Hauser
** BRAZIL. 9630, 9664, 9725, 9818, 11815, 11856, July 7 at 0147-0148,
notable by their absence, not even JBA carriers from the mostly
off-frequency ZYs. Nor 11780 which I assume is off now, tho regularly
active earlier. The others seem to be disappearing from the ether one
by one. Or: curtailed skeds, and/or péssima propagação, as Carlos
Gonçalves, Portugal has reported all these except 9725 and 11856 in
late June at other dayparts; plus also 9515, 9550 and 11895 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, July 7 at 0132, RHC is suptorted S9+20/30, JBM, but I
can recognize it`s Arnie ending his other show `Breakthru`. Only //
6165, at 0135 is S9+25/35 and undermodulated but sufficient by
comparison now in jazz show. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 4765, July 7 at 0156, still no signal from R. Progreso. If
anyone ever hear it again, be sure to report; nominal sked was
0030-0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 7260, July 7 at 0140 tune-in to music on AM, then a bit of
dead air and off, so I wonder if it`s an ham screwing around; until I
uplook 7260 in EiBi to find Iran in Spanish to Caribbean listed during
this hour. Lawless nation: ¿what are they doing broadcasting inside
the 40m hamband into our Hemisphere?

11660, July 7 at 0149 tune-in, convenient ID immediately in Spanish
for VRII, poor-fair S4-S7. This one from Sirjan to Central America
scheduled 2350-0250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also
UNID 6151.5-USB

** KUWAIT. 17549.97, July 6 at 2225, R. Kuwait, JBA in Arabic, and
again by this hour both the Strongest Signal On Band, and Only Signal
On Band; knocked off-frequency just to make it more interesting,
taking over that task from RHC which now is right on 15370 and 7380
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6875-USB, UT Sun July 7 at 0137, dense rock music at
S9, no pauses or announcements past 0200. Many reports here
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,55749.0.html
starting at 0033, and no ID until 0202 as Mix Radio International; if
only I had stayed with it 2 minutes longer --- but I`m already late
for `Weekend Radio` on WCLV. HFU guys report it still going at 0240.
First pirate I`ve heard in quite some time except for YHWH (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 11980, July 6 at 0529, VOT is S9+10/S8, so despite my
previous comment, would be enough to enjoy some music, except it`s all
Turkish talk now, and somewhat muffled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1989 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday July 6
at 0130 on WRMI 7780, fair but not enough vs high local noise level.
Also reported by Mark Coady, Ontario: ``7780 USA WRMI at 0144 with
Glenn Hauser's “World of Radio” - Fair July 6``

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, reports: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio
via HLR on 6190 CUSB, July 6

https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/07/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_6.html
0631-0700 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sat, weak
signal``

I try not to be awake before 1200 UT, but Mark Coady, Ontario reports:
``9955 USA WRMI at 1155 with Glenn Hauser's “World of Radio” - Fair to
Good July 6``

NOT confirmed Sat July 6 at 1430 on HLR 9485-USB; no signal at all via
UTwente SDR, just huge splash from 9490 Romania. As usual.

Confirmed Sat July 6 at 2109 the 2100 on WRMI 9955, fair-good.

Also confirmed UT Sun July 7 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+40/50, yet can
still hear some nearby lightning crashes from SE Kansas if not West
Texas. Fill music overlaps my introduxion, and even more of it
overlaps my outroduxion just before 0159.

Next broadcast may not be, as at 0158 I am getting no signal on 1860
kHz AM from WA0RCR, Wentzville MO; still no signal at 0328 when WOR
would be playing; despite S9+10 high local noise level, I can still
detect an LSB ham on 1940 kHz. Next:

1030 UT Sunday HLR 7265-CUSB Germany to WSW
2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE
0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 7780-new to NE

** U S A. 9330.00, Friday July 5 at 2343, WBCQ-6 with `Radio TimTron
Worldwide``, S9+30/20. Getting to be a habit in the hour before
AAAWWW, but presumably not any more once the flat-earthers take over.

