WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST UPDATE June 22 Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) France - Atlantic 2000: new addition to list 2) Ukraine - RUR: Added link to the archive of UA Security Issue bulletins (Thx to Glenn Hauser in WOR iog mail list) 3) USA - Texas Radio Shortwave: Added link to new TRSW archive channel on Mixcloud, and link to TRSW Facebook Listener's Group The next update is scheduled for August. Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** ANTARCTICA. Missed checking for LRA36 Sat June 18 around 1500. Did anyone hear it? Have seen no reports (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. Re missed checking LRA36 on June 18 circa 1500: confirmed by Lucas Willian Bocchi who sends a couple clips with good reception, too large to redistribute: ``Hello Glenn. How are you? Follow the LRA36 listen at June 18 at 12:00 PM GMT -3 BRT (15:00 GMT). Signal strong on Santa Izabel do Oeste - PR - Brasil, using RSPDx / SDR Console 3.1 and Icom IC R-75 attached to Windom Antenna (47 Mt)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, June 22 at 1536, first check for LRA36 this Wednesday: NO signals into three Argentina, one Uruguay and four Brasil SDRs. Could it have come and gone already, or not at all today? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA [non]. BBCWS Midwinter special, another test prior to the real thing on June 21: *2130 June 17 on 12065, JIP normal programming, into Buenos Aires SDR, S5/S7; nothing heard on other Woofferton 9505 vs noise level, nor 6035 UAE at all; S6/S7 on 7305 Ascension. At 2138 also checked RSA remote, which should capture 6035, but none of that nor any others (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA [non]. All set for the annual BBCWS Midwinter broadcast to Antarctica, June 21 at 2126 tune-in to Woofferton 12065 via LU4AA remote near Buenos Aires. Cuts on at *2129 with tone S9+10 easily overcoming noise level, so I stay here and do not even check the other frequencies as I do not want to miss anything. Initially, all four RX at this Kiwi are tuned to one BBC frequency or another, but the rest go and come. {BBC finally decided not to use UAE 6035} 2130 opening by hostess Cerys Matthews - Welsh, pronounced Care-iss, Calling Antarctica, especially all 32 over-winterers at Rothera station on the Peninsula - pronounced Ráw-dher-a. Interview woman formerly there, about strange dreams; acknowledging other nations` stations, notably Ukrainian. 2133 messages to South Georgia, bit of music, from family voices, at King Edward station and another one. 2135 greeting from an explorer. 2136 bit of Taylor Swift song for SG; greeting in French; limerick in English; heavy French accent in English; unison in English. 2139 Sir David Attenborough assures it`s still sunny in Surrey; a new research ship has been named for him. 2140 ID, msg from Director of British Antarctic Survey, Prof. Jane Francis. 2142 greetings to the 32 at Rothera, from many family members. Details hard to understand over phone, accents, but no doubt the relatives recognise them. Ex-Rotheran tells about research there under ice, where one hears ice cracking, wails of Weddell seals. Ice cliffs are breaking and glaciers receding due to climate change. More family greetings including from kids; 2154 poem; 2157 final message; 2159 music and credits to 2200*. Starting at 2145 and at least thrice I see on the waterfall a JBV diagonal trace upward from 10? to 26 MHz, i.e. an ionosonde. Tnx for another enjoyable special, which no doubt will soon be available online for those who missed it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 4924.835, June 18 at 0606, JBA carrier. A few hours earlier Manuel Méndez, Spain had reported R. Aparecida reactivated after 5 years --- but it used to be on 5035. Further monitoring by Rafael Rodríguez and MM concluded it`s really what you would expect on 4925v, reactivated R. Educação Rural, Tefé, Amazonas, but it was relaying R. Aparecida network overnight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 4924.8, June 22 at 0647, no signal from Tefé, relaying Aparecida or not. That reactivation was only briefly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9669.335V, June 16 at 0634, RVM music S1/S6 again way off-frequency from nominal 9665. As I am measuring, it jumps to 9669.320V. Like first noted yesterday almost hitting 9670 where Channel 292 is probably on but not audible here. In the meantime, Wolfgang Büschel also reported June 15, direct or remotedly?: ``Glenn, your jumping Brazilian Hobby favorite station from R Voz Missionaria is now on its way much upwards, at 21.03 UT measured on 9669.490 ... .510 kHz - shift some 20 Hertz up and down. S=7-8 at 22.40 UT on 9669.492 kHz settled here around`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2143) ** BRAZIL. 