Hauser
** CHINA. CNR1 jamming survey, July 7: at 1335, 13530 in Chinese, S7
to S9+10.

From 1340: 13070 S7-S9; 12880 S8-S9; 11440 S3-S4 with flutter; 11150*
JBA; 11100 S6-S8; 11070 S1-S3.

At 1358: 14500, JBA carrier.

Rescan the above ranges shortly after 1400: ALL above frequencies
off.

At 1453: 11460, JBA Chinese.

*BTW: the local wideband noiseblobs I first complained about weeks
ago, at approx. 360-kHz intervals in the 7-11+ MHz range are still
there but quite a bit weaker than originally; no doubt OG&E has quit
working on that problem unless I keep after them. One peak QRMs the
11150 above, and another is centered about 9395, bad news for hearing
anything on WRMI-6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13766 & 13635 approx., July 7 at 1339, JBA spurblobs out of
13700 RHC, plus & minus 64-65 kHz, trace of F# tones, first time
detected in weeks, but hardly up to par. Something`s always wrong at
RHC. 1446 recheck still trace about 13635 while 13700 rates S9 to
S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, July 7 at 1451, S9+20 open carrier already on warming
up for CRI Plus relay in English, now restricted to only one hour from
1500. Unknown how much then managed to modulate (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7290, July 7 at 1756, via UTwente SDR, checking IRRS
Tuesday since on Monday at least half of the following hour was dead
air, possibly all of it instead of WORLD OF RADIO --- did anyone hear
it then, or try to? Open carrier on at tune-in, VG signal with usual
QRM de 7291 RTTY and splashes from 10 kHz plus and minus; a few sex
before 1759 cut on modulation amid Aïda theme --- which is not always
to be heard at all; just before 1800 very brief sign-on and right into
`Feature Story News` for 5 minutes, not just headlines, starting with
Bolsonaro gets it, CV situation in Australia; 1803 sports segment.
1805 no program intro but a fan of Danny Doyle starts talking and
eventually plays a song of his; very Irish. He died last August, so
this is not news now:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Doyle_(singer)
Ireland, you know, is the real corporate HQ of IRRS, not Italy; tax
haven?

1832 recheck, still modulating and `AWR Wavescan` is underway, same as
heard earlier via Zambia, first item about past clandestines in New
Hebrides/Vanuatu. Later about Gough Island, beyond Tristan da Cunha,
whence we learn it`s pronounced Goff, as webresearch suggests, even
tho there are no inhabitants now to ask.
https://www.howtopronounce.com/gough
Like ``cough`` tho one example is more like ``guff``. Recheck 1858
whether `WS` will get chopped off like Dan Roberts? Yes, IRRS sign-off
at 1859, but only as Jeff is reciting the postal address in closing
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11820.045, July 7 circa 2000, Arabic bits alternating
with Qur`aning, JBA but sufficiently soporific to accompany my
napping. This SBC always off+frequency plus (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12050, July 7 at 1402, WEWN Spanish frequency is S9 of dead
air; by 1450 recheck now is modulating RCC stuff. English still AWOL
from 15610 at 1924 check, while 15825 WWCR, q.v., is 20 over 9 at
about same megameter distance, different angle clockwiser (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15825, July 7 at 1925, WWCR has sporadic E boost to S9+20,
enhancing the #1 squeal, but wait, there`s MORE: Double audio at equal
levels, not only TOMBS as scheduled, but some other gospel huxter
aiming for children, including kidsongs about Jeezus. I compare to
other WWCRs and other BS: 9980, WWCR-4 is blasting with Overcomer
alone; 9455, WRMI likewise; not // other WWCRs, 12160 with political
huxter, and 13845 with Dead Gene Scott; BTW, 13845 is relatively weak
compared to 12160 & 15825, which does not make sense propagationally;
must axually be underpowered.

But what is the second audio? At 2023 I concentrate on that for a
while; maybe same program, closing with contact info including website
several times, reallifewithjackkidd.org --- not sure about the Kidd as
he never spells it. Also phone 877-777-2346, and P O Box 12, somewhere
with ZIP 91709; 2025 into USA Radio News, which of course is also
far-right, far-Christian slanted, a perfect fit.

