** CHINA. 11460, June 24 at 1416, CNR-1 jammer at S5-S7, on an SOH
frequency. Only WOOB one found in a 10-16 MHz scan, altho there is a
suspicious JBA carrier on 14700, unlisted in EiBi or Aoki/NDXC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY. 17690, June 24 at 1409, JBA carrier with flutter (or with
jammer CCI). Aoki/NDXC shows only VOA Tibetan via Lampertheim during
this hour only. Don`t usually hear a carrier here; only other signals
on band are 17615+ Saudi JBA carrier, and more than that already from
17775 KVOH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, June 24 at 0602, JBA carrier, presumed SIBC.
Seems awfully early, but Honiara sunset will be 0710, now at its
earliest; at 10 degrees south it varies only 30 minutes over the
course of a year. Wonder if they are modulating too? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1987 monitoring: confirmed Sunday

** U S A. 9330.00 (I don`t write 9330.000 since I am not axually
bothering to measure it to that detail, but probably), Sunday June 23
at 2130, WBCQ-6 superpower test is on, but this week modern rock, and
not simulcasting `Marion`s Attic` from 7490 like happened partially
last week. At 2205 I find it is now = much weaker 7490v with `Uncle
Bill`s Melting Pot` including some Turkish music. Unknown what was at
2230, but before 2400 Harry Shearer`s `Le Show` is wrapping up on
9330, so that is still // 7490 unlike the 2300 hour last Sunday. At
0000 UT Monday June 24, 9330 goes into an `Allan Weiner Worldwide`
replay, instead of `Encore` classical music now on 7490, and which I
hear on webcast. Unknown what at 0100, but before 0300, another AWWW
hour is ending from at 0200 start, somewhat curtailed in order to cut
to // Area 51, 5130+ for WORLD OF RADIO, thanks! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, June 24 at 0601, S9+30 of dead air from WTWW-2, also
the constant companions much weaker plus/minus ~12.9 kHz spur carriers
just above 5072 and just below 5098. Maybe recently finished Sunday
night broadcast and not turned off yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, UT Monday June 24 at 0606 UT, surprised to hear a
program promo from WJNL, and into Jim Bohannon --- dominant on
frequency vs KGYN or whatever, with SAH of 186/minute = just over 3
Hz. Still there at 0629 UT joint ID with three FM frequencies starting
with 94.5, and ads mentioning Mackinaw and Traverse City.

No wonder I`m getting it since NRC AM Log shows WJNL is a 50 kW
non-direxional daytimer! Plus 2500 watts critical hours, which this is
not. CoL Kingsley MI, which is just south of Traverse City.

It`s in a group ``The Information Station`` which also includes:
WHAK-960, WWMN-106.3, WJML-1110, W266CS-101.1, but that does not
account for the one FM frequency I copied, 94.5.

The WTFDA FM Database is inaccessible (but not its whats new page).
Per FCC AM & FM Query searches, 94.5 would be 50 kW WYPV in Mackinaw
City, same licensee Mitten News as WJNL.

Anyhow, we have here a 50 kW ND daytimer on the air in the middle of
the night, so should get out widely if they do it again! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1550, June 24 at 1325 UT, more than two hours after LSR here
of 1115 UT, dead air from NE/SW and a SAH of 264/minute = 4.4 Hz. At
1330 UT now modulating ESPN. The only fit around here per NRC AM log
is KESJ St Joseph MO, 2.5 kW ND at day; discounting KYAL Sapulpa OK,
also 2.5 kW but eastward from here (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1700, June 24 at 1331 UT open carrier/dead air. Can`t
get a sharp DF on it; got to be either KKLF TX or twice-as-far KBGG IA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHAD [non]. 5960, June 23 at 0550, VP African song, S6-S7, R.
Ndarason Internationale this hour via ASCENSION. 7415 takes over after
0600. Kuwait is supposed to be on 5960 before and after this hour,
probably off-frequency, but inaudible now this late by 9 am there
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 11120, June 22 at 1257, CNR1 jammer, Chinese talk,
S8-S9+10.

12500, June 22 at 1258, CNR1 jammer now in music, S7-S9, // 11785.

12870, June 22 at 1258, CNR1 jammer, S7-S9.

Then in a very quick bandscan, these are the only three WOOB ones
found 9-15 MHz, and all go off at 1300*. All three are CNR1/Sound of
Hope frequencies per EiBi, but no trace of low-power SOHs here,
off-frequency; Aoki/NDXC misses 12870, nothing between 12820 and 12880
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. 9395, UT Sun June 23 at 0000, WRMI with Radio for
Peace International, sign-on with faux beep timesignal, IDs in
English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and into woman lexuring in
French. So this is *not* monthly as Ivo had assumed, but weekly --- or
rather, I think it`s a replay of same program last week. So maybe is
produced only monthly repeatedly aired weekly. Will they ever get around
to English via WRMI? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, K17JN-D, Enid, back on the air June 22 at 1430 UT
check; had been missing yesterday. Not only ``no signal`` but no
signal from the 3ABNers.

