** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, July 6 circa 1500, I miss checking for LRA36 this Wednesday, but Gary Pence was getting it via the KFS remote in California, and Brazilians from 1446 to 1511* LOS, peaking at 1458-1502 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday July 9, I start listening at 1450 via Argentine remote; LRA36 abruptly cuts on air during song at *1455.7; 1501 standard canned sign-on including Spanish/German/English/Korean warning that this is going to be in Spanish, ``Ciclo Radial 2022 Audaz``. Staff names, 1502.7 Antártida themesong; 1507.7 ``su compañía`` ID, 1508 song; 1512 YLs seemingly live greeting originally on Wednesday, as program #10 in the 2022 Esperanza Audaz cycle, ``bajo el cielo más austral``. This conflicts with a sporadic E FM DX opening from the west I have been missing, so I move to the caradio, while blotting a potentially ``open`` but unlikely frequency, 90.7 with my RF feeder from the computer; and check it occasionally while failing to ID any FM DX in bandscanning. 1529, LRA36 still going with this-week-in-history, July 7 something about condors. But it`s OFF already at next check 1534 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wednesday July 13 from 1455 to 1555, NEVER any signal from LRA36 into best Argentine SDR, another failure of scheduled broadcast; but there are blaaps every 7.5 seconds and irregular clix, OTH radar? none of which would have been serious obstacles. Better luck on Saturday July 16? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9673.72 & 9673.52 approx., July 7 at 0701, RVM praise music in Portuguese keeps hopping back and forth around these as I am trying to measure it exactly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9673.80 / 9873.86, July 9 at 0621, RVM praise music jumping around these two spots as I try to measure it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9673.4/9673.5, jumpy transmitter, July 10 at 0635, RVM ID in Portuguese, and then in *Spanish* with Brazuguese accent, including contact address in Camboriú. They also run IDs in English but none caught lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL [and non]. 9673.9V approx., Tue July 12 at 0630, RVM unstable around here, higher than usual, not trying to measure more precisely, but notice *0633 JBA carrier het from 9675. Nothing scheduled to start circa 0630, but presumably CNR1 Beijing 572 site supposed to run 2300-1000 except Tuesday siesta 0600-0900 per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 5938.458, July 12 at 0720, RVM`s other off-frequency measured here, facilitated by the absence of 5935 WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 17615, July 11 at 0628, S6/S7 JBA Chinese music. Aoki & EiBi show CRI doubling up during the 06-07 hour: German via Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, and Mandarin via Kunming. I`ve still hearing this and a number of other 16 mb signals from the dayside in the summer nightmiddle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, July 7 at 0646, RHC English again on unsked frequency, S9/+10 but somewhat distorted; only other still on is // 6165; 5040 still on in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13629 & 13771 approx., July 7 at 1441, RHC spurblobs from 13700 at plus/minus ~71 kHz, rather weak this time, no readable modulation even in FM mode; also second order 13558 approx. vs. RF ID local ISM beepery 24h on 13560; but can`t be sure of a match on 13842 vs 13845 WWCR AM. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13670 & 13810, July 8 at 0157, clicking like modulation peak spikes, and since they are 70 kHz equidistant from 13740, I conclude they be produced by that RHC transmitter. Unlike the spurblobs in the mornings from 13700: these with no F# tone, no FM, no mush. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13629 & 13772 approx., July 9 at 1436, FMish spurblobs from 13700 RHC, during extremely distorted music, F# tone, S5/S8 the lower and S5/S6 the upper while fundamental is S7/S9. Also can detect weaker second-orders circa 13553 & 13842 about S4/S5. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Someone reported these to one or two decimal places but for me they are too broad and amorphous to pinpoint. Perhaps SDR in Synch mode could display more precise frequencies, which I have never tried. In FM mode here the lower one covered at least 13550-13556 so one could only guess the middle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, July 10 at 0009, RHC with a malady I`ve never heard before. Sounds like someone whispering but with volume turned way up, unreadable distortion. Some dead air and 0010 resumes; much weaker 6000 seems // as it should be for English now. But 0018 recheck, 6165 is clear with normal mod but in Spanish; 0019 English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, July 10 at 0627, all four English RHCs are off already, unusual; nor on 11670. 5040 is still on but in Spanish. I suppose that led to no Esperanto at 0700 Sunday, unrechecked then. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13630 & 13772 approx., July 10 at 1440, spurblobs with F# tone and minimal musical modulation more audible in AM mode than FM; out of RHC 13700. Also weaker second-orders circa 13840 & 13560. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, July 11 at 0645, RHC English during mailbag, overmodulated & distorted on this erroneous frequency not on every night, S9+10, // 6165 only S9+20/30. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5040, UT Monday July 11 at 0647, RHC still on in Spanish with last few minutes of `En Contacto`, YL with prop info, i.e. solar flux and A-index predixions for each day thru August 12; source not clear but much like the SWPC info from yanqui imperialists that I copy and post. Brief explanation of OWF = optimum working frequency under some other name. Closing credits with no mention of Arnaldo Coro Antich, long version of theme with Morse code embedded until 0651, `En Cía. del Doctor`. Would have started circa 0635, presumably final repeat of several Sunday airings starting with 1335, which I have not monitored in a long time. 0635 Monday is *not* included in wb`s SWL / Media Programs in English, German & Spanish, just Sun 1335, 2235, Mon 0135 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, July 11 at 1438, S9/+10 of dead air from RHC, but a minute later comes to life. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, 6100, 6165, July 12 at 0640, RHC English manages to run all three for a change tonight. 6000 normally closes by 0600 but not always. No harmonix or leapfrogs heard now. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side to R.

