** CUBA. 6060, July 28 at 0610, RHC English S9 but undermodulated also
vs high storm noise level; 6165 is S9+20 but just barely modulated;
but 6100 is well-modulated S9+20/30. 5040 is off. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, July 28 at 1509, RHC Spanish, S9/+10, just barely
modulated but what I can hear is also distorted. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 28 at 0500, I miss checking UR1 via WRMI
for `Ukraine: Security Issue`; instead know we can hear it here:
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_27_07_22.mp3

Of 7+ minutes for day 157 of the war, including: four strikes on
Russian strongholds in Kherson region; optimistic Kherson city will be
liberated; new weapons arriving helpful, but not enough; more than 25
megatons of grain now expected to be delivered; American banks to be
charged for continuing to do business with Russia.

Or, after going thru a few steps from:
http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/ua_security_issue
where it says, and also available in up to 7 other languages:
``Actual news about the russian-Ukrainian war. Every day, Ukrainian
Radio prepares a digest of the most important news about the
russian-Ukrainian war in the format of short podcast. We offer only
reliable information from confirmed sources: reports on the course of
the war, coverages from cities attacked by russia, as well as news
about life in the home front regions of Ukraine. If you want to be
aware of the situation in Ukraine, but do not have time to read the
news all day – the “Ukraine: security issue” is for you.``

As for missing from usual 0500 UT start, the night before, Richard
Langley says, ``Based on my recording of the relay of UR1 by Radio
Baltic Waves International using the U. Twente SDR receiver, "Ukraine:
security issue" began at 0021 UTC on 27 July. Usually starts near the
top of the hour, but sometimes not`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2148 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St.
Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio:
JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees, Dear Glenn:
World of Radio, monitoring and confirming the latest for #2148,
shorter week family concerns and Summer laziness, WRMI:
9395, 0030, 0044, 0058 (45343), 0059, July 28 UTC [Thu]
9395, train sounds, 0130, 0144, 0158 (45433), 0158, July 28 UTC [Thu]
(Lemke, Richard -AB) Good listening, Richard, July 28, 2022``

Also confirmed UT Thu July 28 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S7/9+10 into
Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Thu July 28 at 0146 the 0130 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+10
direct; and 5010 on but unreadable vs high storm noise level.

New WOR 2149 should be ready for first broadcasts by 0130 UT Friday
July 29 on WRMIs 5850, 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, July 28 at 1511, this WRMI is back on, S9 but
undermodulated with TOMBS. Much louder on // 9395 & 9955 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, July 28 at 1510, no signal at all from WLCR on WBCQ,
so I can`t measure how inaccurate the frequency be. Not a twit from
Allan Weiner since he last implied it was on, July 26. What`s the
matter now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5935, July 28 at 0605, Dead Gene Scott on WWCR has crosstalk
from another unID program, but stops or suspends in a few minutes.
Checking the other frequency, 4840: TOMBS with continuing crosstalk =
double audio feed; not DGS but seems political? I make sure it`s not
overload from my locals KCRC/KZLS.

This problem has been ruining WWCR for a while, reported by others.
Obviously WWCR staff can`t even stand to listen to, let alone
spot-check monitor, their own gospel/political huxters:

``5890 Jul 28 0240 Mix of several voices. It doesn't seem to come from
different transmission. Trouble at WWCR Studios? Broadcasting returned
to normal at 0302 with only one program being broadcast on the
frequency. 73 Jorge Freitas. Feira de Santana, Bahia 12°14´S 38°58´W
- Brasil, Tecsun PL-660, XHDATA, Antenna Delta Loop and LW 20
meters``

Ron Howard: ``Thanks, Jorge, for the alert! July 28, heard WWCR
(4840), randomly from 0602-0831 UT. Double audio feed the whole time;
one with Brother Stair and the other the "Power Hour" program; at
times both about equal strength.

Heard two audio feeds for somewhat less than a week before the problem
was fixed. Ron (California) - posted to WOR iog on July 6:

"BTW - Very unique WWCR (4840) reception today from 0705 to 0930 UT;
double audio feeds; one with Brother Stair and the other UNID, in
English." Ron, California``

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria: ``Also double audio feed on 3215 WWCR-1 until
0500 UT this morning, one with Brother Stair and second is the other
gospel huxter`` -- after which 3215 & 5890 close down weekdays (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555-USB, July 28 at 1508, no signal from WJHR -- nor have
I run across this memorial to another dead gospel huxter in quite some
time in random bandscans. Wonder if on air at all anymore. When did
anyone last log it? Never has been anywhere near licensed 50 kW power,
and at awkward distance may not propagate unless sporadic-E boosted
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (101.1 FM), July 28 circa 1530 UT, on KSFR Santa Fe NM
webcast, DJ Susan Ohari mentions that their main transmitter was hit
by lightning about 4 am [10 UT], so is now on alternative transmitter
reducing/changing coverage. But stream continues. I always try to
listen to her `Beyond Borders` world music show Thursdays at 1505-1800
UT. Don`t be put off by her halting style of speaking: she plays some
great music!

https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KSFR&service=FM

coverage map shows site is just west of Los Álamos, so that SF itself
is barely within the `local` contour, while the `fringe` contour goes
right thru Albuquerque. Taos is on the outskirts oppositely.

