BTW, KKNG was previously the call of 92.5 in OKC, EZL music as ``King FM`` long before KOMA overtook it. Sporadic-E DX sessions also allow me to encounter otherwise unheard OK stations. The DX seems to be dying out, so I QRT at 1730 UT. Besides, there`s lunch and then produxion of the next WORLD OF RADIO, 2040 for the rest of the afternoon. Sporadic chex of the Es map show MUF steadily decreasing (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 13570, June 25 at 1400, S5-S9 open carrier past 1401+.

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, June 24 at 1356-1400: just a few scattered WOOB between 15 and 11 MHz: 14850 S5-S7; 12800 S6-S8 with song in English; 12500 & 11100 JBA.
[non?] 13575, June 24 at 1442, S5-S7 music almost sounds like Firedragon; scheduled this hour only is RFA Cantonese via TINIAN; only one station audible, not sure which as ChiCom usually don`t bother to jam minolity Chinese language. CNR1 jammers, June 24 at 1440-1445: 15110, VG signal from only one station, no sign of target VOA, which means all its power this hour only via Philippines is blasting only into target China; or??? 12820, S9/+10 // 15110 in case there were any doubt; 12500, S6-S8 At 1454, 9230, S5-S8 // the others (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.9, June 24 at 0555, instead of Handel, some South? African choral music prélude to VON in Hausa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Still keeping an eye on sporadic E openings, June 24 at 1845 UT, pileups on several CB channels, always with hets since those guys can`t achieve accurate AM frequencies; also some LSB freebanders further up including one in Spanish. But I proceed to 10m beacon band where stuff can be identified: 28209-, June 24 at 1846, VVV DE N8PVL/B LIVONIA --- two different WPM speeds as heard before, from Michigan. 28264-, June 24 at 1848, DE AB8Z/B PARMA --- Ohio, also heard before; strong but deep fades. 28281, June 24 at 1851, DE W8EH EM79 --- slow CW and no /B suffix. ``28.281 W8EH C MIDDLETOWN OHIO # 8W, GP VERTICAL`` --- NJ5O list ``W8EH USA flag USA, ERNEST W HOWARD, JR, MIDDLETOWN, OH 45044 USA W8EH/BEACONS: 10 meters on 28.281 MHz in Middletown, OH.

QSL: DONALD WHITEMAN, KK9H Welcome, NS9RC is the club call of the North Shore Radio Club, Inc. Our club's web site is: http://www.ns9rc.org To help discover 10M band openings, the NSRC has been operating a propagation beacon on 28.297 MHz since 2001. It is located at the Heller Nature Center in Highland Park, IL about 27 miles north of downtown Chicago. The beacon was built from a Radio Shack HTX-100 running 5 watts out to roof mounted Cushcraft AR-10 half wave vertical at 18 ft. CW message keying is performed by an Ultimate PicoKeyer. The 10M band is open a lot more often than you think, even during periods of low sunspot activity, so be sure to check the beacon section between 28.175 and 28.300 regularly, you may be pleasantly surprised with what you hear. Reception reports are always welcome and over the years we have received them from over 30 countries and from every continent except Antarctica. We will gladly QSL if requested, just send your report to KK9H`` --- QRZ.com There were also audible a number of phone contacts above 28300, but not pursued with IDs to be sparse and imprecise. Sporadic E from this area correlates with some MUF spikes past 88 MHz, between us, so I spend a few minutes in the car circa 2030 UT, but nothing unusual in several scans of 88-102 MHz. I then retire for a semi-nap to the stereo headphone accompaniment of KUCO-FM 90.1: ``3:36 PM Symphony No. 4 in f Op 36 Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composer | Manfred Honeck, conductor | Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra,`` a terrific new performance and by a composer who moves me so deeply (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

