** U S A. 23250, Nov 27 at 1855, extremely distorted but strong talk,
S9+10 into Duryea PA KiwiSDR. 1858 WITK ID and Town Hall News.
Checking this because Hugh Whelan reported an unlisted station on
4650, which Arthur Pozner then IDed as WITK [not WIZK my typo],
Wilkes-Barre PA on its 3rd harmonic of 1550! as heard into same
Duryea remote, which is only about 10 miles away. Looking at
the waterfall, there are lines throughout the spectrum at least to 31
MHz, correlating with 1.55 MHz spacing, so I pick this frequency which
is the *15th* harmonic of 1550. Have not tried direct, but may well be
propagating widely on multiple harmonix. Also heard on many of the
lower ones spot checked. I`ll calculate them for convenience: 3100,
4650, 6200, 7750, 9300, 10850, 12400, 13950, 15500, 17050, 18600,
20150, 21700, 23250, 24800, 26350, 27900, 29450, 31000...
Not until 2303 do I get around to checking many of those direct:
nothing except a JBA carrier on 9300 which is probably ChiCom jamming
against Sound of Hope. WITK, in Pittston PA, not Wilx-Barre, per NRC
AM Log, U4 10000/500 watts so by then would have powered down with
different antenna pattern. Still worth checking some of those possible
harmonix in daytime. Hugh`s original report started, ``From West
Pittston, PA I heard a strong signal at frequency 4650 of a man
preaching at 14:16 UTC, later followed by a clear ID that this was
coming from the Wilkins Radio Network.`` It`s not clear if Hugh was
*in* West Pittston PA, was using a remote somewhere, or heard it
direct at his location of record, Ft Myers FL; which? W. Pittston is
even closer to Duryea, both NE of W-B. NRC shows licensed to Pittston,
not West Pittston, and address in Exeter. Pittston, West Pittston,
Exeter and Duryea are close to each other about halfway between
Scranton and W-B, slightly closer to the latter. Radio-locator gives
station address as Wilkins R Network, Spartanburg SC, so O&O? Day and
night transmitter locations are slightly different by one second of
latitude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
