The only other RHC occasionally reported, early morning or evening, is 6000. [But incredibly, Aoki still lists defunct WWRB on 15240 with R Munansi at 15-21!

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAMAICA. 28580 USB, Nov 25 at 2310, 6Y5CB, Jay in Montego Bay making quick contacts. Also noted Mexico, Belize, Uruguay sigs on 10m. QRZ.com: ``Causland J "Scorpio" Burnett, Flower Hill, Salt Spring PO, Montego Bay, Jamaica`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 660, Nov 23 at 0236 UT, ``660 AM y 98.1 FM ... sabemos cómo juega``. If KTNN is properly nulling toward NYC, 660 is open for DX, and this Spanish happens to be atop as I tuneby. Then commences research, as I am rather sure about ``98.1``. Could it be USA? No, the only USSS in NRC AM Log is lowpower in Oregon and also religious. However mwlist shows WDYZ Altamonte Springs FL is ``Poder 660``, but no connexion to 98.1; while NRC Log has that one with ESPN in English and FM on 105.5. Cuba has a Progreso on 660, and three unrelated FMs on 98.1. Surely this is Mexico, not Guatemala either where there is no 660. The Mexicans usually or previously heard on 660 are XEEY, 50/10 kW in Aguascalientes; XEDTL, 50/10 kW in CDMX; and XEFZ, 10/1 kW in Monterrey, but there are a few others. So I search for a correlation with 98.1. WTFDA FM DB shows no 98.1 Mex relaying a 660. IRCA Mexican log has no 660/98.1 match, but digging deeper, in Quintana Roo there are sibling stations of same group, per own website https://sqcs.com.mx/radiochansantacruz/ -- altho not known to be simulcasting: 660 XECPR, Felipe Carillo Puerto, Radio Chan Santa Cruz; and 98.1 XHPYA-FM, Playa del Carmen, Riviera 98.1 FM. Monterrey and CDMX don`t have a 660/98.1 match. In Aguascalientes, XEEY`s FM is on 102.9; the 98.1 there is a separate station. So it looks like could be XECPR, in IRCA as 30 kW daypower, ``Radio Chan Santa Cruz, Frecuencia Maya, Radio 660``. The ``sabemos cómo juega`` slogan implies a sports format. In IRCA the only one partially desportive is XEFZ. Perhaps more likely than QRoo is that one of the other three has had a realignment with a 98.1 since latest info in these references. I ran the above by Tim Hall, who replied: ``Hi Glenn, I'm away from my notes all day visiting with family today, but offhand I suspect it's XEFZ ABC Deportes, which is // XHGBO-92.1. I think I may have recently heard that slogan myself. 73 Tim`` Well, I might have misheard ``ocho`` for ``dos``, leading me on such a wild goose chase? If not more monitoring of 660 direct, maybe would hear likewise on XEFZ webcast labeled ABC Deportes: https://gruporadioalegria.mx/#/ Finally: at 0013 Nov 24 on webcast, full ID including ``sabemos cómo se juega`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. Re my previous report of 660 XEFZ and FM 92.1 not 98.1, Tim Hall replies: ``I can definitely empathize with that.

Since I`m DXing at 0408+ UT Monday November 25, I tune around for the semi?-mandatory weekly government program `La Hora Nacional`. 6185 does not have same programming as several MW stations. I start with 1050 XEG and then check for //s. Sounds like same show with W&M conversation, but nothing synchronized! Does each station get a prefeed to play back individually, not really a network?