9330.00, UT Saturday July 6 at 0000, WBCQ-6 starting `Angela and Allan
Weiner WorldWide` with Wm. Tell Ov., says quadricasting on all 4
frequencies, but no point in my bothering with the other three. Now I
am hearing slight overmodulation/distortion for the first time on this
bigsig --- need to back off the mod level just a tad, or as kvz would
say, a titch. I`m otherwise busy so leave it to our correspondent in
mid-north Indiana, John H. Carver, Jr.:

Tonight's show started about a minute early after a couple minutes of
fill music with voiceovers by Allan. Listening on 9330 this evening.
Allan and Angela in the studio complaining about the heat in Maine.
Angela is half naked according to Allan and he ended up taking his
shirt off. Freddie is on the phone by 0007. Talk of heat, 4th of July,
mowing grass and tractors. Allan and Angela were off last week for an
antique auto tour.

Freddie off the phone at 0036 allowing Tony Straka to phone in. Allan
says WLC will start broadcasting on Monday and so next week they will
be turning the antenna to hit different areas of the world. Phone call
from Freddie again at 0043 asking Allan if he could run an episode of
Trailer Trash Radio over the superstation. Allan says he will have to
find the old tapes, have someone transfer one to a CD so it could be
broadcast on the new transmitter and would have to be done this
weekend as WLC starts Monday.

Reading of emails at 0048 and a phone call from Larry Will after the
first email stating that he had access to the Trailer Trash tapes and
could transfer the episode that Freddie wants to the station. More
email at 0053 and immediately another phone call. Back to email and
phone call at 0056. Back to email. Automation cuts Allan off at 0100
and then fades down and Allan is faded up again. Closing prayer at
0101. Program was off the air at 0104``

At 0440 recheck I notice that 9330.00 is playing VORW.

9330.00, Sat July 6 around 2100 not on yet, but at 2207, unfamiliar DJ
is playing tunes he says are all from YouTube videos (so no copyright
concerns?), billed as ``WBCQ Shakedown Cruise``. Nice eclectic
selexion including ``Guantanamera`` at 2221. Too-quick closing at 2259
gave name and website neither of which I could catch; and 2300 into
another TimTron giving today`s date (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, July 6 at 1941, yet again WTWW-1 is on night frequency
in the day, S7-S8 seems dead air, but straining, I think I can hear it
JBM. Nothing on 9475. By 2232 recheck, 9475 has finally come up with
SFAW.

5085, Sat July 6 at 2335, WTWW-2 starts `Theatre Organ in the Ozarx`
only five minutes late, and lasts only 28 minutes! until 2403. After
Bob Heil`s opening, no further announcements heard, just continuous
music, which of course I am really enjoying in $ tereo on webcast
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505, July 7 at 0142, S9+35 of dead air from WRNO. Their
live air never has anything worth listening to anyway (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, July 7 at 0329 UT, ad for something in Mackinaw City,
so it`s surely still WJNL in Traverse City market, dominant now over
KGYN even on the east-west longwire. Prompted by my inquiry, Don
Hosmer now reports it to the WOR iog:

``I live 60 miles east and just south of WJNL's Kingsley xmtr site. I
am hearing the Jim Bohannon show from 0315 to present 7/06 on 1210
kHz. I get a fair signal using my directional W6LVP loop aimed at
Kingsley. But on my longwire and G5RV dipoles, co-channel Philadelphia
station WPHT (IDed at 0355) overpowers WJNL. No sign of their sister
station WJML 1110 kHz which is a 10 KW daytimer vs. WJNL's 50 KW. I
don't regularly listen to MW and can't tell if they are stronger than
in the past. Don Hosmer, W8SWL, West Branch MI USA``

Thanks, Don; from your obs, and my sufficient but not strong
receptions, WJNL may not be running the full 50 kW ND at night; maybe
the 2.5 kW critical-hours power which they should be using anyway
before sundown sign-off [non] and after sunrise sign-on [non] (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6151.5-USB, July 7 at 0134, weak 2-way INTRUDERS in
Spanish. Amazngly, at this time no broadcast signals are to be heard
on 49m band between 6070 CFRX and JBA carrier on 6155, which would be
Zahedan, Iran in Arabic until 0230 (and I see in EiBi, immediately
followed by BBC in Farsi for an hour via Uzbekistan; what a
coincidence) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also IRAN

** CHINA. 12870, July 5 at 1333, CNR1 jammer at S8-S9.

13550, July 5 at 1334, CNR1 jammer at S6-S8

14850, July 5 at 1335, CNR1 jammer at S5-S7.

