Hauser
** CHINA. 14850, July 28 at 1329, CNR1 jammer very poor. Bad
propagation from FE today; other JBA carriers or JBA Chinese: at 1335,
11120, 11440; at 1421, 11100, 11440;

and at 1420 on 10410, but this one is a -1390 KCRC local mix with
11800, temporary CRI English mistaken relay frequency via CUBA, q.v.,
confirmed as overload by vanishing when I switch from Preamp2 to 1.
When CRO goes back to 11880, the mix will go back to 10490 where it
``belongs`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11800, July 28 at 1403, CRI English relay is here instead of
11880!! Punch-up error, no doubt. Good modulation for a change, and
S9+20. But this frequency is *not* flanked by plus/minus 10 kHz spurs
like 11880 was; different transmitter, also accounting for the error
by an unfamiliar sloppyrator at a different site? 1405 starts
`Roundtable`. Fortunately, HFCC shows nothing at all supposed to be on
11800 at 1400-1600; nor anything in the Western Hemisphere on 11795 or
11805, only some brief Asians on the adjacents (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, UT Sun July 28 at 0030, honky-tonk music
at S9, surely Wolverine Radio which consistently puts in these bigsigs
for a pirate. 0047 just missed an ID? 0056 definite ID. Many more logs
here between 0028 and 0126:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,56335.0.html
where the keyword in song titles was ``long`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1992 monitoring: confirmed Saturday July 27
at 2107, the 2100 on WRMI 9955, poor S4-S6; so I can`t know if
transmitter was really on by 2100 this time.

NOT confirmed UT Sunday July 28 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, so our only WRMI
broadcast beamed NW across North America is a bust. 5850 is not on the
air at all, nor at earlier check 0052 past 0101, boding ill. So two of
the three Saturday times on WRMI were no-shows.

Confirmed UT Sunday July 28 at 0322 already underway the nominal 0315
on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, going from Brazil to Canada, which is 3
minutes into, so started circa 0319; S9+10 and not too much line noise
level: I then find that it`s worst between 3.0 and 9.5 MHz; also with
some peaks in the MW band such as around 1200. Hope OG&E will be back
on the case Monday.

** U S A. WBCQ special on 5130? Thread about this on the WOR iogroup:

So can anyone hear 5130.38? Is it on the air, and if so with what
``special free radio from the west`` at 20-06 UT? Would not expect it
to be on Area 51 webcast, which this was going to replace today, and
that is playing rock music (Glenn Hauser, 2234 UT Sat July 27, WOR iog
via DXLD)

I quickly checked; it's about an SIO 444 now here in MD with music on
my KiwiSDR:
http://sdr.hfunderpants.com:8073/?f=5130.3amnz10
(Chris Smolinski, Black Cat Systems, Westminster, MD USA,
http://www.blackcatsystems.com 2237 UT, ibid.)

The title comes up on a blank page (Glenn, 2246 UT, ibid.)

Browser issue? (Chris, 2248 UT, ibid.)

I guess so - that was on Firefox. Now getting it on Edge. Could not
understand an ID at 2252, then tribute to Wolfman Jack. I suspect it
is not YHWH (Glenn, 2253 UT, ibid.)

Checked 5130 a couple times 2100 and 2200 UT; pop and rock music mix
with good signal in Montreal (Gilles Letourneau, 2253 UT, ibid.)

I`ve continued listening with one ear [only via Chris` SDR]. Oldies,
with some modulation dead air breaks. IDs something like ``Campus
Radio Summer Camp``, with seemingly legit callsign IDs for three?
Indiana stations, one of them an -LP, in Bloomington; and for WBCQ
5130. Asking for calls from SWLs to 812 369 5839. Announcement breaks
circa 2304 and 2331. And other times in between, seems like live DJs
(Glenn, 2338 UT, ibid.)

This appears to be the source, higher fi and without the dropouts:
https://wiux.org/listen/991fm/
(Glenn, 0011 UT, ibid.)

Hi Glenn, Yep, I also hear WBCQ transmitting on 5130 kHz. Report is as
follows: 0105 UT -- English- Program: Music Request Show. SINPO 45334.
There is quite a bit of flutter. So, they must have managed to get it
to return to the air. 73 de (Chuck W3ON Gessner, 0112 UT, ibid.)

With GPS-sync active on my KiwiSDR, I make it 5130.317 kHz at 0135 UT
July 28. Classic rock. S9+20. Relatively good modulation with some
distortion, and some thunderstorm QRN (Jim Barrett, Elmira, NY, 0157
UT, ibid.)

