** ALASKA [non]. 13760, Jan 6 at 0213, lively song, of praise? almost
like it`s looping; 0215 Today`s -something, evangelizing mentioning
bible, faith in god; 0218 US PO Box address. S9 and the SSOB, yea OSOB
on 22m. EiBi says this is African Pathways Radio, via MADAGASCAR, for
S Asia. That makes no sense! This is in plain American accents, no
African accents used by APR. But no S Asian accents either.
This has been a confusing situation for some time, perhaps World
Christian Broadcasting not without blame. Aoki, OTH, says it`s W.C.B,
no target. Neither gives azimuths, but HFCC shows 40 degrees for
CIRAFs 41 and 42S = S. Asia. That angle means we are close to off the
side from it thisaway, yet MWV has that huge transequatorial
propagational advantage. It must be blasting in the boresight. All
sources agree there is a second hour at exactly same parameters,
0300-0400; repeat of same daily content, or different?
For convenience via an Illinois remote at 0254 I recheck during the
wacko `Creation Moment`, then 0255 ``Your New Life Station`` with its
Friday program, hours and ``best`` frequencies. In the Pacific: 6075
at 08, 9680 at 10, 9580 & 9625 at 12, 6110 at 14. In India, 13760 at
02 & 03, says Rob Scobey of Your New Life Station - no mention of
Madagascar, nor of Alaska! For this is a.k.a. KNLS during those
Pacific emissions when it`s really Alaska [non non]. 0259 pause. 0300
English will start in one minute, meanwhile playing the familiar KNLS
IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Jan 6 at 0219, RHC Spanish is S9+20 but suptorted ==
modulation suppressed and distorted. No signal on 11850 but a horrible
crackle circa 11852: see USA: WWCR. 9535 also RHC, S8/9+10 stronger
than usual but JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
BTW, I perform a broad Google search of the Internet on that
catch-phrase I coined. It insists on searching first with a proper
apostrophe, resulting in 155 hits. When I insist on searching on the
way I spell it, with a ` grave accent instead, we get about 3000. Of
course most of these are bound to lead to my postings, altho some
others have taken it up; not including the slightest variations by me
or them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6165 // 6000, UT Fri Jan 6 at 0236, RHC English as Lena
Valverde starts `Arts Roundup`. Equally good signal and mod on both
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, Jan 6 at 0238, R. Rebelde is S9+20/30 but
overmodulatedistorted; meanwhile there are NO signals on 4765, 5040,
10050 or 10080. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA. 7410, Jan 6 at 0230, nice Romanian folk music at S9+20/30,
and // weaker 5990 RRI a few minutes later but with some unpleasant
yelling. I look it up in the latest edition of Alan Roe`s Music
Programmmes on Shortwave, RRI`s French hour, but Friday is the only
day of week with no entry at 0230-0245! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2172 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, UT Friday January 6 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S6/S8 but sufficiently
good into Maurice, Louisiana SDR. Still starts with 10+ seconds of
self inflicted overriding noise hitting at exactly same time I start
talking. First tried Missouri SDR but it`s still suffering audio
dropouts every few seconds. Next:

** U S A. 7505, Jan 6 at 0226, WRNO S9/+20 but JBM in English. Why
bother? Something`s messed up in Metairie. Do they know that back at
Fort Worth HQ? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7489.930, Jan 6 at 0227, WBCQ is back after more than a week
of downtime for repairs, while 7 frequency`s programming ran on 5130-
instead, but now that`s off again until 0300 R. Angela. Still
typically off-frequency-minus, sounds OK except for the content, Hal
Turner talking about pipelines (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5920-5947 approx., Jan 6 at 0234 horrible crackling noise
spanning this range and maybe to 5950 if it were not for WRMI
shouldering; obviously emanating from defective WWCR transmitter amid
on 5935 with dead Gene Scott at S9+40/50. This correlates with the
same crackling heard at 0220 I was about to blame on Cuba, centered
about 11852 at only S9+25, i.e. 2 x 5926. Something`s gnarly at
gNashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, Jan 6 at 0237, the real WTWW, S9+20/30 with Scriptures
for America. Wondering what PPP meant, Kai Ludwig found this
disrespectful entry:
