WORLD OF RADIO 2052 monitoring: confirmed Saturday September 19 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+20 into UTwente. Also confirmed UT Sun Sept 20 at 0316 already in progress at Hungary item, on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO via nearby Warrenton SDR. Both this and afternoon airing have some slight skipping, playback problem or SDR problem? Tuned in direct at 0336 finds even stronger S9+20/30 and skipping also audible, finishing at 0336.8 so started early about 0307; next show, Ham-Sci also skipping.

WORLD OF RADIO 2052 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday September 21 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct but with portable antenna only, some deep fades. Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, VG at Maine SDR, also a few words apart via WRN webcast. Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 at 0230 on WRMIs 5800 to SSE and 7780 to NE, both equally VG S8-S9 at Rochester SDR. Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 from 0300:26 on Area 51 (61?) via WBCQ on new 6159.9 replacing 5130 as planned. I had started monitoring 6159.9 via Rochester remote at 0157 when JL was VG S8-S9; but by 0255 it had faded to JBA, at first thought off. So move to another SDR at further skip distance, Alexandria VA, holding up to S9+25. By 0315 it has faded there to S9 and noisy, so try the OKC SDR: only S6; then I try the Edinburgh, Indiana one: better S8, AM Synch shows +36.8 Hz carrier above tuned to 6159.90. At 0332 shortly after WOR has finished and HRI has started, I tune in direct at S9/+10, and measure it at 6159.929. In any event 6 MHz band reception at this distance from Maine is generally superior to 5 MHz, quite aside from any difference in outpower there may well be. But 6 MHz also loses closer-in coverage as the skip distance lengthens into the night. Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 at 0330 on WRMI 9955: no good at Bonaire or Rochester SDRs, JBA in Maine with pulse jamming also audible; direct to here at 0336, however, is F-G S7-S8 with jamming hardly audible. Also confirmed Monday Sept 21 at 1801 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria; recorded via UTwente for later checking, so no timings to the second. Usual open carrier came alive circa 1759 with tail of `Off the Hook` urging pledges to WBAI, the Pacifica New York station. That`s a good leftish media show I hadn`t heard in years and had no idea it would be on IRRS for less than a minute. It`s on the WBAI skedgrid https://www.wbai.org/schedule/ Wednesday Sept 23 at 7-8 pm EDT = 23-24 UT; but not on the incomplete? program roster or podcast list. But it is here: https://www.wbai.org/program/?program=76 leading to here: https://www.2600.com/offthehook/ 1800, quick sign-on by IRRS falsely claiming this is USB reduced carrier, and three FSN headlines. As for WOR from 1801, usual annoying splash from plus/minus 10 kHz stations, even on medium bandwidth AMSynch; and still no 7291 warble. Spotchex of recording find it generally OK and not truncated at the end 1830, except circa 1817 bad sticking and stuttering. Since there was complete silence interspersed, I hope this was an internet problem out of, rather than into, UTwente. I can never be certain that every WOR airing go out unscathed unless I listen live to every minute of every one of them, a bit much. Thus I appreciate knowing from anyone who happen to hear a problem.

Also confirmed UT Tue Sept 22 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9+20 at Bonaire; I listen to whole thing in background and it is not interrupted at 0350 like happened last week. Next: 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2052 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday September 23 from 2100:17 on WBCQ 7490.0, VP S5-S6 in noise level. Frequency has been adjusted; it was long about 7490.06, yesterday 7490.02. I check during Turner at 0145 Sept 24 a Rochester KiwiSDR which has SynchAM showing carrier varying slightly at minus 25 Hz, i.e. 7489.975v, almost on spot. Also confirmed UT Thu Sept 24 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9+10 direct but more undermodulated than usual, a strain to copy. 0126 check via UTwente, also undermodulated, but not such a problem at a tolerable steady S9+10. Final SW airing of this edition. New WOR 2053 should be ready by early UT Fri Sept 25 for first broadcasts on WRMIs at 0130 on 5010, 5850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4980, Sept 17 at 0623, not just a JBA carrier, but VP S8-S9 of music, presumed WRMI extra frequency/transmitter, maybe on more than exciter power, or a fluke propagational pipeline. Not // any other WRMI frequency, mostly TOMBS. Still nothing whatsoever about this on WRMI skedgrids --- at this hour half the 14 transmitters are not scheduled: #2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9395, Tue Sept 22 at 2210, WRMI-6 with discussion of far-right conspiracy theories about antifa, BLM leading to a communist revolution in America --- taking them seriously! More Alex Jones? No, the host is Bob Biermann, who has quietly started a second show on WRMI besides his low-key musings on `Your Weekend Show`, with a religious undertone since he is after all a bishop or something in an obscure sect; but in keeping with his rightward leanings, now it`s high-key politix, on skedgrid as `Truth 2 Ponder` this hour only Mon- Fri. And on the programming page: ``On Monday, August 31st, a new Radio Show and Podcast called “Truth to Ponder” begins. It all kicks off at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, and is hosted by Bob Biermann, who is also host of “Your Weekend Show.” We certainly live in a time the likes of which we have never seen before. Today, separating truth from fiction and fake from real is not always easy.