9669.893V, June 19 at 0602, RVM music and Portuguese, S5/S9, still way off 9665 frequency and audibly wavering even more than usual. Bad news for 9670.00 Channel 292 Germany in some areas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9670.003, June 21 at 0636, JBA S3 signal, surely R. Voz Missionária finally breaking the 9670 barrier, as no carrier lower to 9665 and nothing else including Channel 292, Germany, normally audible at this hour. John Hudak, Ontario, tells the WOR iog about monitoring RVM extensively several hours previous when it was jumping around all over from just below 9665 to almost 9670 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9673.30V, June 22 at 0255, R. Voz Missionária straying further than ever from nominal 9665. Via Campo, Brasil SDR, hard to pinpoint but if tuned to 9673.30, S4/S6, carrier offset fluxuates between +78 and +128 Hz. Then tuned to 9673.40, fluxuates +40 to minus 57 Hz. 0406 recheck same tuner, 9673.30 plus 10 to 26 Hz. Direct at 0635 June 22: 9635.318V, S6/S9 hetting something weaker on 9675.0, presumably a non-jammer CNR1 Beijing. Wolfgang Büschel had reported earlier June 21: ``ZYE890 R. Voz Missionária, Camboriú SC. Web player \\ 9673.290 kHz centered 2306 UT, up 10 to 30 Hertz shift on 9673.300 kHz And web player via URL \\ https://www.radiovozmissionaria.com.br/radio/?w=janela [selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz] (wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews June 21)`` Later, June 22 at 1540, finding no Antarctica, my Campo is still tuned to 9673.00, with a good S9+15 of RVM music, +227/243 Hz offset fluxuating less than before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA [and non]. 6030, June 22 at 0645, some talk JBA under wallofnoise Cuban jamming otherwise against nothing. Seems emphatic and possibly English, as a gospel huxter, but more likely comedian on CFVP Funny 1060. Why in the world doesn`t CKMX get a change to a clearer SW frequency? Such things are unthinkable to domestic oriented broadcasters. On 6030 not only Radio Martí and consequent excessive jamming, but per Aoki also problematic at least during our night hours: CNR1 DRM Beijing, Ethiopia; possibly borderline India, Myanmar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 13020 & 13130, June 18 at 1436, CNR1 jammers vs SOH, both S6/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. Jamming-against-nothing survey, June 16 at 0636+: 11930, 11860, 11845, 9965, 9955-under-RMI, 9805, 9565, 7335, 6030, DentroCuban Jamming Command incompetently wasting kountless kilowatts; but anyCommie hearing all that noise may gain a false sense of security: I`m protected!! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, June 16 at 0645, only RHC left, undermodulated English with some hum, S9/+10, announcer accent sounds rather like Arnie but probably another guy. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, June 18 at 0610, RHC English with big humbuzz; clear on only other frequency 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5040, June 20 at 0339, on the Maryland remote waterfall tuned to WBCQ 5130v, I notice that this RHC frequency is absent, while 5025 and 4765 are still on, the latter R. Progreso with jazz vs CODAR. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13628 & 13772 approx., June 20 at 1454, the RHC extremely distorted FMish spurblobs out of 13700 are back! The upper one is weaker and intermittent. After a long spell without encountering them, altho not checked every morning. 