** GERMANY. 9670, Sept 8 at 0100, Channel 292 rock music, no break at
hourtop. S9/+10 into Maryland SDR. 0102 British-accented fast-talking
DJ over music, almost incomprehensible, so this is not Texas Radio
Shortwave which had been widely publicized, 10 kW on direxional beam
to E North America. Just as well since this is also the hour I want to
hear `Encore` classical music on WRMI 5850.
The TRSW repeat for W North America at 0300 succeeds, with TRSW ID by
YL at 0329, S9+10 into Maryland SDR. Weaker and fadey in direct
reception. Afterwards, Terry Colgan explains, ``Channel 292 failed to
transmit the program at 0100 UTC and, unbeknownst to me, had removed
the show from the online schedule. The 0300 UTC show aired as
scheduled. -- Terry N5RTC, Austin, Texas USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2259 monitoring: Not confirmed
Saturday September 7 at 2300 on WTWW 9475, since it`s off the air [but
9930 TOMBS is still on]. 9475 off before 2300 and for quite a while
after, but at 2315 I notice it is back on with WOR at the midpoint.
More transmitter problems? 2329 followed immediately by voice of
George McClintock himself that Pastor Pete Peters is heard daily at
3-5 pm Central on 9475. Another report:
``9475. Sat, Sep 7, 2024. 2300-2325, WTWW, Lebanon-TN, in English.
Total silence (off) till 2207; 2207 Starting with Glenn Hauser reading
many logs into program "World of Radio". Fast intermittent modulation
interruptions during the program; variations in signal quality with
almost inaudible moments, fadings. I rate this transmission as bad to
a probable problem with the transmitter, of course. 2325 Impossible to
continue listening! In time:
At 2229 returns WTWW programming with fair to good reception;

** U S A. 9330, Sept 8 at 0056, WLCR via WBCQ getting heavy QRM, seems
like spurious modulation from some other talking source, extremely
distorted, but nothing nearby to match it. Checked after this report
an hour earlier at 2356 Sept 7: ``Oh my, 9330 sounding like Saudi
11935 --- ``Horrible distortion on top of weak talk. I'm assuming this
is coming from the transmitter and not someone on top of WBCQ.
Another, "there's always something wrong at,...."? 73, Walt``
Salmaniw, BC. -- meanwhile, replies:
Don Moman, Alberta: ``9330 is "fine" here IF you are in USB. There is
a strong wandering blob on the LSB currently (0036 utc) and very
strong. It's not obvious if another tx or ??``
``I looked at Don's KiwiSDR and definitely you guys are hearing
something else badly distorted that is not received here in Montreal
and WBCQ sounds very clean. Interesting, sounds like something out
west is very distorted. I've checked again at 0055 UT using my Yeasu
FTdx10 and expanded the waterfall and it looks very clean here USB and
LSB. Gilles Letourneau, OfficialSWLchannel, Montreal, Quebec``
Don Moman, VE6JY: ``just looked over at 9330 at 0109 and the blob is
gone`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
