** NORTH AMERICA. 5060v, Sept 4 at 0035 while monitoring WBCQ, I see a
note on the ODXA iog, from John Hudak, Dundas, ON, ``Pirate station
WDOG is on 5060 kHz USB right now as I write this - 0027 UT Sept. 5,
2020 (8:27 p.m. EDT Fri. Sept. 4). Fairly good signal, playing various
rock and pop songs. Frequent ID's between songs and sound of dog
barking.``

So I switch one of the Rochester SDRs to 5060 and there it is with
rock music? More like noise and I don`t really recognize any musix or
barx. Synch indicates frequency fluxuating 5060.7 to 5061.6; still
there past 0119 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Re 780 KSPI having a 1969y ``PSA`` from FCC, and what
does it stand for? Bob Biermann, FL, explains on the WOR iog:
``In FCC jargon, PSA means presunrise authority, which is generally
500 watts, though sometimes less, beginning at 6:AM local time. PPSA
is partial presunrise authority. An example of PPSA would be
protecting a station toward east until sunrise at the protected
station's location. PSSA is post sunset authority which may include
multiple lower powers levels.)`` (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Sept 4 at 2200 when REE should be in M/W/F
English, only dead air of S9+10/20. Also open carrier on 11940. 2203
checking at UTwente, 9690 open carrier with heavy ACI from 9685
Chinese music; 11940 & 11670 & 12030 all with dead air except for some
rapid clicking which is more audible on each if offtuned 1 or 2 kHz
from center carriers ---- and not heard elsewhere on bands so I
conclude that is coming out of the Noblejas transmitters rather than
QRM or something local at the SDR. Recheck here a sesquihour later at
2333, 11940 & 9690 are still on unmodulated, the latter registering
S9+20/30 of wastage. A few days ago someone enquired whether REE
English had been canceled but I can`t find it now; nor had I been
checking every alternate weekday. Tnx anyway for lessening competition
against WOR at same time on 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Friday Sept 4 at 2200, no signal here from VOT
English for us, just NSS RTTY. Neither at UTwente checked at 2203 and
beyond. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Tnx anyway for
lessening competition against WOR at same time on 9955 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2050 monitoring: confirmed Friday
Sept 4 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9 direct and no jamming; at 2219 checked

it`s way off-target.

** U S A. 7490.1 & 6159.9 & 5130: UT Sat Sept 5 at 0000, I start
monitoring `AAAWWW` on WBCQ direct. On 7490 the g.h. who thinx he`s
later on 9625 from WINB is closing late, so WBCQ ID and WTO overlaps
mixing with him. 5130 joins WTO slightly later. 6160 which has been in
`Old Tyme Radio` at 0001 is playing hi-pitched IS, and other music;
0002 still not WTO, nor at 0004. 7490 is quite noisy, so I move to its
webcast, but miss a minute or two of what`s being said.

1) Angela is beautiful; 2) lamenting a friend, Jim, who has died, not
clear of what, accident? Later mentions last name Lerner, a visiting
radio/TV engineer. At 0010 says ``6160 is not on`` --- well, it has
been but not with this show; he thinx ``stupid remote control shut it
off at 8 o`clock``. 5130 & 7490 are also on. It`s been bad week,
besides losing Jim, personnel problems. 0013 says 6160 is back up, and
gets into politix/religitix, denouncing Pelosi et al. repeatedly as
``dickheads``. 0019 pause and says there has just been a power outage;
thinx his yelling axually blew 5130 & 6160 off the air by
overmodulating! Puts on music fill to go out and restart them. I
quickly check Rochester SDR and indeed 5 & 6 are off while 7 is still
on.

0023 says 6160 is back on, but not 5130 which has 15-year-old tubes
needing replacing. May have to move all 5130 programming to 6160,
which was retubed a year ago. PA final tubes can be very expensive, a
TH576 for the 500 kW transmitter is available new from Thalès for
$ 189K, as he just priced it; weighs 135 lb, more than Angela`s 105,
water-cooled. A rebuilt one would cost only $ 100K. Why charge so much?
Not that complicated; because they can, as only source. For a 50 kW
transmitter would cost only $ 10K, an ACX35000; or $ 6-7K rebuilt.
Wishes someone would donate enough $ $ to fix them up.

Brother Stair provides some income, but ``is not paying a quarter of
what he should be``, likewise other clients. 0029 into COVID-19; 0030
interrupted by a call, tells them to call back in an hour. That was
about his other business, antique auto sales; see the HCCA website for
his items, Horseless Carriage Club of America.

On to nutrition discussion, obesity adding risk for COVID-19; both A &
A are thin; he eats some meat such as plain hamburgers, she does not.
Both eat veggies and so should everyone so their shit is green. 0044
caller from Toronto; 0046 finally reveals it`s 4th of September, YOOL
2020 and now on 7490 & 6160. 0048 call from Philadelphia wondering if
tubes are guaranteed, and for how long.

