** ALGERIA. 17600, Nov 19 at 1642, TDA via own Béchar site as used for
extensive hours, really wailing now, S7/S9, presumed Arabic, and maybe
nothing to do with Qur`an? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 19, I am not awake and booted
until 1510 first check for LRA36, but nothing into Argentine SDR,
where I see Gary Pence, KM5X in Dallas, Texas, and someone in London
are already on it. I go back to sleep until next chex at 1559 and
1614, still nothing.

But RNASG had been on just before and crashed, as Gary tells me, ``LRA
36 prelog music just before 1500. Hi Glenn, after initial sign on, the
usual abrupt cut off at 1507. They will probably be back, I guess.``
Anyhow, it would have been replay of what we already heard on
Wednesday Nov 16. ``No, they never came back. After the pre music
finished, then an OM gave the first LRA36 ID, then abruptly went off
around 1510z, and that was all she wrote`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 19 at 0752 tune-in to JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati, just before it cuts off the air at 0752.4* - what luck!
Nothing else audible on 9/kHz splits in quick scan, not even 1017 or
1098 Pacificans. The previous night, Nov 18, Gary Pence told me:

``Hi Glenn, about 0415z had a JBA on 846 but now at 0835z they are
gone; but there is one on 1440 kHz on AI6VN/KH6 in Maui and there is
way too much local QRM to receive. It`s on NH6XO site [Oahu]. Maybe
this is Tarawa. 73,s Gary`` Closest HI is on 1420 in Honolu2 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, Nov 19 at 0732, RNZ Pacific achieves S9/+10
during Saturday Night music, and is the OSOB = only signal on band; we
are the mercy of MUF at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Sat Nov 19 at 1648, REE can muster no more than a JBA
carrier direct to deep N America on early weekend schedule. Should be
still on 17855 for starters. But they waste countless hours
play-by-playing stupid ballgames (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH. Plans for a new gospel-huxter SW station: see USA:
WBCQ: AAAWWW

** U K [and non]. 21630, Nov 19 at 1640, S3/S5 BBCWS via ASCENSION //
Woofferton 17830, covering some stupid ballgame. If you were expecting
world news to be primary on BBC, forget it for a month, as extensive
coverage of some tournament is planned. Mike Cooper has obtained a
long schedule of pre-emptions, adjustments to regular programming for
the duration (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2165 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday
November 19 at 0152 the 0130 on WRMI 5850, VG direct, S9/+20 into KFS
omni remote. But not even a JBA carrier from 15770 direct, nor into
MD, MO or CA remotes, so off or unpropagable. Nor 7730 which it
replaced, only channel still missing since hurricane Ian.

Also confirmed UT Saturday November 19 at 0500 on WBCQ Radio Angela,
5130 minus 13 Hz = 5129.987, at first via Maryland remote unusually
JBA, S1/S2. At 0506, better S4/S7 into New Hampshire remote which one
would have suspected too close to Monticello, where the precise
measurement was made. Both with intermittent QRM from 2-way in Spanish
on 5132 USB, not LSB.

Also confirmed Saturday November 19 at 1700 on WRN N America stream.

Too late for this week, but Wolfgang Bueschel reports hearing WOR at a
new time on WRMI: Friday Nov 18 at 0830 on 5010; however the skedgrid
dated Nov 18 shows 5850 & 7780 instead at 0830 Friday, unchecked yet
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Another update early UT Nov 19 from George McClintock,
president of WTWW, on the phone. He has inspected the facility further
and concluded that the transmitters are in such bad shape that they
cannot be put back on air at anywhere near full power without a lot of
replacement parts which are harder and harder to find. So now
permanently off the air, and officially for sale, price to be
determined (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490-, UT Sat Nov 19 from 0100, WBCQ direct for `AAAWWW`,
but instead of theme, starts with intros to two OTR shows: Lux Radio
Theatre, and Father Knows Best! 0102 finally `William Tell Overture`
theme and AAAWWW. AW later admits he screwed up. Usual opening fawning
over how beautiful he thinx his wife is. The are in Deland of Fla
where it`s wintry at 60 degrees.

Shortly 0106 phone call from William Levi who is from South Sudan,
discussing his plans for a new SW missionary station. He has visited
Monticello. US HQ are in western Massachusetts. They had an FM station
2003-2008 in the war zone; not clear if still on now, but want to go
on SW for better coverage, from family property, with a 300` tower for
a non-direxional monopole antenna, 2000 km range, 10 kW transmitter
powered by 40 solar panels, as there is no grid power; or maybe wind
turbines. Frequency to be 11950 kHz, ``Nehemiah Trumpet Call shortwave
station``. A Christian firm in S Korea is providing transmitter and
antenna. It`s a non-profit, wants donations to: Operation Nehemiah
Missions, at a PO Box in Lanesborough MA 01237 - glad I looked that up
for correct spellinge; in the NW corner of MA. See
www.operations.nehemiah.org You`d never know it from the interview,
but they are Messianic Jews, preferred deity monicker Yeshua. Levi was
higher-educated in the USA but speaks with a presumably Sudanese
accent.

This took until 0119.5. By 0121 it`s into politix, claiming that Pres.
Biden is a ``senile puppet damaging the country``, blind to the
terrible damage to democracy caused by their despicable hero T****.
They are glad that Pelosi and the ``demonicrats`` lose control of
House. Later admitting that even Republicans are not perfect.

Says work on the WBCQ-6 SuperStition antenna is now completely
finished, and by mid-winter expect to be up to maximum ERP. I guess
that would be February; if it`s finished, why wait? 0134 datestamp as
18 November YOOLF 2022, trimulcasting on 7490, 6160, 5130. By 0140,
7490- is fading down, so 6160- and 5130- are slightly better direct.
Hey, WORLD OF RADIO is already running on WRMI bigsig 5850! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12160, Sat Nov 19 at 1800, WWCR-2 with `Talking [sic]
Machine Show`, songs familiar from ancient recordings, seems a rerun.
VG direct, but dumps off air circa 1818, cuts back on at 1823 after I
have brought up the stream instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re my 640 kHz BIN log, Greg Hardison explains the strange
addresses: ``"...Benton TN for WBIN, Ada MI for WMFN..." WBIN was the
call sign for a former Benton, TN facility on 1540, which remanded its
license back to the FCC a few years ago; Radio-Locator.com has yet to
catch up to this. The modern WBIN/640 is the former WGST, which I'd
bet is still control-roomed from iHeart's Atlanta digs, somewhere on
Peachtree near Piedmont Hospital. Ada, I believe, is the original home
of WMFN?/640, which was moved to the flats between Chicago and
Kankakee, determined to be a better location for serving Chicagoland
whilst a "full" 30 kHz away from WSCR/670. And there again, R-L drags
past glories into the present.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Nov 19 at 0730, JBA carrier from R Vanuatu X 3 but
not on X 2 = 7890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
