** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat Aug 14 at 1422, 1453, no signal
from LRA36 into Brasil or Uruguay SDRs. Then we see this at 1327 to
the WOR iog: ``Manuel Méndez --- Hi Glenn, the LRA 36 staff has
posted, an hour ago, a new jpg whatsapp note announcing there will not
be program today Saturday due to the same reasons as last Wednesday.
Best 73,s`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 4975, Aug 14 at 0547, JBA carrier still detectable at
night, previously traced to Brasil with obligatory government hour, A
Voz do Brasil at 2200; but nothing further heard about it such as an
ID for one of the three ex-4975s known (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13130, Aug 14 at 1354 CNR1 jammer with Chinese; only othrs
around, JBA carriers on 13160, 12500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 7780 // 5800, UT Sat Aug 14 at 0200-0259, again
this week via both WRMI frequencies, the Texas Radio SW relay of
Europirate, Free Radio Service Holland. Frenetic DJ during the hour,
recounting history of station with constant music mostly in background
rather than complete tunes; heavily produced IDs, liners. Altho could
hear direct, both frequencies noisy so listening via Maryland remote
to 7780. This week it`s as weak as usual on the NE antenna rather than
seeming NW last week for Cupid Radio.

0207 FRSH ID, MoodyBlues; started Aug 31, 1980 with 10 watts on 6250;
0209 fragments of Deep Purple, Smoke in the Water; 0215 about raids in
1983. 0218 specific ID for this on WRMI 5800 [only: they don`t know
about 7780 either]. Covering 4 decades of history; QSL from
FRS@FRSHolland.nl or a P O Box in Herten; or see website
http://frsholland.nl where 9 different QSLs are available? Many many
are illustrated over the years, apparently including incoming ones
from listeners. 0221 announcement in German, one of FRSH` three
languages. 0228 Chris Watson mentioned; tribute to someone who is
late, Joop? something. 0238 WRMI 5800 ID, contact info again. 0243
says they produce 4 to 6 broadcasts per year. 0259 switch to YROT
theme of TRSW, Zanotti ID.

BTW, I reminded the WOR iog of this FRSH broadcast at 0129, and
during this week`s WOR 2099 which also aired just before it at 0130 on
9395 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2099 monitoring: confirmed UT Sat
Aug 14 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, VG S9+20 to Maryland SDR; S8-S9 direct.

Also confirmed on IRRS Shortwave: Sat Aug 14 on 918 kHz, AM Italia,
via Noale remote, tune-in 1754 is playing AWR Wavescan! But not on
schedule, evidently random filler, Ray Robinson reading story about
K/KOB Albuquerque, 1757 on to ``second story`` about WGN Chicago. WS
should be wrapping up by now if started at 1730; yes, at 1758 chopped
off incomplete for cut to Triumphal March from Aïda theme. I`m
simulmonitoring 7290 via UTwente, first weak Chinese and warble on the
USB, until strong signal cuts on a minute after 918, with the rest of
Aïda; both with brief sign-on about 4 seconds apart like WOR which
starts about 1800.7 --- monitored complete on both until 1829.7;
unlike last week when 7290 did not come on until about halfway over.

** U S A. 7730, Aug 14 at 0542, another WRMI missing, #13 which is
scheduled for 0000-1100, all Overkiller except two System D hours at
00 and 08. Also still gone, #5 from 9455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, Aug 14 at 0555 UT, big dead air which must be the
dominant KAAY AR, so I turn up volume to DX any understations: mainly
sports talk, Dan Patrick show; 0600 partial ID as 107.7, and HD2,
sounds like WACE? 0606 still DA with medium SAH vs sports talk.
Uplooked later in the 2020 NRC AM Log, the 1090 sportster with a 107.7
FM is 5000-watt ND *daytimer* WAQE, Rice Lake, Wisconsin. It`s on the
Fox SR network and so is Dan Patrick (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, Aug 14, 2021 at 0600 UT, KWKH sports talk has musiQRM
atop, not Spanish as I was hoping to ID that previous mystery. Then ID
for ``KLEY 1130 and 100.3 FM Wellington``. This KS station has been
silent for months but now it`s back; also VG S9+20 alone at 1352 with
``I Love Rock `n` Roll`` and at 1750 talk.

It`s 250 watt day, ONE WATT at night, yeah, sure, U4, which means
different direxional patterns day and night. On daytime groundwave it
was and is again a semi-local at 63 miles from the site S of
Wellington we have often passed on US 81. I had last barely detected
it, 1 watt? Aug 23, 2020 at 2132 UT. Obviously it`s on today to avoid
losing license and likely to go silent again ASAP. From this far I
can`t tell whether the 100.3 translator, K262CQ, has always stayed
operational. Part of the corporate mess at Rocking M Media. Obviously
there is no technical reason not to stay on AM air.

On Dec 5, 2020 I had reported:
1130 KLEY Wellington KS remains off, forever?
Correspondence that if not back on, license will expire Aug 21, 2021:

http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=96705

BTW, the only KLEY in radio-locator.com is an unrelated? FM in
Jourdanton TX, ``La Ley 95.7``. Unless you specify ``KLEY-AM`` even
tho ``-AM`` is not part of the true call of any AM station! Marked as
off the air and no link to coverage patterns. How about FCC AM Query?
https://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=31895

It is *not* flagged as off the air. Here is the 250-watt day pattern,
broadly direxional peaking NNW, and not much here to the SSW:

https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/8cf11831a21545c2aa10c1b6063ebeb7-860.pdf
What a joke, 1 watt at night, also direxional? Looks same, smaller:

** U S A. 9329.986, Aug 13 at 0610, WBCQ S7-S9 in Spanish, presumed
WLCR. Pretty good signal now if only 5 kW as Ivo says, but not 500 kW
again yet. And only 14 Hz off-frequency! WBCQ own schedule does not
show which languages at which times, but Aoki says Spanish at
0600-0757. This could be a CCI problem for Cuban Spy Numbers after
0700. However, HFCC claims this bihour be in English, only 250 kW at
280 degrees not toward any SS-land; while Spanish at other hours
should be on 76, 180 or 220 azimuths (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Aug 14 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`,
the whole show a conversation between Allan and `Pirate Joe`, J.P.
Ferraro on the phone --- -9180 line is hummy so change to -0982. We
hardly hear a word from Angela altho she still gets top billing. The
guys are reminiscing on the 50th anniversary of Aug 12, 1971, when
their first pirate radio stations were busted by the FCC. Do you
remember this? that? Back and forth. A lot of details I don`t try to
copy. They had been on the air since 1969 in Yonkers NY, first on MW
1620 when the band ended at 1600; then to FM 108.1 but soon 87.9 to
avoid causing any QRM. 50 watts power carried a lot further on FM than
on AM with no ground plane. Mentioned calls briefly: WFSR-AM as in
Falling Star Radio or Free Speech Radio; WSEX-FM; WKOV-AM and one more
I missed.

Finally down to business at 0055 about the axual FCC raid. The Feds
visited Allan`s place at 5 am, and JP`s at 8 am on the same day. They
let the air out of one tire of JP`s 1953 Plymouth so he couldn`t flee.
The two were handcuffed together, spent a few hours in jail along with
rapists, who avoided them once they said they were in for pirate
radio. Pled guilty of federal misdemeanors, violating Communications
Act of 1934; Allan`s dad, a lawyer, bailed them out. Got probation for
one year, no fines: these are the roots of WBCQ. They do never get to
later pirate activities long before WBCQ and WHVW would be licensed.

