Hauser
** GUAM. 12085.013, Dec 1 at 1509, unknown language, S Asian? but
often pronouncing the word ``Bible`` as in English with long I, so
suspect a gospel huxter, S6-S9 and slightly off frequency. Aoki & EiBi
agree it`s KSDA AWR, but can`t agree on language: Lus in Aoki, MZ in
EiBi. His readme.txt leads to ``Mizo / Lushai: India-Mizoram (0.7m)
[lus]``, so that covers it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WO)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Dec 1 at 1504, S7-S9 in presumed Kurdish,
apparent news with clips from Dengé Welat via PRIDNESTROVYE, also with
fast SAH from another carrier, but no other audio, probably Turkish
jammer; also some lite long-path echo as previously measured and
explained (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 11705, Dec 1 at 1507, S8-S9 Arabish talk, i.e.
Juba dialect from R. Tamazuj this hour via MADAGASCAR. Altho the
furthest landmass near our antipodes, we get lots of good reception
from this island, especially when beaming across Africa USward beyond
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8502-USB, Dec 1 at *2315, NMG USCG New Orleans cuts on just
as scheduled in EiBi with marine weather, and better modulation than
last time when I thought it was 8501-USB. Apparently between several
voice broadcasts there are longer spans of fax from same? transmitter
listed as 8503.9. Is there still heavy usage of fax mode in this
context? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2062 monitoring: Next:

2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:

Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support:
thanks this week to James F. Leppard, Anderson SC, for a check in US
funds on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702

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

** U S A. We have discussed how WHRI is occupying 7490 at 0430-0600 so
WBCQ cannot --- yet its skedgrid claims to be on 7490 at 0400-0600
Tue-Sat at least, but I already confirmed by monitoring that the show
in question was axually airing on 6160v. However, I also confirmed
that WORLD OF RADIO was still on 6159.9v as of 0400 UT Monday November
30. But not any more. Larry Will of Area 51 tells us:

``Hi all, WBCQ has to change the long running show "Herald of Truth"
from our 7.490 MHz service to 6.160 MHz effective this Sunday. This
will displace the last hour of Area 51 on Sundays, so I've arranged to
move World of Radio and Hobart Radio International as follows:

World of Radio, was 0400 Monday, now 2300 Sunday
Hobart Radio International, was 0430 Monday, now 2330 Sunday
This change will be effective this Sunday, December 6. Regards, Lw``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 1 at 1516, WRMI-3 is still on after nominal 1500*
weekdays, in English interview talking glowingly about exports of
Taiwan, hostess YL with Spanish accent. This has got to be `Freedom
Synergy Radio`, not heard or reported in a few months, come to think
of it, since stopped new programming in August. I search for it on the
WRMI programming and skedgrid pages, and is now nowhere to be found.
Here`s my last log of it under the same circumstances, one UT hour
earlier during DST:

``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``

So I suspect the automation has pulled out an old file to replay,
unless it has just been renewed. I also noticed 9955 on air early
today, I think during the 20 UT hour with TOMBS, contrary to sked
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4095+ CW, Dec 2 at 0110, upward sweep tones once a
second, and IDs as DW every 23 seconds. Monitored via WO7I SDR in
Winnemucca, Nevada, as tipped by Joe Caberlin, Ontario at 0054, he
having first heard it at 0032 via KFS SDR in CA on 4095.5.

I wonder if this is related to or same as the ``W`` beacon on 4102+
heard earlier this year as a ``weather`` beacon somewhere in the SW
desert, which also transmitted encoded beeps about temperature, wind,
battery charge, etc. I quickly find a current log of this on HF
Underground with more detail:

Re: New whooper beacon on 4095.6
« Reply #33 on: December 01, 2020, 1710 UTC »
DW still sweeps low to high with the very first whoop going from
4095.65 to 4096.20 and the next 21 whoops from 4095.65 to 4096.1 KHz.
The CW ID of "DW" is still at the low end at 4095.65 but no longer has
that chirp on the first dash. Coming in S1 on the KFS Kiwi SE radio.
Logged Jim``.

