** AUSTRALIA. 11900, Aug 31 at 1354, south Asian music and then talk
by YL in unrecognizable language; S7-S9, outstanding SSOB except for
the Cubans and nons. 1359-1400*, Reach Beyond, Australia, sign-off in
English sounding more `merican than `strine, not Ecuadorian. Now to
figure out language: Day 2 = Monday at 1345-1400 Aoki/NDXC shows it is
Cha; EiBi shows CHG --- I guess they both refer to Chhattisgarhi as in
WRTH 2020 but now outdated B-19 sked had no such DOW, TOD, nor
frequency for it.

But the revised A-20 update as of May 26 confirms it. Now, where and
how many Chhattisgarhi speakers are there? EiBi`s readme.txt shows:
``CHG Chhattisgarhi: India-Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Bihar (13m) [hne]``
So there we have three different abbrs. for this obscure language but
spoken by more than the population of e.g. Illinois, who must be
Christianized!

11825, but wait, there`s more: Mon Aug 31 at 1449, gospel huxter in
English also bigsig S7-S9. While E Asian signals like CNR1 jammers are
JBA carriers. This is RBA daily at 1430-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 7850-USB, Aug 31 at 0610, CHU is weak, but even
weaker is CCI from 2-way USB almost same frequency, maybe Brazilian or
Spanish. Not first time such intrusion has been detected (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 31 at 1355-1359: none audible in the

on TWR Boa Vista just as I am mentioning its absence on WOR.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145 & 6100, UT Mon Aug 31 at 0616, RHC `DXers Unlimited`,
Arnie`s prop info seems a bit dated, then outro as the mit-week
edition, so despite `Ed Newman` then pointing out that there are two
per week, must have been playing the wrong/old one, and 0619 into his
`Mailbag`. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But the two last
frequencies on air this late both enjoy good modulation (Glenn Hauser,

what`s on it after SW turns off: news all about Israel, Gaza, i.e.

on WRN web/satcast. But by 0450 or so, wild world music with WRMI ID
by BB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Dear friend! We have just been informed that the program scheduled for
today unfortunately not broadcast due to a severe storm, so a new date
is planned for it. Pity! LG from rainy Buenos Aires and have a nice
weekend! Rayén Braun - German editorial team`` --- what`s LG?

At 2150 I recheck Brasil remote, just in case it came on in time for
English, but nothing. Some hours later I consult Accuweather for
conditions at Esperanza: ``Current Weather 9:05 PM: -31°C, RealFeel®
-60°, Air Quality Fair, Wind SW 87 km/h, Wind Gusts 120 km/h, Cloudy``
--- that is certainly extreme, but the people and the equipment are
stuck there anyway, so why not broadcast? Was there damage to rhombic

they know at Rodeador Park site, or don`t they care? Hardly the only
SW station which keeps transmitting despite severe defects, reflecting
very poorly on the station and the nation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, Aug 29 at 2342, RHC in Spanish // 11760. Checking
since Rick Barton, AZ, heard English on 11670, Aug 23 at 2320. That
hour is supposed to be on 7385 and 5040. I do hear it poorly vs HSNL
on 5040, but only a JBA carrier on 7385, surely something else,
probably TIBET tho WHRI is also registered. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EUROPE. Free Radio Service Holland: S8-S9 but noisy on both
5789.910v and 7700.136v via UTwente at 1755 rock music, 1757 as 200th

Supposed to be running until 2100. Is site really in Netherlands?
Plenty of private stations are now licensed, but this remains pirate?

where it was OK too – but not as good as Ireland/UK. Twente is far too

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sun Aug 30 at 0000, The Mighty KBC via
Nauen, GERMANY, is opening at only S5-S7. Kraig Krist now confirms
that from next week, the Sunday-only 0000-0200 broadcast will revert
to 5960. I check that now and hear nothing, tho CNR 100 kW ND from
Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of ChiCom persecution of Uyghurs, is
still in HFCC from 2330 until 1800, and presumably still
off-frequency-minus, a CCI problem further east, especially circa
Europe, but KBC won`t move (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

would be 13580 also Oman, which goes out at 10 degrees and much
weaker; and 9915 via Madagascar, which I was trying before 0430 but
not as good on remotes altho it should be the only possibility
directly into North America if checked. The co-hosts say they are a
Canadian Lesbian married couple, also bi-cultural obviously from their
names. Their two other foreign guests this week are from India and
Mexico, as they satirize current news; fun show, and can be found on

after hamstuff, anonymous theatre organ music show from Bob Heil in
Belleville IL. Yes, he never mentions any program name, so I still
call it `Theatre Organ [NOT] in the Ozarx`. or TONITO. Most of this
show is ``virtual`` performance by Len Larsen(sp?) who sent some kind
of memory card which Bob inserts into his own organ to run it, pulling
stops, etc., but without keys going up and down. LL had previously
sampled the best thorgans around the country for each simulated

Nina Jankowicz (Wilson Center): "Imagine leading a media organization

being forced to return to dangerous environments because USAGM won't
renew their visas. They will be at risk because they've done critical,
truthful reporting while at VOA. These people have USG security