All three are //. This time I did not dig further for carriers or
beyond the 12-15 MHz range. Wolfgang Bueschel reminds us of his
exhaustive survey of SOH/jammers from April 6, which he has just
rechecked via remote receivers in E Asia, in the 1158-1600 UT period:
he was not hearing 12870 or 13550 at whatever time he went by, and had
not yet reached 14850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12000, July 5 at 1309, `Amigos de Cuba` friends-only mailbag,
S5-S8 here on second harmonic of 6000 at S9+10. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11850, July 5 at 2140, RHC Spanish here is JBM, much softer
than // 11760. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15369.22, July 5 at 2145, S9 RHC Spanish knocked itself way
off-frequency from 15370.0. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 17550.0, July 5 at 2144, JBA carrier amid Radio Kuwait`s
optimistic Arabic quadrihour for C & W North America nevertheless
qualifies as both the SSOB and OSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, July 5 at 0300, VP carrier vs noise level,
then barely recognize Josiah on Station YHWH just as expected. Others
confirm him on here tonight; Rick Barton, AZ heard him cut on at 0243,
and Walt Salmaniw, BC says he was already off when he tuned in at 0353
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1989 monitoring: confirmed first N American
SW broadcast, Friday July 5 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, fair S7-S8. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330.00, UT Fri July 5 at 0307, WBCQ-6 at S9+30/40
exclaiming ``marijuana`` several times, ``Radio Free Euphoria`` and
then a song about dope. RFE is really on the WBCQ sked only at 02-03
UT Sun on 5130+v, i.e. part of Area 51. HF Underground archive has
many logs of RFE when it was really a pirate on 42mb, mostly in the
2009-2012 era.

9330.00, Fri July 5 at 2137, WBCQ-6 obviously the antique music of
`Behaviour Night` which is scheduled this hour on 7490.1v --- also
there but *not* // and not synchronized, VP with line noise level
cutting on and off, mostly on. I continue listening to 9330 for next
announcement saying he is commemorating the birthday of Bix
Beiderbecke, March 10, 1903 --- so this episode is obviously an
archived one from March of some year --- if an exact match, it could
not be 2019 since March 10 was on a Sunday. Presumably the barely
audible episode on 7490.1v is a ``new`` one.

9330.00, July 5 at 2200 goes into another oldie show, giving frequency
as ``7.415``, two hyper DJs but no title heard. 7490 sounds like
Brother Scare now as usual during this weekday hour. Soon there is to
be a lot more of him on 7490.1v, filling ``all`` unsold time, since he
can no longer be on 9330.1v at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, July 5 at 0541, WTWW-2 again with `Pete Santilli Show`
of far-right talk. I suspect it start around 0400 weeknights, after DJ
rock music strip (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, UT Fri July 5 at 0318 UT, Jim Bohannon show, soon
breaking for an adstring, including AARP, MSF PSAs; Pace Publishing,
babbel.com. With usual ~3 Hz SAH against KGYN. From previous research
I`m certain this is still 50 kW daytimer WJNL, Kingsley MI, cheating
at night.

Recheck at 0600, ``WJNL News`` ID and bong before some network news. I
thought the Michigan ARE Tipsheet would be interested in this, but
despite my numerous previous logs of this almost nightly since June
24, no notice of WJNL; no MAREs reported it either nor anybody I can
find since then. Is anyone paying attention? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476-, Thu July 4 at 1416, JJBBA carrier slightly on
the low side, signature of LRA36 on the air; as confirmed by Manuel
Méndez, Spain, later, extremely weak around 1900. I cannot detect it
at 1915 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 7730, July 4 at 1248, VP in Chinese; and a JBA carrier on
7570. Better known as WRMI frequencies, but now surely CNR1 jammers.

WRMI 7570 is apparently still off the air like it was last night,
instead of with SMTV as scheduled 11-14 UT. However, CNR1 jamming
would not be expected until 1300 VOA Mandarin hour via Thailand
start.

