Hauser
** CUBA. 11760, Nov 28 at 0735, S9+20 of dead air, and 11670, S9+10 of
same. Surely RHC transmitters running way late, rather than mistuned
second harmonix on 10050, 10080 --- not heard again since my original
reports. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Nov 28 at 1627, this RHC still on overtime in Spanish,
S9/S7 but no spurblobs today. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 29 at 0003, dead air from RHC. Should be the `Mesa
Redonda` alternative // 11950 which is not dead and not // mainstream
11760. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 28 at 2211, no English signal into UTwente
from R. Cairo. Something`s amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, Nov 28 at 0729, JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati; even weaker one on 1098 which would be V7AB, Marshall Is.,
but nothing detectable on 1017, A3Z Tonga. Only other 9/kHz split JBA
carrier is 711, likely remnant of 300 kW TA Morocco. Axually that is
in occupied WESTERN SAHARA, q.v. northern part but well south of the
`border` with imperialist Morocco (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15355, Nov 28 at 1958 open carrier, 2000 undermodulated
music and French, S8/9+10. It`s AWR via Talata at 2000-2030, and would
have followed Igbo/Ibo at 1930. Did not recognize music as the usual
AWR theme. Not noticeably off-frequency, either! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MALI. 17880.005, Nov 28 at 1635 song S7/S9, talk in Arabic, the
SSOB even surpassing 17790 WRMI. Sounded further off-frequency than
found upon measurement. It`s CRI Bamako II relay at 16-17 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 15460.022, Nov 28 at 1631, S5/S7 of talk.
Listed as VOA Swahili this semihour via Pinheira. This USAGM site is
one of the most capable of offfrequenciness (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Nov 28 at 2300, not by a computer, finding REE direct
to NAm is VP; intro of feature to be something about Poland/Ukraine.
Of course we could probably find it later on their podcast archive
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2166 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
November 27 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 kHz
only, not on 918 or 207 kHz, neither of which heard for some weeks;
S9+10 into nearby Noale SDR, but with fast rippling SAH from not much
modulated co-channel carrier. Preceding IRRS ID again claims 7125
instead of 7295 on SW, and 9510, but none of these on at this hour.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 28 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA carrier
direct but S7/S9 into Maryland SDR; by 0055, improved direct to S9/+10
vs HNL at S9.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 28 at 0130 on WRMI 5950, S6/S8 into
Georgia SDR with pulse jamming ACI from 5955, which is an hoary relic
of the era long ago when Radio República was on 5954+ via Costa Rica!
But S9+30 into Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed promptly at 0400 UT Monday November 28 on Area 51
webcast; also WBCQ 5130 -63 Hz = 5129.937, JBA into Missouri SDR; JBA
to VP with ACI de 6165 CUBA, into Maryland SDR averaging -65 Hz =
5129.935. The difference could of course be due to slightly different
receiver calibrations. 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
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

Thanks this week to David Cole, Baton Rouge LA, for a generous check
to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.

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

** U S A. 15750-15755-15760, Nov 28 at 1629, WINB DRM noise this time
on the bottom half, hybrid tones on top half, opposite configuration
from last log on 7325-7330-7335; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Nov 28 at 0733, JBA carrier from RV X 3, but not
detectable RV X 2 = 7890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** WESTERN SAHARA. Only 9/kHz split JBA MW carrier, Nov 28 at 0729
when I am getting TPs, see KIRITIMATI, is a TA on 711, likely remnant
of 300 kW Morocco. Axually that is in occupied WESTERN SAHARA,
northern part but well south of the `border` with imperialist Morocco.
Timeanddate.com shows a.k.a. ``El Aaiun, Iqlim Al Uyun, Iqlīm Al
`Uyūn, Laayoun``, so when is sunrise there today? 0720 UT! Latest
sunrise will be 0741, Jan 4-19. We are already at earliest sunset,
1753 UT from Nov 26 to Dec 6. In Northern Hemisphere, these are always
about a month apart due to Earthly oblateness, but combine for
shortest day on the Winter Solstice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 21599.22 approx., Nov 28 at 1639, JBA carrier, only sig
on 13mb besides 21630 BBC Ascension. This is probably a local birdie
as nothing is listed now on 21600, but logged just in case. Algeria
and Bulgaria prefer `even` frequencies. Later, still there at 1952, so
never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0028 UT November 29

