Glenn Hauser logs June 28, July 1-2, 2022

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday July 2 from 1457 checking for LRA36 -- no signals into 4 Argentine nor 1 Uruguayan SDR, but I let the latter run until finally cuts on air S6/S8 at *1517 during music, 1520 canned sign-on, 1522 Antártida song. Switch back to LU4AA SDR which gets it even better, S3/S9, also much better than the other LUs. And I am the only User of this frequency. At 1526, info about Base Esperanza, temp range +8 to -30; winds 50 kph; 8 families overwinter at this base only; Station began in October 1979 as first SW station on the continent --- which is still a LIE, as AFAN 6012 started several years before. 1528 the `Sound of Silence` with new lyrix about Antca. 1532 YL says it`s program #9 of the 2022 season: how time flies, naming staff. 1536 contact info. 1541 This Week in History. 1545 ``Audaz`` ID with frequencies, ``Nacional, la radio pública``. 1546 song. 1549 acknowledge some email. 1552 interview a guy who has some background noise, like roaring surf? 1605 a song about Esperanza but maybe just hopeful not about the base. 1609 ID, about to give phone number? when chopped off the air; and never comes back as I let it play in background while I am mainly listening to `The Score`, cinemusic on KUCO. Not quite a full hour but this time managed a lot more than 18 minutes after sign-on Wednesday. Nor any OTH radar/jamming today. How about another try from 1800? Nothing at 1820 check into Montevideo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. Several FM DX stations from Manitoba and Saskatchewan are intermixed with US in chrono order June 28 under USA [and non]: on 94.3, 92.1, 96.5, 88.1, 91.5, 92.7, 102.3, 90.3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 7, July 2 at 1525 UT, no signal from `local` KOCO ``5`` OKC, the ABC affiliate, into my rooftop antenna as routed thru STB DTV converter to one screen, no to my other DTV set. 2118 recheck now there is a BAD signal not enough to decode via STB. Underpowered? Intermittent? *2123 suddenly appears, turned up power or off backup transmitter? Just as an unpredicted little pop-up storm approaches us from the SW suggesting we should unplug (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2145 monitoring: confirmed Friday July 1 from 1815.5 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 kHz but not on 918 or 207; S9+20 into nearby Noale SDR. But axual SW 7290 via Bulgaria never comes on from 1800.8! Temp or permanent drop? It`s back on next day Sat July 2 *1800.8 as usual JIP FSN.

Anyhow, earlier on 1323: tune-in 1756 with US political discussion, no idea what program, until chopped off at 1800 for IRRS ``SW`` sign-on, and right into Feature Story News including Spotlight. 1805 IRRS ID again, song. 1813 starts an interview from UN Radio, chopped off at 1815 already for IRRS ID and then WOR. Meanwhile there was a slow SAH on 1323, maybe with music, from another station, Romania propagating again? After WOR finished at 1845, music; 1852 `Country Jamboree` DJ talk, but now there is CCI from algo talking in English. 1900 a tone from one of them and IRRS` closing Verdi theme.

WOR 2145 also confirmed at 2030 on 1323 only, as Noale is offline, but S9+10/20 into Vinci/Parma SDR. The CCI could be this as just reported by Carlos Goncalves, Portugal: ``1323.0 2145-2155 01/7 G Smooth R, Brighton, 500 W. Songs. 25342 CG``

Also confirmed UT Saturday July 2 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR; also direct at 0151, noisy S9/+10.

Missed checking UT Sat July 2 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130; did anyone hear it?

Also confirmed Saturday July 2 at 1600 on WRN N America webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday July 2 after 1930 one next WRN to N America.

Also confirmed Saturday July 2 ending at 2006 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO, S9+9 steady into nearby Warrenton SDR, so started circa 1937.

Not confirmed Sat July 2 at 1948 on WRMI 15770 via Maryland SDR, instead classic rock, another show or fill music? Despite WOR still showing on the System B grid for 1930 Saturday on 15770, while the rest of the day and night, that applies to 9955. However, the System C grid shows Power of the Word Sat at 1930, certainly not what`s on now, tho I think it was last week; as WOR has not really aired Sat at 1930 for several weeks. Next:

For these noncommercial services, voluntary financial support is much appreciated; thanks this week to Terry Colgan, Austin, TX for a contribution via PayPal in US funds, but not necessarily, to woradio at yahoo.com and says, ``Thanks for your continuing dedication to the radio listening hobby. Best wishes for health and good DX``

One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat July 2 at 0052 I tune in WBCQ webcast since `AAAWWW` usually gets down to business about this far into the 0000+ show - but Allan is talking about just getting back on air after a power failure in the Fla studio. Unclear whether all the Maine transmitters stayed on in meantime, no SW checked here now nor earlier. Just getting into emails from far-right extremists they attract, on to prayer and off circa 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Huge Sporadic E FM DX opening June 28, in fact two of them overlapping for a while from opposite direxions: might have provided double hop if I were not between them. As usual, all heard with my own ears in real time on my own radio, no recordings, no internet access for stream // or anything, until extensive research following three days for this report. On stock Nissan 2004 caradio, no RDS, vertical fender antenna only so no manipulation for DFing or polarization. Ultimately I will capture dozens of stations in SD, ND, MN, MB, SK, LA, TX, MT. Some IDs are circumstantial and will welcome any correxions or ID help. I do not count stations, states or anything, and am not in competition.