ALFREDO HERRERA SÁNCHEZ | Madrid... https://diariodecuba.com/derechos-humanos/1657558218_40838.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, July 13 at 0630, all these RHCs are off already in English. You never know which or any will remain after 0600. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, July 6 at 2136, R. Cairo English scheduled, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR but extremely distorted music with whine; no better at 2214 recheck. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, July 8 at 2151 and 2220 chex, instead of huge unreadable mess, no signal at all today from R. Cairo in English, checking at UTwente. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, July 9 at 2210, R. Cairo is very much on today, for English to the NW, S9+25/35 into UTwente, but extremely distorted and totally unlistenable. As ever. But almost on-frequency; that`s something? 9899.965, July 9 at 2212, UTwente also gets an S9+25/35 signal here, presumably the other R. Cairo Abis, and it`s clean. Trouble is, just barely modulated. Somethings` always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, July 11 at 2215, R. Cairo, S9+30/40 into UTwente but humwhine only in English. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, July 13 at 2204, R. Cairo is terribly overmodulated and distorted with hum but English news? somewhat readable if you put up with it, which I will not for more than a few seconds, S9+30/40 into UTwente. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. The much-anticipated first images from the Webb Spacescope: yes, they are impressive and pretty - but we realize they are the outcome of post-produxion, as no humaneye could ever see anything like that. We hope to trust that the colorization, converted from infrared wavelengths, bear some relation to reality; but spare us all the six-pointed ``stars``, which if not imposed deliberately would be considered produced by defective optix. Not satisfied with glimpses on various TV news, I went to the NASA.gov website, which also prompted me to take a survey: fine, I`ll tell them off! ``Do not close this window`` --- I did not but it disappeared anyway. Oops, altho gone from main screen I later find it - but most of the 37 questions are *required multiple-choice, and have nothing to do with my issue, rather presentation of the website in general, etc. Nevermind (Glenn Hauser, Terra, WOR) ** MEXICO. 730, July 11 at 0703 song in English, so something unMexican? No, 0705 ID in Spanish mentioned ``W``, and another song in English. IRCA Mexican log 2021 shows XEX is now only 60 kW and supposedly Deportes. I guess it can`t be sports 24/7 or is there a change? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 7425 AM, July 7 at 0654, S9/+20 VG signal talking about NZ but chopped off at 0655*. No, NOT 7245. 7425 is a registered alternate for RNZP, so must be one of their Thursday maintenance tests; and 9700 is absent, so anyone axually listening for content is out of luck! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also unIDs 5980, 6075 ** NIGERIA. 7254.9v, July 12 at 0635, NO signal from VON nor has there been for several weeks, checked almost every night after 0600; nor have I seen any other reports about this, nor other possible frequencies 9690-, 11770-, 15120 being heard at any hours. It seems a lot of monitors are not alert for stations *missing* from previous/known activity. Some editors are loathe to publish any *non* log, as meaningless? Nor has there been wailing and gnashing of teeth about the loss of another SWBC country like there has been about Greece. In that case there was some ERT news about a decision to stop it, but no news from Nigeria one way or the other. Does anyone have Nigeria/VON contacts to enlighten us about the situation, temporary or permanent? WRTH 2022 says they have 2 x 250 kW transmitters at Abuja Lugbe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, July 8 at 0154 UT, there is country KOFM 103.1 relay again by local CB pirate, steady S9. And again July 9 at 0435 on 27184.46, S9+40, ID as ``My Country 103.1 KOFM`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.46 AM, July 10 at 1437, country music no doubt from KOFM 103.1 Enid as relayed by local CB pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.7 AM, July 12 at 2351, CB pirate relay of 103.1 KOFM Enid during local adstring, S9+10/20. What a bonus for advertisers! Does KOFM even know or care about this hijacking? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Bandscanning on caradio for sporadic E FM DX July 9: 92.3 at 1512 UT, KimKomando.com show where a caller thinx it`s afternoon, still at 1528. I quit car at 1538, but still audible KK sometime after 1600 recheck. May not be skip but I attempt to find a station on 92.3 via: https://www.komando.com/airtimes/ Yes, this is how the KK 420+ station search is set up. You have to enter a time and day of week, and specify timezone. So I enter 10 am Sat in CT, 9 am MT, 8 am PT and for good measure 11 am ET. Each search displays three stations, no more, no less, which is suspicious, without their locations, and not a 92.3 among them! Since this weak signal is pretty steady, I figure it`s only OK, such as 10.5 kW KMZE Woodward, or Kansas, KKGQ Newton, but that should be ESPN only. Radio Locator says KMZE has no website, and is ``Power Hits Z92`` which sure doesn`t sound like a talk format; while WTFDA FM database says it`s talk/sports. One may also search KK by zipcode or location so I enter Woodward, and what do I get? A map of SE PA and Maryland with 6 possible stations pinpointed! Why have we landed here? There is a tiny 100-population Woodward in central PA near Lewisburg. Make it the metropolis of Woodward OK, and finally BINGO, KMZE 92.3 Saturday at 9 am. So if she last more than an hour you won`t get a hit on the second hour. Come on, KK, internet guruess, you can do better than that. But KMZE does have a website linked from KimKom: http://www.z92online.com/ and most of their shows are far-right extremist nonsense (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. K17JN-D, Enid`s only local TV signal, is OFF, July 8 at 1515 UT. Translator has been 3ABN and various related gospel-huxter subchannels, 2 or 3 of them audio only, not shown at rabbitears.info, including Radio 74 which is also on 89.3 from KIEL, Loyal OK. Lately 17 had been weak and somewhat not decoding, but not sure if them or my antenna at fault. Now we know. I am not eager to have them back, and shamefully, Enid deserves some local relays of secular OKC stations, notably OETA (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TAIWAN. 9705, July 7 at 1450, pop songs S5/S8, best extra-continental signal on band while K-index is 5, i.e. per Aoki, Furusato no Kaze in Japanese at 1430-1458 via Paochung site. On a NNE beam it would carry on well to OK far beyond target Korea North (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, July 8 at 2203, no signal from VOT English to N America, into UTwente, but something weaker presumably China. Will be on later? No, still not at 2221. Then I check five other frequencies on the TRT HFCC schedule, supposed to be on air just before 2200, as at other times, the sloppyrators have been caught forgetting to change frequencies: No, nothing from TRT either on 9880, 9875, 9635, 9460 or 5960. Somethings always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.021, July 9 at 2213, VOT English is certainly on today, and typically plus 21 Hz into UTwente at S9+35/45; but heavy humwhine making it very annoying to listen to altho mostly readable, announcers` accents permitting, if one put up with it. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.021, July 11 at 2216, VOT English S9+40 into UTwente, YL talking about vitamins. Must be `Feeling Supreme` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830+, July 13 at 2207, VOT ending news and already into `Feeling Supreme` theme, and about bone health with osteoporosis repeatedly mispronounced, right into recommended nutrients: garlic, apple-a-day, rosemary, coconut oil, pineapple, broccoli... Standard disclaimer. To Maryland SDR it`s S9/+15 with RTTY on + side so must listen on LSB, and +20+ Hz offset. To UTwente, no RTTY, S9+35/50 and +21 Hz. To both it`s humbuzzy, annoying. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Normally there are press reviews, commentary before getting into features like FeelSup at least 20 minutes into. Something`s always awry at Ankara. But it`s not AWOL today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 12 at 0501-0509, UR1 via WRMI with English `Ukraine: Security Issue`, and current, dated July 11 for Day 138 of Russia`s war; includes latest attax on Kharkiv; Russia still has 2000 missiles ready to use. After some weeks of no UR1 streaming, it has resumed and so have the daily WRMI relays, rest of hour in Ukrainian, S9+5 into Maryland SDR. Also scheduled at 12-13 UT except Fridays southward on 5010, never checked here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 13 at 0501-0507, `Ukraine: Security Issue` via WRMI.

Clearer on 7730. As usual on System F, my last few words are overridden by Bishop Bob Biermann`s canned ID claiming to be on 9395! Also before 0159 I compared 5850 modulation to 5800 & 5950 which were definitely louder and clearer. Also confirmed UT Friday July 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA but slightly better into Missouri than Maryland SDR, both vs HSNL = high storm noise level.

