FTIOM & UBMP Dec 2-8, 2018

From the Isle of Music, December 2-8

This week, our special guest is Ricardo Oropesa, Artistic Director of Septeto Nacional Ignacio Piñeiro, which was awarded a Premio de Honor at Cubadisco 2018 for its 90 years of existence. This is the group that first took the Son from Cuba around the world. Plenty of great music and some interesting history along the way.

The broadcasts take place:

1. For Eastern Europe but audible well beyond the target area in most of the Eastern Hemisphere (including parts of East Asia and Oceania) with 100Kw, Sunday 1500-1600 UTC on SpaceLine, 9400 KHz, from Kostinbrod, Bulgaria (1800-1900 MSK)

2. For the Americas and parts of Europe, Tuesday 0100-0200 UTC (New UTC) on WBCQ, 7490 KHz from Monticello, ME, USA (Monday 8-9PM EST in the US). This has been audible in parts of NW, Central and Southern Europe with an excellent skip to Italy recently.

3 & 4. Our usual broadcasts on Channel 292 will not be heard this week due to maintenance at the transmitter.

Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot, December 2, 2018

Episode 90, Hawaii True & False, presents some genuine music from Hawaii and some parodies.

1.Sunday 2300-2330 UTC (6:00PM -6:30PM Eastern US) on WBCQ The Planet 7490 KHz from the US to the Americas and parts of Europe

2. Our usual broadcast on Channel 292 will not be heard this week due to maintenance at the transmitter.

Also recommended:

Marion’s Attic, a unique program produced and hosted by Marion Webster featuring early 20th Century records, Edison cylinders etc played on the original equipment, comes on immediately before UBMP on Sundays from 2200-2300 UTC on WBCQ 7490 Khz.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
26 November - 02 December 2018

Solar activity was very low. GONG and SDO imagery displayed a 17
degree long filament eruption between 30/0214-0603 UTC. The filament
was centered near S56W09. Two subsequent CME signatures were
observed in coronagraph imagery. Analysis and modeling suggested an
Earth-directed component was present despite most of the ejecta
moving south of the ecliptic place. Arrival of the slow-moving
transient is expected on 05 Dec.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
normal background levels throughout the reporting period.

Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active. Quiet
conditions increased to unsettled on 01-02 Dec, with an isolated
period of active observed at the end of 02 Dec, due to the onset of
a positive polarity CH HSS. Enhancements from the CIR increased Bt
to a maximum of 10 nT on 01 Dec and wind speeds peaked at 460 km/s
on 02 Dec. Nominal solar wind produced quiet conditions over the
remainder of the reporting period.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
03 December - 29 December 2018

Solar activity is expected to remain very low over the outlook
period.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to range from normal to high levels. High levels are
expected on 03-04 Dec and 07-12 Dec; moderate levels are expected on
06 Dec and 14-16 Dec; normal background levels are expected on 05
Dec and 17-19 Dec. All enhancements in are anticipated in response
to multiple, recurrent CH HSSs.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to range from quiet to active
levels. Active levels are expected on 03-05 Dec and 29 Dec;
unsettled levels are expected on 06-09 Dec, 17-19 Dec and 28 Dec;
quiet levels are expected over the remainder of the period. All
enhancements in geomagnetic field activity are anticipated in
response to multiple, recurrent, CH HSSs, with the exception of 05
Dec, when a slow-moving transient is likely to pass Earth.

Supreme Master TV new on WRMI

** U S A. Supreme Master TV is now occupying the WRMI webcast after 0500 UT Monday Dec 3, immediately after World of Radio 0430 on 9955 closes. Some unknown language, but at 0535-0545 into mostly English with long list of outlets, especial cable/public access TV, but also mentions WRMI 15770 to sub-Saharan Africa. Much of the material obviously refers to invisible visual elements. This replaces WRN with Israel Radio on webcast at 05-06. 

0600 after Zanotti ID, now over to WRN with RFI English relay, `Paris Live` [sic] dated Friday 30th November. Which was the latest English hour at 1400 weekdays only. Now hosted by Singleton. Both these are shown on sked for 5950, SW unchecked yet.

