** U S A [and non]. A very big sporadic E opening into FM on June
30; in fact, four different areas coming in, even at the same time. The primary
opening is Arizona and vicinity, which is relatively close, well under 1000
miles. The mid-point for this area is north-central New Mexico, roughly the
triangle from Albuquerque to Chama to Clayton. I wonder if there were T-storms
in the area or something else anomalous which could explain the E layer getting
sporadic? RDS readouts, never scrolling, 8-character fields separated here by /
and blank spaces as _ if copied as such. Due to fading, RDS may be incomplete,
out of order, or even a mixture of more than one station, copied as well as I
could. RDS? means icon attempting to appear, flashing but no decode. Quotation

UT:
90.7, at 1752, first noticed on caradio a relatively open frequency
here, something in Spanish, but QRM from English. By 1756, I quickly set up my
usual FM DX monitoring post on the south-facing porch nearly at ground level, in
the 93-degree shade, using the PL-880 and DX-398, each with their plusses and
minus, but both with quickly manipulable whip antennas, as there is lots of CCI,
from DX as well as from groundwave OK-area stations.
At 1756, 90.7 has an
ad in pesos, confirming it`s unAmerican; 1757 mentions Calle 8 so briefly wonder
if I really have a south Floridian? RDS says / LOS 40 / not with PRINCIPALES any
more. Soon mentions ``tarjeta40.com``, and briefly CCI from a second SS on 90.7!
adstring, 1759 mentions ``Colonia Santa María`` and, here we go, ``Volkswagen
Mexicali``, 1800 ``Los40.com.mx`` and ``Comunidad 40``.
There are 18
Mexicans on 90.7, only two of them LOS 40, the other being XHTCP-FM in Tehuacan,
Puebla. But this one is definitely:

As for the other SS on 90.7, if it too be Mexican, the
closest ones to Mexicali are three in Sonora: XHEZ-FM in Heróica Caborca,
further XHLDC-FM, Magdalena de Kino, a bit further still, XHHLL-FM in Cerro
Bachoco.