Area 51 on 6160 [instead] --- Tuned in at 2245 to get my equipment
adjusted. Was mostly noise till 0003 [July 28]. Signal started to come
up and wasn't terrible. Marred by two long, noisy hets. At 0101 the
audio disappeared completely and could only hear RHC [6165]. Had to
shut off the SYNC function and go to a narrower filter to get correct
audio back. Could still hear the audio from Cuba underneath things but
could copy Area 51 (John Carver, Mid-North Indiana, 0207 UT, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Canned IDs every half hour or so, so swift that it was hard to copy
call letters. At first I thought one of them was WIUS, but that`s in
IL, and WIUX-LP correlates with Bloomington IN, as well as music
audio seemingly matching but far out of synch with WBCQ via MD SDR ---
in fact, WIUX itself about 32 seconds behind WBCQ as received here at
0014 July 28. One of the other Indiana calls sounded like WWHH, but
that`s not right for any legal station. Did anyone copy them all for
sure?

At 0024 UT July 28, I`m finally trying to hear it on my own receiver,
VP S8 on 5130.32; programming on 7490+ and 6160 all sound different at
0028. At 0047, 6160 is S9+10 vs local high line noise level.

Remember that Larry Will expected his Area 51 to be on three WBCQ
frequencies Sunday evening/UT Monday: 6160, 5130 and 3265. Please
confirm whether this applies to WORLD OF RADIO at 0300v, not just
5130+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9930, July 27 at 2101, WTWW-2 is OFF, after having been ON
during midday as in previous report, testing? Nor is there any signal
audible on 15810-, WTWW-3, which was on earlier that morning.

5085 (nor 9930) is still not on at 2336 nor by 0000 UT July 28, no
`Theatre Organ in the Ozarx` to be heard, but probably would be a
repeat, and probably on webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 1660, July 28 at 0305 UT, Waco ad making fast SAH with the
other 1660 around here, Kansas City; then Waco rejoins a Rangers game,
presumably silly baseball from Texas vs another game on KWOD. The two
are mutually nullable as usual. Checking only because MWCircle had
this item via editor Steve Whitt on July 26:

USA ESPN KRZI 1660 off air

https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/espn-central-texas-radio-station-vandalized-damage-knocks-station-off-air.html
tho it`s not clear in this brief item what the vandalism was and
replies from the P.D. indicate it was back on by the next day (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. RADIO FREE AMERICA
The greatest radio shows in America, on your schedule
https://www.radiofreeamerica.com/

Here`s their long station list:
https://www.radiofreeamerica.com/stations
it`s in alfabetical order by city, so you may want to do a search on
call letters instead.

Strangely? enough, not a single OK station, nearest being the one from
KS, HPPR (High Plains Public Radio out of Garden City).

I first heard about this from plugs on one of my favorite webcasting
stations, KSFR in Santa Fe. RFA mainly allows access to music shows on
demand for two weeks, but also linx to them when they are live.

This includes many of the best, or most diverse, public, university
and community radio stations. Some of them used to be on my Monitoring
Reminders Calendar, which I had to suspend as just too much work to
maintain. Recommended to explore RFA if you have time to listen to so
much good stuff (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALBANIA. 6020 & 9570, July 27 at 0043 check, both CRI relays to
North America are still OFF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 9665.09, July 27 at 0046, Brazuguese, so as I suspected
from previous JBA carrier log, it is indeed Voz Missionária varied up
to the plus side, after a long time well below 9665.0, and found once
even below 9664.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 11870 & 11890, July 27 at 1428, CRI English relay
on 11880 is now flanked by much weaker spurs of S5-S7 vs S9+20/30 on
11880. First time I have ever noted this, but means by now this has to
be the same transmitter airing RHC Spanish in the tardes centered on
11850 with plus/minus 10 kHz spurs on 11840 and 11860, the latter
obscured by jamming at least until RM close (and in previous seasons
all 10 kHz lower, 11830-11840-11850). Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, July 27 at 1616, RHC Spanish somewhat distorted with
hum; 11760 somewhat distorted and no hum. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 11940, July 27 at 0050, REE is managing to modulate in
Castilian, unlike last time when it was just noise. But also like last
time, the N American frequency 9690 is AWOL. 11940 for S America is
offbeam for us, and we always hear 12030 better, close to directly off
its back toward Mideast, but it is not run this late.