0050 skims some Free Radio Weekly items just published including
Nicaragua 8989 but not mentioning who reported it -- me. Resumes also
mentioning FRSH, but balks at reading frequencies to 3 decimal places
as I reported. 0057.5 mentions WHRI acquisition is still in transition
period. Does not explain how he can pay $ 1.25 million for that yet
can`t afford new tubes for Classic WBCQ Monticello. Benedixion and off
just in time for 0100 Hal Turner. Here`s John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 7490 and 5130. 6160 was carrying
music. Allan and Angela in the studio. Allan opens with how much he
loves looking at Angela. Then into news of a friend of everyone at the
station who had fallen from a radio tower, not at WBCQ. Allan
mentioned that he was in the process of rebuilding transmitter number
one and had been for a month now. Allan announced that 6160 wasn't
running and it was probably a computer problem. Then he announced that
it was now up and running the program. Then stated that if any BLM
group tried to shut down the station they would be met with guns. Back
to his friend, he said it was a shame that he had to die when there
were so many other people in this country that should die instead.
Then a very mini rant about Biden, Pelosi, Cortez and a few others.

At 0018, 5130 went down and I retuned to 7490 in time to hear Allan
announce that both 5130 and 6160 had gone down hard. He put some music
on and went out to see if he could get them going. Allan was back at
0022 saying that 6160 was back up but 5130 was hopeless and probably
needed to be retubed and that they may have to move 5130 programming
to 6160. Said he would work on it late and make a decision then. He
said all the tubes needed to be replaced and he was throwing around
prices of a hundred thousand to a hundred and ninety thousand per
tube. He mentioned that the programmers at the station should be
paying three times more for airtime than they were now on the classic
WBCQ. He asked for someone to send him a couple million dollars so he
could fix all the transmitters.

Then on to obesity and the epidemic of overeating in this country and
how it contributed to Covid deaths. Then into general food talk. Phone
call at 0043 from Canada with a gentleman suggesting that the station
add a program about vegan foods. Allan and Angela thought it was a
great idea. Another phone call at 0048 asking for verification of the
tube prices that Allan mentioned earlier and asked if the tubes
included a warranty.

Reading of emails at 0050 starting with a reading of the Free Radio
Weekly. Third email was the newest version of the Free Radio Weekly
and he read through that one also. Another mention about buying WHRI
and how wonderful it would be and how important to preserve all these
radio stations but no real information about it. Closing prayer at
0058 and off the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

on 13160, 11460. K-index at 1500 is 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, Sept 4 at 0444, CRI Cantonese relay is S9+50! but
overmodulated/distorted compensating for dead air the last time I
checked it. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MEXICO. 650, Sept 4 at 1200, Radio 65, XETNT Los Mochis, Sinaloa
starting its morning news show with full ID from Grupo Chávez, fair
signal; and weaker, QRMed 610 XEGS Guasave has just joined in // after
separate music before the hour. Welcoming us to viernes, fin de
semana. But first, some really frantic banda music to wake us up. 1207
down to business with ``avances de información`` = headlines, weather
info, lack of lluvias, 1210 fading out. LSR here was 1206. Good to be
hearing these again.

700, another NW Mexican has not quite faded out by 1200, Spanish
either XEGD Parral, Chihua2 or XEETCH, Etchojoa, Sonora; and signs of
870 XETAR, Guachochi, Chihua2. Need earlier selfarising and/or later
sunrising. Tim Hall`s new IRCA Mexican Log notes that official IFT
info does not include XETNT and XEGD, but were reconfirmed still
active on MW as of last year (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 275-MCW kHz, Sept 4 at 0422 UT, ND beacon GUY, which is
25 watts from Guymon. Strangely enough, believe first time I`ve heard
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 341-MCW kHz, Sept 4 at 0420 UT, ND beacon EI at
Woodring Airport, Enid is dominant on loop aimed E/W, while OIN,
Oberlin KS is JBA but no EI on the shortwire N/S. An earlier obs not
logged found them about equal and timed so alternating nicely (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 780 kHz, Sept 4 at 1135 UT, strong rock music looping
toward Stillwater, i.e. KSPI 250-watt daytimer; 1138 ``It`s Pete`` and
more music. Checking since Tim Hall`s huge Final Report of his Border
Inn NV/UT DXpedition last October included an unID on 780:

``10/26 1116 - "Strong Enough" by Sheryl Crow (successfully identified
by SoundHound app) on ENE wire. Not sure who this would be; a whiny
90s pop tune doesn't fit KAZM's occasional overnight oldies show. It
might fit on KSPI or possibly WPTN, but neither of those stations
should be on at this hour``

