** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2101 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
August 28 from 1800:33 on IRRS SW via Italia AM, 918 kHz, VG S9+22
into nearby Noale SDR. As usual, playing `Aïda` march theme from
before 1759, quick ID and then WOR --- BUT simulmonitoring 7290 via
UTwente, NO IRRS SIGNAL from Bulgaria at start nor past 1830, just
that weak Chinese before 1800, its ToH timesignal, and a few more
minutes, vs RTTY warbling on the plus side. I let 7290 run the entire
semihour in case it cut on; there were one or two blips which might
have been attempts, or more likely, QRM.

** U S A. 12160, Sat Aug 28 at 1728, the last minutes of scratchy
lo-fi ancient record or cylinder music, no closing announcement, just
quick WWCR ID and intro a Nashville gospel huxter. `The Talking
Machine Show`, misnamed as most of the old recordings are music, not
talk! scheduled 1700 UT Saturdays. I search the latest, Aug 1, WWCR
skedgrids and do not find *any* other time for it now! Used to fill
several slots, and I do mean fill, subject to time being sold off.
Perhaps the only WWCR program worth listening to, certainly the only
one itself produces, i.e. by engineer Phil Patton. 12160 at midday
here one megameter away usually provides a VG signal, like today
S9+10/20.

There also used to be another similar show but can`t remember the name
and don`t see any sign of it on sked either, tsk2. O, maybe this be
it, from Alan Roe`s latest, July, Music Programmes on Shortwave ---

affiliate list shows three others: KBND in Oregon, but it`s direxional
west into Pacific at night; KAOI in Hawaii, ND but doesn`t start until

are S9+10/20 here but not unnoisy. Starts with a bit of YROT theme,
Second Mate Susan ID, Cap`n Ric introducing RDI. Starts with RDI`s
very own theme song with Dutch lyrix including kilohertz. 0204
greeting from Andy in Switzerland, and someone else, presumably
listeners rather than Deltans. 0213 QSL address as

music, and scenery, but still hard to spot the token females in the
orchestra (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Fri Aug 27 at 2355 checking all WBCQs via Maryland remote:
3265 is on and poorly audible with gospel huxter, seems // 7490. 4790
with TOMBS. 6160 with Area 51, Amos `n` Andy? 9330 with WLCR. Then I
axually listen to `AAAWWW` on 7490 webcast, where already at 2359,
Allan does not realize his mike is open as he exclaims about some tone
we`re hearing, as FKB gospel huxter is wrapping, and as they are
setting up for the live show to follow. As soon as that`s underway, UT
Sat Aug 28 at 0000 with WTO theme I recheck all the lower 4 SW
frequencies and indeed they have united.

Cold wave has hit Maine, from 88 F yesterday, it`s 58 today.
Complaining about all broadcasting on the way out, everything to The
Cloud; complaining about ``gendering``, people objecting to being
classified as male or female. Angela reminds us that she is convinced
Trump is really still president. WBCQ has enemies who don`t like WLCR
or TOMBS, but they ``will be crushed``.

0026 says new tube is in -- or rather, on the way; hope to get the
SuperStition back on at full 500 kW ``within days``. 0028 call from
Annoying Freddie in Massachusetts, about drinking on the air. It seems
Angela has a small? bottle of wine, and they attempt a toast over the
phone. Quadricasting tonight. The SS transmitter is a Continental
420D, right? What about the warranty on the tube? he asks. But C`l do
not make that component. Allan says they are ``working on it``, the
warranty issue. How much does it cost, $ 100K? Much more than that,
like for a house. $ 200K? Even more than that, but will not say how
much now.

Datestamp: 27th of August, YOOLF 2021. 0035 caller from Durango,
Colorado with reception report, 7490 poor but best as to be expected.
0037 call from Jason in Nova Scotia, implying he will visit in person?
Someone sent quotation from Thomas Paine, about ``trying men`s souls``
and how that may apply to current events. TANSTAAFL. 0045 Jason calls
back to greet Angela after she complained about being ignored.

