``Bill, Really ehnjoyed the Canada D`eh special. I wasn`t taking

toward the ehnd. Here is what I reported in my logs:

** CANADA [non]. 7488.871, July 2 at 0200, ``Canada D`Eh`` special by
Uncle Bill and Fred Waterer on WBCQ, a fun show of comedy and tunes; I
listen first on the `7490` webcast but it craps out at 0217 so I
hasten to Area 51 webcast, but it`s some other music! The special was
supposed to be on both 7490 & 6160. Then I bring up the Maryland SDR
to find that 6160 is not even on the air, but it`s getting 7490. A few
minutes later I can go back to the 7490 webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

The 7490 webcast crapped out again about 0253, but I still had the
NA5B remote running. 73, Glenn PS: I also plugged it a few minutes
before on the first WOR broadcast at 0130``

online after being away since Thursday afternoon, eQSL will be coming

simulcast, yes. Appreciate the plug, will be getting to eQSLs in a few
hours. Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for everything.

Glenn, we don't have serial numbers for these, but you are the first
one. Enjoy. 73,``

it's odd but fun to be on the Sending side of QSLs rather than the
Receiving side. Cheers, Fred Waterer

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL WATERS [and non]. No activity on ``Hurricane Watch
Net`` frequencies of 14325-USB and 7268-LSB, July 6 at 0126 and
earlier. BTW, there is a hurricane across Cuba toward Florida (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6974.9-AM, July 6 at 0110, JBA pirate music,
presumed usual Nowhere Radio on this exact frequency. As here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,83629.0.html

6950-USB, July 6 at 0111, pirate music S6 vs storm crashes peaking S9.
Many reports here as Radio Genix as early as 2028 UT July 5:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,83620.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Nearby NDB check July 6 at 0130 UT: confirmed
ON: 515 PN Ponca City, 350 RG OKC, 341 EI Enid, 332 IC Wichita KS. I
am getting these much better S/N on N/S shortwire than on E/W
Wellbrook which is supposed to be lower-noise. Still off: 255 SW
Stillwater (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday July 5 at 2200, REE intro by Justin Coe does
not mention a mailbag segment coming up, but there was one reported 3
weeks ago; irregular? VG into Maryland SDR. BTW, Alison Hughes was
said to have taken early retirement (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 395-MCW kHz, July 6 at 0128 UT, maybe my line noise is
abating a bit altho I have not heard from OG&E; two 25-watt Kansas
NDBs colliding, but with slightly different periods almost alternating
for one iteration: CA in Newton/Harvs to the north, and ULS Ulysses to
the NW. Classaxe.com shows respective periods are 6.27 and 7.41
seconds.

Harvs is a strange name, and not even in my large scale Rand McNally
atlas, but distancefromto.net locates it not near Newton at all, but
NW of Lyons and ENE of Great Bend. From there it is 174 miles to
Ulysses in the SW corner (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28206.3-CW, July 6 at 0054 UT, VVV DE KM4NBB/B. Some more CW
followed I did not copy, and I thought it was KM4NB/B, missing a B,
and about 28206.1, but listed as such by WJ5O at qsl.net:

``28.2063 KM4NBB C MURRARYVILLE [sic], GEORGIA # 5W, VERTICAL New 19
September 2020`` - and his page at QRZ.com says:

``KM4NBB USA flag USA, William E Stephens, Murrayville, GA 30564 USA
10 Meter Beacon 28.206300 MHZ Grid Square: EM84BM - If you hear this
beacon, please email QSL to the address below Email:
william@williamestephens.com Thank you``

There was also some Spanish phone USB QRM this low in the 10m band.

More strikeouts seeking sporadic E FM DX 88+ MHz, but MUF at least up
to 28+. Another relogged many times:
28281.2-CW, July 6 at 0057 UT, DE W8EH, i.e.:
``28.281 W8EH C MIDDLETOWN OHIO # 8W, GP VERTICAL``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
July 4 from 2000:44 UT on IRRS via Italia AM, 918 kHz, Villa Estense,
good but French?Kriyol? occasional QRM, perhaps overload in Noale
SDR.