Each DX log is a potential learning experience about geography, economy, broadcasting etc., so the details are what make it all worthwhile, unlike MEGO condensed one-liner loggings some editors insist upon. Main reference partially copied for each is the WTFDA FM Database. Distances are approx. licensed city-to-Enid, not site-to-site, from distancefromto.net WTFDA DB provides coordinates for each station, but it`s so much easier to let that site calculate from names, being sure none go haywire. All times strictly UT = CDT +5

Seeing that the MUF is well into the FM band, I go to the garaged car at 1610 UT June 28, tolerating the heat, and start tuning around.

94.1 at 1612, national adstring loud & clear, got to be DX. ``The Legend, 94-1, the rock station in northeast South Dakota for almost four decades``: KSDN-FM 94.1 ABERDEEN SD CLASSIC ROCK THE ROCK 94.1 100.0 kW 134.0 m [note that Legend does not appear in the db] 1010 km = 628 mi

94.3 at 1613, British accent with ``mail: 117 Lombard Street, phone 780-94-30``, ``94.3, Now Radio``, rock: CHNW 94.3 WINNIPEG MB CAN HOT AC 94.3 NOW RADIO 100.0 kW H&V but 100.0 m H only? since V is 0.0? --- 1503 km = 934 mi

94.5 at 1615, rock/praise music, ``God only knows``. God only knows which of these SD it may be: the first one right in Aberdeen like above, but translator supposedly off more than a year; or the next one, also religious, Brookings in E central SD, but only translator and may not be on; or the third one also religious but decent 25 kW power but rather close:

K233BN relays:KVCH 88.7 94.5 ABERDEEN SD silent RELIGIOUS TEACHING CHRISTIAN INFORMATION RADIO 0.0 kWH 0.25 kWV 0.0 mH -2.8 mV VCY America; Silent since 5/25/21 for engineering work - 1010 km = 628 mi OR: K233BR relays:KGWD 94.5 also on 94.5 BROOKINGS SD RELIGIOUS TEACHING REAL PRESENCE RADIO 0.25 kW 0.0 m CP for K235DE 94.9 expires 4/2/22 --- 885 km = 550 mi OR: KGWD 94.5 SIOUX FALLS SD RELIGIOUS TEACHING REAL PRESENCE RADIO 25.0 kW 88.0 m YOUR FAITH FAMILY KGWD 94.5 FM - Sioux Falls -- 801 km = 498 mi

95.3 at 1618, ``coming up on Tiger 95``, ads, brief fade over KOKC: K237EL relays:KIJV-1340 95.3 HURON SD HOT AC TIGER 95.3 0.25 kW 0.0 m -- so definitely translator tail-wagger; only Tiger anywhere on 95.3! --- 887 km = 551 mi

95.5 at 1619, ad for ``furniture made in Grand Forx`` --- got to be in ND or maybe MN on the border: would you believe that both of these are exactly the same distance from GF? at 169 km = 105 miles: KYNU 95.5 JAMESTOWN ND COUNTRY BIG DOG COUNTRY 100.0 kW 197.0 m 98.3KYNU Big Dog Country [related?] --- 1172 mi = 728 mi OR: KKZY 95.5 BEMIDJI MN ADULT CONTEMPORARY KZY 95.5 100.0 kW 129.0 m --- 1256 km = 781 mi  These except for translators are bigsigs

96.7 at 1620, YL with weather, fading; maybe: KKCQ-FM 96.7 BAGLEY MN COUNTRY Q COUNTRY 25.0 kW 170.0 m --- 1254 km = 779 mi OR: KQZZ 96.7 CRARY ND HOT AC MIX 96.7 38.0 kW 171.0 m - 1297 km = 806 mi

97.3 at 1621, rock/praise music: None at all in ND; only SD no fit; only Manitoban is aboriginal in Dauphin. Only MN religious is outside PTA but possible: KDNW 97.3 DULUTH MN CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN LIFE-FM 97.3 72.0 kW 168.0 m --- 1250 km = 777 mi

99.5 at 1622, CCI to OKie, gospel huxter talk. Not MB or ND; only religious in SD is a Mitchell translator; only religious in MN is: KBHW 99.5 INTERNATIONAL FALLS MN CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN/RELIGIOUS TEACHING PSALM FM 100.0 kW 171.0 m Heartland Christian Broadcasters --- 1405 km = 873 mi

101.3 at 1623, CCI to Wichita about tree damage. Not SD, ND or MB; only full-power in MN is not close but near M/SP: KDWB-FM 101.3 RICHFIELD MN HD CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO 100.0 kW 315.0 m --- 1020 km = 634 mi