13700 is only S7+. Better audio tuning FM mode and the traditional tone is also audible, F# above Cmiddle or about 370 Hz. Something`s always wrong at RHC. How long has it been? Searching on a frequency won`t work, since they are never the same from one time to the next. Searching on keyword ``spurblob`` however leads to definite report of January 18, 2022 at 1553 of 13761 & 13638. So pleased with the renewed catches, I do not think to check for weaker second-orders at twice the displacement from 13700, until 1529 when they are all off already. Should have been circa 13556 and 13844 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, June 20 at 2149, steady S9 of dead air from RHC; 11850 as well, S6/S7, while 11760 & 9710 modulate. Aoki shows 15230 in a break 1600-2300, and 11850 not until *2200 so that could be excused as a warmup; 11760 also breaking 1800-2200, and 9710 not at all in the tarde. Any RHC ``scheduling`` must be taken as a guess or approximation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13632 approx., June 21 at 1427, RHC spurblob with F# tone out of 13700 transmitter. Also traces about 13769 and 13564. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13700, June 22 at 1410+, this RHC transmitter is really haywire now; instead of two main spurblobs equally displaced above and below, I`m hearing blobs all over the band coming and going, best recognized by the F# tone when tuned in FM mode even if any recognizable talk modulation lax: and they are very broad/wide so frequencies cited are more approx. than ever: 13792, 13748, 13652, 13602, 13628. Another check at 1453: 13635, 13662, 13730, 13767, 13798, 13829-13832, 13864, 13900. Now fundamental 13700 is S9+10/20. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, June 20 at 2204, no R. Cairo English signal into UTwente, nor earlier direct. Is it ever on anymore? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. Re my last reports of no signal from 9440 R. Cairo English, Alan Holder replies on the WOR iog June 22: ``[WOR] Radio Cairo back on air --- I listen out for them every day. The last broadcast in any language was on June 16. It's unusual for them to be off air for such a long period. I sent an e-mail to their Propagation Department on June 21, asking whether they have abandoned short wave. I haven't received a reply yet, but I notice that today they are back again on 9410 at 1600 in Albanian. The distortion is still there accompanied by the usual loud hum. I will listen tonight to see if English reappears at 2115. [did it? missed checking here -gh] The second transmitter (no hum, but severe distortion) which was used for Turkish, Russian and French (9900, 9870 and 9810) has been off air for 7 weeks. [Later, at 1752: The second transmitter on tonight with Turkish at 1700 on 9900 after a long absence. Low level modulation with some distortion as before.] Recently, there were a number of consecutive days when the English programme was heard with perfect audio, but the transmitter hum made listening very tiring. With 9 transmitters on site, they must be able to fire up one of the others, or if not working, they could cannibalize them for spare parts for the two that are operational. It is likely that the technicians lack the expertise to undertake any serious repair work on their ageing transmitters. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GREECE [non]. 9420, June 16 at 1515, NO signal from VOG into UTwente, just VP Chinese. June 15 may have been VOG`s last day on air ever, after another reprieve expiring then. Not yet confirmed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2143) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, June 18 from *1459.8 c/on and soon s/on in English from V of Martyrs Korea and right into Dhivehi. Still going tho not checked lately, from secret site perhaps Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185, June 21 at 0636, XEPPM reactivated with music, S9+10. They had been awaiting a replacement part since last on air May 15 or 16. I had hoped they would build back better, but resumes undermodulation and slightly off-frequency at 6184.97. Believe this is first time back as I have been checking every night. Manuel Méndez, Spain, and Eric Fetters-Walp, Washington were also hearing it earlier this evening. Resumes being the only remaining active SWBC station in México or Central America: we must