Glenn Hauser logs July 16-17, 2018

** CUBA. 5040, July 17 at 0549, RHC in wrong language, Spanish instead of English, S9+10 and undermodulated. English remains on 6000, suptorted and undermodulated, 6060 undermodulated; 6100 very poor signal; 6165, best and really the only good frequency now: something`s always wrong at RHC, but ¡viva la redundancia!

** OKLAHOMA. 88.7, July 16 at 1959 UT, KLVV Ponca City I happen to catch an ID asserting My Praise FM is also now on HD2 of KTST 101.9 The Twister, OKC. Strange bedfellows with a very commercial secular country station. At least I think it is: I never intentionally listen to either. The WTFDA FM Database does not include HD station info, beyond the fact that KTST does have something in HD = IBOC. So besides its other three relays in Enid, Goltry=Enid and Stillwater, KLVV sort of makes it into a sort of major market (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1938 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday July 17 after 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG. I`m a bit late in recording WOR 1939, so it`s not ready for Tuesday 2030, 2130 or 2330 – but little loss, since I have been unable to hear/confirm WRMI 5950 and/or 7780 during the first two, and WBCQ keeps on BSing at 2330. Ready for first airings July 18:

** U S A. 92.7, July 16 at 1758 UT, during another futile bandscan on caradio for sporadic E FM DX which is supposedly rampant around us, I check out this too-steady signal near hourtop: ``92.7 The ---, The Rhythm of River City``. River City is hardly an unique appellation, but I bet this one is nearby Wichita KS --- yes, almost correlates with this in WFTDA FM Database: ``KWME 92.7 WELLINGTON KS, 14 kW H&V, 130 m HAAT, 37-20-08, 97-27-53, 4B54, KWME, Oldies, RHYTHMIC OLDIES THE BLAST`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