The WRMI skedgrid now shows Supreme Master TV at 15-18 on 15770, indeed on 87 degree beam toward Equatorial Guinea, rather than 44 degree antenna this frequency used to employ. And it shows more SMTV:

00-01 on 5950 (so much for RFI in English)

05-06 on 5950

15-18 on 15770

23-24 M-F on 9395

WRN still has considerable time on WRMI, and RFI relays

Glenn Hauser logs December 2, 2018

** CHINA. 6180, 6175, 6125, Dec 2 at 1343, CNR1 jamming with finale of Beethoven`s Ninth! What a travesty; also on 7305 at 1347, and at 1348 on to other music. During the Sunday-evening serious music show, often with Western classical (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 2 at 0252, R. Rebelde is S9+10/20 but music is overmodulated/distorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Dec 2 at 0254, RHC English is only here, S9+10 and nothing on 6165, during JBM music. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000 & 6100, Dec 2 at 0713, RHC English on these two, while 6060 & 6165 are off. 6100 had been missing a lot; now it`s best with good modulation vs undermod on 6000. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13700, Dec 2 at 1353, RHC dead air, but no FMish spurs on band, nor at 1405 once fundamental is modulating. Something`s not wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, Dec 2 at 1534, RHC `Sonido Cubano` music is undermodulated, while 15140 is overmodulated; now if only they could even them out. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non?]. 3220, Dec 2 at 1340, two JBA carriers beating, one about 3219.96. 3220 is surely KCBS; the other a 2x harmonic from a 1610v TIS? Still so with preamps off, thus seem real unlike the 2x MW harmonix I get around 3 MHz from R75 overload (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960, UT Sun Dec 2 at 0057 tune-in, The Mighty KBC playing ``William Tell Overture`` --- can a guest appearance by Allan Weiner be imminent? NO, WTO soon degrades into a jazzed-up version; S9+10 via GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9, Dec 2 at 0715, no signal from VON. Must be off; it never varies but there is a JBA carrier from algo on 7255.72 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. Pre-Sunset MW DX: Re: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 1521, Nov 28 at 2044 UT, on my MW bandscan in western Enid, KOKC OKC has a JBA het upon it! Roughly 1 kHz, but I can`t tell exactly on caradio and whether it`s 1519 or 1521. Could the 2-megawatt Saudi be propagating this early? (Hauser-OK)`` --- and

<< first audibility of the Iranian jammer [1575] in Victoria, 2254 UT. May have been there earlier? 90 minutes until local sunset. best wishes, Nick Hall-Patch, BC >>

The two receptions are completely plausible at this time of year near earliest sunset. Sunset here in MA late NOV / DEC is about 2115 UT. A few years ago during a DX get-together at the Cape Cod house of Chris Black (N1CP), we witnessed 1521 Saudi het at noon EST / 1700 UT and discernible audio 15 minutes later: 4 hours pre-sunset.

Inland sites can experience long-haul DX up to 2 hours before sunset; salt-water sites - as noted above - can be getting into the game up to 4 hours before sunset.

Shorter skip (<2000 km), especially on the upper half of the band, is pretty much an all day thing this time of year in northern states and anywhere in Canada (Mark Connelly, WA1ION South Yarmouth, MA, IRCA via DXLD) Sunset here was 2317 UT, 2.5 hours later (gh, Enid, DXLD)

** TURKEY. 12035.699, Dec 2 at 1349, VOT English S9-S7 with commentary; while VOT Turkish is not way off, just a few Hz above 15350 with music S9-S4 at 1354; by 1403 QSY to just a few Hz above 11815, and hardly any co-signal from NHK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1958 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday December 2 at 0427 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, scarcely 1 minute into, so started at 0426; despite S9+30, heavy CW QRM as a 160m contest must be underway as first noticed at 0407 check, CW in below 1870 only.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15770, Dec 2 at 1512, JBA carrier; 1533 no signal at all from WRMI during `Supreme Master TV` which started Nov 30 at 15-18, and also heard during brief check Dec 1. Now Cubans are inbooming on 15700, 15230, 15140, so 15770 must be off. 1645 recheck now it`s back with the self-proclaimed wisdom of Ms. Ching Hai (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Dec 2 at 0102, S9+30 of dead air from WTWW-2; wake up, Ted! He does at 0107:30, abrupt quick canned ID and start `Theater Organ in the Ozarx` way late, instead of nominal 0030. That`s fine with me as I am not listening before 0100! Bob Heil says this will be the first of several shows of Xmasmx only. At 0131 Ted interrupts to urge listener response to Bob Heil --- not so much for organ music but for Bob promoting ham radio! 

