B22 SEASON SW SCHEDULES

A variety of sources and formats are now linked from the WOR homepage;
click on B22 at
http://www.worldofradio.com
Some of them have not yet been updated, notably bclnews.it due to the
death of Roberto Scaglione last summer amid the A22 season.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Nov 16 at 1459, tune-in LRA36 via
Argentine SDR, song is playing at S6/S7; 1503 sign-on, multi-lingual
ID, staff names; 1504 themesong; 1508 recitation about Belgrano bases
1 and 2; 1510 song; 1513.5 ``nos une`` ID and live YLs for the 31st
program of the Esperanza Audaz season, miércoles 17 de noviembre;
mentions Mundial, imminent SBG; current conditions, 4 degrees, cloudy,
9 kph winds; SR/SS approx. 3 am/10 pm local. There is now a
``penumbra``, not totally dark overnight. They see lights from a lot
of excursions, cruise ships. 1519 contact info, this-week-in-history,
song; 1525 ``su cía`` ID; 1526 more about history of Belgrano bases;
1531 someone on phone, or rather picked up off speakerphone, bad
audio; 1545 song; 1547 connexion to SDR lost, so I find another with
worse reception; 1555 something about magnetic field, ionosphere; 1556
my attention switches to a rare SAQ 17.2 kHz CW transmission, with
great YT coverage! 1608 music, ``nos une`` ID. YL talk continues but
stops abruptly at 1616, and nothing more for 5+ minutes (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6180, Nov 16 at 0754, Brazuguese at S9/+10 and seems // JBA
11780, so RNA apparently just came on before 5 am local (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. This item caught my eye, from Harold Frodge at
another MARE DXpedition, Brighton, Michigan: ``5010 Radio
República via WRMI; 0442, 11/12; ID & SS rlgn & talk re Cubanos.
SIO=453+ (Frodge-DXP)``

That was UT Saturday. I was unaware of this transmission, and
rechecking the WRMI Programming page and skedgrids, there is NO
mention of R.R. at all, strangely enough, just some vague broadcasts
to Cuba via France on 9490. A few weeks ago, there was also a R.R. on
WRMI itself, 5800 at 03-04, but it soon disappeared from the website
and the air.

The transmission grid for WRMI-14, 5010, 181 degrees to Caribbean,
does show System C at 03-06; but nonesuch in the C program grid,
just contradictorily, R. Liberty in Russian at 04-05 on 15770!

Now the 9490 emissions are shown as 01-02 UT on Tue/Wed/Thu; 01-04 UT
on Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon. This is Wed, so 9490 is already off.

5010, Wed Nov 16 at 0344, via TWR Bonaire SDR at S7/9+10 with NO
jamming, I`m tuning in early to check out HF`s report: and find R.R.
is already on air so probably started at 0300 if not even earlier. I
keep monitoring as the only topic at great length seems to be derechos
de trabajo = workers` rights, as if this were Labor Day. As I tuned in
they were quoting Jorge Mas Canosa, and some lemas. Break for WRMI ID
at 0359, and more; still going past 0432. 0439 announces sked for 9490
only. 0443 besides the directorio.org main website, refers to another
site for audio, www.radiorepublica.us Still going past 0500; 0556 says
has been about workers` education, sked again for 9490 only; 0559 WRMI
Spanish ID and 0600 finally switch to The Overcomer Ministry Brother
Stair - TOMBS. Like 9490, the span of this may vary from day to day.

So it appears WRMI is repeating earlier broadcasts on 9490, maybe not
even same date, as this was at least three hours long, while only one
hour was originally scheduled for this day. Nothing about 5010 on air
or on website no doubt has delayed Cuban jamming from attacking it.
Meanwhile the dentroCubans are still absent from 5025 & 5040 - which
BTW could theoretically produce a leapfrog mixing product interfering
with WRMI on 5010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 16 at 2150, S9+15/30 of humwhine only, no
programod in English from R. Cairo; kudos however for consistent
frequency precision at minus 5 Hz! Something`s always egregious in
Egypt, abysmal at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 16 at 2310, token English from REE VG S9+15/30
into Maryland SDR, Coe interview about flamenco performances; 2325
correspondent from Beirut who seems to be a regular. All others on,
weaker but sufficient, 12030 > 11940 > 11685 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Nov 16 at 2310, NO signal from VOT English into
UTwente, only imperial Chinese from East Turkistan, standard
denunciation; into Maryland at 2330 check, not even that (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2164 monitoring: ``From: Richard

