** CUBA. 5040, April 21 at 0101, RHC making evening Spanish frequency
announcement, so I copy it sic in typical Soviet-style reverse disorder: 15230,
13740, 11670, 11840, 9535, 9710, 6060, and at 03-07 5040; until 0400 11760. It`s
wrong/outdated! The studionix are not SWLs, even of their own station, or they
would know better. 9710 is reconfirmed off (audiblizing CRI Portuguese via
Kashgar), replaced by 7340, and I`m hearing this on 5040 which they think won`t
be running until 0300! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT.
9744.60, April 21 at 0040, S7-S9 open AM carrier and off just after tune-in.
Uplooked later, seems like it would be from R. Cairo in Spanish at 0045-0200;
A-17 alternate being 12005. I was of course hoping for some sign of Bahrain on
9745-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA.
6924.95-AM, April 21 at 0055, repetitive music at S7-S8, measured at 0124
seeming talk and music at same time. A few logs here include a Liquid Radio ID
heard at 0057:

** OKLAHOMA. 90.9 FM, April 20 at 1925
UT I notice that KOKF OKC is in a far-right anti-Obama talkshow, while adjacent
91.1 KKRD Enid is in usual praise music. Normally until now these two were
always in // with Air One; you couldn`t even hear a break tuning between them.
WTFDA Database still shows them both with that, ``Christian
CHR/Rock``:
KOKF 90.9 EDMOND OK USA 7.8 7.8 451.0 451.0 35-33-37
97-29-06 3601 Air 1 Air 1 AIR ONE CHRISTIAN CHR/ROCK
KKRD 91.1 ENID OK
USA 0.2 0.2 97.0 97.0 36-23-48 97-52-38 2C25 1073KKRD - AIR ONE CHRISTIAN
CHR/ROCK
So apparently KOKF has changed to another program source, at
least part of the time; does Air One also have a talk channel? Since I find them
both so disgusting, it may be a while before I can figure out from monitoring
what`s going on.
At 1720 UT check April 21, 90.9 is back to praise music
but 91.1 is off! We`ve just had storms blow thru, so a quick check of other
frequencies: 88.3 Family Radio translator is off (altho not unusual), other
translators: 89.1 is in dead air, 105.5 is off. OKC had much worse storms and
many more power outages than Enid, flooding and power poles snapped along May
Avenue; cursory check does not find any OKC FM stations AWOL (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 92.1 FM, April 20 at 1926 UT
check, KAMG-LP Enid is still off, might as well be permanently as it was nothing
but a satellator for a Spanish gospel-huxter network (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [and non]. 13805, UT Friday April 21 at 0037,
JBA wobbly carrier is here, with hardly anything else on 22mb except 13740 Cuba.
HFCC on 13805 shows only two imaginary registrations for R. Rossii via Irkutsk
due south at 12-13 & 13-14. Aoki has the answer: nothing but VOA Tibetan via
THAILAND, at 0000-0100 only on Fridays and of course *jammed by the ChiCom. It`s
one of those broadcasts on a different frequency every day of the week, just to
keep the jamming controllers busy, and confuse would-be listeners. Aoki shows
current 00-01 lineup:
Sun 13810, Mon 13640, Tue 13630, Wed 13670, Thu 13690,
Fri 13805, Sat 13760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
4630-USB, UT Fri April 21 at 0104, Manatee 91 contacting weaker NCS which sounds
like Roskot(?) 92. I figure this is CAP, from Florida? Does anyone have a handy
table of CAP tactical callsigns for each state?
4627-USB, UT Fri Apr 21
at 0105, another net 3 kHz below the CAP, probably more of same from different
region in favorite evening timeslot. Main station makes a beep at end of each
transmission.
4041-USB, UT Fri April 21 at 0108, Army MARS net A7A, one
specific call being AAR7JO.
4027-USB, UT Fri April 21 at 0108, another
Army MARS net, A4A. At 0110 this one is making a digital
racket.
4017-USB, UT Fri April 21 at 0110, yet another weak net, probably
MARS. Seems everyone likes to gather circa 8 or 9 pm local, a peak time for
T-storms this yearpart (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

7195-LSB, April 21 at 0051, W8P special event station in Michigan making quick
contacts, 0053 finally explained as for the 100th anniversary of MI State
Police. W8P searched on qrz.com says:
``Join the Livingston Amateur Radio
Klub (W8LRK) April 15th through April 30th 2017 as we celebrate the 100th
Anniversary of the Michigan State Police Department. By making contact with W8P

17775, April 20 at 1919, once again KVOH is on later than scheduled 1900*; must
be quite flexible, and we continue to wonder if extensions are caused by late
starts after *1400 when we never hear it any more, but maybe just because the
MUF can`t build up that high that soon after sunrise. Now amid supplications, a
very public prayer performance by the #1 Spanish gospel huxter heard on station,
replete with keywords, like ``padre`` every few seconds, etc., etc., believing
that his god as projected, must be utterly craving of constant praise, and maybe
with that will come thru with what the preacher thinx he merits (Glenn Hauser,
