** 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. Also confirmed by Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria: ``GERMANY, World of Radio #1992 via Hamburger Lokalradio on July 28 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjCxNFUNTc0&feature=youtu.be https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/07/world-of-radio1992-via-hamburger_28.html 1030-1100 7265 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu English Sun, weak/fair`` Next: 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 7780 to NE 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW [6160v, 3265v too?

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** 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) This report dispatched at 1951 UT July 28

** 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 Hamburger Lokalradio on July 27: https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/07/world-of-radio1992-via-hamburger.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yGtNk1eWek&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM1FnC2mNCU&feature=youtu.be 0630-0700 on 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu English Sat, fair`` 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: 2100 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0130 UT Sunday WRMI 5850 to NW 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315] ND 1030 UT Sunday HLR 7265-CUSB Germany to WSW 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 7780 to NE 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW 1130 UT Monday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW 1816 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania ND 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE 0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW [2 editions] 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE (mp3 stream) http://www.w4uvh.net/wor1992.m3u (mp3 download) http://www.w4uvh.net/wor1992.mp3 Or via http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html Also linx to podcast services. Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** 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 DIGEST) This report despatched at 2037 UT July 27

** 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 with the R75 instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non].

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) This report dispatched at 1834 UT July 26

Thursday, July 25 2019
** 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: 2200 UT Friday WRMI 9955 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 0629vUT Saturday HLR 6190-CUSB Germany 1000 UT Saturday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW [Aug 3, 17, alt. weeks] 1130 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 1430 UT Saturday HLR 9485-CUSB Germany 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2100 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 0130 UT Sunday WRMI 5850 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315] 1030 UT Sunday HLR 7265-CUSB Germany 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 7780 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW 1130 UT Monday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW 1816 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW [2 editions] 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** 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 DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1804 UT July 25