91709 is Chino Hills, San Bernardino county, California. Since the
other WWCR transmitters are otherwise occupied, could this be bleeding
from co-located AM subsidiary, 1300 WNQM?

No program schedule at http://www.1300wnqm.com/
but does list programs for linkages without times at
http://www.1300wnqm.com/pgm-links_wnqm.html
but nothing resembling that described above.

Suddenlink search is smart enough to figure out it`s really this:
https://reallifewithjackhibbs.org/
So direct look at it:

https://reallifewithjackhibbs.org/listen/
leading to what matches today`s very episode: ``Being A Christian
While Being A Kid – C - July 7, 2020 - Colossians 1:9-14``

Those verses are about indoctrination, per my free NIV pocket ``The
Way for Cowboys`` Bible handed out years ago at an Enid Expo home
show. Of course, kids are religion-free until elders start implanting
something. And thence to

https://reallifewithjackhibbs.org/stationlisting/
including, before I even get to Tennessee, filed between DC and
Florida!:

``europe & africa
City Station Frequency Day & Time
Shortwave WWCR 15.825 MHz M-F 3:00 PM``
In Eu & Af you have to know to convert CDT to local time!

Never mind WNQM, not on the roster. Belatedly I check WWCR-1 program
sked, and bingo, there is Real Radio, with Jack Hibbs M-F at 2000-2030
UT, so B.S. is the intruder now on 15825, not vice versa.

There is probably a pot dedicated to TOMBS on the audio mixer feeding
#1 transmitter, which has been left open as well as the intended
program source. Can it be that at 1300 WWCR Avenue, no one is
listening to their own station? Then how can they expect anyone else
to? I certainly would not unless I run across something wacko like
this. Vying with RHC for SAWA status?

Paul Buch in California also noticed this double audio at 1905
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555-USB, July 7 at 1448, trace of talk i.e. WJHR Milton
FL, seldom audible; much like the level of 15034-USB Trenton Military
on hardly propagable band without sporadic E (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 27385-LSB, July 7 at 1930, pileup of freebanders on the
most active frequency, with sporadic E regnant here and on regular CB
channels, if not the 10m beaconband. One mentions ``on the shore of
Lake Erie``; another, ``Kentucky``; at 1946, ``107, 14-14, Chicago ...
73s and enjoy your DX``. It seems the FBers have some kind of
numerical ID system. Can anyone explain or even reference a roster?
More such activity on 27375-LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** CUBA. 11670, July 7 at 0046, S9+10/20 of dead air from RHC; 11800
is also S9+10/20 but just barely modulated; always flanked by
parasitic JBA spurs 11790 & 11810, no modulation audible as
occasionally can achieve. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Was still
tuned to 11670 after Spain check at 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690 VG > 12030 G > 11940 F >> 11670 no signal, Monday July
6 tune-in shortly after 2200, REE already playing music, but soon
Justin Coe about flamenco and jazz, the M/W/F English (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, July 6 at 2203, no signal from VOT English to us, nor
any NSS RTTY. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2041 monitoring: not confirmed the
Monday July 6 at 1801 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria; did anyone hear it? I
was late tuning in after lunch at 1831 and by then it was dead air!
Carrier on vs RTTY 7291 warble and usual splatter from 7280 Vietnam,
but no modulation; nor at recheck 1853 during which the SW Report
should have partially aired. I fear that the first semihour was also
dead. As monitored via UTwente SDR, of course.

No luck either UT Tuesday July 7 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, this one off
the air, not even a JBA carrier, while the others on 7730 & 7570 were
inbooming. 7780 still AWOL at 0125 and past 0200. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 15610, July 6 at 2023 check; and 9385, July 7 at 0055 & 0323
chex, WEWN English still missing from both frequencies; but 5970
Spanish still extant at 0055 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860.012, July 7 at 0048, Qur`an and Cuban pulse
jamming adding up to S7-S9, must be Republic of Yemen Radio via one of
the Sa`udi sites. Seldom heard anymore, let alone in our mornings like
it used to be, of course blocked by Radio Martí at 14-22, and Cuban
jamming even prolonger. Not in HFCC A-20, nor anything from Sa`udi
Arabia. Aoki shows ROYR sked as 02-23, EiBi and WRTH Update as 02-22,
and this is after all the nightmiddle there. It might have expanded to
24h during Ramadan, but that`s long gone. Nothing else in any of them
until China/Tibet after 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

