** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed July 7 at 1510 tune-in, LRA36 is underway, VP S1-S2 into Brasília #2 SDR, but much better S5-S8 into Pardinho SP, where from 1512 I camp upon someone already exactly tuned to it in McMinnville, Oregon. Tango in progress; same canned ID at every break between tunes, 1515, 1519, 1522, the ``Nacional Antártida Argentina -- la Radio Pública`` one. 1526 YL closing announcement credits Ministerio de Defensa, so this Base is hardly civilian; also acknowledges all the other LRAs around Argentina allegedly relaying. Do they pick it up off this SW frequency or cheat via satellite or web? Then OM s/off, and 1527-1531* Antártida song. No more mod, but back to Bsla #2 SDR off-tuned to 15475.0-USB, I can tell the reduced carrier stays on, JBA fading in and out making tone just less than 1000 Hz, and *still* on when SDR times out after 60 minutes at 1632, and I`ve had more than enough. Maybe they leave it on to keep the room warmer? Or electrical fluid is cheap? Hardly, nor maybe the Diesel to generate it. Often after ``s/off`` they continue with more programming but not today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. CNR1 WOOB jammer survey July 7 at 1346: 13130 Chinese S2-S5; 13020 JBA; 12880 Chinese S2-S5; 12795 Chinese S3-S6; 12500 JBA carrier; 13530 JBA. I continue to be amazed that certain reporters keep claiming they are hearing Sound of Hope, blissfully ignorant of the much more likely jammers; and editors don`t correct/challenge (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. During Es opening hour July 7 at 17-18 UT, on caradio, see USA, I have to contend with nearby spoilers fading in and out, but FWIW some log info on them: 99.5, July 7 at 1726, ``Big Country 99.5`` = KXBL Henryetta. 99.3, July 7 at 1727 ``radio special`` food ad; probably 3 kW KLOR-FM Ponca City. 97.5, July 7 at 1732, sex counseling ad, ziprecruiter.com/radio; 1734 about recount so AZ maybe? but sports news mentions OU [why isn`t it UO = University of Oklahoma?]; 1735 possibly different station, rather clear ID as KFOD, but nonesuch even fuzzily rhyming, nor as AM call translated to FM; must have been merely KMOD Tulsa, tho not sports format. 104.5, July 7 at 1740, song with audio cutting out. Must be KZZW Mooreland = Woodward ``market`` if you can call such small towns that. No one at station paying attention? Woodward-Mooreland has a lot of FM stations for its size, due to isolation: 16 of them, 10 of which are full-power. 2010 population of Woodward was 12K; entire county was only 20K. It`s 136 km = 85 miles from the nearest metropolis, Enid with more than 4X the population; but 12 FM stations, only 4 of which are full power and one of those, 96.9 really funxions as an OKC station (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7730, July 7 at 0538 UT, WRMI with trace of JBM on S9+20/30 signal while TOMBS is blasting in on 7570, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 monitoring: did anyone hear the Wed 1030 on WRMI 5850? Confirmed Wed July 7 at 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490 minus 83 Hz per Maryland SDR = 7489.917, S7-S9. But NOT confirmed at same time on WRMI 7780 which is NOT on the air! Still off circa 2340; Okeechobee did not seem to be too close to the Elsa storm track. Next, and last: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html 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. New WOR 2094 should be ready for download by early UT July 9 and first SW airings Friday at 0130 on WRMI 5850 & if on air then, 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5010, July 7 at 1116, JBA here and not 5015, presume WRMI back on non-wrong frequency, as reported by Ivo 23 hours before. Still no reply from Jeff about this; usually when he does not reply to a direct inquiry it means there is something negative he would rather not discuss (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also SOUTH CAROLINA [non] ** U S A. 15825, July 7 at 1351, WWCR-1 is Just Barely Modulated, or to be charitable, very undermodulated. I have no way of quantifying such judgments. Have to turn volume way up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Sporadic E patch MUF 94 MHz over New Mexico, so looks promising for westward DX; on caradio in garage I start at 1707 UT July 7: 87.75, July 7 at 1707, first thing tuned is Spanish! Slightly better on 87.7 than 87.9; likely a FrankenFM, which will have to drop dead on July 13 when everything has to be DTV, with a few exceptions such as remote Alaska. Two women conversing, first about TicToc; 1712 about Puerto de Veracruz, so could it be a lingering full-power analog Mexican TV channel 6? Probably not: is religious plugging a `conexión de verano con Jesús`` el 11 de julio; 1715 fading in and out. Mentions guadaluperadio.com and program is `Mujeres de Fe`. Then I`m scanning upband; by 1728, 87.7 is fading, gone by 1737 and not much more in the next semihour. Uplooked later in the WTFDA FM Database, only hitfit is: ``KSFV-LP 87.7 SAN FERNANDO VALLEY CA Spanish RELIGIOUS GUADALUPE RADIO 3.0 kW horiz. only, 0.0 meters HAAT! 34-12-46 118-03-42 A41F`` 1876 km = 1166 st mi city to city per distancefromto.net 94.1, July 7 at 1710, something in English trying to get past 94.3. 93.1, July 7 at 1717 CCI to KS in English, 1718 MontsterMedia.com of Yuma = https://www.monstermediayuma.com/ so it is no doubt: ``KLJZ 93.1 YUMA AZ HOT AC Z-93 TODAY'S BEST MUSIC 100.0 kW H&V only 25.0m HAAT 32-39-06 114-39-04 2E0F`` 1584 km = 984 statute miles. Also ads for casino, summer splash at San Luis AZ; CCI: 93.1, July 7 at 1720, ``93-1 The Mountain, Valley traffic`` on Las Vegas Blvd. I bet it`s the one in NV: ``KYMT 93.1 LAS VEGAS NV HD ROCK 93.1 THE MOUNTAIN 23.5 kW H&V 1183.0 m HAAT 35-57-55 115-30-00 18CF 93-1 The Mountain World Class Rock Adult Hits`` 1545 km = 960 stmi. Site is SW of LV closer to the CA border where there are a couple of mountains higher than that. 97.3, July 7 at 1722 strong briefly, national ads getroman.com, GEICO, get a 97.3 app, 1725 sports talk about CBS, probably this: ``KWFN 97.3 SAN DIEGO CA HD SPORTS 97.3 THE FAN 50.0 kW H&V 134.0 m HAAT 32-43-13 117-04-14 4AA7 97.3 The Fan The FAN, San Diego's Only FM Sports Station Sports`` It also has a bunch of co-channel boosters under 100 watts elsewhere in southern California. SD = 1810 km 1024 mi 99.5, July 7 at 1753, ``Real Country`` slogan. No exact hits on that in WTFDA but Google search on slogan and MHz leads to KXPL Las Cruces NM whose main brand is Zia Country; but that`s a bit too close, 934 km = 580 stmi; and to KHAZ Hays KS, more likely fringe scatter signal, 304 km = 189 stmi. Some others seem Okie spoilers, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2356 UT July 7