I told him, ``780 unID, seems like I have heard KSPI before 7 am CDT,
tho am rarely awake then -- maybe they are coming on at 11 UT = 6 am
CDT. Will try to check. No, I can`t find any FCC record of psra.``

At FCC AM Query I look thru ancient history cards concerning KSPI.

http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=44676

Original CP in August 1946 was for 840, but changed by November to
780. In 1949, a Special Service Authorization to operate from 6 am to
7:30 pm CST --- was denied. In 1950 they tried for dual-frequency
operation, switching to 790 at night with 500 watts direxional, but
that was dismissed. In 1953 applied to move to 1490 unlimited hours,
but later withdrew. On 9-30-69 there was a telegram about a ``PSA`` at
250 watts to protect WBBM. Does that mean pre-sunrise, post-sunset, or
both?? And is that the basis for starting by 6 am now? (Glenn Hauser,

NEW first airing, UT Friday September 4 at 0130 confirmed on WRMI
5850, VG S9+20/30 and 5010, G S9/+10. Weaker signal but 5010
modulation level sounds slightly higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 730 kHz, Sept 4 at 0426 UT, the unmistakable roarer Brother
Scare with almost-constant plugging of his phone number, slightly
above the QRM level. Compared to 7730 WRMI, 730 is running 21 seconds
behind; still at 0458 recheck in more contact info. No ID breaks are
built-in to the Overcomer feed, but 0459 seems to cut away, maybe
local ID but uncopyable. 0500 Fox `News` but can`t be certain same
station.

TOM website has redesigned its Radio Log starting with SW stations in
table format, but it`s never 100% accurate:

https://overcomerministry.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Radio-Log.pdf

Only 5 AM stations remain at the bottom, no more WCKY but still WWVA;
and two of them are shown for the Sabbath service only, Sat 9-11 am
CDT, including one on 730: KQPN 730 West Memphis AR. But this is
certainly not when I am hearing it. I can`t find a website for itself,
but searching indicates it`s Yahoo Sports Radio, and owned by F. W.
Robberts, i.e. same as WMQM and WWCR! There is streaming link:
https://tunein.com/radio/KQPN-730-s35522/
which confirms at this time it`s not sports at all but 0515 UT with:
Brother Scare! KQPN is U4, 1/1 kW with a non-major lobe thisaway
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1147, 1157, 1173, 1183 kHz, Sept 4 at 0437, heavy IBOC noise
peaks as KSL 1160 SLC and KFAQ 1170 Tulsa fight it out. I daresay
nowhere else among the `clear` channels audible here is there any such
crap remaining (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1370, still no sign of KGNO Dodge City KS. I need a better
excuse to drive all the way to DC to investigate.

Following up: consulting Tim Hall`s Final Report of last October`s
Border Inn NV/UT DXpedition, I see among hundreds of logs including
several on 1370, there is none of KGNO, so I wrote him, ``I was
looking to see whether you got KGNO Dodge City KS, which I suspect of
being secretly off the air.`` Tim replies:

``KGNO was a regular catch at this location until at least 3 or 4
years ago (I don't recall exactly), but I haven't had a trace of them
since, despite the fact that the channel is less crowded after some of
the Mexican stations went off. I also suspect KGNO is off... or maybe
just in extreme disrepair? Same with KLEY-1130, a station whose
travails you have documented in recent years. I think the same can be
said for some of the HPRN stations in Texas/Oklahoma/New Mexico.
[High Plains Radio Network] has been consolidating operations for
several years now, running the same programming on groups of 2 or 3
stations that used to have their own formats and staffs. I've been
especially suspicious of KICA-980 [Clovis NM], which I have never
heard, even on optimal sunset/sunrise dates/times, and even when
KCLV-1240 and KSEL-1450 [Portales NM] have been nightly catches. Also
in last October's recordings, I had no trace of KVOP-1090 [Plainview
TX] at all, and they are usually a bit of a pest on several wires.
HPRN has almost no web presence at this point, just a basic skeleton
of a web site for all of their stations on one page. In contrast to
the general state of HPRN stations, little KTAT-1570 [Frederick OK,
eluding gh] was a nightly catch this year. They didn't put as big a
dent in XERF as little KDDD-800 [Dumas TX] puts in XEROK, but there
were several clear IDs audible in my recordings.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Sept 4 at 1151-1159

1278, 1521, 1611 kHz. At this time too much splash from 780 KSPI music
to get 774, but earlier at 1139 on the PL-880 while checking KSPI,
could detect 774 and looping NW = Japan. Enid sunrise today: 1206 UT

Also confirmed UT Thu Sept 3 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA here.