Also confirmed Sun July 4 at 2200 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 minus 100
Hz = 6159.900 kHz, per Maryland remote in SAM mode, S7-S9. (The other
WBCQ with `UBMP` on 7490 minus 102 Hz = 7488.898 kHz.)

Also confirmed Sun July 4 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9 over Cuban pulse
jamming into Maryland SDR; S1-S2 into Brasília #2 SDR, even tho it`s
aimed thataway.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 5 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Mon July 5 at 0130 on WRN webcast to N America.

Also confirmed UT Mon July 5 at 0244 the 0230 on WRMIs, 5800 S6-S9,

Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary
support: no new thanks this week for a MO or check in US funds
on a US bank, to: Glenn Hauser, Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA

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

** U S A. 9395, July 5 at 0205 tune-in to WRMI for Texas R SW 4th of
July special - patriotic speech by YL in progress, not music yet;
illegible notes; 0213 Ray Charles: America the Beautiful; 0222 QSL
offer in OM voice and intro next tune, Springsteen: Born in the USA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, July 6 at 0124 still no signal from 500 kW WLCR via
WBCQ, and I guess there will not be for a while. Update on this via
Mike Terry: ``[WOR] WBCQ "Big Tube" a write-off --- Allan Weiner
@AllanWBCQ · 4h Trials and tribulations. Searching for a TH576 tube,
or equivalent, to get the mighty 9330 back on the air. Classic WBCQ
still going strong on 7490/6160/3265 khz. The free speech goes on!!
The big tube went to air while on the air. All burnt up and not
rebuildable. Sad $ 200k loss. (Twitter 5 July 2021)``

Well, isn`t the thing insured or under warranty? Anyhow, out of pocket
of the wacko Egyptian billionaire (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1360, UT Mon July 5 at 0022, I`m tuned to the KiwiSDR in
Philadelphia for the publicized 4th of July special DX test from WNJC,
Washington Twp - of several in NJ, the one near Camden and hence
Philly. I`m hearing a tone at S5-S6; 0023 singing jingle ID ``WNJC
13-60``; Star-Spangled Banner in Jimi Hendrix style, but not quite?
Mixing in a few notes of Taps; then VVV VVV VVV DE WNJC in Morse code
- not CW but tones on AM carrier. WNJC calls repeated over and over, I
lost count after eleven, maybe for a minute; 0028.5 sweep tones
upward.

I had no chance of getting it direct, but wanted to hear and confirm
what was going out. Despite proximity, hardly a local-quality signal,
altho it was dominant on frequency. Night and day coverage maps at
radio-locator.com imply the low-power night pattern axually has a
better lobe into Phila. than the higher-power day pattern. Strangely
enough, 24 hours later, I have seen zero reports of this on the NRC or
IRCA lists; maybe I should tell them that at least I for one heard it,
albeit remotely (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, July 6 at 0117, WTWW-2 with Ted saying he`s about to
play a 4th of July special of patriotic American music, recorded last
night, which failed to air ``because a cow stepped on a cable``. Very
distorted modulation tho and I shan`t listen. The carrier is also
jittering slightly, checked with BFO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, July 6 at 0122, WRNO is AWOL again. Usually was quite
strong lately when active (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5179-USB, July 6 at 0119, 2-way in colloquial Spanish,
one quite strong S7-S9 with ``engine noise``, mentioning quantities of
something measured in ``kilos``; which is nonsensical; kilowatts,
kilojoules, kilogallons, kilograms, kilomiles?? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 24000-27000 kHz, July 6 at 0104-0107, complete bandscan
for anything interesting as sporadic E is bouncing in CB 27+ MHz and
some 28+ MHz beacons. Still no broadcast auxiliaries, but some 2-way:
26315.1-AM, July 6 at 0104, contact maybe offset on 26314.7-AM.
26565.3-AM, July 6 at 0105, very strong signal just as it goes off
26583.4-AM, July 6 at 0106, Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, July 4 at 0638 UT, NDB PN, Ponca City
reconfirmed still on, JBA vs HNL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. The virus of dead Brother Scare is spreading
even worse than during his lifetime. Artie Bigley, OH, reports July 2:
``Glenn, Brother Stair on KXEL 1540 AM now! As of Monday, or so, I'm
now hearing Brother Stair at 2:00 AM CDT on KXEL radio. He is on from
2-3 AM CDT. I've listened to the nighttime talk show that normally
airs at that time but it's now preempted by Brother Stair. Called the
station today and they told me that his organization recently brought
that one-hour time slot and he has been on the station before. I guess
that was over ten years ago. So, his organization must have more money
to burn on airtime on various stations is my point. As you mention on
WOR yesterday he is buying more time on WBCQ these days.
Artie``

I`ve also noted these expansions; where comes from all that money?! BS
ranting is unlistenable by anyone with half a brain, and blasting that
crap over more and more SW frequencies is not going to change that.
How ashamed SW stations must secretly be, allowing themselves to
depend more and more upon him.

4980, July 4 at 0620, WRMI indeed still on with squealy TOMBS. 5800 at
0628 also, S9+10/20 undermodulated. 9955 at 0637 also JBA carrier
presumably same as on new skedgrid overnights. And 9955 definitely
TOMBS at 1605 Sunday July 4, so mid-day has been added. But that`s not
all!:

6159.901, July 4 at 0621, S9+10, WBCQ with TOMBS, this transmitter
also expanded, overnight? Also have a JBA carrier on 3265.147, must be
same as previously measured offset+plus. No 7490 or 9330 tho. WBCQ
program sked still shows no expansion of 6160 nor any 3265 at all!

9265V, July 4 at 0635, JBA S9 = hi local line noise level, must be
WINB, normally never on at this hour, bet it`s TOMBS too! Program sked
not updated since June 6. However, EiBi shows 9265 in DRM at 0700-1100
M-F only, but this is Sunday.

BUT TOM website HAS been updated for July with all this new stuff:

https://overcomerministry.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/OVERCOMER-MINISTRY-RADIO-LOG-2021-Google-Docs.pdf

Including WINB 9265 at 0400-0700 daily; WBCQ 3265 24/7! 6160 24/7
except for the existing Area 51/61 blox. 7490 from 1600 daily but not
overnight. Also lots of time via Bulgaria, WWCR, and of course WRMI,
on 13 frequencies, probably partially via every single transmitter.
Also expansion on AM/FM stations including KXEL at 06-08 UT daily
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
July 3 at 1800:36 on IRRS via Romania 7290, VG via UTwente, and also
on Italia AM, 918 kHz, via nearby Noale SDR steady S9+17, running 3
seconds ahead of 7290 as via two different SDRs. Earlier, 7290 from
1755 tune-in with hum and warble on plus side only; 1759:46 JIP Aida
theme cut on in progress as usual, quick IRRS ID, rather long pause
before WOR start. Timings compared to RWM 9996-CW also via UTwente.

BTW, EI Enid is on 341 kHz, not 342 as I misspoke on WOR 2093.

WOR also confirmed from 1942 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO via nearby SDR.

Also confirmed at NEW time of 2000 Saturday July 3 on WRMI 15770, good
direct at this hour, even tho off the side.

Also confirmed ending at 0341.5 UT Sunday July 4 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM
direct, sufficient but storm noisy; so started early circa 0312. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy
2200vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW
2230 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE [new]

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun July 4 at 0028, WTWW-2 with `TOUTA` almost on
time, including really frantic version of William Tell Overture; take
that, AAAWWW! But by then I`m on the stereo webcast, non-distorted.
Ends right at 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, still AWOL WLCR via WBCQ. Dave Zantow got the reason:
``Alan Weiner via Twitter (July 4, approx. 1330 UT) --- "9330 the
worlds Superstation off the air. The power amplifier tube cracked in
half!!! Never saw that one before. Manufacturing defect we think as
the big PA tubes last up to decades. Searching for a spare now. TH576
made by Thales in France. Very disappointed. Cost new $ 100k." Dave
Zantow N9EWO, Janesville WI, "Dave's Radio Receiver Page"`` (WOR iog)