``We have enemies who don`t like Worlds Last Chance or Brother Stair
--- very sick and deranged people``. He seems to think they are behind
the FCC/WHRI SNAFU. 0048 Tim in Connecticut thankfully briefly, and as
someone pointed out always happens, the stream craps out at 0053. I
get it started again. 0055 to read email, nothing significant. 0059
prayer, that the Lord must have a great sense of humor, and ``please
cleanse this world of virus``, etc. [? why didn`t He stop it in the
first place??], 0101 joins Hal Turner a minute late as usual. Here`s
John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's AAWWW --- Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160 and
7490. Allan and Angela in the studio. Allan is taking about Angela
being naked in the studio. Also complaining about the temperature as
it's now 58 degrees at the station. Then talk of people wanting to do
away with TV and radio and put everything on the cloud. Then talk
about the war concerning gender talk. Was also announced that the new
tube for the superstation is on its way to Maine. Phone call at 0027
from Freddie who is off the phone in a short time. Phone call at 0035
with a reception report from an old listener. Phone call at 0037 from
a listener asking about the other frequencies they're using tonight.
Allan then reads something that was sent to the station last week by a
listener and written by Thomas Paine. Phone call at 0048 from Tim who
manages to turn a pleasant non political show political as usual.
Finally off the phone Tim calls back immediately to make a point and
then off the phone again. Reading of emails at 0056 and closing prayer
at 0059. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

First broadcasts confirmed, UT Fri Aug 27 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG
S9+10/20 direct, S9+30 to MO SDR; 7780 S9/+10 direct but sounds much
weaker, S9+5/15 to UTwente SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1590, Aug 27 at 0630 UT, S9+10 of dead air atop other

off-frequency elsewhere too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13760, Aug 26 at 0338, pop music in English, gospel?
Soon starts plugging the Bible, S7-S9. MWV is scheduled here. They
have two totally different English programs, ``African Pathways
Radio`` and `relay` of KNLS New Life Station, Alaska. WRTH does not
specify which hours are which! Nor does Aoki. EiBi shows APR for this,
but also for the other 3 English broadcasts, no KNLS! HFCC shows 13760
is aimed 40 degrees for Asian CIRAFs, so that makes it NLS, not APR.
BTW, VOK also scheduled to start all-day usage of 13760 from 0300, and
whenever heard, not now, it`s been off-frequency about 13760.2. Did
not notice any offfrequenciness for this MWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO 2100 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu Aug 26 at 0140 the
0130 on WRMI 5010, S9/+10 direct but vs high storm noise level. At
0152 via Bonaire SDR, VG S9/+15. WOR 2101 should be ready to start UT
Fri Aug 27 at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980 & 4975 & 5800, Aug 26 at 0607, WRMIs 4 & 10 are OFF,
two fewer frequencies for TOMBS. All other scheduled WRMI remain on
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9385, Aug 26 at 0613, no signal from WEWN English; also
missing a few hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4780v, Aug 26 at 0208, while checking the Progreso spur
circa 4783, via Bonaire SDR, I also detect a JBA carrier here, not a
known currently active SWBC frequency. Of course first comes to mind
DJIBOUTI, could it be reactivated? But old sign-on time was 0300. DBS
of April 2016 showed it last heard in Feb 2015. Last log of it I can
find was presumed by Harold Frodge, MI, MARE in the 21 and 22 UT hours
of December 2014.

4780 does not compute as a MW harmonic of any `even` frequency. We
recall that the 2020 WRTH, not 2021, listed some Future Plans in PERU,
including 4780: OAW7I, Calle Monjaspata 745, 08001 Cusco; no further
info and apparently never appeared, until now??

The carrier is somewhat unstable; could be a ute, but I think more
likely it`s a minus 10 kHz spur out of 4790 WBCQ. Bonaire SAM shows
carrier offset of +125/140 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10080, Aug 26 at 0605, JBA carrier as I am checking for
R. Vanuatu, 2 x 5040. Fundamental however is totally blocked by RHC at
S9+10, on air later than usual. However2, others report Vanuatu was
absent this date from 5040 or any other frequency. So probably another
RHC harmonic, where I`ve never logged it before for sure (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15770, Aug 26 at 0339, JBA carrier. Could it be WRMI-9
which supposedly runs 1100-0200 only? Yet per HFCC it`s registered
available 24 hours. Nothing else ever on frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