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Tue Sept 22 at 2218, Radio EmmaToc on WRMI with a Radio Caroline clip, S9+25/30 with some jamming audible only at fades. I suppose this qualify as a `media program` so will add to my DX/SWL/Media Program schedule. WRMI programming claims it is a *monthly half-hour*, but grid shows a full hour at 2200-2300; need to check what`s really on at 2230. And other times not confirmed lately: UT Thu 0000-0030 on 9955, and UT Mon 0100-0200 on 9455. I guess a monthly hour or semihour repeated for 4 weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7490, UT Sat Sept 19 at 0000, first monitoring webcast, WBCQ has A&A conversing before the WTO theme plays for `AAAWWW`; almost immediately interrupted by phone call from annoying Freddy, a good excuse to tune out. Recheck at 0022, Freddy is just now being let go! Whew. Allan then says he has been working on rebuilding #1 transmitter; the one donated by WRMI, just waiting for Tim Tron to come up from Skowhegan and put the finishing tuneups on it. TT seems putting off coming to Monticello, despite low COVID-19 rate there. I think AW said or implied it`s the #3 transmitter which is currently on 7490, but also mentioned a #2. I wish we had a clear roster of all six WBCQ SW transmitters, by number and which frequency they occupy. Has the ex-WRMI unit hauled from FL last year, ever been on the air yet at WBCQ? All except the 500 kW, i.e. ``classic WBCQ`` have to be rewired for single-phase power. At 0030 A&A get into discussing conspiracy theories, this week coming off a bit milder. Now I check the other frequencies at Rochester remotes: 5130 is S7-S8; 3265 nothing; 6159.9 is S9; 7490 no signal! 9330 WLCR in Portuguese is S6-S7. ``Biden can`t win since he`s partially demented``. O yeah? 0050 about an hour late, word arrives that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. On his best behavior AW does not denounce her as a socialist/communist, but ``may she be reunited with our lord and savior in heaven; RIP``. Wait a minute, she`s Jewish! But so was AW, originally, so he should know the difference. Before they finish at 0100, I check Alexandria VA SDR for 7490 and it`s OK there, S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Regarding the late Justice Ginsburg being treated as if she were a Christian: among the wall-to-wall TV coverage, the crowd spontaneously gathered outside the SCOTUS building broke into hymn, `Amazing Grace`. This is one of the best-known Christian hymns, not ecumenical, Judeo-Christian, from its very origins in a conversion. https://www.learnreligions.com/amazing-grace-701274 However, the original lyrix do not mention J.C. at all, and thus could be taken as more generic. But is it ever sung in synagogues? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7490 webcast), UT Sun Sept 20 roughly 0007-0022 I catch part of `AAAWWW` on WBCQ repeat that I skipped yesterday at same time. Freddy is asking questions, so we get a bit more info about WHRI. Complains he can`t find many views of that facility online, but WBCQ will fix that once in charge. AW has visited Cypress Creek once, says the facility was well-built originally for the Christian Scientists (as WSHB); has three Diesel generators and as a peaking plant can sell excess power back to the utility. Antennas are curtains capable of handling 500 kW. About having been working on the WBCQ #1 transmitter for 6? weeks, says he hopes it will not burn up again --- oh, that one. It`s still confusing what`s #2 and what`s #3, and what number the ex-WRMI one is or will be; and is that the original Wilkinson from Radio Clarin, or not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6159.93v, UT Wed Sept 23 at 0231, WBCQ good in what I assumed would be `Amateur Radio Roundtable`, moved from 5130, but chops off air at 0231.7* before I could confirm that, and before I could finish remeasuring it; and does not come back by 0257. Not overall power failure, as 7490.02v is still on BSing. But the updated sked for 6160, http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=6160 shows `Hal Turner`, from 0100 only until 0200, as already scheduled there. `A.R.R.` is one of only two programs still shown on 5130, at 0100-0230 UT Wed and the chopoff time here correlates, but I believe I had checked 5130 before and heard nothing. Maybe the third semihour was tacked on 6160 after Hal? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555-USB, Sept 18 at 1451, no signal from WJHR; recheck at 2043 can`t decide if a trace of not. The SWBC station, or rather glorified ham rig, most likely to have been blown away by Hurricane Sally, Milton FL near Pensacola. Seldom audible anyway. It will be of note if anyone definitely hear it again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (5085 webcast), UT Sun Sept 20 at 0022, WTWW-2 has already started TONITO in such music. This week are recordings performed by John Ferguson, January 1995, at Paramount, Indianapolis, immediately before that organ was dismantled and trucked off to storage, unknown where. 