** U S A. 1360, July 4 at 0345-0355 UT, trying to hear WNJC,
Washington Twp, the one near Camden NJ, via closest KiwiSDRs, in
preparation for July 4th DX test at 00-10 UT, but not getting anything
identifiable via Philadelphia, Central NJ to the north, nor Fair Hill,
Maryland to the south; as I have little hope of getting it direct
despite nightly `DX tests` from 0400 in June and early July. The July
4 special might have been on tonight = UT July 4 but probably really
UT July 5, they did not make explicitly clear (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 92.9, July 4 at 1721 UT, ``Eagle 92.9`` IDs at least thrice,
also mentions iHeart, vs considerable CCI. I`m checking for Es on the
caradio parked in the garage following 90+ MHz MUFs on DXMAPs. This is
the only unusual signal found on 87-98 MHz. WTFDA database shows only
two possibilities:

KTGL 92.9 BEATRICE NE CLASSIC ROCK THE EAGLE 92.9 100.0 kW ERP H&V
247.0 m HAAT 40-31-06 96-46-07 42D3 THE EAGLE Title & Artist Classic
Rock

WEGX 92.9 DILLON SC COUNTRY EAGLE 92.9 100.0 kW ERP H&V 492.9 m HAAT
34-22-04 79-19-21 5FEB TODAY'S COUNTRY WEGX EAGLE 92.9 - Country

Unfortunately did not hear it long enough to tell whether country or
classic rock. Slogan did not start with ``The`` so that leans to SC,
which is also a likely distance for sporadic E, 1049 miles. Beatrice
however might have ``skipped`` in via tropo scatter, 275 miles, too
close for Es.

Such fringe stations mostly in KS & OK are the bane of my FM DXing, as
they can fade in and out completely much like Es. Checking
Radio-locator next, both have iHeart oonnexions, but neither directly
owned, both with streaming via iHeart. It looks like KTGL is less
iHearty, and I am leading toward WEGX as the more likely.

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat July 3 from 1450 tune-in, LRA-36 is
on and audible S5-S6 via Pardinho, Brasil SDR, with music. 1500
contact info; 1508 LRA36 ID, music. 1512 ``AA, LRP`` ID. 1515 ments
Base Esperanza, LRA36 ID; 1520 that SDR stops, so change to Brasília
#2, still music. 1530 ``todo por hoy, nos despedimos`` as if signing
off, Antártida song, but 1534 stays on with more music, now back via
Pardinho; 1545 ID, Antda. song fragment, into historical talk about
year 1910; 1556 back to music; 1602* cut off amid music without
sign-off (Glenn Hauser, oK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 3 from 1355: not much; 13530 JBA
carrier; 13160 JBA; from 1357, 13130 S6-S9 Chinese; 13020 & 12820 &
12795 Chinese. At 1259, 12500 Chinese to TS and 1400*. BUT at 1417 I
still/again have weak Chinese on 12500. Now I can`t find a strong
enough CNR1 to check for // vs possible SOH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165 & 6060 with hum, July 3 at 0625 these two RHC English
are still on, while 6100 & 6000 are off, and 5040 S9+10 still on in
Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 17750, Sat July 3 again checking out the jammed
clandestine broadcast via UTwente from tune-in 1500, at first no jam;
1501 jam cuts on; 1503 jam level jumps stronger, almost covering.
Still listed as follows in Aoki:
17870 1500-1600 F Radio Tigray Media House Tig Issoudun 1-7
17870 1600-1700 F Dimtse Woyane Tigray Int Tig Issoudun 1-7
But there is nothing on 17870 now, nor was there last week.

And in EiBi:
17750 1500-1600 ETH DimtseTigray MediaHouse TIG EAf /F
17750 1600-1700 ETH Dimtse Woyane TIG EAf /F
with no Noise Jammer included! Unlike, FYI:

15340 1700-1800 ETH Dimtse Wegahta Tigray TIG EAf /F
15340 1700-1800 ETH Noise Jammer EAf

11570 0400-0500 ETH Dimtse Woyane TIG EAf /F
11570 0400-0500 ETH Noise Jammer EAf

17750 at 1508 mentions Tigray, telecommunications; 1510 HOA music. At
1605, UTwente hears only jamming, but Kuwait SDR still detects a
carrier under it. At 1659, jamming still runs S5 into UTw, S3 into
Kuwait, but no more carriers. Jam still runs at 1715 vs nothing, and
I`ve had enough with Don Giovanni starting on KUCO.

At 1728 via UTwente on 15340 we`ve noise jamming covering a carrier.