** U S A. WRMI: see CUBA [non]

** VANUATU. 7890, Nov 16 at 0738, JBA carrier from R. Vanuatu X 2, but
nothing audible on X 3 = 11835. Manuel Méndez, Spain, was hearing
11835 direct today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5055, Nov 16 at 0755, JBA carrier, probably Radio 4KZ,
Queensland, about equal to 5020 presumed Solomons. No Cubans, WTWW or
anything else above 5010 WRMI to distract (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 2347 UT November 16

** CHINA [and non]. 11590, Nov 15 at 1613, Firedragon jamming I`ve not
run across in a longtime, about equal level to Chinese talk, which is
RFA via TINIAN at 16-19; also 15-16 via Kuwait (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Nov 15 at 0724, S9/+10 open carrier, only RHC remnant
on this or any band, not 10080 either = 2 x 5040 which I forgot to
recheck Nov 14. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13767, 13834, 13633, 13566 approx., Nov 15 at 1604, extremely
distorted FMish spurblobs out of RHC 13700 AM which is S8/9+10,
intervals of about 67 kHz. Outer ones much weaker, and the lowest
QRMing CODAR. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauserr, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13606 approx., Nov 15 at 2220, RHC spurblob FMish with F#
tone, extremely distorted talk, would make a better jammer than mere
noise if Martí were still on 13605! Obviously out of clear AM
13740 transmitter amid all the others I then find to 2227, same
unit no doubt as in mornings out of 13700. They are all broad and hard
to pinpoint, so I try to pick where the FM be loudest: 13673, 13808,
13877, 13948, 14008; 13534, 13467; some approx. intervals of 67-68
kHz. Note, so bad that extends into 20m hamband: that ought to get
attn of intruder-watchers. Could be yet another circa 14075, but a
huge digital hamblob already there. The lowest two QRM with CODAR.
Innocent 13680 AM RHC is also on. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9535, Nov 15 at 2213, RHC Spanish ID, S9/+10 but JBM. I check
some others: 9710 a little better, S9+30/40; 11850 at 2218 S9+5/25 but
suptorted to JBM. No signals on 15370 or 15730. Also patrolled all
bands 5 to 17 MHz for any RHC English: nowhere, including ex-11880.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 15 at 2212, R. Cairo S8/S9 of dead air with
whine, no programod. Something`s always egregious in Egypt - not only
this but horrible dictatorship vs human rights, so we shouldn`t be too
sad they can`t propagandize (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15680, Nov 15 at 2228, S9 of some chanty music; 2229 dead
air; 2230 AWR theme, KSDA ID in English, next in Indonesian. 2200
listed as in ``NJ Ngaju Dayak: Indonesia-Borneo (0.9m) [nij]`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 15 at 0735 at first nothing, then JBA
carrier from R. Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI [non]. 5995, Nov 15 at 0723, JBA carrier. By now presumably
Echo of Hope, VOH from S to N Korea, its jumparound channel this week?
Not checked earlier, as ORTM used to dominate from 0600 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 15 at 0733, no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.018, Nov 15 at 2220, VOT English is S9+40 into UTwente
but undermodulated and hummy vs CCCCCCI undercurrent (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 7520, Nov 15 at 2230, VP S5/S8 English headlines, sounds
like BBC. Yes, this hour only via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES for
Indonesia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2164 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday
November 15 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, JBA into Maryland SDR but S9/+5 into
Missouri SDR. BTW at 0303 recheck all three 9 MHz frequencies appeared
to be off. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba]
0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW

** U S A. In a phone conversation early UT Nov 15, George McClintock
explains what`s going on with WTWW; from my scribbled notes reflecting
his POV:

Ted Randall is definitely out of the picture. He does not and never
has had any ownership in Leap Of Faith, licensee of WTWW, despite the
entry as such in Wikipedia. Ted can do whatever he wants elsewhere,
but can`t call it WTWW. George is on the books as head of LOF, but in
effect had sold his interest to Scriptures for America, the defacto
owner.

