
days of dead air from presumed KSNS Medicine Lodge KS, is gone; since
July 7, last noted July 12, not checked on 13. Now a much weaker
signal with a far-right, far-Christian gospel huxter against Trans; no
music at all, fading in and out. If KSNS be off, the next nearest
possibility is from the south near the River Red:
KCBK 91.5 FREDERICK OK SOUTHERN GOSPEL THE GOSPEL STATION 100.0 155.0

Its primary KCBI once had a SW station in Dallas. KCBK is the only
other KS/OK of more than peanut power except for KANU Lawrence and
this was certainly not an NPR station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. A number of Okies are intermixed with KS, TX, LA in my FM
DX report for July 17 under USA; note especially those found to be in
MONO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

In four sessions, 1554-1640, 1658-1720, 1759-1817, 2026-2108.

As happens too often, instead of Es in the ~1000 mile range, I`m
getting tropo from no further than Shreveport, but still plenty of DX!
No Es until the fourth session, and only one definite log at the end
of this report, from WBJC 91.5 Baltimore.

Along the way I have noted some OK-area stations which are in MONO.
Altho there is a field, MODE, for this in the WTFDA FM Database, it`s
often missing. This and misc. other info should update the FMDB if
editors take note of my logs:

KSMM relays:KMML 92.9 101.5 LIBERAL KS Silent Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN
LA MEXICANA 100.0 165.0 37-03-20 100-48-40 40CC - Silent 4/28/22; xmtr
failure 281/174
Well, 101.5 is NOT silent any more. I`m sure they jointly IDed with
93.9, not 92.9, so that would be as listed but unheard:
KZRD 93.9 DODGE CITY KS Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN LA MEXICANA 100.0
246.0 37-55-56 100-19-02 // KSMM 101.5
The trouble is, KMML originator? Is on 102.1 NOT 92.9, also unheard:
KMML 102.1 CIMARRON KS Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN LA MEXICANA 40.0 166.0
37-46-48 100-27-38 //KSMM 101.5
The ONLY 92.9 in KS is unrelated, English, Country, in Osage City, but
with suspicious call KMXN! All per WTFDA; FCC, R-L not checked.

91.7 at 1637, note that near-local KOSU OKC, is MONO and presumably
all-daytime during public radio/NPR talk; $tereo all-night with `The
Spy` music. ~83/50 --- 1640-1658 I take a break.

93.7 at 1700 ID ``KXKS-FM, Shreveport-Bossier, Townsquare Media``, has

blood from Socotra Island, Yemen. As oil, resin or powder. Phone

Time for a break but keeping an eye on DXMAPs, sporadic E again
supposedly reaching OK and by midafternoon maybe the tropo will have
further abated; resuming at 2026 now in the hot garaged car:

94.5 at 2027, unID local weather from somewhere but without any local
references, grrr! and CCI, rock. One of my `open` freqs for Es. At
2037, ``AFT`` seems like partial call but no matches even fuzzy.

94.1 at 2028, Es? CCI here too, ad mentions ``wa-wa``. 2030 an Audacy
[not Odyssey!] station call like WYVA but can`t find anything even
similar; talk. Audacy provides no quick-ref station list, but top
searches go to WIP Philadelphia, sports; some others are musical.

106.1 at 2044, CCI, ``I-24 and Arkansas River``. 106.1 I would assume
Tulsa and the Ark. River goes thru there, but no known hwy 24, state,
US or Interstate. I-24 runs SE from IL, never crossing the Ark. River.
The only possible correlation but without any 106.1 would be US 24
circa Buena Vista CO and the headwaters of that great river. BTW, they
insist on pronouncing it BEW-nuh, VISS-tuh.

