** CANADA. 248-MCW kHz, July 23 at 0633 UT, ND beacon dash and WG,
which is 1000 watts from Winnipeg. Good to hear a Canadian again on
LW; some storm noise but lower than usual as nothing lightning much in
the Great Center of America, just scattered spots further to the west
and east. Also logged several from USA; Q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, July 23 at 1354-1400, some audibly
Chinese, some JBA carriers: 13530, 13160, 13150, 12880, 12500, 12190,
11170, 11150, 11120, 11100, 10960, 10920, 10820 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6082-6118, July 23 at 0619, range of splatter out of S9+40
suptorted 6100 RHC English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9580, July 24 at 0146, CRI English relay is S9+20 but
suptorted. Wiggle that patchcord. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 1090, July 23 at 0600 UT, once again KAAY Little
Rock AR drops to dead air, so I amplify the opportunity and also null
it for what else may right-angly audiblize: Spanish, timecheck for 1
AM, brief announcement mentions milenio.com but I don`t hear a
specific ID. The IRCA Mexican Log has lots of details about each
station but does not mention milenio in connexion with this or any
1090 station. In fact ``milenio`` does not appear once in the huge
file, so such info is beyond its scope.

Wikipedia however soon confirms this: ``XEAU-AM is a radio station on
1090 AM in Monterrey, Nuevo León. It is owned by Multimedios Radio and
carries Milenio Radio along with sister station XHFMTU-FM 103.7
HD3.``

ToH is not for news on either station; XEAU plays music, first a
familiar instrumental non-Mexican song, and then 0603 one in English
before KAAY remodulate at 0605 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2044)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, July 24 at 0126, rock music S5-S7 vs HSNL;
0129 ``You are listening to Black Star Radio`` by synth? bass voice.
0153 interrupted by buzz for a few sex, probably my streetlight
igniting circa sunset, but not in a position to view it. Keeps going
with dense rock and occasional unreadable announcements, nor are the
song lyrix, past 0219+ but off at next check 0237. Several logs here
agree it was Blackstar Radio,
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,69772.0.html
between 0042 and 0138 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 13795.049, July 23 at 1438, VP talk, on
such an offset must be USAGM here: yes, RFA Cantonese via TINIAN, this
hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW, July 23 at 0632 & 1349 UT, NO signal from local
Woodring Airport, Enid NDB, EI. Easy go, easy come?

515-MCW, July 23 at 0640 UT, however, PN in Ponca City is back after
missing a few days (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. ND beacons audible now that storm noise level has
diminished, July 23 at 0633-0640 UT:

251-MCW, AM, 100 watts from Amarillo TX
326-MCW, MA, 400 watts from Midland TX
332-MCW, IC, 400 watts from Wichita KS --- QRM from a weaker, CZX?
Nothing similar listed fits at dxinfocentre.com --- but there it is at
classaxe.com which digs deeper:
CZX Crosbyton TX, power unknown. Where`s that? Just east of Lubbock
and south of Floydada
341-MCW, OIN, 25 watts from Oberlin KS, in absence of Enid`s EI; but
even when EI is on, OIN can be audible too
353-MCW, LI, 400 watts from Little Rock AR; vs 350 RG in OKC, when
tuned first to 351-USB.

Another check 1349-1353 after sunrise but maybe some skywave remain:
293-MCW, FBY, 25 watts from Fairbury NE
404-MCW, HU, 25 watts from Hutchinson KS; tuned to 402-USB

** U S A. 9315-9345, July 24 at 0145, WLCR in English via WBCQ-6 is
certainly on 9330 at S9+40/50 such that it`s splattering out over 30
kHz range. Maybe a touch too much modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, July 24 at 0142, WRNO is still AWOL; does anyone care?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1680, another late night I was not hearing the open carrier
from presumed WPRR, but meanwhile this reply about it from Jack
Amelar, July 24:

``WPRR 1680 Ada, MI --- Glenn, I am copying you what I am sending to
the MARE (Michigan Area Radio Enthusiasts) tip sheet about WPRR 1680
Ada/Grand Rapids MI. I hope you find it at least somewhat informative,
and as always, you may reprint any or all if you wish.
73 Jack NY8D

So here’s what I have observed in the past week with 1680 WPRR Ada /
Grand Rapids.

