get the same subchannels, no longer the extra ones up to -202.

This is obviously still our local K17JN-D satellator from same site
just west of Enid, N of Chestnut Ave, W of Boomer and E of St Hwy
152.

But now it`s identifying as KCYH-LD!!! and remapping to ch 41!!!
That`s really the Clarion Broadcasting Group parent station in Ardmore
at the other side of Oklahoma. FCC TV Query shows it on RF 34, but a
CP for 41, and yes, that CP is still at G.C. for Ardmore, not Enid;
and FCC still lists K17JN-D with its near-Enid G.C.

When tuned directly to 41-2 and 41-4, the STB shows no signal on RF

union`s objexion, from the press agency, originally via Roberto
Scaglione, bclnews.it:

DO NOT DESTROY RADIO ROMANIA INTERNATIONAL!

The Romanian Syndicate of Journalists MediaSind, through the Radio
Romania Branch, expresses its concern at the intention of the SRR
president-general director, Georgică Severin, to suspend the shortwave
broadcast of the Radio Romania International station.

Due to the superficiality with which the responsible factors of the
institution treated the problem of the allocated budget, the Romanian
Broadcasting Society lost, at the last rectification, 10 million lei,
an amount without which the good functioning of the company cannot be
ensured.

In order to cover this consistent deficit, according to some public
statements of the President - General Manager, the expenses with the
shortwave transmitters owned by Radiocom, which broadcasts Radio
Romania International (RRI) programs in 13 languages, would be cut.
dialects.

The 'solution' to closing the shortwave emission, even if it is the
most handy, having immediate effect, is a totally wrong one. Indeed,
as hypocritically motivated by the Georgica Severin decision, these
transmitters are not useful in the country, with the expansion of the
FM network.

The gravity of the decision of the Radio management is, however, a
huge one, undermining even the national interest, with which even
Georgică Severin has no right to play. Let us not forget that Romania
has the second diaspora in the world, as a percentage of the
population, after Syria. From the recent estimates of the Ministry for
Romanians Everywhere, around the country live about 9.7 million
countrymen whom we have to treat as Romanians with full rights, who
have the right to information, including by Radio Romania
International.

The head of the SRR, Georgică Severin, had to make energetic and
repeated requests from the Government in order to obtain sufficient
funds for the good functioning of the institution, including for the
antennas, taking into account the future presidential elections of
2019 and parliamentary from 2020. Why Is the main means of
transmitting messages to Romanians abroad exactly during this
pre-election period being abolished? Should we consider this gesture
merely as a sign of disrespecting the diaspora?

On the other hand, it should be noted that RRI issues programs for the
Aromanian communities in the world, as well as for foreigners, in
general, interested in Romania and the geographical area in which we
are, RRI being thus an efficient polyglot software soft diplomacy
tool. .

Let us not forget then that the shortwave broadcast has a strategic
character, because, in case of necessity, of disasters, of calamities,
but also of suspension, by hostile decisions of Romania, of the
Internet, the Romanian state can communicate with the Romanians from
abroad and with the world at large. As it is known, the Internet is
extremely vulnerable to political decisions. Also, in the case of
catastrophic floods, earthquakes, conflicts, short waves remain the
only reliable way to communicate with the world.

Therefore, the idea of ​​stopping the shortwave broadcast, coupled
with another simplistic idea that RRI will successfully broadcast on
the Internet, can produce serious effects, jeopardizing Romania's
national security.

Exiting the Internet only means, in fact, closing the RRI station,
which is in contravention of Law 41. According to art. 1 of the law,
SRR makes programs for abroad, not online content; broadcast means
radio broadcast, not online!

The exit of the RRI from the shortwave frequencies (this is a heritage
of about 7,000 frequencies that are traded biannually by international
broadcasters) will result in the loss of frequencies in favor of other
countries. At the same time, Radiocom stations in Ţigăneşti, Săftica
and Galbeni, where the 5 stations used for RRI are located, will be
closed and Radiocom employees will be relocated or even fired. And as
according to a harmful Romanian tradition, any provisional decision
becomes final, it is hard to believe that it will return to the
previous situation, to the issuance on short waves, even if the
Government would allocate the necessary funds.

Closing the shortwave transmitters, without offering other means of
transmission in exchange, would practically equate to the
disappearance of the station; radio means broadcast on radio waves,
analog or digital; a station on the Internet is no longer radio, it's
just a multimedia product.

