** CUBA [non?]. 6100 & 6060, Nov 22 at 0741, JBA carriers. Hard to
believe RHC unless on exciters only, but nothing else now in EiBi.
Also something on 6000 S9/+10 but JBM could be RHC altho CNR1 and Echo
of Hope should be on there by now. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13607, 13673.6, 13806, 13873, 13940 all approx., Nov 22 at
2228, RHC spurblobs about 66 kHz intervals, out of 13740 AM, S9/+25,
and only there can I make out JB modulation of Spy Numbers in Spanish!
While unrelated 13680 is on really in RHC Spanish. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Nov 22 at 2225, dense music S5/S9, still
2233; 2234 melodic bells, announcement mixed? 2241 ``You are tuned to
?????``, 2242 ``You are tuned to ????? radio service``, more nice
music. These say Black Swan Radio International:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,105757.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 22 at *2300, 5+1 timesignal, but no
pre-IS, perhaps in deference to BBC Oman until 2259*. VOT sign-on with
English schedule, news. But the EAST TURKISTAN carrier has also come
on making a SAH and suppressing VOT modulation, as heard at UTwente.
2305 CCCCCCI modulation starts but well under VOT. After news, Review
of the Tuerkiyish Press; 2315 multi-lingual ID reel; 2317 Weekly
Commentary by the heavy-accent YL so I have no idea what it`s about
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2165 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday
November 22 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 after first few words of
Tecsun commercial.

Also confirmed Tuesday November 22 at 2330 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+25 into
Missouri, maybe a trace of underjamming audible there. By 2345,
jamming definitely there during slight WRMI fades. Next:

0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A. 5010, Nov 22 at 0349, WRMI in Spanish, immediately hear
``derechos de trabajo``, so secret R. República hour being repeated
over and over on subject of workers` rights - lacking in Cuba, of
course, previously heard occupying three hours straight at 0300-0600,
filed under CUBA [non]; checked via Maryland remote, sufficient (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7780, Nov 22 at 0745, WRMI with TOMBS S9+10! Much stronger
than usual from this antenna off the side from 222 degrees, since
Hurricane Ian; but // 7570 is even stronger, S9+30/40 so maybe a
pipeline has developed instead of antenna change? (Glenn Hauser,
OK,WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Nov 22 at 0743, JBA carrier, no doubt 2 x 3945 RV,
but nothing on 3 x = 11835 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7275, Nov 22 at 0747, S6/S9 open carrier. PBS Xinjiang
Uighur service listed in EiBi but doubt it would be this strong. KBSWR
in Japanese to start at 0800? Or just a Region 2 ham? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 11590, Nov 21 at 1614, Firedragon traditional
instrumental music-only jamming, S7/S9 direct, about equal level to
Chinese talk: RFA via TINIAN scheduled at 1600-1900. The CC could
otherwise be additional CNR1 jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 10080, Nov 21 at 0723, S9+10 open carrier but
scratchy, must be that RHC 5040 transmitter again radiating on 2X
instead. Could be serious QRM to legal fundamental transmitters in
aero band. EiBi shows on 10081, 24h HFDL from Shannon, San
Francisco.

What is HFDL?? EiBi`s readme.txt explains only: ``HFDL Squitter
(Aircraft comms station)``. Wikipedia: ``High Frequency Data Link
(HFDL) is an ACARS communications medium used to exchange data such as
Aeronautical Operational Control (AOC) messages, Controller Pilot Data
Link Communications (CPDLC) messages and Automatic Dependent
Surveillance (ADS) messages between aircraft end-systems and
corresponding ground-based HFDL ground stations. Using the unique
propagation characteristics of high-frequency radio waves, the ground
stations provide data link communications to properly equipped
aircraft operating anywhere in the world. As a result, pilots can
always communicate with someone on the ground.``

But what does it sound like on an ordinary radio? And what is
squitter? Explanation from:
https://skybrary.aero/articles/squitter

``The term "squitter" refers to a random broadcast of data occurring
either intentionally or in response to noise.