102.5 at 1624, gospel huxter, maybe plugging a book about ``spiritual biography of rock `n` roll``; music CCI. Manitoba ruled out, three MN full-powers are not religious, nor is one other ND in Devils Lake, so this ND translator?: K273DJ relays: KFNW-1200 102.5 WEST FARGO ND RELIGIOUS TEACHING FAITH 1200 0.25 kW 56.0 mH only --- 1168 km = 726 mi or if really a rock station, then?: KDVL 102.5 DEVILS LAKE ND OLDIES CRUISER 102 100.0 kw 143.0 m --- 1306 km = 812 mi

92.1 at 1625, rock. Only SD is country; not ND; MN has three rockers, this closest: WMIS-FM 92.1 BLACKDUCK MN ROCK THE RIVER 92.1 107.9 95.3 36.0 kw 176.0 m --- 1290 km = 801 mi but more likely: CITI-FM 92.1 WINNIPEG MB CAN CLASSIC ROCK 92 CITI - THE CAPITAL OF ROCK 140.0 m 206.0 m --- 1503 km = 934 mi

94.5 at 1626, license plate renewals due 6/30; City Express building with Godfather`s Pizza, giveaways, rewards, north 2nd and 8th Ave NW; a Northern Plains vet at 226-3816.

Search on clues leads to Aberdeen SD, like this from 2013y: ``Godfather's Pizza will return to Aberdeen next week with the opening of Godfather's Express inside C-Express at 711 N. Second St. Food will be available for takeout or delivery.`` And phone 226-3816 chex for N Plains Animal Health, Aberdeen. There is a 94.5 in Aberdeen, but a silent? translator: K233BN relays:KVCH 88.7 94.5 ABERDEEN SD Silent RELIGIOUS TEACHING CHRISTIAN INFORMATION RADIO 0.0 kWH 0.25 kWV 0.0 mH -2.8 mV VCY America; Silent since 5/25/21 for engineering work --- but source KVCH itself is in Huron, not Aberdeen --- 1010 km = 628 mi

96.5 at 1629, rock, ``Mix 96``, loud & clear, not Tulsa, surely: CJPG-FM 96.5 PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE MB CAN CLASSIC HITS MIX 96.5 24.0 kW 73.0 mH only. Again at 1652, rock and YL DJ about Canada Day, ``local weather, Mix 96``; 1653 CCI from a talk station --- 1510 km = 939 mi

100.3 at 1630, sports talk about baseball last night: Target Field, Minnesota; Progressive Field, Cleveland; ``Our Twins`` so must be from MN -- unless on a national ESPN or other sports network show? MN only from the SE: KFXN-FM 100.3 MINNEAPOLIS MN HD SPORTS KFAN SPORTS RADIO FM 100.3 98.0 kW 281.0 m KFAN Minnesota's Sports Station KFAN Minnesota's Sports Station Talk [KFAN is on 1270 in Rochester] - 1030 km = 640 mi

At this point I had not realized another Es opening from the SSE was coming up as you will soon see below, so possibly if on ESPN rather than local: KLRZ 100.3 LAROSE LA SPORTS 100.3 ESPN 89.0 kW 178.7 m THE FLAGSHIP STATION OF THE PELICANS --- 1031 km = 640 mi not to mention an OKie I never hear: KJCM 100.3 SNYDER OK THE SPORTS ANIMAL 18.0 kW 117.0 m --- 216 km = 134 mi

91.9 at 1643, Sonlifetv.com, Family Worship Center = KBDD Winfield KS, near OK, normally inaudible or JBA - I would like to think this could be backscatter sporadic E rather than just a groundwave fluke or airplane scatter --- direct: 123 km = 77 mi --- Has sporadic E backscatter been observed or verified under any circumstances?

92.9 at 1645, owner of Kia of Lake Charles. Another close one from a town nearby to the east: KHLA 92.9 JENNINGS LA CLASSIC HITS 92 9 THE LAKE 30.0 kW 195.0 m --- 842 km = 522 mi

93.1 at 1648, dead air vs CCI, one or other is Pratt KS, or DX

100.7 at 1655, gospel huxter, tough for anything adjacent to local 100.9 KGWA translator.

104.7 at 1703, ``Star Spangled Banner`` slow version by soprano, odd time, probably not Canadian, or a noontime tradition on some UStation? Maybe just The Bull, Ponca City OK: should check again

92.7 at 1709, classical music; not MN, ND, SD, LA or TX, therefore: CBWS-FM relays:CBW-FM 98.3 92.7 BRANDON MB CAN VARIETY CBC MUSIC WINNIPEG 90.0 kW 297.7 m --- 1507 km = 935 mi

May`s is in Malakoff, SW of Tyler on way to Corsicana, but also in Winona close to Tyler on other side. No doubt whatsoever that this is: KOYE 96.7 FRANKSTON TX USA Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN LA INVASORA 92.3 & 96.7 50.0 kW 150.0 m //KTLH 107.9

And no doubt it IS SPORADIC E at an extremely close distance, which is just as rare as an extremely far distance! Indicating a very strong opening. 530 km = 329 miles!!! In all my sesquidecades of VHF DXing, don`t believe I`ve ever had any Es closer on TV or FM. This is also corroborated by other close logs above and below from LA and TX but not this short.