He has been to the transmitter site and finds it quite in disarray.
Both transmitters had been operated with their doors open, which is a
no-no, perhaps accounting for splatter. Neither would work until he
fiddled with them, finally got them on for brief low-power ~5 kW
tests. Cooling water was discolored, dirty. About half the modulation
cards missing from each. Tuning to 9 MHz band done incorrectly.

Plans to get WTWW back on air with SFA on one transmitter, variety of
preachers on the other, but no music.

Meanwhile, `WRMI Legends` has appeared in scattered areas of the WRMI
program schedule, no doubt Ted Randall`s stuff. Not clear if these
will axually start Nov 15, and there may be further adjustments:

On the transmission grid, UT, System, Xmtr#, Frequency:
22-23 G 6 9395
23-24 L 8 5950
23-24 L 5 9455
00-01 C 5 9455

On the more detailed programming grid, only the first matching above:
23-24 L 5950 daily
02-03 F 5850 7730 15770 Sunday
03-04 G 9395 Mon Tue Thu Fri Sun

Ted still controls the WTWW.us website, but which is now referring to
WRMI Legends ``live nightly on WRMI soon``.

Later: yes, there`s Ted Nov 15 at 2209 on S9+30/40 WRMI 9395 after
disco music, ``we`re back, WRMI Legends``, then Atlas Weather with
Erika Walters centred on Miami, but also diverse spots like Escanaba.
Does this sorta replace BBB`s `Oldies` filler? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Nov 15 at 0729, JJBBA carrier, but none audible on
11835, harmonix of RV 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2326 UT November 16

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 14 at 0646, music on RHC English still on air,
S9+20/30, // 6060 S9+10 but louder, and // 6165 S4/S8 undermodulated
JBA. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13568, 13634, 13766, 13832, all approx., Nov 14 at 1601,
extremely distorted first- and second-order FMish spurblobs at ~66 kHz
intervals from still on at S6/S9, 13700 AM; but not audible a further
66 out circa 13898. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 5060, 4980, 4850, 4500, Nov 15 at 0041, JBA
carriers on this quartet make it 100% certain that these are PBS
Xinjiang, Urumqi, now on their winter channels for Chinese, Uyghur,
Kazakh and Mongolian, respectively -- as in Aoki, but EiBi lax them
all and in fact no other stations anywhen on any of them. From the
land of imperialist Chicom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems.
4500 has a bit more Doppler flutter upon it, different azimuths? The
full Aoki shows 5060 & 4980 as 100 kW at 230 degrees; 4850 100 kW ND;
4500 50 kW ND (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9902.570, 0000 UT Nov 9, S3/S4 of dead air, presumed R.
Cairo 9900 S American disservice. Something`s always egregious in
Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK) Oops! Date and time I had omitted

** MADAGASCAR. 15355, Nov 14 at 1945, S7/S9 open carrier or JBM:
scheduled is AWR in Ibo at 1930-2000 to be followed 2000-2030 by
French. Is no one paying attention at Talata? Ibo a.k.a. Igbo, spoken
by 18 megaNigerians, but now listened to by zero. Explained on a very
colorful website:
https://www.uiulosangeles.org/post/igbo-vs-ibo-1
``Ibo was finally replaced by Igbo as the modern and correct spelling
in the early 70's using the Igbo alphabet a, gb, ib etc… Please note
that some historical books especially those printed before the 70's
will refer to Igbo as Ibo`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 14 at 0634, no signal from VON, where
something`s always abysmal at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Nov 14 at 1910, N American frequency of REE is JBA
direct, this early after weekday *1900; much better on ME 12030,
S9/+10 and SAm 11940, S9. Any higher band would be preferable for us.