12030, Saturday July 27 at 1429, REE music is JBA, while 9690 is
inaudible, probably still down to North America, altho when active
this early on weekends only, it`s a poor second to 12030 for Mideast
backwards (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1992 monitoring; confirmed first
SWBC, Friday July 26 at 2200 on WRMI 9955 (which is always SSE, not
NNW as I miswrote last time --- altho a lot of us depend on its back
radiation.) Seems like lite Cuban pulse jamming starts up at same
time; tnx a lot! Anyhow, my local line noise level has relented for
the moment, allowing 9955 thru clearly at S9/+10.

Also confirmed UT Sat July 27 after 0130 on WRMI 7780, JBA in HNL.

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, confirms: ``GERMANY, World of Radio #1992 via

Not confirmed Sat July 27 at 1130 on WRMI 9955 --- a gospel huxter
instead, as now shown on the skedgrid. All the other WOR airings on
WRMI appear to be intact, including three imaginary ones between 21
and 22 on the no frequencies of System D.

Not confirmed Sat July 27 at 1430-1500 on Hamburger Lookalradio,
7265-CUSB; via UTwente SDR, as usual, not a trace of even a reduced
carrier vs huge splash from 9490 Romania. Next:

** U S A. 7490.13v, Friday July 26 at 2358, WBCQ S9+20 including
noise, so hardly readable, 6160 hardly audible as local line noise is
on again; just prior to this week`s live `AAAWWW`. But I do manage to
make some sporadic notes, none from the webcast: 5130 will air a
special on Saturday starting at 4pm ET [20 UT], ``a free radio program
coming out of the West``, but no further details. (Could it be Station
YHWH, which did a special on WBCQ previously?).

Oh oh, he says #2 transmitter on 5130 just shut down. Some fumbling
around as he tries to phone Tom while on the air, then unusually plays
a couple minutes of music from 0009. AW back before 0012 saying with
5130 off, will just be trimulcasting now instead of quadri-, i.e.
still also on 6160, 3265.

A 50 kW transmitter has been testing, retuned to 6160, which he
nicknames ``Sexy 61-60``. Now during a break in the local HNL, I can
also hear him on 6160, but 7490 is better. By 0035, between random HNL
bursts, I find 6160 at S9-S5, and no ACI yet from 6165, as RHC may not
come on until 0100. Now I measure it just a tad below 6160.00. He also
mentions that WBCQ is employing more and more computer control. Then
reads an anti-Moslem dissertation. For a more complete summary, over
to John H. Carver:

``Tonight's show started a bit early again on 7490. First voice over
during the theme music was moon bats. Allan and Angela in the studio
again. Opening talk about all the landscaping Angela is doing around
the station. Phone lines are locked down at the moment. Allan
discloses that 6160 is indeed using the old 9330 transmitter after
some TimTron modifications were added for better fidelity. Allan
announces that the 5130 transmitter has gone down and attempts to
restart it remotely. The attempt fails and he puts some music on and
goes out to the transmitter building to see if he can start it. He
returned after a few minutes and announced that the transmitter has a
grid short and will have to be worked on tomorrow morning. So they are
only transmitting on 3265, 6160 and 7490.

He states that he is very happy in general with the new transmitter
and antenna. Says it will be back on in late August as they continue
tweaking things on it. Says that airtime on 6160 will sell at about
twenty-five dollars an hour with generous discounts for blocks of
time. Wants good pirate shows, good music shows, etc. Reads some old
emails at 0035 of which one sets off some political talk. Reading of
current emails at 0058 and closing prayer at 0102. After the prayer he
announces that there will be a special program on 5130 on Saturday
starting at four Eastern. For tomorrow only the Area 51 service will
move to 6160. No phone calls allowed this evening and Allan ran out of
time before he could give the state of the station address that he
promised at the beginning of the program. Program was off the air at
0106 with no music and directly into Brother Stair. John, Mid-North
Indiana``

6159.976, July 27 at 0504 is its measurement now; wobbles slightly in
real time and probably varies more over a longer period. This is all I
can do with its JBA carrier in HNL, not determine what programming.

Earlier we had this from Larry Will in Maryland:

``Allan tells me that there is a special programming block that will
be on 5130 Saturday from 4pm to 2am US eastern time [20-06 UT]. This
displaces our Area 51 programming.

However, we will be on the new 6160 service instead. This is the
former 9330 transmitter that's been re-tuned for the new frequency.
I've been listening to this new service this week and it is putting
out a great signal, much better than 5130 during the times when Area
51 is on.

On Sunday we'll be back on 5130 but should also have a simulcast on
6160 as well.

Our regular 3265 weekend simulcast will remain in place. If I recall,
this service simulcasts Area 51 all weekend except for Pirate Joe's
talk show on Saturday night.