1680 WPRR Ada, MI, 0015 July 18, 555 AM EE --- Back on with dead
carrier to 0026 when R&B music pops in, ID “The Ride” then dead
carrier again at 0037 to 0145 when I quit for the night. Next morning
check at 1340 still dead carrier and again 0505 July 19, 1700 July 20
+ subsequent checks.

0333 July 22, back on with R&B music, 0336 YL voice “WPRR Grand
Rapids”. 0347 ID YL voice “102.5 The Ride”. 102.5 is LPFM W273DD
located in Alpine Twp just NW of Grand Rapids. 1348 YL ID “WPRR 102.5
FM The Ride Ada-Grand Rapids”

July 23 1308, on air, 2239 off air, 2347 WTTM Philadlphia fading in.
Found the a website about the new WPRR-AM [1]
“Welcome to 102.5 The Ride, Find all the information of this radio
station here very soon!”

And their Facebook page, [2] "102.5 The Ride R&B Station. Grand Rapids
M.I. We are back! Steve Harvey, DJ Z Tyrone and Portia Bynum and The
Legendary Commissioner Robert S, Womack! Black Radio at it's finest.
Black Media Matters.”

Radioinsight [3] reports, “95.3 LPFM W237CZ Grand Rapids sold to Grand
Valley State University now relays 88.5 WGVU-FM Allendale. 90.1
WPRR-FM Clyde Twp (NW of Allegan and FWIW very close to the now remote
controlled FCC Allegan monitoring station-JA) continues Public Reality
Radio.”

For WPRR-FM it appears the website [4] remains but needs updating.

As far as the Movie Theater side of Goodrich Theaters and
Broadcasting, according to Wikipedia [5], “In July 2020, Mason Asset
Management, Namdar Realty, and VIP Cinemas purchased Goodrich Quality
Theaters under the name Goodrich Theater Newco”

As to who owns or will own WPRR is unclear to me.`` (Jack Amelar,

2044])

** TURKEY. 9830, Wed July 22 at 2214-2231, VOT `Letterbox`, glad
Emirler manages to be on the air today. I`m listening via UTwente with
a very strong signal, no RTTY there, but quite a big hum on the
carrier. Something is still always erroneous at Emirler.

After complaining it is unusually hot in Ankara, Anatolia, 39-37-36
degrees even tho it snowed last August, host starts with a very
personal item: his longtime friend in Malaysia, he knew for 11 years
there, ethnic Chinese, Tan-Seu-Yung (sp???), 64, altho a non-smoker,
has lung cancer and is in the ICU. Via whatsapp, doctor answered his
call but friend could not respond. Please pray for him. Caused host to
cry which he says he does a lot. This occupied the first 5 minutes.

Then acknowledged letters/reports from: Konstantin Barsenkov in St
Petersburg, Russia; Malaysia; Peshawar, Pakistan; Italy, and host
*sings* bits of two Italian songs from his childhood; south India;
Allan Willie in Newfoundland with a 5-page report; Poland. At
conclusion again asks for (Islamic) prayers for his friend, and also
for himself; ``I love all of you, from my heart.``

I am always pleased when at least one subject on a mailbag show is
known to me; this time, two: also heard directly from Konstantin last
month with a QSL from him since he heard me mention him on WOR; and
Allan Willie, better known as an ace MW DXer.

2231, on to next program, about a monastery, architecture and/or
tourism? Carrier off at 2255* before there can be any extra German.

