First broadcasts confirmed UT Friday March 5 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG
direct; 7780 VG S9+15 like a local to Maine SDR, but no signal to
UTwente where it`s aimed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7570 & > 7730, March 5 at 0315, both S9+30 of dead air as
Brother Scare`s feed to WRMI has failed. Also dead on weaker 7780; and
5850 S9+20/30. Other programming remains modulating on 5950, 5800, JBA
4980, 9395, 9455, but 9955 is occupied only by pulse jamming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5890, March 4 at 0647, S9/+10 of dead air from WWCR-4
instead of Brother HyStairical. Or is there a trace of JB modulation?
This has happened before especially on UT Thursdays -- mixup in
automation scheduling? TOMBS is still nominal on squealy 3215 WWCR-1,
and on 5850 WRMI. However, by 0800, Ivo Ivanov reported no signal at
all on 5890, back by 0930. Later in the day more problems were
reported with WRMI transmitters, must be having issues (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5890, March 5 at 0305, WWCR-4 with big buzz on the Fulcher
hour audio, peaking plus/minus 4-5 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1540, March 4 at 0402 UT, Bob Smoak asked on the ABDX group,
``I'm getting a low pitched heterodyne on 1540 in Bamberg, SC. Any
ideas where it might be coming from?`` My first response was KGBC
Galveston TX on 1539.96 as I`ve heard repeatedly. His receiver could
not tell whether it was plus or minus.
When I tuned in myself at 0707-0715 UT, I found a carrier on 1540.210,
and so had Mauno Ritola via a remote. Could not hear any modulation on
it and hard to DF, but not KGBC which was weaker on the minus side. At
0726, KGBC had gospel-huxtering in Spanish and there`s a third station
with Mexican music, presumed KEDA San Antonio.
I`m on it again the next night from 0322 UT March 5: 1540.21 carrier
is there again and now I can DF it to WNW/ESE. Possibilities are
daytimers or peanut-powers at night, starting with 10 kW WTBI near Bob
in Pickens SC; KDYN Ozark AR; WKVQ Eatonton GA; WKXG Greenwood MS. No
others really fit the DF axis somewhat south of due east, and nothing
at all somewhat north of due west.
When it`s nulled, Mexmx is dominant, presumed KEDA with live DJ and
frequent CST timechex, but I can`t catch any IDs or local references.
Also at times looping further CCW, KGBC gospanish, at 0330 plugging a
phone in the 254 area code which is around Waco, not Houston. KXEL
Waterloo IA 50 kW not really a factor until a bit of English talk at
0346; northerly propagation diminished. May be cause of SAH about 5 Hz
vs KEDA?
Finally at 0401 amid the Spanish, a canned English ID for ``99.9 FM
serving San Antonio, Texas``. So Wayne won`t have to remind me, that`s
K260CC, as on page 299 of the NRC AM Log, part of the Group: Radio
Jalapeño. Only a minute later at 0402, live DJ pronounces KEDA in
Spanish as well as Radio Jalapeño, and plugs a 55th-annivesary event
for the station on March 13-14, with an address, and social-distancing
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