Next: 1815 on IRRS as above (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2146 monitoring: confirmed Friday July 8 from 1815.2 on IRRS SW via Bulgaria 7290, S8/S9+15 into UTwente; also via AM Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 kHz, S9+20 into nearby Noale SDR, and this time also on better 918 kHz, S9+30; but no signal on LW 207 kHz: are they ever running that any more? Played to completion before 1844 music fill. Also tuned these in earlier: 1323 & 918 at 1754 with `Counterspin` excellent program but merits being more than a fragment-filler, chopped off before finished at 1800 for ``IRRS SW signing-on`` and right into Feature Story News. As always the 7290 transmitter cannot/will not/never does cut on air until 1800.8 JIP FSN. 1805 IRRS ID with PO Box in Milano they otherwise deny access to; 1805.6 YL solo song and more music; 1813 DJ on WBAI, `Off the Hook` is ``coming up, now 7:02 pm``. A fragment of another excellent show opening until chopped off at 1815 IRRS quick ID and then WOR. Both those programs deserve specific regular spots on IRRS; so I search each of the 7 daily program schedules on each name, Hook and Counterspin via: https://www.nexus.org/member-services/radio-and-tv/schedules/ and do not get a single hit; including mostly webcasting-only filling the 24 hours. {quite possibly, more fragments of these do appear on IRRS, during the many generic program hours with no specific commitments.} WOR 2146 also confirmed Friday July 8 at 2030.5 on AM Italia 918 & 1323, both slightly stronger now with 918 still superior, S9+32 vs S9+22. Some other talk show was chopped off at 2030 for IRRS ID. Also confirmed UT Saturday July 9 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/15 into Maryland SDR. Also confirmed UT Saturday July 9 at 0400 on WBCQ 5130, S6/S9 into Rochester SDR, -27 Hz = 5129.973. For a change, the PEI SDR was also getting 5130 well earlier during the 0230 R.

Was any US SW station broadcasting live coverage of the current Jan 6 Committee hearing about the Insurrexion, also just wrapping up at 1958 UT? Too busy hearwatching it on TV, but we know the answer. Free Speech and Public Service have their limitations! Previous hearings have already been pointedly avoided by commercial AM & FM radio, overwhelmingly dedicated to far-right talk agenda, far more important sports, or music. At least besides the cable news networx, mainstream TV, ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS were on it from 1700 UT. For those who missed it, MSNBC panel will review it all from 0000 UT Wednesday, to repeat at 0400. Two hours planned for each altho the live hearing, commercial-free, took three hours with a break of more than nominal ten minutes.

Google ``translates`` to same word in English, an anomaly already dealt with at Quora: ``Google translate says the word "Perrona" in Spanish means "Perrona" in English. Is that a correct translation or not?`` Luis Carlos Olmeda · Follow Knows Spanish4y replies: ``Perrona in Spanish is an adjective that’s mostly used in the northern part of México, to refer that something is cool in a more unpolite way, like “f-ing awesome” (but not exactly, as “f-ing awesome” would be considered rude, and when it comes to be polite, the word “perron/perrona” -perrona would be the femenine case- doesn’t break the rule). Now, to go more into specifics, the origin of that word has the prefix “perr-” which comes from the word “perro”, whose literal translation would be “dog”. Now, if you ask me why does it have that prefix, I wouldn’t know, and to be honest I don’t think that any Mexican could give you an explanation about it. Hope this answers your question, as it’s the first one that I get to answer in Quora, and my English is far from being perfect.