7730 is a Sound of Hope, Taiwan frequency 23 hours a day and thus
subject to continuous jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
See also USA: WEWN

** CUBA. 6000, July 4 at 0132, RHC English in mailbag, suptorted; //
6165 is on now JBM but less suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11670, July 4 at 0138, RHC Spanish is JBM, much softer than
// 11700, 11760, 11850 --- it`s more like the JBA spurs on 11840 &
11860. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9535, July 4 at 0541, RHC Spanish is still running
now colliding with Algeria in Arabic via FRANCE, which is on 9535 at
05-06 only, expecting it to be clear! Sometimes RHC past 0500 on 9535
has switched to English feed, not this time. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185, July 4 at 0135, music from XEPPM, back on the air
after about a week out of air, S9+10/20 but that includes the high
local line noise level. Manuel Méndez, Spain, reported it earlier, and
Ron Howard too, who forwards this: ``from Facebook (WRTH), from Luis
Alejandro Vallebueno: "Radio Educación XEEP, 6185 kHz has been
reactivated today [July 2] at 18:00 GMT with 1.5 kW. Information via
Julián Santiago Díez de Bonilla and Pilar Cruz"``. Original rated
power as in WRTH 2019 was 10 kW. We used to hear directly from JSDB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1989, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 11769.9, July 4 at 1923, S5-S7 carrier, no doubt VON maybe
still in English but can`t hear any (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 11980, July 4 at 0545, ME music, VP S5-S7. HFCC shows it`s
VOT Turkish at 04-06, 500 kW at 310 degrees toward W Europe and also
USward. In previous years this transmission was listenable here for
the music, but not with solar flux below 70 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1988 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday July 3 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, and finally *not* upcut,
automation back in alignment after IS & ID loop, S7 vs S6 noise level
when tuned to next vacant frequency. However, *no* signal, not even a
carrier audible from simulcast on WBCQ 7490+v, and despite HNL,
generally VP summer reception, think that transmitter is not on air.
However2, WOR confirmed on webcast check at 2128, again followed by
the variable-key singing of the late Goddess Irina I at 2130.

WOR 1988 also confirmed UT Thu July 4 at 0116 the 0100 on WRMI 7780,
JBA vs S9+10 local noise level, seems from nearby powerline; worst on
the lower SW bands and also peaking amid the MW band around 1200 kHz.

** U S A. 9330.00, July 3 at 2100, WBCQ-6 is on at S9+25, opening
another `Allan Weiner Worldwide` playback from when it was ``live`` on
7490 and 5130, sometime last year when Angela was just a girlfriend,
`half-nekkid`, as it was 85 degrees (in Fla) and they were just back
from a Caribbean cruise – I remember hearing that the first time.
Meanwhile, cannot detect any signal at all on 7490+v when World of
Radio should be airing.

9330.00, UT Thu July 4 at next check 0117, a very mean-sounding talk
host must be Hal Turner as scheduled weekly, 01-03 on WBCQ 7490+v, and
which frequency is still undetectable here; confirmed as such by same
thing // if not synchronized on 9455 WRMI, which activates this
frequency only on Wednesday night for Turner, flanked by an hour
before and after of BS.

