** ALGERIA [and non]. 15340 was first reported by Jorge Freitas, Brasil, to the WOR iog as unID in Arabic, July 22 at 2345. It remained on air long into the night and then numerously monitored. Ultimately concluding that TDA is *finally* on air, testing at least from own site(s) inside Algeria, besides the long-standing relays via France. Otherwise occupied, I did not get on it until 2030 July 23, and posted at 2043: ``So do we have both sites suddenly testing? Altho not adhering to registered times, 17600 is supposedly Béchar and 15340 Ourgla. 15340 is S5-S6 into UTwente, going from Arabic talk to song at 2030.

Here`s HFCC to look for other possible frequencies. http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A22&broadc=TDA The Ourgla frequencies registered, mostly for a few hours each: 7430, 15340, 15700, 17550, 9835, 13600; Bechar: 9750, 7205, 9750, 15680, 17600, 21500, 15250.

CFCN, like practically all Canadian television stations, no longer uses its call letters or channel number to identify itself, which is a real shame IMHO. Since the late '00s, CFCN advertises itself as CTV Calgary.

The 92.9s elsewhen were in MT and WA. Spokane has a virtual 4, KXLY. Searching on `Channel 4 Weather Center`` gets nowhere, and then there is KXLF in Butte, not the 92.9 city but Great Falls.