There are some split-second dropouts in the music. 1830, ``America, the Beautiful`` soul version; 1832 segué to ``Star Spangled Banner`` jazz version. Searching the DB on formats jazz, soul, urban: no hits in the 4-state area, but this fits best despite being LDS, near Idaho Falls, presumably non-commercial and this is Independence Day!: KBYI 94.3 REXBURG ID USA NEWS/CLASSICAL BYU - IDAHO RADIO 99.0 kW 211.0 m Be Informed. Be Inspired. BYU Idaho Classical --- 1440 km = 895 mi. I look at its program schedule which is mostly classical, some NPR talk. A typical Monday during the local noon hour: ``Weekdays on BYU-Idaho Radio, 12 Noon: WEEKDAYS is the best in music and great local interviews. With everything from Broadway, to Disney, to *jazz and swing*, there’s something for everyone! After the music, BYU-Idaho’s newsroom brings you a local and exclusive interview to help keep you in the loop. Refresh your workdays with music and interviews from Weekdays! The program is hosted by BYU-Idaho Radio students and staff`` 96.7 at 1828, Spanish, ranchera, frenetic ad, promo, fadeout. Sure is a lot of Spanish in Aidajó! Here`s one in the PTA, and there is no SS of any power in the other four states: K244BJ relays:KIGO-1420 96.7 IDAHO FALLS ID Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN RADIO FIESTA 0.25 kW 123 mH only --- 1439 km = 894 mi 94.1 at 1832, (406) area code = Montana, Starling`s Event Center, classic rock. Searching finds lots of Sterlings, not in PTA. There is a Starling somewhere in AC (405) = Oklahoma. The two MT stations don`t get a correlation for either spelling, but surely one of them: KOPR 94.1 BUTTE MT ADULT HITS KOPR 94.1 FM 58.0 kW 566.0 m --- distancefromto ``thinx`` Butte MT is in central Colorado!

Spent a lot of time tracing names and phone numbers without definite results but probably not local anyway. Anyway: KCWB 92.1 BYRON WY COUNTRY THE COWBOY 92.1 100.0 kW 575.0 m --- distancefromto ``thinx`` Byron WY is on Long Island NY! Spell out Wyoming: 1294 km = 804 mi --- near MT border, NE of Cody 91.9 at 1843, anti-fascist folk song, Woody Guthrie; and ``Blowin` in the Wind``; 1846 speech about America in 1956y; 1848 fades. 1851 YL discussing the songs but with gospel huxter QRM. There are lots of 91.9 translators in MT but two full powers, this most likely: KGLT 91.9 BOZEMAN MT VARIETY ALTERNATIVE PUBLIC RADIO IN SOUTHWEST MONTANA 12.0 kW 262.0 m MONTANA UNIVERSITY SYSTEM -- 1508 km = 937 mi while the other one, also at 1901 with Family Radio ID is: KFRW 91.9 GREAT FALLS MT RELIGIOUS TEACHING FAMILY RADIO 50.0 kW 142.0 m --- 1657 km = 1029 mi 93.1 at 1849, ads for Hélena Orthopedic Clinic and Hélena Hardwood Floors, but it`s only a translator while a full power is in Sidney not at all near Hélena: K226BI relays:KKGR-680 93.1 HELENA MT CLASSIC HITS HELENA`S GREATEST HITS 0.25 kWV only 212.7 mV only --- distancefromto ``thinx`` Helena MT is in southern Illinois! spell out Montana: 1630 km = 1013 mi KGCX 93.1 SIDNEY MT CLASSIC ROCK EAGLE 93 100.0 kW 110.1 m --- distancefromto ``thinx`` Sidney MT is in Arkansas!

Resuming at 1946-1956, no DX. I wonder if the opening moved on to Saskatchewan? BTW, the mass shooting in Highland Park IL had just happened, but in all my tuning of DX and past local FM stations I never heard a word about it, while it was wall-to-wall on the cable TV news networx. Commercial radio is a totally different world! As I finally complete this compilation July 8 at 1725 UT there is a 100-MHz MUF peak on DXMAP, over SE OK/NE TX, which mean all the FM DX is skipping right over us; you`re welcome (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A. DXMAP shows 100+ MHz Es MUF westward, July 9 circa 1500 UT; if there is any DX, Randy Zerr is showing it from his remote corner of Nevada. This conflicts with monitoring LRA36 via remote on computer, see ANTARCTICA. But at 1517 I start bandscanning FM on the caradio. Furthermore, morning tropo is up from my fringers in Tulsa, Kansas. I do have some brief unIDs which may be Es: 94.9 at 1519 rock; 94.5 at 1520 about video courses. 94.3 at 1511, financial talk, not // 95.1 so not the Bott in Kansas, but this is in mono like it is. By 1526, these frequencies are // so only KS and OK. Continued under [spoiler] OKLAHOMA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Sporadic E FM DX July 10: much of the day it was working in SE USA, slightly out of reach to OK. No DX at first check 2019 UT. MUF patches often drift westward as the day goes on and by 22 UT it seems to be worth trying despite the 101-degree heat in the shade and at least that much in the garaged car. It`s clear that everything is coming from Florida, so in follow-up research on the WTFDA FM Database, I`m searching only Florida frequencies. As usual, all on my own caradio, vertical fender antenna only, no RDS, my own ears only in real time, no recording, no internet access until later, all times strictly UT, in chrono order. Some circumstantial; any correxions or ID help welcomed. I don`t count stations, states or anything and am not in competition. Rather, each DX log is a potential learning experience.