I belatedly look for WTWW webcast, easily reached via Alan Roe`s just updated WOR hitlist, http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

at: http://wtww.us/pages/listen-live/transmitter-2-html-5.php which is running 16 seconds *ahead* of the SW broadcast, implying this is the STL. And it`s in stereo, which is great especially for organ music, so I`m done with trying to hear it on 5085 (unless no other option). Ends at 0139 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3145, 3185, 3195, 3215, 5050, Dec 2 at 0103, no sign of WWRB on any of its possible frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. I miswrote ``ESPN 1390`` in the middle of this instead of 640; corrected:

640, Nov 27 at 2132 UT I am bandscanning on caradio at a quiet parking lot in western Enid, finding dead air again from KWPN, but turning up the volume, somestation is audible under --- it must be WOI, public radio in Ames IA. I hasten to A/B with 91.7 KOSU to make it // during NPR ATC, but ``ESPN 640`` blasts back on in less than a minute. Anyhow it would not be in // as WOI is amid BBC Newshour, no ATC there until 2200. TROTS: if OU had not stupidly sold off its legacy AM station, WNAD 640, today Oklahoma would have public radio on AM (and a lot better reception in the hinterlands than its low-power FM successor KGOU and satellites can muster) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 780, Dec 2 at 1330 UT, list of church services canceled in Norfolk and other towns; consult WJAG.com; with KSPI nulled, and WJAG NE still has some CCI under from WBBM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1130, Dec 2 at 1336 UT, KLEY Wellington KS is back on, missing yesterday; with KWKH nulled, mentions kscorn.com and ``local Wellington``. Also at 1643 UT recheck during Xmasmx, 250-watt signal weak but OK, no breaking up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search Dec 2 at 1321-1325: 774, 747, 693, 594, 828, 972, 1242, 1422, 1566, all from NW; and 1098 from W, the Marshall Islands AN carrier no doubt. In the upperband, 1242 and 1422 seem most productive, and I wonder what they most likely could be? 1242 has 100 kW JOLF, NBS Tokyo, but also some 100 kW in China, India, and 500 kW in Vietnam. 1422 has 50 kW JORF, Yokohama, but also 50 kW in Taiwan, and 600 kW in East Turkistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6090, I am re/rechecking this frequency where on Dec 1 at 0417-0423 I had a station on 6090.148 suspected of being Amahara State Radio, Ethiopia. On Dec 2 at 0056/0427, in total absence of Anguilla, I have no off-frequency signal, just somethings on 6090.0 even: 0056 Spanish undermodulated S9-S6, i.e. IRAN; 0255 past 0300+ with no change, JBA carrier(s). There should be an overlap 0300-0320 between Iran and Ethiopia. Still same JBA carrier at 0327, 0406, 0426. Meanwhile, Wolfgang Bueschel replied Dec 1:

``Glenn, re 6090.148 kHz odd --- never such oddity by all Ethiopians, - except the var7235 ... 7237 kHz unit one. Gedja bc center Amhara program is mostly EVEN fq, or small variation of 3... 5 Hertz only, never more. At present at 20.38 UT on remote SDR unit at Athens Greece, half way between Stuttgart and Gedja ETH. S=9+15dB signal iseven 6090.000 kHz. 73 wb``

So it remains a mystery what I heard, and need to keep checking for a 6090+ off-er. It would be nice if S Americans could confirm whether Bandeirantes, Belo Horizonte be active, and on what exact frequency.

Mark Coady, Ontario had a seemingly definite log of it, but on ``6090``: ``6090, Radio Bandeirantes at 0054 in Portuguese with a woman with talk with mentions of “Brasil”, “Sao Paulo”, and “Bandeirantes” and brief Brasopops at 0058 and back to talk - Poor and noisy Nov 22 Coady-ON – No sign of the Caribbean Beacon tonight during monitoring up to 0200 (Mark Coady, Selwyn, Ontario, Kenwood TS440S or Ten-Tec Argonaut II and 40 and 80 meter off centre-fed dipoles, ODXA iog via DXLD)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

More info on Radio Unique 5045 khz test

Hi Tim,

A few days ago we had third-hand info that Unique was testing on 5045. Nothing since, don`t know if anyone over here heard it. Would you please tip the WOR iog the next time you are doing this (or is it running all the time now?)