treasure it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185, June 22 at 0643, no signal from XEPPM --- but had reactivated yesterday. Off now because per Manuel Méndez, Spain, they signed off at 0502, which was the original schedule before they started staying on all night. Misleading ``100 kW`` power refers to day signal on MW 1060 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, June 16 at 0630, NO signal from VON Hausa. I usually check for it after 0600 but not heard in some weeks. Is it totally off? Sometimes it used to show on wrong frequency 9690- or 11770- but nothing theres either. Is anyone hearing it anytime? How about 1600-2100 on 11770 or even DRM 15120? June 16 at 1606, UTwente lox with difficulty to a very weak algo on 11770.005, probably as in EiBi until 1800, PBS Xinjiang, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2143) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, June 17 at 0609, again/still no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [non]. 11770-, June 18 at 1657, still nothing from VON; SDR in Canary Islands gets only a JBA carrier averaging 0.5 Hz minus, presumably Urumqi, standard denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, June 22 at 0644, still no signal from VON. Have not seen any reports of this nor 11770- for some weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Nearby beacon check June 18 at 1839 UT: 255 SW StillWater is still off; 515 PN PoNca City still on (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 97.5, June 21 at 0229 UT, ``Tulsa`s Rocklahoma station, 97-5, KMOD``. Per WTFDA, normal slogan is ``Tulsa`s Rock station``, but Rocklahoma music festival is coming Sept 2-4 near Pryor. Run across during bandscan for possible Es DX --- as I did several times June 20/UT 21 spurred by 100+ MHz MUFs here and there per DXMAP, but never any such DX making it here (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 7, June 19 circa 1500 UT, NO signal from KOCO ``5`` OKC - STB meter shows zero sig, not even a BAD bar. Off the air? Nothing about that on website, but who cares? if it can get into cable systems, or apps? Could be wiped out by DX QRM: no other 7s in OK per FCC TV Query, but two in KS are still on 7: KBSH Hayes, and KOAM Pittsburg. Tropo map shows KOAM in an enhanced area, but Enid barely on its edge. 1700 UT still no signal. 1809 now it`s back but BAD, not decoding fully or at all, same 1950. Reduced power? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 15170.060, June 20 at 0537, S4/S6 of JBA music maybe Qur`an. Only ``15170`` anywhen in EiBi is SBA Holy Qur`an Radio at 0300-0600, but which site not specified, blank. Aoki and WRTH show Riyadh (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. Re my log on 15170+, Ivan Zelenyi replies June 21 on HCDX: ``These are my little observations of the radio broadcasting of Saudi Arabia: on June 17 from 0400 UT at a frequency of 15170 kHz there was a program “Radio Saudi International” in Urdu. On the same day from 1600 on the frequency of 9885 kHz there was a program “Radio Saudi International” in Urdu. Also “Radio Saudi International” in Indonesian is received on 9675 kHz instead of Turkish programs. I have not heard programs in Pashto, Farsi, Tajik and Uzbek for a long time either`` --- thus it appears that its scheduling is very erratic or there have been major changes as yet not compiled. The 15170 broadcast was supposedly nothing but Arabic Qur`an 0300-0600. WRTH 2022 had Urdu only at 1200-1500 on 13775 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri June 17 at 2208, VG into Maryland SDR, token English from REE, Amy`s feature this time is about bottled spring water from Catalunya; pass (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, June 17 at 2210, V of Tuerkiye is S9+35/45 into UTwente, carrier offset +2 or 3 Hz, marred only by lite hum, but the main barriers to comprehension are the accents or indistinct enunciation by the announcers. Granted, they speak English a lot better than I speak Tuerkish; but. Something`s always awry at Ankara. At tune-in, long item about World Trade Organization, but 2215 outro as having been the News; a bit of music, then `Review of the Tuerkish Press`; 2217 `Analysis` about algo; 2221 beeps and music. 