** ALASKA [non]. 13760, Jan 6 at 0213, lively song, of praise? almost like it`s looping; 0215 Today`s -something, evangelizing mentioning bible, faith in god; 0218 US PO Box address. S9 and the SSOB, yea OSOB on 22m. EiBi says this is African Pathways Radio, via MADAGASCAR, for S Asia. That makes no sense! This is in plain American accents, no African accents used by APR. But no S Asian accents either.
This has been a confusing situation for some time, perhaps World Christian Broadcasting not without blame. Aoki, OTH, says it`s W.C.B, no target. Neither gives azimuths, but HFCC shows 40 degrees for CIRAFs 41 and 42S = S. Asia. That angle means we are close to off the side from it thisaway, yet MWV has that huge transequatorial propagational advantage. It must be blasting in the boresight. All sources agree there is a second hour at exactly same parameters, 0300-0400; repeat of same daily content, or different? For convenience via an Illinois remote at 0254 I recheck during the wacko `Creation Moment`, then 0255 ``Your New Life Station`` with its Friday program, hours and ``best`` frequencies. In the Pacific: 6075 at 08, 9680 at 10, 9580 & 9625 at 12, 6110 at 14. In India, 13760 at 02 & 03, says Rob Scobey of Your New Life Station - no mention of Madagascar, nor of Alaska! For this is a.k.a. KNLS during those Pacific emissions when it`s really Alaska [non non]. 0259 pause. 0300 English will start in one minute, meanwhile playing the familiar KNLS IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Jan 6 at 0219, RHC Spanish is S9+20 but suptorted == modulation suppressed and distorted. No signal on 11850 but a horrible crackle circa 11852: see USA: WWCR. 9535 also RHC, S8/9+10 stronger than usual but JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC. BTW, I perform a broad Google search of the Internet on that catch-phrase I coined. It insists on searching first with a proper apostrophe, resulting in 155 hits. When I insist on searching on the way I spell it, with a ` grave accent instead, we get about 3000. Of course most of these are bound to lead to my postings, altho some others have taken it up; not including the slightest variations by me or them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165 // 6000, UT Fri Jan 6 at 0236, RHC English as Lena Valverde starts `Arts Roundup`. Equally good signal and mod on both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Jan 6 at 0238, R. Rebelde is S9+20/30 but overmodulatedistorted; meanwhile there are NO signals on 4765, 5040, 10050 or 10080. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 7410, Jan 6 at 0230, nice Romanian folk music at S9+20/30, and // weaker 5990 RRI a few minutes later but with some unpleasant yelling. I look it up in the latest edition of Alan Roe`s Music Programmmes on Shortwave, RRI`s French hour, but Friday is the only day of week with no entry at 0230-0245! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2172 monitoring: confirmed first SWBC, UT Friday January 6 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S6/S8 but sufficiently good into Maurice, Louisiana SDR. Still starts with 10+ seconds of self inflicted overriding noise hitting at exactly same time I start talking. First tried Missouri SDR but it`s still suffering audio dropouts every few seconds.

Why bother? Something`s messed up in Metairie. Do they know that back at Fort Worth HQ? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7489.930, Jan 6 at 0227, WBCQ is back after more than a week of downtime for repairs, while 7 frequency`s programming ran on 5130- instead, but now that`s off again until 0300 R. Angela. Still typically off-frequency-minus, sounds OK except for the content, Hal Turner talking about pipelines (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5920-5947 approx., Jan 6 at 0234 horrible crackling noise spanning this range and maybe to 5950 if it were not for WRMI shouldering; obviously emanating from defective WWCR transmitter amid on 5935 with dead Gene Scott at S9+40/50. This correlates with the same crackling heard at 0220 I was about to blame on Cuba, centered about 11852 at only S9+25, i.e. 2 x 5926. Something`s gnarly at gNashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, Jan 6 at 0237, the real WTWW, S9+20/30 with Scriptures for America.
