** CHINA. 12870, July 5 at 1333, CNR1 jammer at S8-S9.
13550, July 5 at 1334, CNR1 jammer at S6-S8 14850, July 5 at 1335, CNR1 jammer at S5-S7. All three are //. This time I did not dig further for carriers or beyond the 12-15 MHz range. Wolfgang Bueschel reminds us of his exhaustive survey of SOH/jammers from April 6, which he has just rechecked via remote receivers in E Asia, in the 1158-1600 UT period: he was not hearing 12870 or 13550 at whatever time he went by, and had not yet reached 14850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 12000, July 5 at 1309, `Amigos de Cuba` friends-only mailbag, S5-S8 here on second harmonic of 6000 at S9+10. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11850, July 5 at 2140, RHC Spanish here is JBM, much softer than // 11760. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15369.22, July 5 at 2145, S9 RHC Spanish knocked itself way off-frequency from 15370.0. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KUWAIT. 17550.0, July 5 at 2144, JBA carrier amid Radio Kuwait`s optimistic Arabic quadrihour for C & W North America nevertheless qualifies as both the SSOB and OSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, July 5 at 0300, VP carrier vs noise level, then barely recognize Josiah on Station YHWH just as expected. Others confirm him on here tonight; Rick Barton, AZ heard him cut on at 0243, and Walt Salmaniw, BC says he was already off when he tuned in at 0353 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1989 monitoring: confirmed first N American SW broadcast, Friday July 5 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, fair S7-S8. Next: 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 too NE 0629vUT Saturday HLR 6190-CUSB Germany to WSW 1000 UT Saturday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW [July 6, 20...] non-dir 1130 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 to SSE 1430 UT Saturday HLR 9485-CUSB Germany to WSW 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM non-direxional 2100 UT Saturday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0130 UT Sunday WRMI 5850 to NW 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315] N-D 1030 UT Sunday HLR 7265-CUSB Germany to WSW 2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to NE 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 7780-new to NE 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 [maybe also 9330?] to WSW 0330 UT Monday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0930 UT Monday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW, ND 1816 UT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania, ND 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE 0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 editions], ND 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE 0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW, ND 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, UT Fri July 5 at 0307, WBCQ-6 at S9+30/40 exclaiming ``marijuana`` several times, ``Radio Free Euphoria`` and then a song about dope. RFE is really on the WBCQ sked only at 02-03 UT Sun on 5130+v, i.e. part of Area 51. HF Underground archive has many logs of RFE when it was really a pirate on 42mb, mostly in the 2009-2012 era. 9330.00, Fri July 5 at 2137, WBCQ-6 obviously the antique music of `Behaviour Night` which is scheduled this hour on 7490.1v --- also there but *not* // and not synchronized, VP with line noise level cutting on and off, mostly on. I continue listening to 9330 for next announcement saying he is commemorating the birthday of Bix Beiderbecke, March 10, 1903 --- so this episode is obviously an archived one from March of some year --- if an exact match, it could not be 2019 since March 10 was on a Sunday. Presumably the barely audible episode on 7490.1v is a ``new`` one. 9330.00, July 5 at 2200 goes into another oldie show, giving frequency as ``7.415``, two hyper DJs but no title heard. 7490 sounds like Brother Scare now as usual during this weekday hour. Soon there is to be a lot more of him on 7490.1v, filling ``all`` unsold time, since he can no longer be on 9330.1v at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085, July 5 at 0541, WTWW-2 again with `Pete Santilli Show` of far-right talk. I suspect it start around 0400 weeknights, after DJ rock music strip (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1210, UT Fri July 5 at 0318 UT, Jim Bohannon show, soon breaking for an adstring, including AARP, MSF PSAs; Pace Publishing, babbel.com. With usual ~3 Hz SAH against KGYN. From previous research I`m certain this is still 50 kW daytimer WJNL, Kingsley MI, cheating at night. Recheck at 0600, ``WJNL News`` ID and bong before some network news. I thought the Michigan ARE Tipsheet would be interested in this, but despite my numerous previous logs of this almost nightly since June 24, no notice of WJNL; no MAREs reported it either nor anybody I can find since then. Is anyone paying attention? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 2303 UT July 5