Allan will be on live tonight at 8 pm eastern time on
3265//5130//6160//7490. Cheers, Lw``

BUT, that arrangement will depend on whether they can get the 5130.4
transmitter working again. Note that this also implies that at 0300v
UT Mondays, WORLD OF RADIO should be on 3264.9 and 6160v, as well as
5130.38v. Can anyone confirm by monitoring? 3265 just doesn`t make it
here, especially in summer noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 15809.958, July 27 at 1502, JBA offset carrier must be
another WTWW-3 test, while neighbor 15825 WWCR is only a trifle
stronger JBA carrier. No sporadic E boost today over their
two-close-for-F2 one-megameter paths! First noted 15810 JBA carrier
via UTwente at 1458 after trying to hear WOR on 9485.

9930, Saturday July 27 at 1610, surprised to find WTWW-2 on here for
the first time in ages; very strong on caradio but no precision
measurement possible. Ted Randall in hamtalk, but his interviewee is
muffled, unreadable as if almost totally off-mike. Maybe was an axual
ham contact not patched in properly for broadcast? 1615 modulation
cuts off and on, while carrier remains steady; 1620 carrier off during
which I check all other possible WTWW frequencies on the DX-398 and
hear nothing. 1622 back on with dead air. 1623 rockmusic and jingle;
Ted asking for reports and music requests; implies a prize for those
citing a specific phrase. Apparently testing with pre-recorded
programming. Still going with rock music, ham ads past 1700; and still
at 1804 check plugging auto-music-request on website for the ``5085``
service --- but it`s 9930 now, geez (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 91.3, July 27 at 1559 UT after financial talk show, ``91.3,
KAXR Arkansas City`` ID. On caradio a few miles north of Enid; I never
hear this in Enid due to ACI from local 91.1. At this location, Enid`s
92.1 dead air and even 91.1 are losing out to CCI. KAXR is 13.5 kW, a
disposable AFR station.

91.5, July 27 before and after 1600 UT, on caradio north of Enid, two
stations combating, gospel music vs talk. Music must be KSNS, Medicine
Lodge KS, 95 kW vertical, 0 kW horizontal, just across the OK
frontier, and somewhat audible in Enid if it get past 91.7 KOSU and
its HD noise; as for the other, of the three 91.5 Okies, none likely
--- too far, too low-powered or both (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** BRAZIL. 9665.11, July 26 at 0114, JBA carrier, and nothing on the
minus side. Presume R. Voz Missionária has now slid up to the plus
side. Nothing much else propagating from ZY-land on 9 or 11 MHz (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1120, July 26 at 0124 UT, Spanish music making
heavy ~5 Hz SAH with sillyballgame in English, i.e. KETU Catoosa vs
KMOX. KETU official sunset in July is 0145 UT (August: 0115), but
supposed to be reduced from 10 to 7 kW during Critical Hours starting
at 2345 UT – that certainly does not help out KMOX here.

KETU pattern has broad major lobe slightly west of south, i.e. right
across Tulsa from the north side, with sharp nulls toward the NW
(Colorado?) and NE (St Louis), but Enid almost to the west is getting
only a fraxion off the shoulder of the lobe. On caradio it`s not
enough to overcome powerline, trafficlight noise except in a few lucky
spots.

Recheck at 1602 UT with no KMOX, ID as ``La Diferente`` and a .9 FM
frequency, presumably the translator listed on 97.9. Later in hour, ad
for Mercado Las Americas, the grocery store which I think is involved
in KETU ownership, licensed to La Zeta 95.7, which is KSEC, 6/6 kW in
Bentonville AR (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 11940, UT Fri July 26 at 0117, S8-S6 of dead air, surely REE
which is supposed to modulate here until 0200 on weekdays, for S
America; while the NAm frequency 9690 is OFF. More problems.

Alan Roe found out from Justin Coe that co-host Alison Hughes has been
on sick leave for months but expected back soon. That explains his
sole hosting of English M/W/F at 2200-2230, and mostly-music content
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Since WWV is in well on 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz, July 26 at
0121/0132, I check the NRD-545 for zero-beat tuning. It has always
required a correxion factor of about plus 10 Hz, but now I find the
offness is not linear:
5000 = tuned to 4999.99, add 10 Hz
10000 = tuned to 9999.98, add 20 Hz
15000 = tuned to 14999.97, add 30 Hz
20000 = tuned to 19999.95, add 50 Hz
These offsets are not precise since tuning display does not go down to
the 1-Hz level. My more precise .### 3-digit measurements must be made

** U S A. 15770, July 25 at 1547, WRMI in dead air, or is it JBM?
Maybe a trace; still/again DA at 1837 check instead of SMTV. What a
waste. BTW, I`m baffled why WRMI does not use a single 11 or 13 MHz
band frequency in the summer daytimes, rather 6, 7 or 9 MHz which lose
a lot to absorption and are lucky to be audible at one-hop distance
from Okee (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.2v, UT Fri July 26 at 0110, WBCQ is still on with
Brother Scare, more or less like 7570 & 7730 WRMI. WBCQ sked does not
show anything on 7490 after 0100, and 0000-0100 is an Available Time
Slot. Apparently an ad-hoc extension of TOMBS now that he`s no longer
on 9330v, but for how long?