** U S A. 6159.9v, Aug 28 at 2347, S8-S9 but noisy, WBCQ `Old Tyme
Radio` is opening an episode of `Amos `n` Andy` as re-produced by Ed
Bolton; a little late if to finish by hourtop? But it does, now
listening to Area 51/61 webcast, 2357 organ theme and outro. 0000 Aug
29 into `Crusader Rabbit` instead of `AAAWWW`, which has already
started WTO theme and interjexions on 7490 webcast. Allan soon plugs
OTR show but says he is now on 6160; random conversation with Angela,
including benefits of vertical antenna to reduce
horizontally-polarized noise. 0023 false-start to politix he always
says he doesn`t want to get into on show, is quadri-casting on 3265,
5130, 6160, 7490. Angela is wearing soft, sexy, pants he hasn`t seen
her in before.

0026 I check Rochester SDRs and indeed AAAWWW is heard on 6160 and the
others; but still NOT on the A51/61 webcast; at 0027 it exclaims, ``Dr
Becker`s Magic Mushrooms on the Lumpy Gravy Show``. Back on AAAWWW,
0032 confirms date as 28 August YOOL 2020; then A&A really get into
politix: hypocrisy, ``deep state`` conspiracy nonsense; they can`t
comprehend how anyone could vote for Biden instead of Trump, thus
ending freedom and everything in America. (Me, if I had to choose
lesser of evils, it would be Socialism instead of Trump`s Fascism; in
fact Democratic Socialism is not evil at all but successful in much of
N/W Europe; but the populace needs to be unselfish, a tough call for
Americans, and a Canadian.) Reads long anti-Democratic screed e-mailed
by more than one listener; Angela is also anti-vac, but Allan claims
to be pro-science. 0059 prayer and 0100 over to Hal Turner. Here`s
John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 7490 and just a few seconds later
on 5130 and 6160. I don't check 3265 as it's such a pain to do so.
Allan and Angela in the studio. Opening positive talk about the Area
61 Old Time Radio program on 6160 and all the positive comments they
have received about it. Then a plug for shortwave listening in
general. Some antenna talk then into antennas on dumbphones. Angela
broke in and said they should have a picnic on top of the
superstations antenna and Allan quips that they are the only two
people at the station that could climb to the top and still function.
Then into TV antennas and finally back to radio antennas. Then talk of
antenna problems in FLA because of all the noise down there.

By 0023 they start to slowly drift into some political talk even
though Allan said he didn't like to do political talk during his show.
Allan distracted us by talking about how Angela was dressed and when
the discussion restarted we were back to talking of dumbphones again.
Angela brought up Pirate Joe and Allan stated that he was a communist,
left wing liberal and we're back into politics. Then Allan read an
older email from Ross on the Cape and it had to do with the election
and the general conditions in this country at this time. Angela got
animated after this and Allan started to read another email that had
to do with draining the swamp.

Reading of regular emails began at 0052 and Angela got a little wild.
Closing prayer at 0058 and program was off the air at 0100 again in
mid-sentence. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. JBA TA MW carrier search Aug 28 at 0622 UT: only 621,
stronger than 711, presumably Canary Islands and Morocco. (No 846 from
Kiritimati either) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0246 UT August 29

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey Aug 27 at 1410: none in the 16s; only
15110 JBA; 11440 JBA carrier; 11150 JBA Chinese; 11120 S2-S3; none in
the lower 9s (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11950, Aug 27 at 2215, RHC on here during the hour earlier
than scheduled, with non-// alternative Spanish programming to 11760
mainstream. Something`s always wrong? at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 9490.028V, Aug 28 at 0242, R. República via RMI via
Issoudun, FRANCE, with song blending ME and Cuban elements? Soon 0244
into complaints of a political prisoner; S9+10/20 and no jamming
audible now. Frequency is varying slightly, difficultizing measuring.

After 0300, the UT Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon extension hour has resumed on 5800,
WRMI itself, confirmed at 0344 check Aug 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9, Aug 27 at 0558, no signal from VON which should be
running IS by now for 0600 broadcast, but not rechecked later here or
elsewhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. I haven`t kept rereporting this daily, but as of 1409 UT
Aug 27 daytime, no change since last report Aug 21, concerning 515-MCW
kHz, ND Beacon PN, Ponca City, still OFF; and 341-MCW kHz, NDB EI,
Enid, still on (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 27 at 2212, no signal here from VOT, surely off;
remote not checked since 9420 neighbor Greece accomplishes S8-S9.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Aug 27 at 1418, WRMI prolonged today beyond nominal
1400* with Freedom Synergy Radio talking about Taiwan in English. You
never know whether this webcast-only time will also get shortwaved
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Aug 27 at 1410 UT, KLEY Wellington KS, is still on
steadily S9 but only a trace of music modulation; maybe the 250-watt
daytime rating, but useless except for the 100.3 FM translator to
pretend to relay it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2049 contents: Algeria, Antarctica,
Belarus non, Bolivia, Bougainville, Canada, China, Cuba and non,
France, India, Indonesia, Korea South & North, Laos, Madagascar,
