Hauser
** 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]
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780
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
DIGEST)

Hauser
** CUBA. 5040, July 1 at 0525, RHC English during mailbag is JBM and
suptorted rather than often the best modulated outlet; 6100 is loudest
S9+40 and slightly distorted; 6165 is S9+20/30 but sounds much weaker
due to undermodulation; 6000 is S9+20/30 too by very suptorted. Wiggle
those patchcords! At least all four frequencies are on; as the Cuban
Fifth, 6060, seems gone for good. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 11769.9, July 2 at 0608, VON S6-S9 in presumed Hausa, ex
7254.9 and sometimes 9689.9. Is anyone ever hearing them on those
frequencies now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1988 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov says:
``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on 6190 CUSB, June 29:

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

[still no reports from him or anyone about HLR Sat 1430 on 9485, or
Sun 1030 on 7265]

Confirmed Sunday June 30 at 2146 the 2130 on WRMI 7780, VP.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 1 at 0130 still on WRMI 9395, S9+10,
altho this airing had been erased from websked; and now also on 7780
as a separate playout a couple seconds behind, very poor in noise. The
9395 airing continues to be preceded by a strange ``Son-Power Radio on
5850, 7455 and 9395`` ID, which followed a rendition of the song
``Those Were the Days``.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 1 one hour later at 0230 on WRMI 7780,
poor vs noise level.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 1 at 0301 on Area 51 webcast; and WBCQ
5130.37v which checked a bit earlier during JL was S9+10 including
noise level. This week, superpower 9330 is taking the night off.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 1 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, fair-good.

Next:
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780
0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 editions]
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v [and/or 2130]
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780
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. 9330.00, late UT June 30, no sign of 500 kW WBCQ-6 this
Sunday evening, but by 0030 UT Monday July 1, the other WBCQ is fading
up a bit with Brother Scare on 9330.139V.

9330.00 is back by 0005 check July 2, usual bigsig, Allan Wiener on
the phone from that hamfest in New Hampshire he always goes to,
several weeks ago, someone else hosting his program.

Meanwhile `From the Isle of Music` has to make do with much weaker
7490+v, and much stronger webcast.

Meanwhile2, background info on World`s Last Chance, due to take over
9330 in one week, has emerged, tnx to Richard Langley on the WOR
iog:

``Southwest Florida Online - Sunday Morning News
From LaBelle, Florida for Hendry and Glades County and the Lake
Okeechobee region. Don Browne, editor. Friday, June 28, 2019


http://swflorida.blogspot.com/2019/06/flat-earth-programs-on-worlds-most.html

The newly constructed high power shortwave station and gigantic fully
rotatable antenna system is funded by World’s Last Chance, LLC, a
Wyoming corporation and religious ministry headed by Galal P. Doss, a
former Seventh-Day Adventist and wealthy cosmetics company owner from
Egypt.

Galal Doss has a track record of making bizarre prophecies,
anti-Catholic videos, and claims the earth is flat (watch one of the
organization's "flat earth proof" videos above) and says calendars
should be lunar based on the moon phases and their interpretation of
the Bible. Posted by Don Browne at 2:41 PM ``

Stephen Michael Kellat, an IRS employee, replies:

``After calling the charity verification hotline at IRS and looking
through the database hosted by the Wyoming Secretary of State, this
group appears to not be organized as if it were a church under Wyoming
law and they're not on the roster of organizations at IRS for tax
deductibility of donations. Comparing its organization papers against
those of more traditional churches show some big differences as
World's Last Chance has a general LLC incorporation as if you weren't
sure if you were going to open restaurant or start manufacturing
widgets. If you had any concerns about the group's tax situation, you
can always fill out a Form 3949-A (Information Referral) found online
at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf and send it in to the
Fresno processing campus for the triage team there to review`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, UT Monday July 1 at 0607, Jim Bohannon theme and
opening, just like exactly one week ago at this time from WJNL, 50 kW
daytimer cheating from Kingsley MI near Traverse City. Audible with
KGYN Guymon OK nulled as much as possible, which also may have been
out of order rather than protecting WPHT. Standard inquiry? No (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7312.85-USB, approx., July 1 at 0628, poor 2-way perhaps
in accented French (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hauser
** CUBA. 12200, June 30 at 0535, RHC `Music with a Message`, somewhat
distorted at S6-S7, second harmonic of 6100, which is S9+30 with the
same overmodulation distortion. While // 6165 is S9+10/20 and
undermodulated but not distorted; // 6000 same S9+10/20 suppressed
modulation yet is distorted (i.e. suptorted). // 5040 is S9+10/20 with
less distortion. Show features old American protest songs, just
another attempt to further its anti-American mantra. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11880, June 30 at 1344, CRI relay transmitter is already on
with S9+20 of open carrier prior to 1400 broadcast in English. Think
how many nutritious meals undernourished Cubans could be fed for the
expense of broadcasting 250 kW of nothing for a quarter-hour. Not to
mention all the dead air from spy numbers frequencies. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185, June 30 at 0327, NO signal from XEPPM, as Manuel
Méndez, Spain has also been noting for a few nights. Let`s hope
Mexico`s last SWBC station is not gone forever too (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 11769.9, June 30 at 0602, talk presumed Hausa from Voice
of Nigeria, S9/S9+10 and somewhat undermodulated. Nothing to be heard
on 7254.9 or 9689.9. It seems that VON has replaced all its previous
frequencies with this one; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 9545, June 30 at 0455, JBA signal, S3-S4 with
traces of modulation, presumed SIBC as Ron Howard has reported
reactivated on its daytime frequency scheduled until 0500* switch to
5020 (and which carrier becomes audible by 0600 as I have noted). So I
listen carefully whether this 9545 will turn off – yes! Cut at
0459:23*. 24 hours earlier, Wolfgang Bueschel measured it on the
Brisbane remote: ``9544.998 1/2 kHz at 0453 UT on June 29``.
(Meanwhile the only other Pacific signal, NZ on 9700, has just come on
at S9+10 for one hour.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1988 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday June 30 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, VG S9+20/30.