Description: Mode-S transponders automatically send periodic burst
transmissions called "squitters". These transmissions are self
generated and are not in response to interrogations from a secondary
surveillance radar (SSR) system. The information sent in these burst
transmission serves several purposes including:

Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) - Squitter information
includes aircraft location and vertical speed. This information is
used by ACAS systems on other aircraft to identify potential
conflicts.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) - An extended
squitter is a message or series of messages which broadcast an
aircraft's identification, GPS position, projected aircraft trajectory
and navigation system status to allow controllers to accurately track
the aircraft`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Nov 21 at 2052, RHC in English, S9+10/20 direct, while
this frequency is supposed to be in a break unlike // 15140, weaker
S9/+10 and undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, Nov 22 at 0046, CRI Spanish relay going OK for a
change; M&W conversation sounds similar on S9/+10, 6000, which is JBM,
but no //, so that must really be the `Mesa Redonda` TV soundtrack on
RHC. Should easily confirm that by // 11950 --- but that`s S9+10/20 of
dead air! Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, Nov 21 at 2150, R. Cairo direct, S1/S4 humwhine but
trace of undermodulated English talk. Something`s always egregious in
Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Monday Nov 21 at 2300, token English from REE is VG
S9+10/25 into Maryland SDR. After the news, at 2305, due to an
exhibition, `Spain thru the eyes of Arabs`, interview with ambassador
from Arab League about Spain being more highly regarded in the Arab
world than European colonial powers. What?! Spain was too, don`t
forget Morocco/Western Sahara, Guinea Ecuatorial -- but true, not
further into Arab world. However, plenty of areas and countries were
colonized, notably in the Américas, Pacífico. See:
https://www.worldatlas.com/geography/the-former-spanish-colonies.html
Of course, Arabs colonized Spain long before vice versa.

No competition from Turkey for the 2300 audience -- me and who else?
which fails to appear at all, q.v. Related topic follows at 2317, a
flamenco festival at Sadler`s Wells:
https://www.sadlerswells.com/flamenco-festival-2022/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Nov 21 at 2259*, BBC quits Oman, but by 2300 no
show from Voice of Turkey - nothing into UTwente. I squelch it in case
it appear while listening to SPAIN, q.v. Aha, signal on late at *2311,
but it`s still not VOT, rather Chinese from Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN,
land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems.
Still no TRT at 2330 after Spainglish finishes. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 12065, Nov 21 at 1617, S9/+20 of BBC English report from
Qatar, not play-by-play if a SBG be ongoing right now. Singapore relay
scheduled 1300-1900, also via Oman at 12-13. One of best
extracontinental signals on band.

12095, Nov 21 at 1618, equally good signal, S9+10/20 in Korean and
musical ditty, which is also BBC via SINGAPORE at 1530-1830 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2165 monitoring: not from 0400 UT
Monday November 21 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160 minus 62 Hz = 6159.938 into
Maryland SDR, S5/S8. Instead W.D.C.D. program ID, 0403 someone`s
audition tape as a DJ, real? Continues with strange stuff until 0429
WOR suddenly starts, instead of HRI. After WOR at 0458, opening of
recreated `Amos & Andy`, but cut to TOMBS 0500 on SW, while A&A
continues on A51 webcast. I guess a runover anomaly, WOR still
supposed to be at 0400? 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
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

About WOR podcasts, from Keith Weston Nov 21: ``Glenn, I *think*
everything is back to normal, but won’t know until a new episode is
posted by you this or next week. Keith`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW: another update from George McClintock on Nov 21: Leap
of Faith registration with state of TN had expired, but he has now
renewed it. No longer seems to be a fraudulent attempt at that by
third party, but George`s renewal due notice in the mail may have been
intercepted. It has also been claimed that all the modulation cards
are on the site, but not so.

