** U S A. 9330.000, Aug 16 at 2030, S9+10/20 bigsig with C&W music ---
the WBCQ Superstation is back! I was rather expecting this since Allan
Weiner twitted earlier today that his show tonight would be on 9330
plus the other four frequencies. Must be warming up for that. Two or
three tunes without a break, but with considerable selective fading
distortion, and some separate modulation/peak distortion. 2037
mentions ``Classic Country`` and adstring for businesses in Woodstock
(New Brunswick nearby, not NY!), about powerline construxion along
I-95, Fredericton, Houlton, Aroostook Milling Co; 2042 weather in F
and C, ``Kixx FM``, back to music. Kixx FM = WBCQ-FM 94.7, Monticello
ME, 6/6 kW with classic country.

7490.207v, Aug 16 at 2045 I check another BCQ and to my horror
discover my local high line noise is back, but fortunately cutting off
and on, not yet near-continuous, but probably will be again unless we
get some more rain since August 12. While noise is off I can tell 7490
is on and measure it, JBA with talk not //, presumably `Financial
Survival`. Nothing audible on 6160v or 5130v this early before dark.

9330, another country music block ends ends at 2050, more adstring
mentioning Houlton, Highway 2 exit 191, Woodstock. Makes us thankful
that except when test-simulcasting the local FM, WBCQ SW frequencies
are not full of commercials useless to us. Recheck at 2102, now it`s
joined 7490.2 for `Behaviour Night` music, audiblizing this program
for once, altho unfortunately I do not have time to keep listening to
it. 2332 recheck, again with ``Kixx FM`` country music.

9330, at 2359 Aug 16, program switching briefly with what sounds like
``radioserpentine.com`` but must have been the scheduled on 7490
``Radio FKB Sermon Time``! Then 0000 UT Sat Aug 17, cut to ``William
Tell Overture``. Yes, now I can tell it`s // JBA on 7490v, 6160v and
5130v. He soon confirms 9330 is on with the full 500 kW. This week I
won`t have to strain to hear it on 7490. ``Tom is kinda like the CE of
the Super-station``. Kinda?

Anyhow, they`ve got the SS back on air after a month, despite all the
problems with it he was complaining about last week, and more this
week: It runs on Winders 10. Needed to sit down when the first
electric bills arrived, in 5 or 6 figures (meaning: $ 100K, more or
less, a month?). Is replying to usual caller. Confirms 9330 is now on
the same 245 degree azimuth as all the others. During the earlier test
this afternoon, AW was checking various SDRs and found it was getting
in well to Iceland, Europe, South Africa, Vancouver BC, etc.

The rotatable antenna manufacturer, Ampegon, went bankrupt and was
bought by Cesstron (sounds like?). No, it`s Cestron. found it:

http://www.cestron.de/
Communication Engineering Services and Electronics
[now what would that be in German and acronymed?]

News Release, Berlin, 14 August 2019
CESTRON announces acquisition of strategic assets from Ampegon and AM
Broadcast. . .
http://www.cestron.de/News?PHPSESSID=d7f905e03b6f42ec0682119c7364e63b

AW says Cestron has $ 300K worth of spare parts for WBCQ which he hopes
to be able to get. Another problem is that WBCQ has NO documentation
about the antenna. Cestron is rehiring most of the old Ampegon
engineers, and hopes they will come to WBCQ by end of August and get
to work [earlier info was that WBCQ would have to pay for their
airfare and lodging.]

The antenna will cover all bands 5.9 to 28 [sic] MHz, but each
frequency must be pre-programmed into it with proper antenna tuning
unit settings, etc. Need documentation on exactly how to do that
correctly.

It`s all servo-controlled. More AC on the transmitter has been
installed. AW would still prefer plate modulation. Tom replaced power
supply modules. Something about ground-strapping required for
lightning protexion. All this brand-new equipment should have been
under warranty, but that went away with the bankruptcy, which he hears
was not a ``nice`` transition.

Question, what is the reflected power of the 500 kW? No more than 2
kW, and it has to be that low. Is it safe to be near the antenna? Yes,
no problem since you are under the beam which is going out at an
upward tilt of 10-15-20 degrees.

He starts to talk about Woodstock (NY, not NB), at 0021, but of course
interrupted by another caller, gets into political discussion which he
often says he is trying to avoid.