Searching Aoki on Tigray finds another related entry:
15160 1500-1600 F R.Tigray Media House Tig Issoudun 1-7
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 monitoring: confirmed UT Sat
July 3 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10 to Maryland SDR.

Also barely confirmed Sat July 3 circa 1315 the 1300 on WRMI 15770,
JBA but sounds like me.

Also confirmed Sat July 3 after 1600 on WRN N America webcast:

** U S A. As Dr Hansjoerg Biener points out, WRMI has a new skedgrid
dated 1 July. It`s a different URL so bookmarx must be replaced:

4980 has been reactivated after quite a spell without even an exciter
occupying it. Heard S9+10/20 at 0626 July 3 with TOMBS and squeal like
also heard on 5800 earlier. Now 4980 is WRMI-4, shown as nothing but
TOMBS at 0000-1100, 160 degrees. (However, part of that is to be
pre-empted for something else on July 10.)

WRMI-2 is now shown as the only unit with zero hours 24/7, at 222
degrees on 5985. Instead, the 5985 block is now from WRMI-14 at
0330-0600, 181 degrees; same transmitter used for 5010 at all its
times.

WRMI-3, 9955 at 160 degrees is now shown as 24 hours, the previous
gaps 04-10 and 15-21 filled by, what else, TOMBS! Contradixion: on the
System C sked itself of TOMBS, 9955 is NOT shown overnight, and in
daytime at 15-17 on Saturdays only.

Another contradixion: WRMI-9, 15770 on the xmtr grid continues 22-02
UT with TOMBS, but on System C only at 21-22. I expect there are more
anomalies/changes from previous grids (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, UT Sat July 3 at 0200-0300, Texas R SW via WRMI
presents Europirates or lowpowers, this week R. Igloo from Sweden.
Various elder members of a West Coast DX club introduce themselves in
English and play a favorite Swedish tune, all unfamiliar but less so
the final one by ABBA [sorry, I don`t have a backward B]. I also
notice a squeal via the remote, Maryland? I think still in play;
squeal like used to infest WWCR-1 but no more. Not sure if now it`s
real or remote-imposed, but also heard later on 4980 direct (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3265.108v, July 3 after 0000 during `AAAWWW` repeat on 6 &
7, WBCQ on here too with else, presumed TOMBS, and I missed citing the
exact frequency per SAM readout on Maryland SDR. All ``classic`` WBCQ
transmitters must be significantly off-frequency and varying;
depending on roughly-cut crystals?

3265.111v, July 3 at 1613 via Maine SDR, S5, WBCQ is also on now! and
with TOMBS. Running it all day, all night? Ditto 6159.901v at S9. Too
close, 7489.952v is also barely detectable; but no 9330.

The WBCQ website ``program schedule`` is far out of date! 3265 is not
even included; still shows 6160 not starting until *2300 except
Sundays *2200 for WOR & HRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15800, July 2 at 1326, algo JBA in Chinese? Yes, must be
CNR1 jammer, per Aoki, only this and SOH here. Besides a JBA carrier
on 13530, nothing else smacking of WOOB jammers now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13629 approx., July 2 at 1320, weak spurblob with telltale
tone of F#, out of 13700-AM which is S9+10 and undermodulated. Cannot
detect a twin circa 13771. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 9670, July 2 from 2301 tune-in via Maryland SDR, Texas R
Shortwave test for N America via Channel 292 with beam antenna, as
Terry Colgan reminded us was imminent: Fair reception S6-S8, carrier
fluxuating plus/minus 7 Hz; QRM from 9665.157 presumably Brasil. I
also try the Warrenton MO SDR and find it`s JBA. Direct to me, JBA
carrier in S9 high line noise level --- I`ve complained again to
OG&E.