The next logical step, after a possible shutdown of the shortwave
emission at RRI, will be the personnel restructuring. See the unhappy
experience with Radio3Net station, which is only online and
experimentally on DAB, in Bucharest, which has under-sized staff, even
under the conditions of online production.

We consider that giving up the short wave, in whole or in part, is not
a decision that falls within the competence of a president-general
director because it concerns Romania's strategic interests. In this
situation, the CSAT opinion should be requested and, in the
Parliament, the Law on the organization and functioning of the SRR
should be changed. Or, Georgică Severin is far from having the
agreement of these institutions.

The role of RRI has been and is very important: promoting the country
abroad and spreading Romania's opinions worldwide. By giving up any
transmitter, whether from long, short or medium waves, the main object
of activity of the SRR is affected, which is the realization and
dissemination of programs (according to art. 15 of law 41).

Taking into account the serious situation that could arise as a result
of the decision of the head of SRR, MediaSind Radio Romania requests
the Parliament of Romania to intervene in an emergency regime to stop
the destruction of the Radio Romania International station.

Communication Department MediaSind Bucharest, August 26, 2019``

RRI has NOT been totally closed down yet, as some posts imply!

``6040 in French on-air now; 7420 in Romanian on-air now. Logs at
0102-0128 UT Sep 2, 2019. Greetings, José Ronaldo Xavier, Cabedelo-PB,

Here`s the full A-19 schedule of RRI, to keep checking out:

If Romanian SW sites be totally closed, IRRS will also be out of luck
for relays such as 7290 for WORLD OF RADIO Mondays at 1816.5; maybe
they will switch to Secretbrod, Bulgaria? (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1997 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
Sept 1 at 2155 the 2130 on WRMI 7780, fair, only by checking UTwente

enough to audiblize even with noise reduxion.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 2 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S7-S9; and
JBA in HLNL on 7780. (Neither of these audible at UTWente SDR, 0150)

Also confirmed UT Monday September 2 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, S9+10 vs
HNLN, after ``Everglades`` ID.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 2 from 0320 until 0329.5 concluding

detect any signal on 6160v. BTW, 5130.4 not making it to UTwente SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 2 at 0330 on WRMI webcast,
interrupting canned ID so WOR Opening is not upcut. Earlier at 0313
check, 9955 was VP S3-S4.

Best DX wishes, Glenn Hauser

** CUBA. 9778-9779, Aug 31 at 0348, CRI Plus English relay on 9790-AM
at S9+40/50! Also has FMish spur around this area, and somewhat
readable if tuned in FM mode. Much weaker one on hi side around 9801;
another blob circa 9668 may have been something else. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9640.04, Aug 31 at 1345, RHC 9640.0 with hum & crackle, and
additional carrier +40 Hz. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, Aug 31 at 0354, Station YHWH presumed is JBA
in HNL with Noise Reduxion switched on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1490, Aug 30 at 2132 UT; Aug 31 at 1835 UT, KMFS Guthrie,
Jimmy Swaggart`s sobbery radio station, continues open carrier/dead
air, reconfirmed by DF from Guthrie direxion. I wonder if they know,
even care about this, back in Bâton Rouge (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17 DTV, Aug 31 at 2305 UT, K17JN-D Enid, 3ABN
satellator, no change, still multiple channels all broken up as it
tries to cram entire satellite transponder feed thru broadcast TV
transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Friday August 30 at 2203, REE Justin Coe playing some
Joan Baez and talking about her; why? her last concert in July before
retiring was in Madrid. Usual VG signal at this hour but affected by
local hi line noise level which now is extending up to 12 MHz, altho
diminished (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1997 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday August 30 at 2200, on WRMI 9955, S9-S4 and not upcut
unlike the airings at 2100.

Also confirmed UT Saturday August 31 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/20
including high line noise level which built up again quickly after our
heavy rainfall temporarily quelled it Friday morning.

Also confirmed Sat Aug 31 at 1448 the 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio,
9485-CUSB, not on the UTwente SDR, but barely audible on the OH5AE SDR
vs huge splash from 9490 Romania.

Also confirmed Sat Aug 31 at 2100 on WRMI 9955 after IS & ID loop.
That stopped by 2100:00, but WOR JIP a sesquisecond later at 2100:01.5
when I am already at ``--- 1997``, as the first eight words already
started playing out several seconds earlier before the unsynchronized
transmitter picked up the feed. I wonder if this happpen to other 2100
programs? Next:

Earlier WRMI was bracing to close down all transmitters if winds were
high enough to cause antenna arcing; this now seems less likely, but
Okee might still be on the edge of the projected path of Hurricane
Dorian. They hoped to keep the `test` frequency of 5800 on the air
without explaining how.

No further FB notices by end of August, but here is one reply earlier:
``Jorge Garzón Gutiérrez --- ¿Precisan monitorizar la fx de 5800 para
comunicar si hay algún fallo o comprobar la calidad? Lo podemos
comunicar desde el norte de España. Mucha precaución y coraje!!!``

Also for the record, a phone number change: ``August 29 at 2:51 PM ·
WRMI Audio by Phone --- The telephone number to hear our live stream
on 9955 kHz has recently changed. The new number is +1-641-741-1762.
We will try to update on online and on-air announcements as soon as
possible`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat Aug 31 from 0000, AAAWWW on WBCQ, this time
more talk about radio and tech than politix, so listen some more. At
0023 he says that the Super-Station will be testing ``this`` week on
three new frequencies, 12120, 15705 and 17735 at various times,
probably staring at 50 kW level, then 100, 150, 200, 250, 500, 600.

(This corresponds to the latest HFCC registration as 500 kW, Arabic
only, 60 degrees only --- so who needs a rotatable antenna? from 0900
on 15705, 1200 on 17735, and 2000-0857 on 12120 --- oblivious of the
continuous RTTY on 12120 who won`t be too happy about being blasted by
500 kW of broadcast RF. Per UDXF Logs it`s the US Navy`s ubiquitous
NAU in Isabela, Puerto Rico).

So WBCQ must have got the needed documentation on how to tune up on
other frequencies than 9330. But are there any ex-Ampegon engineers
back at WBCQ by now?

9330, BTW is on the air now and close to 9330.0, but NOT the SS. At
0055 I check all five frequencies despite the HLNL: 9330.0 S9 and
almost as good as 7490.1 at S9+10; 6160.1 at S9+10; 5130.37 at S9+20,
but 7, 6 and 5 readings include the HLNL. 3264.9 is as always JBA.

As usual he gets to E-mail near the end of the hour, says there isn`t
much this week; but somehow keeps going way over until 0118, cut to
``He Is Coming Again`` hymn, except on 5 MHz which has changed to
unreadable talk something. Here`s John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started a few seconds early on 7490. Allan and Angela
in the studio this evening. Opening comments about Florida and the
hurricane. First phone call at 0012 from Freddie. Superstation is down
for now because of antenna work so the 9330 broadcast this evening is
from a classic transmitter. It was also announced that the 6160
transmitter had been retubed at a cost of thousands of dollars.
Special fall rates for 6160 of thirty-five dollars per hour. Allan
said time on the transmitter is open except for AAWWW slot. He also
announced that the 6160 transmitter was running compatible side
band.

It was also mentioned that soon there would be open time on 3265 for
sale. In response to Freddie he said that the plenum had not been
replaced as of yet so 3265 was still running on backup transmitter.
Then Allan said to watch his twitter feed next week as testing would
resume on the superstation. They would be trying 12120, 15705 and
17735.

Next phone call at 0027 with caller singing the praises of a
discontinued Grundig receiver. Angela then had a question about an
article she'd read about 5G dumbphones and increased radiation and
health risks. Allan went into a long discussion about the different
types of radiation, effects of microwaves, amount of radiation from
dumbphones from 1G to 5G. Phone call from Ramsey at 0041 continues
discussion of harm of RFI, EMI etc. Phone call at 0049 on the other
phone while Ramsey was still on the air. Finished the call with Ramsey
and then Pirate Joe gave a signal report and then continued the
discussion of radiation from devices.

Reading of emails at 0059 and closing prayer at 0109. Program was off
the air at 0118 and 7490 went into what was assumed to be Brother
Stair. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 1090, Aug 31 at 0403 UT, dead air loops E/W, no doubt KAAY
Little Rock tho some understation talk is JBA. By 0405 KAAY revives
with country hymn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9369.0-USB, Aug 31 at 1343, 2-way in Spanish INTRUDERS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 0022 UT September 1