73, (Glenn to Tim Gaynor, via DXLD)

Hi Glenn, 

this was to assertain what sort of signal was being heard (Quality, equipment etc), moreso in my local receiving area.

The signal strength was respectable with around 125W into an inverted V antenna and could be heard in many other areas including NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and fortuitous reception noted in New Zealand.

The problem noted was considerable sidesplash from Taiwan on 5050 KHz after 10PM local (1100 UT). One sideband of DSB was enabled for transmission at a bandwidth of 2.8 Khz which worked better overall.

There is a website available for more information (Brand new), being:

http://www.uniqueradio.biz

To be honest, I'm wondering if anyone is too interested in what I'm doing locally as I get more interest internationally in both shortwave and Unique radio at Podomatic site.

Thanks for your interest however, always appreciated.

Anyway I will keep on keeping on and the website explains it in detail,

Best regards

(Tim Gaynor

I radioamatori sulla nuova banda dei 60 metri

Sappiamo che pochi apparati commerciali possono trasmettere sulla nuova banda dei 60 metri.

Ma per noi autocostruttori non è difficile, vi informo quindi che sono attivo con 15 watt ERP ed antenna filare di 15 metri 1/4 onda, la banda si presta a buone sperimentazioni e QSO in varie ore del giorno e della sera.

Qui il band plan dei 60 metri: http://www.iw3hv.it/banda-dei-60-metri

Mentre qui potete vedere Video del mio nuovo setup 2018, sempre 100% fai da te, da 0 a 144 mhz, che utilizzo anche sulla nuova banda: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aLEdSyIrWk

Vi aspetto a 5360 USB, sopratutto per parlare di radiotecnica e non del diploma di star trek (40 metri) o della torta della nonna, in forno in 80 metri ! HI HI

Developments in the Australian domestic HF broadcasting scene

Radio broadcast on HF (high frequency or shortwave) has a solid role to play in the pantheon of media in the Australian and pan-Pacific context. It might be off the radar for the urban masses, but HF radio is the proven, economical alternative to satellite and cable for communication over continental or oceanic distances. Our commercial airlines use HF radio every day. So do our mining companies and emergency services. People holidaying in our remote areas buy or rent HF transceivers for their cars. Australia has the largest number of civilian users of HF radio inthe world.

For thirty years a simple system of three HF transmitters quietly provided Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) radio to, remote populations across inland Australia, the Northern Territory (NT). Centered on Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and Katherine each transmitter reached out nominally 450 km, covering an area of nearly 2 million square kilometres. In practice the area serviced was larger, extending into Queensland and Western Australia. Such is the utility of this versatile medium. The ,audience was small, only a couple of hundred thousand, living or moving through the most remote places in Australia, but this was their lifeline.

During the cyclone season, storm alerts and flood warnings would reach people in the inland beyond the call of AM and FM networks. Yes, such people do exist in Australia and elsewhere in the Pacific.

Like many marginalised communities the HF radio listeners of the outback struggled to make urban elites understand their very real world. So in 2016 when the ABC announced the closure of the domestic HF transmitters in order to fund its DAB+ radio rollout in Canberra and Hobart, the backlash from the remote communities was shrugged off and the closures proceeded in 2017. ABC pointed at its satellite as an alternative, but had no answer when asked how to equip a jillaroo's horse, a dusty 4WD or an offshore tinnie with a fragile satellite dish, an expensive receiver and the power point to run it all.

People who are used to an effective service tend to take its loss badly. So it has been in the NT. Politicians were pursued by the inland listeners wanting a better deal. The matter has culminated with the main opposition Australian Labor Party pledging to restore the HF distribution of ABC within Australia if it wins the forthcoming the federal election.

Let's hope political expediency at the federal government level and within ABC doesn't foul this up. We don't want a half-baked resurrection as a sop to fend off critics of the ABC or to let politicians grandstand.