Update on the SuperStition: still waiting for replacement PA tube,
meanwhile on unspecified low-power backup. 0059 prayer, 0101 join Hal
Turner late as seems to be the case every week now. John Carver`s
version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 6160 and 7490. Allan later
announced they were also broadcasting on 3265 and 4790. Allan and
Angela in the studio. Opening talk about the heat in Northern
Maine-ninety degrees today. Some more talk about Angela's affinity for
the small wild animals around the station. Main topic of tonight's
show is to be free radio and Allan starts with the history of his
first pirate stations when he was a boy. Pirate Joe is to join him on
the phone for the talk. Phone call at 0010 has problems with the audio
so Allan has him call in on another line. The two of them start to
talk of their early radio stations as yesterday was the fiftieth
anniversary of the FCC raid that shut them down. Noise starts to come
up around 0018 making it difficult to copy as the volume on the phone
is so low it's difficult to hear Pirate Joe. They talk about their
first meeting and the early days of their pirate stations. Signal
covered over by some sort of noise around 0040 that just gets worse.
Can't copy a thing. The same noise is on 6160 and 4790. I go back to
7490 and listen to the rest of the show but all I can hear is noise.
Sorry. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11840, Thu Aug 12 at 1550, Station YHWH with
``tonight`s lexure``, anti-Christ. Tnx to tip from Rick Barton, AZ a
few minutes ago on the WOR iog. As usual, AZ remote hardly hears it
nor the other I check in MO; but sufficient S8-S9 at #3 of VE6JY
Alberta. That should tell us something about skip distance from true

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed Aug 11 at 1447, NO signal from
LRA36 into two Brazilian remotes. Wed used to be their primary day,
last week followed by additional Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun, but not Mon or Tue.
Wonder if they were running out the clock before a prolonged hiatus?
Maybe not. Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, forwards a note in the form of
jpg which I translate:

``THE NEW LRA 36 --- Today 16:23 --- Dear Audience, we inform you that
due to adverse meteorological conditions, unfortunately we are not
able to emit the program on shortwave. Our sincere apologies for this;
we are working to resume the service again. Thanks for your
unconditional support`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Aug 11 at 2302 and later, NO signal from RHC English,
but audible on noisy 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9830, Aug 11 at 2157, VOT IS and IDs in English,
on the air today after at least two days missing; S9/+20 into Maryland
SDR but undermodulated; still past 2230 COVID-19 PSA while I was
mainly listening to the competition from Spain; 2250 direct, already
dead air and soon off. Had a much stronger signal here than REE 17855,
equally strong there and louderly modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2098 monitoring: as usual I sleep thru the
1030 Wed on WRMI 5850, August 11. Did anyone hear it? When it is on, I
wonder if anyone is axually listening, by chance or intentionally, in
the Pacific or east Asia when this is prime evening time?

Confirmed Wed Aug 11 after 2100 on WRMI 7780, good S8-S9 via NA5B SDR
in Maryland which shows carrier offset only +0.2 Hz. And about 21
seconds later on WBCQ 7489.9, carrier +1.5 Hz; same meter strength
S8-S9 but then to +10. Louder modulation on WBCQ. Both marred by
storm crashes as there is a huge line from Louisiana to Vermont
including the WDC area. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

Next new WOR 2099 should be ready by early UT Friday August 13 for
download and first SWBC at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 7780 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Aug 11 at 2258, this WRMI is still off like last
night; #5 transmitter supposedly 24h mainly TOMBS or SMTV, but briefer
segments of Family Radio, RAE. 285 degrees, same azimuth as 7730 #13
but always much weaker than it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4790, Aug 11 at 0615, TOMBS via WBCQ, allegedly 50 KW, is
VP, with some CODAR QRM both plus and minus. So this is not so ideal a
frequency after all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Aug 11 at 0616, WWCR with S9+30 of DEAD AIR AGAIN,
rather than TOMBS. Standard remarx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Altice/Suddenlink cable TV interrupts whatever channel we
are watching and presumably all of them for a nationwide emergency
alert test, Aug 11 at 1822 UT -- as we dodge for the mute button, and
also quickly turn on the R75 for a MW bandscan, but by then, no sign
of the test, all ops normal. The nominal time for it was 1820 UT; it
seems that overtaking OTA broadcasting and cable is now an
afterthought to these:
