** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2160 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
October 15 at 1615 the 1600 on WRN N America webcast. Missed checking
the 1930 airing, likewise circa on WA0RCR, 1860 AM. Did anyone hear
it? Also missed reconfirming WOR is still no airing at that time on
WRMI 15770, which is now back on the air. Fortunately? I got a QSL
request out of the blue from a Netherlander with a clip at that time
of a gospel huxter, who he thought was WOR, as on the sked!
Another WRN NAm webcast confirmed at 0130 UT Sunday October 16.

At 0030 UT Sun Oct 16, 7780 is still silent when WOR is scheduled.
Just in case, I check all active WRMI frequencies, but noWOR. Of
course that`s amid the trihour of TRSW on 5950 UT Sundays, but when
WOR has been newly scheduled UT Mondays.

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 16 from 0324 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO,
S9+20 into nearby SDR, but with huge storm noise; lightning is not
right over St Louis area, but nearest in SE Kansas, N Arkansas, across
central OK to NM and AZ. This caused our NBC station, KFOR, to blow
away almost all of SNL except for the opening skit and goodbye!

Re Purple Power on World of Radio #2160: ``Thanks for the tip for
cleaning the stickiness from the surface of Eton radios. I have a few
of them and, with the exception of the Satellit 750, the rest of them
all have that problem. One year I left my G8 in Florida over the
summer. When I got back here it felt like it had been dipped in maple
syrup. I'll be going out tomorrow to look for Purple Power. Best
Regards & 73s, Doug Brown, Ont.``

I have no personal familiarity with, just quoting someone. Before
purchase, I recommend googling and noting the caveats about it. Seems
you`ve got to purchase at least a gallon of it, $ 7 at Walmart. That
would clean off an awful lot of Etóns. Maybe you can find some other
stuff needing degreasing. Glenn --- Next:

** U S A. WRMI update from their FB circa 0000 UT October 16:
``We have extended the schedule on 15770 kHz to 24 hours per day until
further notice. Today our Facility Manager Pat Travers repaired more
transmission lines, and we might have 21525 kHz back on the air on
Monday if all goes well. We will then continue to work on 7570, 5850
and 7780 kHz, as well as improving 7730 kHz. Thanks for all of your
encouraging messages and support`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** U S A. Intrigued by the motto? still atop the KBDT 1160 website,
``Snot Rocket Cock Socket Hot Pocket`` -- is it slightly naughty? I
try a broad Google search on that, but except for a few spurious, get
nothing but scads of hits back to saigondallasradio.com -- nothing DX
related, not even my own logs which have been on the web for several
days now.

Among all those useless hits, I do see that R. Saigon Dallas used to
pertain to 1600 kHz, i.e., KRVA, which would overcome OK reception of
KUSHing around sunset. But the current KBDT website shows nothing
about 1600 or KRVA. It does say in English that new home is on 1160. I
try a couple of Dallas-area SDRs at 2346 UT October 15: one of them
gets nothing but noise on both frequencies, the other weak SE Asian
songs on 1600, not 1160.

At 0000 UT August 16 I listen direct and do not hear anything Asian on
either frequency. What does the very slow-loading FCC AM Query say?
KRVA 1600 owned by LRAD Media LLC, but it errors out beyond that.
Radio-locator agrees about KRVA, while KBDT is licensed to Dallas
Broadcasting, LLC. But FCC finally attributes KBDT to Pacific Star
Media LLC. I was wanting to check the official FCC SS/SR times for
both, which supposedly cut to much lower and direxional power at
night. At least for KBDT: October, 0000/1230 UT; November, 2330/1300
UT. Could be 15 minutes difference at KRVA site.