Pattern is slightly direxional skewed to favor SF to the ESE.
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KSFR&service=FM

But FCC FM Query shows a different pattern, circular except pulled in
at 190 degrees SSW to only 49%, disfavoring ABQ, and also reduced from
160 to 220 degrees.

City of License, however, as always in legal IDs, is White Rock, which
is between SF and LA. Radio-Locator.com shows:
``Effective Radiated Power 2900 Watts
Height above Avg. Terrain 538 meters (1765 feet)
Height above Ground Level 50 meters (164 feet)
Height above Sea Level 3092 meters (10144 feet)
Antenna Pattern Directional
Transmitter Location 35° 53' 09" N, 106° 23' 15" W``

But their aux facility is at FCC FM Query:
``35° 40' 43.10" N Latitude
105° 59' 29.50" W Longitude (NAD 83)
Use NAD83 for FM filings in LMS. 35.678639 -105.991528
Previous NAD27 coordinates: 35° 40' 43" 105° 59' 27.5"

Polarization: Horizontal Vertical
Effective Radiated Power (ERP): 3. 3. kW ERP
Antenna radiation center Height Above Average Terrain: 20. 20. meters
Antenna radiation Center Height Above Mean Sea Level: 2142. 2142. m
Antenna radiation center Height Above Ground Level: 52.3 52.3 meters
Non-Directional``

Map for that shows location just west of SF, such that SF and WR are
within only contour shown, 60 dBu but not LA. Maybe that was location
when it was on original 90.7; later swapped with a gospel huxter
evidently to their mutual advantage. History about:

``7/31/2007: KSFR starts to simulcast from transmitters on West
Alameda (90.7 MHz) and Pajarito Mountain (101.1 MHz). 8/6/2008: KSFR’s
simulcast ends and it starts broadcasting exclusively from Pajarito
Mtn. on 101.1 MHz``

1608, says power is back to main transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, July 28 at 0612, JBA carrier, maybe R. Vanuatu? Soon
disappears so probably not, rather a ham. RV has been AWOL from all
known frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wednesday July 27 at 1450, no signal
yet from LRA36 into Argentine remote, and I`m busy until next check
1529 when it`s in very well peaking S5/S9 with music; 1530 ID as Radio
Arcángel San Gabriel, omitting Nacional; YLs send saludos; 1532 This
Week in History such as a US atomic explosion on July 25, 1946? 1542
interview on phone with a guy at Base Alcala, I had not heard of
before. Web research leads to a Land Army of Spain operation with the
University of Alcala on Deception Island. They are stressing Alcála on
the middle-a instead of final-á as should be proper, until 1600.
Chopped off air abruptly at 1601*. I let it run until 1630, hearing
only some weak but very repetitive clicking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9664v, July 27 at 0604, no signal from RVM. There is JBA
carrier slightly below 9675, unlikely it, too weak: 9674.976. Only
scheduled is CNR1 Beijing 572 site, but not expected to be that far
off 9675 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13709.949V, July 27 at 2033, S6/S8, Arabic wavering
slightly and certainly off frequency. This hour is WCB MWV, while
Sa`udi Arabia is also skewed from 13710 until 1757. MWV becoming
reliable in offfrequenciness (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6920- AM, slightly on minus side, July 27 at 0623
rock music S7/S8, 0633 announcement sounds like Radio Christian --
something, but no such music; deep fades but S9+10 peaks. I undoze at
0722 for another ID like that. Nothing reported this late in HFU,
altho Corn Desert Outpost was on 6920 USB earlier until 0210; but this
is probably it from 4 nights earlier:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,99846.0.html

``Shortwave_listener British Columbia, Canada:
Radio Pushka 6920 AM 0545 UTC 23 Jul 2022
« on: July 23, 2022, 0549 UTC »
Exact frequency is 6919.96 kHz. S9 with the KPH KiwiSDR in California.
Extremely weak carrier present at my QTH. This station has been going
non-stop since July 7. 0545 UTC-Music, 0549 UTC-Station ID.`` It`s
Russian-ethnic, Pushka meaning gun or rifle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, another alternate weekday July 27 at 2200, another
missing token English broadcast from REE without explanation or
apology. S9+5/15 into Maryland SDR. Instead another episode in
Castilian of `Canciones Ténebres`, this one about Cuba. Something`s
missing from Madrid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.021, July 27 at 2256 tune-in, not too late for VOT; if
IS still playing this late after English, there will be German IDs
twice a minute, and so there are; 2300 IS and sign-on imaginary German
broadcast which is scheduled to SW air only at two much earlier hours,
one of them on 9840 as announced, but German now supposedly only on
webcast/satellite/program feed line. S9+35/45 with some hum;
sleepyrator finally wakes up and shuts it off at 2307.5* Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 27 at 0503, UR1 via WRMI still hasn`t
started English `Ukraine: Security Issue`. Find it here instead:
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_26_07_22.mp3
What else? More Russian attax. Some fired from Caspian Sea. 48 Russian
soldiers eliminated in one operation. T-shirt map includes American
Alyaska in Russia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