Next and last SW repeat: 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from Ron Howard, Monterey CA, who sent a generous contribution in memory of Brian Alexander, by check in US funds on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com PayPal not necessarily in US funds as they will convert. Next WOR 2040 should be ready by early UT Friday June 26 for first SWBC at 2200 on WRMI 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, June 24 at 1455, NO signal from World`s Last Chance Radio via WBCQ-6. Another crash? Now what`s wrong. No word about this yet from an Allan twit, last one dated June 23 when it was still operative. However I do have a weak carrier on 9333.0, not noticed before with or without 9330. Still off past 1500, and 9333 still on past 1503, S4-S6 open carrier. About an hour later, remotes do not hear either one. Next check 1842, still no 9330, while 9333 JBA carrier is fadive so unseems local. Speaking of flat-earthers, here`s a perfect gift, and it`s cheap: ``I ran into this entirely by accident today. https://www.sciplus.com/spinning--political-earth-cube-globe-64555-p William "Bill" Tilford, Owner/Producer, Tilford Productions, LLC`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17775-, June 24 at 1843, KVOH S7-S8 with a trace? of modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Just had a call from George McClintock, Nashville TN, that he is getting WNOE, Atlanta GA on 1690, oldies, as late as 1450 UT, rather late on a long day for skywave. I wonder if it`s sporadic E affecting MF. WNOE was 1060 in New Orleans, still a call there on FM. Not yet as such in FCC, or radio-locator.com --- 1690 was WMLB, I think gone for a while. 73, (Glenn Hauser, OK, June 23, WOR) Glenn: Don't you believe that it's WNOE. I assume he misheard the calls {But see below!} I tuned 1690 in when I saw your email. They were playing "Georgia," it was followed by a station ID of WMLB, Avondale Estates-Atlanta at 11:41 a.m. EDT. The station has been on the air intermittently for the past year. I've heard no live announcers or anything other than old interviews and music. I've seen them run a notice in the Atlanta newspaper about seeking to renew their license. I think these broadcasts are just intended to keep the station active for that purpose, so that it's not deemed dark. There's nothing different in what I'm hearing today than what I've heard for months. mc (Mike Cooper, Atlanta) Sounds like George is simply mistaking the callsign when he's hearing it. http://www.topazdesigns.com/ambc still shows the call as WMLB. {but see below!} Here's a post from "Harry S." in Buford, GA on radiodiscussions.com from approx. 6 weeks ago that may shed some light on what's going on: "Today (Thursday, May 7, 2020) WMLB 1690 AM switched from the continuous loop of testing announcements and the same music loop regular station announcements every other song (no mention of "testing) and a larger variety of music played. This was interspersed with old public service interviews conducted with Jeff Davis (former PD for 1160) with various local individuals that are leading groups in the area such as Georgia State Patrol recruiting and Veterans Affairs Jobs in the Atlanta area among other guests." Although I'm sure the DXers on this board near Atlanta would disagree, this is one expanded band station that I wouldn't mind having return (I still WMLB for my logbooks up here). WVON is my only real consistent visitor on 1690 here at night, although KDMT will make the occasional visit to Omaha. 73, Rick Dau, on the road in Davenport, Iowa`` Glenn, They gave the WNOE ID Atlanta this morning. At 9:35pm tonight I heard the WMLB ID. At 9:44pm tonight I heard the WNOE Atlanta ID --- Weird. George McClintock 6-23-2020`` Yes, NOE does ``rhyme`` with MLB. Could 1690 be relaying feed from New Orleans with its IDs intermixed? (Glenn) They ID "WNOE Atlanta". (George 6-24-2020) Meanwhile, 1608-1630+ UT June 24, I have been listening to 1690 via KiwiSDR in Knoxville-Oak Ridge --- some good peaks, fadeouts. One Kiwi in Jasper GA is unavailable and uncovers MW anyway; a couple in Alabama don`t get it. Oldies, IDs between every 2 or 3 songs so far only as ``This is WMLB-AM, 1690 kHz, Avondale Estates -- Atlanta``. At 1617 ``stay safe`` which would seem to refer to something current in 2020y. Recognizable tunes between 1608 and 1644 included: Be My Love, Tequila, Her Tender Lips, Who`s Cryin` Now, Good Golly, Miss Molly; Crazy, That`ll Be the Day, Chantilly Lace. George says the ``WNOE`` IDs just say Atlanta, not with the city of license Avondale Estates. Also before 1600 they were in a talk show rather than music. And: ``In all fairness to people that heard the ID with the correct city of licensee, I did not actually hear a legal ID at the top of the hour or 45 minutes delayed by programming as required by the FCC. The IDs were several times during the hour with different call letters. This still seems strange. George McClintock 6-24-2020`` GH: continuing on 1690 via Knoxville: 1644 UT suddenly switches to ``Atlanta`s Business from News-Talk 1160``, interview. Her ``left leg completely rotted to the hip``, etc. Yuk. It appears that 1160 is currently ``The Quest, Atlanta`s Catholic Radio`` with EWTN. FB as WCFO Newstalk 1160 stopped after March 2018. So 1690 is playing old stuff from another station? While playing music the cuts were 2 minutes max; seems they were truncated. Will try to hear any ToH ID at least. The interview continued until 1707 UT with no break, concluding with plug for a related event on September (or December?) 