** CHINA. CNR1 jammer bandscan, July 29 starting at 1327 from 15 MHz
downward:

14430, JBA Chinese
13160, CNR1, S6-S9 and choppy
12870, CNR1, S5-S7
12820, CNR1, S5-S7

11120, CNR1, S1-S2
11100, CNR1, S1-S3
10960, JBA carrier

No more WOOB found down to 9 MHz. JBA carrier on 10370 is instead
local overload mix of 11760 RHC minus 1390 KCRC with audio from both
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11880, July 29 at 1419, CRI Plus relay in English back on
proper frequency after stray to 11800 yesterday; now it`s just barely
modulated, e.g. compared to RHC itself on 11760. Mod level jumps up at
1431 for canned boilerplate about Roundtable; I would not have blamed
the studio for mod problems. No plus/minus 10 kHz spurs from 11880
audible now. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, July 29 at 1320 UT and still at 1649, dead air
except for some hum from local KZLS Enid. Is no one paying attention
at Chisholm Trail Broadcasting? No storms around here to blame (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1992 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
July 28 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, JBA as usual daytimes on this band.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 29 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9+10 and local
line noise is off; also on WRMI 9395 VG S9+20.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 29 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, JBA vs storm
noise from TX panhandle, Wichita areas.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 29 at 0300 sharp on Area 51 webcast; at
0326 check also on WBCQ 5130.35v, and audible on WBCQ 6159.9v, but
can`t tell whether also on 3264.9 JBA carrier. John Carver could tell
in mid-north Indiana: ``Glenn. 3265 is not carrying Area 51
programming tonight. However WOR is on both 5130 and 6160. John``. and
Richard Langley, NB, says 3265 was carrying Pirate Joe`s WHVW
programming when he checked at 0155. For me it was a JBA 3264.9
carrier at 0132. When I checked 6160- earlier at 0046, I could tell it
was JL as well as on Area 51, 5130+. Area 61??

(My local high line noise problem of S9+ between 3.0 and 9.5 MHz has
gone away as of UT Monday July 29 --- unlikely due to any OG&E repair
over the weekend, so apprehensive it may cut on again at any time. If
not, but still pending, will difficultize OG&E finding the source.)

WOR 1992 also confirmed UT Monday July 29 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG
S9+20 this time and no jamming audible; WOR started immediately after
music fill. Next:

** U S A. Re WRMI 5850 missing during WORLD OF RADIO, July 28 at 0130,
Bob Biermann explains on the WOR iog in a different response to Walt
Salmaniw noting that 5850 has also been missing at least four times
this year when he has tried to record SW Radiogram at 0800 Sundays:

``Just a couple of notes about the Radiogram. First, as someone
remarked, they would expect "better service" if they were paying for
the program. WRMI airs the RadioGram at NO CHARGE. In addition, the
transmission line for the transmitter on 5850 was damaged by a storm
over the weekend and was only fixed on Sunday morning when there was
daylight. The RadioGram also airs at the same time on 7730.

Operating any Shortwave station is very difficult these days. The
"supply" of technical people that can work on this equipment is
shrinking at an alarming pace. In just a handful of years, it will be
critical for most SW stations around the world. Many senior
engineering staff is at or over retirement age or closing in fast.
Younger people show no interest, and why should they? Today they can
make as much working in IT than in broadcasting. Now, this is simply
my personal opinion and does not represent any station. Personally, I
see a tremendous amount of undue criticism on how many of the SW
stations are run. Some people seem to be experts who have never
operated such a facility. It's not for the faint of heart. The term
"armchair quarterback" comes to mind. Unless you are active in the
business you can't comprehend the challenges you face on a daily
basis. Tube replacement costs are skyrocketing, and certain parts
(like qualified engineers) are often in short supply.

