Hauser
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, April 6 at 1425, no signal this
Wednesday from LRA36 into four Brazilian remotes checked. Some editors
will throw this out as an insignificant non-log: I maintain its
absences are at least as significant as its appearances, and should be
documented; as with other irregulars (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9805, April 6 at 0621, wall-of-noise jamming
against nothing in response to R. Martí reactivated here for A-22 but
only at 10-13! Now also various jam levels against nothings on 7435,
7375, 7355, 7335, 6030 WON; 5980 vs the WWCR leapfrog mixing product
of WWCRs 5890 TOMBS over 5935 DGS/PMS another 45 kHz beyond,
fundamentals so strong that the ghostly voice of BS can be heard on
5980 mixed with jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, April 6 at 0635, the only RHC frequency left, S9+10/20
of undermodulated English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [and non]. 9439.995, April 6 at 2204, R. Cairo, S9+25/30 into
UTwente, English news mostly readable if you concentrate against the
distortion and humwhine. Yet I decline.

Ex-9900 is occupied by CNR1 echo jamming against another Chinese
signal, i.e. RTI, April 6 at 2205, S9+30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [non]. 9420, April 6 at 1656, I tune for VOG to catch it
going off at 1700 like yesterday? Good signal into UTwente, S9+15, but
music at 1658 and announcement are *not* Greek. EPT is already off
uncovering CNR13. No timesignal but mentions ``Radiostantsiyom`` so
Russian-influenced, like Kazakh as some have guessed? 1702 ``Burasi``
as in a Turkic language, ``this is``, like Uyghur as listed. 1703
onward lots of talk.

Alan Roe, Teddington, UK, reports to the WOR iog: ``A later start
today (6 April) for V of Greece - observed crashing-on at 1417 UT
(9420 kHz).`` Christos Rigas, Wood Dale IL, replies: ``Late start was
most likely due to general strike in Greece today. Broadcast employees
were on strike which ended at 1300 UT today. And abruptly off at 1647.
Short shift for the two ERT employees at Avlida today``

Background via Kim Elliott:
```[WOR] Greek City Times on the Voice of Greece Reprieve
Given recent restrictions and interruptions to the internet, the Greek
Defense Ministry thinks the imminent demise of shortwave is a
non-starter ...

https://greekcitytimes.com/2022/04/02/voice-of-greece-granted-a-reprieve-still-broadcasting-for-2-more-months/
or
https://twitter.com/kaedotcom/status/1511702524318957574

``The closure of the analog broadcast of the Voice of Greece has been
delayed, even temporarily. With a decision taken last Wednesday and
signed by ERT CEO George Gabritsos, the public radio and television
announced that at the request of the Ministry of Defense, the Avlida
shortwave broadcast centre will remain active until May 31, when
re-evaluating the conditions for further continuation or not of its
operation.

In an earlier decision, ERT had stated that its broadcast on shortwave
would end yesterday, March 31, and had addressed the Ministries of
Foreign Affairs and Defense “to decide whether they want the
continuation of the shortwave broadcasts, as well as the acquisition
of ownership and the operation of the shortwave operation at their own
risk“.

Voice of Greece Shortwave Frequencies

11645 kHz for Central & South Africa,

Yes, those 3 frequencies part of the story, altho only 9420 is active
for certain; nominal schedule seems M-F 1230-1700 UT only (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed April 6 at 2208, REE token English is VG into
Maryland SDR; misc. cultural/arts news by Amy; 2217 Justin introduces
9-minute acceptance speech of new director-general-elect of the ILO,
who is from Togo, the first African. Justin never spelt his name ---
this is not TV! --- so I had to search for it: Gilbert Houngbo (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.002, April 6 at 2207, VOT news in English is VG into
UTwente, except for lite whine: that`s better than the squeal.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 6 at 0501.5-0508.8, UR1 delayed relay
via WRMI, English segment `Ukraine: Security Issues`, starting UU
language hour. If this time be inconvenient for you, Richard Langley
says the previous airing after 0000 UT reaches the UTwente SDR well on
1386 kHz via Radio Baltic Waves, LITHUANIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2132 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday April 5 at
2230 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10 over jamming into Maryland SDR; at 2245,
S7/S9 into Bonaire where jamming is worse; and S9+10/15 into Missouri
where jamming S/N ratio is somewhat better.