9, and the woman with the leg problem was Amy Copeland; 1708 another canned WMLB ID, back to music, 1711 segue, 1714 segue, 1716 ID, 1718 tune, 1721 La Bamba, 1723 segue, 1726 Georgia, etc., etc.; fading weaker into noise level, so 1735 tune-out without my ever hearing a ``WNOE`` ID. BUT: Mike Cooper, Atlanta, reports at 2032 UT June 24 to the WOR iog: ``Now I've heard this bizarre ID, as well. Apologies for suggesting this was misheard, by George. I've heard the WNOE ID, as well, just minutes away from an WMLB ID. Maybe they plan to change the call letters? I didn't find anything in FCC AM database on WNOE. As I write this, am listening to an interview with a Georgia State Patrolman, done by host who refers to 1160, which was a business-news station then-owned by the current owner of WMLB. Odd.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Here`s another oddity --- I also heard over the phone from George. ``"This is a test of the text to speech system" over and over. I can hear it solid around Nashville, TN. 1680 AM. When in a fixed location including my house, the signal does not vary. It`s on the same frequency as one of the TN department of transportation transmitters which is under the "This is a test ....." station. George McClintock 6-24-2020, 1613 UT`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 12302-USB, June 24 at 1446, informal Spanish 2-way ragchew, some whistling, stronger one with ``engine noise``, S9-S8; weaker one slightly off frequency; IDs? Of course not! Per Klingenfuss 2002y, 12302-SSB was a ship station channel 1225 paired with QSX 13149.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0016 UT June 25

** GUATEMALA. 4055, June 24 circa 0300, TGAV VP vs storm noise via TWR Brownsville SDR, and none closer; JBA or worse at Colombia, Bonaire, DR.
Ulis Fleming reports to the WOR iog June 23: ``Radio Verdad has (had?) a nice 7th harmonic on 28385 kHz in the 10 meter amateur radio band that is audible here in Maryland when the MUF is there or E-Skip going on. I have used it as a beacon to Central America. Good luck! Ulis`` Harmonic from TGAV? A new one on me. Must look out for 28385. I don`t recall any lower ones ever reported, which would likely radiate more power, but they all fall way-out-of-band, like the fundamental, so could escape notice. Since X 7 is odd, the other *odds X 3 and X 5 may be more likely than the evens. Vigilate: 8110, *12165, 16220, *20275, 24330. Should turn them loose like Vanuatu? Also, Chuck Gessner, W3ON tells us June 23, ``I received a nice email from Dr. Edgar Madrid, who operates the 'Radio Verdad', Chiquimula short wave radio station in Guatemala on 4055 kHz. It operates mostly during the daylight hours in Guatemala but can be heard prior to local U.S. sunrise, then fade out. Then again from our U.S. sunset through the darkness hours in the U.S. He reported that the COVID19 virus has not affected people in Chiquimula, although most are staying home. He reported that it took four months for my early January letter to reach him. He further reported that "Radio Verdad has not ceased operation, except that we sometimes operate automatically, mostly by night. We are transmitting to some countries with 'Radio Truth International' too. We are now in the effort to send our signal to the United States with all power. I expect your report whenever you pick up Radio Truth with a very strong signal, which does not require antennas. It may be very soon. I am receiving reports from Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil with our new strong signal already. We are struggling to make all that possible. May God be with you and take care of your good health. Dr. Édgar Amílcar Madrid email: radioverdad5@yahoo.com web site: https://radioverdad.org/ "`` ``very strong signal without antennas`` --- so he`s still buying in to that scam we haven`t heard him mention for well over a year, and which I repeatedly tried to warn him about. But he is a man of faith. Just keep sending them quetzales (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, June 24 at 0350, anti-Christ pirate, Station YHWH in well via Sedona AZ SDR, but certainly not local with fading; tnx to tip from Rick Barton, further south in AZ. Also tried the S California SDRs, but little or no signal there. Blames New World Order. 