** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Sept 10 tuning Argentine remote
from 1439, nothing yet. SDR thinx I am in Amarillo TX, IP confusion?
Also Gary Pence in Dallas, someone in Hamburg. LRA36 cuts on air *1454
with sufficient S6/S7 music; 1502 canned standard sign-on with 4
languages, staff list, ``Nacional, la radio publica``. 1503 Esperanza
themesong. 1507 historical bit mentioning Alasca and Groenlandia. 1511
song. 1515 ID ``su compañía``, then ``live`` YL chat. One of them is
out sick. Not sure of program number mentioned but should have been
#20; geo coords; Base founded 17 dic 1952.

Mentions ``viernes, 9 de setiembre``, so the missing Wed 7 Sept
broadcast must have been on Friday instead when I did not check for
it, nor anyone? 1520 multi-platform contact info starting with phone
numbers, too fast and not repeated: give us a break if you want
contacts. 1521 birthday greeting to someone who has completed another
year; 1523 song but chopped off air at 1524* and never comes back! Yet
another transmitter failure, why? And why won`t/don`t they ever turn
it back on? I wonder if it only be sporadic electrical fluid. Yes,
it`s off: always a good idea to recheck the SDR in case it have been
inadvertently knocked off frequency.

Remotely possible they tried again circa 1800, as once publicized for
Sats, but not checked until 1922, nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 9 circa 2115, no signal direct from R. Cairo;
nor any at 2200 check into UTwente, rather some loud clicking from
something else. Something`s amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, Sat Sept 10 at 1853 tune-in via Canary SDR, R. Mali,
S7/S9+5, already in weekly English that I can scarcely understand, so
heavy are the accents of the alternating W & M scriptreaders. Storm
crashes from all over Morocco, some blaaps and running water QRM, some
ACI from 5990 unless avoided. Finished 1906, French ID, music (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 10 at 0646, VON is on; almost sounds like
English intonation rather than Hausa, but too sleepy to concentrate.
Might be something to do with EIIR*.

7255-, Sept 10 at 1853, no VON signal into Canary SDR. Not checked
earlier but I suppose no English from 1630 today (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27185 approx., Sept. 10 at 1915 UT, undermodulated music
and ``The Hawk`` ID, on SW caradio in motion in Enid; one of its
memories is programmed for this CB channel. Once again, the pirate
relay of 97.7 KHRK Hennessey -- only 3.9 kW ERP so needs some help?
No, already blasts into nearby Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Sept 10 circa 1850 UT on caradio a few blox W of
downtown Enid, open carrier vs the two weaker stations in KS and OK:
not unusual to encounter such a mystery, perhaps someone`s RF feeder
in a car left on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, KOPX OKC, I`m looking for NEWSY on 62-7, morning
of Sept 10, but it`s ShopLC instead! Whew, lineup has been rearranged
with NEWSY still there but on 62-6. The complete octostation:

62-8, HSN
62-7, ShopLC
62-6, NEWSY
62-5, TruReal
62-4, Grit
62-3, CourTV
62-2, Bounce
62-1, ION
So it seems the secondary ION channel has been eliminated. I was going
to notify RabbitEars about this, but they already have it; maybe it
has been at least a week since I last sought NEWSY.

KOPX is fortunately among the OKC stations always available thru
rooftop antenna, but not my rabbitears. NEWSY, at least, is anti-cable
by design. Info:
https://rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=kopx

DA pattern has 8 equally spaced peaks and valleys around 360 degrees:
Max 200 kW, Min 108.63, Avg 140.43; 1532 feet HAAT surely helps.