``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of

Next WOR 2133 should be ready early UT Friday April 8 for first
broadcasts at 0130 on WRMI 5850 & 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Transoceanic JBA MW carrier search, April 6 at 0642:
711, 846, 882, 1107; likely resp.: Morocco, Kiritimati, Canary
Islands, Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, April 6 at *1500, mystery Protestant broadcast in
English on air abruptly and I do not catch any ID. It`s S7/S8 into
Missouri SDR; program theme at O&C is hymn ``Blessed Assurance``.
Gospel huxter starts mentioning wildfires at Colorado Springs as if
current or recent. There may be lots of them, but quick search implies
the last major event was December 22, 2021. Goes on to discuss and
instruct on how to pray and how much -- plenty. From visual
references, this is soundtrack of some TV program.

At UTwente it`s S8/9+10 on 11620.001. At Bandung SDR it`s S8/S9. 1510
I attempt some TDOAs: Brisbane/Perth/Bandung lead to -35.80, +118.20,
which is in the Indian Ocean just off the SW tip of Australia near
Albany WA: no, but I am still suspecting RBA Kununurra in NW WA. At
least I find the signal widely audible: S9+10 into Half Moon Bay, CA;
S9/+10 into Kuwait. At 1525, S Korea/Kuwait/Perth lead to somewhere
deeper into the Indian Ocean.

At 1527 the Blessed Assurance theme again, a couple bits of other
tunes, closing with contact info or ID as VOMKorea, off at 1529.7* in
time for Vatican crash start Arabic at *1530.

Mauno Ritola was also listening: ``I can't catch the beginning of the
email address, either. Attached. 73, Mauno``

I reply: ``On your recording the word before @ sounds like Maldives as
unlikely as that seem, or maybe Mouthpiece?`` Meanwhile I have
inquired of their generic address on website, info@vomkorea.com --

``Dear Voice of Martyrs, For the past three days I have been hearing
your shortwave broadcast in English at 1500-1530 UTC on 11620 kHz.
Could you tell me where this is being transmitted from? Thanks,
Glenn Hauser, Oklahoma`` No reply yet as of 2342 UT April 6 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** CUBA. 6100, April 5 at 0623, only RHC frequency still on, English
undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [non]. see GREECE [and non]. 9420

** EGYPT. 9440, April 5 at 2159.5 early timesignal, R. Cairo news
theme and English recognizable altho unreadable with usual extreme
distortion, S7-S9 into Maryland SDR. No signals like this in the
9890-9900-9910 area. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [and non]. 9420.002, April 5 at 1514, no doubt that VOG is
on today, S9+20/30 into UTwente, Greek music and talk, mentions Franz
Kafka; but CCCCCCI audible under. Scheduled now per Aoki are both CNR6
via Beijing site, and CNR13 Lingshi site and both in Chinese. 1559 VOG
IS & ID, more of same next hour until abruptly cut off at 1700 before
any IS & ID, so the day shift is over, and may not return for evening
nor especially overnight = prime time in North America. And thus
audiblizing:

9420, April 5 at 1700, ERT off uncovering what sounds like an NA and
non-Greek talk, in a Turkic language. Again fitting like heard
yesterday as CNR13 in Uighur via Lingshi 725 site, which is between
Beijing and Xian, far from target East Turkistan, land of imperialist
Chicom genocide against Uyghurs. Continues indoctrination talk with
brief music breaks past 1725; and heavy splash from musix on 9410 &
9425. 1727, 9420 itself plays part of one of the ChiCom martial
anthems, and more talk. 1800 recheck now music only until 1805* as
scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 9675.009, April 5 at 2009, ``Inilah ... Radio Sa`udi
International`, good modulation and signal into UTwente, in Indonesian
when Turkish has been scheduled 1800-2100, and before sunrise in
Indonesia! I suspect it`s a temporary Ramadan service for early-rising
breakfasters. 2050 haunting music with echoing, seemingly secular but
with Qur`anic elements; 2056 ``Ramadan Karimi`` [?], more music until
cut off at 2058* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 15709.876, April 5 at 1449, JBA carrier way
off-frequency; AWR Chinese scheduled ``15710`` this hour daily via
Trincomalee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 5 at 2201, VOT English S9+10/25 into Maryland
SDR and also UTwente, but with horrible continuous squealing.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2132 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday April 5 at 0030 on WRMIs: into Maryland SDR, 9395 S9+15. 9455
VP S5/S6 with ute? QRM, but into Missouri SDR, 9455 is VG S9+25.

