** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sept 18 at 1508, another Saturday broadcast succeeds from LRA36, good S5-S7 via Brasil SDR: at first I camp on somebody in Pittsburgh, at 1525 from queue get on it myself. Usual stuff: song at first, 1509 ID for original Wednesday program outro with credits, as if off until next Wednesday with `El Lejano Sur`, 1510 Antártida song, 1514 more music; 1544 ``sign-on`` with multi-lingual ID including English to inform us that this is in Spanish. The last language continues to confound: it seems to begin with ``Govorit``, obviously Russian, but ends with ``imnida``, obviously Korean. 1548 Antda song again, YL sign-on with current temps: max -7 C, min -12 C - not too bad; has been colder than that here. Bit of ``Blanco, blanco y más blanco`` tune, historical item about a flight to the South Pole on Sept. 19, 1974; 1625 still, mostly songs; 1649 check, it`s gone already (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6975-USB, Sept 19 at 0008, strong pirate must have just come on, big band music, 0011 Wolverine Radio ID. HFU already reports songs with ``Out`` in their titles. https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,86541.0.html
6960-AM, Sept 19 at 0009, JBA pirate, S3-S4. HFU says WTF Radio Worldwide: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,86538.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, Sept 18 at 0603 UT tune-in just as ID comes from ``KLEY, 1130-AM and 100.3 FM, Wellington`` Kansas, atop the channel with its ``one watt`` night power, really 250 W day power, but considerable QRM from KWKH et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) more below
** U S A. `DX-pedition` about 30 km north of Enid on US 81/64/60, checking AM & FM for anything unusual away from the noise and overload of the city, on caradio, Sept 18, 1752-1850 UT:
630, Sept 18 at 1755 UT, JBA football? and ad/promo mentioning ``Kay-how``: KHOW Denver CO on daytime groundwave; 5 kW, weaker than regular 50 kW 670 KLTT; but 560, 5 kW KLZ not heard with less favorable N/S pattern even tho KWTO MO makes it not either. 850 has JBA signal, could be KOA or KJON TX. Meanwhile nothing from Chicago 670 or 720 which on a good very quiet day can reach here.
1370, Sept 18 at 1752 UT, environmental PSAs, one for earthshare.org. Must be KGNO Dodge City KS at full power now, which I can`t get inside Enid, with desensitization from 1390 KCRC.
1550, Sept 18 at 1753 UT, still can`t confirm KKLE Winfield KS, despite being this much closer to it; JBA signal with sports? presumably KYAL Sapulpa OK. But there is also some CCI, probably KDCC Dodge City KS rather than KMAD Madill OK. Meanwhile sibling to KKLE, 1130 KLEY Wellington KS is still modulating rock loud and clear.
94.3, Sept 18 circa 1830 UT, Enid KLGB-LP is far enough away to be getting some CCI, surely KCVW Kingman KS, 100/100 kW, west of Wichita halfway to Pratt on US 54, a Bott gospel huxter while KLGB is mostly gospel rock. As we pass by it on US81 back into Enid, KLGB overrides many other FM frequencies for a few blox.
100.1, Sept 18 at 1806 UT, ending ONN news, but signal has been alternating with weaker CCI, just like an Esporadic opening, except there isn`t any. And the car is parked immobile. It`s just the turbulent troposphere. Main one soon IDs as ``100.1 KWFX`` and into country music. The CCI may be a stupid ballgame, as Saturday afternoon is full of FB even on non-sports stations breaking music or other talk formats. No likely peripheral fully desportive stations. What could the CCI be? No significant Kansans. In OK, closest KYFM Bartlesville, AC format 25/25 kW; or never logged KYKC Byng - near Ada, country, 50/50 kW. Also translators in Edmond, Chickasha.
1817, fuller ID ``100,000 watts of Spirit Country, 100.1 KWFX``, i.e. omitted CoL, Woodward OK. This too is tough inside Enid with local LPFM on 99.9; and so is 101.1 KWOX Woodward with KGWA translator on 100.9 --- no longer mislisted as silent in the WTFDA FM DB.
But here`s another mistake:
``K262CQ KLEY-1130 100.1 WELLINGTON KS USA ADULT CONTEMPORARY 100.3 THE WAVE 0.25 0.25 0.0 0.0 37-14-28 97-24-04`` ! This 100.3 station which relates to the reactivated 1130 is axually filed under 100.1, not 100.3! The channel 262 callsign also goes with 100.3, not with 100.1 like another translator which is a `261. Remotely possible is a frequency change in progress, without being re-called yet. As for the 0.0 and 0.0 meter antenna heights, not really on the ground, but unknown HAAT default all too frequently displayed.
102.9, Sept 18 at 1822 UT, ``Country 102.9``, mother DJ says she brings daughter to work, refers to ``Hutch`` which I guess is localese for Hutchinson KS, but also to callsign KHUT, 99/99 kW. Another one blocked inside Enid, by local 103.1 KOFM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 18 at 0606-0610 UT, not in the order tuned: 684, 711, 774(2), 846, 882, 1098, 1107, 1125, 1305, 1413, 1503(2) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
