not on the air as I am about to check whether RAE Portuguese relay
would yet again repeat the 3-year-old `Atualidade DX` program. Jeff

that`s what it is per:

terminating net till next week.

At 1508, WPFY721 calls WNBE830, making an early check-in to the
Missouri net which starts at 1530; discuss coming winter weather
warnings in both states. WNPV700 Durant also heard again until 1511.

neither near Fayetteville. There *is* a 1490 in far Fayetteville NC,
WAZZ with AC/CHR format, which would be a great catch; and the ESPN
mention could have been some other station. Radio-locator shows WAZZ

``KREJ 101.7 FM
Keeping Ready Expecting Jesus
KSNS 91.5 FM
Keep Singing New Songs

KREJ and KSNS are listener supported Christian radio stations
operating from Medicine Lodge, Kansas and serving south central Kansas
and northwest Oklahoma. KREJ carries teaching programs, drama, local
worship services, and a variety of Christian music. It operates on
101.7 FM at 50,000 watts. KSNS broadcasts contemporary Christian music
on 91.5 FM at 96,000 watts. Area volunteers are an important part of
both stations.

New Owner! The FCC approved the sale of KREJ and KSNS to Smile FM on
May 28, and the sale was completed soon after that.

Ed C., with Larry Martin’s help, has fixed the distortion and buzzing
that has plagued the KREJ signal for several months. Also, they have
switched KREJ and KSNS back to their original frequencies. KREJ
programming is now broadcast on 101.7 FM and KSNS programming is on
91.5 FM. Plus, KSNS is now using Smile FM programming. Visit Smile FM
to learn about our new owner and donate to support Christian radio in
south central Kansas!``

Most carriers up around 0100 but no modulation: into Georgia SDR at

later in evening at 0541 seems back to normal on 5850, 7570, 7730,

name for KZOT Bellevue NE = Omaha, ex- sports format. R. Martí &
multiple Rebelde jammers are not much of a factor here, rather IBOC
noise peaking 1183 from KOTV 1170 Tulsa - but that not always on? or a
problem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1260, Jan 19 at 0513 UT, Spanish non-ID as ``12-60 AM``;
0552 romantic music; 0601 ``101.9 y 1260, somos ----?``, in QRM. The
FM clinches it as KTAE Elgin TX, U1 1000/144 watts, address in Austin,
named Magia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1530 kHz, Jan 19 at 0515 UT, Spanish, ``104.9 y 95.1``, so
it`s KZNX Creedmoor TX, near Austin, never mind the inconsequential AM
frequency, U2 10000/220 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.60, Jan 19 at 0609, JBA carrier hetting 810.00 WHB

UNIDENTIFIED. 1190, Jan 19 at 0557 UT, Spanish, neurological advice,
PSA or infomercial? Probably usual XEPZ Juárez (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 1290, Jan 18 before and after 0800 UT, South Asian songs,
no ID heard. NRC AM Log does not show any US or Canadian station with
such a format on 1290. However, CFRW Winnipeg has just changed hands
into such a format! See Jon Pearkins` Canadian Radio News, via NRC DX
News Dec 30:

``1290 CFRW MB Winnipeg – First reported back on the air, somewhat
intermittently, with a testing audio loop on December 15 with 1 kW,
going off the air at 1739. Back on the air by the next day with 10 kW,
presumably using their licensed day and night patterns, as Akash, the
new owners, purchased the transmitter site from Bell. And began being
heard in Europe by several DXers. Akash staff is saying that the
station will officially launch in February. Already using the same
‘Connect’ branding/slogan as co-owned CKER-FM Edmonton, AB: “Connect
AM 1290.” Another slogan being heard is “Asli Radio,” which means
“Real Radio” in Punjabi.

On October 16, the CRTC approved the sale of CFRW by Bell to Akash and
granted a license that expires August 31 2031. This contradicts the
October 10 CRTC decision that states “New licences issued after the
publication of this regulatory policy will also receive indefinite
licences.“ With its standard Commercial Radio License, CFRW can
broadcast no more than 19 hours per Broadcast Week of ethnic
programming, defined as not in English, French or Indigenous languages.
There is no restriction on the overnight period, Midnight to 6:00 AM,
as it is not considered part of the Broadcast Week.