As far as computer glitches, the automation software is highly
reliable, and the computer systems are on massive battery backup. The
program needs to be uploaded to us. If the program is there, it will
air. One of the issues at WRMI is the fact of no decent or reliable
Internet Service providers that can reach or serve us. It is worse
than third world. We are miles from civilization, and I mean miles.
There is no cable or Fiber within 8 miles, just some poorly maintained
copper wire pairs from CenturyLink. We have an over the air backup,
but it's a multi mile hop, subject to frequent problems we can't
control. Many programmers want to stream, but bandwidth is scarce.
Satellite "may" be an option in the future, but there are severe data
limitations making it a poor option at present, and in Florida, rain
fade issues.``

I was surprised at WRMI`s poor internet service, as its streaming of
9955 programming is pretty reliable, and I seldom have any problems
uploading 10+ MB WOR files via ftp to four different Systems taking a
minute or two each (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, July 29 at 0455, WTWW-1 is off, nor audible on day
frequency 9475. 5085, WTWW-2 however is on with rock music,
accompanied as always by the weak spurs about 5072.1 and 5097.9.
Unfortunately did not have a chance to check for similar spurs when
9930 was rarely activated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

11895 kHz channel puzzled me tonight:
endless China folk music, much guitar mx, not CNR1 px,
played of a strong 150 / 500 kW signal,
at 20.00 til exact 22.00 UT, as probably test transmission ?
Later the night,
that channel is used for RFA Kuwait in Tibetan and Chinese at 02-07 UT.
Measured few times in KiwiSDR option TDOA,
used SDR units at Khabarovsk FE_Russia, Delhi, HongKong, Tokyo and Hanoi 
units.
Jamming station location couldn't traced exact, too much flutter,
but was in the extreme North East of China,
east of known jamming stn Qiqihar,
near Mudanjiang in Heilongjiang province.

** CHINA. 14850, July 28 at 1329, CNR1 jammer very poor. Bad
propagation from FE today; other JBA carriers or JBA Chinese: at 1335,
11120, 11440; at 1421, 11100, 11440;

and at 1420 on 10410, but this one is a -1390 KCRC local mix with
11800, temporary CRI English mistaken relay frequency via CUBA, q.v.,
confirmed as overload by vanishing when I switch from Preamp2 to 1.
When CRO goes back to 11880, the mix will go back to 10490 where it
``belongs`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11800, July 28 at 1403, CRI English relay is here instead of
11880!! Punch-up error, no doubt. Good modulation for a change, and
S9+20. But this frequency is *not* flanked by plus/minus 10 kHz spurs
like 11880 was; different transmitter, also accounting for the error
by an unfamiliar sloppyrator at a different site? 1405 starts
`Roundtable`. Fortunately, HFCC shows nothing at all supposed to be on
11800 at 1400-1600; nor anything in the Western Hemisphere on 11795 or
11805, only some brief Asians on the adjacents (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, UT Sun July 28 at 0030, honky-tonk music
at S9, surely Wolverine Radio which consistently puts in these bigsigs
for a pirate. 0047 just missed an ID? 0056 definite ID. Many more logs
here between 0028 and 0126:

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1992 monitoring: confirmed Saturday July 27
at 2107, the 2100 on WRMI 9955, poor S4-S6; so I can`t know if
transmitter was really on by 2100 this time.

NOT confirmed UT Sunday July 28 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, so our only WRMI
broadcast beamed NW across North America is a bust. 5850 is not on the
air at all, nor at earlier check 0052 past 0101, boding ill. So two of
the three Saturday times on WRMI were no-shows.

Confirmed UT Sunday July 28 at 0322 already underway the nominal 0315
on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, going from Brazil to Canada, which is 3
minutes into, so started circa 0319; S9+10 and not too much line noise
level: I then find that it`s worst between 3.0 and 9.5 MHz; also with
some peaks in the MW band such as around 1200. Hope OG&E will be back
on the case Monday.

So can anyone hear 5130.38? Is it on the air, and if so with what
``special free radio from the west`` at 20-06 UT? Would not expect it
to be on Area 51 webcast, which this was going to replace today, and
that is playing rock music (Glenn Hauser, 2234 UT Sat July 27, WOR iog

(Chris Smolinski, Black Cat Systems, Westminster, MD USA,
http://www.blackcatsystems.com 2237 UT, ibid.)

The title comes up on a blank page (Glenn, 2246 UT, ibid.)

Browser issue? (Chris, 2248 UT, ibid.)

I guess so - that was on Firefox. Now getting it on Edge. Could not
understand an ID at 2252, then tribute to Wolfman Jack. I suspect it
is not YHWH (Glenn, 2253 UT, ibid.)

Checked 5130 a couple times 2100 and 2200 UT; pop and rock music mix
with good signal in Montreal (Gilles Letourneau, 2253 UT, ibid.)

