** ARGENTINA [non]. 5800, UT Sat Jan 11 at 0133, RAE AAM, Spanish via
WRMI is in Friday DX program whose name is ``actualidaddx.com.ar`` ---
something about a station on 12005; then far-advance news about the
Radio Öömrang annual broadcast Feb 21 at 1600-1700 on 15215; then a
long item about stations in Perú, until closing at 0142; 0143 next
program is `Migrantes y refugiados`. I wonder if same DX content in
English translation appear next semihour 0200-0230 on 9395? Did not
get to check that.

Despite my numerous reports of the correct frequency and time for RAE
Spanish via WRMI, Conexión Digital continues to ignore them and
publish totally wrong info about their own station:
``RAE, Radiodifusión Argentina al Exterior:
HORA UTC KHZ DIAS
0100-0200 O-6060 23456
2200-2300 O-5010 12345``
BTW, the weekly C.D. is taking a summer break to resume sometime in
February. The condiglista is moving from yg to iog (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13564, 13632, 13768, 13836 approx., Jan 11 at 1539, AM/FM
spurblobs out of 13700-RHC; even second-order 13836 registers S9, but
no third-orders heard. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2016 monitoring: Confirmed at 2300
Jan 10 via WRMI 9955 --- jamming did not abate a bit until about 2318,
and finally gone by 2327.

Confirmed much better jamming-free, UT Sat Jan 11 at 0130 on WRMI
5850, and much weaker 5010 which fades out to storm noise by 0148;
while 7780 has been replaced by music --- APS Radio! Without notice.
BTW, following WOR at 0200 on 5850 was a VORW dated 8 August 2019!
That`s a *lot* of weeks ago.

Not confirmable Sat Jan 11 at 1300 on WRMI 15770 --- JBA carrier only
here as usual. Maybe Ivo has checked it over there? Yes:

** U S A [and non]. Some minor updates/correxions to WORLD OF RADIO
2016:

About Mongolia 7260 English scheduling: the one-hour-earlier Saturday
broadcast is at 00-01 UT; the time 08-09 was local time.

About beacon A on 2097.3: I meant to say Oct 11 as the date I noted it
had been missing, not Aug 11.

Also, we have learnt later that SPAIN has resumed 9690 as of Jan 10;

About Radio Onda ASBL, Brazilian music via Netherlands at new time
00-17 on 5940, but has anyone ever heard it? A later report:

``Rádio Onda has moved to 5940 kHz from 6060 kHz. Heard testing today
at 1100 on 5940.05v kHz, weak here in Finland. (Mauno Ritola on WRTH
Facebook group, 5 Jan)

(Radio Onda's entry is on page 459/460 of WRTH 2020 under Belgium -
though SW licence is for 1 kW from site in Netherlands see:
https://www.radioonda.be/ondes-courtes)

"Welcome to Radio Onda's website! We are broadcasting in DAB+ from
Brussels. Here you can listen, in addition to the good French music,
the best international hits 80s and 90s, and of course, the beautiful
Brazilian music! Listen to the broadcast of Radio Onda also on 6060
[sic] kHz" https://ondaasbl.wixsite.com/english

"Radio Onda is managed by ASBL Onda, a non-profit association based in
Bruxellas [sic], Belgium. Our activities are aimed at the
dissemination of Brazilian culture by the old continent. In addition
to webradio, we have a 6030 [sic] kHz Shortwave broadcaster from
Holland, with 1 KW of power, covering much of Europe. The programming
of the station is quite varied, and here you will hear from MPB,
National Rock, Samba, Country, among other national styles. This way,
we bring you a great variety of music, with lots of humor and
information, for an audience not only Brazilian, but also Belgian and
European. ASBL Onda is a member of HFCC, an international organization
for shortwave radio frequency coordination, in addition to the
Geneva-based ITU." (translated from Portuguese at
https://ondaasbl.wixsite.com/home/a-radio)

(N.B. Voz Missionaria, Brazil also uses 5940 kHz, though off channel
around 5939.7 kHz)(Alan Pennington, bdxc-news iog)``

{many others then report hearing it Jan 10-11, at least via remotes}

To which Wolfgang Bueschel replies:

``Yes is A-20 season registered already, start as from March 29, 2020.
5940 kHz 0000-2400 UT ITU CIRAF zones 27E,28NW MRT 1 kW

** U S A. (7490, 5130), UT Sat Jan 11 at 0000, monitoring WBCQ 7490
webcast, FKB preacher runs over mixing with canned ID; `WTO` theme of
`AAAWWW` plays, but soon interrupted by Pirate Joe substituting, and
he fades out the WTO, enough of that, before it finishes. Meanwhile,
both 7490v and 5130 are JBA, so I leave it to John Carver to report on
whatever fill this hour:

``Tonight's show started on time this evening. Very poor signal on
7490 and a little better signal on 5130. Pirate Joe is the host this
evening. He starts off by telling the listeners to create their own
shows and put them on WBCQ. Some talk about fun and our country's
history of not allowing fun going back to the original Puritan
settlers. 5130 started to go downhill about 0115 and getting difficult
to copy. Will listen to the noise in case the signal picks up again.
Later on I hear George Bush being mentioned and a bit later something
about Iraq wanting us out. It sounded like he may have started playing
music around 0147. At 0155 there was a station ID but only one so they
must have corrected the problem of constant station IDs for five
minutes in a row. As near as I can tell program ended on time. John,
Mid-North Indiana``

Too bad, isn`t it, that none of the Superstation project is available
to make Classic WBCQ programming somehow audible on SW (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12160, Sat Jan 11 at 1607, WWCR church choir with modulation
breaking up. Scheduled this hour is `The Church of the Lord Jesus
Christ of the Apostolic Faith` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, Sat Jan 11 at 0702 UT, KAAY Little Rock with series of
jokes to a laughing audience, stand-up? Not the usual
gospel-huxtering; XEAU Monterrey at right angle needs to be nulled
instead of vice-versa; 0705 ads; 0708 opening the NBC-TV Today show
hour with Hoda and Jenna for January 10! but no video here. Seems a
drastic format change. Maybe this is not `Beaker Street`, but a
related story sent on by Rick Barton, AZ; very vague about when B.S.
would be on:

“Beaker Street,” Clyde Clifford’s pioneering late-night radio show, is
back on the air. The program debuted on 50,000-watt AM radio station
KAAY in 1966 and established itself as an underground dispatch — and
as an antidote to commercial radio’s milquetoast formulas and
penchants for repeating the same 100 classic rock tracks on a
carousel. Clifford favored deeper and longer album cuts than daytime
mainstream radio had patience for, and because he broadcast the show
from KAAY’s Wrightsville location, where the station’s transmitter was
located, he set his mellow narration to a backdrop of freaky space
sounds to muffle the transmitter’s hum — a trademark that so defined
the show that it had to be kept, even when “Beaker Street” found life
in other, more noise-controlled studios.

Now, with Clifford’s (real name: Dale Seidenschwarz) retirement from a
decades-long day job in the rearview mirror (barely), the beloved rock
radio bulletin is slated for a revival on Arkansas Rocks, a coalition
of veteran radio talent that, like Clifford, skews less toward stuff
like “Hotel California” and more toward the likes of “Traveller in
Time.” Stay tuned for more on Clifford’s return to the airwaves,
scheduled for February 2020. Until then, here’s Arkansas Rocks’ air
talent Tom Wood bringing the good news...