** CHINA. 13640, July 6 at 2210 talk in Japanese, S1-S6, but not NHK: soon ID as ``Kochirawa Pekin Hoso`` = CRI via Jinhua 831 site more or less USward far beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, July 6 at 0620, RHC English with big humbuzz atop English; 6100 undermodulated; 6165, 6000, 5040 all off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140 & 11760, July 6 at 1421, no signals from these RHCs; 9710 music poor, and 9535 JBA carrier, at least on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, July 6 at 1500, ``Kashmir Civitas`` ID in passing shortly after opening in presumed Urdu via Romania; another weekly Tuesday clandestine, S9+15 into UTwente. BTW, Civitas is pronounced Sivitas, not Kivitas as in klassical Latin; but what has any Latin to do with this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15770, July 7 at 0138, indeed this WRMI on extended hours, poor but // 7570 with TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 3215, July 7 at 0251, WWCR-1 at S9+10/20 of dead air from dead Stair; 0317 in storm noise level I think I detect a trace of JBM. 3265.1+ meanwhile, TOMBS via WBCQ circa 0300 is a JBA off-frequency carrier, fortunately totally unusable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 monitoring: just missed confirming new WRMI time, July 6 Tuesday 1330 on 15770, remembering it at 1400. Did anyone hear it? Next: 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html 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. 9955, Tue July 6 at 2218, WRMI with Radio Emma Toc, World Service, that strange quasi-DX programme monthly from Britain; bits about R. Caroline, and Good Morning Vietnam. Show is going on hiatus for a while after this one, he says (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5010, July 7 at 0139, WRMI-14 poor here in noise, not 5015, altho Ivo Ivanov found it on ``wrong`` 5015 in the July 6 morning at 1210 & 1230 via Boca Ratón SDR. Must check that July 7 in the 11-14 UT span. Have asked Jeff about it but no reply yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also SOUTH CAROLINA [non] ** U S A. 4980, July 7 at 0140, WRMI-4 with squeal on USB not LSB of my R75, but is it transmitted or receiver artifact? Recheck at 0357 on Key West SDR, no squeal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, July 7 at 0142, WRNO is back on after missing last night; whew (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5830, July 7 at 0144, WTWW-1 carrier is cutting on and off the air about once per second but not exactly, making the PPPP modulation unusable, tsk2. Still so past 0200+; hey Ted, haven`t you noticed something`s slightly wrong? Don`t you even listen raptly to your benefactor? Recheck at 0219, now carrier stays on. 5085 meanwhile, WTWW-2, July 7 at 0145, carrier still jittery but nowhere near as bad as 5830; yet obviously defective (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