11170 JBAC; 11460 JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 6045, July 6 at 1339, nothing but noise jamming. Ron
Howard upon Asilomar State Beach, California, agrees: ``KOREA
NORTH/SOUTH. 6045, Voice of Freedom, on 1119+, on July 6. Totally
blocked by super strong white noise jamming from N. Korea. The former
enjoyable reception of VOF has come to an end for the time being!``

I also have an unjammed? signal on 5990, presumably Echo of Hope,
South to North Korea as Ron also confirms (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 13760.2, July 6 at 1346, JBA carrier presumed still
VOK knocked off frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2041 monitoring: confirmed new time of 0030
UT Monday July 6 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+10/20, the only frequency on
285-degree azimuth from Okee, which crosses: Houston TX; just south of
Nogales, Sonora; right on Honolulu; Port Moresby; but plenty signal
here 30 degrees offbeam, second only to 315 on 7570, 5850. Just prior
at 0029.5, an Allen Graham in Quito ID and a fragment of Bob Zanotti
in Berne, all he gets out is his name before I interrupt him without
intending to.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 6 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 vs high
storm noise level almost exactly off the side of this 44-degree beam;
this time at 0129.5 a Rudy Espinal ID, and again a fragment of BZ,
why?

Also confirmed UT Monday July 6 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, VG at Maine SDR

Also confirmed UT Monday July 6 starting at 0301:45 on Area 51 via
WBCQ 5130, S9+10/20 including storm crashes.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 6 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG at TWR
Bonaire; good at Pardinho SP Brasil where slight jamming is audible
under. Next:

1800vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy

** U S A. Re: ``15610, July 4 at 2010, zero signal from WEWN, not even
a JBA carrier which is normally there at minimum afternoons; while
15825 WWCR is S9+10/20; 15770 WRMI S7-S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)`` Ivo
Ivanov, Bulgaria replies:

``Also July 6 at 0500, zero signal from WEWN on 9385 kHz, scheduled
0000-0900 UT -- 73! Ivo Ivanov`` --- So their English transmitter(s)
down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17815, Monday July 6 at 1452, open carrier S9/+10, quickly
turned off. Probably WHRI test; available 14-21 daily but normally
used only on Sundays --- or so I thought until checking

https://familybroadcastingcorporation.com/whr/whr-iframe-page/?search=Angel1
which claims `Angel 1` runs 17.815 every day at 19-22 except for a
switch to 17540 at 2105-2130, which I also find hard to believe;
exaggerated scheduling beyond axual SW usage? Mostly just Music with
IRN News on the hour, hardly worth the watts.

It also claims Angel 6 on 7385 not only most of the night, but all day
long! Don`t you believe it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, Saturday July 4 at 1830, RTA International
via FRANCE, again with beepery, but no English, just Arabic, 1836 into
Spanish with lite French accent but also has to pronounce properly
names in Arabic. Via UTwente SDR. Richard Langley, NB reports there
was no English during entire 18-19 hours July 3 or 4:

``It seems they take pieces of the different language segments from
the programs on their Internet/FM/satellite broadcasts (in English,
for example):
https://www.radioalgerie.dz/rai/en/emissions/list

Some information (in English) about Radio Algérie Internationale:
https://www.radioalgerie.dz/rai/en/emissions/list%EF%BB%BF

The "funky" transmitter was used again today for the international
broadcast. -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12200, July 5 at 0607, RHC English, undermodulated S9 vs
CODAR, unlike fundamental 6100. Maybe Esperanto at 0700 was on 12200
too? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** DJIBOUTI [non]. 17870, Sunday July 5 at 1401, no signal here from
LV de Djibouti as scheduled, but a poor/fair signal via UTwente,
spotchecked rest of hour, all talk in unknown language until 1458 a
bit of HOA vocal music and off 1459*. I notified the WOR iog of this
ASAP but at presstime only Ivo Ivanov replied at 1859:

``Good signal here, 1400 in Afar, 1415 in Somali, 1430 in French, 1445
in Arabic and 1457 again in Afar. Probably tx is Secretbrod [BULGARIA]
or per Aoki is Grigoriopol [PRIDNESTROVYE]``.