My STB remembers when it was still on RF 50 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 9 at 2200, REE token English, to NAm VG into
Maryland; Justin Coe previews feature will be his interview with
bluesman Corey Harris, which starts at 2214. He must have a huge
archive of such stuff from his Ruta 61 show. US 61 runs up the western
edge of Mississippi east of the River, into Memphis; thence crosses
over to west of River in Arkansas, all the way thru Missouri, Iowa,
similar to I-55 as far as St. Louis. Crosses River from Dubuque into
Wisconsin at its SW corner but soon back across into Minnesota as far
as Twin Cities. It originally ran thru Duluth almost to the Canadian
border, outmoded by I-35 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.003, Sept 9 at 2200, VOT is on today, VG with only
lite squeal, but I`m mainly listening to Spain. Missed topic of
`Feeling Supreme` but followed at 2242 by `Did You Know That`, about
``Turkish Delight`` which has been around for 1600, or was it 2600
years. ``Turkish delight or lokum is a family of confections based on
a gel of starch and sugar. Premium varieties consist largely of
chopped dates, pistachios, hazelnuts or walnuts bound by the gel;
traditional varieties are often flavored with rosewater, mastic gum,
bergamot orange, or lemon. Wikipedia`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2155 monitoring: confirmed Friday
September 9 at 1815.3 on IRRS SW, 7290 via BULGARIA, S9/+10 into
UTwente; and // AM Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 AND 918 kHz but not LW
207 kHz. Maybe IRRS noticed my observation that 918 gets less QRM than
1323, so brought it back; but you never know. 918 into nearby Noale
SDR at S9+22, while 1323 is generally below the CCI in German from
Romania, worse than usual. Again, I monitor the whole hour:

From 1755, 918 >> 1323, music of unknown origin. 1800 brief ``IRRS SW
signing on`` and `Feature Story News`. As always, 7290 JIP late a bit
before *1801. Guess what the only topic is, also for Spotlite segment
at 1803; 1805 IRRS ID by YL still asserting totally wrong frequency
7125 long gone, plus 918 and recently added 1323; `UN News in Brief`.
1808 raucous music fill of unknown origin; 1813 `UN News in Brief` --
again? Wasn`t paying attn at 1805 whether same topix now. 1815 chop
for a different IRRS plug/ID without frequencies, and WOR 2155
complete to 1844; at 1840 checked UTwente for 14580 = 2 x 7290 but not
audible this time.

1844 bit of music, OM ID with Milan address; 1845 blues? music; 1848
unID DJ introduces an Irish jig, `The Cat`s Miaou`, no program name
either. 7290 cuts off air already at 1855* instead of 1857. Back to
918, I find that still on but dead air, S9+22 of it. Shortly ID for AM
Italia on 207 & 918 & 1323 kHz (kee-lo-hertz) by synth? YL. Never
heard on 207 this hour nor for many weeks but does not mean it`s never
on, tho I don`t see it reported in European MWDX clubs. `She`
concludes with address info@amitalia.it, cute ESL ``Have a nice
listening``; then a timecheck in Italian uncopied, music.

Meanwhile on 1323 kHz the music has CCI and rumble; 1859 closing
German announcement from Romania, tone. 918 remains much better as at
1901 they both play the Verdi closing theme of IRRS; yet neither MW
frequency is going off the air now, and the SW is already long gone.

Also confirmed Friday September 9 at 2052 the 2030 on AM Italia 1323
at S9+15 and rough; and much better 918 at S9+22, not 207. 1323 also
has ACI from 1314 and less so from 1332. Both 918 & 1323 marred by
storm noise from lightning right over NE Italy & vicinity. 2059 WOR
finished, fragment of `Country Jamboree` opening, nexus.org ID,
`Feature Story News`; 2108 song.

Should anyone run across WOR on WRMI at a secret/unlisted time, such
as Friday evening, do let us know: this has happened in the past.

Also confirmed UT Saturday September 10 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela,
5130 minus 24/27 Hz, S6/S8 into Maryland remote. And:

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Sept 12 at 0000, WBCQ stream with `AAAWWW`
- a new one but an immediate turn-off as he starts by insulting us by
equivalenting Communists = Socialists = Democrats = Biden, not
necessarily in that order. Back toward the end of show he`s fishing
around for the new issue of Free Radio News -- he means Weekly, not
realizing that of the three rotating editors, only Harold gets it out
ASAP after the UT Sat 0000 deadline; Larry is next; but it`s the
following morning before Dave does it, including this week.