2225 `Feeling Supreme` subtitled `Healthy Life` about natural sources of ----??, the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. Many foods are listed including dark chocolate. The word is mentioned countless times, sounds like ``nassition``?? I finally guess he is trying to pronounce magnesium? Looking it up, skipping the gaseous elements, potassium is #4 while magnesium is #7. 2233 music, 2237 `Did You Know That?` by another accented announcer and I never get what, tho distracted by TV news. 2244 multi-lingual ID loop but unseems the usual complete spiel; more music; 2253 English schedule at sign-off, 2254 IS cut off air before quite completed once (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.007, June 20 at 2218, VOT S9+55 into UTwente, during talk about all the foods which supply magnesium - seems like same script I heard before, but better announcer pronouncing the chemical clearly. Yes, it`s `Healthy Life`, subset of `Feeling Supreme`, outro/intro at 2221, music. 2227, multi-lingual ID reel which seems to be a condensed/quicker version than before. 2234, qualifications for becoming a Tuerkish astronaut candidate. 2246, `Did You Know That` by YL announcer with so thick an accent she has no business on an ISWBC station in English, sorry. Seems to be about a Tuerkish connexion to a conductor of the London Academy of Ottoman Court Orchestra or something like that, who performed in Edinburgh. 2250, song. 2253, sign-off schedule to 2254.5* with a bit of IS. VG modulation as well as VG signal this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, June 16 at 0501, UR1 via WRMI, `Ukraine: Security Issue`, sounds like another repeat of the June 10 edition, by YL#1 but I missed the opening specifying Day 107 of Russia`s war. roger on the WOR iog points us to a website for U:SI specifically where with a few clix one may listen to the latest and previous editions, not only English, but Polish, Belarussian, Romanian, Slovak, Bulgarian, Russian but no other Western languages: http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/ua_security_issue (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2143) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, June 17 at 0500 via WRMI, UR1 `Ukraine: Security Issue` still repeating from six nights ago for Day 107 of the war. Meanwhile, I have caught up on all the missing editions thru June 17 = Day 114. http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/ua_security_issue Altho always in English, some of the other languages do not show every day, among: Polish, Belarussian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Slovak, Hungarian, Russian.

Followed Brit accent DJ at 1959 closing music show mentioning IRRS. NEXUS-IBA shows it was IPAR with `16 Gwendoline Street` from 1930. WOR 2143 also confirmed Sunday June 19 at 2230 still on WRMI 5950 but not on their schedule, S9 but with pulsing noisy into Knoxville TN SDR, clear S9+15/20 into Athens GA SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday June 20 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+15/20 into Athens GA SDR.

WORLD OF RADIO 2143 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday June 21 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+30 into Missouri SDR, at 0047 down to S9+10/20. BUT usual // 9455 playing classic rock music instead! Segués with only one brief nondescript DJ announcement at 0038 mentioning hits from year 1965, program unknown. 0100 switch to SMTV. This is a totally confusing situation. WRMI websked now dated June 18 at top now shows 00-01 on 9455 as deep purple System C, which otherwise pertains to VOA and R. Svoboda relays for/about Ukraine. But the C program grid does not show anything at this hour, rather System G still with WOR on both at 0030 UT Tue and Thu. So same situation presumably applies to same scheduling at 0030 UT Thursdays.