The three domestic HF sites in the NT cost a lot more than AUD$1.9 million p.a. to run. That was a figure bandied about by ABC after criticism of its DAB+ expansion costs. But for a sum in the order of half that, plus re-establishment costs, a service can be implemented which would have greater coverage, better reliability and lower outgoings. What's not to like? The key is the former Radio Australia HF station at Shepparton, Victoria.

The cost of electricity at the NT sites was horrendous. Apart from feeding three thirsty 50 kW tx, huge air conditioning plant was required at each site to pull out waste heat and combat 50° summer temperatures. Maintenance costs were savage. On-air availability was lousy (worst in the ABC network) because of environmental challenges and long maintenance travel times.

So here's a plan: re-locate a near-new Continental 418G HF 100 kW transmitter from Tennant Creek to Shepparton. Electricity is much cheaper and more reliable at Shepparton. It's a cooler site and has permanent, trained staff. The consolidation of spares and expertise with the other Continental transmitters at Shepparton makes engineering and economic sense. Re-locate the two small 6-12 MHz HR2/2/0.4 and HR2/2/0.6 aerials from the former RA station at Brandon. Erect them both as AHR2/2/0.4, align one on a ,boresight of 000°T and the other one on a boresight of 320°T. Feed both aerials from the transmitter via a splitter, run the transmitter at 80 kW so each array receives 40 kW. Run a 5.9 MHz channel at night and a 9 or 11 MHz channel during daylight. Bingo. You now have a two-frequency network covering the sector between 020° & 300° at a range of 1500 km -> 3000+ km. What a great conduit for cyclone/flood alerts, quality news and entertainment and if the ABC can manage that then it might just get back to meeting its charter obligations to all Australians.

Nigel Holmes is the retired Radio Australia transmission manager.

Glenn, I've decided to keep the current relay going on 9265 via WINB.When I get back around January 14th (After some time off) I will cement a permanent sched down for 5045 and be on air on weeknights too, my time. So will program WOR into these slots too.

** BULGARIA. 9400, Sat Dec 1 at 1421, beepery from SW Radiogram, S2-S4 but separable from much stronger S9+10 9395 TOMBS WRMI. Read all about it, et al., tnx to roger in the WOR iog:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Dec 1 at 0700, only this RHC English keeps running, jazz, 0702 restarting hour noting that ``this is World AIDS Day, December 1`` --- what? Already a Saturday edition? Would expect them to keep repeating the Fri Nov 30 show one more time; or do they record weekends further in advance, despite ``latest news``. It`s also ``Dia del Locutor`` in Cuba, honoring announcers. 

The other frequencies: 5040, tuned first, just stopped modulating at 0700; 6060 & 6165 dead air, 6100 off (and not on earlier either??); at 0705, open carriers remain on 6165 and stronger 6060, but at 0708, 6060 is off (and nothing on 9535 like last night). Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13834, Dec 1 at 1402, FM blob, approximately here, as then I find RHC spurcrap all over the band, much of it weak and diffuse rather than with relatively sharp peaks: 13751-13771, 13625-13648, 13564, 13500; coming out of the 13700-AM transmitter. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CUBA [and non]. 9535, Dec 1 at 1503, RHC with heavy fluttery CCI, much weaker than // 9640. Both are now scheduled 12-16. The CCI must be CRI in Nepali via Xi`an --- Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA. 6090.148, Dec 1 at 0417, JBA talk, 0423 bit of HoA? music, S7 vs heavy storm noise from east of here. Anguilla off, of course. Surely Amhara State Radio via A.A., on from 0300, not Nigeria, and Iran finishes at 0320; but I can`t find any recent logs of Amhara off-frequency, just ``6090``. Another remote possibility, Bandeirantes, Brasil reactivated, as was certainly capable of skewed frequency. But this would be after local midnite, and their two other SW frequencies are long gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENINIG DIGEST) 

** LIBERIA [and non]. 6050, Dec 1 at 0710, JBA carrier, I hope is ELWA, which I never get with any modulation. Also on 6050 now is Tibet, but way too early for them in early afternoon. This gives me an idea to try for heard-all-continents right now on this band:

6155 Austria is good; 6045 KBS via UK (Europe)

6055 & 6115, Nikkei, Japan (Asia)

