** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Jan 8 at 1451, no signal from LRA36
into Brasil SDR this Saturday. Maybe really on summer hiatus now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 4925-, Jan 8 at 0230, JBA talk, S8/9 with some flutter,
presumed the only station known on 4925, R. Educação Rural, Tefé,
Amazonas, known to be active but seldom heard here. Slightly low in
frequency compared to WWV 5000.00000. WRTH & Aoki claim until 0200*,
but EiBi to 0300* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 1610 kHz, UT Sat Jan 8 at 0253, CHHA Toronto is in Tagalog
about Philippine elexion, some English words mixed in, then New Year
song in English, or rather recitation with music background. Year-old
program grid:
http://chha1610am.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Parrilla-CHHA-ENE-2021.jpg
does show a Tagalog hour at 02-03 UT Tue-Sat. Website goes mainly by
call letters, but also Radio Voces Latinas. Some time ago I heard a
slogan ``La Voz de la Comunidad`` and this was spread widely as a
change from ``R-V-L-``, without any credit to me. On air I am not at
all sure there has been a formal change from one to the other. Perhaps
the `new` slogan should be lower-case. Note: Tagalog, as well as
Punjabi, English, also on sked are not Latinas! While Italian,
Portuguese, Spanish, do qualify (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 8 at 0240, RHC English is S9+20/30 but
undermodulated with whine; while // 9700 only S8/9 but better
modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4030-AM, Jan 8 at 0233, JBA music. These say it`s
Ball Smacker Radio:

Just before, I had heard no pirates on the 6.9 MHz band (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. The FCC website in last report is the one that leads to this
one I meant to link directly: Status of FCC HF Licensees:

Includes imaginary stations KIMF, WIPE, WHRI, something in Alaska
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 880, UT Sat Jan 8 at 0557, I`m checking remotes
near to KJJR Whitefish MT, an hour before its DX test is to begin, to
get a feel for the situation. Cœur d`Alène ID not much; there are two
in NW MT. I settle on the one at Huson, which is just NW of Missoula
on I-90, and about 99 miles due south of Whitefish, which is just
north of Kalispell. Jim Bohannon is just wrapping up on KRVN Lexington
NE, which is also the dominant signal direct to here. It beams
westward but broadly with 50 kW. I also hear an ``Oilers`` mention, no
doubt Edmonton AB, 50 kW CHQT, supposedly direxional NW except for a
very minor lobe toward KRVN.

At 0701 I resume listening via Huson, and immediately hear Morse VVV.
Got to be KJJR altho calls not copied. KRVN continues to be dominant
signal even in MT, Fox ``news``. KJJR is so weak under it that hard to
believe it`s really running 10 kW ND day power, but of course it is
mountainous in between. 0705 some C&W music but could be a third
station. Phone-off-hook pulses, sweeps upward as KRVN is starting `Our
American Stories`.

At 0710-0715 I monitor direct into my E/W longwire and R75, and do
hear high-pitched continuous tones at 0710 & 0711; sweeps upward at
0712. So I know I *have* DXed this direct. Recording inconvenient so I
will not qualify for QSL or even report to station/CPC.

0715-0718 I switch to my DX-398 with internal antenna on altazimuth
wrist mount, but nothing from KJJR even with KRVN nulled as much as
possible; but the two are too close to the same direxion.

0718.5-0720 trying R75 again, nothing but KRVN.

0724 back to Huson where I can make out sweeps, 0726 VVV and now a
string of maybe 5 KJJR IDs in Morse; 0729 touch-tone phone tones; slow
VVV, and then solid tone. I would have preferred more time devoted to
KJJR IDs than all those other sounds. Anyhow, tnx for the test. I
gather it was widely heard from Norway to Florida to Massachusetts
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Jan 7 at 2300, checking various remotes for token
English from REE: JBA at Noale, Italy. No signal to Virginia but S6 to
S9+5 to Maryland! 11940 to SAm is S6-S8 into Sao Paulo. But I`m mainly
listening to contemporaneous Turkey, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 7 from 2300, VOT English is on; at
UTwente it`s S9+25/35 but with annoying squeal. Autonotch does not rid
it, but narrowing synch bandwidth to less than 2.7 kHz disposes of it.
2320, the strange feature ``Feeling Supreme`` with hard-to-understand
YL talking about smearing honey on lips 3 times a day, or the peeling
of something, but why? By now there is CCCCCCI from East Turkistan,
standard remark, but VOT well atop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2120 monitoring: confirmed UT
Friday January 7 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, S7-S9 into Knoxville SDR, with
some jamming bleed from 5980, and storm crashes altho there are none
nearer than the Gulf of Mexico and out toward Bermuda.

Also confirmed Friday January 7 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10, no
jamming audible and not cut off before 1559.

Also confirmed Friday January 7 at 1915 on IRRS SW via Bulgaria 7290,
S9+30 into UTwente. Monitored from 1859 when carrier on air but as
usual, modulation not cut on until almost 1901, missing Aïda and IRRS
sign-on, joining Feature Story News in progress; 1905 IRRS ID,
address, News from UN. Briefly tuned UTwente to 14580 for second
harmonic, not heard but some JBA tones. Also monitoring AM Italia 918
kHz, Villa Estense via nearby Noale SDR, which is // 7290 and almost
in synch, But at 1910 I`m called to lunch so roll tape to check later.
After UN News, music fill, and on 7290 WOR from 1915, but the music
keeps playing on 918! Recheck at 1934 now WOR is on 918 too after a
late join, vs Spanish QRM from Madrid.