9330.00, UT Thu July 4 at 0330, VORW gets a chance on WBCQ-6 500 kW,
John in a mailbag acknowledging first-name-only reports mostly of 9395
(WRMI). May not know he`s on 9330 right now; then music requests
3-in-a-row. Don`t expect anything but World`s Last Chance ministry on
9330 starting July 8 unless that target date slip again (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. 7570, July 4 at 0125, this WRMI is unusually off the air
while 7730, 7780 are still going; and 9455 with Hal Turner // 9330
WBCQ but not 7490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, July 4 at 0124, WRNO is on again with gospel music at
S9/+10. Strangely with regular fading about once per second, like a
subaudible het --- in this case I can`t imagine from what, as HFCC
shows nothing else scheduled now; Goa and Dushanbe are on 7505 at
other dayparts. Self-imposed transmitter problem? 0327 recheck now
WRNO in Chinese, so still some `Grace for Today` even if not all-night
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1989, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825, Wed July 3 at 2105, WWCR gets sporadic E boost to
S9+5, nice flamenco classical guitar music, ``olé`` and 2106 starting
``Luz para las Rosas`` by the ``ministerio Hermana Rosa de Hierro``
(Sister Iron Rose), what a name. Perhaps that is a subset of what`s on
the program sked Wed at 2100-2130 on WWCR-1: `La Voz Alegre` with Rex
Morgan. That would be same as the Spanish service from Madagascar
World Voice, which axually originates in nearby Franklin TN (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Wed July 4 at 0325, WTWW-2 is off, no rock DJ
tonight, altho 5830 WTWW-1 remains on with undermodulated SFAW. Next
check at 0535, 5085 still off and could easily overcome the S9+10 line
noise level if it were on; while 5830 is S9+20/30 of dead air. So no
Pete Santilli far-right talk show tonight on 5085. Altho he said he
was on 3 hours a night UT Tue-Sat, he might be on SW only two nights a
week, as I heard UT Tue & Wed on WTWW.

5085, next2 check, UT Fri July 5 at 0105, plug for a ``pray for me``
circle at WTWW, 0107 a Ted ham ad, 0108 hymn, so no more rock DJ even
when on? No, 0119 Ted intro Motown music; at 0200 ``Greatest Hits of
All Time``, Ted`s night to DJ, 0203 Herman`s Hermits. Modulation now
is annoyingly distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, July 4 at 1921, again today, WTWW-1 stays on night
frequency all day – S9 but high noise level, at first seems dead air,
then JBM; nothing on 9475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 9470, July 4 at 1256, ``Salve Regina`` from WEWN
but also a fast SAH from something in Chinese. Altho WEWN targets the
FE in English about to close at 1300, 9470 is a very busy frequency,
with CNR1 jamming RTI at 12-13. I`ll bet no one hears EWTN over there
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10550, July 4 at 1259-1300+, S2-S4 carrier open except
for some clix about once per second; what? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11825, July 4 at 1305, open carrier/dead air. Maybe VOA
Mandarin via Thailand not turned off at 1300 or CNR1 jamming of same.
If it were off-frequency 11825.5, per EiBi at 1300-1330 it would be
FEBC Hong Kong via Bocaue, Philippines in the KHA dialect of Tibetan.
This signal much stronger than the CNR1 jammer still running on 11785
vs VOA Philippines (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer hunt July 3 finds the following:

10550, July 3 at 1316, JBA carrier --- maybe not, unlisted

10960, July 3 at 1316, Chinese from CNR1 jammer

11440, July 3 at 1317, CNR1 jammer much stronger than 11460

12820, July 3 at 1349, CNR1 jammer in Chinese, S1-S2

12870, July 3 at 1349, CNR1 jammer best of all S4-S5.

No further WOOB ones found. The five above all check in EiBi as CNR1
jammers against Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12200, July 3 at 0558, RHC English is S7-S9 and still past
0602+, second harmonic of 6100; and 12200 is the SSOB! Somewhat
stronger than 11610 WEWN, everything else on 25m JBA carriers.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 11769.9, July 3 at 0558, no signal from VON here, nor on
7254.9 nor 9689.9; however shortly after 0600, Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria,
found it ``weak`` back on 7254.9 which I did not check again (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

http://w5kub.com during the net you will see your smeter. @sar_news
@qrznow @dxcoffee @amatradio #ham radio #hamr #swl #shortwave``

The broadcast is normally on hard-to-hear 5130+v WBCQ; on this
occasion maybe also on 500 kW 9330, but not mentioned by Tom. AW said
something about that previously, or was it last week?

Yes, an earlier twit from Tom publicized AW being on the show June 25!
So is this in addition to or instead of? (Glenn Hauser, 0010 UT July
3, WOR iog via DXLD)

Yes, tonight on http://tmedlin.com/video-2-2/

Gets to AW audio-only on the phone interview at 0115, at first very
undermodulated. And yes, now also on 9330, but bad distortion level,
then improving. At 0100, 9330 had switched from an AWWW playback to
WHVW feed, so I figured Amateur R Roundtable would not be on that.

So far it`s just about AW`s early pirate or ``civil disobedience``
radio days.