The never-correct web-sked shows 7490 finishing at 0300-0330 UT Tue-Sat with `Late Night in the Heartland` - that, or something else? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5129.978, UT Monday June 20 at 0335, WBCQ Radio Angela, `Concert Hall`, for a while has some ``bubbly`` QRM every few seconds into Maryland SDR, then clears. Opera soon interrupted abruptly for some poetry and other classical music fill until hourtop. Sorry, but during first hour from 0200, I needed to hear `Encore` on WRMI 5950, unfortunately simulscheduled but it was then first (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7730, June 18 at 0614, gospel huxter in English on WRMI: o yeah, the new NBCWO show on Sat only, leaving R. Tirana relay in English only for Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri/Sun. But is there a new program even produced on UT Sundays? Long ago when RT was a real SW station itself, they took Sundays off. I do wish that when committed to relay a daily or almost-daily service, it would not be bumped off part of the time; the other being Wed for RFPI Russian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 21525, June 20 at 2138, once again S4 open carrier, as WRMI-7 Radio Africa transmitter has not been turned off at scheduled 2100*. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5950, 4980 & 4975, June 22 at 0648, WRMI-8 and WRMI-4 are off the air --- but not an outage, rather deliberate schedule change per skedgrid now dated June 21: WRMI-4 still shown as 4980 but NO broadcasts for 24 hours; WRMI-8 on 5950 which had been 24h, is now shown 19-04 UT only. There may have been some other reduxions. This leaves TOMBS overnight with ONLY 5800, 5850, 7570, 7780, 9395, 9955 from WRMI; 6160- from WBCQ; 3215, 4840 when not dead air, 5890 from WWCR. Ten frequencies, o my! So hard to choose which ones to avoid. Well, eleven, including the WWCR leapfrog on 5980, several more if including the bonus 9955 spurs. 9455 WRMI still on with SMTV at 0648 but distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 15770, June 22 at 2129, no signal from WRMI-9, tho still scheduled 11-02 UT including VOA Flashpoint Ukraine at 1930 M-F. Elsewhere on 19m band, VOA Grimesland Bambara inbooming at S9+30; NZ 15720 also audible and 15825 WWCR JBA as usual without Es boost; altho K-index is 3. Also as usual, WRMI-7 Radio Africa 21525 is still a JBA carrier at 2124 despite nominal 2100*. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4840, June 16 at 0649, S9+20/30 of dead air as often on this frequency, while 3215, 5890 and 5935 succeed; no one paying attention at 1300 WWCR Avenue. Are they nevertheless billing for silence? Brother Scare is probably not listening either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9940, Sunday June 19 at 1723, WTWW active here, as seldom the case, gospel huxter ending, `Set? for Life`, S9+30; 9475 also on with SFAW, as tends to be the case Sundays only. But nothing on 5085 or 5830 which I know could be detected even at midday if active (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Tnx for tip from Richard Langley. Yes, WMLK is back. Altho suspicious carriers were heard as much as a week ago, now finally some definite modulation. Tuned 9275 June 17 at 2048, via Maryland remote, preacher in progress, S9+10/20 but noisy and shows +9/10 Hz carrier. Worse into UTwente, S5/S7 and noisy, plus 7/8 Hz. 2101 piano music and brief WMLK ID, no frequency but targeting Europe and ME. Restart another sermon by Elder Jacob O. Meyer himself - so another deadly station. Any novelty will soon wear off. It`s the ``Sacred Name Broadcast`` as this cult is obsessed with what to call their god, as if a deity would give a damn about such pickiness. AOY website https://assembliesofyahweh.com/ leads to a slightly outdated radio log of 10/2013 including WMLK may be off 9265 for maintenance or repairs. https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.29/7z8.0bd.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Radio-and-TV-Log.pdf Wonder if they are on full power and gain yet; if so, not very impressive. EJOM keeps rambling on about which religions are false, for the whole hour past 2123 check; improved by 2142, S9/+15 to UTwente. Nominal end is 2200 but still going at chex: 2201, 2208, 2222, but off by 2234. ID at 2203 ``You are listening to WMLK, Bethel, Pennsylvania, 9475 kHz; please stay tuned`` for yet more EJOM. I think he said 9475: I vaguely recall they may have been there before going way OOB, already in 2005 WRTH as on 9275. No matter what, we may expect them never to be on air Saturdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9275, June 