** U S A. 96.7, July 19 at 2019 UT as I am driving away on an errand
and not expecting any DX at temp 97F, caradio happens to be tuned here
to a strong steady station, plugs AdAstraradio.com for weather,
``border to border``; mentions `MPK`? Country music and 2028 ``Real
Country``; 2036 ad for something in nearby Hoisington. Gone by 2100.
Quite a grandiose name for a Kansas group of ``hometown`` stations
including this one on 96.7, but must have changed format:
KMPK 96.7 MCPHERSON KS ADULT CONTEMPORARY MIX 96.7 6.0 75.0 38-20-30
97-40-12 3140

95.3 also has a bigsig capturing frequency from KOKC OKC translator,
July 19 at 2030, Mytownmedia.com with news about Kansas. Website has
all-important hyphen, otherwise would have to pay $8K+ for site. Among
many stations classified by format and live-linked found this one on
95.3: https://mytown-media.com/listen-live/news-talk/ i.e.
KWKN The Cowboy, ``Hays``. The group`s towns may not match city of

But there is one other on 95.3,

**WG Hauser** · 08-01-2023, 06:52 PM

** OKLAHOMA. 90.9 & 91.1, July 24 at 1948 UT, the two Air One stations
are not // with separate announcements, rejoining then for music. On
one caradio I cannot tell if exactly synchronized, but doubt it. I
don`t think there were any local contents to the anmts, so don`t know
why they bother.

90.9 is KOKF Edmond/OKC; 91.1 is local KKRD Enid. As long as branding
spelt Air1, WTFDA DB displays 10 of them in OK, 6 of them translators
each with a different primary and KKRD also as a relay: of KYRA 92.7,
unlike any of the others; where`s that? Thousand Oaks CA, why not? Is
that network HQ? Guess not: money goes to Omaha (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, July 24 at 1949 UT, lower-half bandscan on caradio
finds no Es nor any expected but can`t help but notice dead air from
KIMY Watonga, `The gospel station` - still dead a semihour later
check, 2019. And *still* dead at another recheck 2359 UT. Standard
remark about no one at station paying attention (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.9 WBFM, July 25 at 2058 UT, KIMY Watonga is still in
dead air, 21 hours after last check, standard remark --- but it`s in
$tereo! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, July 26 at 1938 UT, KIMY Watonga has finally
resumed modulation after ~2 days of dead air (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 106.9, July 20 at 1736 UT, ad for First National Bank of
Elk City & Sayre, YL with 100-degree weather:

Another fruitless check for Es but tropo up from W OK, also 96.5 KECO,
99.3 KCLI -- tho 99.3 first had another atop, maybe Es. On 106.9
usually get KHTT from the east, Muskogee (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. (101.1), KSFR Santa Fe NM: for a couple weeks have not been
able to hear webcast. .org website is OK and Play button worx, but
silent. Among my favorite shows is `Beyond Borders`, world music,
Thursdays 15-18 UT. At 1811 UT I am jarred by abrupt start of stream,
as I had forgotten I had left it ``running`` -- not what must be on
now, but the beginning of `BB`, as if knew that`s what I wanted to
hear! Must have been building up delayed for 3+ hours. Now I hate to
stop or pause it as may not be able to resume, but WOR produxion time
is nigh (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. A few weeks ago, two of my favorite streaming stations from
my homestate of NM, started failing when pressing button on own
homepages: KUNM Albuquerque, but got it to work on Winamp; KSFR Santa
Fe not even that way. I dislike streaming aggregators, but finally try
that for KSFR and do get it via
https://onlineradiobox.com/us/ksfr/?cs=us.ksfr&played=1
in `Map Is Not Territory`, with The Invisible Man, UT Wed July 26 at
04-06. And also anticipate `Beyond Borders`, Thu 15-18 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO: I had been catching up on episodes of `A Day
to Remember` via ``samples`` on the PRX website, but that halted in
June, so I asked KUCO about it. As a result they are now available via
own website:
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...r/id1699463301
as of Sat July 29 apparently only the past 5 weekday 2-minute episodes
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. I see that the WTFDA FM Database as of July 30 still has
not corrected the mistake I outpointed July 7, that 90.1 KUCO is NOT a
relay of 95.9 KCSC, but vice versa. Furthermore, the 95.9 KCSC entry
does not show it as a relay of 90.1 KUCO, or anything, but remarx that
it is // KUCO 91.1, getting that frequency wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non?]. DXMAPS keep showing possible sporadic E paths
reaching OK, so I brave the oven car for some quick bandscans, finally
installing the box fan in the back seat. But not much to show for it,
UT July 31:

94.9 at 0023, country music bigsig briefly and gone; could be MS too.