Website provides audio and texts of broadcasts in May, which were then
weekly, but none since 22 May:
https://lavoixdedjibouti.info/

Christian Ghibaudo reported on June 21 to bdxc-news: ``The latest
broadcast is on their Facebook page. It's June 19, there is a weekly
broadcast on Friday (Radio Vendredi). They broadcast again on
shortwave because the government of Djibouti has cut the Internet in
the country, making listening difficult. The association La Voix de
Djibouti is based in Paris. Regards from Sunny Nice, Christian
Ghibaudo.``

A week ago, Ivo reported to the WOR iog: ``BELGIUM(non) BRB Radio LVD

** U S A. ``Hello Glenn, Happy 4th of July, Based on SDR trolling and
some listener check-ins, the WBCQ 4th of July in the Park should have
done OK near you although there was some storm activity in parts of
the region. The next special will be Labor Day, again a multi-program
effort. Although I am serving as cat-herder as Uncle Bill, the larger
purpose is to showcase WBCQ's music programs generally, and I hope
that the other programs (Marion's Attic, Behavior Night, Lost Discs,
Rock Wave and others) also attract new listeners, and perhaps this
might even inspire some aspiring radio host to start a new program as
well. At a minimum, we hope to serve as a reminder that music on
licensed broadcast shortwave (not just pirates) is very much alive.
Best, William "Bill" Tilford, Owner/Producer, Tilford Productions,
LLC`` 0222 UT July 5. My reply:

``Hi Bill, Enjoyed it. Since I was at the computer instead of the SW
radio, I could not resist listening via the WBCQ stream. I am ashamed?
Anyhow some of it was in $ tereo and the scratches were clearer, hi. As
you know, SW from `BCQ is not the best here, even without storms, and
especially without 500 kW. In scheduling, you might want to consider
possible competition from --- TV, as PBS, CNN and NBC were all
starting their 4OJ specials at same time. Your fireworx were hard to
see``

We proudly flew the American Flag all day (as well as on Flag Day)
until sunset; the only one visible in our neighborhood. (There used to
be a constant Confederate flag a block south, but maybe it wore out).

little to show for it, mainly traces of DX CCI to fringe semi-open
frequencies. Quit at 1832. unIDs include:
1732, 92.1 mentions Hagerstown, likely MD or IN, but none right there
1734, 106.7, CCI to OK Spanish
1739, 95.3, CCI to KOKC translator
1744, 93.1, trace of Spanish CCI to KS
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** ZAMBIA. 11680, Sunday July 5 at 0600, AWR Wavescan #593 via VOHA,
good S9, another episode about early radio in New Hebrides/Vanuatu
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 27385-LSB, July 4 around 2000, very active freebander
channel, in English, yet no beacons audible above 28200 --- so sharp
Es MUF cutoff between them ATM? BTW, why does everyone on CB speak
with an exaggerated GOB Southern accent; required? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ALGERIA [non]. 7295, July 4 at 0543, RTA, Arabic via FRANCE with
the self-QRMing beeping Issoudun transmitter. BTW, that was also
applied to 13820 during the July 2 English segment around 1830; but
you never know which transmitter will be in use at which time on which
frequency of RTA, RFI, or some other relay, from one day to the next
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 4 at 1357: 13160 S4; 12820 JBA
carrier; 12800 S9 in Chinese.

At 1423, 13160, S7-S9 music; 1424: 10820 S4-S5; 10920 JBA; 11120;
11440 S5-S6; 11460 JBA carrier; 1428: 13530 JBA.

WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, July 3 at 1409, JBA talk here, presumed 2 x 6000 RHC,
which quickly checked is still on and barely audible, but 12000 gone
at 1410*. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, July 3 at 1415, RHC is absent when this is supposed to
be on; 15230 is on but S9-S7 of dead air, or JBM? Something`s always
wrong at RHC. July 4 at 1400 both are on and modulating, VP (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12200, July 4 at 0547, RHC English at S5-S9 vs CODAR, quite
audible but not as big as last time on 2 x 6100. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 13760.2, July 4 at 1429, JBA carrier from presumed VOK
still way off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

back now that WWCR-4 has been repaired and reactivated; see also USA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9830, July 3 at 2230, VOT, English to NAm
confirmed active today via KiwiSDR Pardinho SP Brasil which I happened
to have just checked for WOR/WRMI; but with heavy splash from much
bigger signal on 9820; at first thought it might be SP`s local R 9 de
Julho, 9818v, but in Chinese, so HFCC as CNR, 150 kW, 290 degrees from
Xi`an; specifically CNR2 per Aoki/NDXC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28281-CW, July 3 at 1420, beacon ID W8E? copied, probably
this which fits with another letter, from WJ5O roster:
``28.281 W8EH C MIDDLETOWN OHIO # 8W, GP VERTICAL``