0355 ``emergency transmission; so long, peace``, quote from Jeremiah, 0357 theme song `Days of Hard Life`. 0400 ID, ``Station YHWH, my name is Josiah Elias, Pacific time is about 9 o`clock``; and more talk but fading into the noise. 0401 ``Station YHWH now signing off`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5850, UT Wed June 24 at 0123 check, this WRMI-12 has B.B. ID for ``greatest music of all time``, i.e. Oldies, a term not used on the air. Webskedgrid shows `Power of Wd` is supposed to air now. 5850, UT Wed June 24 at 0200, I am sure to check out the new `Quorum Radio` --- Starts with 3-2-1 countdown, ``Good evening, North America, Quorum Radio now on the air``, right into interviewing guest Sean DeGrilla(??) author of the 2000+th book about the Kennedy assassination; thinx he has proof that Oswald was a patsy, from analyzing his voice, comparing his AM and FM frequencies (huhhh??). One more conspiracy theory, so 10 minutes is plenty of that. Nothing about Q.R. yet on the WRMI Programming page. Strange, I had the impression it was a music request show; well, sort of, per this from WRMI via disgraced FB: ``WRMI Radio Miami International June 16 at 11:46 AM · [zone??] QUORUM RADIO offers interesting guests and eclectic music for its North American audience. Its founder is Bill McIntosh of https://www.ocasomedia.net/ Have a music request? Drop Bill a line at: ocasomedia@gmail.com Quorum Radio can be heard on WRMI at: 0200-0300 UTC Tuesday and Wednesday on 5850 kHz 0400-0430 UTC Tuesday and Wednesday at www.wrmi.net (Internet only) 2000-2100 UTC Tuesday and Wednesday on 9455 kHz Bill McIntosh Image may contain: one or more people and closeup`` Self-portrait has behind his left shoulder what appears to be a picture of JC & Mary? Nothing about Peru on homepage, and has a (305) phone number, no physical address for contact. One of the testimonials mentions that he`s a guy in Peru; apparently his main business is PR, getting ``event speaker`` clients booked on other media. The website is (C) 2023, so maybe all this be futurism (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, June 24 at 0127, WTWW-2 with rock music, a Ted-ded, rather than his QSO ham show; the competing `Amateur Radio Roundtable` may still be on 5130 WBCQ UT Wednesdays 0100-0230, but JBA and can`t make out any modulation; 6159.9 is on but a JBA carrier probably with Hal Turner // 7490 tho websked has no such details for 6160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17775-, June 24 at 1751, KVOH with S9-S8 of dead air; for what purpose? How about as a propagation beacon of 50 kW when I can`t hear the other Californian, K6FRC with 1.8 milliwatts on 13565. But by 1913, 17775 achieves some undermodulated music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, June 24 at 0042, JBA carrier, so I wonder if it could be 3 x 3945 RV already? Ron Howard has been hearing it earlier and earlier such as June 23 from 0231, an hour before his beach sunset, but maybe that`s just when he tuned in. The only other 11835 is CNR2: straight thru from 00 to 13 except siesta break Wednesdays at 06-09 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0440 UT June 24

Tuesday, June 23 2020
** AUSTRIA [or non?]. Re my June 17 log on 5930, Wolfgang Bueschel replied:
``AUSTRIA/OMAN, BBC London Dari language service towards AFG noted on June 19th at 0030 UT program start. 5930even via ORS Moosbrunn Austria relay site, SELDOM SEEN from Moosbrunn: accompanied by two BUZZ strings either sideband, +/- 100, 200 Hertz BUZZ string distance visible and heard too. Annoying sound character. Birds chirp twitter like radioplay program for children heard in Dari language. S=9+15dB strength at 0030 UT noted in Liverpool, England backlobe. S=7-8 -80dBm fair backlobe signal in remote Perseus unit at AJ1L in Massachusetts US state east coast. S=9+20dB in remote Perseus at Athens Greece at 0038 UT. S=9+15dB in remote Perseus at Doha Qatar ME. also 6195even via ENC Encompass Digital Media Services, (ex Babcock) relay site at Al Seela OMA, S=9+20dB, weak and tiny signals at Greece, Germany, and Liverpool in England. 