** BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, July 23 at 1200, must be NBC, best signal here in a long
time, S9 fading to S6 with rock song; 1201 YL & OM converse for a while, not
like news, unseems Indonesian, but not English either, so Pidgin. 1206 song,
1210 YL announcement maybe English; 1216 rock with heavy beat, 1224 a familiar
tune at last.
Initially it`s the SSOB; ignoring Korean outliers on 2850
& 3480, virtually the OSOB except for JBA carrier on 3260, Madang. 3325
rates SINPO 25432. It`s diminishing by 1224, and at 1230, S7 to S5; 1252
recheck, only a JBA carrier is left on 3325.
Never any sign of RRI
Palangkaraya co-channel, altho Atsunori Ishida says it has been active every day
thru July 22 until 1700v*. RRI is much further from here and always likely to be
weaker if at all. Both nominally 10 kW per WRTH. RRI should switch to a nearby
clear frequency like 3355 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

BRAZIL. 11815.033, July 23 at 0529, poor signal with music, Rádio Brasil
Central, but really stands out with hardly anything else propagating on 25m. I
look for other ZYs and find only 11934.938 also with music, Rádio Evangelizar.
On 31m, only 9819, 9675, 9665, 9630, not measured precisely (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** MEXICO. 650, July 23 at 1120, Mexican music from
XETNT, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, the major lowband signal holding up as Enid sunrise
1131 is nigh. 1128 full ID as Radio 65, Radio Viva, noticias Altavoz.com, and
into choral NA at this odd time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 740, Sunday July 23 at 1140 UT, distracted from SRS
DXing by an interview on KRMG rather than far-right talkshows; with conductor of
an orchestra about their upcoming 10-concert 2017-2018 season, seems like it`s
quite creative. Some time references imply however this was recorded circa last
February. I figure it`s the Tulsa Symphony --- but no, wrapping up at 1156 UT
with Andrés Franco, conductor of the Signature Symphony, of which I had never
heard, http://www.signaturesymphony.org
on the program `Oklahoma Perspective`. Season theme is ``"From the
Heartland: Tulsa Music Connections" as explained:
Quite
affordable too, individual tickets $12, season $60. Makes me wish I were much
closer to Tulsa.
The S.S. is part of Tulsa Community College. This motto
appears twice on website: ``Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas
eget quam.`` It looks like Latin, but maybe it`s nonsense? Google can`t
translate it all. In segments, comes up with ``just hate tomorrow, protein and
antioxidants in poverty and need`` --- huhhh???
Tulsa Symphony, OTOH,
emphasizes that it`s ``professional``, now in its twelfth season following the
demise of the Tulsa Philharmonic.
It`s also
broadcast on KWTU 88.7, the only one pending on current schedule: ``September
10, 4-6 pm [CDT Sunday = 21-23 UT], Classics Series: The Firebird, Symphony
No.90 (Haydn), Hary Janos Suite (Kodaly), The Firebird Suite (Stravinsky)``

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, July 23
at 1206, SIBC must be off already, no signal in quick check amid 3325
Bougainville monitoring (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN.
17855, Sunday July 23 at 1400, REE is still missing for the second day from its
North American frequency, while 17715, 230 degrees to South America, is poorly
audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