Also confirmed UT Sun June 30 at 0328 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, only 2
minutes into, so started circa 0326. S9+20/30 but that includes
considerable summer storm noise level, none nearby.

** U S A. 7490+, June 30 at 0147 just as I tune in, this WBCQ cuts off
the air amid some program, presumably `SW Saturday Night`. Maybe there
was an overall power failure or storm, as this correlates with Richard
Langley, NB at 0201:

``9330 kHz putting in a fairly good signal into NB just 100 km from
the station with the Lumpy Gravy Radio Show (not live -- from a
Thanksgiving) at 0145 UT this evening (30 June UT). At the time, 5130
kHz was airing the same program but offset a second or two. 5130 was
not heard when rechecked at 0150. 3265 kHz was also on earlier with a
different program but gone by 0150 UT, too.``

I don`t check again until 0329 when 9330.00 is on with `SW Saturday
Night` as J.P. Is starting his ``train set``; nothing at all audible
now on 7490+ or 5130+. I think there was another old AWWW playback
after 0400.

9330+, by 0534 June 30, WBCQ-6 is off and low-power Brother Scare is
resumed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050, UT Sun June 30 at 0327, WWRB is still on with gospel
huxtress, S9+20/30. I think I was already hearing it by 2300 Saturday,
but not logged. Who knows what the real schedule is? Website
http://www.wwrb.org/ remains totally outdated mentioning only winter
frequencies 3215 & 3185 [sic], and no link to a program schedule;
there may still be a now-imaginary old one lacking a link if I could
find my bookmark. Dave Frantz has made it abundantly clear what a low
priority WWRB is for him below his aeronautical business. I think 5050
is active only on Sat/Sun and Sun/UT Mon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, UT Sun June 30 at 0558, at least two talk stations
mixing with 3 Hz SAH, typical beat of KGYN OK vs WJNL MI daytimer, but
can`t get an ID past 0607. Unknown what program is on UT Sun, as
`Beyond Reality` is probably UT Tue-Sat, and Jim Bohannon was last UT
Mon. I`m confident this is still WJNL cheating, as I remain waiting to
see if anyone else ever report it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** CUBA. 5990, June 29 at 2316, CRI English relay is S7-S9 but JBM; if
// 15120, no signal there. Definitely off is 6000 RHC since this is
Saturday, so no leapfrog on 6010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIG
DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 11769.901, June 29 at 1734, JBA carrier, presumably Voice
of Nigeria, as others have been reporting it on this `new` frequency
``11770`` both morning and evening. Axually 11770 is a very old
frequency of theirs which had been disused for many years. The offset
is in keeping with all its other frequencies shifted circa 0.1 kHz to
the low side. Wolfgang Bueschel measured it June 28 on 11769.903 ---
close enough. (I also have another stronger carrier about 11770.9,
probably from a local device.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 9760, June 29 at 2321, song at S3-S6, presumed RRI; yes,
// 11800 & 11900 when a Spanish announcement soon follows. Can`t hear
any of that underneath 11700 RHC, so RRI may have wisely vacated that
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, June 29 at 2306, Türkisch musik, as once again the
sloppyrators at Emiler have dozed? failing to turn 9830 off before
2300 when Englisch is finisched. A repeat of the German hour always
follows on the program feed; I recheck just in time at 2319 to hear a
few words of German before it is chopped off the air at 2319:45*
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1988 monitoring: confirmed first
NAm SWBC, Friday June 28 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, fair, no upcut but
joined at start about 2159:50 after ID which also ran a bit early.

Also confirmed UT Saturday June 29 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, poor-fair.

No reports yet from anyone about HLR 6190 Sat June 29 at 0630v; or
9485 Sat June 29 at 1430. For the latter, no trace of a signal heard
by UTwente SDR, just huge splash from 9490 Romania.

Not confirmed Sat June 29 at 2030 on WRMI 15770 --- instead, Wavescan
as now shown on skedgrid; so that did not last long, WOR only for the
past two weeks. I go on to search the WRMI sked and find more
changes:

UT Monday at 0130 now a blank space on 9395; but WOR added on 7780,
while remaining on 7780 an hour later at 0230. To be confirmed.