BTW, `The Score` this week about movies that bombed despite their
great music, includes variations on William Tell about :25 minutes

** U S A. 94.5, Sat Sept 10 at 1800 UT as I am driving around Enid and
bandscanning, ``K-state Wildcats`` in and out. There are two
possibilities: WIBW Topeka, but the one on that network is KSKL, per
https://freefootballradio.com/kansasstate.html
i.e. `Mix 94`, 100 kW, 93 m, Scott City, 335 km = 208 miles. Just a GW
scatter fluke, no DX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7932+, Sept 10 at 0647, R. Vanuatu still here, S6/S7 music
on 2 x 3966; maybe a carrier trace on X 3 = 11898+ (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

This report despatched at 2002 UT September 10

** CUBA. 11670, Sept 9 at 0637, RHC English, S9/+10, again wrong
frequency which should have closed in Spanish much earlier. 6165 is
also still on at S9+30; and this time 5040 is also in English instead
of usual Spanish, S9+20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Sept 8 at 0650, JBA carrier but marred by unusual
music splash from 850 -- that is what led me to check 850, for KFUO or
WQRM at night. See also USA: 850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 9 at 0643, VON is on, S9/+10 direct but
undermodulated Hausa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. (7730), UR1 via WRMI presumed still at 0500, for

For Sept 6, but no date or warday uttered by best-spoken YL,
including: U demands R open humanitarian corridor for civilian
evacuation around Zap. power plant. One of 6 reactors continues to
produce electricity for cooling needed. But disconnected from grid.
Was seized by R on 4 March. U fighters destroyed R chopper. Central
Kharkiv hit by missiles, rescue ops underway still. R employs UAVs to
drop explosives. Pres. Z conversed with SOTH Nancy Pelosi. Junior
Eurovision Song Contest competitors to be selected Sept. 18. JESC will
be Dec 11 in Yerevan, Armenia.

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_07_09_22.mp3
For Sept 7, Day 196, with the accented fast-talker guy slowed down,
including: 27 air strikes in one day by U against R. R continues
missiling civilian targets, villages. Should set up special tribunal
for R war criminals. Putin blames U for starting it. IAEA and Zap. NPP
news. Reuters pronounced Rooters. EU condemns R activities around
plant. Local residents trying to flee to Kyiv area. Baltic countries
agree not to allow Russian drivers in? Visa restrixions, except for
humanitarian reasons. R citizens will face delays, obstacles in
getting visas to Europe, not their fault but Putin`s (Glenn Hauser,

WOR 2155 confirmed first SWBCs, UT Friday September 9 at 0130 on
WRMIs: 7730, S9+5/15 into Maryland SDR; 5850 VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Friday September 9 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+5/8 into
Maryland. Once again on this System/airing, the first 10
seconds or so are hit by a noise
burst which is obviously also coming out of the WRMI transmitter, the
immediately preceding canned ID in the clear.

Also confirmed Friday September 9 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S9/S7 into
Maryland SDR with some deep fading but no jamming audible.

I have asked Jeff if he could find any time, and frequency for WOR on
Friday evenings = early UT Saturdays, but none known, nor shown on a
just updated Sept 9, but still outdated skedgrid at:

** U S A [and non]. 850, Sept 9 at 0112 UT, as planned, I am checking
KFUO Clayton MO, the LCMS station, just before legal Denver sunset
sign-off: hymn, 0114 cut to canned sign-off, and itself chopped off
before finished at 0115* as transmitter turned off. Yet another
station lacking the finesse of human operation, for ignorant, clumsy
automation. Before off, compared with KOA on DX-398, from which not
much signal yet, but I am not hearing the 1+ Hz SAH I was getting in
the middle of last night with that Christian music unID. Anyhow KFUO
is definitely off tonight, nor am I hearing any trace of WQRM Duluth
which should have signed off earlier. The only SAH is a much faster
one with unknown else. Nor at 0615 am I hearing anything but talk from
KOA, altho poor, no musiQRM. And the KIRITIMATI carrier on 846, which
draws me to this bandpart in first place is again JBA.