** ANTARCTICA. 15476-, Thu July 4 at 1416, JJBBA carrier slightly on the low side, signature of LRA36 on the air; as confirmed by Manuel Méndez, Spain, later, extremely weak around 1900. I cannot detect it at 1915 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 7730, July 4 at 1248, VP in Chinese; and a JBA carrier on 7570. Better known as WRMI frequencies, but now surely CNR1 jammers. WRMI 7570 is apparently still off the air like it was last night, instead of with SMTV as scheduled 11-14 UT. However, CNR1 jamming would not be expected until 1300 VOA Mandarin hour via Thailand start. 7730 is a Sound of Hope, Taiwan frequency 23 hours a day and thus subject to continuous jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WEWN ** CUBA. 6000, July 4 at 0132, RHC English in mailbag, suptorted; // 6165 is on now JBM but less suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11670, July 4 at 0138, RHC Spanish is JBM, much softer than // 11700, 11760, 11850 --- it`s more like the JBA spurs on 11840 & 11860. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 9535, July 4 at 0541, RHC Spanish is still running now colliding with Algeria in Arabic via FRANCE, which is on 9535 at 05-06 only, expecting it to be clear! Sometimes RHC past 0500 on 9535 has switched to English feed, not this time. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 6185, July 4 at 0135, music from XEPPM, back on the air after about a week out of air, S9+10/20 but that includes the high local line noise level. Manuel Méndez, Spain, reported it earlier, and Ron Howard too, who forwards this: ``from Facebook (WRTH), from Luis Alejandro Vallebueno: "Radio Educación XEEP, 6185 kHz has been reactivated today [July 2] at 18:00 GMT with 1.5 kW. Information via Julián Santiago Díez de Bonilla and Pilar Cruz"``. Original rated power as in WRTH 2019 was 10 kW. We used to hear directly from JSDB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1989, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 11769.9, July 4 at 1923, S5-S7 carrier, no doubt VON maybe still in English but can`t hear any (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 11980, July 4 at 0545, ME music, VP S5-S7. HFCC shows it`s VOT Turkish at 04-06, 500 kW at 310 degrees toward W Europe and also USward. In previous years this transmission was listenable here for the music, but not with solar flux below 70 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1988 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday July 3 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, and finally *not* upcut, automation back in alignment after IS & ID loop, S7 vs S6 noise level when tuned to next vacant frequency. However, *no* signal, not even a carrier audible from simulcast on WBCQ 7490+v, and despite HNL, generally VP summer reception, think that transmitter is not on air. However2, WOR confirmed on webcast check at 2128, again followed by the variable-key singing of the late Goddess Irina I at 2130. WOR 1988 also confirmed UT Thu July 4 at 0116 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA vs S9+10 local noise level, seems from nearby powerline; worst on the lower SW bands and also peaking amid the MW band around 1200 kHz. WORLD OF RADIO 1989 contents: Austria, China, Cook Islands, Cuba, Denmark, Guatemala, India, Iran and non, Korea South, México, Nigeria, North America, Norway, Romania, Russia, Solomon Islands, USA, unidentified; and the propagation outlook WOR 1989 completed by 2000 UT Thursday July 4, ready for first SW broadcasts Friday: 1000 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW 2200 UT Friday WRMI 9955 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 0629vUT Saturday HLR 6190-CUSB Germany 1000 UT Saturday Unique Radio 3210-USB NSW [July 6, 20...] 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-new 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 5130v Area 51 [maybe also 9330?] 