Confirmed Sat June 29 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, again upcut during theme
after my first utterance, poor S7-S9 vs summer noise level.

Not confirmed Sat June 29 at 2130 on WBCQ 9330 when an ad-hoc airing
occurred last week while testing; not on the air this early. Next:
0130 UT Sunday WRMI 5850
0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315]
1030 UT Sunday HLR 7265-CUSB Germany

** U S A. 9330.00, Fri June 28 at 2200, WBCQ-6 after a rockhour,
another old `AWWW` playback starts with WTO. Reckeck UT Sat June 29 at
0000 for a new `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, yes, except it`s hosted by
TimTron, from his own studio in Skowhegan.

Whenever he or Larry Will guests, it`s an entirely different show
hardly worthy of the AWWW title. TimTron muses and plays a lot of
music, does not take calls, rather like his own show. I think I heard
only one belch. His booming voice goes nicely with the booming signal,
but never distorted. There does seem to be a background noise vox
effect buildup during brief pauses, AVC?

Says it might be his first and last time on the 500 kW. I`ll bet he`d
love to hook his ham rig up to the Ampegon antenna. As I understand
it, while ham transmitter power is strictly limited, antenna gain is
not. I`ve previously heard WA1HLR on 80 meters with a
broadcast-strength AM signal and wondered if that was really WBCQ
equipment.

Here is John Carver`s report about that hour:

Tonight's show started on time on 7490 but it's TimTron hosting
instead of Allan. Theme song plays at 0002. He marvels at the
superstation and says he never ever thought about such a thing. He
managed an analogy between the superstation and golf. Said a golfer
will study the lay of the land and chose the best club to get the ball
to the hole. Sometimes it's a ten kW club and they hope the ball makes
it there. With the superstation they're using a 500 kW club and hit
more than one hole at the same time.

He says there will be no email this evening as he's afraid that his
computer is dying and he's had enough problems with the internet relay
there that he's afraid that if he fires up another computer for email
it might blow the internet connection. No phone calls as he doesn't
want to give out his phone number. Then some music and back to talk.

Some anti-Trump talk and then waxes philosophic in an attempt to
explain how Trump got elected in the first place. He jumps back to the
Vietnam war and then jumps back and forth to explain what happened to
the people in this country and how they do or don't react to things.
Music and back to talk.

He blames part of the problem on the demise of broadcasting in this
country along with the fairness doctrine which allowed such things as
the FOX network and Rush Limbaugh. Said that with the dying out of AM
and FM stations and the cloning of stations so they all were alike
coast to coast we were in big trouble and should the internet go down
because of global conflict along with the demise of shortwave
broadcasters we'd really be in big trouble and wouldn't have the
information to make an informed choice.

Some more music, talk, music, talk with a closing jab at Trump over
immigration policies and then closed with more music. Both the program
and 7490 were off at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana``

I am rechecking 9330 after 0600 June 29 when another `AWWW` playback
is running, AW along with Tom Barna in studio. At 0620 AW recommends
reading something in RCA Broadcast News, May 1934, available at
amemricanradiohistoroy.com about what? Maybe early high-power AM
broadcasting.

9330.00 is not on by 2100 this Saturday June 29, or 2200? Retune at
2259, now on with open carrier, music and ID loop hitting S9+35-40-45;
2301, 500,000 watts ID and sirens, TimTron opening his new live June
29 show which he says is trimulcasting also on 5130+ (JBA carrier
here) and ``propagation test frequency 3265`` (zero here; and 7490
remains off). Until 2323 he`s mostly playing music, then another
500,000 watts ID.

People getting used to such super-entertainment are going to be very
disappointed when, July 8, the flat-earth World`s Last Chance ministry
takes over 9330 --- we can only hope that a bit of time can be carved
out/retained for some of WBCQ`s own programs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Sat June 29 at 2343, WTWW-2 starts `Theatre Organ in
the Ozarx` late again after some hamshow runover, so I switch to
stereo webcast which lasts until 2417, never just 30 minutes or 29.
This time I hear Bob Heil intro giving his location in the Ozarx as
Pleasant Hope --- not Pleasant Hill. I`m surprised no one ever
corrected me about that, as I contradicted him more than once pointing
out that Pleasant Hill, which is what I thought he was saying, is near
Kansas City, beyond the Ozarx. Pleasant Hope really is in the Ozarx a
few miles north of Springfield, and ARRL/FCC lookup confirms that is
where K9EID is to be found. If I make a mistake I want it corrected
sooner or later, even if I have to do it myself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, UT Sat June 29 at 0606 UT, scary theme music
recognized of `Beyond Reality Radio`, which means for the sixth night,
daytimer WJNL Kingsley MI is again operating; with ~3 Hz SAH from
KGYN, which this time even when nulled is too strong to allow much
signal from WJNL. Has anyone else logged WJNL cheating by now?? NTMK
