** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 30, before 1300:
10300, fair at 1254
11500, poor at 1254; none in the 12s
13920, poor at 1256; none in the 14s, 15s
16100, poor at 1258
16980, very poor at 1258
After 1330:
16100, JBA at 1332
11500, JBA at 1337
10300, very poor at 1337

** CUBA. 11435, Sept 30 at 0605, huge S9+25 open carrier, interrupted by loud data bursts at 0608-0608:44 or so, and again at 0613-0613:44 or so, every five minutes onward? Previously pinned on the Cuban spy numbers operation, altho without the analog numbers.
13805 & 13835 approx., Sept 30 at 1335 I am hearing lite pulse jamming, which must be spurs from the wall of noise on central 13820 vs R. Martí (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 15050, Sept 30 at 1258, open carrier with hum and tone, flutter but S7-S9+10. 1300 cut off tone and Sinhala opening of AIR without any IS or theme music; 1302 a song; 1305 to OM chanting. Is that for a religion of some sort from the state broadcaster? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Friday Sept 30 at 0611, IGIM is on and chanty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, Sept 30 at 0607, VON with ID, Nigerian news in English, fading S9 to S9+12 peaks along with big hum. With BFO on, carrier is obviously unstable too. Still no sign here of a test on 15200 too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 102.3, the pirate in SE OKC carrying farrightwingnut programming, I have heard with spotty reception in NW OKC, so when I was in SE OKC I made a point of monitoring its local-quality signal. Previously I had heard a *local commercial* go by at the top of an hour, so listened for it again UT Sept 30 at 0300, and there it was:
Red Dawn Hunting & Survival at 6103 SE 15 in Midwest City, ``across from Rose State College``. (I was listening from the RSC campus, by coincidence, after a Paul Winter+ performance.) Phone 405-732-0717, http://www.reddawnok.com website also given. Slogan ``when zombies come knockin`, you`re the one rockin```.
Don`t they realize this flashmob stuff is not for real? Or is it? Google on ``zombie apocalypse`` including CDC which has more of a sense of humor about it, but that`s the big bad government:
http://blogs.cdc.gov/publichealthmatters/2011/05/preparedness-101-zombie-apocalypse/
0301 cut back into Republic network programming of Alex Jones. The local commercial transitions are not smooth, evidently automated. Among products on Red Dawn website, which doesn`t mention the pirate, is ``Tacticle nylon gear``; are those related to testicals? I would not be surprised if Red Dawn is responsible for running the pirate. If not, they certainly know who is, in order to advertise on it.
This was previously reported in DXLD 11-31, from July 27 posts on the radio-info.com Oklahoma board:
``It's on the SE side of town off of Sooner Rd. (Ryan Beam, ibid.) That's pretty good coverage. Is it a legitimate station or translator?
(Scooby214, ibid.) Try 6215 SE 89th. Been there, DF'ed that. Tinfoil hat not included. LOL! (OKCRadioGuy, ibid.)``
However that would be 74 blox due south of Red Dawn. A frequent `national` advertiser on 102.3 from Republic/GCN/Alex Jones is Berkey Water Purifiers, http://www.berkeywater.com with which Adam Lock is involved in his post-WWCR career. Remember him? He was program director(?) and appeared on `Ask WWCR` before the coup a few years ago.
There are licensed 102.3 stations in OK at Woodward, Antlers, and Sand Springs (the latter being KRMG-740`s new FM simulcaster). It`s a hefty 50 kW on a once-class-A channel, and KWDQ is 100 kW, both of which can get into OKC`s edges, especially with a little help from the troposphere. FCC FM Query also shows there are APPs for 102.3 in Del City, right next to MWC, as well as OKC proper. If one of those comes thru, goodbye pirate --- unless the applicant is the pirate operator. What we now hear on 102.3 is the same programming that was on 107.1 a few years ago from a house just north of downtown OKC, and it could certainly move again, frequentially and even geographically.
FCC FM Query also shows a 102.3 gospel-huxter translator APP for Keno, Oklahoma. What? Altho there are casinos all over OK, never heard of that place. Google map showing service contour has it centered near Klamath Falls, OREGON. http://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?list=0&facid=139148