I have no more interest in listening to Ted`s hard-sell commercials,
rock and ham shows on WRMI than on WTWW, but FWIW, this from William
Pietschman, Nov 20:
``Ted Randall is back --- WRMI Legends (Ted Randall & Co.) is on:
5:00-6:00 pm Eastern Time daily on 9395 kHz
6:00-7:00 pm ET daily on 5950 kHz
6:00-11:00 pm ET daily on 9455 kHz
9:00-10:00 pm ET Saturday on 5850 kHz

** CUBA. 11880, Nov 20 at 2252, RHC English finally caught for first
time this Beason, so apparently nominally 22-23 UT as per usual
pattern shift. S9+10 but JBM, but can recognize `Ed Newman` voice in
Mailbag at 2257; some hashy ACI from 11885 side. Usually no signal on
11880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. I`m hunting for the alleged third of three Sunday broadcasts
in Esperanto on RHC. Website sked says 2230-2300 on 17730 to Buenos
Aires, but that frequency is years out of date. B-22 current EiBi
shows 2330-2400 on 15730, but that frequency is not on either at 2337.
Supposedly at 2330-0100 only in French, Creole and Portuguese, with
Esperanto pre-empting French on Sundays. No sign of Esp`o if any RHC
on 19, 22, 25, 31 m at 2250 check Nov 20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, Nov 20 at 2240, S9+10 open carrier direct, except for
some whine, R. Cairo nominally 2115-2245 English to N America.
Something`s always egregious in Egypt. Sometimes not turned on at all,
sometimes with extremely distorted undermodulation (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 10080, Nov 20 at 2236, 2251 and still 2305, S9/+10 open
carrier, presumed RHC 5040 transmitter ``testing``, mistuned to second
harmonic, nothing on 5040, but previously heard with RHC modulation.
5040 supposedly starts at 2200 per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Nov 21 at 0152, no signal from R. Progreso into
Maryland SDR, just CODAR swirshing. 5025 & 5040 Cubans still absent
too. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 11825, Nov 20 at *2256 open carrier, S9+10 with some
humwhine; 2258.5 one kHz tone; 2300 2+1 timesignal, so missed first
few pips from Greenwich? BBC ID and promo this hour to be `BBC
Trending` after 2301 news by Sue Montgomery. This one hour is relay
via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re my 325 kHz unID NDB, Q: Harold Frodge replies: ``Paul
Dobosz sez maybe MA from Midland TX.`` Harold, Tnx, I bet that`s it.
Often heard here when awake. Maybe M+A were run together or I was too
sleepy to notice a pause. On 326 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2165 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
November 20 at 2100 on NEXUS/IBA IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz,
S9+10/20 into nearby Noale SDR, only lite CCI from presumed Smooth
Radio, England.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 21 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, but has
heavy noise suspected of being internal defect? Maybe not, as it`s
worse into Maryland remote than Missouri, S9+5. Waterfall shows
blotchy noise from 7760 to 7800, unlike Cuban jamming. It seems to
pause before 0100, resume for gospel huxter. Strange.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 21 at 0130 on WRMI 5950, VG S9+15/28
into Missouri SDR. Next:

0400vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW
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. From our WOR podcast manager Keith Weston on Nov 20: ``Site
Down For a bit... Glenn, I’m having to move my web server and as a
result the podcast feed will not update for a few days, perhaps a week
or two if things go badly. I hope to have things back up and running
soon. Keith``

OK. That should not affect the RMRC podcast,
http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html
or you can always pull the latest WOR direct from my website (Glenn)