As for the hymn heard last night, ``By his hand, he leadeth me``, I
enjoy trying to Latinize stuff, so run that thru Google translate,
resulting in: per manum suam adduxit me -- reverse: he led me by his
hand

That seems a bit cumbersome so I enter what I think it should be in
Latin: manu suo me duxit is, for reverse translation, and get:
He led me with his hand

However, leadeth is present, not past tense, don`t you know?
So what about, ``by his hand he leads me``? That can be boiled down
to: me manu duxit

But present tense ``he leads me`` is just: ducit me. ducit is the
proper verb, indicative present tense, third person singular. Duxit is
the same but indicative perfect, i.e.. past tense.

BTW, if you leave out the pronoun, you can hardly Capitalise it,
deity-wise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7932.05, Sept 9 at 0558 past 0600, R. Vanuatu still here
vs CODAR on 2 x 3966+; better at 0635, inaudible on 3966; trace JBA
carrier 11898+ vs huge Chinese on 11895. Cannot stay awake past 0700
QSY, but Gary Pence and Wolfgang Bueschel reconfirm 4310+, 8620+,
12930+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1753 UT September 9

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 8 at 0623, VON is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2154 monitoring: missed checking UT
Thu Sept 8 at 9395 on WRMI 9395; anyone hear it?

Confirmed UT Thursday September 8 at 0149 the 0130 on WRMI 5010,
S9/+15 but noisy into Bonaire SDR.

New WOR 2155 should be ready early UT Friday September 9 for download
and first SWBCs at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 7730. Check:
http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Sept 8 at 1453 VP signal from Brother HyStairical,
like booming 9980 WWCR, so WRMI must be reactivated (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9330v, Sept 8 at 1454, WLCR/WBCQ absent again for at least
the third day when checked during this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 850, Sept 8 at 0650 UT, hymns mostly instrumental dominating
on E/W longwire rather than KOA, but it`s soon audible underneath with
C2CAM // unimpeded 840 WHAS. Slow SAH between them on 850, of
68/minute = 1.13 Hz. Surely this be my long-ago local in Clayton MO,
KFUO, 5 kW daytimer but extended until Denver sunset, long passed now.
Maybe missed a ToH 0700 ID when I was chasing Vanuatu on SW, but at
0701 still hymns. An announcement at 0715 but fading and uncopied,
then choral hymn ``He Leadeth Me``.

Then I DF it on DX-398 and get NE/SW, mutually nullable with KOA NW,
close to right angle apart. Fits for KFUO, which does play a lot of
Christian music. Only other possible REL in NRC AM Log is WQRM, 50 kW
daytimer in Duluth MN, but apparently mostly talk.

MWOffset measurements from 2021, 2020, 2019 resp.: KOA on 849.9987,
KFUO on 850.0025, WQRM on 850.0001 --- that would make KOA and KFUO
.0038 kHz apart or 3.8 Hz. But WQRM/KOA only .0014 kHz apart, much
closer to my reading. Should be easy to compare when KFUO is legal,
before official FCC Denver sunset in Sept, 0115 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 7932.055, Sept 8 at 0620, R. Vanuatu JBA direct vs CODAR;
JBA carrier on 11898+. Second and third harmonix of untried 3966+
ex-3945. At 0657, 7932 off already.

By 0702 Sept 8 after another frequency change, JBA talk and music on
8620.381 as discovered last night by Ron Howard, which is 2nd harmonic
of 4310.190, JBA carrier at 0707. Also on X3 = 12930.6 approx. at
0705, JBA carrier vs high noise level. Nothing on X4 = 17241- at
0709.

