** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Dec 11 at 1523 & 1556 chex, NO
signal from LRA36 into Brasil remote, despite surprise appearance on
Wed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRIA. 15360, Dec 11 at 1911, hymn in unknown language, the SSOB
S9/+20, exceeding even 15770 WRMI, and a lot louder. Aoki shows it`s
AWR via Moosbrunn this semihour in Hausa. But are any Hausa in
Oklahoma listening and subject to conversion? An example of how well
numerous other European broadcasters could intentionally reach deep
North America if they had not abandoned us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 15155-15160-15165, Dec 11 at 1552, DRM-like
noise as jamming atop JBA talk, i.e. like logged Dec 7, clandestine
Dimtse Woyane, via FRANCE, and jamming maybe from outside Ethiopia
skip zone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2116 monitoring: as expected, NOT
confirmed any more Friday December 10 at 2330 on WRMI 5950 as this is
now the second semihour of music from APS Radio M-F at 2300. And it is
// 4980, both poor direct on DX-398 portable and clipon.

Confirmed UT Saturday December 11 at 0230 on WRMI 9395, JBA to
Missouri SDR, slightly better VP into Winnipeg further away. I hope
it`s listenable somewhere.

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Dec 11 at 0100, not even checking SW, I
tune the WBCQ webcast for this week`s `AAAWWW`. As usual, A & A are
talking/yelling over each other for an hour, which may be fine in
person, but not so good for anyone listening via radio/webcast.

As always first trying to titillate us about Allan stripping because
it`s so hot in Deland of Fla, and Angela being so gorgeous. Then about
horse riding, as Central Florida is the Horse Capit@l of the World; so
is this a repeat? No. They are both klutzes since they are tall and
lanky. Occasional pro-Trump, anti-Biden remarx. 0120 about plant-based
substitutes for meat; they are almost vegan, but dairy stuff is OK.
etc., etc. Complaining about inflation.

0141, finally datestamp as 10 of December YOOLF 2021; email is open
(but not phones apparently, no calls interrupting). Advice for married
couples like them: talk a lot to each other, which they do not just
this hour, but habitually daily at noon on the porch they hold a
``soviet``, as in council or advice session, and sometimes also at
supper. They praise the ops in Maine who are doing such a good job.

0145 reading some items from new Free Radio Weekly just in -
frequencies, names, program content, never any times or dates or
credits; he does notice my name and remarx, ``When is Glenn Hauser`s
World of Radio on?`` Finds it: ``Wednesdays at 5-5:30 pm Eastern on
7490 [never mind the other Area 51 airing]. God bless Glenn Hauser,
still doing it; how old is he? Older than me.``

0152 reading an article about a study financed by Dolby about changing
music listening habits by adults. Never mentions radio, but implied,
he thinx. 0158 prayer and 0200 over to Hal Turner. John Carver`s
version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 4790. No signal on 6160 and 7490.
Allan and Angela in the studio. Usual bantering. Allan says he's hot
and wants to take his clothes off. Opening talk about horses again and
then comments about Angela being nearly naked in the studio. Then
back to horses. Antique vehicles are touched upon then jumps into talk
about eating red meat, climate change and suggestions that people
should eat less red meat which morphs into a discussion about fake
meat and how much it has improved over the years since being
introduced. They say changing one's diet is just one way to help
reduce inflation.

A quick mention about chips in new cars which Angela rants about but
quickly moves back to horses and then back to new cars. Quick check at
0130 shows 6160 and 7490 are still dead at my QTH. Allan and Angela
posit that Elon Musk wants to go to Mars to turn it into a dumping
ground for radioactive waste as the Green movement takes over there
will be more radioactive waste generated. Jumping from there to
musings about fusion power to solve our fuel problems as we phase out
fossil fuels. All the time Allan is saying that he'd like to be
talking about radio but the talk keeps morphing into different
directions such as Angela mentioning AI and Allan going back to
discussion about fusion power and then, believe it or not, horses come
up again. At about 0143 the noise on 4790 increases and is harder to
copy.

Then some talk in general about the station stating that all was
working well in Maine and the staff up there were great. At 0147 Allan
jumps to reading highlights from a Free Radio Weekly with no warning
and then gives a plug for Glenn Hauser's WOR program. At 0152 he reads
an article about the changing listening habits of today with several
references to a Generation Z. Reads an email at 0158 and into the
closing prayer. Program was off the air at 0200. John, Mid-North
Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WWCR: included in 840: WHAS et al. Tornadic report below.

** U S A. 840, WHAS: At 0638 UT Dec 11 I posted to the WOR, NRC, IRCA
and ABDX groups:

``WHAS Tornadic --- WHAS 840 Louisville with continuous tornado
coverage from tune-in 0604 past 0618 UT Saturday Dec 11. unID
weatherman obviously on TV with invisible visual references like
``follow my finger`` and ``note the highlighted areas``. But plenty of
geographical references, counties threatened, etc. Meanwhile, nothing
about this on other major stations in the region, KMOX, WSM, WLAC? Tnx
to alert from Paul S in CT. 73, Glenn Hauser, OK``

Here`s what Paul had sent, first at 0517 UT:

``[WOR] Tornado Outburst --- Local news in CT reporting night tornados
in Central USA. Tuned into 1120 KMOX for updates, but changed over to
local programming after 11PM (CT) [05 UT] news. Workers trapped in an
Amazon warehouse in community of Edwardsville [IL]. Reports about
Arkansas nursing home direct hit with deaths and injuries. Reports of
debris at Commercial Aviation altitudes (33-39000 feet).