20 at 1723, WMLK is on for their first official day of reactivation, scheduled 1700-2200. S9+10/25 into Maine SDR, +9 Hz offset; but hardly audible at PEI SDR which is never? any good. Sufficient S9+5/15 into Missouri. Boring talx presumably by dead EJOM himself, but a hymn break at 1852. AOY itself refers to Elder Jacob O Meyer by those initials. He died on April 9, 2010*, so yet another SW station which is back-to-the-past, nothing but a memorial to long-gone gospel huxter who unfortunately left a lot of recorded sermons, à la Brother Scare, Dead Gene Scott, the WJHR guy, Pastor Pete Peters, Tony Alámo, etc., etc., thus achieving a kind of immortality. Not only that, but not bothering to fix/edit ancient recordings when the frequency was ``9475`` as definitely announced at 1728 ID. It was last on 9275 before burning down. Here is one report on the fire of 22 March 2017: https://bclnews.blogspot.com/2017/04/fire-at-wmlk-9275.html?m=1 Some quick research finds PWBR *1991* listing it on *9465* only, for day and night. At other times it may have been on 9475 and 9265. So the Yahweh-God gets some more propaganda, but I doubt identically to that from Station YHWH and various other Yahweh sub-cults. O, what a petty deity they worship; a case of projexion? Another ID at 1858, then `The Open Door to the Living Word`, i.e. who else, EJOM. The WMLK page on disgraced FB does not yet show anything since June 17. And this link goes nowhere: https://wmlkradio.net/ A couple months late, FCC finally gets around to showing A-22 skeds: https://transition.fcc.gov/ib/sand/neg/hf_web/A22FCC01.TXT including: 9275 1700 2200 WMLK 300 53 27,28,39 123456 270322 291022 My NGS globe with geometer shows the 53 degree azimuth crosses the English Channel, Milan, Athens, Medina, so real close to The Holy Land. Reverse across SE USA close to Houston TX. At 1935, UTwente, also right near to the beam, lox onto 9275.006 but at S7/S8, nothing audible except storm crashing. But the K-index is 3. Despite all those previous years of experience, WMLK never seems to have grasped Propagation 101. Over a summer mostly-day path, they need to be on a higher band; and for the projected night path, on a lower band than 15150. Altho it may work somewhat into Europe at midsummer. At 2143 direct, I compare it to other nearby signals: 9275 WMLK, S6/S9. And off at 2204 recheck 9265 WINB, S5/S9 9330 WBCQ, S6/S9 9350 WWCR, S9+50! Also 9980. WWCR always bombs in here, 85 and 90 degree azimuths so directly off back of rhombix with extra lobes 9395 WRMI, S3/S7. So 300 kW WMLK is not so great thisaway. Bethel is so insignificant that it is not indexed in a regular Rand McNally atlas, but we find it between Harrisburg and Allentown, right on I-78, where I believe passersby have reported spotting WMLK. I imagine it would overload victim caradios; and how about the health hazard of all that RF on a busy interstate? Not to be confused with a Bethel Pk, near Pittsburgh PA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9275, June 22 at 2136, WMLK S7/S8 with gospel huxter, yawn; 300 kW?? Slightly weaker than 50 kW neighbor WINB 9265 at S6/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130, June 18 at 1840 UT quick check, KLEY Wellington KS is still dead air. Also there at night QRMing KWKH with a fast SAH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130, June 20 at 2155 UT, dead air as KLEY Wellington KS continues still off its rocker (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130, June 22 at 2122 UT check, KLEY Wellington KS still dead air on groundwave (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A. Sporadic E MUFs exceed 140 MHz in spots over N America, but several chex June 18 don`t get any of it here - until after 0000 UT June 19, when I try the hot caradio again with vertical fender antenna only, no RDS and no internet access in real time. Even so I get a few signals here and there only in the bottom half of the FM band. 93.3 at 0009, OKC stn fighting with DX CCI: ad sounds like Cali Customs, then Firefly Festival; 0010 ``#1 hit music station, Bob? 93-3``. 0012 ad for uqora.com/radio - fortunately they finally spelt it. 0013 Carolina mentioned. 