Silly me, I started out watching a W5KUB ``live stream`` of Tom
messing with the computer, until I read the fine print -- it was from
2016, which hardly qualifies as live now. ``Live stream`` naming
should be deleted after the fact.

Then I found the real live stream which was about 8 seconds apart from
9330. Later that had been reduced to only one second.

Among the info gleaned from what AW said on this interview:

WBCQ=6 is not full 500 kW power yet, but almost. Will be in a couple
of days. (This contradicts previous info from WBCQ that it had been up
to 500 kW for several days now.) ERP is almost 20 megawatts at 9 MHz.
The 200-ton Ampegon antenna is precisely balanced and can be moved by
hand rather than two 3 hp motors, very quietly. 9330 is currently
aimed 270 degrees true, toward Mexico and Central America (no, that
would be 240 degrees or less). It takes 2.5 minutes for the antenna to
rotate 360 degrees. Has TimTron hooked his ham rig up to the Ampegon?
Not yet. Tom would like to do that when he visit Monticello. The very
large final tube cost $ 80K. Another one for standby is on order. 5130
transmitter is #2. WBCQ property occupies 200 acres (earlier he gave a
smaller figure over 100). The Weiners live in a house ``down the
road`` and there is no RF overload problem at ground level from the
500 kW. Will have new QSL cards for the first time in 20 years. But AW
hardly has spare time to send them. Please include SASEs. The entire
interview lasted until 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, July 2 at 1932, WTWW-1 is still on night frequency,
not 9475. I hear that Ted is in a wheelchair, so may have mobility
issues getting to and from and around inside the station. But
shouldn`t it be remote-controlled for frequency changes??

5085, UT Wed July 3 at 0610, WTWW-2 is on again with the Pete Santilli
far-right talk show, plugging his survivalist food; guest on phone is
``Ben Time Traveler``, still going at 0621. Haven`t found when this
start and if rock DJ lineup earlier be curtailed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** CHINA. 7370, July 2 at 1657, JBA carrier. Aoki/NDXC shows this must
be a CNR1 jammer against RFA Chinese via Tajikistan, this hour only.

7300, July 2 at 1658 another JBA carrier, CNR1 jammer against RTI
until 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 11769.902, July 2 at 1650, VON surprisingly good in
English, S9+10/S8, discussing tourism in Africa on its favorite
new/revived frequency. No QRM here from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, East
Turkistan, as others have complained, scheduled all the way from 23 to
18 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SINGAPORE. 11795, July 2 at 1410, poor S3-S5 signal woman speaking;
intonation sounds a bit like German, but no words recognizable;
Aoki/NDXC shows it`s really Hindi! From BBCWS this semihour only.
Aimed NW from Kranji, we are *way* off-target for this. Not much else
direct from Asia on band except North Korea.

7355, July 2 at 1658, woman in Chinese?, VP S4-S5, KNLS? No, it`s
finished at 1500. 1659, continuous beeping mixed with music, signature
of BBC, maybe leading into timesignal when beeping stops at 1700:00
but stays on with programming. Aoki shows it`s really BBC Korean at
1530-1830 via SINGAPORE, altho Nippon no Kaze via Taiwan is also on
7355 at 1630-1700.

Pleased to be getting even this much signal from Asia so late into one
of the longest days of the year (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 11600, July 2 at 1651, raspy tones of Brother
Scare, S4-S6. Aoki shows via BULGARIA at 1400-1700. HFCC shows
Kostinbord available 24 hours, 50 kW at 306 degrees to W Europe and
here we are beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 12030, Tue July 2 at 1645, Arabic talk but playing medieval
Christian choral music, S8-S5. It`s REE crusading to the Mideast at
1630 M-F, but well audible back here oppositely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9460, July 2 at 1653 nice strumming music, S9-S6, from VOT
Turkish service scheduled here 1600-2100, if they don`t screw it up,
500 kW, 310 degrees from Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIING
DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1988 monitoring: confirmed UT Tue
July 2 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, VP. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v [and/or 2130]

0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW

Also check 9330 WBCQ for unscheduled airings during testing phase.

