** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey in full continuous bandscan down from 19
to 10 MHz, Aug 24 from 2331 to 2340: 16160 JBA fluttery carrier vs
CODAR; 16100 same; 15970 slightly stronger JBA; 15760 Chinese S0/S2;
15360 Chinese? S2/S4; 14920 S2/S3 flutter, 13130 JBA carrier. All of
these correlate with jammers against Sound of Hope, in Aoki/NDXC.

15600, Aug 24 at 2334, S0/S2 music with flutter during CNR1 jammer
survey. This one is CRI in ``Portuguese`` via Beijing site, so should
match Cuban relay on 13650 music-only with much better signal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21690, Aug 24 at 1546, JBA via RSA remote, RFI hour in
Swahili, which for S-21, from Sept 5, is moving on up to 25775. Should
be a useful MUF pilot even off the back to NAm, 500 kW more than a
Danish experiment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Griffin Communications will flip News/Talk “TalkRadio 1170” KFAQ Tulsa
to Sports “The Blitz” on Monday, August 23. The new format will be led
by Jeremie ‘Pop’ Poplin, who has served as Program Director and
10am-12pm host on KFAQ since February 2020. Poplin previously
programmed and hosted afternoons at iHeartMedia Sports “1430 The Buzz”
KTBZ and “1300 The Buzz” KAKC Tulsa. Poplin tweeted that the Blitz
will feature local programming from 6am to 6pm, but has not disclosed
what that will entail. KFAQ will continue to serve as the Tulsa
affiliate for Oklahoma State University sports and Jenks High School
football. The “Blitz” name comes from the weekly “Oklahoma Sports
Blitz” that airs on Griffin’s CBS television affiliates KWTV Oklahoma
City and KOTV Tulsa on Sunday evenings. [….]``

So will 1300 and/or 1430 be flipping away from stupid ballgames? KFAQ
is still running IBOC noise vs KSL 1160 and whatever on 1180. Maybe
will still be `C2CAM` overnight? Glenn, Enid

Re: [WOR] KFAQ 1170 Tulsa flipping from talk to sports
Aug 24 at 0626 UT, I am still hearing `C2CAM` on KFAQ. 0633 joint ID

Aug 24 at 1520 UT, woman talking about Olympix history, sports or not?
No, 1525 that`s on syndicated show, `Our American Stories`, then
``Talk Radio 1170`` ID and local ads, referring to
http://www.talkradio1170.com/
which is still very much alive with listen link. Cursorily I don`t see
anything about a format change there. Next topic after 1532 is Cuban
revolution. Odd time for `OAS`, usually appearing as overnight filler.
Own schedule has it but not at this time:

http://www.talkradio1170.com/story/5fad99bf8b141111c23d0b53/weekdays-line-up
so evidently filling in for whatever. Still in transition? In fact as
the RI story says, Pop Poplin himself is supposed to be on already
during this bihour per the sked (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1210 kHz, Aug 24 at 0635 UT, S9/+10 from KGYN Guymon,
apparently as often, not on night pattern protecting Philadelphia:

** CUBA. 4747 & 4783 approx., Aug 24 at 0035, scratchy matching spurs
17/18 kHz both sides of 4765, R. Progreso; barely audible vs storm
noise level, lower one also QRMing CODAR. An undated item in disgraced
FB via SW Bulletin refers to RP being off the air ``this evening`` for
maintenance. Maybe that was UT Aug 11 when I found 4765 missing as
were the spurs. But now it`s clear they did not fix them and may well
not even know about them. Stations do not read my monitoring at their
own risks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Aug 23 at 2201, REE is *still* diffusing dead air on

erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.9v, UT Sun Aug 22 at 0048 check, WBCQ playing music
instead of repeating `AAAWWW` rant about FCC, WHRI purchase kaput.
Program guide still does show AAAWWW during this hour. It`s never

Pot
7490 Mo 2330 0000 UTC Mo 07:30PM 08:00PM EST Camp Constitution

Well, it can`t be both at 2330-0000, can it? In fact, UBMP always
plays only the first 30 minutes, for many months. As a `filler`, Uncle
Bill does not want to publicize it. Also all the times are mislabeled
EST instead of EDT: they are NOT the same, rather one hour difference.

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Aug 21 at 0000-0100, WBCQ webcast of
`Allan and Angela Wiener WorldWide`. After WTO theme, mandatory
fiddling with mics, does Angela`s work? [I dispense with all the
quotation marks; some of this is paraphrased, but accurate; gh`s own
remarx in these brackets.]

Console is screwing up. Something wrong with the 6160 audio amp. It`s
hot and humid, 80s and 90s [presumably in Maine, not Florida]. Been a
rough week. It`s 20th of August, YOOLF 2021 for this original live
broadcast. Complaining about masking. 0017, COVID restrixions prevent
maintenance workers coming in from other countries. 0022, annoying Tim
calls in, voted for Trump four times including primaries. [Quickly get
rid of Tim.] Angela does not believe anything she hears, reads or
sees. 0025, quadri-casting on 3265, 4790, 6160, 7490 [confirmed on
quick check of Maine SDR, VG on the bottom two, VP on the top two,
skipping over].

