Someone in Moskva has been listening for an hour upon whom I camp (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Aug 25 at 1455 check, another Wednesday with no signal from LRA36 into Brazilian SDR; recheck at 1807 via another one, still no signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 346-MCW, Aug 22 at 0611 UT, NDB dash and YXL, 500 watts at SiouXLookout, Ontario; also on 332-MCW, dash and QT Thunder Bay atop nodash, IC Wichita KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 6754-USB, Aug 20 at 0414, Trenton Military more or less back to normal after several days of distorted modulation and ``no report received`` from anything, per other monitors. Now only partial NRRs and OK mod; but clock is still off: own time check at 0417Z as ``0415``. Haven`t heard it much on day frequency 15034-USB. CHR has gone thru such phases before, leading to assumptions that it`s done for, but eventually recovers when someone fixes it, after vacation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 10960, Aug 23 at 1351, CNR1 jammer in Chinese at S4-S6, only one audible in the 10s-11s or 12s-13s (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey in full continuous bandscan down from 19 to 10 MHz, Aug 24 from 2331 to 2340: 16160 JBA fluttery carrier vs CODAR; 16100 same; 15970 slightly stronger JBA; 15760 Chinese S0/S2; 15360 Chinese? S2/S4; 14920 S2/S3 flutter, 13130 JBA carrier. All of these correlate with jammers against Sound of Hope, in Aoki/NDXC. 15600, Aug 24 at 2334, S0/S2 music with flutter during CNR1 jammer survey. This one is CRI in ``Portuguese`` via Beijing site, so should match Cuban relay on 13650 music-only with much better signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 4747 & 4783 approx., Aug 24 at 0035, scratchy matching spurs 17/18 kHz both sides of 4765, R. Progreso; barely audible vs storm noise level, lower one also QRMing CODAR. An undated item in disgraced FB via SW Bulletin refers to RP being off the air ``this evening`` for maintenance. Maybe that was UT Aug 11 when I found 4765 missing as were the spurs. But now it`s clear they did not fix them and may well not even know about them. Stations do not read my monitoring at their own risks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6100, Aug 21 at 0345, RHC with jazz, // Spanish service 9710. Nothing on 6060 where this is supposed to be, 6100 not turned on until English at 0500. Now there is heavy ACI from Japan via FRANCE on 6105 scheduled until 0400. Aoki shows RHC starting 6100 English at 0400: could happen, but not supposed to. At 0345 RHC English is properly on 6000 & 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165 & 5040, Aug 25 at 0515, RHC English is OFF these already, while 6000 & 6100 are sufficiently on, and 6060 marred by that humbuzz. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 7157, 7215, 7335 and stronger 7375, Aug 21 at 0610, Cuban pulse jammings against nothings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ERITREA. 7140, Aug 21 at 0347, JBA carrier presumed VOBME, but nothing on the other VOBME program 7180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21690, Aug 24 at 1546, JBA via RSA remote, RFI hour in Swahili, which for S-21, from Sept 5, is moving on up to 25775.

Then the original. Everything pop/rock so far; is there any other genre? This one does not know about 7780 either, opener just announcing 5800, but 7780 is better here via remote in Maryland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Aug 25 at 0612, JBA carrier, presumed R.

From: Radio Insight (2021-08-04) via Steve Whitt, UK, MW News Editor https://radioinsight.com/headlines/211372/kfaq-tulsa-to-flip-to-sports/ ``Griffin Communications will flip News/Talk “TalkRadio 1170” KFAQ Tulsa to Sports “The Blitz” on Monday, August 23. The new format will be led by Jeremie ‘Pop’ Poplin, who has served as Program Director and 10am-12pm host on KFAQ since February 2020. Poplin previously programmed and hosted afternoons at iHeartMedia Sports “1430 The Buzz” KTBZ and “1300 The Buzz” KAKC Tulsa. Poplin tweeted that the Blitz will feature local programming from 6am to 6pm, but has not disclosed what that will entail. KFAQ will continue to serve as the Tulsa affiliate for Oklahoma State University sports and Jenks High School football. The “Blitz” name comes from the weekly “Oklahoma Sports Blitz” that airs on Griffin’s CBS television affiliates KWTV Oklahoma City and KOTV Tulsa on Sunday evenings.