Back to Maryland for rest of hour, soul or blues music by female
performer; can`t understand the lyrix but nice beat and tunes. Also
hard to understand occasional synthom announcements at 2315, 2329,
offering QSL and inviting requests for future programs. Next titles
Down the Road? and Alligator Man? At 2400 to ``This is Radio Channel
292`` and other music continues a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Nearby ND beacon check July 2 at 1323 UT, JBA
in HNL: 515 PN PoNca City; 341 EI EnId; 332 IC wIChita KS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 monitoring: confirmed Friday
July 2 at 2033 the 2030 on IRRS via Italia-AM Villa Estense, 918 kHz,
S9+25 into nearby Noale SDR, but some breakup, hope not on the feed or
transmission. Then check UTwente where also audible across Europe and
not breaking up, but underneath CCI in Castilian from R. Inter, Spain,
20 kW, which was reactivated since WRTH 2021 where it was inactive;
adding up to S9+25. Next:

** U S A. 9330, July 2 at 2020, WBCQ WLCR still AWOL (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), July 3 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`, WTO,
and Allan starts out saying he is ``extremely sexually satisfied``.
Angela pretends? to shush him looking for mute button but there is
none. This sounds familiar; guess they have sex before every show as
warmup. They are so in love! From Deland of Fla where it was 100
degrees.

What`s wrong with Canada? Way behind in vax and opening up. Usual
rants equating Democrats with Communists; beware of flash mobs robbing
CVS --- not today when I was in Enid`s. 0032 datestamp as 28th of May,
YOOL 2021: this is a RERUN! I heard it before but same kind of stuff
every week so I didn`t realize that immediately. So I stop listening.
You may see my and John`s report of then in my log report of May 29
UT. John Carver agrees it`s from May and does not re-report it.

Earlier I had checked if there were any new twits, and yes, from
today, he predicted would be on 7490, 6160 AND 3265, which has been
AWOL for months. Indeed 3265 is audible in Maryland with lots of noise
--- great band for summer! But it`s other programming, probably TOMBS,
but I don`t care enough to seek a parallelish. N.B. Anker Petersen who
in ``tropical`` surveys had 3265 as a goner (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [non]. 7488.871, July 2 at 0200, ``Canada D`Eh`` special by
Uncle Bill and Fred Waterer on WBCQ, a fun show of comedy and tunes; I
listen first on the `7490` webcast but it craps out at 0217 so I
hasten to Area 51 webcast, but it`s some other music! The special was
supposed to be on both 7490 & 6160. Then I bring up the Maryland SDR
to find that 6160 is not even on the air, but it`s getting 7490. A few
minutes later I can go back to the 7490 webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, July 1 at 0546, RHC in Spanish instead of English and
no humbuzz! So that`s what it takes. What else? 6000 & 6165 are good
in English; 6100 is off; and 5040 is also in Spanish. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11462, Thu July 1 at 0550, S9/+10 of open carrier. Looks like
I just missed a spy transmission, per EiBi at 0454-0550 on days 246 =
TueThuSat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13705, July 1 at 1422, no VOA beepery today, unlike the last
biday before 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2092 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu
July 1 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9+10 off the back into Maryland SDR but
with some storm crashes; and a bit of reverb on the modulation, an
effect not usually heard on WOR and certainly not originally.

First broadcasts confirmed UT Friday July 2 at 0130 on WRMIs direct:
7780 S9/+10 and 5850 S9+30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, various chex June 30, July 1 at 1420 & 1707 and early
UT July 2 at 0128 find no signals from WBCQ SuperStation. Wonder
what`s wrong now? Meanwhile, Benn Kobb has unearthed some buried but
public documents from the FCC website about the delay in approving
WBCQ purchase of WHRI; Allan`s sister Barbara objects, saying he is
``fronting`` for that Egyptian billionaire behind World`s Last Chance
Radio, who of course could not own US radio stations outright. His
name is redacted but obviously Galal P. Doss (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15745-USB, July 1 at 1608, rough tone transmission with
multiple carrier peaks, a different sound than usual from the lower
half of the WINB hybrid DRM on ``15750``. Maybe that means it is just
idling rather than crypto stocktrading info. Off by 1706 check (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, July 1 at 0611, no signal from R Vanuatu, nor was
any detectable a few minutes before 0559 on 7260. Ron Howard agrees:

``Radio Vanuatu. Recently had been silent for about three days, then
back on for a few days, but checking July 1, from 0530+ UT, till past
0845, on all the normal RV frequencies, found them clearly off the air
today. Cuba (5040) went off at 0659*. RV certainly has been erratic
recently, with technical difficulties? Ron California`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
