* BRAZIL. 11749.967, Dec 10 at 2313, music from R. Voz Missionária, S9+10/20 direct. Lately had been closer to .000 but slipping again. At least it`s reliably on the air like 9665v and maybe 5940v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 870, Dec 10 at 0757 UT, severe wobbler overwhelming WWL. Why is it so weak? Also same wobbler sound, underwhelming 1040 WHO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13650, Dec 10 at 2310, Chinese music fill, S9+20 and somewhat suptorted. Relogged for the record, something`s always wrong at RadioCuba still emitting this totally useless stuff which their Chinese masters send them instead of scheduled CRI Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 5060 & 4980, Dec 10 at 2316 JBA carriers direct, but can`t yet perceive 4850 & 4500 of the Urumqi Four graylinish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 9635, Dec 10 at 0808, S5/S6 of French? Presume ORTM which starts here at 0800 after 5995 has almost faded out. Unfortunately I am still awake to rarely hear this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 12030, Dec 10 at 2300, this REE ME frequency is still the offone, 9690 VG direct but if it`s Tuesday it must be Sephardic, not English; 17715 & 17755 JBA carriers like hardly anything else on 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, Tue Dec 10 at 2259, VOT not off the air, IS and ID in English, S9+20 direct = noise level so will catch it via UTwente later: at 2332 when measured, S9+30/35 with low rumble, as Efsun is axentuating a `Weekly Commentary`, no idea what topic, outro at 2337. 2338 music. 2345 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` about red-colored ``cherry marble``. 2346 music. 2355 a late s/off as if 1330 on 13635. Something`s always awry at Ankara and IS; 2356 pause and restart IS with German IDs. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Off a few sex before 2400* avoiding additional embarrassment of starting German broadcast, instead uncovering the already audible Chicom just in time for anthem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. ND beacon bandscan Dec 10 0740-0748 UT on NRD 545 with E/W longwire, maximum noise limiting/blanking, noise level only S7: among many peripheral JBA regulars, info from RNA roster: 314 MCW kHz, VTN, Valentine NE, rare, 25 watts. Vaguely recall hearing it before, but no log found in archive during past sesquidecade 344 MCW kHz, JL, ``Lunns``, Joplin MO, ``2014-10-27 Dick Palmer reports it appears to be OTA`` -- OFF the air, could also mean ON! 365 MCW kHz, AA, ``Kenie``, Fargo ND really in MN, 100 watts 379 MCW kHz, DL, ``Pykla``, Duluth MN 420 MCW kHz, PK, Olathe KS, 25 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2272 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday December 10 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+5 into south TX SDR; occasional noise blasts; and ionosonde whipping by, as on waterfall diagonal line. Barely confirmed Tuesday December 10 at 1526 the 1500 on WRMI 9955, JBA but sounds like me; presumably the same after 1400, zzzz. Also confirmed Tuesday December 10 at 2100 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.998-, S9 into UTwente; following Wavescan outro still with an AWR! address. Next: 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975.

S9+35 much stronger than 9955, then in English lists about a dozen languages, apparently available subtitles/captioning for next item about Afghan women, in language, maybe Pashto? Just another example of why it`s a bad idea to put TV audio on SW, or any radio or audio-only platform (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Dec 10 at 0812 & 1731 & 2306, WLCR via WBCQ is still absent; supposedly 24h. What`s wrong? Nothing about this on WBCQ website nor on linked https://www.worldslastchance.com/ -- where we see the ``correct`` spelling of their imaginary deity: Yahushua -- none of this ``Yahweh`` stuff! Oops, elsewhere in website it`s ``Yahuwah``, ``Yahwehshua``, or even ``Yahweh``! Nowhere in the About Us page is there any hint this was founded and bankrolled by an Egyptian cosmetix tycoon. But see this which has further embedded linx: https://www.reddit.com/r/shortwave/comments/1b80kts/who_actually_runs_the_worlds_last_chance_network/ ``r/shortwave • 9 mo. ago mikewhoneedsabike Who actually runs the "World's Last Chance" network? Discussion I've been getting into shortwave recently and have been looking into some of the Christian organizations broadcasting there, such as Overcomer Ministry and as of recent World's Last Chance. With Overcomer Ministry, we know pretty well where their compound is and that Brother Stair was the figure behind it. But what about World's Last Chance? Their trademark registration, which has since expired, lists an Egyptian guy with a Saint Kitts and Nevis P.O. box named "Galal Philip Habib Doss" as the owner but I can't find much about them. Apparently someone named "Fred Myers" from Jamaica monitors their website. Does anyone know more? I am really curious who these people are and why they are all based in odd places such as Egypt, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Jamaica. Side note: although some/a lot/most of their preachings are obviously way out there and they believe a lot of odd flat earth stuff, they use an extremely catchy intro music that is apparently a piece called "Experts Witnessed" by composer Joachim Horsley. Been listening to this on loop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEiOM5uJ6bY Edit: I looked into it more and this article, and this article with further information confirm that they're registered as a LLC in Wyoming (though that address doesn't appear on their website) and that they're indeed headed by Galal P. Ross, who apparently heads a Egyptian cosmetics company that funds the ministry. There is also this deep dive into Ross from 2006 which talks more about his multiple business dealings. Apparently he grew up as a Seventh-day Adventist Church in Egypt but fell off with them and then decided to do his own religious thing. Being a successful businessman, he had the money to burn for it.`` Also notice this undated for which WBCQ are not getting any takers, not even His Magasty Donald Drumpf; and coverage is hardly worldwide: ``The Radio Angela transmitter of WBCQ Radio 5130 KHz is back on the air ready for your programming. We have reconditioned the classic Collins transmitter for more power and improved modulation. The transmitter is available now for program bookings. Prime time is 6pm-12midnight eastern time.