0048 outro, Bob Heil has finally come up with a new program name since he moved to Belleville IL, `Theatre Organ Under The Arch` --- so we have to retire `TONITO` for Theatre Organ Not In The Ozarx`, henceforth TOUTA. A different very noisy organ recording plays on until 0052 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5072.1 & 5097.9, Sept 23 at 0203, can no longer detect parasitic spur carriers out of 5085 WTWW-1, which have been there for years; despite 5085 hitting S9+20/30 with some hum. Something must have been tweaked. But now there is a distorted blob circa 5082 at S9+10/20, without a match circa 5088. Recheck at 0620, 5085 in S9+30 of dead air, eventually revived with rock song, in German? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9980, Sept 22 at 2219, WWCR Brother Scare is quite weak, only S7-S9, while another WWCR is blasting in BS, S9+35 on 9350. Both supposedly 100 kW; 9980 #4 at 90 degrees, 9350 #2 at 85 degrees, so they should be the same here, and 9980 often blasts in too, until 2400. Could the current MUF lie between 9350 and 9980? Unlikely. Must be something else, like reduced power (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4840, Sept 23 at 0616, WWCR in dead air yet again, S9+30, while 3215 and much weaker // 5890 are still modulating BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17775-, Sept 23 at 1448, JBA carrier, fading to no carrier from KVOH, usual situation here. I wonder how well it be doing to further targets, but do not get around to rechecking until 1703: absolutely no better here now when it might have built up, but E is much more sporadic now than summer, with the 6m maps often showing *no* Es to any MUF. Now I check various remotes not far off its 100-degree beam: Key West, JBA S6 which is more from its noise level. Dominican Republic: nothing. Bonaire: VP S5 with AMSynch at -9.0 Hz where I have often measured it here, and with ACI from BBC 17780 S7. Pardinho, Brasil: JBA S5, must use LSB to avoid splash from 17780 BBC in English, at S9+25, Ascension of course, this hour only --- those lucky Brazilians! But why in the world on an almost empty band, are these on adjacent channels?? Such are the drawbax of being stuck on a single too-high frequency even thru solarmin (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Projected WIPE DRM frequencies from NJ: See GUINEA! ** U S A. 1360, Sept 20 at 0453-0501 UT, toward end of another WNJC NJ DX test, I listen closely tuned to 1361-USB for any sign of tones, sweeps or Morse IDs, but nada. By 0500 I switch back to 1360 in time to hear a Sioux City ID from KSCJ, bong and CBS news --- the dominant station here and one of only three with as much night power as 5 kW, altho direxional, the others residing in CT and OR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UZBEKISTAN [non]. 15310, Sept 18 at 1452, VP S6-S7 talk about even with noise level; also noted other days as OOFSOB [one of few signals on band]. Aoki/NDXC shows this hour only it`s R Liberty in Uzbek via Woofferton UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA [non]. 600, VOA via R. Libertad, COLOMBIA: I have not monitored since its première UT Sept 16, but Don Moore now reports Sept 19: ``Colombia/Venezuela: There has been discussion in Cadena DX, the Latin American Facebook group, on the VOA programs via Radio Libertad 600 kHz in Barranquilla, Colombia. Santiago San Gil in Barinas wrote that normally Radio Libertad was received there with "acceptable signals" but that since the programs began there has been significant co-channel interference. Fernando Viloria in the coastal Venezuelan state of Carabobo says he has been hearing an unlisted station calling itself "Radio Verdad" and "La Emisora de la Alegría" on 600 kHz. The station has not announced a location. Several DXers wrote of tuning the Radio Libertad programs on the remote SDR in Bonaire. They report it is putting in a good signal to Bonaire. (Don Moore)`` A great many Venezuelan radio stations have gone off the air, tnx to government persecution and/or the economic situation. Was there ever a 600? Yes, first checking a WRTH 2014 at hand: YVSW, 15 kW, R. Alto Llano, Sta Bárbara de Barinas. I wonder if SSG remembers that one? In fact only one of two MW stations in that state at that time. YVSW also in WRTH 2005, when there was a second 600: YVQB, 10 kW, Radio Sucre, Cumaná, Sucre, whose address was in a building called Libertad. In 2005 WRTH there were a number of stations around the country named Radio Alegría, or Radio Fe y Alegría, probably a group or network. Do not see any with Verdad in their names. There may have been remnants of these outlets which could be pressed into jamming disservice in short order; or any MW transmitter could soon be retuned to 600. Connecting to a proper-wavelength antenna could be quite another matter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See COLOMBIA UNIDENTIFIED.

I`m surprised that no one else seems to do this. ***the 1629 carrier is especially intriguing; usually I don`t even bother to continue 9-kHz scans across the x-band for TAs, as WRTH stops at 1611; but there are countless Europirates beyond its scope, and presumably low-powered. For example, Roberto Pavanello, Italy recently logged: ``1629 14/9 22.10 R. Toulouse - Dutch MX suff.`` In British DX Club Communication, Axel Röse in Neuss, Germany had a couple of daytime logs in August on 1629 of ``Z[ender?] Monza, D``, I guess meaning Dutch land, or Dutch language? rather than German.
