** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960, Sept 6 at 0152 quick check confirms The
Mighty Farty KBC has made its seasonal switch via GERMANY from 9925,
and now a VG signal for the UT Sunday 00-02 broadcast; think I just
missed Kraig Krist`s Forgotten Song spot if he is still doing that;
too occupied with the 4940 matter, i.a. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU [and non]. 4940, UT Sunday Sept 6 at 0100, via TWR Bonaire
KiwiSDR, good signal in Spanish drama, first YL speaking, then dialog
and also narration, music. Het from carrier on 4941 cuts on and off
occasionally; evitable by downtuning to 4938 in AM Narrow mode. 0107
gives website www.lamontanacolombia.com and song; 0111 starts
religious talk about La Fe, etc.

[Chasing this I have to forego what I planned to hear during the 01-02
UT Sunday hour, `Encore` on WRMI 5850, having remembered to check 4940
first; but will have another chance 25 hours later on 9455; and WRMI
grid shows a new airing UT Thursdays at 0300 on 5800, which I guess is
a repeat but could be a prepeat.]

I keep hoping for an ID break on 4940 but none between shows starting
and ending at odd times, nor circa hourtops. Could this be a new
Colombian SW station as implied by the following From Rafael
Rodríguez, Colombia? English version:

``NEW SHORTWAVE RADIO PROJECT --- It is a new partnership project
between the organizations ethnicradio.org and Fuerza de Paz; to bring
the gospel in native languages to Colombia and Venezuela.

ethnicradio.org, has supported the installation of stations in Bolivia
and Perú both in SW and FM, as well as recording studios for
indigenous communities.

Fuerza de Paz and his campaign “Colombia para Cristo”, has also
developed its work through radio in MW, SW and FM.

Additionally, for the medium term, they are working on the
reactivation of Colombian signals at 5.910 KHz and 6.010 KHz``

Attached screenshot shows something on 4940.041 kHz, at 0242 UT Sept
5, without further explanation --- it so happens that I had an unID
unlogged carrier on 4940 circa 0500? Sept 5. Along with the VOA
Africans on 4930 & 4960. Onlything in Aoki is the old R. San Antonio,
Perú. It seems to be missing most of the time but occasionally
reported, with a Christian format.

Back to the present Sept 6: at 0117, clips of ``I had a dream`` and
``sieg heil`` to intro next show, `Lecciones de la Historia` about
Babylon citing bible verses.

At 0120 I check my own R75 reception on 4940: JBA carrier, but the
intermittent carrier on 4941 is stronger. At 0136, Bonaire in synch
mode tuned to 4940.00 says its carrier -1.6 Hz, and steady. At 0142
het cuts on again as Lecciones show is terminating; music break; 0146
bible verse about Jeová, another song. 0152 intros a 20-minute
program. I suspend for a while at 0200-0300 in order to hear `Weekend
Radio` on WCLV webcast. 0300 recheck, 4940 is still S9 at Bonaire with
a song. 0325 I check again here, and now it`s JBA talk at S9/+10 vs
HSNL. Recheck Bonaire at 0345, now it`s JBA there, so much weaker it
should be some other station after sign-off, but none are known.

Idea that this 4940 might be a new Colombian is enforced by the
``Colombian content`` of that web reference which I look up later, to
find:

``Colombian Film written and directed by Lisa & Alethia Stendal

On a mountain in Colombia, paramilitary forces have Marxist rebels
cornered against a high ridge without food. In search of a way out,
the guerrillas ask an old friend (a missionary they had held hostage
and released some 20 years ago) for the number of a humanitarian
priest in hopes of finding someone to bring food to the mountain. The
missionary mistakes the priests' name for the head paramilitary leader
and inadvertently gives the guerrilla commanders the wrong number.
Through a humorous confusion two sworn enemies end up face to face in
an emotional encounter that unveils the very core of Colombia's
conflict and the journey each one must take to finally find peace in a
lifetime of war.

Sinopsis:

Película Colombiana escrita y dirigida por Lisa & Alethia Stendal

En una Montaña en Colombia fuerzas paramilitares tienen a un grupo
Guerrillero a corralado en una alta cordillera, sin comida. En busca
de una salida, los guerrilleros le piden a un viejo amigo (un
misionero que 20 años atrás habían secuestrado y liberado) por el
teléfono de un cura reconocido en la zona por sus obras humanitarias,
con la esperanza de hallar a alguien que les lleve comida a la
montaña. El misionero confunde el nombre del padre con el de un
paramilitar y sin darse cuenta le da a los guerrilleros el número
equivocado. A través de una confusión llena de humor, dos enemigos
terminan cara a cara en un encuentro emocional que destapa el núcleo
del conflicto en Colombia y el recorrido que cada uno debe tomar para
finalmente encontrar la paz en medio de una vida llena de guerra.``

The film came out a few years ago. Possibly they were playing excerpt
from its soundtrack. Stendals are a familiar name, as the plot seems
like the life story of a missionary relative of theirs, Martin
Stendal, was the force behind the still dormant Voz de tu Conciencia
6010 and Alcaraván Radio 5910, but which are still slated for revival,
and in fact 6010 as Alcaraván was heard for one? night only as I
reported, last March 10 UT. No report of either frequency since.
Rafael Rodríguez had some contact with the stations as QSL manager.

