** BRAZIL. 6180 & 11780, March 31 at 2253 check, it`s
twelfth-night at RNA/RNB of no emanations, likewise later into UT April 1. So
can anyone explain what the situation is? Transformers broke down again
dispowering Parque Rodeador? Or decision to turn it off forever? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA [non]. 5910, April 1 at 5910,
Alcaraván Radio is still AWOL like last night, and I think so is Conciencia from
6010, where there is only a JBA carrier, too weak even for it, on 6009.93, which
is probably Brasil. Both of them vary considerably above and below 6010 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025, April 1 at 0427, R.
Rebelde is S9+45 of open carrier except for some noise; by 0502 modulating
distortedly, and a 2+1 prolonged bong timesignal ending at 0501:46, but only 46
seconds late since the time check is for ``la una y una de la mañana``. Since
5040 RHC is still on, leapfrog mixing products at S9 level come along with them,
on 5010 where some RHC Spanish is audible, and 5055, nothing much at
0427.
5040, April 1 at 0503, RHC is still on but restarting 3-hour
Spanish block instead of usual English! Iniciando esta revista giving times for
it as 02-05 TUC, and as 8-11 pm local?? Should be 10 pm to 1 am EDT, with no
intentional Spanish on SW after 0500. The playback is no doubt regular on the
webcast and maybe FM. The four 49m channels are correctly in English (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. [Correcting previous log:]
13740, March 30 at 2101, finally catch an RHC frequency announcement in Spanish,
opening the multi-target tarde program, in typical Soviet-style disorder: 13740,
11670, 11760, 11840, 9535, 9710, 5040. Those seem about correct tho I don`t have
a chance to confirm each one right now as I`m mobile (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUINEA. 9650, March 31 at 2250, S9 of dead air,
surely RTG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA.
UNIDENTIFIED, 6960.1-USB, April 1 at 0615, something in SSB here with talk, bits
of music, so presumably pirate. First stopped at 6961.75 but hard to clarify,
tuning up and down with no carrier to lock onto, then sounds best at 6960.1,
stops at 0619*. Nothing reported around here on HF Underground or Free Radio
Café (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 930, UT
Saturday April 1 at 0453 UT, Spanish here is still WKY, but it`s sports talk,
not music! Long string of promos, jingles from ESPN Deportes, national feed
giving times in Pacific and Eastern, and who cares about the Great Center of
America, let alone the Mountains?? During otherwise Spanish, the letters ESPN
are always pronounced in English to avoid invoking images of penises, altho such
a macho connexion would seem to be apt. How much coverage of women`s sports is
there, anyway?
0457 UT local ads including a Dodge dealer in Midwest
City, Goodwill Industries (in Spanish they should say benevolencia or buena
voluntad); PSAs for how to impress girls, drunk driving. I keep listening for
the ToH ID at 0500 UT, which says ``WKY, Oklahoma City, 930AM, WKY``. The call
letters are pronounced in English, altho they don`t have to be (but doble-ve ka
i griega is a bit more cumbersome, less so doble-u ka ye).
No mention of
``La Indomable`` which has been its brand for eight+ years already, and back to
ESPND. Recheck at 1435 UT, still Spanish sports talk, no
music!
Radio-locator.com still has its format as ``Regional Mexican``,
i.e. frenetic oom-pah-pah music, a staple on our dials for years. The website
still exists under the old name
http://www.laindomable.com/
but all
the Noticias on the homepage are about sports, notably including European soccer
games. How much of an audience in OK is there for that, in Spanish to boot?? But
it still plugs at least one DJ program, outdated? `El Show de Mandril`, L-V 7-12
am (meaning before noon?). Will have to wait until April 3 morning to confirm
whether that still exist. I suspect not, as radio stations have this
all-or-nothing mentality about formatting. Or is this a bad joke for April
1?
Newspaper ad from November, 2014, DJs presumably jobless now:
http://www.w4uvh.net/WKY930AM-ad.jpg
Their
nicknames meant Roadrunner, the Little Doll, the International.
If you
search on ESPN Deportes you get stuff about the cable TV channel, finally
leading to this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESPN_Deportes_Radio
which
shows affiliates in only 18 states, of course not including Oclajoma. It links
to website
http://espndeportes.espn.com/radio/index
which
turns out to be a File Not Found. Grrr.
Also nothing recent in
radioinsight or radiodiscussions concerning WKY
DXLD archives: see
http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld9004.txt
at
the beginning of 2009y for reports on when La Indomable started, after some
shorter-lived format attempts on 930. Refers to ESPND being on KINB 105.3,
apparently a related station, so what`s on 105.3 now? Sports talk in English, at
1518 UT April 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and
non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1871 monitoring: confirmed Friday March 31 at 2240, the
2230 broadcast on WRMI 11580, good S9 vs S6 local line noise; // 5950 JBA at S7,
by 2255 improved to poor S9. But not // 6855 which is now Oldies music // 9395.
Also confirmed Fri March 31 at 2345, the 2330 broadcast on WBCAQ,
9329.275v-CUSB, fair S8. NOT confirmed Saturday April 1 at 1440-1500 UT UTwente
SDR on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB --- just a very weak signal with other
talk and music, presumably CRI via East Turkistan in Sinhala. 1500 slightly
stronger CRI starts with timesignal, CRI theme. But, I suppose WOR on HLR was
on, just not propagating better to Holland than East Turkistan. I wonder how the
previous airing on HLR 6190 Saturday shifted to 0630 is doing? No report yet
from Ivo on that. Next:

** U S A [and non]. 9955, Friday March 31 at 2252, soft jazz
music, *2254 pulse jamming on and starting to ramp up for Radio Libertad at
2300; 2255 Keith Perron with patreon plug, same PCJ show (Happy Station itself?)
as heard earlier on WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, April 1, at
1159-1202 UT: 774, 693, 594, 828, 1314, all seem from NW but extremely weak
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7382.50-USB, April
1 at 0440, 2-way in choppy language, but seem to be some French words involved
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
