** ANTARCTICA. 15475.971, May 23 at 1324, JJBBA carrier from LRA36 on another active Thursday. All I am likely to get here, but one may hear some programming via closer remotes such as Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1983, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 13870, May 23 at 1329, CNR1 jammer S8-S4 vs RTTY, // CNR1 jammer on 11785. At 1336 searched 10.9-14.0 MHz for more of them, but none found; rather three just below 15.0:
14920, May 23 at 1336, CNR1 jammer strongest, // 11785 and also 9680 CNR1 jammers; 14900 and 14980, cannot make // so maybe really Sound of Hope. Or // but not synchronized. Aoki shows 13870, 14920 and 14900 as jammed SOH from Miaoli, Taiwan; 14900 as SOH relaying Radio Free Asia via Pingtung, Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Correxion: exact frequency on May 13 was 13739.239 (like other logs of it), not 13739.289, typo; fixed:
13739.239, May 13 at 1347, RHC S9+10 and auto-knocked off-frequency again today. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 12200, May 23 at 0615, RHC English at S6-S7, 2 x // 6100: MUF holding up; no harmonics from other 6 MHz channels, but two of them are OFF: 6000 and 6060, while 6165 is on but VP; also fighting high local noise level of S9 on 49m band. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1983, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 12000, May 23 at 1336, RHC Spanish is S7-S5 on 2 x 6000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760, May 23 at 2153, RHC dead air at S9+10 while weaker 11850 successfully Spanishes. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 17550-, May 22 at 2133, MOI is once again a JBA carrier slightly on the low side, yet achieving OSOB status. Not audible 24 hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, May 22 at 2136, RNZI audible S2-S3 with something about the Andes. Now getting into deep-winter conditions onto lower frequencies, ex-13840. Sked today shows: 2059-2258 11725, then from 2259 13840, which usually improves during the evening here, now running until 0459 for an hour on 9700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1983, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, May 23 at 0631 check, VON still absent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1983, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 92.1 WBFM, May 22 at 1830 UT on caradio, Spanish gospel huxter, so KAMG-LP Enid is back on the air after 21 months! There goes what would have been a prime frequency for the sporadic E DX season. Altho a strong opening could override this.
Continuous preaching with praise music background, mentions Coahuila several times, but phone 620-626-8282 for prayer petitions.
That would be KZQD-FM 105.1 in Liberal Kansas (not heard here, OK station blox) which radio-locator.com claims is Radio Liberdad [sic], in Spanish but not specifying gospel huxterism. WTFDA DB however says it is Spanish religious, Radio Libertad. So the source of KAMG-LP? But cannot be picking it up directly like a translator.
By 1900 UT in music only; 1902 ID in English as KAMG-LP, 92.1, Enid; and in Spanish as ``Radio Vivir, 24 horas al aire``.
Yes Vivir, the infinitive, ``to live``, not Viva or Vida, as confirmed by close listening May 23 at 0602 after praise music from 0557 UT tune-in; IDs a minute or two past top-of-hour, clock running slow? Then plugs and seems to intro same Liberal, Kansas predicator as 11 hours ago, but back to more praise songs.
WTFDA FM database does have it currently as 68 watts H and V of silence from a horizontal-only height of 37 meters
No mention of Maranatha which it was previously affiliated with as satellator: http://www.maranatharadio.com/stations now forwards to https://www.raybentley.com/ as Maranatha Radio with podcasts in English; stations include WRNO 7505 but no OK FM, and no times for any.
FCC and Radio-locator.com claim still owned by Maranatha Radio Corp. Far from its roots as a real local station, but FCC approved sale.
Previous KAMG-LP info as in DXLD: OFF as of 1/31/19, and before that as of 2/16/18Last logged ON, but distorted as of 8/25/17 in DXLD 17-35It was back after dead air for weeks, as of 8/20/17, in DXLD 17-34
Follow-up about ex-DXer John Broomall involvement, DXLD 17-30John Broomall involvement, Community Christian Broadcasters,discussion of FCC info listing address as 627 E Carrier Road, which I visited without finding it, only residences, in DXLD 17-27 -- which refers to earlier discussion in DXLD 13-41, q.v.
The original transmitter site I visited when first on the air is a couple miles further west on the other side of US 81/60/64 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 12030, Thu May 23 at 2157, REE music fill of that majestic bullfight theme, after presumed Arabic and not // 11940 & 9690; 2200 timesignal and `La Linterna Magica` about the cinema; podcast archive: http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/la-linterna-magica/ Not laterna; now all // (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1982 monitoring: a problem with both stations Wednesday May 22 at 2100: WRMI-10 is still having big problems on 9955: no signal before or after 2100, but I leave a receiver on 9954-USB to notify me if it come on: which it does at *2116, S8-S9 JIP WOR --- but cuts off again at 2124*. By 2130 it`s back on for Wavescan.
WBCQ 7490.17v: WOR poorly audible at 2104 --- but it`s the previous week`s 1981! With Ron`s Bhutan logs. 2129 music fill, and then, and then, at 2130 --- WOR 1981 repeated! starting with QSL for Antarctica. You may recall that last week, WBCQ did this: 2100 Goddess Irena, 2130 WOR 1981, swapping their previous times. If two WORs are to play in a row, please make it the penultimate, and then the ultimate. But who knows what may happen next week.

** U S A. 9955, May 23 at 1318, WRMI-10 is off again. Must be having serious problems, supposed to last until 1400; also came on for only 8 minutes of WORLD OF RADIO yesterday. 9395 on and easily audible as usual. 9955 was not always on the #10 transmitter, as shown on the current skedgrid. Perhaps they can change to another, but not alltransmitters can be connected to any of the antennas, and this one is supposed to stay at 160 degrees. #4 is currently off completely, maybe out of order too? It had been on 9455 at 160 degrees. Several other transmitters are much less than full-time and might be available (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5890, May 23 at 0620, WWCR dead air at S9+10; 5935 with PMS is OK, and 3215 with Brother Scare, but 4840 is also dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12050, May 23 at 1335, WEWN Spanish is distorted and splattering (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, May 23 at 1406, KVOH unusually propagating S9 already this early shortly after sign-on; but I don`t find any significant sporadic-E activity on 6m or 10m maps --- so the Es MUF could be as low as 18 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13152, May 23 at 1333, beeps = carrier cutting on and off, at slightly uneven rate of about 24x per minute (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17590, May 23 at 1409, something JBA, the OSOB except for 17775 KVOH. HFCC only lists Saudi Arabia in English at 1200-1500! But *any* English from there is surely imaginary. Possibly a special from Vatican Radio, which EiBi and Aoki show using 17590 at other times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