Contrary to wb`s assumption? Ron Howard hears from Bryan Clark that he
has been in contact with Adrian Sainsbury still at RNZI, about these
`rogue` frequencies from Vanuatu (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5900, Sept 8 at 0624 S9/+10 of Arabic?/ME music, 0630
announcement, chopped off at 0632*. Aoki has nothing but relays via
Bulgaria at other times; EiBi some more but nothing listed at this
hour. My guess: ALGERIA testing on yet another frequency (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1830 UT September 8

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sept 7 from 1446, monitoring LU4AA SDR
in Argentina for LRA36 -- nothing yet this Wednesday. Gary Pence is on
it too. Finally cuts on S9 at *1519, bit of music and standard canned
sign-on, with staff names; 1521 Esperanza themesong; 1525 clip of an
old OM radio voice and YL about SW in Argentina; 1529 tango?; 1531
``su cía`` ID, and intro as the *18th* program of the 2022 season, on
``dia de la radiodifusión``, which *was* 27 de agosto! So this is a
rerun of that date I already reported on, q.v. instead of anything
new.

1533 geo coörds; base was founded on 17 dic 1952. Temp `now` minus 17
C, feels like minus 22 with 70 kph winds from SE, gusting to 95;
sunset? time 17h27 local. 1535 contact info; 1538 rock song; 1540 date
27/8/1920 is being commemorated; 1545 song; 1547 ID with frequencies,
``Nacional, la Radio Pública, mentions Horacio Guarany, chatting with
music background; 1555 OM voice of some ham about setting up ham
station in Antarctica as an act of sovereignty [aha! Argentine
imperialism, hi]; 1605 ID with ``Nacional, nos une``, weather again;
how LRA36` first broadcasts were on 6030, later to 15476 ``AM`` [NOT];
1610 song; 1614 ID with staff names again like sign-on but this worx
as sign-off, since then off air at 1615* and still off past 1630
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BENIN [and non]. 1566 kHz, Sept 7 at 0343, JBA carrier; and an even
weaker one at 0345 on 1467. NW USA & SW Canada DXers have been
reporting these TWR transmitters around 0345. Despite the extreme
trans-continental distance, they can hear them, so I should too! WRTH
shows 200 kW on 1467 but 100 kW on 1566. The lower may have a less
favorable antenna pattern, eastward for Nigeria.

Schedules in WRTH are under SOUTH AFRICA! along with other TWR site
Swaziland. In language order it`s tough slogging, finding when these
are supposed to be on, in what. In WRTH it seems the only morning
entry for 1476 on page 494 is VARIOUS languages to Nigeria at
0315-0550 daily. Both also much more in local evenings, but
disregarded as never to be heard here afternoons. EiBi is much more

gaisma.com shows Parakou sunrise currently at 0540 UT, and at less
than +10 degrees north, varies little over the year, as late as 0600
six months from now. When I`m getting Benins, at 0347 the only other
9/kHz carrier detected is 711, presumably 300 kW Morocco (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 7 at 2113, R. Cairo carrier at S5/S9 into
Maryland SDR with humwhine; 2115 timesginal about 10 seconds late and
extremely distorted music as English program modulation starts.
Something`s abysmal at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Sept 7 at 0656, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati. Ron
Howard wonders whether they are silent Sundays since neither he nor I
could hear it Sept 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 7 at 0655 direct, no signal from VON.

Sept 7 at 1728, checking Canary SDR, unavailable, blank H2Ofall, as
operator EA8BFK advises ``If you don`t see any signal, the antenna is
used for the radio station!`` for transmitting, I assume. 1739 SDR
revives for receiving, and VON is on at 7255 minus 67/69 Hz =
7254.932v, S9+10 but hard to follow, noisy in English (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Sept 7 at 1450 UT, Enid`s only local TV signal,
K17JN-D, the 3ABN translator is back on air for first time since