88.1 at 0030, lucky ID in passing as ``WKNC Raleigh``, in & out:
WKNC-FM 88.1 RALEIGH NC VARIETY THE REVOLUTION 25.0 80.0 35-47-15
78-40-14 A764 KNC88.1 - North Carolina State University

92.1 at 0032 ``find a dentist near me`` seems skip, not enough info

93.5 at 0041, Mexican music, another brief peak, got to be Es. Thought
I heard ``que buena`` as it faded, as music lyric or could it be a
slogan ID? Let`s see in the WTFDA FM DB: NO 93.5 brandings anywhere
with that spelling, but two with the cutesy ``let`s use a letter not
in the Spanish alphabet`` Ke Buena, which gets two hits, neither of
which is enough for any certain assumption' and both are even below
average terrain:

XHLU-FM 93.5 CD. SERDÁN PUE MEX Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN KE BUENA 6.0
-59.84 18-59-15 97-27-17

TGJA 93.5 JALAPA JA GTM Spanish RANCHERA JALAPA ESTÉREO - KE BUENA
10.0 -79.0 14-38-05 89-58-50

88.1 at 0134, BINGO numbers being called, fades in and out, also with
rattling noise between numbers, unusual format. Seems Es, could be
from east or west; CCI from gospel music which would be Okie fringe
KMSI, and certainly not public radio KWOU either. 0140 recheck,
recapping the numbers, 0142 to `break`, filled by music tho that could
be transfade to anotherstation. Later I search on RADIO BINGO 88.1 and
discover that this is mainly a Canadian thing. CJWE in Alberta is part
of a province-wide network of RB, but dates of games do not include
this one.

Another one is CFRH in Ontario, claiming it`s bilingual bingo, but
obviously French is primary. I heard no hint of anything Canadian,
certainly not francophone. Furthermore, it`s not resuming until
September.

Another2 one is in Perth ON, Lake 88.1 = CHLK-FM. But it`s Tuesdays at
6:10 pm. Further down the search results are too many other stations,
some of which may have only bingoed years ago, or not really on 88.1:
WYPR, KDHX, WWER, CKBW, KJCB, KBTL, KDNK, CHEC, CKBI, CJEC. Not really
worth deep searches into all of those for a bingo show right now. Does
anyone know of a station, even in America, that calls bingo on a
Sunday night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

**WG Hauser** · 08-12-2023, 06:37 PM

** OKLAHOMA. 92.9, on caradio Aug 4 at 2040 UT, JBA fringe signal from
``The Edge``, i.e. the 200-watt K225BN translator of the HD2 of KOMA
92.5, OKC, where no one listens to it. What a silly branding, edge of
what, alluding to HD2? On 92.9 one never knows which fringer will
dominate in Enid, this with a bit of tropo, or KBEZ Tulsa, equally
stupid branding, ``The Drive`` -- of what? 100 kW without any boost.
Not to be outdone, the 92.9 in Kansas, Osage City, KMXN, if not really
MeXicaN, calls itself ``The Bull`` -- no bull! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 98.5 August 6 at 0049 tuning past one of
countless gospel huxters, but I pause as there is some fine music,
variations on ``A Mighty Fortress`` by a piano-pounder and full
orchestra. No outroduxion about the performance. This is K253BC, Enid
translator of KLVV 88.7 Ponca City, which came in well enough direct,
but was sacrificed for another gospel huxter translator (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