By 2300, 9690 is VG into Maryland SDR for token M/W/F English.
Including at 2320 Justin Coe interviewing Cornelius, a guy who plays
blues from his trike upon which two dozen instruments are mounted.
That I`d like to see as well as hear: briefly and talked over for a
minute, ``St James Infirmary Blues``; morphing into a Louis Armstrong
version. But that too is cut off for the final sesquiminute of some
other music. Come, on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 14 at 2337-2340, VOT with `Did You Know That` ---
what? Again the YL is so accented and the talk audio fi so lo, that it
would take more concentration than I can muster to follow. VG S9/+20
into UTwente, but some hum. 2352 sign/off, 2353 IS and off by 2354*
uncovering ChiCom which TRT completely covered before (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Nov 14 at 1940-1943 among plenty CW 10m ham
beacons, a few I copy are all relogs:
28197, VE7MTY/B
28214+, W6REK/B
28218, VVV DE N6SPP/B
28269+, DE AA1TT/B
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2164 monitoring: Confirmed Sunday
November 13 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz not 918 or 207,
S9+5/15 into Noale SDR, SAH and slight CCI from understation,
presumably Smooth Radio, England.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 14 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, best into S
Louisiana SDR, S5/S9 but reception breaking up; also tried others in
LA, TX. WRMI-13 still listed on 222 degree beam toward C America, tho
one such antenna was reportedly going to take months to repair; is
this a different one, yet same azimuth? Very unfavorable thisaway some
90 degrees clockwise, off the side.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 14 at 0130 on WRMI 5950, VG
S9+20/30, WRMI-8 aimed 355 degrees.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 13 from 0402 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160
minus 64 Hz = 6159.936, but JBA into Maryland SDR, with plenty ACI
from 6165 Cuba. On QRP, or bad propagation? JL ran over again. Next:

0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba]
0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW

** U S A. Nov 14 at 2140 UT I see that WTWW.us homepage now says:

``If You LOVED us on 5085!! We are moving`` -- and I suspect where. As
early as last Thursday there were some ``WTWW`` files on a WRMI System
server. So I ask Jeff White about it November 14, WTWWRMI? He replies
at 2253 UT:

``Glenn: It seems that they are already announcing things on the WTWW
webstream, so yes, I can confirm that we are in negotiations to
transmit some of the former programming of WTWW on one or more WRMI
frequencies. But we have no schedule yet. Jeff White, General Manager,
WRMI Radio Miami International``. Also says those WTWW files are for
next Wavescan produxion.

Dave Zantow also reported at 2239: ``As I listen on-line to the still
active WTWW TX 2 audio feed today, we hear WRMI now made comment too.
So, it appears that the 5085 Khz Rock-Pop feed will or has already
moved to a WRMI frequency? Hopefully minus the "Bible Babble" which I
doubt. Dave Zantow N9EWO, Janesville, WI, "Dave's Radio Receiver Page"
https://www.qsl.net/n9ewo/ ``

Also glad to find that the non-promoted classical stream WTWW offers
is still running. I listen for about an hour from 2140 Nov 14:
https://wtww.us/pages/listen-live/classical.php
However, without any announcements to ID the music, nor visually.
Mostly short pieces including some vocals; clashing generic WTWW ID at
2207 treating Our National Anthem as if were mere produxion music. At
2214 a classical piece was cut off and another one started. I wonder
what`s the source and how programmed, a ``jukebox``? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Nov 14 at 0634, no signal from R. Vanuatu, so still
on 5040 before 0659? But at 0705, JBA carrier on 11835, even weaker on
7890, harmonix of 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7590, Nov 14 at 0632, SW Asian language, S9/S7,
something new? Nothing listed but maybe R. Farda upslide from 7585
where nothing heard, registered 0230-0830 via Kuwait (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0120 UT November 15

** CANADA. 2598 USB, Nov 13 at 0745 UT, synthYL with marine weather,
S5/S3. Sounds like same on 2749 USB, but both too weak to try to // as
synchro on second receiver. Per dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm, starting at
0737 on 2598 is VCP-4, Placentia NL, 3000 watts; and from 0740 on
2749, VCO Sydney NS, 550 watts, both as first broadcasts of a new
morning, at 4:07 am in NL, 3:40 am in NS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 10080, Nov 13 at 0756, RHC is here! S4/S8 in Spanish; in a
routine check for possible harmonic of Vanuatu 5040, which is still a
JBA carrier, surely not Cuba there. The sloppyrators at Bauta must
have accidentally tuned up the 5040 transmitter to its second
harmonic! With all others off by 0759, will Esperanto show here at
0800? NO, RHC news sounder and news in Spanish past 0805 when I zonk.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, UT Sun Nov 13 at 0751, RHC English is still on in jazz
show featuring a familiar Brazilian YL singer, S7/S9 but
undermodulated; and also on 6060, S8/S9 with better mod and some hum.
So all set for weekly Sunday Esperanto at 0800? NO, both are off by
0759, while 10080 continues in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Sunday Nov 13 at 1600 RHC Spanish ID, theme, to
continue on 15140 & 11760 & FM only; 1601 opening weekly Esperanto,
with schedule still claimed to be Sun 0800 on 6100, 1600 on 11760
only, and 2330 on 15730. Has RHC put up a B-22 sked by now? Of course
not! Now TWO YEARS OLD, B-20 skeds, in Spanish:
https://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/frecuencias