NOT confirmed UT Thu Sept 3 at 0130 on WRMI 5010 & 5850; instead music
continues from RNEI, which is now scheduled at 0100-0200 Thursdays;

WOR has been moved, as I requested, 24 hours later to 0130 UT FRIDAYS
on 5850 and 5010 - which means that will be first SW airing `hot off
the press` minutes after it`s finished produxion, starting with #2050
Sept 4, unless there be some problem holding it up (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Re my WRMI log under CUBA [non], of 5800 in Spanish after
0300 UT Wednesday Sept 2, assumed to be an expansion of R. República
from UT Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon only, I later check the skedgrid now updated
as of Aug 30, showing that hour really occupied by the Argentine media
program La Rosa de Tokio. WS & WOR remain at 0300-0400 UT Tuesdays,
and also a new repeat of `Encore` on UT Thursdays; the other days
remain blank hiding the existence of Radio República. But should R.R.
wish to expand to 7 dpw we`re all gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Sept 3 at 0553, WRMI is S9+10 of dead air instead of
SMTV; which had returned to normal after a couple days of
double-audio; silence in compensation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13093.6, Sept 3 at 1343, 2-way in colloquial Spanish,
one side with very loud ``engine noise``.

10828-USB, Sept 3 at 1350, 2-way in Spanish, both encountered during
CNR1 jammer bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1646 UT September 3

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Sept 2 at 1450, LRA36 is on this
Wednesday; neglected to check a week ago; via Brazil KiwiSDRs, S5-S7
talk at first, all Spanish about something in 1945y, arbor day and
forestation which is probably not concerning Antarctica; via another
remote only S1-S2 and starting to fade out by 1545; 1554 usual canned
`Corazón Antártico` program ID and song, 1606 still audible but not at
1610, presumed off. Nominal 1400-1600, but Manuel Méndez, Spain says
it opened around 1350; he too could only hear it via Brasil. At one
point I downtuned to 15475.00, reconfirming on USB that there is still
a reduced carrier. Presumably to be repeated circa same hours or later
on Saturday, weather permitting (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Sept 2 at 1355-1400: nothing in the
WOOBs of 13, 12, 11, 10 or 9 MHz, tuning past all the usual spots.
K-index at 12 and 15 was 2, SF 70, no storms per WWV. This will
present a problem for frequency-order editors, who have got to have
some kHz to hang it on; even tho this obs of no signals heard is no
less significant than when some are. Well: there was a JBA carrier on
9680 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Sept 2 at 0321, R. Progreso is still OFF; what`s wrong?
Something, always at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145, Sept 2 at 0330, RHC English is only S5-S8 and JBM,
sounds like Arnie as to be expected for `DXers Unlimited`; while the
only //, 6000 is S8-S9 and also just barely modulated, so listeners
are out of luck until maybe some better frequency after 0500 such as
5040, 6100. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, Sept 2 at 0342, CRI Cantonese relay hour is only S7-S9
maybe due prop disturbance instead of blasting in, yet also open
carrier/dead air. What a waste. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 5800, UT Wed Sept 2 at 0324, WRMI with R. República,
and no jamming audible yet, tho the signal is quite strong even here,
yet aimed SSE toward Cuba. Originally this extension after 9490 France
to 0300-0400 was UT Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon only, so now 7 days? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275.057, Sept 2 at 0334, VOT English to us intruding into
our 40m exclusive hamband, only S5-S9, JBA with Turkish music fill,
and markedly off-frequency. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9315-9345, Sept 2 at 0340, WLCR in British via WBCQ is
splattering out to this range from S9+30/40 fundamental 9330. Seems to
me this is excessive despite the very strong signal. Wondering if it`s
500 or only 250 kW, as some of the closer targets were so registered,
I check HFCC, which displays imaginary info: Nothing on 9330 between
0100 and 0900, rather 6195 at 0300-0400 in German! Despite WBCQ-6
*never* able to reach any frequency but 9330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Sept 2 at 0321, WRNO is still OFF; what`s wrong?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. Correxion to last log of JBA 3945 harmonic carriers only,
as Ron Howard points out, not X4 and X3 on 11835 & 7890, but X3 and
X2. There is a X4 on 15780 not detectable here. How about further up
in the closer daytime Pacific? Check 19725, 23670, 27615, 31560, etc.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 2 at
0310-0318 UT: 531, 549, 612(2), 621, 684(2), 711, 756(-)birdie?,
774(2, or beating against a birdie), 828, 837, 855, 891, 1044,
1098(2), *1107(2), 1125(2), 1134; none higher but the QRM splash is
worst above the `clear` channels.

*1107 strongest of the lot so 0319 try for some audio, and detect a
bit of music which is not coming from 1100 or 1110. Big gun on 1107 is
400 kW from Afghanistan, but far more likely are the five Radio 5
synchros from Spain ranging from 10 to 25 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5780, Sept 2 at 0324, JBA carrier, as often detectable
in our evenings. Suspected one of the Euro-pirates, such as Radio
Harmony if it run all-night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