Hauser
** ALASKA. 6075, Nov 27 at 0801, KNLS opening English hour S9/+10,
introducing music to follow and features including `Creation Moment`,
as to be a good little Christian gospel huxter you`ve got to buy into
wacko creationism (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 7335, 7355, 7365, 7435, Nov 27 at 0745,
wall-of-noise/pulse jamming against nothing, hours after R. Martí has
signed off. Or in case of 7335, not used at all this Beason, but
almost QRMing WINB DRM 7325-7330-7335, q.v. Jamming sounds differ:
wall-of-noise on 7335, 7355; pulsing on 7365; faster rate and lower
pitch pulsing on 7435. Also still jamming noise on 6030 and 5980, the
latter QRMing the WWCR leapfrog mixing product of 5890 over 5935
weekends only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 11875.079V, Nov 27 at 0749, YL in unknown language S9 vs S7
noise level, slightly varying audibly as I try to measure it. Surely
not CRI listed during this hour, rather RFI in FUlani via ISSoudun at
0730-0800 along with MANdinka in previous semihour. Could well be same
defective transmitter as for R. República from 0100 on 9490+ (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 27 at 0740, S8/S9 of dead air from VON. Amazing
how incompetent some stations are, can`t even tell if the transmitter
they run be modulating: either put some audio on or turn it off. And
VON is hardly the only one (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6920 USB, Nov 26 at 0040, vamping music very
repetitive, with occasional words; 0053 maybe ID unreadable in brief
pause, S5/S8 still past 0058. Several more logs as unID:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,105959.0.html
Seems I was getting better signal than most, reversal of usual
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2166 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday November 27 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9 into Maryland SDR, as
always on this frequency/System, starting with a self-imposed noise
burst overriding the first 10 seconds or so.

Also confirmed UT Sunday November 27 at 0416 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
Wentzville MO, S9+20 into nearby Warrenton SDR with some storm
crashes. Blitzortung shows a tiny storm in the MO Bootheel, larger
storm area from southern AL into the GoMex -- about 5 minutes into so
started early circa 0411. Next:

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

** U S A. 7325-7330-7335, Sunday Nov 27 at 0742, hybrid DRM, noise on
upper half, secret data beepery on lower half, so obviously WINB
rather than RRI or something. I thought WINBDRM were M-F only but EiBi
now implies daily 0700-0900, extended 0900-0930 M-F only. Almost QRMs
the Cuban jamming against nothing on 7335! q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5920-5950, Nov 27 at 0800, WWCR with DGS so strong S9+40/50
that it`s splattering from 5935 out to plus/minus 15 kHz. Also 5980 as
leapfrog mixing product of 5890 TOMBS over 5935 another 45 kHz beyond,
fortunately jammed by Cuba unintentionally since Martí is on 5980
elsewhen (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Nov 27 at 0747, JBA carrier from RV 3 X 3945;
stronger than 7890 = 2 X 3945, which is JJBBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 26 at 1501, best of Argentine
remotes is offline, but LRA36 JBA on a couple others, weaker S3 than
usual as it`s opening multi-lingual ID, 1505 theme song, 1521 still
on; one of the remotes with local QRhaM overload; 1528 ID, talking
about Chubut; 1540 ``su cía`` ID; 1546 martial tune but not played by
a band; cuts off the air at 1550*, so lasted quite a bit longer than
for first play on Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Nov 26 at 0720, S9/+10 of dead air in English except
for some hum from RHC not turned off yet. Likewise on 6165 with
slightly less hum. No 5025 or 5040 carriers, nor 10050, 10080 loud
harmonix. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Nov 26 at 2111, S9+10/15 of dead air from RHC. After
English 2000-2100, supposed to continue until 2130 in French.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17700, Nov 26 at 2003, S9 open carrier; presumably VOA
French via Grimesland at 1900-2000 was modulated but not turned off
yet. How many $ $ do these burn per minute? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 12075, Sat Nov 26 at 2050 music, no announcements
heard, stops at 2059, dead air to 2101*. VOA French via BOTSWANA
scheduled until 2100 Sat/Sun, -2130 M-F + Bambara -2200 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2166 monitoring: Jeff White tells
me that WOR will still be airing UT Saturdays at 0130 on 5850 only
following completely redoing the System F automation program.

