Hauser
** ANTARCTICA [and non]. ``Hi Glenn, Just a quick word about the
compilation of logs for LRA36 on my DX Guides site. DX Guides is a
personal site that I maintain as a hobby, it has nothing to do with
the British DX Club.
http://www.dxguides.info/

As to the content, it’s all my own work from start to finish, mistakes
and all (which can be corrected once I am aware of them). However,
some folks take an interest and are a great help with news and updates
direct.

Yes, the LRA36 reports will continue into 2023 and beyond, as will
those for Radio Vanuatu, which are a little way behind at the moment.
I will add others next year.

Your logs and weekly reports are very useful indeed, as are the posts
of many others to the WOR iog. Thanks. Best regards, Tony Rogers``
(via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** CANADA. 362 MCW kHz, Dec 2 at 0736, dash and SB, 500-watt ND beacon
at Greater Sudbury, Ontario, JBA vs HNL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, Dec 2 at 0723, S9+10/20 of dead air, SSOB by far on
25m, everything else JBA carriers with degraded propagation. Far
overtime pulse jamming JBA on 11860. Only Cuban SWBC still on, none on
4, 5, 6, 9 or 10 MHz. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 2 at 0727, S9+10 open carrier from VON. As
others note it can be quite sporadic starting at 0600, or not (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.7, more about the KJIL translator in Enid which came
on air a few days ago. It is mentioned in the WTFDA FM db, not under
88.7 but 88.3!

``K202BY relay of: KJIL 99.1 88.3 ENID OK CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN /
RELIGIOUS TEACHING YOU'RE WITH FAMILY 0.0 0.25 0.0 80.0 36-23-57
97-52-48 CP for K204GU 88.7 expires 6/1/21``

It may have ``expired`` a sesquiyear ago, but without embargo it just
came on the air -- and, 88.3 is now off, so in effect it`s a QSY. Not
clear why they would want to move as it seems there is more QRM on
88.7. But that frees 88.3 for some DX, and rids 88.1 KWOU Woodward of
ACI somewhat improving KGOU relay accessibility into Enid; but there
is still CCI from Oasis in Moore.

Note that 88.3 was 250 watts vertical only. FCC Query for 88.3 as a CP
for 88.7 shows 140 watts horizontal only, and different GC: 36-24-29
97-59-56, i.e. further north and west. I get/got them both no matter
what the antenna polarity.

Dec 2 at 2259 UT, I`m trying the DX398 with telescopic only, to find
dead air on 88.7 from ``KJIL``; and without really trying at a certain
angle, there is classical music! I bet it`s KWTU Tulsa - yes, soon ID
as KJIL resumes mod. Of all the 88.7s around here, KWTU would be most
desirable, but it`s only 5/5 kW ERP, designed for Tulsa area only as
an offshoot of KWGS 89.5, both Public Radio Tulsa. Checking APRS map
an hour later, there has been some tropo boost in the Enid/Tulsa/OKC
triangle.

Looking at all the Enid listings in WTFDA FM db: still has K226BR on
93.1 as relay of KIMY 93.9 tho marked as ``silent`` -- has been gone
for years but may still be licensed? KQOB 96.9 still shown as relay
of KZLS 1640, tho that ceased months ago as I reported at the time.
KQOB went from rock music to far-right talk // 1640, but then 1640
flipped to sports talk // 1390 KCRC, leaving only Eagle 96.9 with the
far-right talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 756 kHz, Dec 2 at 2135, since I have Noale, Italy SDR up
to check WORLD OF RADIO on 1323, 918, 207 kHz, I then tune it here for
the new HQ transmitter from SE Algeria, unknown power. Instead, strong
signal of a boogie-woogie song in English! R. România Actualitatsi is
listed, so I pick a // at random to check, and there she is too, much
weaker on 945. WRTH shows 756 as 400 kW from Lugoj (Boldur) = but not
at night; 945 as 15 kW from Miercurea Ciuc (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Dec 2 at 2300, since it`s Friday, time for another
token English from REE. First on the DX398 with a little help from
reelout, it`s hardly solid here with fading; a bit better off the back
to ME on 12030, and 11940 to SAm also audible. Missed the preview, but
after news at 2308 first feature is about a stupid ballgame player.
2321 recheck on the main rx, quite different reception, nothing on
12030 or 11940. 9690 has Justin interviewing an author, outro as Alan
(sp?) W. Moore, of ``Art Worker`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 2 at 2321, VOT is S9+10/20 of undermodulated
music; with deep fading at 2350 multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2352
sign/off with jumbled full English sked; 2354 IS; 2356.6 starts IDing
in German but chopped off as the second one starts at 2357* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6993 AM, Dec 2 at 2323, JBA carrier, time for another
occasional presumed log as explained in DXLD 16-16, of WH2XWF, an
experimental 164-watt transmitter with several locations in Florida,
to study ionospheric disturbances (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2166 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees.
Dear Glenn: Confirming World of Radio #2166, WRMI:

5850, 0830, 0840, 0855 (55433-4), 0859, November 25 [Fri]
5950, 0130, 0144, 0158 (55434), 0159, November 28 [Mon]
9395, 0132 rough going, November 29 [Tue]

5850, frequency empty, 1030, November 30 [Wed]
9395, confirmed barely heard jingle, 0130, December 1 UTC 2022 [Thu]
(Lemke, Richard -AB)``

WORLD OF RADIO 2167 monitoring: confirmed first SWBC, the 0330 UT
Friday December 2 on WRMI 7780, tuned in just in time at 0358, S9
direct vs S7 HNL here.

Also confirmed Friday December 2 at 0830 on WRMIs: 5010, S9+10 direct;
5850 S9+10/20. 7780 is JBA but I think I hear a bit of music after the
first minute so can`t be WOR, unlike last week when on all three. No,
I did not want to be awake at this hour but found myself such, so
might as well check me.

Later learnt that WRMI has just started relay of Voice of Indonesia!
at 08-09 on 7780. Unfortunately this remains WRMI`s worst frequency
here, off the side of southwestward beam. Nor hardly helpful in the
middle of our night for North Americans. From WRMI on FB Dec 1:

``WRMI Begins Relays of the Voice of Indonesia --- WRMI has begun
testing relays of the daily English-language program of the Voice of
Indonesia. The one-hour program can currently be heard at 0800-0900
UTC on 7780 kHz. While beamed to Central America, this frequency can
often be heard well in North America, Hawaii and Oceania at that hour.
Reception reports from listeners would be most welcome. It is possible
that these relays could be expanded in the future to additional times
and frequencies, as well as additional languages including Spanish.``

WOR 2167 not confirmed Friday December 2 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, not
checked until 1555 direct to find it`s OFF the air, while the other
31s, 9395 & 9455 remain loud and clear. And it`s too late to get the
computer running for check of WRMI`s only frequency meriting webcast,
but probably.

Confirmed Friday December 2 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, into
nearby Noale SDR, S9+5/10 but with ripple SAH from another transmitter
altho not much modulated QRM. On 918 kHz there are 2 or 3 weak signals
but cannot recognize me as one of them; also 1 kHz het from 917
Nigeria. Next:

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330-, Dec 2 at 0725, JBA carrier, presumed WBCQ, either QRP
or propped out; while southerly signals WRMI on 9395, 9455 and 9955
are good; and if Cuban Spy, would also have been much stronger, cf
11670 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Ex-5085 et al., another WTWW update from George McClintock,
my scribbled notes paraphrased from phone conversation early UT
December 2:

#2 transmitter is now ready to run at 100 kW; #1 maybe 85 kW. You
can`t really tell the difference by listening until maybe 50 kW or
less. The power modules on #2 were burnt to hell. There was a massive
cooling water leak, spilt all over the floor. They had many gallon
jugs of distilled water on hand to compensate. #3 antenna is severely
damaged, for the Harris 100 transmitter, could run low power only. The
antenna matching device for #1 had been disconnected, and the cover
missing, but it seems to work. Everything is wrong. Various other
missing parts had been hidden, now found. US SW stations are supposed
to pay a frequency coordination fee each season, but this was not done
by WTWW, maybe about $ 200K behind, with 25% penalties building up!
This does not go directly to FCC but to USG general fund. Any
purchaser would have to clear that debt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9664.4, Dec 1 at 0735, singing ID of ``Rádio Voz
Missionária`` at S7/S9. Lately has been closer to 9665. Wolfgang
Bueschel had it on 9664.697, Nov 30 at 0019 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, Dec 1 at 0747, S9 of dead air, only Cuban SW frequency
still on air. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL INTERNET. It`s hard to believe how eager some are to
``celebrate`` Xmas for whole month of December and even beyond, but
the selective listener will find some worthwhile music from webcasting
public radio stations, such as Portland OR, [UT -8]:
https://www.allclassical.org/spotlights/2022-holiday-programming/
And NYC, [UT -5]:
https://www.wqxr.org/story/spend-your-holidays-wqxr-2022/

I have not yet found any holiday programming page at several other
classical stations, but maybe shall shortly.

