** BELIZE. 28376 USB, Nov 12 at 2311, V31TL calling QRZ and working US

flag Belize, Thomas A "TOM" Linke, 8 Springsteen Ct, Stony Point, NY,
10980, USA --- I will be operating in Belize from Nov 5-8, 2024.
Mostly from POTA Parks, BZ-0057, Altun Ha Archeological Reserve and
BZ-0067 Community Baboon Sanctuary Wildlife Area. Using just 50W,
FT-891, battery and EFHW. Look for me on the POTA.app. I'll post
myself before heading out. Cell service is minimal here. From Nov
10-14, 2024 I will be on the ocean and heading to BZ-0075, Half Moon
Caye Marine Reserve and possibly BZ-0072 Turneffe Atoll Marine
Reserve. Definitely no cell service. I hope to find out why only 3 of
Belize's 79 parks have been activated`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 11460, Nov 12 at 2259, JBA AM signal seems talk, stronger
than 11529.9 Hikari FM, so maybe its second transmitter? No, EiBi &
Aoki show as CNR1 jammer and Sound of Hope channel (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** MEXICO. Re my unID carrier on approx 630.1 kHz, another report via
IRCA: ``Mexican on 630.090 kHz Tim Hall Nov 10 #51687
Does anyone know which Mexican station is operating at an offset of
630.090? (None are currently listed on mwlist.org).
In my sessions from the Nevada-Utah border at the end of October, I've
got a station on 630.090 running Mexican AC (the one song Soundhound
could identify was from 2020). This was at 0200 UT on 28 Oct 2024. I
don't have an audio clip to share, because no announcements were
heard, only music.
My wire was aimed at South Texas and Colombia (121 degrees), and the 4
surviving Mexican stations are well south of that (135, 136, 137 and
150), but the radio blackouts were starting to lift at this hour, and
stations from Mexico City and Guadalajara were suddenly starting to
come in on this wire even though it was aimed well north of them. All
I've got going for me is that offset. 73 Tim P.S. Another station
(format unknown) had an offset of 630.021`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. WTWW news about the 5085/9475 transmitter; with 7 photos, gh
will forward directly if anyone is interested:
``WTWW: transmitter #2 CAPACITOR REPLACEMENT Tue, Nov 12 at 5:03 AM --
WTWW had to replace a bad shorting capacitor in transmitter #2. This
required removal of the bad capacitor and removal of all supporting
copper brackets and replacement of the same. This was accomplished by
my son, John McClintock who did a good job as usual.
WTWW: plunger travel burned up on #2 transmitter Tue, Nov 12 at 5:20
AM -- The WTWW track that the plunger (shorts turns of the big coil to
change frequencies) travels on, burned up. WTWW had to take parts from
previous damage and repair the track so the plunger could continue to
travel on. Also, the shorting rings had to be replaced and melted
metal was drilled out. Then the shorting rings were put back into the
coil. George McClintock 11-11-2024`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [non]. 7570, Nov 12 at 2306, JBA carrier, no doubt VOK/KCBS,

** U S A. 15825, Tue Nov 12 at 2041, classical guitar music on WWCR-1!
Can hardly believe my ears. In afternoon I`m often seeking in vain
some good music on SW to nap by. Too good to last; at 2045 into `Old
Trailblazer` gospel huxter as sked for 2:45 pm but 1945 UT as program
sked is still on CDT instead of CST! Preceding at 2:30 was `Spiritual
Renaissance Broadcast` - maybe it were short or missing, tsk2 (Glenn