Confirmed UT Saturday November 26 at 0500 on WBCQ Radio Angela, S9/+10
into Maryland SDR, 5130 minus 16 Hz = 5129.984. Tnx to Bill Tilford,
this has been one of our most reliable airings.

Missed checking Sat Nov 26 at 2030v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, not tuned
in until 2111 back to ham stuff. Next:

** U S A. 15770, Sat Nov 26, WRMI: 2112 tune in to Spanish introducing
a national orchestra playing what sounds like an unfamiliar national
anthem; 2114 sporadic time signal? 2115 `SOS WRMI` fundraiser about
famous musicians who are hams.

A very contradictory and confusing display about 15770 on WRMI
skedgrids: 15770 transmitter shown as System H at 2100-2200, but the
System H sked skips that hour! The unlettered RAE sked shows 15770
blank every day except Sunday in Aleman. System E = TOMBS shows 15770
& 9455 at 2100-2200. System F also has 15770 including Sat 2100-2115 I
Love Italy, 2115-2130 Viva Miami. Presumably that`s what we are really
hearing, with SOS WRMI replacing some or all VMs (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Saturday Nov 26 at 2200, WRMI in Russian narration
with musical background, SFX, mentions Israel, bog/bozhe, apparently
Bible story semi-dramatized; while fluent, he seems to have an
American accent. Scheduled at 2200-2230 is `Your Story Hour` -- is
that Adventist program in such non-English languages? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Nov 26 at 0729, and 7890 at 0738, JBA carriers from
harmonix of 3945 R Vanuatu (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 5850, after not hearing WOR on WRMI, I keep
listening at 0200 UT Saturday Nov 26 as Spanish hour of RAE Argentina
Al Mundo starts. Gives date as Friday November 11! So was there no
produxion on Nov 18 or today, or just did not get uploaded properly to
WRMI server? Calls it ``Miami Radio Internacional``. Preview that will
include another edition of `Suplemento de Actualidad DX`. That finally
starts at 0220, a long chat between Arnaldo Slaen and host Fernando;
historical stuff about public radio, 0236 an Uruguayan FM station,
CX296 with a clip of its frenetic produxion; then about clandestine LV
de Canarias Libre from long ago.

Finally 0251 to some ``actual`` DX news, four tips: Congo Brazzaville
reactivated on 6115 circa 0530-0600; Voice of Amhara State, Ethiopia
on 7110 around 0400 -- that`s not a regional station, but R. Ethiopia,
or EBC Radio, is it not? Anti-Beijing, Sound of Hope, 2045z on 6340,
6370; Voice of People, S to N Korea, 6520 around 1000 with jamming.
Show finishes 0255 until next [?] week, multi-lingual RAE IDs, a few
LAm news headlines. BTW, current sked shows this also on 5800,
unchecked; and at 0200 UT Mondays on 5850 at least is the Argentina to
the World semihour in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 9490.064, Nov 26 at 0241, I measure the R. República relay
via RMI via Issoudun, audible amid the Cuban jamming, and find it is
*still/again* off-frequency, despite the on-frequency/transmitter
change report a few days ago from Wolfgang Bueschel I quote omitting
the frequency on WOR 2166; that must have been a fluke, temporary
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Nov 25 at 2310, token English from REE has no
competition from Turkey, but interview subject is something medical I
can`t really get into. I do notice that both VA & MD remotes are not
getting a VG signal, and NO signals from 12030 & 11940; are they off?
No, all three are audible at UTwente, none VG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Nov 25 at 2301, no signal from VOT into
UTwente; recheck at 2310, still no TRT but Chinese is on from EAST
TURKISTAN, std denunciation. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2166 monitoring: confirmed Friday
November 25 at 2139 the 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+15
into nearby Noale SDR, no QRM for a change; and nothing on 918 or 207
kHz; except on 918 I hear a 1-kHz het obviously caused by the
off-frequency 917 Nigerian beating against the other Nigerian or
something EurAsian on 918.