** U S A. 7490-, Nov 20 at 2302, WBCQ S9+10/20 with `Uncle Bill`s
Melting Pot`, good music from Moldóva which he mispronounces Móldova
per an internet lookup (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6935 AM, Nov 20 at 2245, JBA carrier is only sign of
pirate activity, but nothing reported at hfunderground among several
unIDs now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6956/6957, Nov 20 at 2246, SSTV from some pirate? But
sounds too repetitious, ute? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9367.938, Nov 20 at 2242, S9/+10 rough carrier with
humwhine, like some kind of broadcast spur, but can`t relate to any
nearby source, nor is there any plus/minus matcher (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, Nov 20 at 0002, open carrier; 0003 extremely distorted
music starts, // clear 11760 RHC Spanish. 5990 is supposed to be
relaying CRI in Spanish. 6000 RHC not yet on. At least they are not
mixing both CRI and RHC on 5990 this time. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 8960, Nov 20 at 0735, JBA talk on R75, only
with Preamps at full level 2: i.e. receiver overload of 7570 WRMI
TOMBS plus local 1390 KCRC Enid. Not that anyone else could hear this,
but pointing out as an example of SW afar mixing with MW anear to make
a mystery (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Nov 20 at 0730, JBA carrier of SIBC is only
broadcast trace just above 5 MHz, Cubans still gone and no Vanuatu
5040 nor Aussies audible on 5035, 5045 or 5055 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TIBET [and non]. 4820, 4905, 4920, Nov 20 at 0007 JBA carriers,
matching as all from PBS Xizang, Lhasa, occupied by the ChiCom. Same
deal as the four 4 MHz frequencies correlating with Xinjiang, Urumqi,
standard denunciation, which are also again audible, graylinish.
Additionally one on 4800 which would be the Golmud 916 site, i.e.
almost-Tibet. Another one on 5025 leads instead to R. Quillabamba,
Perú, while Cubans remain absent from 5025 and 5040 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 19 at 2305, VOT English is very strong
into UTwente, but suppressed by open carrier making fast SAH, yet
CCCCCCI modulation not heard until about 2309 from PBS Xinjiang,
Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
Uighurs and other Moslems. Too annoying at UTwente, likewise sometime
after 0000 Nov 20 recheck when it`s now bothering The Mighty KBC`s
weekly bihour via Nauen, GERMANY. Not compared this week but
fortunately little if any of the CCCCCCI reaches North America, east
or deep (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2165 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
November 19 starting at 2044 UT on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO,
S9+20 by groundwave into nearby Warrenton SDR; immediately following
`Amateur Radio Newsline`. First I checked direct at 2024, and found a
JBA carrier amid the S9+10 local high noise level. It`s wintry
residual daytime skywave tnx the lowering solar angle, might have been
audible 675 km/420 miles away without the LHNL.

Also confirmed Sat Nov 19 at 2030 on WRN North America webcast. NOT
confirmed on WRMI 15770 at same time, no matter what their
self-contradictory skedgrid may show; rather gospel huxter for months,
ex-1930 in DST/A22 season.

Also confirmed UT Sunday November 20 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S6/S7 into
Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday November 20 from 0429.5 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO, S9+22 into nearby SDR. Next:

2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW
0130 UT Monday WRMI 5950 to NNW