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

** U S A. 4840, April 5 at 0625, yet again this WWCR`s air is dead, at
S9+40, while the other three are modulating but much weaker, even 3215
which ought to be low enough not to be reduced by propagation. No one
is paying attention at 1300 WWCR Ave (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, April 5 at 1445, WTWW with gospel-huxtering in
English, not Ukrainian or rock music today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, meant to get here before 1500 April 5 to check
out mystery gospel-huxtering in English, but not until 1525, when it`s
only S9 into UTwente with big splash from 11610 CRI East Turkistan.
1528 hymn and 1529* off. But just before 1530 it`s back on or
something is giving e-mail @VOMKorea.com. That`s a big clue. Huge
VATICAN in Arabic does not crash-start 11619.995+ until *1530.

VOM Korea is Voice of Martyrs. Cannot find anything on their website
about SW broadcasts! Hit EN icon and it stays in Korean! Altho
primarily for Korea, HQ in the South, this ministry also goes
elsewhere including India and Africa where English might be useful.
WRTH 2022 shows no such broadcasts on page 518, just three Koreans via
Tashkent, including 1530-1600 daily on 7530 in B-21. Perhaps 11610 now
replace that? But no good with Vatican on it. Unless before 1530 I had
a totally different station. Still no listings in latest HFCC dated
April 5, nor Aoki, nor EiBi, nor in Feb WRTH B21 Updater. When I
recheck 11620 at 1635, Vatican is finished, and nothing else.

Coincidentally just in from Ivo Ivanov, April 5:
``UZBEKISTAN Frequency changes of Voice of Martyrs via RRTM Tashkent
1530-1600 NF 7530 TAC 100 kW / 076 deg to NEAs Korean Daily ex 7525``
but nothing about 11620. And also:

``AUSTRALIA Reach Beyond Australia relay Voice of Martyrs in Korean on
9580 kHz via Kununurra, March 31:
0930-1000 on 9580 KNX 100 kW / 335 deg to NEAs Korean Daily. Very
good via SDR Half Moon Bay, CA in USA``
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2022/04/reach-beyond-australia-relay-voice-of.html

On RBA website, called True Voice of the Martyrs --- nothing about
11620 or at this time on RBA sked, but shows the VOM program could be
relayed elsewhere, and yesterday`s signal on 11620 was good enough to
be RBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Glenn Hauser logs April 3-4, 2022  View Printable Version 
Tuesday, April 05 2022

Hauser
** ARMENIA. 1395, April 4 at 1809, no significant signal into Khimki,
Russia remote; while 1386 with R. Svoboda via Lithuania is S9+15/20.
Latest update from Shortwaves for Freedom says the 1395 relay of R.
Svoboda has been retimed to 2100-2200 UT. They do not admit it`s via
Armenia, nor 9370 at 1900-2000; but Ivo Ivanov asserts that the latter
is too ``ERV`` = Yerevan, a.k.a. Gavar.

1395, April 4 at 1951 is making it to UTwente with Dead Brother Scare,
presumably still 1900-2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 11675, April 4 at 1511, Chinese with fast SAH,
presumably CNR1 jammer atop rather than RFA Chinese via SAIPAN during
this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, April 4 at 1503, RHC is S9/+10 but just barely
modulated. 11760, April 4 at 1507, RHC is S9/+10 here of dead air
except for some hum. Somethings always wrongs at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [and non]. 9899.8, April 3 at 2209 direct, very weak carrier
with het from another 9900.0, presumed Cairo and China? Nothing around
9440, supposed English frequency at 2115-2245. Not checked at UTwente
this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995+, April 4 at 2133, typical R. Cairo, S9+35/40 into
UTwente of extremely distorted and suppressed modulation of music and
talk resembling English. 2158, also with humwhine. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt. But at least Qahiran frequency accuracy has
improved.

9899.99, April 4 at 2131 just before above log, tuned in here to an
open carrier, no mod and shortly off. Then checked 9909.99 and found
an S9 carrier with no mod. Somethings else? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [non]. 9420, Dave Kenny, BDXC-UK was surprised to hear ERT
back on air April 4 at 1500. This should not have been a surprise as
reprieve info indicated it would be M-F only. Some others also
reported it before 1700.