0024, I recheck the other frequencies while the HLNL abates, and find
that they are not synchronized, why not? approx.:
7490+ is 28 seconds ahead of 9330
6160v is 29 seconds ahead of 9330 --- well, maybe in margin of error
5130v is 2 seconds ahead of 9330
3265v is still a JBA carrier, can`t tell

0054, answering another question about music licensing and royalties
like on domestic stations? NO, does not apply to US SW stations which
technically are broadcasting to a foreign audience, like Mexico where
WBCQs are aimed. 0100 canned auto legal ID by self interrupts, but the
live AW is not finished, as just now he starts going thru e-mail.
Larry Will advises of the hum on phone line worst on 9330, and AW says
that is due to processing and superior low-frequency response.

0107 finally to benedixion, and concludes saying that World`s Last
Chance will be on air shortly, 100% programming 9330, while plenty of
time is for sale, cheap on the other ``classic`` frequencies. 0111
canned s/off announcement and 9330 turned off* immediately.

But 6160v and 7490v stay on with music, seemingly //, while 5130v
stays on with something else, talk. By 0130 recheck, 6160v & 7490v are
now BSing, and 5130v something-elseing.

If that was too much for you, here`s John Carver`s summary:

``Tonight's show started on time. This evening I'm listening on 6160
as 7490 had a very poor signal. Moved to 5130 when some hets started
on 6160 and eventually moved to 9330. Allan states that they're on all
five frequencies this evening including full power on the new
transmitter. First phone call at 0007 from Freddie. Next call at 0016
was a prank call. Another phone call at 0022 interrupted a discussion
about Woodstock. Phone call was about Trump.

Back to Woodstock talk after the call. Phone call at 0053 with a
question about whether or not SW stations had to pay royalties on the
music they played. Reading of emails at 0101. Closing prayer at 0107
and program was off the air at 0110. No new information on the
superstation this evening. Just a rehash of old information. John
Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. At first: UNIDENTIFIED. 1180, Aug 16 at 0602 UT, Spanish
looping roughly E/W, i.e. between WHAM baseball talk to the ENE and
Rebelde echojammers to the SE. Seems like norteña music at first, but
between tunes several times, about 0608, 0611, 0614, super-hype
voice-actor intones ``99.9``; sometimes there may have been a slogan
just before that, but I just cannot copy it. Only when aimed E/W on
the DX-398 do I get a LAH, and with BFO comparing to 1170 and 1190,
it`s clear that this station is the one slightly off-frequency plus+.
Rearoused at 0637 UT, this time it sounds more like ``99.3``, so can`t
rule that out. And zzz.

This angle pretty well rules out Mexico, but trouble is, no likely US
stations are SS on 1180 per last year`s NRC AM Log. Maybe this year`s,
when it comes, will have the answer. It`s yet another that considers
AM only an expendable appendage of FM, tail wagging dog. IRCA Mexican
Log does not have any 1180 matches to either FM frequency.

Reverse search, looking up in the WTFDA FM Database all the 99.9s in
the USA in Spanish, shows none of them correlated with an ``origin``
on an 1180 station. But along the DF axis, in case there has been a
format flip, we do find a station in Arkansas, KTUV 1440 Little Rock
with 99.9 translators in both Rogers and Little Rock. Yet shown with
non-matching formats and slogans: K260DT Little Rock, regional
Mexican; and K260CS Rogers, Spanish hits, Las Americas Radio 1440. But
the only AR station on 1180 is unrelated, non-SS and over by Memphis
TN, WGUE, CLassic Rock format.

Before checking same for 99.3, I try radio-locator.com, on WGUE, and
by golly, there it is:

WGUE-AM also broadcasts its primary channel from these 2 transmitters
W257CY 99.3 FM Memphis, TN (99 watts)
K268DA 101.5 FM Memphis, TN (250 watts)``

The nighttime coverage map for 1180 shows it almost circular, the 26
watts barely reaching adjacent counties from a + site barely on the AR
side of the River near West Memphis (despite the W-call):
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WGUE&service=AM&h=N
Hey, how does that fare against the 500+kW from Cuba (adding up powers
in WRTH, plus more unknown). Well, at least they make it to Enid!

Then to WTFDA search for all the SS on 99.3 --- no, not there nor
anything else likely. But since we have the call W257CY, going
directly to that, voilà:

``W257CY WGUE-1180 99.3 MEMPHIS TN USA 0.099 0.099 290.0 0.0 35-09-16
89-49-20 REGIONAL MEXICAN LA JEFA 99.3``

It did not show up in the Spanish search since there is no entry in
the field for language. I`m sure this must be it; everything fits
except hearing it if really on legal night power. Note the FM power
is, what else, also ``99` watts.

So as much as we decry AM stations abandoning their identity to a
paltry FM translator, even to the extent of `branding`` only on the FM
frequency --- in this case it leads to an ID, while SHVA shouts of
``11-80`` would not have, since we already know it`s obviously on
1180.