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 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, July 3 at 2100, WBCQ-6 is on at S9+25, opening another `Allan Weiner Worldwide` playback from when it was ``live`` on 7490 and 5130, sometime last year when Angela was just a girlfriend, `half-nekkid`, as it was 85 degrees (in Fla) and they were just back from a Caribbean cruise – I remember hearing that the first time. Meanwhile, cannot detect any signal at all on 7490+v when World of Radio should be airing. 9330.00, UT Thu July 4 at next check 0117, a very mean-sounding talk host must be Hal Turner as scheduled weekly, 01-03 on WBCQ 7490+v, and which frequency is still undetectable here; confirmed as such by same thing // if not synchronized on 9455 WRMI, which activates this frequency only on Wednesday night for Turner, flanked by an hour before and after of BS. 9330.00, UT Thu July 4 at 0330, VORW gets a chance on WBCQ-6 500 kW, John in a mailbag acknowledging first-name-only reports mostly of 9395 (WRMI). May not know he`s on 9330 right now; then music requests 3-in-a-row. Don`t expect anything but World`s Last Chance ministry on 9330 starting July 8 unless that target date slip again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7570, July 4 at 0125, this WRMI is unusually off the air while 7730, 7780 are still going; and 9455 with Hal Turner // 9330 WBCQ but not 7490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7505v, July 4 at 0124, WRNO is on again with gospel music at S9/+10. Strangely with regular fading about once per second, like a subaudible het --- in this case I can`t imagine from what, as HFCC shows nothing else scheduled now; Goa and Dushanbe are on 7505 at other dayparts. Self-imposed transmitter problem? 0327 recheck now WRNO in Chinese, so still some `Grace for Today` even if not all-night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1989, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15825, Wed July 3 at 2105, WWCR gets sporadic E boost to S9+5, nice flamenco classical guitar music, ``olé`` and 2106 starting ``Luz para las Rosas`` by the ``ministerio Hermana Rosa de Hierro`` (Sister Iron Rose), what a name. Perhaps that is a subset of what`s on the program sked Wed at 2100-2130 on WWCR-1: `La Voz Alegre` with Rex Morgan. That would be same as the Spanish service from Madagascar World Voice, which axually originates in nearby Franklin TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085, UT Wed July 4 at 0325, WTWW-2 is off, no rock DJ tonight, altho 5830 WTWW-1 remains on with undermodulated SFAW. Next check at 0535, 5085 still off and could easily overcome the S9+10 line noise level if it were on; while 5830 is S9+20/30 of dead air. So no Pete Santilli far-right talk show tonight on 5085. Altho he said he was on 3 hours a night UT Tue-Sat, he might be on SW only two nights a week, as I heard UT Tue & Wed on WTWW. 5085, next2 check, UT Fri July 5 at 0105, plug for a ``pray for me`` circle at WTWW, 0107 a Ted ham ad, 0108 hymn, so no more rock DJ even when on? No, 0119 Ted intro Motown music; at 0200 ``Greatest Hits of All Time``, Ted`s night to DJ, 0203 Herman`s Hermits. Modulation now is annoyingly distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST) ** U S A. 5830, July 4 at 1921, again today, WTWW-1 stays on night frequency all day – S9 but high noise level, at first seems dead air, then JBM; nothing on 9475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. 9470, July 4 at 1256, ``Salve Regina`` from WEWN but also a fast SAH from something in Chinese. Altho WEWN targets the FE in English about to close at 1300, 9470 is a very busy frequency, with CNR1 jamming RTI at 12-13. I`ll bet no one hears EWTN over there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 10550, July 4 at 1259-1300+, S2-S4 carrier open except for some clix about once per second; what? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 11825, July 4 at 1305, open carrier/dead air. Maybe VOA Mandarin via Thailand not turned off at 1300 or CNR1 jamming of same. If it were off-frequency 11825.5, per EiBi at 1300-1330 it would be FEBC Hong Kong via Bocaue, Philippines in the KHA dialect of Tibetan. This signal much stronger than the CNR1 jammer still running on 11785 vs VOA Philippines (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0229 UT July 5

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer hunt July 3 finds the following:
10550, July 3 at 1316, JBA carrier --- maybe not, unlisted 10960, July 3 at 1316, Chinese from CNR1 jammer 11440, July 3 at 1317, CNR1 jammer much stronger than 11460 12820, July 3 at 1349, CNR1 jammer in Chinese, S1-S2 12870, July 3 at 1349, CNR1 jammer best of all S4-S5. No further WOOB ones found. The five above all check in EiBi as CNR1 jammers against Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 12200, July 3 at 0558, RHC English is S7-S9 and still past 0602+, second harmonic of 6100; and 12200 is the SSOB! Somewhat stronger than 11610 WEWN, everything else on 25m JBA carriers. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 11769.9, July 3 at 0558, no signal from VON here, nor on 7254.9 nor 9689.9; however shortly after 0600, Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, found it ``weak`` back on 7254.9 which I did not check again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Allan Weiner imminent on Amateur Radio Roundtale, W5KUB.com Artie Bigley forwards these twits from Tom Medlin @w5kub ``Tues 8 PM Central on http://w5kub.com Allan Weiner once pirrate radio and now licensed station. see the new super station 500,000 watts and 23 db antenna. Most powerful in the u.s. (intl time Wed 0100) @amatradio #swl #shortwave #hamr 9:39 PM - 30 Jun 2019 Tom Medlin @w5kub 6h6 hours ago Tom Medlin Retweeted Tom Medlin Its going to be a big show. http://w5kub.com at 8 PM central (0100 UTC Wed) Tom Medlin added, Tom Medlin @w5kub 2h2 hours ago dont forger our net on 7.180 tonight at 5:30 PM central. then the live show on http://w5kub.com at 8 PM central. if you tune in to http://w5kub.com during the net you will see your smeter. @sar_news @qrznow @dxcoffee @amatradio #ham radio #hamr #swl #shortwave`` The broadcast is normally on hard-to-hear 5130+v WBCQ; on this occasion maybe also on 500 kW 9330, but not mentioned by Tom. AW said something about that previously, or was it last week? Yes, an earlier twit from Tom publicized AW being on the show June 25! So is this in addition to or instead of? (Glenn Hauser, 0010 UT July 3, WOR iog via DXLD) Yes, tonight on http://tmedlin.com/video-2-2/ Gets to AW audio-only on the phone interview at 0115, at first very undermodulated. And yes, now also on 9330, but bad distortion level, then improving. At 0100, 9330 had switched from an AWWW playback to WHVW feed, so I figured Amateur R Roundtable would not be on that. So far it`s just about AW`s early pirate or ``civil disobedience`` radio days. Silly me, I started out watching a W5KUB ``live stream`` of Tom messing with the computer, until I read the fine print -- it was from 2016, which hardly qualifies as live now. ``Live stream`` naming should be deleted after the fact. Then I found the real live stream which was about 8 seconds apart from 9330. Later that had been reduced to only one second. Among the info gleaned from what AW said on this interview: WBCQ=6 is not full 500 kW power yet, but almost. Will be in a couple of days. (This contradicts previous info from WBCQ that it had been up to 500 kW for several days now.) ERP is almost 20 megawatts at 9 MHz. The 200-ton Ampegon antenna is precisely balanced and can be moved by hand rather than two 3 hp motors, very quietly. 9330 is currently aimed 270 degrees true, toward Mexico and Central America (no, that would be 240 degrees or less). It takes 2.5 minutes for the antenna to rotate 360 degrees. Has TimTron hooked his ham rig up to the Ampegon? Not yet. Tom would like to do that when he visit Monticello. The very large final tube cost $ 80K. Another one for standby is on order. 5130 transmitter is #2. WBCQ property occupies 200 acres (earlier he gave a smaller figure over 100). The Weiners live in a house ``down the road`` and there is no RF overload problem at ground level from the 500 kW. Will have new QSL cards for the first time in 20 years. But AW hardly has spare time to send them. Please include SASEs. The entire interview lasted until 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5830, July 2 at 1932, WTWW-1 is still on night frequency, not 9475. I hear that Ted is in a wheelchair, so may have mobility issues getting to and from and around inside the station. But shouldn`t it be remote-controlled for frequency changes?? 5085, UT Wed July 3 at 0610, WTWW-2 is on again with the Pete Santilli far-right talk show, plugging his survivalist food; guest on phone is ``Ben Time Traveler``, still going at 0621. Haven`t found when this start and if rock DJ lineup earlier be curtailed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 17775, July 2 at 1933, missing earlier, now KVOH is S5-S6 and modulating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1654 UT July 3

** 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

** 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