91.5, the gospel huxter here, KSNS Medicine Lodge KS, I have noticed
playing some soft jazz at times, such as UT Sunday August 6 at 0052 UT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 9 at 2004 UT, dead air in $tereo on caradio
during bandscan not expecting any DX except some MS pings. Still dead
several minutes later. Must be my nearest, KOCD Okeene, 14 kW, a real
station which relays an LP, 0.1 kW KWDW 93.9, OKC, which I can`t hear
due to KIMY Watonga, salvation in English. Yet WTFDA FMDB shows
different brandings: 101.5 R. Salvación; 93.9 R. Bautista Calvario! I
have zero interest in either so had not listened closely for which,
when KOCD manage to modulate (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 102.3, August 5 at 1933 UT, DJs Kristin sp? and Mike
bantering, so not KRMG Tulsa? No, it is talker KRMG, maybe
infomercial, no discs, since // 740, or rather 10 sex delayed after
740. But why? This proves that AM is still primary no matter how much
they push FM first. Many other Tulsa market signals are enhanced
during stormy weather while it`s safe to tune at least on the caradio.
Later suffered a ~6 hour Optimum cable & internet outage (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 103.5, August 5 at 1936 UT, ``Power 103.5`` ad for Arvest
Bank, an Okie-only biz? No, out of AR into MOKSOK, a Walton thing.
Only such non-ID belongs to KVSP Anadarko, rimshooter into OKC market,
not so much Enid (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 11 at 2025 & 2049 chex on caradio, weak
deadair, no doubt still KOCD Okeene, Spanish religion, as first noted
2 days ago! I bet has been dead ever since, not checked yesterday -
yet another station so out of it that does not care, or does not know
that its modulation has failed -- also speaks volumes about their
listener/fans? if no one alerted HQ immediately (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 98.3, August 4 at 2038-2042+ UT, deadair in mono from KZQZ
{sic} Kiowa KS, only thing of note in perfunctory bandscan twice of
caradio when MUF was not exceeding 88 MHz around here. Still dead at
2310 recheck. Surely is $tereo when musicking? Another station where
nohuman is paying any attention to its own output.

Speaking of Kiowa, whatever became of Dr Scott Becker, onetime partner
of Allan Weiner at WBCQ? Several years ago he became a nonentity, not
even mentioned now anywhere on website. He did own a restaurant in
Kiowa, and he had a ham call which no longer exists, KB5MDH:
https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/Uls...?licKey=366478
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 98.3, August 5 at 1928 UT, still dead air from KQZQ Kiowa KS
- note, in my Aug 4 log reversed the call as ``KZQZ``. Wait! It`s not
completely dead but just barely modulated, still in mono. Must turn up
caradio volume to max to hear it at less than ideal level; 1942, ``My
Country 98-3``, as they too avoid tongue-twister legal call. No
mention of Scott Becker. Still same at 0046 August 6 but now with ACI
from 98.1 OKC station, sounds like overmodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 106.5, August 5 at 1937 UT. ``Radio Lobo, 106.5`` ID in
Spanish after ad in English. Neighbor to another SS, the only one
normally audible, KTUZ 106.7 OKC. This one is:

**WG Hauser** · 09-09-2023, 12:32 AM

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5 MHz, Aug 14 at 1942 & 2029 UT chex on caradio,
still dead air from KOCD Okeene, as already noted Aug 9 & 11. Standard
derisive remark. Hmm, what could OCD stand for? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 15 at 1708 UT, as far as I can tell, KOCD
Okeene still dead air, weak signal with occasional airplane surges, or
MS burst QRM. But also traces of another fringer. In OK there are
three translators and another Spanish, 6.2 kW in Collnsville; while
Kansas has three non-translators, most likely another Spanish, KSMM
Liberal, which I caught July 12 q.v., despite WTFDA DB *still* listing
it as silent since 4/28/22 due to xmtr failure which was/is? 100 kW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 16 circa 1920 UT, another day of dead air in
$tereo from KOCD Okeene (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 18 at 1820 UT, KOCD Okeene still dead air in
$tereo for at least the tenth day, first noticed Aug 9 (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 21 at 2030 UT, KOCD Okeene continues its
dead-air streak since at least August 9 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Aug 23 circa 2045 UT, still dead air from KOCD
Okeene, as has been since at least Aug 9.

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 101.5, Aug 28 at 1951 UT, JBA song in Spanish
on caradio, so maybe KOCD Okeene have resumed modulation? No, soon ad
in English for United Internet in SW Kansas, Liberal ad, mentions
103.9? No KSpanish listed there: must have been ``93.9`` which bears
KZRD Dodge City, 100 kW ``La Mexicana`` per WTFDA FM DB.