6159.775, July 26 at 0543, JBA carrier, presumed WBCQ slipped down
from the plus side. Still too much almost-constant line noise of at
least S9 here below 9 MHz, but electric utility OG&E is now working on
locating and fixing it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 760, July 26 at 0549 UT, WJR Detroit with heavy CCI
making a SAH of 56/minute, almost 1 Hz. Normally there is no such QRM
as all the surrounding 760s are either supposed to be daytime-only, or
in the case of San Antonio, with a null toward the north; and unseems
Mexican (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALBANIA. 9570 & 6020, July 24 at 0003, no signals from CRI relays
to North America. Wolfgang Bueschel assumes Cërrik off for summer
maintenance in the 23-05 UT overnight period, other transmissions also
missing after 23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6100, July 25 at 0535, RHC English, S9+20/30 but suptorted,
and also JBA on 2 x 6100 = 12200. 6000 also suptorted and weaker; 6165
weakest but not suptorted? 5040 not suptorted but loud with hum.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Feliz 26 de julio! Patria o Suerte, ¡Pensaremos! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, July 25 at 2105, English news from RNZI, S4-S3.
Not often heard here, now propagating as their midwinter lower morning
frequency for two hours from 2059, but should be better on 13840 from
2259. No more 15720 until spring (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, July 25 at 0402, Station YHWH is back, barely
recognizable on peaks, vs cross-mod from huge 7335 & 7435 Radio Martí
signals --- not a usual problem with the R75, but maybe having to run
the noise blanker too causes it. Had been unreported for about a week,
but tnx now due to timely tips on the WOR io group from Walt Salmaniw
and Rick Barton. Still going at 0529 with better signal here (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1991 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday July 24 from *2100:25 on 9955 as yet again, WRMI cuts on
late with WOR playback already in progress, having started on time.
Such are the risks of being the very first program on a given
transmission. Initially S5-S7 vs HNL, then up to S9 for 100%
readability; power level turned up?

Simultaneously on 7490+v WBCQ? JBA carrier only and don`t get to
computer in time to check webcast before 2129; can only hope that
unlike last week, it`s just me, not mixing with BS.

Also confirmed UT Thursday July 25 at 0100, on WRMI 7780, poor-fair
S9+10 including HNL.

WOR 1992 to be ready by late UT Thursday July 25, for first SW
broadcasts Friday; note that all Unique Radio airings after 0730 are
now on 3210-USB, not 5045-USB, and no longer on Fridays at all:

** U S A. 6160.096V, July 24 at 0602, JBA carrier vs S9+20 local line
noise level which is severely impacting my DXing below 8 MHz. New
frequency of WBCQ first reported earlier in the daytime by Chris
Smolinski in Maryland. Allan Weiner had mentioned this plan on
previous AWWW July 20, and was newly registered in HFCC as 50 kW, 24
h, 245 degrees, same power and azimuth as all the other ``classic``
WBCQs. Presumed to be the off-frequency transmitter previously on
9330.1v carrying almost nothing but Brother Scare, but that frequency
open, now standing by for the 500 kW World`s Last Chance nonsense to
resume sometime in August. One might expect the same BS content on
6160, but a twit from AW via Artie Bigley says lots of time is for
sale on it.

I hear the JBA carrier again at 0101 July 25 when I make the above
measurement, tho wobbles slightly. As one might have expected, with
splash from 6165 RHC. If it`s really running all day as well as all
night, should be interesting to compare with 6070-. 1 kW CFRX Toronto
reception in closer environs.

7490.18, July 25 at 0237, music and WBCQ jingle, S9+10/20 vs HNL,
instead of `Hal Turner Show` scheduled 01-03 UT Thursdays. Also
detectable JBA carriers on 5130.38, 6160.1.

BTW, http://wbcq.com/schedule/ doesn`t show 6160 yet but includes 9330
WLC daily at 0400-0400, i.e. forever (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