CFRW began as CJQM-1470 on November 1, 1963, as a clone of CHQM-1320
in Vancouver BC. But never saw the ratings or advertising success of
CHQM. CJQM had lost one million dollars and, in November 1969, became
“the only radio station in North America ever to go bankrupt” (The
Globe and Mail, Toronto Ontario, February 12, 1970)``

10 kW day and night patterns supposedly restrict signal to the south,

Hauser, OK, WOR)

snowplows at work. How is winter where you are? 1) Jayanta

another, probably CNP Chappell NE, really on 383 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2330 monitoring: Confirmed Saturday
January 17 at 2030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975, JBA into Bedford
UK SDR, not UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday January 17 at 2030 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S7/S9
into N9AZZ IL remote.

After Feature Story News at 2059, chopped for ID, WOR 2330 plays
*again* at 2100 on WRMI 9395, presumably not from WRN, altho also on
WRN Europe stream at this time.

Not started by 2030 Saturday January 17 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO: very
difficult to detect via available SDRs; St Louis one has it best but
times out too quickly. JBA at 2121 into KM4RT west TN SDR, so the
2030v may have just started.

Also confirmed Saturday January 17 at 2205 the 2200 on WRMI 9395,
S9/+10 into Maryland SDR - the third time in two hours; OK!

Also confirmed Saturday January 17 at 2230 on WRMI 15770, and 17790,
both S6/S7 direct.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 18 at 0030 on IRRS SW/NEXUS/IBA/IPAR
webcast.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 18 the 0415v starting at 0424 on
WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+10/15 into KM4RT west TN SDR.

Also confirmed Sunday January 18 at 0730 on WRN via WRMIs direct: 5850
S9+30/45, 7570 S9+5, 7780 S8/S9, 7730 JBA carrier.

Happened to awaken at 1050 so checked 9510 direct for the 1030 on IRRS
SW: JBA, could be me. But confirmed: ``Here is the following reception
report of World of Radio Via IRRS Milan on SW: 9510 18/1 1054
IRRS-Milan, RO-Tiganesti Px WOR 2330. E 55555. I have heard the

clip MP3 of 571 kB. 73 from Tanino Marabello, QTH Treviso, Veneto
(IT), RX: SONY ICF-SW7600G, Antenna: 10m longwire,

As a noncommercial public service program, financial support
appreciated. Thanks this week to Terry Colgan of Texas Radio SW for a
contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com, and says, ``Thanks
for another year of dedication to keeping listeners and DXers
up to date on the state of shortwave radio.``

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to

** U S A. 5129.94, Jan 18 at 0056. `Radio TimTron Worldwide` ending,
``stay tuned for `Fred Flintstone` on *7415*``, a long-gone WBCQ
frequency so this RTTWW must also be very old (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re WBCQ 7490: ``Supposedly off after 0500*`` --- I have no
basis to assert or even predict that this will happen, but if
9330-related revenue stops coming in, their mostly
self-financed-so-far Radio Angela 2.0 on 6160 would be a controllable
expense, and moving some of it to 7490 after hours and shutting off
6160 might actually make sense. Did the transmitter go off after 0516
or continue with something else?`` -- Bill Tilford.

I did not monitor further; let`s hear what happen tonight: 0500 UT
Sunday Jan 18, 7490 goes from `SW Sat Night`, to `The Devil`s
Advocate` instead of turning off as on sked, with T.D.A. shown as 0400
UT Saturdays. Still on at 0526. Not really listening to it; assumed
still the show as introduced. Rather poor reception even inaudible
unto Maryland SDR, but poor into KM4RT TN. I suspect 7490 be
underpowered. Off by next check 0633, probably around 0600.

Bill Tilford: ``So much for Radio Angela 2.0 there. That show makes
The Proud Boys look like McGovern Democrats by comparison`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``Glenn: — "880 -- this must be KJOZ Conroe TX".
Format-of-the-Month club. If I'm recalling this correctly, it seems
KJOZ "La Calle" was a moniker for a Latino-Hits type musical slate
targeting the young folks — and before that I seem to recall KJOZ
being Spanish-Religious. I did hear snippets of what sounded like a
SS-Sports presence on 880 a few nights ago, via the Mississippi SDR,
and just assumed it was KJOZ (not WIJR, which seems to be pretty much
pure Regional Mexican). So, either all that, or my imagination is
laboring overtime. 73z de the other G H`` - Greg Hardison (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