If all this sound vaguely familiar, it`s related to WUMY 830 sale
etc., as explained in DXLD 18-44

be detected circa 9330, 6160 or 5130; some weeks ago this emission was

jumped again from 15555-USB. IIRC 15550 was its original frequency
when first on the air; has occasionally resumed it for no discernible
reason --- in fact, counterproductive as 15555 has been clear of other
broadcasters during WJHR`s 14-22 span, while 15550 is not. Notably
Radio Dabanga via Vatican at 1529-1557. At 1808 still a trace of it on
15550-USB.

As recently as August 9 I had WJHR on 15555-USB when it was on the air
early at 1357. Also checked August 15 at 1408, JBA on 15550-USB. At
1529 I do hear Dabanga/Vatican JBA carrier but not WJHR here nor on

Also an intriguing one on RF 32: in OK and KS a bunch of translators
or LDs, including an imaginary in Enid; only one full power 135 kW,
KRSU Claremore, ex-35. Meanwhile I snap some photos of KSNW:

BTW, since I last checked, WOR has been dropped without the courtesy
of a notice from ACB Radio Mainstream as their programming seems to
have been revamped (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7570, Aug 13 at 1243, SMTV via WRMI, S9+10/20 Chinese drama,
or is it Cantonese; announcement at 1249 sounds more like Vietnamese
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475 & 5830, Aug 13 at 2211 check, WTWW-1 is AWOL from both
possible frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1160, Aug 13 at 0540 UT, now that my local line noise is
off, I can tell that KSL SLC is still running IBOC noise, peaking
below KSAL around 1147 and above KFAQ about 1173. Nothing further from
KSL about its weakened(?) signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, Aug 12 at 0625 UT, I`m still trying to reconfirm WJNL,
Kingsley MI, 50 kW daytimer cheater, but still suffering from local
high line noise level, especially when aimed N/S with KGYN to the west
nulled as much as possible -- but I do have a clew, heavy SAH at the
rate of 164/minute or 2.73 Hz, close to the rate < 3 Hz previously
measured between KGYN and WJNL.

1210, Aug 13 at 0529 UT, in the meantime the noise level has cleared
up after some rain --- washing off insulators/contacts on the
powerline? Now with KGYN silly sports talk nulled, I hear another
talkshow in English; presumably Beyond Reality Radio on WJNL. Again
with a SAH of almost 3 Hz, but growing CCI from something in Spanish,
talk and music. Strongly suspect the RGV station which can`t be
avoided as long as I am nulling KGYN; now the SAH is 160/minute = 2.67
Hz, but seems to be between the two stations other than KGYN. At 0543
the SS breaks to plug some ``worship centers`` in Brownsville and
McAllen, so that`s it: KUBR San Juan, U4 10/5 kW, studio address in
McAllen (and sibling to the 890 station KVOZ) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1560, Aug 13 at 0545 UT, Vietnamese talk is VG dominating
the channel, as KGOW Bellaire/Houston TX must still be on STA allowing
bigsig to the north rather than the Gulf of Mexico. Checking this
because the night before, Paul Walker in WY tipped that KGOW was
relaying VOA:

``At 11 pm each night, they carry 1 hour of programming from the Voice
Of America. The first 26 minutes is in Vietnamese followed by some
local spots/announcements then they run a VOA program in Japanese. The
programs always begin and end with an announcement in English saying
"this is the Voice of America" and mentions the language. There are
some VOA references during the broadcast and I've heard English
language VOA jingles in the broadcast. Paul``

Timezone??? Probably his local MDT = UT -6, but this sure is not
Japanese, nor has VOA had a JJ service for decades. A single half hour
at 2130 UT, as I recall, lingered a while before VOA decided there was
no point in talking to a friendly country even if SWLing was a fad. A
check of https://www.voanews.com clicking on ENG to get a language
list, confirms Japanese is still not among them even on the web (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1120, August 12 at 0630 UT, nulling KMOX, fast SAH and
another station in English, sounds like local newscast, and fadeout.
Maybe KCRN Limon, Colorado? Which Paul Walker says is running 50 kW at
night; KMOX is quite dominant here. Would not expect the RCatholic
station to be doing regular current-event news of the axual world
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4775.369, Aug 13 at 0515,, JBA carrier detectable now
that the line noise is off, but storming requires indoor longwire;
switch to external LW, no better except adds CODAR QRM. I would expect
it to be one of the unnecessarily cozy South Americans, Radio Tarma,
Perú, or Rádio Congonhas, Brasil --- but I see both of these reported
separately lately on the minus side circa 4774.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