However, Radio San Antonio, Ucayali, Perú has been reported recently
active on 4940, so tentatively that is what we are getting now, not
Colombia:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW9jooaoxlw
As received Aug 14, 2020 in Lima on 4940, ID right at the start.

As for the ethnicradio website RRR referenced, there is nothing about
the current matter, only one item from this year, in June, about R.
Chazuta, Peru:
https://www.ethnicradio.org/2020/06/radio-waves-in-chazuta-peru.html
which is nothing but an 18-second testimonial, also for Radio Logos.
Ethnic Radio is notoriously ambiguous about what they are axually
doing, while soliciting donations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800 & 5950, Sept 5 at 2352, both these WRMIs are running
SMTV: more confusion. #10 on 5800 is so scheduled, but #5 on 5950 is
shown as Overcomer on the frequency grid; but the 23-24 hour on the
TOM System C grid shows 5850! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Sept 6 at 0023, TONITO has just started on
WTWW-2 so I switch immediately to its $ tereo webcast: starts playing
`Downtown` since Bob Heil in Belleville IL is right across from DNTN
St Louis; and the rest is very familiar too as a rerun from last? week
featuring Les Larsen playing via his SD card on a Wurlitzer type built

chex, no signal to Brasil remotes from LRA36. RNASG succeeded
transmitting Wednesday Sept 2, and had been repeating Saturdays except
last week due to bad weather, altho there had been no specific
publicity about today. Base Esperanza weather is relatively mild
today, per Accuweather, so that`s no excuse:

instead as a receiver overload mix of 11760 RHC + 1390 KCRC local
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Sept 5 at 0432, RHC English is suptorted, JBM and

** CUBA. 13635 & 13765 approx., Sept 5 at 1451, RHC spurblobs, no
readable modulation but F# tone, out of 13700, and weaker second-order
pair about 13570 & 13830; just in time as they all go off at 1454.8*.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11735 & 12000, Sept 5 at 1800, no signals from
anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH, which had been caught occasionally
with Saturday-daytime broadcasts on 25m -- I got 12000 once, and Mick
Delmage had him on 11735 blocking Zanzibar. I scan the entire 25mb+
from 11500 to 12200 with no results. Maybe was on earlier and too late
already (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 730, Sept 5 at 0450 UT, silly baseball game, mentions Dodger
Stadium more than once, poor signal vs QRM partly Spanish. 24 hours
ago on 730 I was getting Brother Scare which turned out to be KQPN
Arkansas, diverging from its nominal format of Yahoo Sports Radio ---
but that`s too far from LA to care about the Dodgers.

I consult the Sports Radio listings in IRCA DX Monitor June 27, to
find no 730s even circumCalifornia on the Dodger network. Any radio
roster on the Dodgers website is well-hidden, but what team are they
playing so late tonight? Colorado Rockies, and they *do* have a 730,
KLOE Goodland KS, one of our closest 730s, so that makes sense; it`s
292 miles vs 257 from KKDA TX Korean. However, NRC AM Log shows KLOE
as U1 1000/20 watts, wow! What do you bet it`s on day power. BTW,
address for it is in nearby Colby. See also 850: KOA (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 850, Sept 5 at 0454 UT, KOA Denver, silly baseball game with
*lots* of dead air --- no cheering crowd to fill the void, as the PBP
announcer just says nothing for up to 20 seconds, yawn; however there
is a trace of some kind of pulsing noise. So strong it`s QRMing 840.
This would be Colorado Rockies game vs Dodgers, axually same one I had
just heard on 730, but could not tell if same feed (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Sept 5 at 0445, JBA carrier from R. Vanuatu x 3,
qualifying now as the OSOB and therefore the SSOB! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9077-USB, Sept 5 at 0438, weak 2-way in Spanish, or
rather multi-way, mentioning putas. A couple more of these unlogged a
bit higher in the 9s (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1811 UT September 5

** 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
at TWR Bonaire where it`s S9+10. Also poorly audible at UTwente where
it`s way off-target.

Also confirmed UT Saturday Sept 5 at 0130 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20
direct, no jamming; 7780 S9+10 but much more noisy. As usual better
via UTwente SDR where it`s aimed. At Rochester 9955 is better than

** 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,

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.

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,
Enid, WOR)

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
UT on the R75 and E-W longwire, so no DFing: 567, 576, 693, 747, 828,
837, 882(2), 1089, 1098, 1107, 1116(2), 1125, 1134, 1161, 1224, 1242,
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
