** U S A. 5800 & 5950, Aug 23 circa 0630, these WRMIs are off the air,
as they are supposed to be, contrary to 24 hours ago (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. Minor mixup in last report credit lines: the WRMI item was
not mentioned on WOR 2257, while the WTWW item was (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, Aug 23 at 2341 into NH SDR:
5130 -71 Hz = 5129.929 is on, S6/S9 with FKB. So is 3265.114, slightly
better S9/+5. Since both reactivated we may expect a new AAAWWW to
follow. 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929 with else, TOMBS? 7490 -72 Hz =
7489.928 with FKB, S9/+5. At 2356, varied to 3265.180; 2358 to
3265.162. 2359 one-minute tone cue and FKB wraps up. Allan immediately
with ``Time to hit the button``, WTO theme, starts with ``Good old
real radio``, and during pause near end, ``40``. Angela remote on
phone yet again. Wednesday was National Radio Day. Before 0007:
``communist Democrats``, ``Democrat Communist party now poses an
existential threat to the USA``. I am not going to subject myself to
delusional stuff like this for the rest of the hour, so tune-out. They
manage to be 180-degrees out of step with reality, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser,