Another to look out for is the Paul Winter Consort Solstice Special
from the Cathedral of St John the [allegedly] Divine. PWC website says
info will be up shortly. They usually have more than one performance
leading up to Solstice date, but the broadcast may be from a previous
year after a lot of post-produxion be completed. Icarus, (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Dec 1 at 0748, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati;
no other TP/TA splits noted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 88.7, UT Dec 2 at 0030 and anytime for the past few days,
stronger gospel huxter than usual, QRMing what had been a semi-open
frequency used for my RF feeder around the house. Now I listen to it
long enough to hear frequent ``KJIL`` IDs and Xmasmx, not the marginal
11 kW signal from KLVV Ponca City. WTFDA db shows a 50 watt translator
in Fairview, but it should not be so strong here; as well as a
200-watt KJFV in Fairview with no further info but surely mutually
exclusive. Nothing in Enid on 88.7 per WTFDA.

But FCC FM Query has it!
K204GU KML/Fill/Text 204 D FX 88.7 MHz CP
ENID OK US 0000191315 21057 0.14 kW
80. m 503.7 m 113. m

GREAT PLAINS CHRISTIAN RADIO, INC.

KJIL stands for JesusIsLove, an increasing gospel-huxter network based
in Copeland KS, 100 kW on 99.1 rarely audible here. 0059 ID ToH
mentions a bunch of KJ## non-translators only. And on one of my
portables there is quite a clash with KLVV even here in Enid (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Dec 1 at 0732, WRMI-5, S9/+20 at 285 degrees, nice
classical guitar music, but 0733 `La ley de Jehová` with more clasguit
in background, so it`s only the remnant of WYFR still on Okeechobee,

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wednesday November 30 I try to tune
remote for LRA36 from 1500, but my Internet is out! 1522 it finally
connex while I am on the phone waiting for Optimum to do something;
and RNASG is indeed on, into Argentine SDR, S5/S7 during song; 1524
``nos une`` ID, this-week-in-history; 1534 surprise, a few Vs in Morse
code apparently intro to some kind of promo, music; 1538.5 more
historical talk but dumps off air abruptly at 1543.6*, and nothing
more by 1619 when I quit. Also:

[WOR] All our LRA36 reports for 2022 so far --- Nov 28 at 6:28 PM
Exhaustive compilation of 2022 log reports of LRA36, almost? all from
gh and other WOR iog members:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z6ksS06h9QgvCiYEiKKBq_1fCnfVjtXH/view

It starts with the Wikipedia entry still getting the FM frequency
wrong, 97.6 instead of 96.7. This was done by Tony Rogers of the
British DX Club as part of DX Guides, with Antarctica at the very
bottom of the Americas sexion:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pdZGhp9MCT_Yx3XmIASdwf1gV1Ug5P8p/view
What about previous years, and will this page survive into 2023? BDXC
made it clear I was not welcome to post my log reports to their
newsgroup, but I am glad they have found some use for them (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 2598 USB, Nov 30 at 0739 UT, marine weather by CCG roboYL
in English, S9+10, surprisingly much stronger than 2749 USB, sounding
like the same. Not so surprising, considering that altho further at
Placentia, NL, 2598 VCP-4 is listed as 3000 watts, first broadcast of
new day at 0737; while 2749 is VCO Sydney NS with only 550 watts from
0740. Each timeshares with several others on same frequencies. I would
love to hear the other further Canadians on 2514, 2582, but scheduling
is not favorable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Nov 30 at 0737, S9/+10 of dead air: only Cuban SW
transmitter still on air. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other
Side:

``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW --- November 28, 2022 EMIGRATION

https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1669652767_43740.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Nov 30 at 2211, no signal from RHC where English
sometimes appears sometime during this hour. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13605, 13673, 13809, 13789, all very approx., wideband
spurblobs, Nov 30 at 2212 out of RHC 13740 which is S9/+20, much
stronger than // 13680 not involved in these, at roughly 68 kHz
intervals out to second-order, but none detected at third-order spots.
Hints of programod when tuned in AM mode. Something`s always wrong at
RHC. The Other Side:

``An independent Cuban candidate wins the nomination for the upcoming
municipal 'elections' --- José Antonio Cabrera Parada has already been
visited by the political police, warns the Council for a Democratic
Transition in Cuba. DDC | Santiago de Cuba...``
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1669307150_43674.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 30 at 2157, S9+45 into UTwente of humbuzz, no
programod in English from R. Cairo where something`s always egregious
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, November 30 at 0744, no signal at
first, but JBA carrier at 0748 recheck, maybe just a fade rather than
off/on, and one should really listen for more than a few seconds. At
first the only other 9 kHz split is a slow beat on 855, likely Spains;
and at second there`s 711 kHz JBA carrier, likely Western Sahara
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 30 at 0734, S8/S9 of dead air except for trace
of modulation, no doubt VON on signature strong off-frequency.
Something`s always abysmal at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 30 at 2307, token English feature after REE
news is about 69 worx of art smuggled out from Kyiv to an exhibition
in Madrid, VG S9+10/30 into Maryland SDR; just in time before missile
strixe. 2324 fills with stuff about a SBG player (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.018, Nov 30 at 2258, VOT IS & ID so English is on
today, S9+25/35 into UTwente, but I listen first to Spain, q.v. Back
to here at 2330, now there is big hum but otherwise good modulation,
and also CCCCCCI making fast SAH, since TRT is 18 Hz off-frequency.
`Weekly Commentary` about China and India, read by heavily accented

What`s the matter now? Had been on reliably for a few days. Leaving
Cuban Spy Numbers in the clear.

** U S A. 5085 et al., update from George McClintock about WTWW,
bearing his title, so maybe not done for yet?

``WTWW: Resurrection --- Bags and bags of junk have been removed from
the site. The forest in front of the building and under # 1 antenna
have been cut down and removed. A scrubber machine has cut the
remaining small bush to the dirt ground. Grass under #2 antenna is
currently being cut down. #2 antenna grass has been cut.

The sagging floor in the kitchen and bathrooms have been strengthened
and replaced with plywood. A new heating and AC unit has been
installed and keeps the house warm. A new washer and dryer are setting
on the deck waiting installation next week. All old carpet has been
removed and a new floor is scheduled for next week. The deck has been
one half pressure washed and is down to the natural wood. The other
half cleaning is scheduled for next week. The front door has dropped
down and is being fixed. A small crew is staying in the house to save
on motel expense. Light bulbs have been replaced and garbage/trash has
been removed from the transmitter building. AC unit filters which were
unbelievably dirty have been replaced. #3 transmitter outside filters
have rusted in place and had to be hammered out and replaced.

Transmitters 1 & 2 are running but await the water cleaner RESIN to
keep the eating of copper tubing up. Sacrificial rods are to be
replaced soon. All moving parts have been lubricated and working
correctly, for a change. Over one half of the transmitter light bulbs
are out and are slowly being replaced. One of the Harris SW100
transmitter #3 motors was removed and not replaced. We have a
replacement motor which is currently being installed.

More fixes in a later release. George McClintock 11-28-2022``

** U S A. Re my log of 1240, KNEM, Nevada MO, Wayne Heinen replies:

``Regarding KNEM/KNMO I received the reply below from GM Mike Harbit,
currently the 43rd edition reflects his statements. All three are
listed as Grp= Double K Country. 73 Wayne Heinen, N0POH, Editor, NRC
AM Radio Log, Aurora, CO.

“Hello Wayne, All three stations carry the same programming. There is
no such thing as Double K FM 99.9. Have no idea where that came from.
We do split off AM 1240, KNEM/99.9 at various times for game
broadcasts especially during the high school football and basketball
seasons when we are carrying multiple games at once. I'm going to
assume this is where the confusion comes from. I hope this answers
your questions. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks,
Mike Harbit, KNEM/KNMO-FM Radio, Nevada, MO”`` [undated] (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
RECEIVER PROBLEMS: my main rx, Icom R75, originally ``instant-on``,
began taking up to a minute to warm up several months ago and this has
increased little by little, so that now it takes almost 3 minutes. By
warm-up, I mean fully tunable. It seems to be receiving signals
without much delay; it`s the audio output to speaker or phones which
lags. I fear this may get worse and worse. Now am tempted to leave it
on for hours between sessions, but not sure which would be worse: more
on-and-off, or protracted on without use. Other annoying problem is
tendency of frequency keypad to bring up not only the one I punch, but
an adjacent number; or sometimes Enter before I am quite finished.
Any advice? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 10080, Nov 29 at 0315, RHC harmonic again, S5/S9, tnx to tip
from Jorge Freitas in Brasil, posted to WOR iog at 0310:

``10080 29/Nov 0304 CUBA Radio Habana Cuba. Same program as 11760.
Could be second harmonic of 5040, but 5040 doesn't have any signal
here or on SDRs. 73 Jorge Freitas, Feira de Santana, Bahia 12°14´S
38°58´W - Brasil, Tecsun PL-660, XHDATA, Antenna Delta Loop and LW 20
meters``

However, here, unlike my previous logs with nothing more than a JBA
carrier, fundamental 5040 is also to be heard louder, S7/S9, but
nothing on 11760. Propagation must be iffy. Harold Frodge was hearing
nothing in the Great Lakes - Michigan, unknown if referring to 10080
only or all three.

