** CHINA. 18930, June 1 at 1346, CNR1 jammer with fair signal, quite a find
after no OOB jammers heard from 10 to 18 MHz. 18930 chex as the RFA Tibetan via
Kuwait frequency at 11-12 & 13-14 on Mondays (and 12-13 on Sundays)(Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 930, June 1 at 0454 I start
monitoring this frequency intensively, as WKY OKC has been off the air since at
least early afternoon. I have previously been able to log several stations
despite it by tight nulling (and it was on slightly reduced power for a while),
but now that`s not necessary. At first I am mainly getting a weak but steady
signal with Spanish music and wonder if that could be WKY on much reduced power
as its initial comeback? But this música is romántica, far from the lively stuff
WKY normally plays and loops about SSW, not SSE. No, it`s México, as 0459 segué
with no ID to choral national anthem. Likewise no ID right after it, just ``son
las 12 con 2 minutos`` and back to romx. Some QRM like NW/SE in English, which
would be another good catch.
Finally 0507 canned full (?) ID so
over-produced that I can`t understand it! It includes beeping if not code SFX.
At 0523 recheck, this signal has faded out leaving a weak mix of US stations.
0537 fades in again with XE music; I doze along and at 0602 finally catch a
partial ID as ``---- Radio, 90.3 FM``, so that means it`s one of my two main
suspects listed: XEQS, Fresnillo, Zacatecas, which on FM is XHQS 90.3, ``Romance
en Radio, Romántica`` per IRCA Mexican Log (rather than closer XESHT Saltillo,
Coahuila, with FM on 102.5). XEQS is 10/3 kW, three sources agree; city-to-city
distance 1548 km = 962 statute miles (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** OKLAHOMA. 930, May 31 at 1950 UT on caradio at the cemetery,
north side of Enid, WKY OKC is off!!! No longer Indomable, very unusual. Fairly
quiet location but some powerline noise from edge of property. At midday I can`t
hear anything else on 930, but only in this absence of WKY can I hear
spikes/splatter so far away from nearby local 960 KGWA. It does open up 920 for
presumed KLMR CO; see USA. I should have spent the evening DXing 930, but did
not get around to it until 0454 UT June 1 when WKY was still off. See MEXICO.
Rerechecked at 1510 UT June 1, now WKY is back on. Nothing seen on homepage
about an outage
http://www.laindomable.com/
and the
latest Facebook entry was May 30, https://www.facebook.com/laindomableok
BTW, the not very detailed ``full schedule``
http://www.laindomable.com/common/more.php?m=10&mode=schedule&r=1
shows
large blox of ``Indo Music`` --- what`s that, really, rather than just a play on
its slogan? hardly Indonesian, including all weekend from 8 pm Friday to 6 am
Monday [0100 / 1100 UT], and not showing the token pubaffs show en inglés
Sundays at 7 am CT, which I have not reconfirmed lately but likely still exists.
WKY also will not turn down a commercial in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** OKLAHOMA. 1120, May 31 at 2012 UT check, KEOR/KETU
is still off from Sperry. Last date heard with any modulation and carrier was
May 13 as in DXLD 15-19. I expect to mention it no further until/unless there is
at least a carrier. Altho unscrambling which call is really in effect would be
nice (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1560, May 31
at 2013 UT, bandscan on caradio finds dead air from KEBC Del City. No one is
paying attention on a Sunday afternoon (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 11990, June 1 at 1349, VOA Korean with usual
bigsig here prolonging the 21-degree beam; but considerably
overmodulated/distorted while starting `English with You` language lesson, tsk2.
At least one of the Tinang transmitters goes out of whack like this periodically
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 17855, May 31 at
1828, no signal from REE in this sporadic North American service, unQRMing weak
17850 France which otherwise should never have chosen to go adjacent to Spain on
a mostly-vacant band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.

** U S A. 9370, May 31 at 1826, WWRB BS
is off, no signal, while neighbors 9475 WTWW and 9980 WWCR are on and audible,
virtually the only daytime signals on band overcoming noise levels, the SSOBs if
not the OSOBs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 750, June
1 at 0607 UT, Spanish music and talk atop WSB and hardly nullable, i.e. opposite
KAMA El Paso, still blasting away eastward instead of protecting WSB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 920, May 31 at 1950 UT on
caradio in absence of 930 WKY, very weak signal unobscured here with music,
2000-2007 UT talk with some fading, but can`t make out anything definite.
Presumed 5 kW ND KLMR Lamar CO, our nearest at 460 km = 286 stmi, city-to-city.
Little Rock is a bit further and never makes it on groundwave, also direxionally
unfavorable, and may be on reduced power. KYFR in Shenandoah IA dominates 920 at
night with a 2.5 kW lobe this way; 5 kW day lobe is a bit more due south from
there, and distance is 533 km/331 stmi (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 580, June 1 at 0616 UT, Mexican music under much
stronger WIBW Topeka talk; can`t really null either, like the case with XEMU
opposite in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, but which has been reported migrated to
FM-only. Still trying to get an ID on this. If not still XEMU, the other Mexican
closest to the same direxion beyond there is XEAV Guadalajara. Chihuahua or
Sonora might be more likely but off the DF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
