Subject: [HCDX] Reaparece en Internet la emisora Radio M?xico
Internacional
El secretario de Educaci?n P?blica, Alonso Lujambio, anunci? que partir de enero de 2011 se retomar? a trav?s de Internet la emisora Radio M?xico Internacional del Instituto Mexicano de la Radio (IMER), que desapareci? en 2004.
Al clausurar los primeros cursos radiof?nicos sobre la Independencia Nacional, indic? que esta emisora tendr? continuidad v?a digital a trav?s de Radio 20-10, que ”informar? al mundo sobre el quehacer nacional y celebrar? la mexicanidad desde todos sus ?mbitos”, detall?.
Ante la directora del IMER, Ana Cecilia Terrazas Vald?s, destac? que en la actual coyuntura hist?rica, una de las metas del gobierno federal es la difusi?n del conocimiento hist?rico para fomentar m?s el amor al pa?s.
Explic? que a trav?s de Radio 20-10 se realiz? el curso que consisti? en 25 programas radiof?nicos difundidos del 19 de julio al 20 de agosto, en cuyo examen para acreditarlo participaron 50 mil personas, quienes obtuvieron un promedio de 9.1 de calificaci?n.
El funcionario explic? que el curso lo tomaron mexicanos que viven en diferentes partes de la Rep?blica Mexicana y en naciones como Alemania, Argentina, Brasil Canad?, China, Venezuela, entre otras.
Record? que Radio 20-10 transmite m?s de 65 producciones originales, entre radionovelas, c?psulas, cursos, historia de la m?sica, del periodismo, el pensamiento, el teatro, la econom?a, poes?a literatura, entrevistas de fondo, y Discutamos M?xico, que es otro de los esfuerzos culturales del gobierno federal.
Parte de estos esfuerzos, abund?, ha sido la entrega de 27 millones de libros ”Viaje por la historia de M?xico”, de Luis Gonz?lez y Gonz?lez, a todos los hogares mexicanos, la venta de 60 mil ejemplares de ”Historia de M?xico” creado por el Fondo de Cultura Econ?mica.
Indic? tambi?n que el 5 de septiembre ser? inaugurada la Galer?a Nacional con 500 valiosas piezas para los mexicanos nunca antes reunidas, como el Acta de Independencia de 1821, el estandarte guadalupano de Miguel Hidalgo, la silla presidencial de Benito Ju?rez y el original de la Constituci?n de 1917.
Respecto a los pasajes hist?ricos del M?xico postindependiente expuso que el pa?s ha enfrentado en su historia enormes desaf?os e incluso en muchas coyunturas se ha pensado afuera y dentro que su existencia est? en duda y que el pa?s est? en riesgo.
Sin embargo en la historia de los ?ltimos 200 a?os el gran logro pol?tico de los mexicanos ha sido sin lugar a dudas la construcci?n de una convivencia democr?tica, asever? el titular de la Secretar?a de Educaci?n P?blica (SEP).
”Somos los mexicanos de esta generaci?n los que hemos conquistado este logro hist?rico, que quiz? no hemos sabido justipreciar y ponderar con suficiencia, porque a la vez que nos democratizamos tambi?n nos abrimos a la libertad de expresi?n y la cr?tica se volvi? un elemento fundamental de nuestra vida cotidiana”, recalc?.
Lujambio Iraz?bal reiter? su llamado a valorar lo que ”hemos logrado en estos ?ltimos a?os, finalmente: la posibilidad de una convivencia plural entre mexicanos y el respeto cabal que nos merecemos todos a nuestras opiniones y a nuestra critica”.(Yucatan.com.mx)

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs August 23-September 1, 2010
** ANGUILLA [non]. 6090, Caribbean Beacon missing again, Sept 1 at 0618; instead a het, one sounds Brazilian and the other likely Nigerian.
11775, CB still absent from its other frequency, Sept 1 at 1322 and 1400 chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36 reconfirmed on air Monday Aug 23, 1320 carrier weaker than music on 15480.
15476, Aug 24 at 1252, LRA36 carrier detectable.
15476, Sept 1 at 1327 can make out some music, tho weaker than hetted 15480, Poland in Belarussian via Woofferton. 1403 still het between the 4-kHz-aparters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. Quick check of 25m Aug 24 at 0515 found: 11815 RBC best, 11765 SRDA weaker, 11895 a het probably LBV vs Kashgar? Nothing on 11925v Bandeirantes. Also 12175 something vs CODAR, presumably the 11765 spur at 410 kHz, and also trace of it on 11355 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Aug 23: None found 17-8 MHz from 1322 until: 10500, good at 1325; none others.
Firedrake Aug 24:
8400, JBA at 1247; nothing on 10500 until:
10500, very poor at 1405
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Firedrake Aug 25:
10500, JBA at 1244
Firedrake Aug 30:
8400, JBA at 1319; could not be sure it was FD music
(Glenn Hauser, NM, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Firedrake Aug 31:
10500, poor at 1225
(Glenn Hauser, TX, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Firedrake Sept 1:
10500, poor at 1321, gone at 1401
15140, fair at 1328 // 10500, and both also past 1332
No others heard 9-19 MHz.
15520 VP in Chinese with het Sept 1 at 1326, then het goes off; no doubt CNR1 jamming vs V of Tibet 15521v via Tajikistan. At 1351 now hear Chinese with motorboating noise, no het but // 15265 CNR1 jammer against Taiwan, an echo apart from it.
13825, at 1356 Sept 1, CNR1 where I have not heard it before, as R. Mart? 13820 was unusually weak. Nothing at all listed at any time on 13825 by Aoki, EiBi or HFCC, so vacuum probably insucked Sound of Hope and the jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Both RHC frequencies 15360 and 15380, Sept 1 at 1327 have CCI, worse on 15380 with Qur`an from HQS Riyadh, but I can`t find anything else listed on 15360 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, Tue Aug 24 at 1300-1306, just open carrier with hum, 1306 suddenly joining Exotic Indonesia in progress from Banjarmasin, then very good until hit by CRI het at 1357 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
9526-, VOI weak around 1230 Aug 25 in Japanese hour, but at 1301 VG in English, tho slight het audible from 9525, which I don`t hear in OK. But nothing known scheduled on 9525 during this hour.
9526-, VOI English, Monday Aug 30, just open carrier at 1308 and 1328 chex; 1353 recheck now with music; hit with het from CRI at *1357 (Glenn Hauser, NM, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
9526-, VOI, Tuesday Aug 31, at 1331 Banjarmasin guy during another Exotic Indonesia, today including modulation (Glenn Hauser, TX, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 7440, RNZI on wrong frequency instead of usual 11725, Aug 24 at 0511, good YL & YL news interview with labour minister about a tourist killed. No 11675 DRM either, but did not find a wrong DRM frequency. At 0522 recheck, 7440 is gone, so I tune again to 11725, and bang! On it pops at 0523 joining program in progress, and now 11670-11680 DRM is on too. Transmitters/computer control again with a mind of its own, or a deliberate test or something? Anyhow, it certainly disrupted both AM and DRM listeners.
Sept 1 at 0615, 11725 was virtually the OSOB and not much making it on 9 MHz band either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL [and non]. 21655, Sept 1 at 1331, fair with Portuguese music; OSOB, not even Spain audible on 21610, 21570 or 21540. Unusual, since RDPI is scheduled on 21655 this early only on weekends and this was midweek. By 1355 the only station on band had become Libya on 21695, very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265, WINB, Aug 25 at 1245, Brother Scare and another speaker, VP with CODAR, gone by 1300 (Glenn Hauser, NM, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370, WTJC, Sept 1 at 1315 preacher distorted but low modulation, often a symptom of louder spurs but none found, as fundamental was not very strong; by 1404 also had problem from WWRB 9385 splash extending from 9360 to 9410 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11830 // 11910 WYFR, Sept 1 at 1358 once again filling with Clair de Lune on piano, but no QSY announcement, which we had logged two or three times as totally wrong; instead promo for some FR publication, and on to next show at 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297, SASASAM, Sept 1 at 0617 fair with music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6043, approx., carrier causing weak het against KBS 6045 via Sackville, Sept 1 at 0620. Normally KBS is hetless; a Latin American variant? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7270, Aug 25 at 1327, vocal music, and flutter, or is it a fast SAH? Not too much QRhaM, 1328 sounds like Malay, 1330 no timesignal, still talking, then into music; 1338 loses to QRhaM. I would like to think this was Wai FM, MALAYSIA, but PBS Nei Menggu and AIR Chennai in Sinhala are also scheduled (Glenn Hauser, NM, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9885, Sept 1 around 1310 open carrier. Likely VOA Greenville still on after Spanish until 1300; recheck 1342 still/again OC but off at 1343* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Brazil, 9665.45, Radio Voz Missionaria, 1002-1015, Noted a male in Portuguese language Religious comments. The male sounded like the preacher named David Miranda heard on Radio Victoria, Peru in the mornings. Later a female joins in the activities. Signal was poor with noise. (Chuck Bolland, September 2, 2010)
Korea N. 9650, Voice Of Korea, 1015-1030, Noted Japanese language comments presented by a
female. At 1019 a male comments also in Japanese. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, September 2, 2010)
Brazil, 9645.41, Radio Bandeirantes, 1021-1030, Noted both a male and female in Portuguese language comments here. Between the noise and the weak signal, there’s not much left of this station by 1030. (Chuck Bolland, September 2, 2010)
Philippines, 9615, Radio Veritas, 1033-1045, Noted a male and female in Chinese language comments – probably religious? Noted a very good signal at this time with no fading. (Chuck Bolland, September 2, 2010)
Indonesia, 9525.947, Voice of Indonesia, 1048-1100, At tune in heard a musical interlude. During this period, the signal was good with just slight fading. (Chuck Bolland, September 2, 2010)
Indonesia, 9680.071, RRI Jakarta, 1100-1115, At tune in, noted Qu’ran type chanting in progress. This was followed by a male and female in Indonesian comments. At 1101 a male gives ID and more chanting follows. Another full ID at 1104 with National Anthem. Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, September 2, 2010)
Lots of noise this morning possible caused by the hurricane off the Atlantic Coast.

** ANGUILLA. 11775 still missing Sept 2 at 1245 and 1740 chex, and I believe 6090 was also absent around 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36, Sept 2 at 1319 music JBA with 15480 het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 9580 and 9590, RA, Sept 2 at 1257 just caught the conclusion of Phillip Adams` Late Night Live interview about commercial talk radio in Australia, with author of a new book, “Changing Stations“. Here`s the page about it:
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/latenightlive/stories/2010/3000988.htm
“Voices from the Street === listen now | download audio
Over a century before we had reality television and the internet and half a century before we had talkback radio, the scope for Australians to participate in media was enormous. Bridget Griffen-Jones tells the history of participatory media in Australia.
Guests — Bridget Griffen-Foley [sic], Director of the Centre for Media History at Macquarie University; ARC Queen Elizabeth II Fellow; presenter of the 2010 Annual History Council Lecture and the Annual Henry Mayer Lecture 2010“ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 2:
9380, poor at 1229, with stronger CW QRM sending numbers only (not cut numbers = letters), CUBA? But that went off at 1230 while FD continued
10500, fair at 1232 // 9380; 1318 both gone
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450, VOT, JBA, Sept 2 at 1240; by 1318 could make out some music. So was there a Live from Turkey this Thursday? This time the 02.09 audio file was up by 1730, so I check it: no, program summary says after the news there would just be Agenda, Balkan Agenda, and Question of the Month (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Following yesterday`s observation of distorted undermodulation, WTJC now missing from 9370, Sept 2 at 1233, 1317, 1747 chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser travelogs OK-NM-TX, August 23-31, 2010
My trip log August 23-31 thru NW OK, NE NM, back thru TX and OK.
Referencing the FM Atlas XXI, NRC AM Log, FCC Query info:
In four sexions: FM, AM, TIS/HAR, and TV, then chrono order each, all times and dates strictly UT, u.o.s.:
FM:
Travelling west on US 412 from Enid OK to Clayton NM, Aug 23-24:
92.1, something in Spanish east of Woodward, assumed KMZE there, but FMA has it as rock format, nothing about Spanish. It`s only 2.2 kW, not one of those full-powers on an ex-Class A 3 kW-limit channel. Surely we are too far from Enid`s LPFM KAMG on 92.1 which is Spanish religion. Next check around 2215 UT, however, 92.1 was in English with sportstalk. Both KMZE??
89.5, KTOT Spearman TX, the full-power High Plains Public Radio relay (of KANZ 91.1 Garden City KS) was already heard well at Mooreland OK east of Woodward, where KGOU will soon put on its own relay on 88.1. KTOT had NPR ATC at 2215 UT.
97.9, KGNC-FM 97.9 Amarillo TX reaching east of Woodward with channel 7 weather at 2227.
Checking FM Atlas maps for Mooreland: 107.9 nothing; 104.5 something weak, not local. 89.1 with gospel rock, i.e. satellator of KEFX 88.9 Twin Falls ID; real call K206CI.
FM Atlas map for Woodward: all frequencies active except 88.1.
95.9, at 2300 surprised to hear NPR ATC. It`s another relay of KCCU Lawton on the air since the last time I went thru, KZCU, never heard in Enid due to KXLS 95.7. FMA says KZCU wants to move to Balko OK, which is considerably to the west in the eastern panhandle. (I assume this is because KGOU relay is pending on 88.1 and KZCU relay will then fill an area more in need of it.)
But what is its real transmitter site? 95.9 was still good at the US 283 junxion S of Laverne, but losing it toward Balko, and inaudible by the time we passed thru there at 2354. FCC shows site is on the other side of Woodward to its ESE:
http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/FMTV-service-area?x=FM542962.html
and there is no application or CP to move it to Balko. What KCCU really needs to do is get us a desperately needed local public radio transmitter in Enid, even if it`s only a translator.
91.9, approaching the OK panhandle and Beaver county, at 2328, “Gospel Greats“ program, 2330 multi-station ID starting with KPDR in Wheeler TX, including one in Amarillo, but none with 91.9 frequency. Closest listee in OK on 91.9 is KLXO in Beaver; FMA says only 1000 watts, horizontal only, and 15m HAAT. Unfortunately, neither reference makes it easy to tell what stations are related in a regional group or network, which is extremely important, determining programming and what is // to what.
By 2355 as we are going thru Balko, closer to Beaver, 91.9 is indeed stronger with “Gospel Greats“, and ID as the “Kingdom Keys Network“, ad for pregnancy center (= anti-abortion) in Amarillo, which has a 3-minute program at some other time of day. However, I now think this 91.9 was the KPDR translator in Perryton TX nearby right across the border, K220IZ.
Details on KKN here: http://www.kingdomkeysradio.org/ including 4 main stations and several translators. I think KPDR in Wheeler was the original, later adding the much bigger market Amarillo; so does it now originate in Amarillo? P O Box mailing address is there, and a map puts office near I-27 in SW Amarillo.
90.1, E of Guymon with KJIL ID et al., including KNGM in Guymon, also heard on 88.9 direct with 25 kW. KJIL, a gospel huxter based in Kansas has lots of relays and translators also in CO, OK and TX. This 90.1 would also be in Perryton TX, K211CF.
91.1, E of Bryan`s Corner OK, the US 83 junxion at 2359 with NPR, i.e. HPPR direct from KANZ Garden City, still stronger than its relay in Guymon KGUY 91.3 which is starting to show.
92.7, KKBS Guymon OK, at 0002 UT Aug 24, “still local with more power“ also on 101.5 in Liberal KS; hard rock. Also saw billboard to this effect. 92.7 is 11 kW while KSMM on 101.5 is 100 kW ERP.
99.1, with Bible story, at 0006 // 88.9 and 90.1, therefore the original KJIL, 100 kW in Copeland KS.
106.1, KENW translator is still here from high atop Sierra Grande, COL Des Moines NM, and audible already west of Boise City OK on SH 325 at 1750 UT Aug 24. KENW, the public radio station from ENMU in Portales, with a beautiful-music format in the daytime, classical at night, plans to replace 106.1 with a higher-power 3 kW non-translator at same site on 88.5, KENU which will be impervious to being bumped off, but not heard yet.
93.5 is another KENW translator in the town of Clayton NM, but much lower power and tower, not audible until close-in, and in W OK, still getting something else on 93.5, probably KLMR in Lamar CO.
93.7, at 1846 on NM 406 at Moses NM, Spanish and English PSAs, and ID as Magic 93.7, Lubbock weather in English. FMA has this as KXTQ in Spanish with latin format.
105.3, KHOD, also on Sierra Grande, with COL Des Moines, but main (only?) studio in Rat?n, which has been hit by FCC fines for flauting the rules. I never got around to tuning in, but saw its office still in Rat?n next to the classic El Portal Hotel, where we were looking forward to staying again, but in the last two years it had a fire and is now closed. We couldn`t see much fire damage from the outside, altho the some of the windows were boarded up. It had quite a collexion of antiques in the lobby, and artwork around the hallways, some of which we are glad to have photographed in case they succumbed to the fire. Faulty electrical wiring allegedly caused it, and we are not that surprised.
90.5, new frequency of the KUNM Albuquerque translator for Eagle Nest, makes it almost to Rat?n on US 64, no longer clashing with the KRCC Colorado Springs translator in Rat?n on 91.1. Or is it still on? KRCC site http://www.krcc.org/about/index_stats.html does not list it, but instead 91.7 serving Trinidad CO and Rat?n NM, which is really KCCS, not a translator, from Starkville CO.
In the Moreno Valley around Angelfire NM (no relation to one of our websites), we could get some Albuquerque stations direct from Sand?a Crest, including KANW 89.1 and KUNM 89.9. KUNM also via 90.5 Eagle Nest and 91.9 from somewhere: Taos is closest but low power and low tower on other side of mountains; Las Vegas also low power and further; Espa?ola maybe with 5.9 kW and a respectable 161.5 m AAT.
Altho we had not noticed it before, 91.7 had KRCC into Moreno, i.e. KCCS as mentioned above, jazz and KRCC ID at 1843 UT. On the US 64 road from Angelfire to Taos we were also getting KHFM 95.5 which is not really in Albuquerque and KSFR 101.1, not really in Santa Fe. While in Santa Fe we enjoyed a talk by Jim Hightower at a local bookstore as a fundraiser for KSFR. Among many other non-DX events.
Before leaving Santa Fe we looked for RDS displays on the DX-398 from ABQ/SF. Several stations with no RDS are omitted. Despite pegging signals, several of them were slow to display the RDS after the RDS icon appeared, and almost thought they were transmitted blank.
89.9, NPR_____ static; also barely visible via 91.9 Espa?ola
92.3, 92.3KRST alternating with COUNTRY
93.3, _KOB-FM_ (with a space on each side, here indicated by underscore, but plain space on the display), alternating with song info, and phone number 669-1010, for requests?
94.1, WWW.94RO / ROCK.COM alternating, overlapping fields
96.3, 96.3 / THE_MOUN / IN was all I saw, presumably meaning MOUNTAIN, scrolling to left
97.3, KISS_973_ scrolling left, one letter at a time
99.5, MAGIC_FM static = continuous
100.3, 100.3 / THE_PEAK
102.5, KIOT102.5 scrolling left alt song info, like IRON MAN
105.1, LA JEFA scrolling left alt song info, like AMANTES ESCONDIDOS
107.9, 107.9 / BIG I alternating, song info like SMILE
A strange thing as I was stepping up frequency from 89.9 KUNM — on 90.1 the RDS window showed SANGEANA. Never noticed this before in OK or anywhere else, but must be an internal receiver-generated thingie. Back in Enid I see it is still doing that when listening to KCSC 90.1. One can also set up any display on any frequency, but I am sure I never did that on this Radio Shack DX-398 clone, not Sangean ATS-909.
91.1, KEDP Las Vegas, student station at NM Highlands University, presumed as just heard rock music, audible around Bernal exit of I-25, but it has some CCI as close to LV as the US 84 exit. Nothing very likely, but maybe medium power stations in Clovis or Bel?n. Wish I had time to find whoever at NMHU is responsible for all the FM CPs they have around the state, and what their programming plans are.
Eager to revisit my old home town of Santa Rosa, and check out its radio scene. 95.9 KSSR used to become audible on I-40 only within a few miles of SR, obviously lower power than listed from its favorable spot on the ridge east side of town. Glad I started checking soon after passing Apache Springs on US 84 from Las Vegas, at 1732 August 30, as KSSR was already inbooming. Now it`s 50 kW ERP and covers Guadalupe county and beyond, later heard almost to Tucumcari eastward. Altho FCC listing at http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/fmq?list=0&facid=84190 still shows licensed for 1.5 kW, only a CP for 50 kW.
It now merits a blue highway sign at the Guadalupe county line advising us to tune to 95.9 for weather info, or http://www.kssrradio.com
The website even has a listen live button: mms://74.50.132.142:959/ — but not working when I checked.
At 1744 heard the “KSSR Morning Show“, ID “95.9 The Lion“ complete with roar. (Lions are the local highschool teams), mentioned wind turbines north of Pastura.
KSSR-FM is certainly not all-Spanish as shown by FM Atlas XXI, which also still lists 95.9 as KKJY, but FCC shows callsign history with begin dates:
KSSR-FM 07/13/2010
KKJY 03/03/2009
KIVA 10/29/2002
KRSR 11/21/1997
KAWP 08/01/1997
It`s pretty clear that KSSR has given up on AM 1340, but it`s still licensed per FCC: http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=29504
We visited the site and took some photos. The original KSSR building next door to the car museum has been refurbished with new siding, and now looks more like a residence. Beyond the tower and transmitter site to the east is the new KSSR building, both quite small.

Besides KNLK on 91.9, which carries almost to Puerto de Luna, the ex-translator of KANW 89.1 Albuquerque, the only other SR station on air is 103.1 LPFM carrying EWTN from Birmingham (English; any Spanish at all?), KSRL-LP. At 2249 it was radiating dead air for a while.
While there we also tried to hear 88.7 from Encino, which is west of Vaughn on US 285. FMA shows a KXNM there with 40 kW, but no sign of it, nor at earlier check from another close point, US 84 junxion with I-40 west of SR. FCC shows it as a CP owned by Torrance County from a site WNW of Encino. So unlikely gospel huxter; to be a community/county radio station?
Only weak signals audible in SR on 94.7 and 107.1, surely not the local translators listed of KFLQ and KBAC.
Other media news from Santa Rosa: since last we visited, the Santa Rosa News, a weekly, went out of business. It had been in a circulation war for a number of years with an upstart, The Guadalupe County Communicator, which now represents the Santa Rosa area. We skimmed thru a few months` weekly issues in the Moise Library, and never found any mention of the radio station, unlike the SR News which had lots of ads for KSSR, nor any mention of a website; but found one incipient by Googling: http://www.guadalupecommunicator.com/
Between Santa Rosa and Tucumcari we have a KENW translator on 90.7 in Montoya, and now in Tucum itself KENM 89.3, audible by mile 298, replacing 103.9 translator.
Crossing the TX panhandle:
99.7 at 0045 UT Aug 31, just into TX, Spanish music, tho FM Atlas has KBZD Amarillo as “99.7 The Party“. Must be new format. 0100 heard “99.7 Recuerdo“ jingle, and ID “KBZD [only the letters pronounced in English], Amarillo, Recuerdo 99.7, una estaci?n de Tejas Br?adcasting“. Same owner as 1010 also Spanish, and 1310.
89.5, HPPR via KTOT Spearman TX, at 1759 Aug 31 with multi-station ID including KJJP in Amarillo (they also have KTXP in Bushland on 91.5, just west of AMA). While in the double-boot city, I had failed to look for KJJP which is on 105.7. HPPR translators also were on 91.3 and 94.9 in the AMA area, but did not hear them, no longer needed? FM Atlas XXI has KJJP on 105.7 on the map and the location listing, but ex-KAEZ in the frequency listing, an FMistake. HPPR announcement before 1800 said NY Philharmonic would be “next“, but it was not: 1801 NPR News, 1806 syndicated Julie Amacher on Classical 24.
