** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed June 21 at 1752, LRA36 talk already on the air, 1754 sounds like live ``buenas tardes`` greeting at 15 local time, between Sra. Menéndez and the usual male host. No signal direct altho imagination-level bit of the reduced carrier; of the four Argentine SDRs, the best one is offline; two get a trace at best, but the other one is weak but readable; steadily fades down to JBA by 1925 and not at all by 2015 but unknown if or when it turned off. Anyhow, now seems regular roughly 18-21 UT on Wed & Sat. I missed checking for those last week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA [non]. 12005, June 21 at 2130, annual BBCWS midwinter special for Antarcticans, greetings from families with bits of music interspersed such as ``I`m a Believer`` twice near the start. I first tried several remotes in Argentina, Uruguay, RSA, some getting some signal but inadequate. So I settle on UTwente, where I thought Woofferton might be skipping over, but sufficient at S9+20; and 13810 slightly weaker at S9+10 and minus 3 Hz offset. Third frequency, 7255 via UAE a very poor third everywhere if at all. I don`t get it why they disused Ascension, which should have put the best signal southward. Uncounted, but there were so many quick greetings that it`s hard to believe the target audience no more than 32 to 40 down there. Of course, each could receive greetings from several family, friends. At 2145 a quick check for my direct reception: both 12005 & 13810 audible but very poor. 2159 closing with ``Jingle Bells``, off at 2200* sharp. Anyhow, BBC are repeating it later and streaming, and I hope ondemand for convenience.

So not gone forever; but off again by 0558 check; closing circa 0400? or sporadic? something`s messed up at Metairie, or SNAFU at Fort Worth? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Just heard from George McClintock, that the hoped for sale of WTWW isn`t happening, so now it`s 98% likely that the 5 transmitters will be scrapped and land put up for sale - despite all his repair work the past several months. Some other US SW stations may not survive much longer either (Glenn Hauser, OK, June 15, WORLD OF RADIO 2195) ** U S A. 5085 & 9475, still no activity from WTWW; however George McClintock tells me June 21 there`s still a possibility of reactivation if some airtime can be sold. Partially depleted tubes may be sold on EBay. Vines are now overgrowing the two WTWW buildings. A tree fell over on one of the feedlines. SFAW HQ in Colorado is still paying electric bill at minimum rate of $2K per month, altho axual consumption has been nothing but air-conditioning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150.00, June 19 at 0556, surprise, gospel huxter in English about ``Yashua`` sp? stuff, VG S9+20/30, SSOB by far above 15720 NZ, 15770 WRMI. It`s loud but modulation a bit rough. No ID circa ToH 0600; says ``10 years ago it was 1969``. Says he is 44 years old now, and speculates whether he would be alive ten years plus, certainly not by age 100. Got to be DEJOM [deceased Elder Jacob O. Meyer] on WMLK, until now active only, sometimes on 9275 afternoons. WMLK has been registering 15150 for several years overnight, but first time I`ve ever heard this, nor anyone? Still going at 0630 but weakening to S6/S9. Of course summer is the only feasible season for such overnight propagation to Europe.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9275, Monday June 19 at 2005, again no signal from WMLK, into Virginia SDR; despite surprise appearance on its only other registered frequency 15150 overnight.

By 0412 presumed DEJOM with Yahweh stuff, perpetual obsession with ``correct`` name for their deity. At 0433 I check the website, still with no new info, altho the ``live radio`` plays -- but NOT // 15150, in fact an entirely different speaker. So far I have seen zero other reports about this in all the DX sources I have; no one has noticed but me starting two nights ago? Then, here`s another, June 21 at 0840 in bdxc-news: ``WMLK (Assemblies of Yahweh) Bethel, Pennsylvania currently on 15150 khz with a good signal here at 0830 tune in, usual preaching from the late Jacob O Meyer. SIO 344. First time I've heard WMLK on this frequency or at this time although they have been registering the frequency for many years in the HFCC. 15150 was first reported by Glenn Hauser on 19 June. WMLK schedule is Sunday to Friday: 0400-0900 on 15150, 1700-2200 on 9275. 73s Dave Kenny, Caversham Berks, AOR 7030+ / 25m longwire`` 9275, still no WMLK here at 2057 June 21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** 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. JUNE 11: 92.1 at 1742 UT, Braves baseball.

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.

I still have a minor FM DX opening June 14 to process, nothing since as of June 19 at 1730. You may wonder why this is intermixed with my SW and other bands DX. It is my subtle suggestion that there is more to DXing than overspecialization (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** 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. {and see a reply to this further 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.