Who is this host of `Letterbox`, who makes it such a touchingly human
show? Alan Holder upon the Isle of Wight told us all about him last
November: ``I have been corresponding with TRT on and off since 1970.
The current presenter’s name on “Letterbox” is Halibrahim Sarıkaya (no
dot on the ‘i’ – it is pronounced Sarekaya.``

I quoted Alan`s complete opus in my log report of Nov 16-17, 2019,
which among many other places resides here:

** U S A. 15610, July 22 at *1858.6 carrier cuts on from WEWN as I
have been standing by to confirm their other English frequency /
transmitter is also back on air after 9385 appeared last night. But
it`s JBA, can barely perceive any modulation, as propagation is
pitiful today, no sporadic E boost for this, nor 15825 WWCR (Glenn

** BRAZIL. 11780, July 21 at 2126, RNA is S8/S9+10 but JBM suptorted
and some squeal. Wake up at the site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jamming survey, July 22 at 1346-1400: 11460; 11440;

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11628 & 11712 approx., July 22 at 0114, extremely distorted
spurblobs from 11670 RHC; F# tone also audible especially in FM tuning
mode. Plus & minus 42 kHz, but no further multiples noted this time.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 1090, July 22 at 0600 UT, another dead-air hole
provided by KAAY Little Rock, facilitating when nulled other hearage.
Filled by music, brief unreadable Spanish announcement, then that song
in English with strumming, morphing from ``Somewhere Over the
Rainbow`` into ``What a Wonderful World``. Lovely, like this by IZ:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z26BvHOD_sg
So I do expect it to be XEAU Monterrey NL, 5/0.5 kW, which is
conveniently close to right angle from KAAY, and could also be source
of the English song last night. A fraxion of Mexistations do
specialize in English music; sure beats TV infomercials. 0605 KAAY
resumes with gospel music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28227.3-CW, July 22 at 1454, beacon VVV VVV DE KC0VDY/B:
``28.2273 KC0VDY C FRUITA, COLORADO 5W New 9 June 2018``
Fruita is just west of Grand Junxion on I-70 near Utah border. QRZ.com

I have a 10 Meter beacon that is on 28.2273 MHz running 5 watts

``28.2245 K5GJR C CORPUS CHRISTI, TX # 5W, VERTICAL``

29300-CW, July 2 at 1502, K5FRC/B, no further message, just ID like on
13565, which I`ve not heard in quite a while. WJ5O roster has this
rather confusing info as it includes historical/outdated entries:

``28.300 K6FRC/B3 TRACY, CALIFORNIA 10W, VERTICAL QRT prior to 2016

** U S A. 6159.9v, UT Wed July 22 at 0054 open carrier; 0055 start
``WBCQ The Planet`` ID & IS loop, 0100 music and faux time signal, Hal
Turner theme. Now it`s // 7490+ and 9455 WRMI.

5130.0 is not // the other WBCQs, 0057 music, 0100 `Whiter Shade of
Pale`, 0106 brief talk unreadable, maybe attempt to start `Amateur
Radio Roundtable` as sked, right back to music 0111+; too noisy (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, July 22 at 1400, WLCR via WBCQ-6 is gone again (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9385, July 22 at 0116, WEWN English is finally back on after
missing some 18 days, first noted absent July 4. Now it`s S9+20/30,
seems stronger than before, rivalling WBCQ-6 9330, so maybe really
refurbished with more power output.

Back on July 13, frequency manager Glen Tapley had replied to my
inquiry, ``Filament and cable repair. Should be back in a day or
two``. Program now is discussing Planned Parenthood, no doubt
negatively by the Catholix who prefer Random Parenthood, and who cares
about overpopulation, a root cause of many of this world`s problems?
15610, afternoon frequency should also be back at 19-24; did not
notice it in random tuning July 21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, July 22 at 0124 and 0216 chex, no signal from WRNO,
not unusual, nominally 0100-0400; is it frustrating for transmitters
and receivers or does no one really care? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