NOT confirmed UT Saturday November 26 at 0130 on WRMI 5850 & 15770,
which started only a few weeks ago. Without notice, 5850 has been
replaced by music, fill? And 15770 is now SMTV as on the transmitter
schedule, while System F sked still claims WOR on both. Next:

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat Nov 26 at 0100, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`.
They say the high was 84 today with high humidity, uncomfortable, so
even tho it`s Deland of Fla I wonder if this be a repeat? No, NWS
confirms hi of 83 today and RH of 70%. Then a lot of chat about
horses, as Angela owns one named Sylvie who is a thorobred, and spends
a lot of time with her and 40 others at a nearby horse ranch. Fun
fact: Sylvie loves peppermint. 0122 complaining about the economy; is
getting harder to find powerful tubes needed for WBCQ transmitters;
and the rising cost of diesel, which powers the world. Accuses
President Biden of ``high treason for the war on fossil fuels``. Huh?
0142 reminiscing about The Jetsons cartoon show. 0147 finally
datestamp for 25 of November YOOLF 2022, trimulcasting on 7490, 6160
and 5130: so I measure them on Maryland remote: 7489.937, 6159.936,
5129.995 = close! Teases about the meaning of WBCQ: could be ``We
Broadcast Continuous Quality``. Reads some Free Radio Weekly pirate
logs just published. Wrapup and 0159 prayer running over into Hal
Turner time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA [non]. 13755, Nov 25 at 0805, S6/S9 talk in Pidgin often
mentioning Port Moresby, the SSOB by far with only a few JBA carriers
elsewhere on band; 0814 ID as Radio Australia - but we know this is
really an RNZP relay. Its frequencies are usually slightly askew so I
bother to measure this one: 13755.016 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 5010 // 5800, Fri Nov 25 at 0557, WRMI with R.
República on both, closing announcement partially missed but says on
5010, not 5800; also now at 11 pm-midnight [EST = 04-05 UT] LMJSD =
MTTSS local days on 670 La Poderosa! Sounded like 660 but
sesenta/setenta very hard to distinguish, as this must be WWFE, Miami,
U4 50/1 kW, which at night power has zero chance of being heard in
Cuba vs 15 Rebelde transmitters all over the island, and one
Enciclopedia per WRTH. But: still no jamming heard on either SW
frequency, unlike 9955 with other exile shows, and 9490 RR via France
starting at 0100, frequency which BTW, I omit on WOR 2166. What`s the
Frequency, Glenneth? Not tuned in early enough to tell whether this
extension still be about nothing but derechos de trabajo (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 10050, Nov 25 at 0757, suptorted music at S9+10, 0759 Spanish
about Cuba, sounder, brief news. Now tuned up on second harmonic
rather than fundamental is R. Rebelde instead of 10080 = 2 x 5040
RHC!! Already at 0736 I had a JBA carrier on 5025 about as weak as
5020 Solomons: that would be Rebelde remnant exciter only. Just to be
certain, I make 10050 // MW 710 amid the USQRM at 0804. 10050 is
causing severe QRM to Gander VOLMET on 10051-USB! but somewhat
separable with USB tuning. It IDs and is ``out`` at 0800 for now.
Something`s horribly wrong at RadioCuba. At least I hear nothing on X3
= 15075 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, Nov 25 at 0741, S9/+10 of dead air in English from RHC
where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Nov 25 at 0730, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati,
while no other 9 kHz splits audible, TP nor TA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 7580, Nov 25 at 0744, S5/S7 classical piano music.
It`s VOK Japanese service at 07-13 per EiBi -- so is not 100% bad!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4025 USB, Nov 25 at 0735 UT, unID pirate with S9 of
hard rock. 4+ MHz is a secondary pirate band to 7- MHz, but I seldom
hear one, and this is way late out of prime time. Zero recent reports
of anything anywhen on 4025 in HF Underground (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 5845, Nov 25 at 1537, fair signal in Korean. It`s BBC
via Tinang, PHILIPPINES USAGM, likely on that 21 degree beam which
carries right on into deep North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 2097.3 kHz CW, Nov 25 at 0732 UT, single letter beacon A,
sent every dekasecond, JBA in noise level, from anywhere but
Quartzsite AZ. BTW, the high local `line` noise level here on LW, MW
and SW is only bound to get worse until Epiphany tho I`ve yet to see
any Xmas lighting in the immediate neighborhood (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A.. 13563.5 CW, Nov 25 at 1655, JBA beacon vs CODAR, finally
copied as PCO, occasionally a dash among many repetitions. LWCA shows:
``13563.49~ PCO Pine, CO DM79ij CW (h,r 2022/10)``