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [non]. 341 MCW kHz, Nov 26 at 0750 UT, JBA ND beacons mixing, inseparable, likely the pair I used to get even when EI was active: DNI Denison TX 25 watts, and OIN Oberlin KS 25 watts. RNA list says this about EI EnId: ``!! To be decommissioned 26Dec24 per OKLAHOMA NFDD 211 - 3 10/31/2024`` and last heard: 2024-09-05. I had also first noted it missing on Sept 6 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 930, Nov 21 at 0225 UT, surprised to hear Spanish on what is surely WKY OKC, the normal dominator, and yes, DF points SSE toward it. Lots of crowd noise, apparently a stupid ballgame, occasional remarx but hard to understand as if talking to a companion rather than projecting as a broadcaster. Maybe it`s TV audio where the axion is conveyed mainly visually? PA in the background seems English. Not // 640 or 98.1 The Sports Animal, still in English. Remember that WKY previously had a Spanish stretch, music and DJs as ``La Indomable`` until it wasn`t, 2006-2017y per my archives. Makes `pausas` every so often, such as 0238, almost all filled by strings of PSAs in Spanish from ``Ad Council`` pronounced in English, e.g. marijuana. I`m trying to figure out what kind of SBG it be: big clue, mentions of ``canasta``,i.e. basket, and I also hear sounds of BKB bouncing on the floors, but never a mention of ``baloncesto`` -- too formal? At 0254 said there were 8:55 remaining. Seems to mention ``OKC Estandard[? - later, must have been trying to say ``Thunder``]`` several times. 0301 quick ID inserted by YL voice as ``WKY, Oklahoma City, una estación de ---?`` [Cumulus?] The call letters pronounced in English. Enough of that. Circa 0400 I try the WKY webcast part of iHeart, linked from radio-locator, and now it`s back to English, ID for ``98.1 WWLS The Sports Animal``. Apparently WKY has no website of its own, rather directed to WWLS The Sports Animal where WKY is barely mentioned, and not a word in Spanish. But searching on that English word I get this: ``All Thunder games will air live on the Thunder Radio Network, led by WWLS (98.1 FM) The Sports Animal in Oklahoma City. All home games are also broadcast in Spanish on WKY (930 AM). Eleno Ornelas returns to broadcast all Thunder home games in Spanish.`` And season schedule shows at 7 PM today there was one vs POR. There is nothing in NRC AM Log about WKY being bilingual with SS. How long have these games been SS on WKY?

Something`s notright a Noblejas. I was checking 17755 again since JRX in Brasil first reported it at 1740 today. 17755 was last noted here Nov 8, and first noted missing on Nov 11. 9690 was also off again as of yesterday Nov 20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2270) ** SPAIN. 12030, Fri Nov 22 at 1609, only REE frequency audible at UTwente, no 17755; and of course, 9690 & 17715 to Hemisphere West not yet on air.

Plugs transmitters available, needs more business for WBCQ.

