** INDONESIA. 9525-, April 24 at 1423 check, VOI absent again today, no carrier
detectable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 11985,
April 24 at 2029, S9-S6 open carrier, 2030 NHK World R. Japon opening in French
via MADAGASCAR. At least something is making it thru with rather dismal
propagation conditions, marred further here by my line noise problem (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 91.1 FM, April 24
at 1717 UT check, KKRD Enid, 200-watt station, is still off the air as first
noted three days ago following a storm. Still off April 25. Its antenna is on
the Broadway Tower in downtown Enid. Once a respected office building, new
owners got it for a song and were trying to convert it into a hotel, but now
it`s decrepit, with both elevators padlocked! Maybe no one wants to climb the
stairs (14? floors) to restart the transmitter? Part of the external facing
cracked off last year, and just recently there was a fire in a transformer just
outside the building.
This opens 91.1 for 100 kW stations in Wichita KS,
KCFN, with AFR, and in Lawton OK, KJRF, another gospel huxter, but not heard
yet, both in 100+ mile range. And much to be preferred, 100 kW High Plains
Public Radio, KANZ Garden City KS, but just too far on internal
antennas.
90.9, KOKF Edmond OK is still on with Air One contemporary
Christian music, rather than the talk show I logged before, 1717 UT April
24.
89.1, K206CA, Enid, Oasis Network translator of 90.5 KNYD (or really
88.1 KMSI??) has been restored after running dead air at last
check.
92.1, KAMG-LP, Enid remains off the air as of April 25. Last heard
carrier on March 10, no modulation for a long time before then. WTFDA DB now
shows its horizontal and vertical powers both as 0.0 kW, certainly
appropriate.
104.7, KQSN, Ponca City, April 24 at 1903 UT, ID as ``KQSN,
Ponca City, Sunny 104.7`` and *one* minute of Fox News until 1904 resuming
music.
105.5, K288FX, North Enid, K-love translator of KYLV 88.9, is
still off the air April 25, as first noticed April 21 after storms (it`s really
in East Enid).
105.7, KRDR Alva, 50 kW now easily heard with 105.5 local
off, is no longer ESPN, but hard rock/rap, April 24 at 1900 UT, ``We are The
Pulse. . .`` and K-calls not copied. April 25 at 1546 UT: ``The Pulse, 105.7
FM``
WTFDA DB identifies it with sibling? station: ``COYOTE COUNTRY 98.3
KQZQ``. Radio-locator shows: ``KRDR-FM 105.7 MHz Alva, Oklahoma "ESPN Radio
105.7" Format: Sports Website: none``
But google search leads to
this:
which has
nothing but current sports news on it
Also to this FB, but nothing new
since June 2016:
We
would much prefer to hear on 105.7, KROU Spencer, public radio relay of KGOU
Norman, but it`s only 1.6 kW, and can`t overcome KRDR until about Kingfisher on
US 81 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