[I dispense with all the quotation marks; some of this is paraphrased, but accurate; gh`s own remarx in these brackets.] Console is screwing up. Something wrong with the 6160 audio amp. It`s hot and humid, 80s and 90s [presumably in Maine, not Florida]. Been a rough week. It`s 20th of August, YOOLF 2021 for this original live broadcast. Complaining about masking. 0017, COVID restrixions prevent maintenance workers coming in from other countries. 0022, annoying Tim calls in, voted for Trump four times including primaries. [Quickly get rid of Tim.] Angela does not believe anything she hears, reads or sees. 0025, quadri-casting on 3265, 4790, 6160, 7490 [confirmed on quick check of Maine SDR, VG on the bottom two, VP on the top two, skipping over]. 0029, SuperStition update: still on backup low-power transmitter. $200K replacement PA tube is to be shipped [from Europe?] on August 31. Hope to get back on air early Sept with techs from Continental and own staff working on it. [Most of rest of show ranting about the WHRI purchase attempt:] Heard a year ago from Hans [Johnson, founder of Jihad-DX], that it was for sale; WBCQ offered opportunity to buy it. Got financing together with borrowed money, to save the SC SW station from scrap. Purchase and sales agreements made, application filed with FCC for licensing, not the assets. Filing fee about $1000. Normally takes 6-8 weeks to go thru for domestic purchases. This was in August 2020 --- and then we waited and waited and waited, etc. There was the usual 30-day period for any comments and objexions to be filed: there were none. Finally in APRIL 2021, got a phone call from someone at FCC apologizing for the delay, said they were sending some paperwork to WBCQ`s attorneys. WBCQ has always been upfront with its listeners, Allan claims: [brief mute]; In the mail, got an *informal* objexion which was filed Oct 15, *two weeks after* the filing window for those: should have been trashed. And WBCQ did not get it for 6 months! It`s absurd, defamatory. AW replied, waited, groveled, by phone, email, appealed via Sen. Collins, begged. Finally on August 10, 2021, one year from the original application, it *expired* because Family Broadcasting decided they had had enough and would not renew the matter. AW does not blame them for that. WBCQ does not *need* WHRI, but was trying to save one major SW station. AW says his constitutional rights were violated, his good name besmirched. FCC treatment was reprehensible. Angela interjects: ``Watch who you vote for, idiots in power!`` [Right: this all started under TRUMP, don`t you realize?] We`re not in it for the money, hoped merely to break even like at WBCQ. FCC purposely delayed and delayed and delayed this. AW is really angry. We don`t need the extra headache of WHRI, but wanted to save what would have been WBCQ transmitters 7, 8 and 9. This is not over. Maybe a petition? Listeners should file complaints about this matter with their congressmen, with FCC itself. WBCQ has been wronged, censored, bollixed up. Further legal remedies are not being divulged. Angela warns, ``They`re coming for you, next.`` 0052 [a few items from just published Free Radio Weekly. Allan again refers to ``single sideband television`` instead of slow-scan TV]. E-mailer advises that the WBCQ webcast drops off at :53 past every hour: [just did it for me too!] Will continue to fight. 0059 prayer, A&A agree, ``We`ve got the biggest balls of them all``, into Hal Turner. Can anyone dig out of FCC files the notorious informal objexion? Who made it and what did they say? You may want to listen to this AAAWWW yourself. Scheduled repeats all on 7490 from 0030 UT Sunday, 2230 Monday, 2130 Tuesday, 2230 Wednesday. Larry Will`s version: ``8/21, 0000, 7490am, WBCQ. Typical Angela and Allan Weiner broadcast starting with animated discussions of vaccine conspiracy theories, whining about McDonald's not serving breakfast all day because of Covid, a few Covid deaths don't matter when millions of babies are aborted every year, etc. "Tim from Connecticut" calls with some more unhinged commentary; he'll never take the vaccine, ever. Then they start talking about the proposed WHRI purchase. At 38: Allan says that the original purchase agreement with WHRI expired on August 10 and was not renewed, so the deal is off! The rest of the broadcast was spent on railing against the insidious delaying tactics employed by the FCC who knew that if they just kept delaying, then the deal was likely doomed. Of course, Angela implies that it's the fault of the Biden administration. Larry Will, Mount Airy, Maryland`` John Carver`s version ``Tonight's AAWWW show started on time on 4790, 6160 and 7490. Allan in the studio with Angela. Very brief talk about a movie then Allan had to tell us once again how beautiful Angela is. Very hot in Maine this week with high humidity and temps in the eighties and nineties. As is usual anymore, some equipment problems in the studio. Longish talk about Covid with Angela getting a little loud. Phone call at 0020 from Tim again who riles up the Covid talk and vaccine talk. Angela goes into a mini rant. Allan says they should have the replacement tube for the superstation by the end of the month and hopefully have the transmitter up and running early in the next month. Then he finally talked in depth about the sale of WHRI. Explained about all the hoops they had to jump through and all the delays. Holdup was because a complaint about the sale that was filed after the