Too late for this week, but Wolfgang Bueschel reports hearing WOR at a
new time on WRMI: Friday Nov 18 at 0830 on 5010; however the skedgrid
dated Nov 18 shows 5850 & 7780 instead at 0830 Friday, unchecked yet
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9329.841, Nov 20 at 0737, WBCQ WLCR, S9+10 in Spanish, no
mix with Cuban Spy Numbers on Sunday; further off-frequency than
usual. Why don`t hi-tech hi-power SW transmitters come with a
fine-tuning control? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, Nov 20 at 0743, WRMI with a wacky drama, S9+20,
eventually mentions SMTV. First time I`ve ever heard anything the
least bit ``entertaining`` from SMTV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW: More info from the POV of George McClintock, president
of Leap of Faith, early UT November 20: A third party is now claiming
to own LOF, Inc. This can only be a piece of paper, as LOF is now only
a shell corporation according to the TN Secretary of State. George
says his name is on the deed of the land. The transmitters are owned
by another corporation which has his name on it. The FCC license
cannot be transferred without his signature. Like I remarked earlier,
a power struggle. He says, only for the name of the corporation with
the State of Tennessee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Nov 20 at 0731, JBA carrier from RV, 2 X 3945, but
not making it on 3 X = 11835 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 13830 // 15565, Nov 20 at 1538, S9+10 both the strongest
extracontinental signals on their bands, talk in listed Somali from
VR. Another example of VG opposite coverage from SMG site. Is their
antenna hooked up backwards? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 325 MCW kHz, Nov 20 at 0805 UT, single-letter beacon Q,
as I am falling asleep. Don`t hear any other letter nor dash but got
to be defective for a 2- or 3-letter call. RNA Signals shows these
here or near with a Q in them:
325, YJQ, Bella Bella BC - Campbell Island - I never hear BeaCons;
326, YQK, Kenora ON, 200 watts
326, VQ, Norman Wells NT; I never hear NT either; 1000 watts per
dxinfocentre.com while YJQ is 50 and YQK not listed (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** ALGERIA. 17600, Nov 19 at 1642, TDA via own Béchar site as used for
extensive hours, really wailing now, S7/S9, presumed Arabic, and maybe
nothing to do with Qur`an? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 19, I am not awake and booted
until 1510 first check for LRA36, but nothing into Argentine SDR,
where I see Gary Pence, KM5X in Dallas, Texas, and someone in London
are already on it. I go back to sleep until next chex at 1559 and
1614, still nothing.

But RNASG had been on just before and crashed, as Gary tells me, ``LRA
36 prelog music just before 1500. Hi Glenn, after initial sign on, the
usual abrupt cut off at 1507. They will probably be back, I guess.``
Anyhow, it would have been replay of what we already heard on
Wednesday Nov 16. ``No, they never came back. After the pre music
finished, then an OM gave the first LRA36 ID, then abruptly went off
around 1510z, and that was all she wrote`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 19 at 0752 tune-in to JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati, just before it cuts off the air at 0752.4* - what luck!
Nothing else audible on 9/kHz splits in quick scan, not even 1017 or
1098 Pacificans. The previous night, Nov 18, Gary Pence told me:

``Hi Glenn, about 0415z had a JBA on 846 but now at 0835z they are
gone; but there is one on 1440 kHz on AI6VN/KH6 in Maui and there is
way too much local QRM to receive. It`s on NH6XO site [Oahu]. Maybe
this is Tarawa. 73,s Gary`` Closest HI is on 1420 in Honolu2 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, Nov 19 at 0732, RNZ Pacific achieves S9/+10
during Saturday Night music, and is the OSOB = only signal on band; we
are the mercy of MUF at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Sat Nov 19 at 1648, REE can muster no more than a JBA
carrier direct to deep N America on early weekend schedule. Should be
still on 17855 for starters. But they waste countless hours
play-by-playing stupid ballgames (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH. Plans for a new gospel-huxter SW station: see USA:
WBCQ: AAAWWW

** U K [and non]. 21630, Nov 19 at 1640, S3/S5 BBCWS via ASCENSION //
Woofferton 17830, covering some stupid ballgame. If you were expecting
world news to be primary on BBC, forget it for a month, as extensive
coverage of some tournament is planned. Mike Cooper has obtained a
long schedule of pre-emptions, adjustments to regular programming for
the duration (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2165 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday
November 19 at 0152 the 0130 on WRMI 5850, VG direct, S9/+20 into KFS
omni remote. But not even a JBA carrier from 15770 direct, nor into
MD, MO or CA remotes, so off or unpropagable. Nor 7730 which it
replaced, only channel still missing since hurricane Ian.

Also confirmed UT Saturday November 19 at 0500 on WBCQ Radio Angela,
5130 minus 13 Hz = 5129.987, at first via Maryland remote unusually
JBA, S1/S2. At 0506, better S4/S7 into New Hampshire remote which one
would have suspected too close to Monticello, where the precise
measurement was made. Both with intermittent QRM from 2-way in Spanish
on 5132 USB, not LSB.

