** 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) This report dispatched at 1921 UT July 2

Tuesday, July 02 2019
** 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) This report dispatched at 0058 UT July 2

Sunday, June 30 2019
** 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. Still no reports of anyone hearing any of the three broadcasts via Hamburger LokalRadio, 6190, 9485 or 7265. Next: 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 changed to 7780? 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 [and 9330? last 2 weeks special] 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW 1816 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania 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. 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 DIGEST) This report despatched at 1946 UT June 30

** 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 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 changed to 7780? 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 [and 9330? last 2 weeks special] 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW 1816 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania 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.

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 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0115 UT June 30
