Glenn Hauser logs June 14-15, 2024

Sunday, June 16 2024

** BRAZIL [non]. 9665v, June 15 circa 0630, NO signal from RVM. If
anything beyond USA be audible on 31m this hour, it`s normally RVM.
Suspect it be off. At 1442, JBA carrier, likely CHINA, CNR5 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE [non]. See USA: WRMI 9955

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [non]. RF 27.5, KAUT ``43`` OKC, screenshot of
the CW colorbars they broadcast for a quarter-hour at 2330 UT June 14,
as in last report under OKLAHOMA:
https://www.w4uvh.net/KAUT_CW_CB.jpg

Google: ``The network's name is derived from the first letters of the
names of its two founding co-owners CBS Corporation and Warner Bros.,
with CBS Corporation being merged with the second iteration of Viacom
to form ViacomCBS and Warner Bros. being owned by Time Warner, later
AT&T's WarnerMedia.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.86 AM, June 15 at 2205, local Enid CB pirate
finally heard again // relaying 105.5 K288FX, `K-Love` translator of
KYLV 88.9 OKC, praise music. I`ve checked for this often, several
times a week, last logged May 5. And like before, there are two more
signals on other CB channels in //: 27164.5 stronger than 27184.86,
S9+20 vs S9+10, absolutely steady groundwave, BUT modulation much
louder on the upper one, so which is a spur? And a JBA much weaker in
sig and mod on 27144.15, approx. The measurements match, about 20.35
kHz apart. Will be interesting if anyone ever DX this by skip vs CB
pileups (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, June 15 at 1456, K17JN-D, the 3ABN satellator,
only local TV signal in Enid, is definitely back on air now at usual
sufficient strength on STB meter. And still misnames itself
``K17JI-D`` which is really in California! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** POLAND [non]. See USA: WRMI 9955. It would be nice if they happen
to relay R. Poland ES at a more awake hour than 0700 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 15 at 2210, NO signal direct from VOT
English; nor even unto UTwente checked at 2210, nor on
previous/possible accidental/alternates, 11795 or 9875. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2247 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday June 15 at 0400-0429 on WTWW, 5085, S9+5/15 into NH SDR and I
am sure VG all over N America and beyond.

Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1454 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6159.001, S9/S7 and noisy into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1600 on WRN North America
webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1730 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
both 6160+ and 3975+ into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1930 on WRMI webcast only and WRN
North America webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday June 15 at 1956 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, S9+15 into
nearby MO remote, about 6 minutes into, so the 1930v started about
1950. Next:

2300 UT Saturday WTWW 9475;
0000 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];

73702.

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9955, Sat June 15 at 0633, like last weekend, WRMI
stays on here overnight, news in Spanish, from what? Last week I
thought it were RAE relay since several news items about Argentina.
This week I keep listening past 0700. M&W anchors speak very rapidly,
and I do not detect an Argie or Castilian accent. Problem is Cuban
pulse jamming almost as strong as this only fair signal direct. 0638
again items about Argentina. 0643 I thought they mentioned ``Radio Paz
Internacional en Francia`` but not correct or at least not an ID. 0647
``Radio Francia Internacional``; 0657 item about some Festival ``aquí
en París``. 0659 another definite ID as R. Francia Internacional;
pause, no WRMI ID, and like last week at 0700 starts ``Radio Poland
External Service``, in English as on WRN sked, datestamped as ``Friday
June 14``, so yesterday`s show. Time for me to quit/QRT.

Note: RFI has not broadcast Spanish on SW for many years, but still as
in WRTH 2005; in WRTH 2024 you would not even know they still have
Spanish webcasts, but see this:
https://www.rfi.fr/es/programas/
Probably same things on 9955 UT Sundays, but not on air this late
weekdays.

This is still not accounted for on the WRMI skedgrids. Xmtr 3 9955
shows TOMBS Sat & Sun at 04-11 UT. System B sked however now shows R.
Francia Internacional daily at 1-2 am EDT = 0500-0600 UT, not
0600-0700, internet only except Sat & Sun also 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, June 15 at 0630, fourth night in a row, still no
signal from R. Vanuatu; nor on 7890 in case it be on 3945 instead and
resume harmonicizing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Saturday, June 15 2024

** ANTARCTICA [non]. 15474.728, Fri June 14 at 1459 past 1500, JBA
carrier at S4/S7 into LU5AGQ remote in Argentina, and no sign of LRA36
15475.98 RC USB if it`s still on as scheduled. The spoiler is
UZBEKISTAN site with Furusato no Kaze for Korea North (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BARBADOS. 28436 USB, June 14 at 2203, 8P5KM, calling CQ Parx on the
Air and working mostly UStations, and a ZL. Hard to copy his call
correctly: penultimate letter fonetik sounded like sierra or zulu?
must have been kilo as per dxheat contacts on same frequency; also
uttering ``BB0013``. Neither SM nor ZM in QRZ.com, but 8P5KM is not
either! QRZ.com of course is voluntary and unofficial but it`s rare to
hear a station yet unfound there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140 & 11760, June 14 at 1450, both possible RHC frequencies
are NOT on the air. Someething`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.9, June 13 at 1901 UT check on caradio, KIMY Watonga
is *still* dead air in $ tereo, that is about 23 hours since I first
noticed it June 12 at 2019. AND, **still** dead air in $ tereo June 14
at 1528, and 2052; and 2215 when I get RDS display of THE_____ /
GOSPEL__ / STATION_. Of course I have not monitored constantly, but no
reason to believe they were ever modulating for the last 51 hours at
least and no telling how long before that.