As for the motto, maybe a joke of their website designer? No credit
for any on homepage. Perhaps someone in The Metroplex DFW market can
explain more, such as what has become of 1600? Here`s a thread about
it; finally someone thought 1600 may have become S Asian:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 26200-26380 approx., Oct 15 at 2125, CODAR swirshing,
unusual? to hear on 11m, but sporadic E provides it. Other than
visiting one on a coast, is there any way to locate these by frequency
range, pulse rates, waterfall patterns, hours, or whatever? Presumably
they are licensed by government, maybe even with callsigns (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

end time but = 13 UT, earlier than I would ever tune for it. BTW, I
did monitor after 15 UT this Thursday when there was allegedly a
special station anniversary broadcast - but, nothing heard. 1532 song
but dumps off air already at 1535* for a total of only 23+ minutes
achieved today. Remote times out at 1539, and still nothing at another
check before 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, Oct 15 at 0633, RHC English again on wrong band, S9+10
but overmodulated/distorted, YL boringly reading propaganda. This did
not happen the nights before, as it had on Oct 11. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 7225 LSB, Oct 15 at 0706, surprised to hear ZL1XR
repeatedly calling CQ 40, finally contacts unheard VK3SMW, on a legal
frequency? ZL did not specify a QSX. Except in W Hemisphere, below
7200 is ham, above 7200 is for broadcasting, like RNZI on 7245 but not
on yet. Or, like on 30m where Oz hams have special permission to
operate phone, do NZ hams have special permission to operate in this
broadcast band??? Bare-bones in QRZ.com: ``ZL1XR New Zealand flag New
Zealand, Roger Smith, Auckland, New Zealand`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255 minus 67 Hz = 7254.933, Oct 15 at 1730, VON is on in
English, S9/+15 into Canary SDR but virtually unreadable, marred by
heavy lightning crashes; Blitzortung shows only small storm areas in
Western Sahara and Western Sahara [non] = northern Morocco. The really
heavy storms are further in SE Spain, and moreso eastern Mediterranean
between Crete and Cyprus. By 1735, VON is gone leaving only the
lightning and presumed trace of Tibet close to on-frequency. At 1739,
VON and its squeal are back on. 1746 gone again. 1800 back on with
squeal, minus 67-69 Hz = 7254.932v. And so it goes: Something`s always
abysmal at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2160 monitoring: did not show at
former time of 0130 UT Sat on WRMI 9395 nor any other active
frequency.

** U S A. Previous WRMI update direct from Jeff said 7730 would be
among the frequencies still to be reactivated. That should have read
7780. However whenever we check, 7730 is JBA on low power so really of
no use. The FB version, as of about 22 UT Oct 14:

``WRMI Radio Miami International 18h · HELLO EUROPE! - 15770 kHz is
back on the air, finally, after Hurricane Ian damaged the transmission
lines. The regular schedule is 1100-0000 UTC daily, but we might
extend the schedule somewhat in the coming days. Our next targets are
21525, 5850, 7570 and 7780 kHz. We hope that some of these will be
back on the air next week. So stay tuned!``

15770, Oct 15 at 1623 tune-in via Maryland remote, dead air, then a
bit of BSing, dead air, partial WRMI IS and BBB ID, back to BSing,
i.e. other voices, presumably live Sabbath service at TOM; 1625 cut to
ME music fill! Quite a mess. But it`s a good S9/+10 signal. How about
into target Europe? Only noisy S7/S9 at UTwente, 1629 cut to ``That`ll
be the day that I die`` tune. And more fill music 1630+. Yet the
skedgrid shows SMTV on 15770 at 14-19. By 1727 recheck, 15770 is on
SMTV. At 1740, music and SFX, like soundtrack to a WB cartoon of
yesterday but with some Chinese dialog, and English, 1744 outro as a
skit with actors protected during COVID, about the S.M.

Skedgrid still shows System B on 15770 instead of 9955 at 19-20 only,
including WOR Saturday at 1930, despite having deleted us from there
months ago. So we continue without any WRMI broadcast toward Europe
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Oct 15 at 0705, presumed Bislama talk is JBA on 2 x
3945 R. Vanuatu; at 0730 check, also on 3 x 3945 = 11835, S6/S8 in BB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
