WORLD OF RADIO 2211 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday October 8 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, this new time finally activated after several weeks on the alleged skedgrid: S9/+5 into Bonaire SDR, maybe a trace of jamming during fades. Not confirmed, UT Sun Oct 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, nor expected as changed to `Thank You` show previously. I`ve asked Jeff what that`s for, and if it`s a WRMI produxion or from elsewhere. Nasty ute is still blasting noise at 0030 for first 14 seconds. NOT confirmed, UT Sunday Oct 8 at 0300 on WRMI 7780, despite appearance on skedgrid several days ago; instead, Slovakia in English. Guess what: skedgrid shows 7780 at 0300-0330 on BOTH Systems D & F, the latter with RSI English and // 7730, where I think I am also hearing it but not synchronized. I notified Jeff about this contradixion, and now I see that Sys D sked has deleted WOR and everything else at 0300-0330 daily.

Not on air last night or tonight. Problem is the remote control which had been reliable for years, is not working. Will have to download the program and install on a different computer. Bob Biermann agrees to wait until next Monday night = UT Tuesday October 10 at 0100; but possibly could start earlier if the remote is working. He can also handle the PPP feeds. SFA in Colorado still wants to sell it; maybe in a couple months. If so, George hopes to retain access to one of the transmitters.

Hits S9+40/48 but modulation including hymns is a bit rough and crackly with distortion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, continued from last report on reactivated WTWW, UT Tue Oct 10: preacher continues with visual references, evidently a sermon before an audience, but no reaxion heard from them; 0054 `Mighty Fortress` hymn, and then outro as from ``Trinity Chapel in southwest Virginia``, https://trinitychapelvirginia.com/ so it`s NOT PPP but BBB, or rather just BB as Bob Biermann has now ``retired`` from his bishop job per the Our Pastor page: nothing there yet about being on WTWW, or WRMI. So BB has a new radio program. But at 0059 ID as ``Ancient Word Radio on WTWW 5085`` And 0100 into BB`s `Truth2Ponder` mixing far-right politix with religion, like all over WRMI. Recheck at 0205 I hear an unknown different voice. Evidently BB is subleasing to other gospel huxters.

Followed by this: ``Hi Glenn, Regarding WTWW, I logged them here in Hope BC last night at 0212 (Tuesday evening 1912 PDT) until the top of the hour with Thunderbolt West Media with Jim Calhoun playing various country tracks he seemed to really like with occasional mentions of WRMI and Radio Angela. I don't recall hearing him mention WTWW at any time. He did give out a postal address in Hershey Nebraska for donations. At 0259 I heard an ID as Into Ancient Word Radio with legal ID.

Vanuatu on surprise new frequency, first heard 24 hours ago as unID. Now I`m hearing ``island music``, YL DJ with IDs in passing at 0643, 0646.5, 0654. Tunes included 0643 ``Country Roads`` about West Virginia, morphing into ``I Only Love You``. 0659.5* cuts off air just like 7260 used to do for frequency change. With USB tuning, WRMI 9955 TOMBS weak enough now not to be a problem. At first I suspected 4th harmonic of 2485, except that does not quite compute: would land on 9940. And if already on lowest frequency at nightfall, where to move but up? Nothing heard on other exact multiples of 2485 or 2490. Choice of 9960 maybe due to harmonic resonance of antenna and/or transmitter. Following my unID log last night, here`s what led up to the above, and following: ``[WOR] 9960, What is on now? Last night after 0600 UT I had a very weak broadcaster aside TOMBS/WRMI 9955. Tonight at 0521 UTwente locks onto 9959.999 but not audible. Nothing showing at remotes in Khabarovsk or Negros.