Since we were passing directly through Arnett and Vici [vigh-sigh, not wee-kee] OK on US 60, checked for the new stations in FM Atlas on 104.9, 97.7, but neither to be heard around 1811.
This afternoon we wanted to hear NPR talkshows, but HPPR was in classical, so found the former on 89.1, at 1814, Talk of the Nation, already VG, tho all the way from KYCU Clinton OK, 30 kW with nominal range of 55 km. Altho we were closest to that around Seiling, gospel huxter CCI was increasing, and at 1901, there was “United News and Information“ which admits it is a slanted religious `news` network at http://uninews.com/uni/home.html — must be 92-watt K206CI in Mooreland, which we heard on the way out when passing thru there. By 1930 near Fairview, Jesus music has overtaken KYCU on 89.1, but now it`s probably Enid`s translator K206CA of Tulsa`s KNYD 90.5. We used to be able barely to get KYCU in Enid, mixing with another public radio, KMUW Wichita, while K206CA was silent for a few years.
AM:
1440, W of Elmwood in the OK panhandle, Spanish here at 2349 UT Aug 23, with a fast SAH, maybe 15 Hz or so. We are closer to Amarillo`s KPUR, but it`s not Spanish per NRC AM Log, while KTNO in The Metroplex (COL University Park) is — and it`s 50 kW, favorable direxionally unlike the CO and KS 1440 stations. We also get KTNO in Enid, but it takes some skywave to kick it in.
1570, had Spanish at this time, 2350, already skywave from XERF; and at 2351, 1640 with Royals baseball, i.e. KFXY from back in Enid, departing from its Faith 1640 gospel music format.
670, KLTT Commerce City/Denver CO, the 50 kW daytime gospel huxter which barely makes it to Enid on groundwave, understandably stronger in northern NM, enough to tell that it is running IBOC, messing up 660 and 680, which I thankfully can`t detect in Enid.
950, driving thru Espa?ola NM, KDCE was splattering some 50 kHz above and below, intolerable. But wait till we get to Santa Fe!
810, KSWV, is even filthier than KDCE, heavy splash 790-830, and audible as far as 900. We may have been close to the site on Cerillos Road, but it was the same all over the city, no excuse. August 30 at 1607 UT, KSWV splash was even audible on KKOB 770!
We also found a number of mixing products on the caradio:
1540 and 1120, leapfrog mixes of KTRC 1260 and KVSF 1400 (the two swapped calls a few years ago). They are on the same tower. 1540 mix also impossiblizes reception of second harmonic of KKOB 770 Albuquerque which we used to get in ABQ; and the co-channel night-only relay on 770 in Santa Fe may also harmonicize, much lower power, but much shorter range.
1620, 2 x 810 KSWV, with an ad in English at the moment, 1608 UT, not 100% SS.
1710, mix of 810 and 1260, both in English, 810 being the “AM 810 News Center“; leapfrog 450 kHz away. Maybe there is another one at 360 kHz. KSWV is not at the same site as 1260/1400.
Daytime MW range on I-25 just N of Santa Fe extended to XEJUA 640 Ju?rez, KTSM 690 and KAMA-750 (Spanish) El Paso, KTNN 660 Window Rock, weaker KHAC 880 Window Rock.
580 Lubbock TX also has good range, heard in this area as well as in the TX and OK Panhandles, once overcoming WIBW. NRC AM Log 2010-2011 shows KRFE with only 500 watts day, AC format, but I was hearing nostalgia music. The website http://www.am580lubbock.com/ calls itself “easy listening“ but mostly talkshows, and major lobe to the WNW.
On an excursion to Puerto de Luna, S of Santa Rosa, we were able to pull in the following in the daytime at 2106-2113 UT August 30:
1210, KGYN Guymon OK
1060, open carrier with whine, good strength. Must be KIJN, Farwell TX, 10 kW with Spanish religion. Someone back east was wondering whether this is on the air: yes, and no.
900, agritalk, must be KFLP Floydada TX, “all ag, all day“ per NRC.
800, JBA something, but KSWV Santa Fe 810 splash a problem even here. I was expecting XEROK Ciudad Ju?rez, certainly not running any 150 kW as still listed by WRTH 2010. Could be KDDD Dumas TX which is now Spanish per NRC.
620, Disney music, all the way from Plano TX, KMKI which I also get in Enid, plus IBOC. See also 530 under TIS sexion.
570, when we were 19 minutes from TX at 0019 UT Aug 31, KSNM Las Cruces had a fast SAH and CCI, most likely from KLIF Dallas; and KRFE ACI.
830, looked for KMUL Farwell TX, Spanish, as we were closest along the border, but not heard, off the air?
1210, KGYN Guymon OK, after 0500 UT in Amarillo was very poor, with WOAI IBOCQRM. KGYN must have really been direxional westward at night.
1310, KZIP Amarillo, we noticed accompanied by IBOC noise in the daytime, unlisted as such.
1550 is the shameful station in Amarillo, axually licensed to nearby Canyon, KZYK. NRC AM Log says ESPN Deportes, 1000 watts day, 219 night, 500 PSRA. Aug 31 at 0514 UT could hear some low-modulation Spanish music buried by rumbling noise, same at next check 1222. Could it be some QRMotel? No, still there everywhere on caradio; at 1336, I find that the rumble on 1550 spreads out 100 kHz above and below! Forget about hearing anything else in Amarillo on 1450-1650. Next check at 1456 as we are heading out of Amarillo to the NE on US 60, modulation has increased but distorted, so we can tell it is ESPN Deportes, and the noise blob has decreased to only 50 kHz above and below, probably only due to our increased distance from it.
1650, at 1506 UT when we are just east of the airport, hear a mix of KGNC 710 plus KIXZ 940, not at the same site.
640, WWLS Moore OK, reaches at least as far as Amarillo on daytime 5 kW groundwave, not too surprising as KGNC 710 does the same far into OK with 10 kW.
