Habitually off-frequency elsewhere too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 13760, Aug 26 at 0338, pop music in English, gospel? Soon starts plugging the Bible, S7-S9. MWV is scheduled here. They have two totally different English programs, ``African Pathways Radio`` and `relay` of KNLS New Life Station, Alaska. WRTH does not specify which hours are which! Nor does Aoki. EiBi shows APR for this, but also for the other 3 English broadcasts, no KNLS! HFCC shows 13760 is aimed 40 degrees for Asian CIRAFs, so that makes it NLS, not APR. BTW, VOK also scheduled to start all-day usage of 13760 from 0300, and whenever heard, not now, it`s been off-frequency about 13760.2. Did not notice any offfrequenciness for this MWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

At 0152 via Bonaire SDR, VG S9/+15. WOR 2101 should be ready to start UT Fri Aug 27 at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4980 & 4975 & 5800, Aug 26 at 0607, WRMIs 4 & 10 are OFF, two fewer frequencies for TOMBS. All other scheduled WRMI remain on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9385, Aug 26 at 0613, no signal from WEWN English; also missing a few hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 4780v, Aug 26 at 0208, while checking the Progreso spur circa 4783, via Bonaire SDR, I also detect a JBA carrier here, not a known currently active SWBC frequency. Of course first comes to mind DJIBOUTI, could it be reactivated? But old sign-on time was 0300. DBS of April 2016 showed it last heard in Feb 2015. Last log of it I can find was presumed by Harold Frodge, MI, MARE in the 21 and 22 UT hours of December 2014. 4780 does not compute as a MW harmonic of any `even` frequency. We recall that the 2020 WRTH, not 2021, listed some Future Plans in PERU, including 4780: OAW7I, Calle Monjaspata 745, 08001 Cusco; no further info and apparently never appeared, until now?? The carrier is somewhat unstable; could be a ute, but I think more likely it`s a minus 10 kHz spur out of 4790 WBCQ. Bonaire SAM shows carrier offset of +125/140 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 10080, Aug 26 at 0605, JBA carrier as I am checking for R. Vanuatu, 2 x 5040. Fundamental however is totally blocked by RHC at S9+10, on air later than usual. However2, others report Vanuatu was absent this date from 5040 or any other frequency. So probably another RHC harmonic, where I`ve never logged it before for sure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15770, Aug 26 at 0339, JBA carrier. Could it be WRMI-9 which supposedly runs 1100-0200 only? Yet per HFCC it`s registered available 24 hours. Nothing else ever on frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS Hello, Glenn — I’m a fellow DXer, mostly NDBs, BCB, FM, living in SW PA, 50 miles from Pittsburgh.