HORARIOS, BANDAS Y FRECUENCIAS EN ESPAÑOL
PERIODO NOVIEMBRE 2020/MARZO 2021
CAMBIO DE HORARIO Y FRECUENCIA 17 DE NOVIEMBRE

And note the late effective date, so when in 2022?

Likewise the English sked:
https://www.radiohc.cu/en/de-interes/frecuencias
And Esperanto:
https://www.radiohc.cu/eo/de-interes/frecuencias

Something`s always wrong at RHC. Also, listening to first few minutes,
I catch them in Spanish-influenced stressmistakes: ``Amériko`` and
``polítiko`` instead of Ameríko and politíko`` -- and this will be
nonsense if an editor strip my accents off these; for clarity as in
Esp`o, everything is penultimate with no acutes required (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13567, 13633, 13767, 13834 approx., Nov 13 at 1517, RHC
spurblobs out of 13700 transmitter which is only S2/S4 itself. The
difficult to pinpoint broadband blobs suffer from extremely distorted
modulation, F#? tone. Same thing was happening last night out of q.v.
13740, no doubt same defective Bauta transmitter. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [non]. 15160, Nov 13 at 1523, good signal in unknown
language. EiBi shows at 1500-1600 it`s Dimtse Woyane in TIG = Tigrinya
via Issoudun, FRANCE; subject to Ethiopian DRMish noise jamming, but
none audible here now.

From http://www.eibispace.de/dx/README.TXT
info about lang. abbrs. confusingly in two different systems:

TIG Tigrinya/Tigray: Ethiopia (4m), Eritrea (3m) [tir]
TGR Tigre/Tigré/Tigrawit: Eritrea (1m) [tig]
On the right in [brackets] the ISO 639-3 (SIL) language code for
reference. For more information on language [abc] visit
https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/abc
I wonder how different be TIG and TGR. SIL = Summer Institute of
Linguistix, gospel huxters but with remarkable language work (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. New WORLD OF RADIO schedule on WRN: See USA
[and non]

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 13 at 0736, no signal from R. Kiribati,
presumably another silent Sunday night. No other 9/kHz split carriers
audible either, TP or TA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15605, Nov 13 at 1522, S6/S9 in unknown language. EiBi
shows at 1500-1530 it`s AWR in MZ to NIn = MZ Mizo / Lushai:
India-Mizoram (0.7m) [lus], and nothing else anywhen on 15605 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sun Nov 13 at 0156, tune in this WRMI for
`Encore` at 0200 but classical music is already playing: I had
forgotten that the 01-02 schedule would stick rather than shift an
hour later on this System -- presumably it`s `Encore` as what else
would be classical on WRMI! There is no spoken outro as Brice Avery
always closes out before playing the last piece. Then to my surprise,
after ID, `Encore` starts -- again, at 0200 instead of scheduled
`Teachers Corner` -- mistake or deliberate? Anyhow, I can hear the
whole hour now and it matches the Nov 12 Playlist. What will happen
next week? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Nov 13 at 0750, JBA carrier presumed SIBC,
even weaker than 5040 Vanuatu; in the convenient absence of both
Cubans from 5025 & 5040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WRN provides the correct new times for WORLD OF
RADIO via satellite and streaming. AAP = Africa/Asia/Pacific. The 0230
UT Sunday time I have also confirmed. These have already been
integrated into:

** VANUATU. 5040, Nov 13 at 0638, JBA carrier here and not 7260, so
must be R. Vanuatu, in absence of CUBA [q.v. which IS on 10080!]. At
0733 slightly stronger JBAC on 5040 and no signals on 7890 or 11835,
so unusually this time must not have switched to 3945++ at 0700. By
0750, trace of modulation on 5040, not just carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