73 wb df5sx (June 19 at 00.40 UT)`` So what do you think about this? I cannot tell whether you doubt it`s really Moosbrunn, rather Oman; or it is Moosbrunn, but defective? (gh) ``In past decade ORF / ORS Vienna Moosbrunn never went odd fq, and also not happened at ex Babcock Al Seela Oman. Signal from Oman and UAE would be very low on Tulsa / Enid target in wild western Drumpfland. so I guess: there remains a question mark about the 5930 reception center origin on that day (wolfie, June 23)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** AUSTRIA. 9630+, June 23 at 0512, slightly off-frequency LAH from something, Aparecida, Brasil reactivated? But choral singing sounds too African. 0514 tonal African language talk interspersed, mentions Rwanda? Not on at 0620 recheck. Aoki/NDXC shows at 0500-0530 it`s AWR in Hausa via AUSTRIA. When I measured it, I got 9630.001 or .002, so I may have made a mistake vs hearing a LAH with BFO on 1-kHz stepping (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 12030, June 23 at 0626, S7-S9 of dead air, the SSOB as hardly any signals but JBA carriers are audible on the 25m band. At first thought maybe REE SPAIN testing, as Ivo has reported them sometimes doing that during off-hours; but no equivalent signals from anything in Europe. Aoki/NDXC shows at 0600-0629 it`s supposed to be BBC French via Pinheira. Was the entire semihour silent? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 9830, June 23 at 2200, no signal from VOT today; altho I do not get around to rechecking later in the hour, since at 2200 my first priority is BBC World News America on PBS/OETA --- but the feed *into* OETA keeps breaking up; so I switch to World channel, OETA-2, which runs France 24 news at same time, certainly would be worthwhile when not eclipsed by simulBBC, except F24 employs a lot of original languages so you may have to keep an eye on screen all the time for open captioning translation; even some French is so rapid and idiomatic that I can hardly follow it. And at 2230 it`s over to CBS and/or NBC TV News. If I can stay awake having missed an earlier naptime. But I digressed. Back at 2200 Monday I also quickchecked 9690 to find SPAIN on the air and starting English, but signal less solid than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2039 monitoring: confirmed Monday June 22 from 1800.5 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria, via UTwente SDR; rough modulation and splash from 7280/7300 inevitable, but no interruptions noted in spotchex until finale at 1829.5, ``...standard dis---`` claimer cut off, into music fill. I tuned in about 1756 when Iran was already off but IRRS not yet on. IRRS cut on at *1758 big open carrier diminishing splash and 7291 RTTY but not eliminating them. 1759 JIP modulation of unknown report in progress about FB and AI systems; 1800 cut that off for simple IRRS ID, not full sign-on, right into quick FSN headlines from Washington, and WOR starting in about one semiminute. Also confirmed UT Tue June 23 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, VG at UTwente. Next: 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from Ron Howard, Monterey CA, who sent a generous contribution in memory of Brian Alexander, by check in US funds on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com PayPal not necessarily in US funds as they will convert. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9395, UT Tue June 23 at 0247, WRMI with unknown far-right, far-Christian talk show interviewing an author. I put up with it hoping for some program ID, but none heard as it stopped at 0257.5 for Spanish hymn fill music, 0259.5 WRMI ID, 0300 another (same?) untitled talk show now about the precarious (?) financial situation of Wells Fargo. There is nothing to account for this on the WRMI skedgrids. Transmission sked shows 9395 with System F before 0300, then System C = Overcomer. BTW, what I was hearing not // Overcomer or any other WRMI. The individual System program grids do not show any such thing: 9395 not on System C until 0400; System F only on 5850 before 0300. System G does show 9395 starting at 0300 with Oldies. Sigh; sadly, just another example of totally contradictory, incomplete, outofdate WRMI scheduling info. That reminds me, I forgot again to check out the new show by that guy in Perú wanting contact with N American SWLs, `Quorum Radio`, UT Tuesday 0200-0300 on 5850, but it plays again (or a different episode?) UT Wednesday 0200-0300 on 5850. I`ve already set an ATS-909 alarum for 0158 and hope I can then remember what`s it for (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1656 UT June 23