at 2006 on caradio, TC for 2:06, `Afternoon Blend` on KSUT, and weather. No linx
from homepage to any station list, not even frequency of flagship station!
Fortunately has search window, so I enter 88.1:
Where to
Tune In
KSUT's two formats, Four Corners Public Radio and Tribal Radio,
serve more than 14 communities in four states.
Four Corners Public
Radio:
90.1 FM - Durango & La Plata County
89.3 FM - Central
Durango
88.1 FM - Farmington & northwest New Mexico
88.1 FM - Pagosa
Springs
106.3 FM - Cortez, Mancos & Montezuma County
91.9 FM - Dolores
**CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES**
91.1 FM - Silverton
Worldwide - www.ksut.org and on iTunes Radio.
Southern
Ute Tribal Radio:
91.3 FM - Ignacio, Southern Ute and Jicarilla Apache tribal
lands
89.7 FM - Farmington, northwest New Mexico and Navajo tribal
lands
So KSUT has two on 88.1:
{KPGS, 88.1, PAGOSA SPRINGS CO, 1.0 kW
Vertical only, 416.0 m HAAT, 37-11-48, 107-07-01, HD, FOUR CORNERS PUBLIC RADIO,
NEWS/AAA/JAZZ} and
{KUSW, 88.1, FLORA VISTA NM, 4.1 kW Vertical only, 202.0 m
HAAT, 36-40-16, 108-13-54, HD, FOUR CORNERS PUBLIC RADIO, NEWS/ETHNIC}
I
have to prefer the one in NM, which is a little further, skippier, between
Farmington and Aztec. 912 km = 567 stmi, close!
That`s it for now as I
rest, recuperate and restaurant, also a few hours after I get back, and may well
have missed some more openings.
Now it`s UT July 1 as it`s back to the
dials.
89.9, at 0058, praise music, at 0100, 3-station ID including
``90.5 in Fredericksburg``, 89.9 [somewhere], and some HD in Richmond, ``Your
Egangelism, TEB(?)``. Ergo I must have Virginia, a reversal from all the western
stuff earlier in the afternoon. Here we are: {WPER, // WJYJ, 89.9, CULPEPER VA,
41.0 kW H&V, 127.0 m HAAT, 38-40-42, 77-47-18, VIRGINIA'S POSITIVE HITS,
CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN} Since WJYH is the one in Fredericksburg on 90.5. Nothing
else IDed from east today! 1769 km = 1099 stmi
89.9, at 0103, now two or
three stations here, a sermon, and a raffle promo, mentions Idaho, calendar of
events including Nampa: {KRBX, 89.9, CALDWELL ID, 7.9 kW H&V, 285.0 m HAAT,
43-37-15, 117-12-35, RADIO BOISE 89.9, VARIETY} Rather than one of the 5 other
IDs on 89.9, especially KAWZ Twin Falls. Caldwell: 1790 km = 1112
stmi
88.9, at 0105, news of Utah fires, but it`s part of NPR network
news; CCI; 0106 into ``Q on CBC Radio 1, SiriusXM and Public Radio
International``, gospel CCI. It`s not KNPR in Las Vegas NV, but Q is on this
station`s current sked: {KAWC-FM, 88.9, YUMA AZ, 2.4 kW H&V, 33.0 m HAAT,
32-41-23, 114-30-01, NEWS/TALK/CLASSICAL, Arizona Western College} However news
on the hour was supposed to be National Native News rather than NPR. And I do
get another Yuman shortly. 1588 km = 987 st mi
90.3, at 0109, ``La
Poderosa``, Spanish ads, for car service in ``Parral``, also mentions ``La
Lupe``. {XHGD-FM, 90.3, HIDALGO DEL PARRAL CHIH, 25.0 kW H&V, 49.21 m HAT,
26-55-22, 105-38-32, Spanish, LA PODEROSA + AM 700, SPANISH HITS BALADAS] 1285
km = 789 stmi. Separate Es patch from AZ
93.1, at 0120, open carrier
still here QRMing DX; suspect KHMY Pratt KS, ``My 93``, which has a marginal
groundwave here, 159 km = 99 stmi. Checking OK listings, I see the Enid
translator is still listed despite being off the air a couple? years: K226BR, of
gospel huxter KIMY 93.9 Watonga. It had severe tech problems before crashing. If
the license still exist, I wish some public radio station would get us a much
needed translator: KGOU, KUCO or even KCCU! There is another OK 93.1 in Red Oak
which I have never heard nor heard of: KWLB with 19.5 kW. Red Oak pop. 549 in
2010y is in SE OK, between Wilburton and Wister, not even indexed in ordinary
Rand McNally atlas.
93.1, at 0120, vs open carrier above, iHeart Radio
app promo, Jack-in-the-Box ad, ``mountain traffic`` concerning I-15, Southbound
at Charleston; fade-out. That means yet another from Las Vegas NV: {KYMT, 93.1,
LAS VEGAS NV, 24.0 kW H&V, 1141.0 m HAAT, 35-58-02, 115-30-06, HD, 18CF, -,
93.1 THE MOUNTIAN, ADULT HITS} 1547 km = 961 stmi
94.1, at 0123, baseball
game, CCI from ad for Kohl`s (sp?); ACI from 94.3 local KLGB-LP modulation
spikes. Suspect one of them is also Las Vegas as per previous log at 1958 June
30 with Peter Piper Pizza, i.e. KMXB, Henderson; but I see nothing about sports
on their website, http://mix941fm.cbslocal.com
90.7,
at 0129, ``Cinemax presenta Película 40``; 0133, Aeropostal ad ``próximamente en
Mexicali``; also at 0129, CCI from CPB credit in English, then soul music. The
Spanish brings me full circle to the
first DX I encountered at 1752 UT June
30: {XHMOE-FM, 90.7, MEXICALI BC, 100.0 kW H&V, HAAT unknown, 32-36-41,
115-29-39, Spanish, LOS 40, SPANISH HITS} 1633 km = 1033 stmi
93.1, at
0133, Home Depot ad fading in and out vs the dead-air station which soon
overtakes it; MUF is falling and I QRT at 0136! (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX
