U S A. 5085, UT Sun Aug 23 at 0023, WTWW-2 with hardsell Tedad, no
TONITO yet; 0035 recheck is underway presenting performance by someone
else, now deceased, ending at 0057 so started circa 0027 this week. I
immediately brought up the $ tereo webcast instead.
BTW, besides the degraded audio on 5085, it`s still always accompanied
by JBA spurcarriers circa 5072.1 & 5097.9. And this:``I know WTWW on 5085 KHz has contained very noticeable audio
distortion for years. Sounds like a portable with weak batteries. It
has low-end punch, mind you, but is totally ruined with this annoying
distortion in the mix. If one uses narrower IF bandwidth filters, this
will not be so noticeable.

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey Aug 24 at 1410, after most of them have
quit at 1400*: none in the 16s, 14s, 13s or 12s, but 15110 good and
confirmed as such by // 10820 at 1454 an echo apart. Meanwhile only
ones detected at 1410 are 11460 JBA carrier, 10870, and at S2-S4,
10820; none in the 11s or 9s either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 7310-7385, Aug 24 at 0600, jammming bleed over this entire
range from the combined heavy noise centered on 7335 and 7365 which is
completely unnecessary with Radio Martí totally off the air after
0400! Something`s always wrong at DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Aug 24 at 0629, the only 9-kHz JBA carrier is
here, presumed R. Kiribati, an hour really too late for Eurafrica even
if propagable before, yet too early for further Pacificans --- well,
almost, just after sunset in wintry NZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. Replying to my report of missing VOT `Letterbox` the past
two weeks, Alan Roe, UK, says, ``Glenn - the "Letterbox" programme of
12/15 Aug was, I think, a repeat of the previous week's edition, and
there was no "Letterbox" programme on 19/22 Aug --- so you haven't
missed anything! Hopefully there'll be a new edition this coming
week. Alan Roe, Teddington, UK.`` And Hansjoerg Biener, Germany, says, ``According to information
received from the German service earlier this month, the Voice of
Turkey is still operating in a covid19 mode. It is said that only one
technician is in the studio building at a time taking up all
responsibilities. During the German broadcast, only one member is
present taking care of the news segment and some bureau work. Other
parts of the programmes are repeats. The mailbag is cancelled for the
time being. The producers are expected to leave the building after the
broadcast. One might think that the situation at the transmitter site
is similar which would explain the additional scheduling errors
observed by others short wave listeners (Dr Hansjoerg Biener 24 August
2020)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13565-CW, Aug 24 at 1408, JBA IDs only from HIFER beacon
K6FRC in Patterson CA. I check for this almost every morning, nor do I
anymore hear anyothers in the 13550-13570 ISM band, but K6FRC last
logged June 9, tho I did hear the 10-watt, 10-meter K6FRC/B on 28300
from Tracy on July 28; and July 2 when I see I typoed the frequency to
29300! The one on 13565 is notable whenever heard with publicized
power of only *1.8 milliwatts*! And I never hear it any other time of
day so can only wonder whether it`s always on or not (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A. Correxion: 2210 and 2200 UT, not 2310 & 2300! I can`t wait
to resume standard time? Fixed: ``WORLD OF RADIO 2048 monitoring: confirmed first WRMI airing, Friday
August 21 at 2210 the 2200 on 9955, good into BSR-1 caradio on a
non-DXpedition a few statute miles north of Enid; no jamming
audible.`` Confirmed UT Monday August 24 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct --- but
0054 recheck, the transmitter is off! Unknown for how long. Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 24 at 0130 & 0230 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+20 at
UTwente; also WRN webcast at 0130. Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 24 ending at 0258 on WRMI 7780 after tip
from Walt Salmaniw, BC: ``I did note WOR on 5800 at 02:53 tune-in at
excellent level. 73, Walt`` --- surprise! the 0230-0300 block on 5800
is blank, unaccounted for all days of week on WRMI skedgrid. So
replaces 0300 UT Sun on 5800? Hope it stix. More change info below. Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 24 from 0259.6 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5130,
S8-S9 at a Rochester NY KiwiSDR. BUT cuts off the air for 2 minutes as
I am listening, 0311*-*0313. Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 24 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, unusually inaudible
where it`s aimed, at TWR Bonaire SDR, but S5-S7 at Rochester; 0338
check here, S7 to S9+10 but keeps fading down further to at least
S5. Meanwhile, Jeff White replied to my request for some new times:
``Glenn: WOR 0130 UTC Thursday 5850 and 0330 UTC Tuesday on 5800,
effective immediately. Jeff``. So adding those to NEXTs: 1800vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy

2100+UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5850 to NW [NEW] Good but unfortunately this means the best broadcast across USA on
5850 will be the last airing of the week rather than the first, as I
am not inclined to change my produxion schedule to earlier than
Thursday afternoons. Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Minor DX-pedition to 35 km north of Enid on US 81 to carry
out AM & FM bandscans on caradio, Sunday afternoon Aug 23 from 2140
to 2215 UT: 750, at 2140 no KMMJ Grand Island NE, apparently still temporarily off
by STA pending sale. Has unusual L3 license, i.e. almost daytime,
direxional tangent west with 10.5 kW, but used to be JBA here; and
neighbor 880 KRVN is always audible daytime tnx to the Ogallala
Aquifer. However at 2208 I can detect a slow SAH of 64/min, slightly
over 1 Hz apart. The only others nearby are KSEO Durant OK, 220 watt
daytimer on the other side of the state, very difficult here; and KBNN
Lebanon, center of MO, 5 kW ND daytimer which I have heard several
times; unless KMMJ really be on but QRP like 1130 KLEY (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) 1130, Aug 23 at 2142, I expect silence as KLEY Wellington KS, just
across from OK, has not been heard at Enid HQ for months, after
transmitter troubles, and suspected off for good. But now I have JBA
music, certainly not sportive KWKH Shreveport, which despite 50 kW ND
daytime does not reach this far some 500 km by groundwave. We drive a
few km further north, to about a km south of the US 64/60/81
intersexion, helpfully away from some powerlines, and hear at 2154 a
partial ID of ``point 3`` and rock song playing just past 2200; 2201,
``KLEY 1130 AM and --- 100.3 FM --- wellington.net -- The home of ---
sports, what capitol of the world``. [Enid disputes that!] This is still a really tiny signal, vs many other further loud Kansans
like 1150 KSAL, 1280 KSOK. KLEY is licensed for 250 watts day, ONE
WATT night, and I can easily believe this *is* that one watt if not
whatever the exciter may rate. Their 100.3 FM translator, really
K262CQ, ``The Wave`` is what counts, and this much ittybitty AM to
simulcast keeps it legal. Anyway this makes KLEY 1130 quite a DX
target further away since I can`t even hear it inside Enid. OTOH, note my report from 2019y: ``1130, Sept 20 at 1853 UT check,
KLEY Wellington KS is OFF again. Still off at 1705 UT check Sept 21.
It had been on since August 26 after a long hiatus since at least May
3`` --- another scenario is that it really has been totally off and
just barely turned back on now to keep its license before a full year
be elapsed. I had never heard it since then. 1157 & 1183, at 2203, IBOC noise is definitely ON from 1170 KFAQ Tulsa
at this time, blocking anything possible on 1160 & 1180. 1370, still no trace of KGNO Dodge City KS at 2205, which I have not
been able to detect in years, day or night, 5000/230 watts, and
suspect OFF but it continues to be listed as if active. It would be
nice if we had someone in Dodge to try to hear it, maybe QRP too? It
used to be easy to Enid at least SR/SS. I check 1370 whenever I am N/W
of Enid. 1440, gospel huxter in English, VP at 2205, must be KEXB University
Park (Metroplex) TX in its latest incarnation, Relevant Radio, barely
making it here with 50 kW daytime this high in band, not Topeka. On FM, not much of interest and am running out of time, but: 105.7, at 2214 ``Classic Hits 105.7``, adstring and rock music --- and
same stuff on 106.1! but with one radio can`t tell whether
synchronized. 105.7 is 50/50 kW KRDR Alva, while 106.1 is weaker with
CCI from something else. Nearest ``classic hits`` format if not slogan
on 106.1 in WTFDA DB is 60/60 kW KYVZ Atwood KS, way up in the NW
corner beyond Colby. But 100 kW KXKU Lyons KS is closer, in between.
Other possible 106.1s in OK are KBZI 50/50 kW in Mooreland west of
here almost Woodward, with ``80s hits`` -- close enough to classic by
now? and KTGK 100/100 kW Owasso almost Tulsa, country (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A. `Feminine Fusion` is an excellent show I have been following
on KUCO OKC 90.1 or webcast, Sundays at 2100-2200 UT -- usually a few
minutes late due to preceding programs overrunning. About classical
music composed or performed by women. I haven`t found an affiliate
list for it and it`s totally missing from publicradiofan.com --- which
I fear is not being updated, but it`s so huge that that would be a
full-time job? Searching out I have found a few other stations
carrying FF on Saturdays or Sundays including this one in
Philadelphia, UT Mondays 0200 in case we miss it on KUCO:
https://www.wrti.org/programs/feminine-fusion
Also WIAA and WXXI. More about it from the distributor:
https://exchange.prx.org/series/38388-feminine-fusion
where it seems you may listen to any of 100+ episodes. The KUCO
scheduling clashes with another all?-feminine show, `Marion`s Attic`
on WBCQ, and I bet neither program realizes that (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6135, Aug 24 at 1404, JBA talk as the 49mb is almost
outfaded here except for 6170 NZ; could this be anything but
MADAGASCAR long-path? I`ve asked Ron Howard (Glenn Hauser, OK WOR) This report dispatched at 1700 UT August 24

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Minor DX-pedition to 35 km north of Enid on US 81 to carry
out AM & FM bandscans on caradio, Sunday afternoon Aug 23 from 2140
to 2215 UT: 750, at 2140 no KMMJ Grand Island NE, apparently still temporarily off
by STA pending sale. Has unusual L3 license, i.e. almost daytime,
direxional tangent west with 10.5 kW, but used to be JBA here; and
neighbor 880 KRVN is always audible daytime tnx to the Ogallala
Aquifer. However at 2208 I can detect a slow SAH of 64/min, slightly
over 1 Hz apart. The only others nearby are KSEO Durant OK, 220 watt
daytimer on the other side of the state, very difficult here; and KBNN
Lebanon, center of MO, 5 kW ND daytimer which I have heard several
times; unless KMMJ really be on but QRP like 1130 KLEY (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) 1130, Aug 23 at 2142, I expect silence as KLEY Wellington KS, just
across from OK, has not been heard at Enid HQ for months, after
transmitter troubles, and suspected off for good. But now I have JBA
music, certainly not sportive KWKH Shreveport, which despite 50 kW ND
daytime does not reach this far some 500 km by groundwave. We drive a
few km further north, to about a km south of the US 64/60/81
intersexion, helpfully away from some powerlines, and hear at 2154 a
partial ID of ``point 3`` and rock song playing just past 2200; 2201,
``KLEY 1130 AM and --- 100.3 FM --- wellington.net -- The home of ---
sports, what capitol of the world``. [Enid disputes that!] This is still a really tiny signal, vs many other further loud Kansans
like 1150 KSAL, 1280 KSOK. KLEY is licensed for 250 watts day, ONE
WATT night, and I can easily believe this *is* that one watt if not
whatever the exciter may rate. Their 100.3 FM translator, really
K262CQ, ``The Wave`` is what counts, and this much ittybitty AM to
simulcast keeps it legal. Anyway this makes KLEY 1130 quite a DX
target further away since I can`t even hear it inside Enid. OTOH, note my report from 2019y: ``1130, Sept 20 at 1853 UT check,
KLEY Wellington KS is OFF again. Still off at 1705 UT check Sept 21.
It had been on since August 26 after a long hiatus since at least May
3`` --- another scenario is that it really has been totally off and
just barely turned back on now to keep its license before a full year
be elapsed. I had never heard it since then. 1157 & 1183, at 2203, IBOC noise is definitely ON from 1170 KFAQ Tulsa
at this time, blocking anything possible on 1160 & 1180. 1370, still no trace of KGNO Dodge City KS at 2205, which I have not
been able to detect in years, day or night, 5000/230 watts, and
suspect OFF but it continues to be listed as if active. It would be
nice if we had someone in Dodge to try to hear it, maybe QRP too? It
used to be easy to Enid at least SR/SS. I check 1370 whenever I am N/W
of Enid. 1440, gospel huxter in English, VP at 2205, must be KEXB University
Park (Metroplex) TX in its latest incarnation, Relevant Radio, barely
making it here with 50 kW daytime this high in band, not Topeka. On FM, not much of interest and am running out of time, but: 105.7, at 2214 ``Classic Hits 105.7``, adstring and rock music --- and
same stuff on 106.1! but with one radio can`t tell whether
synchronized. 105.7 is 50/50 kW KRDR Alva, while 106.1 is weaker with
CCI from something else. Nearest ``classic hits`` format if not slogan
on 106.1 in WTFDA DB is 60/60 kW KYVZ Atwood KS, way up in the NW
corner beyond Colby. But 100 kW KXKU Lyons KS is closer, in between.
Other possible 106.1s in OK are KBZI 50/50 kW in Mooreland west of
here almost Woodward, with ``80s hits`` -- close enough to classic by
now? and KTGK 100/100 kW Owasso almost Tulsa, country (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A. `Feminine Fusion` is an excellent show I have been following
on KUCO OKC 90.1 or webcast, Sundays at 2100-2200 UT -- usually a few
minutes late due to preceding programs overrunning. About classical
music composed or performed by women. I haven`t found an affiliate
list for it and it`s totally missing from publicradiofan.com --- which
I fear is not being updated, but it`s so huge that that would be a
full-time job? Searching out I have found a few other stations
carrying FF on Saturdays or Sundays including this one in
Philadelphia, UT Mondays 0200 in case we miss it on KUCO:
https://www.wrti.org/programs/feminine-fusion
Also WIAA and WXXI. More about it from the distributor:
https://exchange.prx.org/series/38388-feminine-fusion
where it seems you may listen to any of 100+ episodes. The KUCO
scheduling clashes with another all?-feminine show, `Marion`s Attic`
on WBCQ, and I bet neither program realizes that (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6135, Aug 24 at 1404, JBA talk as the 49mb is almost
outfaded here except for 6170 NZ; could this be anything but
MADAGASCAR long-path? I`ve asked Ron Howard (Glenn Hauser, OK WOR) This report dispatched at 1700 UT August 24