The 2130 replay on 918 only is running at 2135, S9+5 but as usual
transmitter dumps off the air at 2157, 2 minutes before I am finished!
Uncovers La Inter, Madrid. I`ve asked IRRS to realign.

Just before this at 2153, I tuned Noale to 207 kHz, the AM Italia new
longwave transmitter, JBA but could recognize my voice for the first
time definitely on LW. Not on 1323 which is planned? to replace 918.

WOR 2120 also confirmed UT Saturday January 8 at 0230 on WRMI 9395: VP
S5-S6 direct; at 0258 S7-S9 into Missouri SDR and not cut off before

** U S A. 3215 before 0200, then 3360 UT Sun & Mon, we may not be
hearing WWRB any more. Check this weekend. A sesquihour before AAAWWW
this week, Allan Weiner e-mailed me: ``Hi Glenn, I heard about Dave
Frantz. Is there any more info on what happened? This is very sad
indeed. I was speaking with Dave back in November and he seemed fine.
Any info would be appreciated. Be well and HNY, Allan & Angela, WBCQ
Radio``

I replied that this was the first I had heard about it. Well, the
WWRB.org website is gone, per Hitlist linx. Did anyone hear it last
weekend, 3215/3360? So I inquired of the WOR iog. Replies:

Kim Elliott: ``The radio preacher who calls in to WBCQ 7490 Saturday
0000 UTC just said that Dennis [sic] Frantz died. His show will be off
WWRB for the time being.``

Larry Will: http://www.allwillstand.org/index.php/schedule/ ``says
"On January 2nd, 2022, I received a phone call from David Franz’s son
that he had went home to be with the Lord." Lw``

I look for obits in area newspapers/legacy.com but don`t find any.
General search on Dave Frantz led to age: 41. I thought he would be
older by now, and not sure if that info be current.

FCC search about WWRB, finds a CP for *something* was accepted for
filing July 19, 2021, and would expire 3 years later, July 19, 2024. I
have not been able to pull out what this was about. Street address is:

See also WBCQ AAAWWW report (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (6160-), UT Sat Jan 8 at 0100 I`m monitoring the Area 61
webcast for WBCQ `AAAWWW`: usual banter opening, says electricity
rates have just gone up 20%, but airtime rates have not even been
upped for inflation, since no one could afford them. Rates run from
$ 35 to $ 50 per hour, depending, rather than $ 200.

Bad News: According to Pastor Ken, Dave Frantz of WWRB has passed
away, stroke? Allan had spoken with him as recently as November and
many times before about engineering matters. There may be no one but
him who could operate WWRB on SW, but his son could handle internet
streaming. See my separate report about this.

TOM has made some cuts, so no longer on 4790; in fact, it`s been
turned off temporarily, for no particular reason. But planned for
February are tests of some *good* programming on 4790, two hours per
night but apparently varying and not specified, supplied by Uncle Bill
Tilford, to assess reception, for regular service in March. A&A are
covering electrical costs for this.

0124, date stamp as 7th of January, YOOLF 2022. 9330 SuperStition was
off for a sesquiday, now back. It`s a very complex transmitter.
Problem was a little card preventing the 14 kv power supply to
funxion. Three engineers Jeff, Tom and Lance fixed it with help from
Continental.

0130, Angela has been taking riding lessons -- at first I thought he
said ``writing``! At 0133 I check Maryland SDR and get no signals on
4790, 6160, trace on 7490 but 9330 with WLCR is S6-S8. Propagation is
degraded and/or MD is too close. By 0145 I check Missouri SDR where
7490 is S4 = noise level, 6160 better at S7-S9. At 0145 reads some
items from new Free Radio Weekly including Angela`s favorite, Ball
Smacker Radio.

News that new FCC chairwoman nixes suggestion that FCC should
censor/ban rightwing networx Fox, NewsMax and group Sinclair. Yay for
Free Speech. Allan again claims that unlike USA, Angela`s Canada with
no First Amendment, does not allow private SW stations! WRONG!! He
overlooks CFRX, CFVP, and there were several others which quit
voluntarily.

0159 prayer, a minute of dead air still on the A61 webcast, then music
and ``You are listening to your favorite station, WICT Pittsburgh``,
not Hal Turner tho supposedly on 6160 & 7490 not rechecked. John
Carver`s reception was degraded:

``Tonight's show started on time on 6160 and 7490 with no signal on
4790 and an impossible to copy signal on 7490. Allan and Angela in the
studio opening with New Years Greetings to all of us. Allan and Angela
were out in last week`s time slot dining and dancing to welcome in the
New Year. Allan wants to start with Angela's Angle and I lose the
signal at 0107. Will continue to monitor the noise and see if it comes
back. Signal pops up at 0115 and Allan is announcing the death of Dave
Frantz of WWRB. Very rough copy. Allan states at 0121 that the Brother
Stair organization wants to cut back a bit and asked to stop the 4790
broadcast which Allan said they did as of January 1. Then he announces
what will be taking it's place and I can't copy it.
I apologize for this poor report but I can only report on what I can
copy. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6114, RTTY, re TDOA map linked in previous report, it
apparently expired. If you can get into the UDXF iog, the link worx
from https://groups.io/g/UDXF/message/102652

Azores area in a subsequent post (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