I recheck at 0212 via NV remote and it`s better at S6-S7. Worse at
0236, S5-S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6840-AM, Dec 2 at 0002, open carrier ex-6860, and in the
meantime I also had it on 6880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6935-LSB, Dec 2 at 0004, 2-way in Brazuguese; one was
humsinging a bit making me wonder at first if it were a broadcast
pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0242 UT December 2

** CANADA. 340-MCW kHz, Dec 1 at 0137 UT, dash and YY, 500-watt ND
beacon at Mont-Joli, Québec; louder than my 25?-watt local EI on 341.
Mont Joli is not even in closest QC but way up on the Gaspé Peninsula,
right bank of the St-Laurent, 2761 km = 1715 statute miles. Not much
else from Canada audible now (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6950, Nov 30 at 1500, RHC again on wrong-punch frequency,
nothing on 9650; S7-S9, also with het from an open carrier on 6948.0,
pirate jamming? 6950 still at 1538 but no 6948. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. 6950 had also happened again the morning of Nov 29 at
1330, reported by Chris Smolinski; and by Ivo Ivanov at 1350 with a
Boca Ratón SDR. Ivo also Nov 30 after 1200; and by Wolfgang Büschel at
1243 via a Rochester NY SDR where it was 4 Hz high. Would it rerepeat
the evening of Nov 30? No, not heard around 0115 UT December 1. If
neither frequency be heard, could be another lysdexic sloppyrator
mixup, possibilities: 6590, 5690, 5960, 6059, 6095, 9560, 9605, 9506,
9065, 9056, 0569, 0659, 0695, 0956, 0965 --- did I miss any? Etc.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Dec 1 at 0112, RHC English is S7/S9+10 but suptorted
and JBM; only possible // 9700 is JBA, maybe RHC too. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 4980, Dec 1 at 0156, JBA carrier; could WRMI-4 be
back ex-silent 11710? Quick way to find out is checking the other
three 60m frequencies of PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi`s four language services
which always arrive as a group, and there they are, also JBACs: 5060,
4850, 4500. I was thinking it a bit late to propagate, but not,
especially in winter, with LSR at 0124. That`s 9:24! local time, as
the Beijing Han imperialists force all of China to go by UT+8, even
the west which ought to be UT+6 by longitude; amounts to double-DST
yearound. But that`s the least of Uyghur problems, facing cultural
genocide and brainwashing to wipe out Islam (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Re my obs of K17JN-D Enid changes, Trip Ericson
replies: ``Good morning, Thanks. I've updated K17JN-D accordingly on
RabbitEars. I'd never heard of QVTV either, but I think I tracked it
down.

The way it's supposed to work is that any program that has captions
are supposed to be passed through. Local programming for small enough
stations, or networks under a certain size who produce their own
programming and would have to pay to have that specific programming
captioned, are exempt. There's more to it than that, but I'm not
familiar with the ins and outs. Have a great one, and stay safe. -
Trip`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 684, Dec 1 at 0140, strongest of JBA carriers, enough for
some audio in Castilian, then jazz, and // 774, i.e. RNE1 network,
Sevilla, and on the upper, Valencia strongest among synchros (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 475v-MCW kHz, Dec 1 at 0120 UT, WA4SZE/BEACON in very slow
CW, as we are amid another sporadic spurt of activity. Easy copy as
seems quite stronger than your MW/LW aerobeacons. It`s at WWRB / ATC
airstrip in Manchester, TN, a plaything of Dave Frantz on the
so-called 630-meter hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2062 monitoring: confirmed Monday
November 30 from 1900:43 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria, S9+5/15 via UTwente.
Prelude: *1856:10 open carrier on; 1859:53 IRRS ID with Milano Box,
1900:15 FSN headlines, then WOR. Usual rough modulation but intact
past 1915, less splash than usual as no signal on 7295 from CRI, but
still plenty from 7280 Vietnam despite 10 kHz away, especially when
musicking. Best in SynchAM at 5.59 kHz bandwidth but VOV ACI
inevitable. It`s S9+20 as I continue impressed by their signal into W
Europe direct from Hanoi, 100 kW over an all-overland Eurasian path.

As for no 7295, HFCC shows that as 500 kW due west from Urumqi, CRI
English at 1900-2000. Maybe it`s one of the transmitters off for
maintenance until December 10, as they had notified German service
listeners about other frequencies. Urumqi = East Turkistan, land of
Chicom imperialist cultural genocide and brainwashing of imprisoned
Uyghurs.

WOR 2062 also confirmed UT Tuesday December 1 at 0100 on WRMI 7780,
S9+10 into UTwente, but VP S7-S8 here.

NOT confirmed UT Tue Dec 1 at 0200 on WRMI 9955, too poor to be sure
here, but via Pardinho Brasil SDR, it`s a gospel huxter in English.
WOR was unexpectedly added to sked grid at this time only a few weeks
ago and still shows there; easy go, easy come.