Checking this because Hugh Whelan reported an unlisted station on  4650, which Arthur Pozner then IDed as WITK [not WIZK my typo],  Wilkes-Barre PA on its 3rd harmonic of 1550! as heard into same  Duryea remote, which is only about 10 miles away. Looking at the waterfall, there are lines throughout the spectrum at least to 31 MHz, correlating with 1.55 MHz spacing, so I pick this frequency which is the *15th* harmonic of 1550. Have not tried direct, but may well be propagating widely on multiple harmonix. Also heard on many of the lower ones spot checked. I`ll calculate them for convenience: 3100, 4650, 6200, 7750, 9300, 10850, 12400, 13950, 15500, 17050, 18600, 20150, 21700, 23250, 24800, 26350, 27900, 29450, 31000... Not until 2303 do I get around to checking many of those direct: nothing except a JBA carrier on 9300 which is probably ChiCom jamming against Sound of Hope. WITK, in Pittston PA, not Wilx-Barre, per NRC AM Log, U4 10000/500 watts so by then would have powered down with different antenna pattern. Still worth checking some of those possible harmonix in daytime. Hugh`s original report started, ``From West Pittston, PA I heard a strong signal at frequency 4650 of a man preaching at 14:16 UTC, later followed by a clear ID that this was coming from the Wilkins Radio Network.`` It`s not clear if Hugh was *in* West Pittston PA, was using a remote somewhere, or heard it direct at his location of record, Ft Myers FL; which? W. Pittston is even closer to Duryea, both NE of W-B. NRC shows licensed to Pittston, not West Pittston, and address in Exeter. Pittston, West Pittston, Exeter and Duryea are close to each other about halfway between Scranton and W-B, slightly closer to the latter. Radio-locator gives station address as Wilkins R Network, Spartanburg SC, so O&O? Day and night transmitter locations are slightly different by one second of latitude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {later: Hugh says he was in W Pittston. So a local-overload situation but some harmonix still might escape} ** U S A. 770, Nov 22 at 0734 UT, `Red Eye Radio` promos, then KKOB ID plugging streaming. WABC can sometimes be heard but not now. I guess KKOB, ABQ NM, still on 12.5 kW ND STA. How`s replacing the ballooned tower coming along? Is KKOB still running the co-channel 230-watt Santa Fe relay at night, or no longer necessary? Are there any other such arrangements on AM? WBZ 1030 used to have a WBZA in Springfield MA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 880 kHz, Nov 25 at 0407 UT, Spanish ID as ``Radio Visión Latina, 106.1 FM`` and canciones. Best on N/S antenna, while on E/W there is NYC QRM. Only one XE on 880 and it`s silent! There are several USSS on 880, but this must be U4 10/1 kW KJOZ Conroe TX, but for Houston market, in NRC AM Log with different slogan ``La Calle`` group, address in Pasadena, tropical format. That group is/was KJOZ plus three FM translators on different frequencies. However, WTFDA FMDB on 106.1 leads to K291CE relaying KJOZ 880 with 28/28 watts, ``Radio Vida Visión``. Broad search on ``Vision Latina 106.1`` also leads to Houston but with precious little detail, not even a callsign at https://visionlatina.com/ website. Apparently a TV group in a few major cities with radio as an afterthought (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 880, reply to my KJOZ log: ``Glenn, you are correct about Radio Visión Latina on KJOZ 880, which is the originating station for K291CE 106.1 in Houston. KJOZ has been leased by numerous programmers in recent years, so sometimes hard to keep track of changes. La Calle is a different format currently heard on several translators and LPFMs on 102.5 in the greater Houston metro area. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` --- tnx, Stephen!

The only 1600/103.7 matchup in WTFDA FMDB is W279BY of WKZK 1600, Augusta-Richmond County, GA, ``The Spirit 103.7 FM & 1600 AM`` AND same match in NRC AM Log as WKZK North Augusta SC, 4000/27 watts also UC:GOS format, but no mention of BIN. The only other BIN on 1600 is 25/5 kW WWRL NYC which is apparently fulltime BIN with UC:NWS/TLK, but I would hardly expect it way out here, https://newyork.binnews.com/ and no FM. Looking further into WKZK: https://wkzk.net/ shows slogan is The Spirit, and nothing about BIN - might take news only from it, but would not expect that to combine with 103.7 in a non-ID. Now what? Guess what, searching on BIN 103.7 leads right to St. Louis! About the same generic website as WWRL: but nothing about 1600! Back to WTFDA: there is no 103.7 in MO near St Louis: I bet it`s across the bridge in IL: YES, here we go: ``W279AQ relay of: KLOU 103.3 HD2 103.7 MASCOUTAH IL USA 0.25 0.25 0.0 0.0 38-34-28 90-19-32 D3FF NEWS BIN 151819`` --- Mascoutah is just SE of St Louis, about twice as far out at Belleville, rather too far for an FM translator into STL, but not for 1600 AM.

This fall I am having much less success than previous years, due to: increased constant local noise level; degraded MW prop at solar max; fewer signals on air at full power, notably Spain. 711 I hope is 300 kW WESTERN SAHARA as occupied by Morocco, but could be Cuban spoiler. At 1650 I try Canary remotes on 711: one gets nothing, the other a carrier but nothing audible, 9 Hz below 711 and no WWV to check calibration. 1044 likely SPAIN, where there are 2 x 10 kW, tho I would settle for 200 kW from ETHIOPIA, starting at 0245 per mwlist.