I`ve continued listening with one ear [only via Chris` SDR]. Oldies,
with some modulation dead air breaks. IDs something like ``Campus
Radio Summer Camp``, with seemingly legit callsign IDs for three?
Indiana stations, one of them an -LP, in Bloomington; and for WBCQ
5130. Asking for calls from SWLs to 812 369 5839. Announcement breaks
circa 2304 and 2331. And other times in between, seems like live DJs
(Glenn, 2338 UT, ibid.)

This appears to be the source, higher fi and without the dropouts:

(Glenn, 0011 UT, ibid.)

Hi Glenn, Yep, I also hear WBCQ transmitting on 5130 kHz. Report is as
follows: 0105 UT -- English- Program: Music Request Show. SINPO 45334.
There is quite a bit of flutter. So, they must have managed to get it
to return to the air. 73 de (Chuck W3ON Gessner, 0112 UT, ibid.)

With GPS-sync active on my KiwiSDR, I make it 5130.317 kHz at 0135 UT
July 28. Classic rock. S9+20. Relatively good modulation with some
distortion, and some thunderstorm QRN (Jim Barrett, Elmira, NY, 0157
UT, ibid.)

Area 51 on 6160 [instead] --- Tuned in at 2245 to get my equipment
adjusted. Was mostly noise till 0003 [July 28]. Signal started to come
up and wasn't terrible. Marred by two long, noisy hets. At 0101 the
audio disappeared completely and could only hear RHC [6165]. Had to
shut off the SYNC function and go to a narrower filter to get correct
audio back. Could still hear the audio from Cuba underneath things but
could copy Area 51 (John Carver, Mid-North Indiana, 0207 UT, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Canned IDs every half hour or so, so swift that it was hard to copy
call letters. At first I thought one of them was WIUS, but that`s in
IL, and WIUX-LP correlates with Bloomington IN, as well as music
audio seemingly matching but far out of synch with WBCQ via MD SDR ---
in fact, WIUX itself about 32 seconds behind WBCQ as received here at
0014 July 28. One of the other Indiana calls sounded like WWHH, but
that`s not right for any legal station. Did anyone copy them all for
sure?

At 0024 UT July 28, I`m finally trying to hear it on my own receiver,
VP S8 on 5130.32; programming on 7490+ and 6160 all sound different at
0028. At 0047, 6160 is S9+10 vs local high line noise level.

Remember that Larry Will expected his Area 51 to be on three WBCQ
frequencies Sunday evening/UT Monday: 6160, 5130 and 3265. Please
confirm whether this applies to WORLD OF RADIO at 0300v, not just
5130+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9930, July 27 at 2101, WTWW-2 is OFF, after having been ON
during midday as in previous report, testing? Nor is there any signal
audible on 15810-, WTWW-3, which was on earlier that morning.

5085 (nor 9930) is still not on at 2336 nor by 0000 UT July 28, no
`Theatre Organ in the Ozarx` to be heard, but probably would be a
repeat, and probably on webcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 1660, July 28 at 0305 UT, Waco ad making fast SAH with the
other 1660 around here, Kansas City; then Waco rejoins a Rangers game,
presumably silly baseball from Texas vs another game on KWOD. The two
are mutually nullable as usual. Checking only because MWCircle had
this item via editor Steve Whitt on July 26:

USA ESPN KRZI 1660 off air

https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/espn-central-texas-radio-station-vandalized-damage-knocks-station-off-air.html
tho it`s not clear in this brief item what the vandalism was and
replies from the P.D. indicate it was back on by the next day (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. RADIO FREE AMERICA
The greatest radio shows in America, on your schedule
https://www.radiofreeamerica.com/

Here`s their long station list:
https://www.radiofreeamerica.com/stations
it`s in alfabetical order by city, so you may want to do a search on
call letters instead.

Strangely? enough, not a single OK station, nearest being the one from
KS, HPPR (High Plains Public Radio out of Garden City).

I first heard about this from plugs on one of my favorite webcasting
stations, KSFR in Santa Fe. RFA mainly allows access to music shows on
demand for two weeks, but also linx to them when they are live.

This includes many of the best, or most diverse, public, university
and community radio stations. Some of them used to be on my Monitoring
Reminders Calendar, which I had to suspend as just too much work to
maintain. Recommended to explore RFA if you have time to listen to so
much good stuff (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