Also confirmed UT Tue Dec 1 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9/+15 to Bonaire
SDR. Next:

2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** VENEZUELA. 6906.06, Dec 1 at 0200, JBA carrier direct, looks like
ROCV could be back; but nothing there when I get around to checking
Bonaire SDR at 0320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search Dec 1 at 0122-0133:
531, 558, 576(2), 612, 621, 639, 684*, 693, 774(2), 801, 855(2),
882(2), 891, 909, 936(2), 954 & 963 despite 960 local, 999, 1017,

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Nov 29 from 2316, mostly weak Chinese
language: 6865 S6-S7; 6850 S7-S9; 7810 S7-S8; 9180; 9200; 9215 to
2325. I also tuned the entire 8 MHz band, but not the 7 MHz band where
there might be non-jammer Chinese. All these check out in Aoki/NDXC as
CNR1 jammer channels against Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Nov 30 at 0344 check, anonymous mystery missionary
station just now at this odd time commencing another regular feature,
`Lecciones de la Historia`, good S9 into Bonaire SDR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 6185, Nov 30 at 0439, NHK Warudo Radio Japan news in
English atop fast SAH from poor XEPPM which is always offset-minus,
but hardly any of its modulation penetrating. NHK relay via AUSTRIA as
tipped by Ivo Ivanov, has just moved here from 6155 for the M-F 0430
and S/S 0500 English semihour, ND 300 kW for W Europe but which would
reach us sufficiently if on a clear frequency, but NHK does not want
us North Americans as an audience. XEPPM is only 1 kW? Also blocked at
earlier 0420 check with AWR in Turkish altho supposedly toward Turkey.
Meanwhile I hear nothing on 6155; surely they did not move to avoid
6159.9v WBCQ over there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6770, Nov 29 at 2318, JBA talk, S6-S7, presumed the
Old Time Radio pirate -- not heard in ages despite occasional chex
this far below the main pirate band. Tnx to new tip today:

``[WOR] Old Time Radio (pirate) 6770 AM 1348 UTC 29 Nov 2020 --- Not a
bad signal this morning, SIO 333 to peaks of 444.
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74989.0.html
Chris Smolinski, Black Cat Systems, Westminster, MD USA`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Circa 9 MHz as I am bandscanning, Nov 29 at 2324 wideband
RF noise burst for a few seconds as my nearest streetlight is
igniting, confirmed by peeking out the window. Fortunately the noise
abates once it`s fully bright, not adding to the high line noise level
continuing. LSS today 2317 UT with clear sky at western horizon, so it
sets off +7 minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8501-USB, Nov 29 at 2323, marine weather e.g. for 45N/78W
location, robom overmodulated distorted on S9+25 peak signal. EiBi
shows NMG USCG New Orleans at 2315-2350 on 8502. Pretty sure I read
frequency correctly, so? If they would just back off the modulation
level. Very poor image for the USCG as anyham would do better with her
SSB rig (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2062 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday November 30 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, good to the ATS-909 portable
but some deep fades.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 at 0130 & 0230 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+15 to
UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 at 0230 on WRMI 5800, S9+15/20 to Bonaire
SDR. Also almost synchro on WRN webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 from 0401:06 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.9,
G S9+15 to Warrenton MO SDR after finding zero signals to Rochester &
Alexandria, too close for skip. At 0355, before he gotta go, JL was
doing a parody commercial about semen as a treatment for COVID, rather
poor taste. At 0418 I found 6159.9 direct VP S7-S8.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 after 0430 on WRMI 9955, under Cuban
pulse jamming at 0444, while earlier during Prague at 0419 it was
S9+10 over PJ. Next:

1900vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 4925, Follow-ups to my log of presumed Tefé, from
Lúcio Otávio Bobrówiec to the WOR iogroup:

4925, Unid. (much probably R. Educação Rural, Brasil Tefé, AM) 26/11,
0000–0052 relaying R. Bandeirantes de São Paulo, which was covering a
footbal soccer match (Corinthians X Curitiba). Poor, best signal at
0045; around 0052 abrupt sign off (LOB).

4925, Unid. (much probably R. Educação Rural, Brasil Tefé, AM) 28/11,
2340–2350 music, male talks. Very poor, slight improvement over time
https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/bUCJ

4925, Unid. (much probably R. Educação Rural, Brasil Tefé, AM) 29/11,
0034–0042 female talks, short music, male talks, slow pop music. Very
poor, some improvement over listening (LOB).
https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/zmoa

4925, Unid. (much probably R. Educação Rural, Brasil Tefé, AM) 29/11,
0059–0104 female talks, music. Trying to catch a ToH ID but
deteriorated significantly (LOB).