But at 1710 into UTwente, the one station on 9420 is NOT in Greek, nor
musical, continuous talk in unknown language. Maybe Uyghur as CNR13 is
scheduled from Lingshi until 1805, and ERT off again? 1727 a bit of
theme music, back to talk past 1730+. Heavy ACI from 9425 VOK in
Russian.

EiBi is up and 90% complete for A22; time version shows the Lingshi //
to 9420 is 9890; checked at 1741, it seems // but heavy music CCI on
9890, which per Aoki would be V of Korear in Ararbic.

I did not get back to 9420 until 1806, when nothing was left, but
Richard Langley heard via UTwente 9420 CNR13 going off about 1805.
Christos Rigas, Wood Dale, Illinois, says, ``I was hearing VO Greece
today via UTwente between 1445-1700 UT with quite a good signal. I
stopped listening at 1700. When I tuned in again at 1812, there was no
signal of any kind on 9420 kHz``. He speaks Greek fluently and is sure
it was VOG earlier.

9420.003, one more check at 2340 April 4, UTwente lox onto a very weak
carrier, obviously not Greece, maybe China. It seems that under the
reprieve, only two staff are paid for at Avlis, so operational hours
have to be much less than before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, April 4 at 1510, Kurdish? talk, presumed
Dengê Welat, and maybe a second signal under, Turkish jammer? Lately
they have both been here instead of 11540. As of April 4, Ivo Ivanov,
Observer Bulgaria, has this sked showing additional SCB = Bulgaria
relays, but nothing about the Turkish jamming; will that attack two
frequencies at once?

BRB Denge Welat
0230-0530 on 9525 ISS 250 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish
0400-0700 on 7285 SCB 050 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish
0530-1600 on 11530 KCH 300 kW / 130 deg to WeAs Kurdish
0700-1700 on 11775 SCB 050 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish
1600-1800 on 11530 ISS 250 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish
1700-2100 on 5935 SCB 050 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish
1800-2100 on 9525 ISS 250 kW / 090 deg to WeAs Kurdish

So before 1600 when I logged, site would have been PRIDNESTROVYE. With
Putin`s war raging nearby, have there been any disruptions to Russia`s
KCH relays of many foreign services? Any payments going there are in
effect supporting genocide, even if they could agree on what currency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, April 4 at 2200, REE token English on Monday, S7/S9+5
into Maryland SDR, the only station daring to 16-meter itself to us,
is on average holding up rather well this spring, at least until 2230,
I think better than last year now that sunspots and solar flux are
rising. First news item: about Spain increasing spending on microchips
due to shortages; Amy Egan`s feature after 2209 song, part 2 of
interview with director of Thyssen Museum [not Titian], but it`s hard
to get into a verbal discussion of a supremely visual medium. Sort of
like talking about music rather than playing it (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 3 at 2210, JBA carrier direct but no RTTY,
presumed VOT not making it due to propagation disturbance (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.021, April 4 at 2200, VOT is S9+50 into UTwente,
allowing expansion to max bandwidth of 13.53 kHz --- but input audio
is lo-fi ``telco quality``! Worse than usual. Overmodulated and
distorted. 2213 `Feeling Supreme` sub-titled`Health Life` [sic?],
about natural cures for kidney stones --- long lists of foods and
beverages which are OK and those which may cause them --- now, which
was which? 2218.5 F.S. outro theme and on to another song. Off before
2300, no bonus German today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 4 at 0501-0506, UR1 via WRMI again with
brief English segment, `Ukraine: Security Issues`, YL announcer.
Richard Langley says there have been two different OMs. I listened a
while longer: there were some patriotic songs such as at 0509, not
just talk in Ukrainian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2132 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 3 at 2001 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+7.

Also confirmed Sunday April 3 at 2230 on WRMI 5950, S9+22 into
Knoxville SDR. Still not canceled altho not on sked. BTW, if anyone
run across a surprise WOR time on WRMI, do let me know.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 4 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, VP S8/S9
direct, after spurious ``Bob Zanotti`` between full canned ID and
WOR.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 4 at 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160-,
S9+10 into Maryland remote; dead air at 0328 recheck so I hope that
did not apply to much of it. Did anyone note what happened earlier?