RF 23, KSBI ``52`` continues to be the one major OKC DTV station with
a marginal/insufficient signal to decode reliably on either of my
external antennas; STB signal meter shows it on the BAD verge. Why?
It`s never been up to par since repacking from RF 50. Which means we
can`t get reliable reception of its subchannels either, which are not
on cable: Bounce, Laff, Grit and Escape, per rabbitears.info.

For KSBI, rabbitears.info shows
1085' 1000 kW ND (E) (Vertical ERP: 300 kW)
(63.4 kW + 11.98 dB gain = 1000 kW ERP)

Compare to its owner, KWTV RF 25:
``1568' 748 kW DA (E) (Vertical ERP: 249 kW)
Directional Pattern [almost ND, minor caves]
(64.4 kW + 10.65 dB gain = 748 kW ERP)``

or the other licensed parameters, one of them temporary? Both on same
tower per precise coördinates:

``1085' 819 kW ND (E) (Vertical ERP: 245.7 kW)
(65.2 kW + 10.99 dB gain = 819 kW ERP)``

Which mean by ERP, that KWTV ought to have a lesser signal, certainly
not the case as received in Enid. I guess being almost 500 feet higher
on the tower make the difference? Will KSBI ever get raised?

As of last Nov 30, see DXLD 18-49 for an explanation of the situation

Alan Gale from his location in England: ``Hi Glen[n], Nothing at all
heard on 9485 kHz again from HLR, but I thought I might at least catch
the new relay of WoR on 15770 kHz at 2030 UT, but the band had pretty
much faded out here by then. It's usually a much better signal at that
time of the day, but conditions have been a bit disturbed on there for
the past few days, even during the afternoons. It's back to IRRS on
7290 kHz at 1815 on Monday again then; at least that has been coming
in very well here in recent weeks. Alan``

Confirmed by gh, Saturday June 22 at 2044 the new 2030 on WRMI 15770,
S8-S6.

Also confirmed Sat June 22 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, S6-S8, as usual JIP
theme music after my first eleven words, as the playout continue to
start early before this transmitter switch to program feed after IS &
ID loop. Maybe I should start my utterances twice in a row.

There was a special WOR broadcast on WBCQ-6, 500 kW Super-station
test, Sat June 22 at 2130 on 9330.00, tnx to Larry Will. He notified
me ahead of time but unfortunately there was a typo giving the time as
2310, so we and those I quickly notified missed it; checked at 2310,
Timtron was on.

Confirmed UT Sunday June 23 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, very good S9+20/30.

** U S A. Here`s John Carver`s version of `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, on
WBCQ, UT Sat June 22 at 0000:

``Tonight's show started just a bit early again after some fill music
on 7490. Freddie calls right after the theme song ends. I think it's
Allan and Angela in the studio as I haven't hard anyone else. Allan
says he's being broadcast tonight on the new transmitter at full
power.

Checking 9330 I have it at 20 over without adjusting the antenna tuner
or changing the pre-selector. Allan states that the tube that had the
damaged socket weighs two hundred and fifty pounds and has been
repaired. He also stated that they were renaming the program again to
Angela and Allan Weiner World Wide.

They're still working on the antenna every day between seven in the
morning till around four in the afternoon so testing only at night. He
said that the sign on date would be July 8. Freddie finally booted off
the phone at 0024 and another phone call immediately while at the same
time another telephone was ringing in the studio. Another phone call
at 0027. Again during the phone call two other phones in the studio
were heard ringing.

TimTron on the phone at 0033 commenting on the signal strength at his
QTH and again another phone in the studio ringing. Lots of good
reports from Australia, Allan says. Phone call from Canada at 0036.
Allan said that they had received a phone call from someone in
Virginia during the last test at full power. Said he guy didn't own a
shortwave radio and was picking up 9330 on the smart speaker he'd
installed in his ceiling and was asking how to stop the radio signal
from coming in. Said he wanted to stop it.

Phone call at 0039 from a FM station owner in Kansas who'd just bought
a SW receiver a month ago and had stumbled across 9330. Asked some
questions about the station and Allan asked questions about his
station. Said he had a good signal on a portable with just the whip.
Reading of emails at 0054 and closing prayer at 0101. Program was off
the air at 0105. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 9330.00, Sat June 22 at 2043, WBCQ-6 already on at S9+25,
song in Spanish; after 2300 it`s TimTron, and UT Sun June 23 at 0115
`Lumpy Gravy`, Larry Will & Jane acknowledging reception reports,
presumably // 5130+ buried in the noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 5085, June 22 at 2330, WTWW-2 is off, but webcast is about
ham radio field day instead of `Theater Organ in [sic] the Ozarx`;
recheck at 2355, now webcast is stereo TOITO so I missed most of it.
By 0546, 5085 is on with rock but weak, only S9; WTWW-1, 5830 is also
on at 0549 but only S3-S7 and as usual undermodulated (Glenn Hauser,

2046-2047, JBA blobcarriers at intervals of 61.1 or 61.0 kHz. Question
is whether these be spurs out of a SWBC station, or some local device?
Probably the latter. The top one I first thought might be out of WEWN,
but 15610 is much weaker. I`ve often noted a JBA carrier on 15435,
which may be Sa`udi Arabia only between 1450 and 1800 (Glenn Hauser,