0029, SuperStition update: still on backup low-power transmitter.
$ 200K replacement PA tube is to be shipped [from Europe?] on August
31. Hope to get back on air early Sept with techs from Continental and
own staff working on it.

[Most of rest of show ranting about the WHRI purchase attempt:] Heard
a year ago from Hans [Johnson, founder of Jihad-DX], that it was for
sale; WBCQ offered opportunity to buy it. Got financing together with
borrowed money, to save the SC SW station from scrap. Purchase and
sales agreements made, application filed with FCC for licensing, not
the assets. Filing fee about $ 1000. Normally takes 6-8 weeks to go
thru for domestic purchases. This was in August 2020 --- and then we
waited and waited and waited, etc. There was the usual 30-day period
for any comments and objexions to be filed: there were none.

Finally in APRIL 2021, got a phone call from someone at FCC
apologizing for the delay, said they were sending some paperwork to
WBCQ`s attorneys. WBCQ has always been upfront with its listeners,
Allan claims: [brief mute]; In the mail, got an *informal* objexion
which was filed Oct 15, *two weeks after* the filing window for those:
should have been trashed. And WBCQ did not get it for 6 months! It`s
absurd, defamatory. AW replied, waited, groveled, by phone, email,
appealed via Sen. Collins, begged.

Finally on August 10, 2021, one year from the original application, it
*expired* because Family Broadcasting decided they had had enough and
would not renew the matter. AW does not blame them for that. WBCQ does
not *need* WHRI, but was trying to save one major SW station. AW says
his constitutional rights were violated, his good name besmirched. FCC
treatment was reprehensible. Angela interjects: ``Watch who you vote
for, idiots in power!`` [Right: this all started under TRUMP, don`t
you realize?] We`re not in it for the money, hoped merely to break
even like at WBCQ. FCC purposely delayed and delayed and delayed this.
AW is really angry. We don`t need the extra headache of WHRI, but
wanted to save what would have been WBCQ transmitters 7, 8 and 9.

This is not over. Maybe a petition? Listeners should file complaints
about this matter with their congressmen, with FCC itself. WBCQ has
been wronged, censored, bollixed up. Further legal remedies are not
being divulged. Angela warns, ``They`re coming for you, next.``

0052 [a few items from just published Free Radio Weekly. Allan again
refers to ``single sideband television`` instead of slow-scan TV].
E-mailer advises that the WBCQ webcast drops off at :53 past every
hour: [just did it for me too!] Will continue to fight. 0059 prayer,
A&A agree, ``We`ve got the biggest balls of them all``, into Hal
Turner.

Can anyone dig out of FCC files the notorious informal objexion? Who
made it and what did they say? You may want to listen to this AAAWWW
yourself. Scheduled repeats all on 7490 from 0030 UT Sunday, 2230
Monday, 2130 Tuesday, 2230 Wednesday.

Larry Will`s version: ``8/21, 0000, 7490am, WBCQ. Typical Angela and
Allan Weiner broadcast starting with animated discussions of vaccine
conspiracy theories, whining about McDonald's not serving breakfast
all day because of Covid, a few Covid deaths don't matter when
millions of babies are aborted every year, etc. "Tim from Connecticut"
calls with some more unhinged commentary; he'll never take the
vaccine, ever.

Then they start talking about the proposed WHRI purchase. At 38: Allan
says that the original purchase agreement with WHRI expired on August
10 and was not renewed, so the deal is off! The rest of the broadcast
was spent on railing against the insidious delaying tactics employed
by the FCC who knew that if they just kept delaying, then the deal was
likely doomed. Of course, Angela implies that it's the fault of the
Biden administration. Larry Will, Mount Airy, Maryland``

John Carver`s version ``Tonight's AAWWW show started on time on 4790,
6160 and 7490. Allan in the studio with Angela. Very brief talk about
a movie then Allan had to tell us once again how beautiful Angela is.
Very hot in Maine this week with high humidity and temps in the
eighties and nineties. As is usual anymore, some equipment problems in
the studio. Longish talk about Covid with Angela getting a little
loud. Phone call at 0020 from Tim again who riles up the Covid talk
and vaccine talk. Angela goes into a mini rant.

Allan says they should have the replacement tube for the superstation
by the end of the month and hopefully have the transmitter up and
running early in the next month.

Then he finally talked in depth about the sale of WHRI. Explained
about all the hoops they had to jump through and all the delays.
Holdup was because a complaint about the sale that was filed after the
due date and shouldn't have caused a problem. It was announced earlier
this month that the seller was tired of waiting for the sale to be
approved and has backed out of the deal and cancelled the sale.

I'm very sorry as at this time one of my granddaughters with some of
