C.A.R.N. was supposed to include: ``prop news, Segments From Around The HF Radio Spectrum, besides, HF audio files to play for you. GB's logs From the Past, Musical Interlude, Dx-News, & last but not least, Our Live HF tuning segment From South FL, Jen & GB From England seeing what`s hot on the "Waves"`` --- but no sign of that with Jen nor in following semihour when I leave the rock on in the background. Since radio and internet are already saturated with rock, why does anyone think we want more of it??? At 1957, however, Aussie Tim is introducing his own signature show, `Sounds of Your Life` -- well, maybe his life. Must be a very old recording as he claims to be also on WINB 13755-DRM, Wed/Thu/Fri at 1400-1500, which is not even its current frequency; and on 5045 which is not even his own current frequency, from Gunnedah NSW, not his current location.

In fact I did listen almost an hour; I replied, ``Jen, Great, but this is NOT what was on the stream I was getting from uniqueradio according to your instruxions to go there to access it. What about the `Sounds of Your Life` which was Tim`s own show I was hearing starting at 1957????? This was some other UR stream than the one you were on. You obviously do not understand that you need to publicize a direct link to your stream rather than having listeners hunt for it at UR website. Is your show available ondemand later?

Similar situation at the Milton Ont KiwiSDR, where it does not sound like a near-local signal. It certainly does tune below 1.8 MHz. Anyhow this OC must not be a new or nearby TIS. IRCA Mexican log shows a CP as of 2021, power unknown, for a XESCAA in Zacapú, Michoacán, R. Cultural del Villa de Carbón, SA. Nothing much yet on the Brownsville SDR. At 0406 the S Asian station with AC 514 ad and address of 595 Victoria Ave. 0421 with CHRN ID after some ads. So Montréal`s Asian station is making it thru tnx to CHHA in dead air. Both loop about the same from here, NE/SW. CHRN occasionally surges while CHHA carrier fades. Have not heard CHRN before as CHHA is right between us. CHRN is only 1 kW, while CHHA is 10; but CHRN recently added a relay in Brampton Ont on 1350. ` It`s Radio Humsafar, but referred to everywhere merely as ``Asian`` --- but which language(s), in particular the one right now?

At least the off-frequency has been quite stable from night to night. Off by 2245, so the SDR produces random tones among the noise. What more can be said about this saduation? Zach Liangas and Harold Frodge reported Cairo also distorted before 2100 for the French broadcast on 9884.6. What about Portuguese scheduled to overlap from 2215 to 2330 on 9545?

Up the dial, 15770 definitely in German, so can`t be DW either: WRMI must be a segment in the multilingual SMTV, which EiBi and Aoki both imagine be all-English, which seems to be the default for programmers such as SMTV, too lazy to be explicit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [and non].

Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` I immediately confirmed that KLGB-LP is off the air. While ``open`` for DX, it`s also open for a much needed public radio translator from KGOU at OU in Norman; or KUCO-FM, classical Edmond-OKC. KGOU has zero signal into Enid except very marginally with a little tropo help from its 88.1 relay in Woodward, especially on west side of Enid, but too close to a local translator on 88.3. KGOU 106.3 is totally blocked by a local; its NE OKC relay KROU 105.7 could barely make it here if it were not for another damn gospel huxter translator on 105.5. KUCO 90.1 is marginal direct, picket-fencing and not enough for $tereo to break thru on caradio, or to attain full quieting. It also has better-than-translator relays in the small towns of Woodward and McAlester, both useless here. I notified both stations of 94.3 now being available in Enid, and one of them is looking into it. January 21 circa 1930 UT on caradio I check out what remain on 94.3: another gospel huxter marginally dominates, which must be per WTFDA Database: ``KCVW 94.3 KINGMAN KS RELIGIOUS TEACHING BOTT RADIO NETWORK 100.0 100.0 253.0 253.0 37-46-26 97-30-52 1780 Bott Radio Network Religious Talk`` 134 km = 83 statute miles, city-to-city northward.

There is also a 12 kW in Elk City, KXOO, Classic Rock, Kool 94. Circa 1935 UT Jan 21, I drive right up to the KLGB transmitter site just north of Poplar intersexion with N Van Buren = US 81; just in case its exciter still be on: no, right next to the tower I am getting CCI from the two other stations. Sign still says ``Home of KLGB 94.3``. Last owner was Covenant Life, a church elsewhere in Enid. It was a pretty worthless station, long dispensed with any local programming, plugged into some gospel rock satellite service; and frequently failing with distortion or dead air. FCC FM Query now gets no hit for KLGB. Even tho deleted, ought to preserve data for historical purposes! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Re 94.3 KLGB-LP Enid kaput, frequency open for translators of decent public radio stations: it`s not as if this is the only spot a new local signal could be insqueezed; I am sure there are others, but it`s proven as workable in Enid, so stations cannot excuse as nowhere to go. Another ex-translator channel long open is 93.1, which used to relay KIMY 93.9 Watonga gospel huxter. Finding one in the NCE band <92 MHz would be harder as it`s well cluttered with gospel huxters local and nearby with only one decent public radio signal, 91.7 KOSU from almost 100 km away. 100.9 in Enid once had plans -- APP or even CP? for a genuine LP community radio station backed by among others the emergency management honcho, but it came to naught, and KGWA nabbed the frequency for a tailwagger of its far-right extremist dog 960 talkshows. Of course KUCO or KGOU can be heard streaming, and in fact I do so, but I am unapologetically advocating for real local public radio signals on our dials, in one of OK`s larger cities, while smaller ones like Woodward are way ahead of us, two vs zero, both to boot bigger than mere translators. Per 2020 census, Enid is ninth largest in OK, but it would be fourth if several suburbs of OKC and Tulsa were merged with their metros. Woodward is #38!