Thanks this week for financial support from Keith Konnerth, KC8YJW,
for a contribution via PayPal not necessarily in US$ to
woradio at yahoo.com and says, ``keep the Ukraine info coming.``

** U S A. 15770, VOA [non], April 4 at 1951 via WRMI, `Flashpoint:
Ukraine`, final item in the 1935 program about hackers texting
individual Russian phones with the truth, S9 via UTwente (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, April 4 at 1504, S9/+10 of rock music from WTWW, just
what they are pining for in Ukraine per Ted`s imagination. Also a SAH,
as during this hour RFA in Chinese is also scheduled via Kuwait: I
doubt USAGM would appreciate the additional QRM to CNR1 jamming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, April 4 at 0615, S6/S8 of talk and music. R Vanuatu
has extended this frequency instead of QSY to 5040 at 0600, so now I`m
hearing more than a JBA carrier and in the clear, no worries about
QubaRM. And Nigeria has courteously de-adjacented itself from 7255,
but some QRhaM encourages LSB tuning. Ron Howard says there were
Tropical Low weather advisories, heard until modulation cut but still
carrier at 1101. Will RV stay on 7260? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11620, April 4 at 1509, S9/+20 in English evidently for
kids about drawing images of God? Vatican Radio not scheduled here
until *1530, and no English until 1615. Nothing in Aoki at this hour,
nor A-22 EiBi which is now up and 90% complete as of April 4. Nor in
HFCC which as of 1625 April 4 was last updated April 1! What is this??
So much for assuming one can look it up later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13805, April 3 at 1458, tonal talk at S9/+10 with flutter.
Not sure if Chinese but must have been as until 1500 is CNR1 jamming
and SOH per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, April 3 at 0615, RHC S9+10/20 but in wrong language,
speech in Spanish. 6060 is S9/+10 of dead air in English; 6165 is
S9+20 but just barely modulated; and 5040 is off. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 17770, April 3 at 1447, music at S9 with fast fading as if
SAH from another carrier; but only VOT is scheduled this hour, in
Arabic. Second only to slightly stronger 17855 Spain and nothing else
on 16 m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, April 3 at 0501-0505, UR1 via WRMI with
English segment only 4 minutes and back to the OM announcer, `Ukraine:
Security Issues`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2132 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday April 3 from 0330 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+8 into nearby
KB0FX SDR.

Despite IRRS NEXUS-IBA schedule for Sunday at 1030 UT showing:
``12:30 Streaming + 9510 kHz English IPAR - World Of Radio``
Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria tells me:

``ROMANIA Unknown px, instead of World of Radio #2132 on 9510 kHz via
RADIOCOM Saftica, April 3: 1030-1100 on 9510 SAF 100 kW / 300 deg to
WeEu English Sun. Video will be added later today``

And from Alan Roe, Teddington, UK: ``Hi Glenn, World of Radio #2132
heard on 3 April starting at 1325 UT (and wrapping-up at 1355) on 9670
kHz on WMRI Europe (via Rohrbach, Germany).`` And the week before he
heard it ending at 1354. Next:

** U S A. 9980, April 3 at 1458, S9+30 of WWCR dead air instead of
TOMBS, a glorious respite (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, April 3 at 0612, WRNO is back on air after several
nights AWOL, S9+10/20 in English. Dr Hj Biener first reported it
resumed the night before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9940, from tune-in at 1456 past 1700 April 3,
continuous Ukrainian gospel-huxtering, Bible stories? dramatized with
music, no ID at top of hour or anytime until finally interrupting at
1625, 1629, 1659. Ted is grandiosely calling this SFAW station ``Voice
of Freedom for the people of Ukraine ---``. I think it`s all in UU not
RR but not positive. It is not // any of the three streams on website;
also linx to a transmitter #4 altho there isn`t any - yet? Silence.
WTWW is authorized 24h on 9940, but per HFCC there will be a number of
collisions on such a greatly expanded schedule:

Originally after 1500 no other WTWWs were on: 9475, 5830, 5085. At
1523 I checked one of the HMB remotes on California coast, and 9940
was dominated by Chinese - presumably jammer against USAGM Kuwait that
hour. The imaginary ``15810`` sked shows Russian at 13-14 only, no
Ukrainian but at 15-16 Greek. Before any ID, tried to run TDOA at
1534, which made a wild guess somewhere in the mid-Atlantic ocean. It
was only S6/S7 into Maine remote, but at 1606, S9/+12 into Maryland.
Not rechecked until 1835 by when it`s back to rock music on 9940
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
