** CANADA. Re my log of 750 CKJH, Melfort, Saskatchewan, Murray Lycan,
VA1CQ, Halifax, replies: ``As a former Saskatchewan resident long ago,
I'll have you know CKJH studios (Beach Radio) are located only 1 km
from Windsor Slough at the Melfort Golf & Country Club. I suppose this
could qualify as a beach area if you squint your eyes`` (Glenn Hauser,
WORLD OF RADIO 2068)
** MALI. 5995, Jan 8 at 0709, S9+10/20 from ORTM in French with
African flutish music, very nice, good modulation too; and by now no
ACI from Cuba or Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 960, Jan 7 at 0716 UT check, KGWA Enid again in
dead air with algo underneath. Also Jan 8 at 0654 DA; with nulling,
dominant signal is a non-sports talker; KGWA blasts back on at 0659
for Rush ad and ID, 0700 Faux ``news`` starts. Wish I had time and ear
protexion to monitor for DX during nightly protracted open carriers
KGWA so kindly provides. Note: on WOR 2068 I mis-call the understation
heard before from San Angelo TX as KSKL instead of correct KGKL (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2067 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday January 7 at new time of 0130 ex-0100, on WRMI 5010 only,
fair via DomRep KiwiSDR. Expected 7780 instead with music before and
after 0130; at 0155 beepery and no voice announcement before 0159 WRMI
ID; typical behavior of `TIAMS`, now running from 0100.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. (7490.18v), UT Sat Jan 9 at 0100, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`
--- starts right off with paranoid assertions that ``conservative``
media are being ``purged`` from the web; can WBCQ be next in a ``to-do
list`` by evil forces of Biden supporters, behind which is China to
turn the US into communist servitude? Hal Turner fears he won`t be
able to feed his show to BCQ, needs backup method. Topic A, I really
don`t want to hear any more as they are buying into blaming the Left
for storming the Capitol, etc., etc.
0137 recheck, a break to ``lighten up``?? Gives tonight`s frequencies
as 7490 & 6160; but more of the same in the name of Free Speech. 0153
implies that those who disagree are stupid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, January 8 at
0703-0707 UT: 603, 621, 639, 684*, 729, 747(2), 774(2), 837, 882(2),
891*, 909, 999, 1044, 1107, 1125, 1215 kHz. *=strongest; (2) at least
two carriers beating. Notable for its absence is 846, which used to
appear even earlier after TP sunset at Kiritimati; is it off the air?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS
From Murray Lycan, VA1CQ: ``Hi Glenn, you're as constant as time
itself. It's been years (decades?) since I've looked you up online and
I'm glad to see you're not only still alive but you're amazingly still
reporting on radio. How comforting! Enjoying your most recent report
now. Since I'm a new retiree, I now have endless time to spend at my
radios`` (WORLD OF RADIO 2068)