10050, Nov 29 at 0727 my next check, 10080 is off but 2 x 5025 Radio
Rebelde is on! S9/+10, and 5025 is back after a long absence, at
S8/S9. Then Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, reported, via SDR Half Moon Bay CA,
assuming all these are ``BAUta 100 kW 083&263 to Cuba``:

``Radio Habana Cuba in Spanish/English/Spanish on 5040 khz & 2nd hx
10080 kHz via Bauta, November 29:
0519&0559 on 10080 Spanish/English. Good
0519&0559 on 5040 Spanish/English. Poor
from 0659 on 10080 Spanish is unscheduled. Good
from 0659 on 5040 Spanish is unscheduled. Poor

And assuming these are ``BAUta 100 kW / non-dir to Cuba``:
``Reception of Radio Rebelde in Spanish on 5025 kHz & 2nd hx 10050 kHz
via Bauta, November 29:
0715&0758 on 10050 Spanish. Very good
0715&0758 on 5025 Spanish. Weak/fair``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Nov 29 at 2007, RHC English again instead of break,
much better here S9/+10 than // supposed only frequency 15140. Too
bad, but 11760 gone before 2049 recheck. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 9955, Nov 29 at 1616, WRMI with anti-Communist rant in
Spanish, S9 vs NO jamming. Not // 11860 Martí. Another secret
broadcast of R. República? Yes, as 1624 talking about trabajadores,
and a ``paro nacional`` = general strike? 1625 ID with schedule on
9490 and 5800 but no other SW frequencies; 1628 now says also on La
Poderosa 670 = WWFE Miami, Sundays at 11 pm. Previous announcement
included some other nights but not every. 1629 resumes ``derecho al
trabajo`` subject. Checking again WRMI skedgrid, transmission hours
atop shows 9955 continuously with System B, while contradictorily,
SysB sked shows it ``internet only`` at these hours with no content
given!

9955, next check Nov 29 at 1904, still/again? anti-Communist rant in
Cuban Spanish, S7/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 29 at 2133, R. Cairo, S9+35 into UTwente with
huge hum, just barely suppressed/distorted modulation, unreadable and
marginally recognizable as Englishish intonation. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, Nov 29 at 0730, JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati; only other 9/kHz split JBA MW carrier is 774 at 0732 making
a slow beat of two signals, i.e. remnant of SPAINs (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Nov 29 by 2308, no VOT signal into UTwente; nor
any East Turkistan either - until cut on *2311.4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565, Nov 29 at 1604, JJBBA CW, surely the 1.8 milliwatt
HIFER beacon K6FRC in California; vs much stronger CODAR swirshes at
the rate of exactly twice per second (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Among several 10m ham beacons, Nov 29 at
1910-1916, with listings from WI5V site, first two almost same

** U S A. 15770, Nov 29 at 2008, WRMI with Spanish program about the
disappeared R. Suecia, including lots of clips, some in English. It`s
`La Rosa de Tokio` as scheduled this hour Tuesdays. Sounds familiar;
altho `new`, I search out previous LRT publicity that R. Sweden would
be topic: weekends of 7/17/22, 12/26/21, 5/22/21, 6/21/20. Older ones
maybe different, but suspect reruns lately, never specified. I still
haven`t figured out what Tokyo Rose has to do with any of this. Direct
at first, it`s poor, but at 2050 into Maryland SDR, VG S9/+5.
9955, WRMI: See CUBA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Nov 29 at 0729, JBA carrier from RV 2 X 3945; 11835,
JJBBA carrier on 3 X 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6810, Nov 29 at 0725, JBA carrier, often noted but not
logged. If harmonic, possible fundamentals: 3405, 2270, 1702.5, 1362,
1135, 972.86, 851.25, 756.67, 681, 619.09, 567.5, 523.85 --- all of
which are very unlikely. Idle utility? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