Also checked in at WHAS 840, some network or local programming there.
These reports 0001-0006 EST [0501-0506 UT]. lots of 'flutter' both
channels. Local radio stations strong background. (840 New Britain, CT
and 1120 Bristol, CT)

UPDATE 2331 EST [0531 UT]: WHAS now up strongly with weather report
and warnings for area until 0300 CT [09 UT]. Storms are moving at
50-55 MPH. Local area communities have warning reporting. Some massive
tornadoes still moving from AR to KY. There is a report of a 200+ mile
path length. Some truly awesome powerful storms. Thoughts, Prayers for
all. Paul S. in CT FN31nl``

Further replies:

0732 UT: 840, WHAS recheck, briefer wx info from same guy, ID as
``WLKY Chief Meteorologist ---`` didn`t catch the name but WLKY
website says Jay Cardosi. BTW, no bother from 846 JBA carrier of Xmas
Island.

Why isn`t WHAS Radio getting its severe wx info from WHAS-TV????? FCC
TV Query shows WHAS 11/11 licensed to Sander Operating Co.; WLKY 14/32
to Hearst Properties, Inc. But WHAS [AM] licensed to IHM Licenses LLC.
So WHAS radio is not related to WHAS-TV (Glenn Hauser)

0944 UT: ``Different City but related, at 0918 UT I observed WNQM 1300
as well as WWCR 4840 kHz, 5890 kHz and 5935 kHz suddenly leave the
airwaves as tornadoes are passing through the Nashville area.
Unknown if this is due to lack of power, damage or as a preventative
measure. John Jurasek`` [more about WWCR below]

1339 UT: `` Glenn, KMOX didn't have anything on after 0600 UT (which,
considering the severity of this outbreak, mystified me), but did have
extensive coverage earlier in the evening. I was tipped off to this
around 0340 UT when typing in my own logging of KTMC-1400 on
http://dxworld.com/bcblog.html and saw from DXers in Minnesota and
Indiana that KMOX had been off. Shortly after sending the message, I
tuned into 1120 (as best as I can here, which requires turning my loop
90 degrees from KFAB, then going with USB once I'm on 1120), and KMOX
was back on, providing lots of news about the storms, including
mentions of Lambert International Airport (not sure if it took a
direct hit, or not). The big news online was about an Amazon facility
in nearby Edwardsville, Illinois that DID take a direct hit, and 2
people were killed there. Also saw a news item about how one tornado
had travelled from Arkansas into the Missouri bootheel, then into
Tennessee and Kentucky (!). If confirmed that it was indeed the same
twister, it would be the first quad-state tornado in history. 73, Rick
Dau, South Omaha, Nebraska``

1419 UT: ``We had a bumpy night here in the Lexington [KY] area too;
warning sirens at 3 AM [08 UT] sent us to the basement for an hour. I
can't complain; luckily only minor damage near us but a huge swath of
devastation to our west. Amazing weather for December,
record-breaking. Being from CT I'm not used to this kind of thing but
I'm glad to be here. Jay radiojayallen``

1702 UT: ``Glenn, as Rick noted, KMOX had wall-to-wall coverage when I
was listening around 9:30-10 pm Central (0330-0400 UT) last night ---
only it wasn’t their coverage. Like WHAS, they were relaying local
TV—in KMOX’s case, KTVU-Fox 2 and KPLR Ch. 11. (I’m “mystified”, to
borrow Rick’s term, to hear KMOX carrying audio from any local TV
other than KMOV Ch. 4, the CBS affiliate. Oh well…) At that point they
were still reporting 50-100 people trapped in the Amazon fulfillment
center in Edwardsville, with no mention yet of fatalities. WHAS seemed
to be off, or at reduced power, around the same time. I wasn’t hearing
much from them at any rate, certainly not thru all the lightning
crashes. Randy Stewart, Springfield MO``

1942 UT: ``Glenn, KMOX had coverage of the tornado in the St. Louis
area, but simulcast KTVI/KPLR-TV. At 9 PM CST/0300z KMOX was off the
air for about one hour, and I could only hear them on KEZK HD-2. After
9 PM KMOX chose to re-run a program aired earlier that day. Paul
Harner``

About WWCR. #1 transmitter was already crippled, unable to run 6115 or
3215 but still 15825 in daytime. However, Dec 11 at 1554, not a trace
of 15825 either direct which under ``normal`` conditions is a JBA
carrier, nor 13845. I bring up a Maine remote to check them: by 1558,
13845 is VG with TOMBS, and 12160 must have just come on at 1559
during University Network with their 30-30 800 number, and Dead Gene
Scott. That is NOT supposed to be on 12160 WWCR-2 at this time, rather
various other gospel huxters. Something`s wacko at WWCR. I then sit
the Maine SDR on 15825, which cuts on S9+10/20 at *1620. At 1820 I
hear a bit of the `Talking [sic] Machine Show` with scratchy old Xmas
carols from 1915y, not a solid signal direct on 12160.

Even in Enid, there was roof damage by strong straight winds to my
doctor`s building (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 18060, Dec 11 at 1551, JBA carrier with flutter,
smacking of a 3rd harmonic. Only EiBi 6020 item at this time would be
irregular low-power R. Delta International in Holland, surely not
that. Aoki also has it Sundays only; as well as imaginary R. Gaúcha,
Brasil; and imaginary R. Victoria 24h in Perú. I vaguely recall that
harmonicized many years ago. Yes: the summary for WOR 1346 of Feb 6,
2007 says: ``*Try 18060 for harmonic from Perú, Radio Victoria, 6020 x
3, heard in Paraguay at 1716, but not yet from North America. Also try
19440, from its other frequency, 9720 x 2``. Another 18060 station is
VMW Wiluna Western Australia, meteo fax, maybe still active but surely
not this either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