5940-, Brasil off-frequency (South America)

5830, 5935 USA, 6070 Canada (North America)

No Oceania broadcasters exist, but see NEW ZEALAND

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 6224-USB, Dec 1 at 0706, very poor marine weather in English, e.g. Barometer 1004, etc. Announcer is indefatigable, being synthetic. It`s ZLM, Taupo Maritime Radio, with many transmissions per EiBi, this one being 0703-0735 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Sat Dec 1 at 1800, KUCO introduces the first Met Opera live broadcast of the season, but then, it`s a bust --- dead air until 1826!! Is local host Lane Whitesell http://www.kucofm.com/about/staff/m.staff/130/view/18 not really there to do anything about it or at least make a courtesy announcement/apology?

Initial opera is Arrigo Boito: Mefistofele. I keep listening to the dead air both on 90.1 and webcast arriving about a minute later: suddenly comes to life at 1826/1827 UT for the last few minutes of the prologue, then 1831/1832 UT, Met hosts introduce Act I. It`s in mono on the web, and altho the stereo pilot is still on causing a noisy signal here in the hinterlands, the music also sounds mono on 90.1. Apparently they had to arrange a backup feed (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 39, Nov 30 circa 1530 UT, KWTV has finally turned off its upper channel, leaving us with new RF 25 only. (Heavy fog over Enid now and all day, but little help for TVDX: only some Bad signals on 45, 26, 11, 10, likely Tulsa/Wichita.) Meanwhile, I had sent an inquiry Nov 29 to the rescanoklahoma contact e-mail:

``Reception degraded on channel 25

I do not need any help rescanning. I do find it remarkable that you never explain what is really going on, moving your real RF channel from 39 to 25. Not to mention *why* you have to do it (repacking).

Ever since the tests started on 25, I have been apprehensive about losing KWTV as a reliable signal.

25 has always been weaker than 39, often on the verge or not decoding at all. I was hoping this was temporary and when the final change was made, the strength of 25 would be boosted to what 39 once was.

The signal meter on my set-top-box still shows 9-3 & 9-4 on 39 almost completely `good`, while 9-1 & 9-2 on 25 are barely `good`.

I have two rooftop antennas which until now had absolutely reliable reception of KWTV-39. Now, not so much. Are you still going to improve back to the previous level? Has there been an ERP and/or HAAT reduction?

BTW, the same thing happened with KSBI moving down to 23 --- definitely weakened and sometimes breaking up. I tried to ask you about this with email via the news department since your website showed *no* way to contact engineering directly.

Please reply and explain. Regards, Glenn Hauser, Enid``

And came this helpful reply Nov 30:

``Glenn: Hope I can help with information that can assist you. The FCC held an auction for the phone carriers for 600 MHZ frequencies (5G). They sold off CH's 38 to 51 and moved us down to CH 25.  Currently KWTV CH 25 and KSBI CH 23 share an antenna which is lower on the tower than the old CH 39. Combining the two channels, ERP power level is reduced for KSBI and the height is reduced for KWTV but the ERP power level is higher than what the new channel 25 antenna will end up being. Now as of last night that CH 39 is off, we are efforting to replace that antenna on top of the tower with a new antenna. We should have a new top antenna for KWTV installed around early next year.   

KWTV CH 39 ERP is 1 MW. Now off. 

KWTV CH 25 ERP for the side mounted antenna is 819 KW. 

KWTV CH 25 top antenna will be 749 KW. 

KSBI CH 23 once KWTV antenna is back on top, 1 MW. Currently operating at around 1/2 power.

We added elliptical polarization (EP) to the KSBI/KWTV side mounted antenna and the new CH 25 antenna will also have EP. This will help with future hand held devices.     

Just so you know, KAUT is also changing channels tomorrow (Dec 1).  They will be on CH 19. It's doubtful you will be able to see them for a few weeks. They are installing a temporary antenna and parts are coming in their new installation. 

Hope that helps explain what we are working on. Jack Mills, Director of Engineering KWTV-KSBI`` 

But KAUT is still on RF 40 as of December 1 at 1700 UT = 11 am CST, when I see a slide amid programming proclaiming that they *are* shifting to RF 19 as of 10 am Dec 1! Please rescan.

