TV logs to Enid OK, May 19-June 3, 2025

** OKLAHOMA. A bit of area tropo visiblizes a couple more channels to
explore, May 20 at 0440-0445 UT:

RF23, OKC:
52-1 KSBI-HD
52-2 BOUNCE
52-3 LAFF
52-4 GRIT
52-5 ION+ [why isn`t this with ION on RF 18??]

Also the STB remembers some alternate virtuals: 52-1 and 52-2 leading
to RF51 where of course there is no signal any longer.

RF28: which is KTPX-TV Okmulgee, Tulsa market; compare to OKC RF 18 in
previous report, some match, but not all on KOPX.
44-1 ION
44-2 [skipped]
44-3 CourtTV
44-4 MOVIES!
44-5 Mystery
44-6 GameSho
44-7 QVC
44-8 HSN
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Tornado season means OKC TV stations blow away a lot of
network programming, for often continuous storm coverage. May 19 at
2233 UT, KFOR `4` RF 27 did join NBC Afternoonly News a bit late;
while KWTV `9`, RF 25 shunted CBS Afternoon News to its substation
KSBI `52` RF 23 Cable 16. KOCO ABC and KOKH Fox also have substations
but I`ve yet to find them shunting major network programming to any of
those. KFOR could also do that, to KAUT. Or extremely important
preëmpted shows can be played in the nightmiddle for recording, such
as Jeopardy on KFOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Some area tropo affects UHF TV, May 21 at 1455 UT. Bad
signal on RF 20 briefly decodes with News on 6, which is KOTV Tulsa,
and after tuning around I get same on RF 26, which is primary, but how
was I seeing same on 20? Rabbitears.info reminds us that RF 20 is
KQCW, 19-1, which is a substation of KOTV. Checking KQCW program
schedule, yes in fact they put News on 6 on KQCW during that and
several other hours. KOTV news stream audio is also on 1170 kHz, now
renamed KOTV too, ex-KTSB, ex-KFAQ, ex-KVOO. And 1170 also spews IBOC
QRM above 1180, ``jamming`` R. Martí.

Otherwise around 15 UT May 21: NO signal on 17, not a bit on the
``meter`` from local Enid K17JN-D misnamed K17JI-D. Either it is off,
or totally QRMed by DX, such as KTEN Ada, OK`s only full-power on 17.
Later in afternoon when tropo has burned off, still zero on 17, such
as 2330.

RF 29, KTUZ signal is BAD, unusual, must be DX QRM. But there are no
other full-powers in OK or KS per FCC LMS. BTW, City of License
Shawnee for KTUZ is meaningless, as it`s really part of the NE OKC
antenna farm, sharing the very same tower with all these TV and FM:

And how can 27 KFOR-TV be only 55 kW ND, while 29 KTUZ-TV is 1000 kW
ND? Normally roughly equal signals here (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

`Samantha Brown`s Places to Love` on PBS/OETA Create channel is
