** ALGERIA. 9455, April 19 at *0303, RTA Béchar cuts on with Qur`an in
progress. But WRMI has just reactivated this frequency, q.v. From 0250
or 0255 I`m standing by via UTwente, Maryland and Missouri SDRs. At
UTwente there has been a VP signal from WRMI, but now Legends is
totally overriden by Qur`aning, S9+20, making a slow SAH as both are
close to .000. At Maryland, RTA is S6/S8 but well atop RMI. At
Missouri, RMI rules, but we can hear Qur`an underneath, what a culture
clash. Only Aoki shows RTA on 9455 at 0300-0600; EiBi shows 9470 &
9500 but neither is on now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [non]. (106.3), April 18 at 0000 UT, KGOU
Norman OK webcast opens `Fresh Air` teaser, 0001-0006 `National Native
News`; and NO `Stardate` which thinx it`s on KGOU daily at 7 am & 7 pm
CT; amend my previous item. It is on KENW but as early as 0058 rather
than 0100 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 18 at 2156, VOT English ID and IS, S5/S8
direct, so not off the air today. And not on the air circa 2310 for
any extraneous German. In between I have better things to do than
frustratingly try to understand her (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2186 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday April 18 at 0042 the 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 direct. Also confirmed Tuesday April 18 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into
Missouri SDR. Gary Pence, KM5X, also reports on this: ``Hi Glenn, I
just enjoyed listening to WOR 2186 from WRMI`s 9395 kHz xmtr at 2330z.
I copied it real well, S9+25/35db from Central Vermont rSDR K1VL
Shrewsbury VT. Nice audio. Also. Last night when I was operating late night 20 meter CW, I worked
evidently a maritime mobile Russian craft over the North Pole at
0930z, somewhere and has an interesting page at QRZ.com. His call is
RI41POL.`` Next WOR airings:

March 24, after a splatter problem March 19. It`s TOMBS, probably same
as on much stronger 9980 WWCR but not synchro. Now 9455 is S9/S5
direct, about the same as the other RMIs on 9395, 9955. In summer
daytimes, all these should be on higher band, 11 or 13 MHz. 9455 still
TOMBSing at 2330, S9+10/20 into Missouri SDR. At 0000 April 19
switches to Legends. It shall be very interesting to note whether WRMI and Algeria be
colliding at 03-06 on 9455 as I have been hearing the latter Qur`aning
lately! Answer: see ALGERIA above. Coincidentally, the WRMI skedgrid has been updated as of today April
18, more than a month after March 12. It always pretended 9455 was
running, but FWIW here`s the System/lineup for it now, all at 285
degrees close to usward: 00-02: K, i.e. Legends except for KBC one day a week.
02-04: C, Legends
04-05: F, Truth [sic] 2Ponder [sic]
05-07: J, SMTV
07-08: F, Fámily Radio
08-09: E, TOMBS
09-10: D, RAE Argentina
10-11: J, SMTV
11-24: E, TOMBS
That`s just consulting the transmission grid atop; there may be
further details or contradixions in the System/programming skeds
below. I have not tried to match up. Ahá: at 0159, RAE in Italian cut
off incomplete, 0200 to music // 5050 so Legends, but break for a
Bible quote. RAE in Italian is not scheduled on any System or
frequency at 0130 or 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130, April 19 at 0233, still no signal from WBCQ Radio
Angela, into Maryland SDR. That makes six nights off, I believe. Must
be serious, what? R. Angela depended on broadcasting every night from
0200 to 0400 or a bit later, never webcasting. Finally circa 1330 UT
April 18, on disgraced Twitter: ``Allan Weiner @AllanWBCQ · 13h [ago]
Radio Angela 5130 kHz is down. Sorry. Bad tubes. Some 40+ years old.
Working on it. Timtron to the rescue. It’s what we do to keep the free
speech flowing. Some tubes not made any longer. Got to dig. WBCQ is a
living radio museum. It’s [sic] staff too😆. More to come🙏.`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9275, Tue April 18 at 2059, again no signal from WMLK, a day
and hour supposedly active. What`s become of deceased EJOM tapes?
Neighbor in more ways than one, WINB 9265v is audible but poor (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, WTWW-2 continues to be off the air, not clear why,
because it`s the other transmitter, WTWW-1 that George McClintock has
been working on; another update from him in the form of captions to
multi-MB closeups, received April 19: ``WTWW: transmitter damage & power --- THEY used plastic sheets to
cover up the damaged burned up power module holes. They were burned up
when the transmitter changed frequency because they did the change in
high power, out of tune --- not lightning damage. The plastic sheets
kept the air flow over the modules. I always went to low power for the
frequency change to avoid the transmitter coming up OUT OF TUNE in
high power causing module damage. #1 transmitter has 6 modules down and is capable of about 90 KW, my
personal goal. The FCC classifies 100 KW as 90 KW below or 105 above.
Technically any power authorized as 90% below or 105% above. THEY wrapped the power connections permanently in electrical tape and
made no plan to repair the modules. Jason said he saw the person
repairing electrical stuff. Ted hired this gentleman and what Jason
saw was all FAKE. I would ask what happened to the insurance 100,000
dollars to repair #1 transmitter that never got repaired. George
McClintock 4-17-2023`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 10125 USB, April 18 at 0618, phone ham with Oz accent,
weak and does not ID as he cambios to another who is JBA. Same
frequency/area where oddball phone on ``30m`` I`ve logged a few times
before, but 24 hours earlier, CW sending keyboard letters in sequence.
I wish ARDXC would investigate or clarify what is going on there