TIS/HAR observations:
1610 and 530, nothing heard around Santa Fe; 1610 used to be active.
1610, sign on I-25 by Pecos National Monument says tune to this frequency, but nothing heard.
On I-40 around Santa Rosa, the HARs on 1610 and 1680 are still on the air, long after reconstruxion has been completed. 1680 first noticed around mile 260. 1610 was very good at the Colonias exit 267, but I had never found out their exact locations and never spotted likely antenna masts. A few years ago, the tagline was “don`t drink & drive — arrive alive“. Now the two are relaying NWS weather robot; everywhere it`s “partly cloudy“ with exactly the same intonation. But 1610 is interrupted EVERY 42 seconds, and with less of a pause, 1680 every 40 seconds, for a YL message which says:
“The New Mexico Department of Transportation, District 4, welcomes you and your family to the Land of Enchantment. Seat belts save lives. Remember to buckle up and drive safely“.
These far too frequent interruptions make it just about impossible to follow the weather info. BUT — altho the NWS relays are synchronized, the identical DOT spiels are not, so the interruptions come at different times. If you`re lucky, as soon as one NWS is cut off, flip to the other frequency, back and forth.
NWS also gives MDT timechex on the hour and half hour. At 1905 UT Aug 24, ID as “WXJ33, 162.550 for north central NM from Albuquerque“. This one really serves Santa Fe, altho it may be controlled from ABQ, but its official service area does not include Guadalupe County! So why is it relayed here? http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/Maps/PDF/WXJ33.pdf
These two have pretty good range, both audible down to the end of the paved road past Puerto de Luna, some 12 miles south of Santa Rosa. Eastward on I-40, 1680 remained stronger than 1610, so 1680 must be further east. I could still hear them at mile 301.

1610, east of Tucumcari, another NMDOT is heard around mile 347, but this one just runs the seat-belts notice, no NWS. Not found in FCC, searching Quay, nor neighboring Curry, Harding counties. Seems none of them feel any need to ID by call or location.
1670, we got off at the most westward I-40 exit to Tucum, and did not see any signs about this one, just ran across it when we were beyond Tucum to the east: A bit too early for WTDY, at 0014 UT Aug 31, and besides, it`s a local loop, gist: take exit 332, for the Dinosaur Museum at Mesalands Community College, where there is now also a single wind power turbine dominating the town`s skyline, apparently also housing “the world`s highest classroom“; and mentioned http://www.mesalands.edu
Nothing there about their radio station, but FCC search finds:

530, generally not suitable for TIS/HAR in northern/eastern NM due to KNMX 540 Las Vegas, but as we were about to leave NM on I-40 E of Tucumcari, one became audible with the same NMDOT4 seat-belt notice as on 1610, and about same strength, no NWS. Probably San Jon or Glenrio. I also heard 530 with same loop earlier at Puerto de Luna, but can`t be sure it was from same transmitter. Most, probably all of the old NM TIS loops with Ricardo Montalb?n are long gone.

Amarillo still has VHF NWS YL robot relay on 1610, very useful. More cities should do it if a frequency like this be available. Becoming audible around the Channing exit 37 on I-40, long before a sign appeared about it at mile 60 on the west side of AMA. Strangely enough, FCC does not come up with any 1610 in Potter County.
TV:
Not in a position to tune off-air DTV, but on the motel TV in Santa Fe, noticed Albuquerque stations KOB-4 (RF 26, NBC) and KRQE-13 (RF 13, CBS) running rapid crawlers in fine white print across top screen near top of some hours, impossible to copy without taping and freezing, IDing all their translators — are they all DTV now, or some still analog, mixed? Not stated. The usual callsigns K##XX with the channel (virtual?) number in the middle, except for one run by KRQE: WPNB264 in Apache Sprs. (Springs)!
What kind of translator is that? Not found in FCC TV Query, but searching the entire FCC site on the callsign we get one hit:
http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-246252A1.txt
Below is a listing of licenses that have been acted upon by the Commission. TT - TV Translator Relay
Licensee Name Action Date Call Sign Act.
EMMIS TELEVISION LICENSE CORPORATION 04/ 15/ 2004 WPNB264 M
Which is not very informative, not even giving the location or frequency, but apparently residents of Apache Springs are expected to get KRQE by tuning in directly to this relay transmitter. Wait a minute — Emmis is not the licensee of KRQE!
We happened to pass directly thru Apache Springs later, which is a wide place in the road from Las Vegas to Santa Rosa. Only a few scattered domiciles were visible from US 84, and no unusual transmitting or receiving antennas.
The other major station, KOAT (RF 7, ABC), rolls, not scrolls a list of translators covering the lower right portion of the screen, just before 9 am local.
One OK TV note upon returning to Enid: as promised, KWTV, CBS in OKC, has quit RF channel 9 for 39 as of Aug 31 after months of simulcasting — except as noted Sept 2 afternoon and evening UT Sept 3, 9 is still on the air as OldKWTV, but with this constant slide, text centered, and silent audio:

Subject: [HCDX] SW Radio Africa broadcasts jammed despite unity government
The audio clip above reveals what Zimbabweans heard yesterday when they tuned into SW Radio Africa (SWRA) to hear impartial objective Zimbabwean news. It is a further act of censorship, another effort to suppress free speech and the right of Zimbabweans to access information.
SWRA have done an incredible job ensuring news-deprived Zimbabweans still have access to impartial objective information despite the Zanu PF government’s passing of repressive legislation like the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA). This oddly named piece of legislature has served to deny independent media sources permission to operate newspapers, radio or TV in Zimbabwe. SWRA, broadcasting from outside Zimbabwe on short wave, have managed to provide independent news to parts of the country that email and online news sources cannot reach. As such they have been a lifeline of information to oppressed Zimbabweans.
It has also made SWRA a thorn in the side for members of the political elite who feel most threatened by a critical and enquiring press that seeks to expose corruption and human rights abuses.
SWRA have been jammed before, but their article on their website about this instance conveys shock at the fact that, this time, the jamming is happening under the inclusive government which includes former opposition parties that have supposedly fought for democratic principles. In fact, just last week, the MDC-T party launched a new party card, describing it as the ‘master card for real change’. What’s worse, this is the second act of censorship occuring under the unity government this week.
