** ARGENTINA. 11710.69, Oct 9 at 0050, RAE measured here as it varies
slightly, never to 11710.0 or 11711.0. Recheck at 0212 to confirm it`s in
French, despite someone reporting English during this hour, which was swapped
several months ago with French ex-03 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9664.93, Oct 9 at 0041, R. Voz Missionária is drifting
off-frequency again after being reported on 9665.0; fair signal in Brazuguese
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. Correcting
third frequency mentioned: 9580, not 9850! --- 9470, Sept 30 at 0135, CRI
English with stox, even NASDAQ, and running about two words behind 9570 ALBANIA,
two words ahead of 9580 CUBA relays. So it must be between Albania and Cuba? No,
Kashgar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT [and non].
9964.98, Oct 9 at 0037, JBA carrier, I guess it`s Cairo in Arabic, while
inaudible on 9315, 11935 (except bit o` Brasil, off-frequency) or 12070; QRM
from USB 2-way on the hi side, 9965.75 approx., sounds Brazilian (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9511.22v, Oct 9 at 0041, very poor
carrier here and it`s wobbling; nothing on 9510.0, so no doubt VIRI Zahedan`s
unstable transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA.
780, Oct 9 at 0117 UT, KSPI Stillwater, 250 Watt daytimer has left its carrier
on again way past official FCC October sunset of 0000 UT (Nov & Dec: 2315
UT). I can hear WBBM IL and KCEG CO mixing underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Oct 9 at 0056, JBA carrier from R. Chaski until autocutoff
at 0106:56.5*, which is 32.5 seconds later than last check Oct 4 until 0106:24*,
average slippage 6.5 seconds later per diem (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 9954.97 approx., Oct 9 at 0030, Bruce Baskin
on WRMI with a sports promo, 0031 R. Prague relay in English. Most of WRMI`s
frequencies are closer to .00 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNING DIGEST)
**
U S A. 9474.95, Oct 9 at 0046, very poor signal from WTWW-1 with SFAW, not
realizing 9 MHz is too high after dark, and as always, off-frequency. A few
nights ago with propagation disturbance it was inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 620, Oct 9 at 0002 UT, ``North Texas, 620 AM,
KEXB, Experts in Business``, opening Tony B--- with `Job Search Solution` which
he initiates with a Christian prayer. That`s Salem for you. So the new call for
Plano TX facility 49320 starting Oct 1, ex-KMKI (Disney) from 12/21/1998,
ex-KAAM from 8/11/95, after it was hijacked from Wichita Falls as originally
KWFT, a station I listened to when it axually had programs and put me on the
mailing list for its schedules (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
U S A. 990, Oct 9 at 0006 UT, Charles Osgood selling insurance, ``AM 990 KWAM``
ID from Memphis TN, and `The Smith?Schmidt? Show`. I guess it had been `The
Osgood File`; altho he`s no Charles Kuralt, I am satisfied with Osgood as host
of CBS Sunday Morning (TV), but not when he ``sees you [sic] on the radio``,
i.e. `File`, a very brief CBS feature which seems like it is more than 50%
commercial. One day I`ll time it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1310, Oct 9 at 0008 UT, ``Madisonville`s ESPN Radio``,
and weather forecast. Which Madisonville? Not TX north of Huntsville, as on
1220v KMVL, but Kentucky 1310: WTTL, 1500/500 watts U2, between Hopkinsville and
Henderson in western KY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
1520, Oct 8 at 2357 UT, rock music over KOKC with silly HS ballgame, Moore vs
Owasso. As I expected, Oct 9 at 0000 UT announcement as a GME Studio program,
contact tellmydj@gmail.com and off with
no ID. Which means it`s KYND Cypress TX, which mainly (?) relays China Radio
International to Houston market. FCC shows 25 kW day, 18 kW Critical Hours, no
night, direxional with different constants. Rather it`s the same pattern merely
dropping power in a futile nod to lessen QRM to KOKC, during the first and last
bihour of its daytime, which indeed ends at 0000 UT in October (2330 UT in
November). Pattern is supposed to have a major lobe at 110 degrees, and
virtually nothing toward us or anywhere from south clockwise to northeast (we
are NNW). I don`t believe it! KYND close to the same direxion from here as KOKC,
and also a regular around sunrise, almost zero-beat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

UNIDENTIFIED. 730, Oct 9 at 0103 UT, a station in
English rather than Korean or Spanish, ad for something in Hattiesburg; but
unfortunately there is no 730 there or anywhere in Mississippi (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Re my 1080 log mentioning 105 FM:
Tho really KSLL on 1080, Price UT brands itself as ``KASL`` which is a bit
closer to ``Castle``. The real legal KASL is 1240 in Newcastle WY. ``Castle
Country`` -- maybe related. As of Feb 2013, the 1080 Price ``KASL`` was linked
to a 104.9:
Tnx
to Greg Hardison for finding this (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1700, Oct 9 at 0001 UT, amid pileup of stations,
one or two FM translator IDs in English and mention of 94.5. You guessed it ---
no known 94.5 corresponding to KBGG IA or KVNS TX or (Spanish) KKLF TX. Nor WEUP
AL. I can`t imagine this not being one of the above (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