Sporadic E; in the previous minute also had one on 28205; and on 28255
a K6##, but none listed around there.

28280-CW, July 3 at 1424, dash and ``DE K5AB ... CENTRAL TEXAS...``
also heard a few days ago, now VG at peaks:
``28.280 K5AB C GOLDTHWAITE, TEXAS # 50W, GP VERTICAL Power increase 5
May 16``
Lots of hets on CB, and WWCR 15825 & 13845 also Es-enhanced (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490v, 6160v, 5130v, UT Sat July 4 after 0000, for AAAWWW,
these WBCQs are detectable, very poor signals with storm noise; all I
hear at a quick check is Angela overmodulating an opinion on current
events.

Has been repeating 24 hours later on 7490v at least, but not this
week, as UT Sun July 5 at 0000-0100 is when Uncle Bill`s
much-publicized 4th of July musical special is due, on 7490+v and
6159.9v.

Unfortunately simultaneously with `A Capitol Fourth` on PBS-TV, but
repeated a sesquihour later at least on OETA; and CNN`s 4OJ special at
0000-0400 UT, not to mention countless local events, including Enid,
where the Enid Symphony Orchestra is barreling ahead with its
traditional performance at Meadowlake Park despite the risks; people
are encouraged to spread out as there is plenty of space around the
lake, but in best of times getting in and out is problematic, e.g.
avoiding those burning poison gas, i.e. smokers who think it`s OK as
long as it`s outside; and parking is a nightmare.

I urged conductor Doug Newell to reconsider; what about the musicians
crammed under the canopy? The windy ones at least cannot be masked.
How about recording and/or broadcasting it? He says they don`t have
the rights to do so, which would be an additional expense.

The concert is always free to the public, underwritten this year by
Security National Bank. Starts around 0130 UT after a full day
schedule of other risky events at the Park, and to accompany fireworx
circa 0230 when it`s finally darkening.

To avoid the hassles, the past few years we have been attending
instead dress rehearsals at 4 pm Saturday back in Symphony Center, but
not this year in that enclosed and possibly crowded venue. The
fireworx can of course be seen from a considerable distance away, but
the music inaudible. Years before I had tried to get them to employ a
Part 15 FM transmitter for better sound than over the loudspeakers,
and maybe audible just outside the park in cars. Nix.

ESO apparently is itching to get going again with no performances
since March, the final scheduled concert of the year, an all-Beethoven
bash in April for season subscribers only, postponed. BTW, there
aren`t enough local musicians to form an orchestra, so ESO has to draw
in others from elsewhere in OK. As a 51-K city, we are lucky to have
it and hope all of them survive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, July 3 at 2044, NO signal from WRMI-9 when RFPI is
scheduled on Fridays; normally a JBA carrier at least; while 15825
WWCR & 15610 WEWN do now achieve that much (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7385, July 4 at 0236, this WHRI is now squealing, like 7315
VOV relay previously; now 7315 is also on in English not // gospel
huxters, and also squealing.

9825, July 4 at 0555, WHRI squealing here too with g.h., maybe one of
same transmitters as earlier on 7 MHz. Haven`t they noticed in Cypress
Creek, Furman, Noblesville or South Bend?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, July 4 at 0239, WWCR-4 is back on, non-TOM during this
hour, following several days off for repairs. Day frequency 9980 also
resumed at 1654 check, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also SOUTH
CAROLINA [non]

UNIDENTIFIED. 12670.0-USB, July 4 at 1359, 2-way in Spanish, one of
them screaming, encountered as I bandscan for CNR1 jammers. Per
Klingenfuss 2002y, this was not a ship SSB frequency, but WNU New
Orleans was in CW/DIG on 12670.4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
