** CANADA [and non]. Another huge sporadic E opening July 14 from
tune-in at 1702 until I quit at 1953 when it may have been petering
out. Lot and lots of Saskatchewan stations, soon also Albertans and
Montanans, with bit of others thrown in: BC, AZ, NV, CA.
All times UT!! See my July 11 report for details of my methodology.
All on my own 2004 Nissan stock caradio in real time, no recording, no
SDRs; prime reference the WTFDA FM Database. This time, except
inserting relays: for clarity, I am just copying entries as are,
without editing redundancies, etc. Finally I add city-to-city
distances from distancefromto.net, not site-to-site. This not finished
until early UT July 17! 94.1 at 1702, CCI, music and talk, 11:00 [CST] in Saskatoon, rock:

the falling MUF, this is when I quit! Yes, that was a LOT, but such
openings are few and far between (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, July 16 at 0626, RHC English back to `normal` here,
S9+10/20 with humbuzz, while 6165 is OK S9+20/30; 5040, 6000 and 6100
are all off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13766 & 13634 approx., July 16 at 1401, RHC JBA blobs
matching plus and minus ~66 kHz from S9/+10 13700-AM; but no mod and
not even F# tones. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 94.3, July 16 at 1655 UT, KLGB-LP Enid is in dead air
again, even on a Friday; but not all day, back modding in an hour or
two checked. 95.1 when bandscanning for Es DX at home I often note dead air here,
weak with CCI from another station; figured someone`s RF feeder nearby
left on. No, July 16 at 1655 as I`m driving several miles away in
Enid, I still have this and it`s not KQCV OKC, as that manages to
break thru with a Bott Network ID; the second nearest 95.1 is KICT
Wichita, but hard to believe a major station would behave that way.
Only 3 other 95.1s in KS and OK are all translators of 250 watts or
less, in Russell, Elkhart and Pawhuska. Maybe it be a stray possibly
Part 15 transmitter somewhere in Enid? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** U S A. 17530, July 16 at 1406, S9 of open carrier, surely standard

to: Glenn Hauser, Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4790, July 16 at 2044, surprise new frequency for Brother
Hystairical. Richard Langley heard it first at 2015, good signal in
NB, transmitter? I hastened to do TDOA on it, not enough sites but
came up with Rutland MA area W of Boston. But at 2100 WBCQ ID on 4790
and // 7490, into `Behaviour Night`. I was about to suggest digits
jumbled 7490 into 4790 but they are both on! TOMBS continues on 3265 &
6160; and 9330 weaker than 500 kW with WLCR. Recheck at 2105,
Behaviour Night on 7490 only, 4790 has switched back to TOMBS along
with 3 and 6. So it`s an additional transmitter rather than a change.
SDRs in SAM mode show minus 28 to 29 Hz carrier offset. Some in the NE
get it well, others hardly at all. A new one has popped up in Halifax,
but its waterfall shows no signals received anywhere! 4790 recheck at
2335 via a remote, still on with BS: probably 24h like the others. (7489v), July 17 I tune in late at 0014 to WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`
when he is talking with Freddie on phone about the new 4790, more Free
Speech Radio, first day on air! It`s the #5 transmitter permanently
retuned from 5130 which has been off for months due to too much QRM.
Says he tuned it up nicely and quickly. Discusses crystals for
frequency control. No longer being manufactured, but TimTron grinds
them at home with Comet cleanser. I am sure this is quite a craft, but
also explains why WBCQ is hardly ever spot-on-frequency. 0022 prompts Angela to do a datestamp, but she doesn`t know what day
it is; finally, July 16, YOOL 2021. She used to feed 200 ducks. Allan
likes chickens and thinx they should be celebrated for providing
humans so much food; also can be pets if imprinted as chix. 0033
another vague reference to threats against WBCQ being handled by his
lawyers; administrative problems. 0043 laments that Gideon Bibles are
gone from hotels, not p.c. [Really?] Quadricasting tonight on 3265,
4790, 6160, 7490. Did not hear him say anything about 9330 back on the
air with substitute transmitter; maybe was in first quarter. 0044 reads a lot of pirate logs from last week`s Free Radio Weekly.
0053 starts reading another e-mail, then decides it`s not suitable for
broadcast. Pray for the audits in GA and AZ so T**** can be restored
as Our President. FCC rules change for CB to allow FM mode. Allan
likes all music except can`t get into jazz. John Carver`s version: ``Tonight's show started on time on 6160 and 7490 with 7490 having the
better signal again. Didn't check 3265 for the reasons mentioned last
week. Allan and Angela in the studio and opening talk about
microphones again. Phone call at 0007 from Freddie. While talking to
Freddie Allan states that they are broadcasting on 3265 also and
testing on 4790. Said that they were using the old 5130 transmitter
for 4790. He also mentioned that they were broadcasting 9330 on
another old transmitter but didn't mention which one. After the phone
call Angela tells us about how she used to feed two hundred wild
ducks. Allan said that she was now feeding and taking care of some
young groundhogs and their mother. He also commented that he loved
chickens and liked being around them. A bit of political talk with
them referring to our beloved President Trump and then talked about
things in general for a bit. Reading of last weeks Free Radio Weekly
at 0045. Reading of emails at 0056 with one referencing a recount of
last election's votes in two states which prompted Angela to hope that
Trump would be restored to office. Rambling closing prayer at 0058 and
off the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,

I bail out. Maps soon show MUF falling (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0511 UT July 17