It is worth mentioning that some het was heard at a certain time that
I did not register on 4925 listenings (LOB). Tecsun PL310et, Wire 14m,
dipole 18m, Embu SP Brasil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 218-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0640 UT, dash and RL, 980-watt ND
beacon from Red Lake, Ontario. Tuning upward, the first one heard.
BTW, I *never* hear even a JBA carrier on Euro LWBC frequencies. Of
course, would have a better chance earlier from before sunset.

223-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0641 UT, dash and YYW, 1000 watts from
Armstrong, Ontario. BTW, dxinfocentre.com notes that the other
Canadian on 223, YKA, 500 watts in Kamloops BC is ``to be
decommissioned 2021-02-25`` among 18 others on the list --- so hurry
up and DX them.

335-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0652, dash and YLD, 500-watt NDB from Chapleau,
Ontario, not on the de-com list. BTW, the dashes only from Canadians
make the correct frequency clear, while the Americans may be best
audible 1, 2 or even 3 kHz displaced (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 11550, Nov 29 at 1554, Korean, the first
voice sounding synthetic; RFA via SAIPAN at 1500-1900. Unseems
off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 245-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0643, NDB HS, but no such call listed
--- presumably really FS, Sioux Falls - Rock SD, commonly heard 400
watts, and either miskeyed with a dot instead of a dash, or misheard.

257-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0650 UT, NDB JYR, which is 25 watts at York,
Nebraska, Eclipse Central.

338-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0653 UT, NDB UMP, which is 25 watts at
Indianapolis - Metropolitan, Indiana; also some unreadable CCI as I
was tuned to 337-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 475-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0715, WWW marker from WA4SZE, the
very slow Morse code beacon in Manchester TN operated by Dave Frantz
at the WWRB SW site & airstrip. I tune past here every night and first
time logged since October 11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2062 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday November 29 starting at 0432:15 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville

** U S A. Reply from Texas Radio Shortwave to my latest log:

``Ahoy Glenn - Alas TRSW may have to drop its pirate theme now that
we've gone (sorta) mainstream. We guess that Cap'n Ric and the rest of
Crew will just drift off (pirate humor!) and not be heard from again.

With the very limited number of listeners to US pirate stations
compared to those of international broadcasters like Channel 292,
WRMI, and WBCQ, we've learned where our carefully collated music is
most appreciated. Like international broadcasters, we want listeners
not just QSL collectors. Cap'n Ric can't recall the number of times he
heard Ian McFarland, Jonathan Marks, Jeff White, and others say this
at ANARC conferences and on the air. Now he knows what they meant.

Thanks for your report of our anniversary broadcast via WRMI. It's
correct so here's your eQSL. You didn't report on our broadcast a year
ago so you may be interested to know that the small image is the
original eQSL we sent out.

We look forward to hearing from you when we broadcast our
pre-Christmas and Christmas music programs via Channel 292, WRMI, and
WBCQ. We appreciate any publicity you can give to those shows as we
get closer to the dates.

73 and Arrgghh. Always be yourself. Unless you can be a pirate. Then
always be a pirate.

Hauser
** AUSTRALIA [non]. `Calling All Radio Nutz`, I monitor on and off for
the first time via the Unique Radio stream, as it has just been
rescheduled for 20-22 biweekly UT Saturdays.
http://uk4-vn.mixstream.net:8104/listen.pls

From 2035 UT Nov 28, tune-in to VP off-the-air DX recording of
something in Indonesian, then hi-fi music. 2041 back-announcement, has
been a band from Benin called Orchestra; the preceding DX tapes were
R. CANDIP, Zaire, 5066 from 1983y; UAE Radio, Abu Dhabi when it was on
11m, 25900; RRI Jakarta, 9680 from 1982? Is it still active? One
co-host asks, No, replies the other who used to get it regularly in
Denver. The latter is ``Jen, Radio Nutress`` --- does that mean they
identify as female? Voice is ambiguous, soft-spoken and sometimes
overridden by noise, such as someone unexpectedly on the roof
installing an AC.

CARN is an extremely informal live show. 2053 an off-air recording of
something in German. Recheck at 2124, the conversant in UK, called
G.B.? or Mike? is giving some DX news, Inconfidência on 15190, Brasil
DRM on 11880, Tumbril on 6070. 2126 into live bandscanning, comparing
what they are hearing on same frequencies in widely divergent
locations, such as 6000, 5995 Mali; 6050 - HCJB? mixing with
something, Chinese, also ELWA? I think it`s a bit early for Ecuador.
2149 more vintage clips, Reloj de Costa Rica, I guess on 6006,
something from Iceland. Meanwhile I also find:

Unique Radio has resumed streaming and changed times for WOR, also
showing expected SW frequencies when they resume from new location:

0600 on 3210-USB, Tuesday at 1300 on 3210-USB. So these have been
reinserted into the WOR sked http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 5050, Nov 28 at 2321, JBA carrier, presumed V of Beibu Bay
Radio, Nanning, morning 2300-0102 broadcast no longer blocked by WWRB
on weekends, moved to 3215, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Nov 28 from 2327, WOOB 9-16+ MHz; cannot
be positive none be Sound of Hope or other targets as too weak to
parallel, but no reason to believe they be anything but on-frequency
jammers; when there is any audio it`s Chinese or seems Chinese: JBA or
JBA carriers u.o.s.:

9215 stands out as S9+20, far stronger than any of the others, topping
an open carrier on 9218; 9200 S7-S9; 9280; At 2336: 10160; 10820;
10870 S4-S5; 10920 S5-S7; 11070 S3; 11100; 11170. At 2340: 11430
S3-S4; 11440; 11460; 11500 S2-S3; At 2346: 12190; 12210; 12500 S4-S5;
13070 S6-S7; 13130 S5-S6; 13160; At 2354: 13530 S6-S7 vs CODAR; 14940;
no 15s or 16s tho some RTTY is propagating above 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHINA. 11670, Nov 28 at 2342, during CNR1 jammer survey, Chinese
not // here, as it`s CNR2 non-jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 21, Nov 28 at 1936 UT, I`m surprised to see some DTV
area tropo enhancement still in vigour in the afternoon, as four hours
earlier it wasn`t quite enough to decode KUOT-CD, OKC, but now it is:
same PSIP as KUOT on all subchannels:
21-1, 3ABN
21-2, no signal! and diamond, an incoming error message at station
{IBN Television}
21-3, 211? - not sure of my scribble
21-4, algo with LIVE bug UR {Amazing Facts}
21-5, Hope bug UR {Hope Channel}
These do not all match the lineup at as above (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12808.5-CW, Nov 28 at 2350, VVV marker from KPH, the
weekend-only legacy run of KPH by MRHS in California. A few other
markers on 12 MHz probably South Korean (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. After an hour of napping along with KUCO`s anonymous
post-opera birthday vocal music show, I tune on the same portable
DX-398 with telescopic only to what I know will be a bigsig aimed
right at us from Okeechobee:

7570, Sat Nov 28 from 2300, WRMI with the publicized anniversary
replay of the inaugural broadcast of Texas Radio Shortwave. I hope for
the special eQSL repeatedly offered for detailed reports. Opens with a
song by Floyd Domino, `You Can`t Get The Hell Out of Texas`. Frequent
Turkey-gobble-gobble SFX, for this was originally a TG show, now a
biday late. 2304 plug gmail address and frequently, mostly by Third
Mate Susan roboyl; and ``all the music was carefully selected and
mixed by DJ Mr. Turkey``.

Most of the songs to follow are unfamiliar to me, titles and
performers not announced, so I may only give vague descriptions of
some, I would say lots of novelty tunes, and I do not shazaam. 2305
hard rock about America; 2312 it`s S9+20/35, as I start DXing with my
right ear on the big rig, continuing this into my left ear. 2315
gobbler and segué; 2320 song includes some talking; 2323 ID by M&W
voices, Mr Turkey DJ credit again. 2325 song about Mexican farmers,
mentions several XE cities or states. 2328 QSL offer again; 2331
another ID and Happy TG. 2343 ID & Mr. Turkey, blues tune. 2352 gobble
only. 2356 a song I do recognize, `Great Pretender`. 2358 closing with
address, ``Happy Thanxgiving`` five times. Just a bit of `TROT`
alla-marcia theme, was a ``look-back at our inaugural broadcast``.
Susan concludes, ``Until next time, keep the wind at your back.``

Two or three times during this hour I also scanned the 6.9 MHz pirate
band, but no sign of Radio Ga-Ga which was also going to air this
special, which it was first to broadcast a year ago. Maybe it was
during previous hour. No other pirates heard either. Altho TRSW is
still a pirate of non-public provenance, now that it`s appearing on
non-pirate stations, pirate specialists seem to have lost interest in
it. 0000 WRMI switches 7570 to ``He Leadeth Me`` morphing into the
moanin` & groanin` hour of TOMBS: add to that: howlin` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, Sat Nov 28 at 2324, WWRB is on with S9+20/30 of dead
air; recheck at 2332 now a gospel huxter about going to hell (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Nov 29 about 0130 WTWW-2 with `Theater Organ
Under the Arch` in progress, so I listen on the $ tereo webcast altho
some of the recordings are rather lo-fi; ends at 0154 so WTWW can get
back to inorganic ``Surfin` USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