[it appears we will now be running on a Friday-to-Thursday cycle, so
freshest new airings are on weekends]

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505, July 2 at 0433, no signal from WRNO. Other reports
indicate it now turns off circa 0400 if it has been on at all, and
thus no more Chinese on and off until 1300*. `Grace for Today`, the
Chinese-language broadcast, still has a place on the website which
never gave any exact schedule info:
http://www.wrnoworldwide.com/grace-for-today/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, July 2 at 0546, WTWW-2 is on not with rock music, but
a far-right political talk show. Reminds me of one Ted ran for a while
last year, originating nearby in Tennessee; not sure if this is the
same one. It`s hard to copy what the host is saying despite bigsig
along with the 5072/5098 JBA spurs. But I make notes for the next few
minutes.

He has a YL sidekick talking at first, about Antifa, but most of the
time she just makes assenting noises. Topic is Portland, where there
was some kind of confrontation; ``crush them!`` Says program is
Sunday-Thursday and the third hour is coming up. He likes 3-hour
format better than 1-hour. Already at 0551 he says ``Be right back
after top-of-hour news break``. But then an adstring for questionable
products such as how to collect $ 1795 a month from the federal
government; somebody selling turkey meat; survivalist food stocking.

It`s the Pete –something- show, and at 0555 starting the third hour,
so either his clock is way fast or this is a playback. I thought the
Portland affair occurred several weeks ago but maybe this is something
newer? Deb Jordan is the guest(?) co-host(?). They go on to equate
liberals with communists; ``Portland is Communist Central``. Keeps
going right past real ToH with no ID break by 0603. 0609 plugs his
website preparewithpete.com i.e. Pete Santilli, selling emergency food
supplies for hefty prices; why not Walmart? Nothing there about a
radio show.

He doesn`t give a phone number but nevertheless takes a call, another
clue that this be an editied playback. Interrupted by some dead air.
``Communists have infiltrated our country``. Then refers to being on
WTWW (and no other stations mentioned), asking calls to 563-999-1479
supposedly at or via WTWW, but search on that exchange leads to
Muscatine, Iowa. I reawaken at 0650 just as he is signing off until
9:00 tomorrow = live at 0200 UT if referring to CDT zone. Then a VPN
ad as I turn off. Is there anything about this at http://wtww.us
website? Of course not! altho still featured is the long-gone `Dave
Ramsey Show` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, July 2 at 1653, no signal from WTWW-1, but weak S9-S6
vs noise level and just barely modulated on 5830. So once again Ted
has failed to make the night/day frequency change nominally at 1400,
and now it`s almost ``noon`` when 51 meters is not usable. A pity for
SFAW and PPPP. But it does qualify as both SSOB and OSOB, continuing
past 1701+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17774.994, July 2 at 1416, S9+20 of dead air except for some
hum; had not been there when I went by about 1410. So KVOH has come on
without modulation, perhaps with sporadic E boost. Next check at 1641
no signal at all when normally it would at least be detectable without
Es. About 6 Hz off to the low side, so we still wonder if it`s the old
or new transmitter having problems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 103.9 WBFM, July 2 circa 1630 UT on caradio, a weak gospel
huxter here where normally I hear nothing. No significant tropo
enhancement beyond marginal Level 1 per Hepburn map.

WTFDA shows one likely Okie, as in Osage: KOSG Pawhuska, 6/6 kW, 100
meters, ``SOUTHERN GOSPEL - THE GOSPEL STATION``

But always must also check Kansas, where we find KHYM, Copeland,
100/100 kW, 229m, ``SOUTHERN GOSPEL - PRAISE & ENCOURAGEMENT``.
Copeland is an insignificant town WSW of Dodge on US Hwy 56, except
for KHYM which has a bunch of translators in KS & OK,
https://khymfm.org/listen-near-you/
including 90.3 in Fairview near Enid, but WTFDA DB does not connect
KHEV with KHYM. In fact you will hear KHYM IDs there a lot more than
KHEV.

KHYM is almost exactly twice as far from Enid as KOSG, 276 km/171
miles vs 141 km/87 miles, but I suspect the 16x power differential
still makes KHYM more likely. Of course if there is a next time I
could try to match it to 90.3 KHEV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