And 101.5 is: KSMM, 100 kW ``La Mexicana`` in Liberal, allegedly relay
of: KMML 92.9 but 101.5 still Remarked as: ``Silent 4/28/22; xmtr
failure``. ! But there is no 92.9 called KMML! The only 92.9 KS is
KMXN, 42 kW in Osage City, not ``MeXicaN`` as it may have been
previously, but Country, ``The Bull``! KMML calls instead apply to
102.1, 40 kW ``La Mexicana`` in Cimarrón KS.

What a mess!! I logged and pointed out this anomaly several weeks ago,
but WTFDA still has not cleared it up. Liberal is 281 km = 173 stmi
away, so really fringe. Cimarrón is strategically located about
halfway between the Cities Dodge and Garden. Not to be confused with
the Cimarrón in NM; I don`t find a C-town in OK but names the
westernmost county at the end of Nomansland. Liberal is right on the
OK Panhandle border, but radio-locator shows 101.5 site is definitely
in KS, ENE of Liberal.

But what about KOCD? As I drive down the road a bit, lose Liberal and
there`s the dead air in $tereo dominant from Okeene, as it has been
since at least August 9. Cursory chex on Aug 26 & 27 had not heard it
so wondered if off completely (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, random times afternoon of Sept 1 on caradio,
cannot be sure KOCD Okeene even be on air, let alone any $tereo
deadair. Briefly heard some commercial-sounding Spanish, presumably
the Liberal KS fringer (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 101.5, Sept 6 at 2018 UT, on caradio, fringe signal
pops in long enough to be Spanish with 620 area code, therefore
Liberal KS. In further driving around today and last several days, not
detecting any $tereo dead air in Spanish, so KOCD Okeene seems to
remain totally off the 101.5 air, which is fine since they were unable
to modulate it (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 101.5, Sept 8 circa 1820 UT on caradio around
Enid, seems to be slight quieting but no Spanish; no stereo pilot
either, so if KOCD Okeene, either turned off $ or just too weak to
fire. Later circa 1830 at a certain sweet spot, getting JBA Spanish
talk show about finances, more likely KSMM Liberal KS than religious
KOCD?

No, it isn`t: KSMM format is regional Mexmx and even sort of a program
sked on website: ``12 PM – 4 PM Monday - Friday Erica Majalca ”La
Manzanita" Join “La Manzanita/The Little Apple” as she presents la
música del pueblo: banda, corridos, rancheras, cumbias, pop,
romanticas and unforgettable classics every afternoon``

So back to KOCD? Website has no specific program sked,
https://salvacionradionetwork.org/
but ``something for everyone`` and this revelation!:

``The History of Our Station / La Historia de Nuestra Estacion
Radio Salvacion esta en el aire desde el año 2001, transmitiendo por
el 1220 AM, y 890 AM.

KWDW-LP 93.9 comenzó a transmitir en las ondas de LPFM en Agosto del
2014. Dejo de transmitir en Enero 2023.

KOCD 101.5FM comenzó a transmitir como Salvacion Radio Network en
Noviembre 2018. Termino de transmitir en Enero 2023``

Sic, sporadically accented. Sez both 101.5 and its primary on 93.9
went off the air in January 2023. So what were we hearing since then
but not recently? KOCD 101.5 transmitter might have been on air anyway
for test or oversight, or even being sold off.

Hmmm, there is another Okie in Spanish I had not previously
considered, just north of Tulsa, a lot closer than Liberal KS, but a
lot weaker. WTFDA FM Database shows the one for whose ID I must be
alert:

KIZS 101.5 COLLINSVILLE OK HD Spanish OLDIES 101.5 EL PATRON 6.2 kW
200.0 m HAAT 36-20-02 95-47-08 17BC 101.5 El Patron; 183 km/114 stmi