Robert Mugabe’s regime has resumed jamming news broadcasts from SW Radio Africa, despite the existence of the coalition government with the MDC, that is supposed to guarantee freedom of expression. On Wednesday evening the first half hour of our broadcast featuring Newsreel was drowned out by a heavy noise, sounding like a slow playing record.
SW Radio Africa listeners told us that soon after the news ended the jamming noise stopped and the rest of the broadcast featuring current affairs programming could be heard clearly.
Information Communication Technology Minister Nelson Chamisa [MDC-T] told Newsreel he was not aware of the jamming. He said; ‘We will have to start gathering our facts on the matter before coming up with our position.’ Deputy Information Minister Murisi Zwizwai’s phone went unanswered the whole day. But a source told us the Central Intelligence Organisation, which falls under the President’s Office, is running the operation.
It is sad that despite the fact Zimbabwe does have an inclusive government, where two of the parties supposedly whole heartedly support the notion of a free press and Zimbabweans right to information, that SWRA are once again being jammed.
In 2005 Mugabe’s regime began jamming SW Radio Africa frequencies just before the controversial Operation Murambatsvina. It was reported that the jamming equipment and expertise was provided by China and at the time we spoke to a soldier who says he was sent to China to be trained in jamming techniques. The jamming was then extended to include signals from Voice of America’s Studio 7, in clear violation of international laws.
In an earlier email today, SWRA wrote:
For the past few weeks we have been concerned that jamming tests were being carried out on our broadcasts as various radio hams around the world have been sending us regular reports of a faintly audible music loop.
Unfortunately it was confirmed that these were tests, as jamming began in earnest last night (1st September – attached please find an MP3 of the jamming). It appears to be specifically targeting our news bulletin. This could be because there are power shortages/lack of funds to target the entire broadcast.
Last time we were so severely jammed only ZANU PF were in power and we had no one to complain to. This time we have a ‘unity government’ and I do hope the jamming will be a topic for discussion at the media conference in Harare and that all media organisations – such as MISA/MAZ/MMPZ – will take this issue up at every government forum available to them.
We will, of course, be relentless in trying to get hold of the various ministers from both the MDC and ZPF to hold them to account for the fact that we are supposed to be moving forward to greater media and information freedom – we hope all other media will do the same and not let the matter drop.(http://www.sokwanele.com/thisiszimbabwe/archives/5988)

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs September 3-4, 2010
** ANGUILLA. 6090, DGS/PMS/TUN/CB still off the air another night, Sept 3 at 0613 check; and likewise day frequency 11775 at 1223.
11775, back on the air Sept 4 at 1326 with PMS, but seems weaker than before; perhaps only able to resume at reduced power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, LRA36, Fri Sept 3 at 1228 fair with music, ranging S3-S9, stronger than hetted 15480. Never heard anything but pop, romantic music at further chex 1230, 1249, 1304, 1328. RNASG could be doing so much more to promote and disseminate Antarctican culture (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 3:
8400, poor at 1217; no other found
Firedrake Sept 4:
8400, good at 1316
10500, very poor at 1323
11500, very poor at 1336, slightly weaker than // 10500
16100, good at 1333 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 13580, Sept 4 at 1452, continuous 1-kHz tone test, poor signal. Fortunately, RHC 13680 was off, so no leapfrog on 13580 mixing with 13780 still on, as heard earlier on other side 13880; 1459 to open carrier; then timesignal ending early at 1459:32! And R. Cairo opening presumed Albanian as scheduled; heard Qahira, kHz mentioned. This is 250 kW, 330 degrees from Abu Zabaal, consequently also USward just a bit beyond Albania. Modulation seemed sufficient in this unusual case (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DGIEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525.9, VOI, Sept 3 at 1316, Focus segment on monitoring emissions of gh gases (with a long A). VG signal unlike yesterday, but with hum, and split-second audio dropouts every few sex. It`s always something. Also again hearing lite het from nothing scheduled on 9525.0.
9525.9, VOI, Sept 4 at 1312 still suffering frequent audio drop-outs more annoying during music than talk; Today in History mainly about ex-colonial mistress Queen Wilhelmina and her long reign. Again am hearing slight het from something unknown on 9525.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. Hmong World Christian Radio missing from WHRI 11785 during its previously scheduled Sat 1300-1330 transmission; just hearing // 11805 etc., CNR1 jammer against VOA Chinese via Thailand during this hour (not Tinang as in Aoki).
Indeed this has disappeared from WHR online program skeds; WHRI-6 on 11785 at 1300-1330 Saturday now shows Lester Sumrall Teachings, but when it`s only unpaid WHR filler they don`t bother to turn on the SW transmitters.
Searching on Hmong, one gets only this via Angel 3, 9930, i.e. T8BZ Palau:
2200-2230 6:00-6:30 PM Fr,Sa,Su Hmong World Ministries Gia Tou Lee
That presumably means local Sat, Sun, Mon mornings in target area; goodbye, Hminnesota (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, RNZI with coverage of the quake around Christchurch (whose name seems not to have been a deterrent), Sept 4 at 0533, interviews with people and officials in the area. I expect a lot of regular programming got pre?mpted, and fortunately Rangitaiki is unmarred on the North Island. By 1339 check of fair 6170, however, it was back to music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, KEOR, Sperry-Catoosa-Tulsa has been on most of the time but signal seems weaker than before, such as Sept 2 around 2030 UT; sometimes hard to tell on caradio. But Sept 3 at 1952 check it was definitely missing, no carrier or modulation.