Here`s the report I have posted, and a QSL would be appreciated tho it was hardly DX as heard via Philadelphia:`` [as previously] ``Re: WNJC 4th DX test Jul 6 at 3:40 PM From: John "Duke" Hamann <duxpond.kc2dux@gmail.com> To: Glenn Hauser <wghauser@yahoo.com> So far you are the only report I have received. I am actually away from the local area (in Maine myself) and was unable to copy it. I think conditions haven't been ideal for DX unfortunately. If the station is still around in the fall, hopefully there will be an October event with a finale on Halloween. Duke, kc2dux`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 106.5, July 6 at 1753 UT, Radio Lobo ID in Spanish, following ``Jambalaya`` song in English! On caradio near artesian well NNW of Enid circa Great Salt Plains. It`s KYQQ, 100 kW in Arkánsas City KS, not an obvious SS area, but suspect rimshotting into Wichita. Inside Enid obscured by local on 106.3. AM bandscanning out of the question with heavy storm noise, must be from KS not bright and clear OK. At least can tell no local 530 or 1610 TIS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0425 UT July 7

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.

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.

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.

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) This report despatched at 0442 UT July 6

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST UPDATE July 3

Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe, Teddington, UK ** 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.

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.

Mostly the highest MUF patches are a little too close or a little too far to have any DX effect to here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 1952 UT July 4

** 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.

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: http://shoutcast.wrn.org:8025/NAMAAP New WRMI skedgrid shows a surprise new time for WOR: Sat 2000 on 15770, always 44 degrees toward NE best for ENAm and Eu, not OK! 1801 UT Saturday IRRS 7290-Bulgaria to WNW, 918-Italy 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2000 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE {NEW] 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0400] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy 2200vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE [new] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE 1330 UT Tuesday WRMI 15770 to NE [NEW] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html 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. As Dr Hansjoerg Biener points out, WRMI has a new skedgrid dated 1 July. It`s a different URL so bookmarx must be replaced: WRMI A21 Schedule as of July 1 - Google Sheets https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Hra1coQGQAKDzn8QGeAqPuXbvFsn7umGzESGJQUx5k/edit#gid=0 OR: https://tinyurl.com/unsb6zp5 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) This report dispatched at 1749 UT July 3
