So, was there English segment earlier circa 0145? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 11780, June 11 from 0140, I`m monitoring RNA/RNB via various ZY, OA remotes, one of which times out in only 5 minutes; the best signal from this or 6180 are not into the `local` `Brasila` one. Because last night there was no token English at 0150, rather Spanish and then some native language. But tonight hyper Brasuguese keeps going past 0150 and 0200, I guess some stupid ballgame. So maybe tomorrow night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034 USB, June 6 at 1448, CHR, Trenton Military is back! Only S5. After absence for almost two months, first noted missing on April 8. Since then I have checked at least once every day in routine bandscans, and occasionally night frequency 6754 USB. Both Aviation Weather and Terminal Forecasts from the usual airports. ID at 1451 and ``time, 1450 zulu`` -- only one minute off. Listened for a couple minutes and did not hear any ``no report received``s, tho that would be routine for at least a few cases. Just in time as the only other Canadian VOLMET, Gander is closing permanently June 12 at 0901*. However, 15034 USB not audible at 2211, nor on 6754 USB, nor either into Maryland SDR at 2302.

Not clear where the TS originate, but totally wrong and should not have aired as if accurate. Must be quite a delay in getting BBCWS into RNZ. I think BBC news would have started at 0601 in real time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2298) ** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, June 6 at 0630, RNZP right after BBC relay, is running about two syllables behind // 11725, as I switch from one to the other on same receiver, why?

Reply to my previous report about BBC relay running late: ``I noticed that the BBCWS relay via RNZ today was off by a whopping 4 minutes 37 seconds approximately as my PC clock may be off by a second and the RNZ ToH pip was at 0600:01.

The two are normally // but not exactly in sync (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1670 kHz, June 11 at 2020 UT, for the record, Virtual DJ Radio is still going, always audible in the vicinity of junxion of US81 and 412 in Enid. Rock music with DJs naming themselves. Am I the only one anywhere hearing this webcaster transmitted on AM or FM? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 88.3, June 6 at 1900 UT, KJIL ID, as its translator here in Enid has just moved from 88.7, presumably because of less CCI for it. But now we may forget about otherokies on 88.3 or DX; and may impede reception on 88.1 & 88.5. Will also have to run our RF feeders elsewhere than 88.3, maybe 88.7. WTFDA just notified FCC axion of 88.7 K204GU being replaced by 88.3 K202EU. KJIL is a gospel huxter on 90.1 in Copeland KS, with lots of translators. WTFDA FMDB shows 17 of them plus 6 non-translator relays not only in KS & OK but also in adjacent CO & TX across the OK Panhandle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. We were up late June 7 past 0700 UT in case of tornado warnings; lots around but missing Enid. Made quick check of local FM dial for anomalies. Off the air: 95.7, 107.1. Wx info maybe from TV station: 89.7. Relaying NWS advisory at 0713: 106.3. Regular schedule with music or talk: 97.7, 100.9. By 1545, 95.7 & 107.1 on the air; maybe had power failure at site rather than damage (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) More FM: See U S A ** OKLAHOMA.  Incredibly, this entry is still in the WTFDA FM Database as of June 10, 2025: ``K226BR KIMY 93.9 93.1 ENID OK USA 0.25 0.25 0.0 0.0 36-23-48 97-52-38 SOUTHERN GOSPEL THE GOSPEL STATION 156415`` IT HAS BEEN GONE FOR OVER 12 YEARS, AS I ORIGINALLY NOTED ON May 27, 2013: ``93.1 K226BR, the one which provided straw-sucking-on-almost-empty-cup sounds, has been off for a few weeks now (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``   I have occasionally mentioned its absence further once every year or two.

Mike``` Bugaj, WTFDA. A little; altho I have obviously not monitored 93.1, 24/7 for 12+ years, I should be extremely surprised if anyone could prove it were *ever* on the air. I wonder if its ex-primary KIMY 93.9 Watonga know of the situation (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. MORE ENID FM UPDATES: This station still has not yet gone on the air, and the Part 15 OG&E downtown on 95.1 has remained off: ``KOKJ-LP 95.1 ENID OK USA 0.1 0.1 29.0 29.0 36-24-13 97-52-40 788786`` This one has changed to relay 99.9 as below, no longer KLVV, several months ago as I reported at the time:  ``K253BC KLVV 88.7 98.5 ENID OK USA 0.25 0.25 0.0 0.0 36-28-3897-58-14 CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MY PRAISE FM 51936`` ``KVBN-LP 99.9 ENID OK USA 0.075 0.0 34.0 0.0 36-25-54 97-50-16 RELIGIOUS TEACHING 194113`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Bandscan in downtown Enid by USPS Box 1684, finds anomalies: 92.1 deadair in $tereo; 101.7 deadair in mono, probably idle RF feeders in parked vehicles. On 96.3 extremely distorted mixture of two talk stations, never heard before. This is a block from the almost-vacant Broadway Tower hosting some FM stations, but I can`t figure out a mixing formula and have only the caradio, no second receiver to search for matches. Once further from downtown I am hearing on 92.1 as expected mono music and at 2029 UT, ``America`s Best Country 92.1``; ad for an event June 28! for Independence Day in Bray, which is the next town a few miles east of Marlow, ad for Legacy Bank, and ``KFXI, Country 92``.  WTFDA FMDB shows ``KFXI Foxy 92 The Real Country Giant`` which may well also be correct, as any station does not necessarily have a certain single slogan engraved in stone and no others, but variations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 104.7, June 10 at 0504 UT, KQSN Ponca City, dead air in $tereo again - only result of yet another fruitless Es FM DX bandscan prompted by some recent paths into OK on DXMAP. Maybe just for an automated ToH newshole? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. My last DTV set-top-box converter is back in service. More than a week ago there was a power glitch, after which it refused to turn back on -- or rather its eye did change from red to blue, but no output into the TV set. Finally after multiple reboots it`s back, until the next power failure. So with somewhat tropo enhancement I do a mostly-UHF bandscan June 11 at 0337 UT. RF 28, virtual 34 from Tulsa market, KTPX-TV Okmulgee, is decoding; several BAD signals achieve at least a little bar on RF: 36, 34, 31, 26, 22, 21, 20, 14. And Enid`s only local TV, K17JN-D on RF 17 is OFF AGAIN, a.k.a. K17JI-D mis-ID. K17JN-D is licensed to Clarion Broadcasting Group, Inc., admittedly closely allied to 3ABN, and with three other low-power relays in OK. I much prefer this Zenith receiver rather than DTV sets with built-in tuners which are user/DXer-unfriendly. Why the hell should I have to scan for signals rather than manually tune easily to each channel no matter temporarily? how weak?? Of course these were handed out free at the big DTV conversion; I got a few but should have got more, at least in reserve. Wonder if they still be available, preferably new/unused (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, June 10 at 1423, TOMBS via WWCR still blasting S9+40. However, big news from Wavescan is that the BS ministry is about to quit SW; more on the next WS. This may have a drastic effect on most private US SW stations depending on that cash cow, if they can stay on the air at all, reducing other programming hours? But they will no longer be so embarrassed or subject to ridicule.