1580, KOKB, Blackwell, continues to lose modulation for large amounts of airtime, but carrier stays on. Noted that way sometime on Sept 2, but at 1950 UT on Sept 3 (over)modulated sports talk was back. Back to OC Sept 4 morning, reaudiblizing the no longer unID Spanish sportstalk: see U S A (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9980, Brother Scare during Sabbath service after amateur Hammond(?) organ performance, circa 1350 UT Sept 4 asking if anyone is hearing 9980, please phone report! Shows how little BS still knows about SW: of course we are hearing this super-signal from WWCR; in fact, we have to attenuate the entire 31m band to avoid hearing crosstalk from BS underneath Indonesia or anything else! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17585, VOA Greenville, worth listening to only on weekends when instead of Music Mix, to deprive African targetees of hearing anything off-topic about Asia, they bring real talk programming: On the Line, axually a TV soundtrack, Saturdays at 1405-1427. Sept 4 tune-in 1410 about the IPCC and whether its head should be removed. Never explained what IPCC stands for after initial reference I missed. Video/audio autolaunches from
http://www.voanews.com/english/programs/tv/64969652.html
where you have to right-click on the image even to find a pause control, as I was listening to Beethoven`s Ninth from BBC Proms!
IPCC = the UN`s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
1427-1429 USG editorial about Al-Shabaab not observing Ramadan, tsk2, by attacking Aug 24 in Somalia. Axually, both Shia and Sunni are exempt from Ramadan if they are in jihad — look it up. This must be the one: text, and audio does not auto-launch:
http://www.voanews.com/policy/editorials/Violence-During-Ramadan-102029918.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 13680, in absence of RHC which supposedly stays here until 1500, altho 13780 was still on, Sept 4 at 1452 was hearing CNR1 jammer, presumably against Sound of Hope as in Aoki only until 1300, and also trouncing R. Liberty Russian via Rampisham, this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370-, WTJC off the air for a second day, Sept 3 at 1220 check. Back on Sept 4 at 1317, overconfident preacher somewhat undermodulated but not very distorted; and still off frequency a bit to the low side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9479, WTWW airing, what else? PPPP, “Rawhide“ tune with new anti-government lyrix, like “tax the hair off their hide“. Ha, ha. Axually we need MORE taxes to get out of the mess we are in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1580, Saturday Sept 4 at 1324, incompetent KOKB Blackwell OK once again wasting watts with open carrier, audiblizing the formerly mysterious Spanish sports talk I had been hearing almost every Saturday (only) for months, mentioning deportes. Tnx to Bruce Winkelman in Tulsa, who was able to hear it last Saturday by nulling his local on 1570, and by his Googling, we now know it`s coming from KHGG Fort Smith AR (city of license Van Buren):

For Immediate Release Contact: Leo Cruz 479-466-2211
Bridging the Gap Consulting, Inc. a marketing and advertising company
focusing in assisting businesses in reaching the ever-growing Hispanic market is proud to announce the launch of the all-Spanish local sports
website: http://www.lazonadeportiva.com
This is dedicated to the local sporting news and events that feature
Latino athletes. La Zona Deportiva will be supported by three Spanish
radio stations that are in Northwest Arkansas, Ft Smith River Valley
and Central Arkansas. We will have highlights, latest news and a
community photo gallery featuring our young Latino youths in sports.
Coming in April every Saturday from 8am to 10am [13-15 UT], La Zona Deportiva will launch an all-Spanish live sports talk show on the following Spanish radio stations: La Pantera 1440 AM in central Arkansas, ESPN Deportes 1580 AM in Ft Smith and the River Valley and Las M?s Mexicana 1140 AM in Northwest Arkansas.
## Bridging The Gap Consulting, Inc.
http://www.bridgingthegapconsultinginc.com
Following their denial of such Spanish sports, previously had virtually ruled out KGAF Gainesville TX, which is almost exactly the same distance from here as KHGG, another prime suspect — but never found anything about KHGG switching to a bit of Spanish Saturday mornings only, on their own website.
1580 gets short shrift compared to the other four stations in the Fort Smith Radio group`s website http://www.sportshog1031.com/ — still can`t find anything about the Spanish diversion, let alone a program schedule for 1580 in particular.
So there are two other AR frequencies doing it too.
1140, KLTK Centerton (studio Rogers), 5 kW daytime
1440, KTUV Little Rock, 5 kW
Both of which are already full Spanish, per NRC AM Log 2010-2011.
So I no longer need to chase the 1580 Spanish as unID. Since the press release refers to 1580 as `ESPN Deportes 1580`, I wonder if there are other Spanish hours under different sponsorship; whenever else I have heard KHGG, has still been in English sports talk, or gospel huxter Sunday morning, not CNN Headline News 24h as in NRC AM log.
Co?rdinates in FCC AM Query indicate it is definitely on the AR side of the border, 1 kW non-direxional, but of course no longer any Tiger Maps; Radio-locator shows it:

(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297.1, SASASAM, chanting at 0614 UT Friday Sept 3; fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15679, Sept 4 at 1406, intermittent 2-way Spanish SSB, het something on 15680, listed R. Farda via Lampertheim (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

elite blog! I’ve bookmarked it and I’ll beback to read more in the future.
Useful information. Lucky me I discovered your site by chance, and I am surprised why this twist of fate didn’t happened in advance! I bookmarked it.
We truly appreciate this completely new Spartacus Gods of the Arena series, it is just slightly quite a bit un-needed physical violence for me personally. Not a chance might I allow the little ones watch this ever, but it is really engaging in general.
His “affair”is a pain in your heart foreverAffair eventsAlthough the pieces of your heart,Although you love him, he does not value you,Although you pay so much, but did not return,
Kelsey Grammer has gone for the idea, 1 more time. You’d probably think shortly after three or more tries, he may well understand better, but a person never train a guy. We are going to see how incredibly long this particular individual endures, I suppose.
I just linked this page on facebook. it is a very interesting article for all.
I am ready to go to Bolivia in 2013, I really enjoy reading about it, I am trying to learn more about Bolivia and about the culture and lifestyle.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
I have a business that will be marketing to Business to Business I am looking at both sides good and bad thank you
Dreamin. I love blogging.Focus on your blog it is great.
And I have faced it. We can communicate on this theme.
hi!,I like your writing very much! share we communicate more about your post on AOL? I require a specialist on this area to solve my problem. Maybe that’s you! Looking forward to see you.
I ran across this information earlier today while at work. Very useful. Sent the website link to myself and will most likely bookmark it once I go back home.