due date and shouldn't have caused a problem. It was announced earlier this month that the seller was tired of waiting for the sale to be approved and has backed out of the deal and cancelled the sale. I'm very sorry as at this time one of my granddaughters with some of my great grandchildren showed up at my door and I had to go to deal with them and missed the end of the sale story. Reading of emails at 0053 s starting with this week`s Free Radio Weekly. Closing prayer at 0058 and program was off the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7489.9v, UT Sun Aug 22 at 0048 check, WBCQ playing music instead of repeating `AAAWWW` rant about FCC, WHRI purchase kaput. Program guide still does show AAAWWW during this hour. It`s never totally correct; another example: 7490 Mo 2300 0000 UTC Mo 07:00PM 08:00PM EST Uncle Bill's Melting Pot 7490 Mo 2330 0000 UTC Mo 07:30PM 08:00PM EST Camp Constitution Radio Well, it can`t be both at 2330-0000, can it? In fact, UBMP always plays only the first 30 minutes, for many months. As a `filler`, Uncle Bill does not want to publicize it. Also all the times are mislabeled EST instead of EDT: they are NOT the same, rather one hour difference. But the times shown are really EDT, UT minus 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 9455, Aug 19 at 0554, WRMI-5 is still off while 9395 & 9955 are audible, but poorly. 1351 recheck, algo JBA on 9455, much weaker than TOMBS on 9395; that would be Furusato no Kaze from Japan via TAIWAN for Korea North, as sked until 1358. 9455 WRMI has been off since at least Aug 11; no info on the problem or prognosis. It`s dispensable with TOMBS or SMTV except for two hours of the 24 with variety of programming scheduled: 00-01 & 09-10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2100) ** U S A. 4975, Aug 19 at 2355, tune-in one receiver here to 4976-LSB, and another to 4980, at 4979-USB; as I suggested previously, if 4975 & 4980 come on at exactly the same time, that would prove 4975 is a spur from WRMI-4. I had already detected The Overkiller on both. YES! They both pop carriers on about *2358.5, 4975 JBA carrier, and 4980 with the WRMI IS & ID loop prior to ToH. This also answers my unID at the end of WOR 2100, recorded shortly before this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9455, Aug 21 at 2322, WRMI-5 finally back on air after at least 10 days silence - music during TOMBS moan-n-groan hour // 9980 WWCR. Poor only S7/S9 vs storm noise from next county, weaker than 9395 WRMI with othermusic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Aug 22 at 0026, TOUTA has just started with `Mr Sandman`; due to storms here, computer is disconnected as is the LW antenna thru the trees, so must listen to WTWW-2 only in mono shortwave, still plenty strong via the indoor LW; ends at 0054, back to Ted and his hard-sell commercials and rock (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1090, Aug 20 at 0600 UT, dead air again from KAAY AR, facilitating understations, the stronger making medium SAH and 0602 Fox Sports Radio ``live`` ---- really? Or when it was recorded. Presumed again to be 5000-watt ND *daytimer* WAQE, Rice Lake, Wisconsin on the Fox SR network, as previously caught Aug 16 at the same hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1090, Aug 20 at 0600 UT, during the KAAY deadair, besides the Fox Sports affiliate, believed WAQE Wisconsin, I neglected to say that I also heard Baltimore mentioned, so perhaps WBAL. Of course, all other 1090s should be forbidden ever to mention Baltimore, to facilitate presumed IDing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130, Aug 20 at 0602 UT, song in English dominating 50 kW KWKH Shreveport; once again the allegedly one-watt-at-night reactivated KLEY Wellington KS; also a 250-watt semi-local still in the daytime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130, Aug 22 at 0602 UT just as I tune across, ID for KLEY on 1130 & 100.3, Wellington KS; surely 250 watt day power, not one watt night power, enough to overcome KWKH here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130, re my unID Spanish QRM to KWKH in the middle of the night, maybe one of 3 daytimers listed in Spanish, Powell E Way III, SC, reports on ABDX August 18: ``[abdx.org] WLBA Posted Wednesday, August 18, 2021, 7:20 pm abdx mail list 1130 WLBA Gainesville GA *blasting* in at 9:15 PM EDT .

However listed in last year`s NRC AM Log as SS:MEX, 10 kW ND daytimer, 1 kW critical hours, group: La Mejor [sic: Peor?].

No longer doing that during a local? commercial, but no sign of any other audio now. C2CAM affiliate list shows seven others on 1150, in WI, LA, FL, OR, OH, MO and WA. Closests would be KRMS Osage Beach MO, and WJBO Bâton Rouge LA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 5040, Aug 25 at 0557, JBA carrier, after RHC begone, and still past 0623. Must be R. Vanuatu, reported reactivated here as of August 24 by Lúcio Bobrowiec, Brasil after missing a month from any frequency, then also by Bryan Clark, NZ and Ron Howard, California; and Ivo Ivanov using remotes suggests they are staying on 5040 at all times. As soon as I heard 5040 I checked for second harmonic 10080 but nothing there. Same? transmitter when on 3945 would harmonicize persistently on 7890 and 11835, even 15780. Sunset at Port Vila: 0639, not the exact SW site of Emten Lagoon, Efate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6885, Aug 21 at 0343, JBA carrier, probably a pirate.