1800 UT recheck, now RF 40 is off but no signal here on RF 19 either. And still not at 1916 UT. No hurry as I see on cable it`s infomercials. I then find this on their website:

https://kfor.com/2018/11/30/have-an-antenna-remember-to-rescan-on-saturday-morning-to-get-kaut/

``Have an antenna? Remember to re-scan on Saturday morning to get KAUT

Posted 12:00 pm, November 30, 2018, by KFOR-TV and K. Querry, Updated at 12:25PM, November 30, 2018

OKLAHOMA CITY – Some loyal KAUT viewers will need to take a few steps in order to make sure they can keep watching their favorite programming.

On Saturday morning at 10 a.m., anyone who watches KAUT with an antenna will only be able to continue watching if they re-scan their television set.

In order to re-scan your TV, there are just a few quick steps you need to take:

    Grab the remote.

    Push the “Input” or “Menu” button.

    Scroll through the options. You’ll want to select either 

“Channel,” “Setup” or “TV” based on your television set.

    Select “Scan” or “Auto-Scan.”

    Hit “Start.”

If you are still having trouble, we can help! Call us at (405) 516-4299 or email us at rescan@kfor.com.

If you receive KAUT through a cable or satellite provider, you don’t have to do anything`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330v & 7490v & 5130v, UT Sat Dec 1 at 0053, NO signals from WBCQ, all off or lousy propagation? I`m on internal random wire due to heavy electrical storm, but still should hear something. Storm past, at 0155 I check 7490 webcast to hear AWWW reading some FRW items, call to prayer and soon 0200 into sign-off classical theme. What did John Carver hear?

``Show started about a minute late I think. 7490 was very poor. 5130 is apparently running a different program with a theme song about the tree of liberty and the sons of liberty with a two second insertion of the William Tell overture. No signal at all on 9330. Back to 7490 and couldn't copy a word for all the noise. Reminds me of the old days on 7415 before the simulcasting when I couldn't hear AWWW from late November till March or April. Giving up trying to copy this evening.John Mid-North Indiana`` and sent this already at 0113 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9265, Sat Dec 1 at 1423, NO signal from WINB. Previously it switched to own programming when Unique Radio stopped at 1330, but now sked dated Nov 11 implies a 2-hour break after UR (really WOR) between 1230 and *1430 Apostolic Witness (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9980, Nov 30 at 2118, WWCR-4 is on, bigsig with discussion of NAFTA on `Financial Survival`, which is also on 7490v WBCQ. 

#4 transmitter is barely in use anymore: business must be quite bad. 

*Available* in B-18 24 hours:

Transmitter #4 - 100 KW - 90 Degrees

12:00 AM-07:00 AM 0600-1300 5.890 MHz

09:00 PM-12:00 AM 0300-0600 5.890 MHz

But program grid still dated Nov 4, shows ONLY this, mostly blank space! M-F 21-23 on 9980, Tue-Sat 02-03 on 6115, 03-05 on 5890. NO usage of 7520 at all, and *nothing* whatsoever on weekends. Totalling only 25 hours a week, less than 15% of capacity. Looks like #2 and #3 are still 24/7, and #1 still off 3215 and 15795 overnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1540.00, Dec 1 at 0501 UT, continuous TexMexmx is dominant, even on E-W longwire, finally 0510 UT in English, ``We`ve got you covered, KGBC, 15-40 AM``. And there is no het! Not off-frequency+plus tonight. No assumption that KGBC is permanently fixed, as it`s jumped back and forth before. 

All three TX 1540s are now latino, as both KGBC and KEDA Jalapeño San Antonio are `Tejano` format per NRC AM Log, and KZMP Metroplex [q.v.] is ESPN-D. (The next morning I discover that my 100-ft longwire had been broken in the middle by a treelimbfall near the farend, now patched back together) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1540.00, Dec 1 at 1354 UT, YL in Spanish about financial advice but also proffering bendiciones, conversation with OM, soon closing ``Puntos de --algo--`` show with Dallas mention and 214 AC phone, so it`s KZMP University Park, breaking away from ESPN-Deportes format. Now on 32 kW day power legally since 1330 UT but day pattern is tight E-W, so we should not be getting much of it here (and night pattern is tight east-only) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