Also confirmed Saturday November 19 at 1700 on WRN N America stream.

Too late for this week, but Wolfgang Bueschel reports hearing WOR at a
new time on WRMI: Friday Nov 18 at 0830 on 5010; however the skedgrid
dated Nov 18 shows 5850 & 7780 instead at 0830 Friday, unchecked yet
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Another update early UT Nov 19 from George McClintock,
president of WTWW, on the phone. He has inspected the facility further
and concluded that the transmitters are in such bad shape that they
cannot be put back on air at anywhere near full power without a lot of
replacement parts which are harder and harder to find. So now
permanently off the air, and officially for sale, price to be
determined (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490-, UT Sat Nov 19 from 0100, WBCQ direct for `AAAWWW`,
but instead of theme, starts with intros to two OTR shows: Lux Radio
Theatre, and Father Knows Best! 0102 finally `William Tell Overture`
theme and AAAWWW. AW later admits he screwed up. Usual opening fawning
over how beautiful he thinx his wife is. The are in Deland of Fla
where it`s wintry at 60 degrees.

Shortly 0106 phone call from William Levi who is from South Sudan,
discussing his plans for a new SW missionary station. He has visited
Monticello. US HQ are in western Massachusetts. They had an FM station
2003-2008 in the war zone; not clear if still on now, but want to go
on SW for better coverage, from family property, with a 300` tower for
a non-direxional monopole antenna, 2000 km range, 10 kW transmitter
powered by 40 solar panels, as there is no grid power; or maybe wind
turbines. Frequency to be 11950 kHz, ``Nehemiah Trumpet Call shortwave
station``. A Christian firm in S Korea is providing transmitter and
antenna. It`s a non-profit, wants donations to: Operation Nehemiah
Missions, at a PO Box in Lanesborough MA 01237 - glad I looked that up
for correct spellinge; in the NW corner of MA. See
www.operations.nehemiah.org You`d never know it from the interview,
but they are Messianic Jews, preferred deity monicker Yeshua. Levi was
higher-educated in the USA but speaks with a presumably Sudanese
accent.

This took until 0119.5. By 0121 it`s into politix, claiming that Pres.
Biden is a ``senile puppet damaging the country``, blind to the
terrible damage to democracy caused by their despicable hero T****.
They are glad that Pelosi and the ``demonicrats`` lose control of
House. Later admitting that even Republicans are not perfect.

Says work on the WBCQ-6 SuperStition antenna is now completely
finished, and by mid-winter expect to be up to maximum ERP. I guess
that would be February; if it`s finished, why wait? 0134 datestamp as
18 November YOOLF 2022, trimulcasting on 7490, 6160, 5130. By 0140,
7490- is fading down, so 6160- and 5130- are slightly better direct.
Hey, WORLD OF RADIO is already running on WRMI bigsig 5850! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12160, Sat Nov 19 at 1800, WWCR-2 with `Talking [sic]
Machine Show`, songs familiar from ancient recordings, seems a rerun.
VG direct, but dumps off air circa 1818, cuts back on at 1823 after I
have brought up the stream instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re my 640 kHz BIN log, Greg Hardison explains the strange
addresses: ``"...Benton TN for WBIN, Ada MI for WMFN..." WBIN was the
call sign for a former Benton, TN facility on 1540, which remanded its
license back to the FCC a few years ago; Radio-Locator.com has yet to
catch up to this. The modern WBIN/640 is the former WGST, which I'd
bet is still control-roomed from iHeart's Atlanta digs, somewhere on
Peachtree near Piedmont Hospital. Ada, I believe, is the original home
of WMFN?/640, which was moved to the flats between Chicago and
Kankakee, determined to be a better location for serving Chicagoland
whilst a "full" 30 kHz away from WSCR/670. And there again, R-L drags
past glories into the present.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Nov 19 at 0730, JBA carrier from R Vanuatu X 3 but
not on X 2 = 7890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