IMHO, a station so incompetent as to broadcast nothing for such a
stretch deserves to have its license revoked, so something else can
make better use of the spectrum! OTOH, the less gospel-huxtering on
OUR AIR, the better. FYI, spelling $ tereo with a dollar sign has no
financial implication, just a convention stemming from the late Bruce
Elving`s FM Atlases, a single $ synbol in listings (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 27, 43-1, June 14 at 2330, KAUT supposed to be
carrying NBC Nightly [sic] News, shunted from an hour earlier on its
primary station KFOR with stupid ballgame preemption. Instead until
2336 we see color bars and a CW network feed with UT timer to the
fraxion of a second abottom. 2336 briefly switches to KFOR slide, back
to CW, and floating white square to prove it hasn`t frozen, Also
labeled:
Primary G19, Transponder 15, Service 1
Secondary G35, Transponder 20, Service 1
Along with tone. Still past 2344 with occasional interruptions. 2345
finally starts some sitcom, not any NBC NN, tsk2. First noted this on
Optimum cable ch 2, then direct via antenna, KAUT`s primary RF channel
is 19 but it`s one of few ATSC 3.0 stations, invisible here.
Rabbitears.info shows orginary ATSC of KAUT is really RF 27.5 (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, June 14 at 2200, token English from SNR, again MQ
only, preview interview with editor of Madrid Review, and then some
special event coming up on June 14; news, S9+30/40 direct, and the
other three also audible, 17715, 15520, 15390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, June 14 at 2159, VOT IS, S9+10 direct but too
much noise. At 2236 into UTwente when measured, S9+25/35, music; 2237
`That`s Why` repeat on how a serpent became the symbol for medicine:
wish I could follow what Ms Badax is trying to enunciate; 2244 music;
2248 ``Always-by-your-side`` promo; 2249 music; 2253 s/off by the OM
ignoring SW; 2254.6 IS a couple times and off shortly before 2253*
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2247 monitoring: confirmed Friday
June 14 at 2057 the 2030 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz, S9+15
into nearby Noale SDR.

Not confirmed Fri June 14 at 2057 the 2030 on WRMI webcast only as
still on System B sked: music, instead.

Confirmed Friday June 14 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, first SW broadcast,
S9+10/20 direct but seems undermodulated; no jamming audible.

Also confirmed Friday June 14 at 2232 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.003, S9+5 into UTwente.

WOR confirmed UT Friday June 14 2229-2234 on World FM mp3 stream, New
Zealand, but I think it was old 2246 not 2247. Stations should hasten
to get new WOR on air ASAP as there may be some perishable info.

** U S A. 3265.171, June 14 at 2348, this WBCQ is on for a change,
S7/S8 into NH SDR with FKB preacher // 7489.929, S9+15. 5130 is still
OFF. 6159.930 with another gospel huxter, S7/S9. 2359 Allan comes on,
sounds like live for a change, then starts his WTO theme, for the 0000
UT Saturday June 15 broadcast of `AAAWWW`, after 7 weeks of reruns.
I`m listening to 3265+. Sweetheart/Darlin`, is not to be heard at
first from remote, fiddling with patch bay. Admits a while since a
live shew, normal spring/summer hiatus, tremendously busy; his
birthday 71 was June 12. ``The whole world is being rigged for World
War III`` -- we can`t do this, got to stop it. Gotta get a landslide
going, like in EU leaning more to ``common sense``. So it`s going to
be all or mostly politix. By 0011 has drifted down to 3265.158.
Credits Angela with ``saving my life``. *rump will keep America from
going Communist. [yeah, right, rather Fascist]. As usual, Angela
sounds even more radical as she yells over the phone, from Fla? WBCQ
has a SW receiving-room, radios set up to feed into mixing board in
case they have to relay something else with no other programming
available. 0025 datestamp at 14 of June 2024, simulcasting on 3265 and
7490. Later he delusions that *rump back in the WH will call Putin and
Zelenskiy and tell them to end the war; that`s that. ``Creatures like
Biden and Trudeau are treasonous, communist bastards, must be
removed``, he imagines. Joins Hal Turner a sesquiminute late (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 96.7, June 14 at 1530 UT, ``Sports Radio 96.7 and 1310, The
Ticket`` from DFW Metroplex market is strong enough briefly to unsee
any $ tereo icon, i.e. talk format is in mono. FYI, $ tereo instead of
mono automatically reduces the full-quieting coverage area of an FM
station; by what percentage? This is 90/90 kW KTCK-FM. NOT flagged as
Mono mode in WTFDA FM Database. Some talk stations stay in $ tereo
anyway, since some receivers used to ignore mere mono stations; is
this still a problem? And occasional $ tereo music in commercials,
etc., really stands out.

Lacking any sporadic E FM DX, also noticed in this caradio bandscan,
June 14 at 1535 UT, the Bott station on 94.3 west of Wichita in Kansas
is also in mono, i.e. KCVW 100/100 kW in Kingman, not flagged mono in
WTFDA FMDB. Are all Bott FMs in mono? Need to check 95.1 KQCV 100/100
kW ``Shawnee`` = OKC. Searching Slogan field, there are 112 Bott hits
in the DB, many of them translators, not a single one `mono` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, June 14 at 0648, NO signal from R. Vanuatu, third
night in a row. What`s the problem now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