I`m informing rabbitears.info that it`s back on [as part of market 50
OKC tho no way to see it there without heavy tropo; and with a
different old lineup] (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Sept 7, token English from REE, 2218 presenting a
movement from Fantasy for Guitar and Orchestra, by Manolo ---, who
died in late August at age 78. First tried UTwente, but is not well
situated for any of the four frequencies, 11670 best; now S9/+10 via
Virginia SDR for 17855, but some distortion marring the music (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.007, Sept 7 at 2200, VOT English is on today, S9+40/45
into UTwente, VG signal and modulation this time. 2243 starting later

disease``, until 2251; as already heard on Friday August 26. 2252
sign-off with jumbled English schedule; 2253.6 IS starts playing, off
at 2255.8 before any German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, UT Wed Sept 7 at 0000, right after WOR on WRMI, `Jazz
from the Left` - coast, that is. Altho a recent upload, may be old
repeat or host is way out of touch: says he is Tuesday afternoon on
11580! A frequency WRMI abandoned years ago; in fact nothing anywhen
on the 11 or 13 MHz bands, why? These would provide good coverage at
least in daytimes, especially in seasons-B. He also mentions this time
but I think not as on 9395, but was it 7730, or 7780? Current sked
grid for JftL shows: Sat 2200 9395, Sun 0200 9395, Tue 2000 on System
B, but ``internet only`` instead of 9955; Wed 0000 9395 & 7780. DJ has
really laid-back style (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7932.05, Sept 7 at 0647, R. Vanuatu is JBA vs CODAR, not
detected on 11898+ at first but yes, JBA carrier at 0653. It seems
that frequency change time is now 0659/0700, after which Ron Howard
found a totally different set of harmonically related frequencies!

``Sept 7 - After 0659* UT on 7932 kHz, I went looking for Vanuatu. Not
on the usual frequencies. Found Radio Vanuatu on new 8620.22 kHz, as
measured on my old Eton E1 (am sure someone can get a more accurate
measurement!); mostly fair; // 4310.11 (poor) // 12930.33 (very
poor).

0705-0716 UT: News/sports in Bislama. 0731-0801: Interview in English
about investments (talking about gov't bonds, National Bank, low
interest rate loans, interest rates, "Investments not all in one
basket," etc.). 0802+: Speech in Bislama about domestic violence in
Vanuatu, violence against women, Vanuatu's Women Center, etc. Wonder
how they are coming up with these strange frequencies? Ron,
California`` --- More replies on the WOR iog:

``Hi Ron, Thanks by the tip. I'm hearing Vanuatu on 8620 and 4310 poor
to fair signal at 0928, 09/07. 8620 better. 73 Lucio Brazil``

``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain: Hi Ron, checked right now, 0945, 07-09,
via SDR Kiwi remote receivers in New Zealand, on air on 4310.19 and
harmonics 8620.37 and 12930.57. Comments, ID "Radio Vanuatu", Island
songs. Good to fair signal on 4310.19 and 8620.27, weak on 12930.57``

Ron follows up at 1002: ``Thanks very much to Lucio and Manuel for
their quick check of Radio Vanuatu's new frequencies. Also thanks to
Mauno Ritola for his more accurate measurements:

"Thanks, Ron. I have extremely faint audio also here in Finland on
12930.565v kHz. Checking via Neil Findlay's Brisbane Perseus I get
those at about
4310.19
8620.38
12930.565
The carriers are fairly stable, but something wrong with entering the
fq in the transmitter? I wonder where they are at 1830? Mauno"

Appreciate also hearing from Craig Seager: "Goodness! All three heard
here too 0745, reasonably well - appears to have really gone rogue,
and continues to drift. Couldn't muster up the 4th harmonic, though -
a bit late for here in that range."`` [all via Ron]

I was about to contact Adrian Sainsbury of RNZ who has assisted many
Pacific islands fix their transmitters; but Wolfgang Bueschel already
tried that, to: <asainsbury@radionz.co.nz>

``URGENT NZ help --- These catastrophic frequency deviations of past
few days, urgently call for a competent transmitter technician from
the 'NZ third world to help' - fly in from NZ to Vanuatu. the local
Vanuatu technician people can't handle the FQ disaster ? 73 wb df5sx
wwdxc germany``

but it bounced! ``Adrian Sainsbury retired from NZ radio / telecom
recently, and his former mail address doesn't functioning anymore,
sorry. 73 de wolfy df5sx`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
