** CHINA [and non]. 13070 & 12880, June 3 at 1358, CNR1 jammers with song, about to go off.
From 1433 June 3, a bunch more for this hour, some with // audio, others carriers only and presumed: 13160 S4-S8, 12820, 12800, 12190.
At 1437, 11580, 11460, 11440, 11170, 11150, 11100, 11070 S9-S6, 10920, 10870, 10820, 10160, 10040, 9060;
At 1452, 11775 // 11070, 11900;
At 1455, 12210, 12450?
11370, June 3 at 1439, JBA carrier presumed rather new local mix of 1390 KCRC + 9980 WWCR TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 12030, Wed June 3 at 2200-2230, REE English monitored for convenience via UTwente SDR, much better there than 9690: second program in revived series is nothing but Allison Hughes narrating, with some musical relief, a detailed review of how the pandemic has affected Spain, finished just in time, ``hasta pronto`` for the 2230 timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2036 monitoring: confirmed Wed June 3 from 2100:20 on WBCQ 7490v, VP. Next, and last repeat:
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

New WOR 2037 should be ready by early UT Friday June 5 for first WRMI broadcast at 2200 on 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9955, June 3 at 2051, 9955 WRMI is already on instead of *2100, with screaming gospel huxter, Blalock the Blaster as the `Full Gospel Hour` [sic] is now scheduled M-F at *2030.
15770, June 3 at 2057, on WRMI good signal, Bob Biermann musing, upwrapping HIS `Your Weekend Show` as far as you can get from a weekend, on Wednesday! So much for R. Tirana relay at 2030: in fact, I see on the skedgrid that it and preceding Prague at 2000 are now relegated to Mon & Tue only, obviously dispensable for other programming the rest of week. 2100 into TOMBS.
7780, June 3 at 2100, no signal detectable from WRMI-1, off? JBA carriers are on lower 5950 & 5800.
9395, June 3 at 2102, WRMI relay of RAE in Italian as scheduled, but will it be octolingual by hourend? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Correxion: of the three 1270 stations, one of them is non-direxional, KSCB, fixed:
1270, June 2 at 2014 UT, in full daytime conditions, KRXO Claremore (Tulsa) OK silly sports talk at 5 kW with heavy SAH of exactly 1 Hz from another groundwaver: got to be either 50 kW KFLC from Benbrook (Metroplex) TX with Spanish sports talk; or 5 kW KSCB Liberal KS talk/sport. KRXO and KFLC direxional to complicate. Need to DF and/or pull a language.
Which I undertake 24+ hours later, June 3 at 2039 UT; on the same setup, R75 and E-W longwire, now the subaudible heterodyne is only 47/minute or 0.78 Hz, so one or both must vary over time.
Then at 2045, I try the DX-398 portable outside, which has good sensitivity and nulling: The main SAH peaks ESE/WNW, i.e. Claremore and Liberal which are a few degrees from colinear, opposite direxions thru Enid. At 2048, I count the SAH at 50/minute = 0.83 Hz --- really varying, or margin of error?
But almost-nulling those, favoring SSW, I hear another weaker beat, of 154/minute = 2.57 Hz, and that has to be from KFLC in TX, against one of the others.
Next at 2053 I try the NRD-545 with E-W magloop. This pulls in two audios, both English AFAICT, and the beat is 49/minute = 0.82 Hz.
I cannot measure frequencies to fraxions of Hz, but only *compare* those which are not zero-beat --- and lax engineering of US stations insures that is: most of them.
Two of these stations make mwoffsets list, only a year or two old:
1270 1269.9985 USA KRXO (Claremore, OK) 2018-12-01
1270 1270.0006 USA KFLC (Fort Worth, TX) 2019-01-03
That means the SAH between them would be 2.1 Hz, not too far from my current reading.
Distances, city-to-Enid city:
Claremore OK 203 km = 126 stmi
Liberal KS 281 km = 174 stmi
Benbrook TX 415 km = 258 stmi
Ground conductivity is mostly 30 over this part of OK, the greatest to be found anywhere overland, maybe into 15 by BB TX. Tulsa itself may be 15, but only 8 in a small area west of Tulsa between us --- 8 is the same poor figure as across the MO/AR Ozarx.
Direxionality: 5 kW KRXO favors ENE/WSW with minor lobe at right angle, but Enid appears to be close to a notch between them. 50 kW KFLC aims major lobe to the east but fairly broad with some daytime signal thisaway; 5 kW KSCB non-direxional.
This is an example of *pure DXing* as we have no interest whatsoever in these stations` stupid sportstalk programming, whatever the language. And no ionosphere required! (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9025, June 3 at 1445, open carrier (WOOB CNR1 jammers are always(?) on -0 frequencies) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 10930 approx., June 3 at 1444, local noise blob outlier, along with stronger usual peak areas in 9-11 MHz span (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13131.31, June 3 at 1400, very weak ``puta madre`` 2-way in Spanish; must have a fine sense of symmetry (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