As for 1220 y 890 AM, must have bought some brokered time, not owned:
KTLV 1220 Midwest City is now UC:GOS, no mention of Spanish in new
2023-24 NRC AM Log; KTLR 890 OKC is REL/TLK, no mention of Spanish but
owned by Tyler Media which also runs KTUZ TV with three or four SS
networx, and KTUZ 106.7 fulltime Spanish (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 104.7, Aug 25 at 0455 UT, dead air in $tereo, strong
solid signal as if local. Only anomaly as I rushed out at 0450 to
check for sporadic E, as Randy Zerr in Nevada had just reported Enid
with an MUF of 90 MHz, on DXMAPS. Abruptly cuts on modulation at 0500
as KQSN Ponca City and into `Granger Smith After Midnight` a
nationally syndicated show. KQSN is normally the primary fringe signal
on 104.7 but area tropo is up. Something bit me on ankle on way to car
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

**WG Hauser** · 09-24-2023, 03:28 PM

** U S A. 101.5, Sept 10 from 1900 UT on an expedition some 10/15
miles north of Enid, I stick mostly to this frequency trying to
ID/sort out the fringe Spanish. Mostly unreadable, traces of Mexmx,
but a couple momentary peaks at 1915 and 1921 say `La Mexicana`, ergo
KSMM Liberal KS and not either Okie. Thataway there is more ACI from
101.3 Wichita (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 101.5, Sept 13 at 1955 UT on caradio, bits of Spanish and
partial ID as ``Mexicana ... y 93.9``, so of course it is again KSMM
Liberal KS which is also on 93.9 Dodge City KZRD --- not a relay of
92.9 KMML as there is no such station tho still shown that way in
WTFDA FM DB for 101.5.

Still no longer hearing any dead air in $tereo on 101.5, as per
numerous logs in August, which I assumed was out of my nearest, KOCD
Okeene. But of course never heard ID; could have confirmed only by
driving closer to Okeene, but R. Salvación website claims it and its
own LP primary on 93.9 in OKC had both gone off the air in January. So
if true, the DA might have been from the other Okie in Collinsville
near Tulsa. Or a remote possibility, an abandoned Part 15 RF feeder in
some parked car or residence in Enid, no input but left turned on. I
doubt this because of its wide range in town, not just around home
QTH.

In July I had a 101.5 log from KSMM and explained the confusion
between 92.9 & 93.9. At least since then, the ``silent`` notation
disappeared from 101.5 in the WTFDA DB. Except for a log in June on
101.5 also referring to 93.9 which I assumed was the OK pair rather
than KS, I had not had an Okeene 101.5 log since July of 2022,
including none since January 2023 -- tho as a semi-local would not
have paid much attention to it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Sept 18 at several chex on caradio around Enid,
circa 19, 20 and 21 UT, dead air in $tereo, again at original level
like months ago leading me to conclude it has to be KOCD Okeene
transmitter, altho R. Salvación claimed to have gone off the air last
January. It`s not local level, but plenty to dominate any signs of
further 101.5s. Once back at home QTH I try the DX-398 with RDS
capability, but not enough signal to display that icon if unlikely in
use, nor even stereo icon.

May have to take the time and trouble to drive the ~80 mile roundtrip
to Okeene, SW of Enid, to be sure. One FCC map indicates site is right
in center of town, slightly NW of junxion of state hwys 8 & 51; but
another shows it on east side, just north of hwy 51 and just east of
N2660 Rd. The 60 dbu contour of 14 kW does not reach Enid.

Digging further at FCC, I see nothing about it being off the air, nor
having been a relay of the 93.9 LPFM in OKC. In fact, guess what, the
main studio of record is in Liberal KS! Where there is another station
on 101.5 I have been getting:

(Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Sept 19 at 1500 UT on caradio, again dead air with
stereo icon, presumed KOCD. Recheck at 1703 on DX-398 with telescopic
antenna only and at ground level, now enough signal for RDS icon and
to display: KOCD-FM_ static! So now it`s 100% certain that all this DA
has been from the Okeene station which supposedly went off the air
last January. At this time RDS worx, but not enough signal for $tereo
icon (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 104.3, Sept 20 at 1952 UT, `B 104-3 The Point``, and rock.
Don`t ever hear this back in Enid, with 104.1 OKC adjacent, but 25 km
north on expedition, no problem; WTFDA FM DB: ``KVGB-FM 104.3 GREAT