No Pine, but Pine Grove? between Castle Rock and Fairplay, SW of
Denver, in Rand McNally Large Scale Road Atlas, 2013

Wikipedia: ``Pine is an unincorporated community and a U.S. Post
Office in Jefferson County, Colorado, United States. The Pine Post
Office has the ZIP Code 80470.[1] The town is also called Pine Grove.
Every summer the residents hold the annual Rhubarb Festival.[2]``

It`s been months since I`ve logged any beacon in the 13550-13570 ISM
band, not even my most ``regular``, K6FRC. Never heard PCO before.
Distancefromto first tries Queensland coast. I think not. Spelling out
Pine or Pine Grove, Colorado, it finds one just north of Colorado
Springs, far-right far-Christian anti-gay hotspot, not the same. I`d
say PCO is a bit under 500 miles (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Confirmed first SWBC, UT Friday November 25 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, with
self-imposed noise burst immediately for 10+ seconds!! Otherwise S9+10
into Missouri SDR but noisy; closest minor storms are off SE Texas and
Mississippi Gulf coast.

Also confirmed NEW time of 0830 UT Friday November 25, as first
reported last week on 5010 by Wolfgang Bueschel:

``Hi Glenn, I can confirm World of Radio new airing at 0830 Friday on
5010, 5850 and 7780. All audible on various US SDRs. 73s Dave`` Kenny

``Dear Glenn: I wasn`t sleeping that well on Nov 25 UTC. I got up and
hearing 5850 kHz playing World of Radio #2166 now. Signal was
excellent (55434) some static QRN, at 0830-0859 UTC, one in a million
check again next week, Richard`` Lemke, Alberta.

``Glenn - On Nov 25 (Friday), tuned into 5850 (WRMI), at 0848 UT,
expecting to hear the usual weekly (0800-0900) recorded diatribe of
the late Tony Alamo, but instead a Thanksgiving gift! Heard your voice
instead with WOR 2166, with good reception and // 5010 (poor) and
didn't check 7780. So a miracle has happened, you have replaced Tony
Alamo! What is now happening on 5850 from 0800-0830? Ron, California``
Howard.

Tnx for the chex! I certainly expected to be sound asleep by 0830, but
awake due to circumstances beyond my control. So I also hear me direct
at 0830 on all three frequencies. Tune in at 0828, Spanish music
already // 5010 5850 7780; 0829 switch to gospel tune in English; no
ID break, 0830 start WOR. 5010 is S9+10 but noisy; 7780 S7/S8; 5850
S9+30 aimed NW right at us.

Also confirmed Friday November 25 at 1537 the 1530 on WRMI 9955,
S9/+10 direct, no jamming audible. Next:

** U S A. 4840, Nov 25 at 0737, WWCR does it again: S9+30 of dead air;
also a suspicious buzz 4854-4860 might be out of this but no match on
minus side. Something`s wacko at WWCR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5931 & 5939 approx., Nov 25 at 0739, spurs out of S9+30 PMS
on WWCR 5935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1240 kHz, Nov 25 at 0825 UT, bandscan finds one signal
briefly atop the pileup with weather, studio address in Nevada [the
middle A is long; I have roots there], Missouri, ``97.5 FM Double-K
Country``. So it`s KNEM as in NRC AM Log with only 500/500 watts
unlike most kilowatt graveyards, and nothing there about any FM. WTFDA
FM db shows 97.5 is KNMO-FM, 6/6 kW Double-K Country, but no connexion
to 1240. But there is another Double-K Country on 99.9, K260DP which
does relay KNEM 1240. Figure that out? It`s probably my 4th-closest
1240, in a first-adjacent state, after all, 351 km = 218 miles away,
but I can`t find any previous log of it. The NRC record is held by
Wayne Heinen, Aurora CO at 573 miles. Soon back into the mush but some
station was resuming `After Hours` which is CBS Sports Radio. If this
were an ESPN on 1240, a nearer station also has a 97.5 translator, KFH
Wichita KS (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Nov 25 at 0746, JBA carrier from R. Vanuatu, 2 x
3945; while 11835, 3 x 3945, finally attains JBA, i.e. modulation
audible more than just a carrier, S1/S3 of YL talk (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