0014 National Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep-Ram ad on highway 17 in Jaxonville. ``We`re jackin` this in Jaxonville``, more adstring; something about a national music request line in from several states, 0016 finally playing a song. I can`t imagine why anyone would voluntarily listen to a huge string of hardsell ads first --- other than for IDing DX! If one searches the WTFDA db on city only, spelt Jacksonville, wasting a lotta letters, one quickly learns that such a town exists not only in NC and FL but also TX, IL, AL, AR, OR, GA, each with one or many FM stations. But would you believe not a single one on 93.3? Must be a rimshotter so now I shall seek likely NCs or FLs nearby: None of the FLs nicknamed Bob. Here it is: WERO 93.3 WASHINGTON NC CONTEMPORARY HIT RADIO BOB 93.3 100.0 kW 543.0 m --- however, Wash & Jax are about 60 miles apart, hardly neighbors, but certainly within a common 100 kW coverage area. From Enid: 1873 km == 1164 miles. The Firefly music Festival might be a local reference? But it`s in Dover, Delaware, this September. There is no DE at all on 93.3 94.1 at 0017, Jaxonvil, North Carolina mentioned: must be this right up the coast at a little town of 900: WNBU 94.1 ORIENTAL NC GROOVIN OLDIES 94.1/97.9 11.0 kW 148.0 m --- 1915 km = 1190 mi 99.1 at 0018, K-LOVE. Oops, none in the Es area, rather KTLI 100 kW El Dorado KS, just NE of Wichita; had not noticed this before. Fades in and out quickly as if Es rather than dynamic 100-degree groundwave --- 182 km = 113 mi {could such a catch be backscatter, so really Es? No way to tell for sure? Is BS possible in such a situation?} 96.3 at 0020, far-right extremist talk show, caller blasts Biden. Show maybe called John Perry? Ad for My Pillow. Must be this in PTA, the only full power in NC, and aptly called! WRHT 96.3 MOREHEAD CITY NC TALK 96.3 100.0 kW 150.0 m --- 1918 km = 1192 mi 95.1 at 0023, ad for something in Hempstead on highway 17; Kia in Jaxonvil; 0025 store in High Point; Kysol? Palms. 0026 Lenoir County Public Schools congrats to grads; ``The Beast in the East, 95.1 WRNS`` --- so now there is no doubt about the slogan, as already heard a few days ago, but still not in WTFDA db: WRNS-FM 95.1 KINSTON NC COUNTRY YOUR COUNTRY 95.1 WRNS 100.0 kW 459.0 m Online at WRNS.com However, Hempstead or similar spelling does not check out for Kinston area, nor a hwy 17: maybe something else, but surely not LINY. Lenoir County does contain Kinston --- 1831 km = 1138 mi {do any white supremracists there realize that Lenoir means ``the black guy``?} 97.5 at 0027, K--- 97.5, creditrepair.com but voiced by local DJ? 1-800 number. Community Tax, 1-800-375-7841. 0030 still adstring, Ox Car Care, 800-736-##73. No match or specific location for Community Tax and the 800#. Ochs car rental or other car co`s in Missouri, Pennsylvania. But a hit on K 97.5 in NC:: WQOK 97.5 CARRBORO NC USA HD URBAN CONTEMPORARY K 97.5, HIP HOP & R&B 50.0 kW 146.0 m --- 1686 km = 1048 mi 94.5 at 0033, national requests at K-MAC?? Maybe program name. Maybe: WCMS-FM 94.5 HATTERAS NC COUNTRY BIG 94.5 FM 100.0 kW 299.0 m --- 2001 km = 1243 mi. At 0037 I belatedly install the big box fan in the back seat 92.1 at 0041, caterwauling, brief Es-like peak, whew 97.3 at 0044, silly puck game, Colorado Avalanche vs Tampa Bay somethings, appears to be ice hockey of all things; wild play-by-play from Ball Arena, which is in Denver. Score so far 3-0. WFLA 970 is home station of Tampa Lightning team; no 97.3 listed in its small network. If we are still in eastern NC, maybe altho not sports format, as this is a Big Deal Stanley Cup game: WMNX 97.3 WILMINGTON NC URBAN CONTEMPORARY COAST 97.3 100.0 kW 269.3 m --- 1821 km = 1132 mi 96.5 at 0052, about to quit as Es seem to have faded out, but among CCI here, some station invites visitors to its studio at 109 -- something street. Could just be one of the Okies? No, does not fit for KECO or KRAV. Could we get an ID just from that clue? No fit either for the only fullpower in NC, WFLB. I do quit and start researching this report with AC in shack, but DXMAP is still showing lots of Es even on 2 meter band!

Also, 2 x 3945 = 7890 at 0631 JBA vs HSNL, better than usual JBA carrier only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2143) ** VANUATU. 11835, June 17 at 0607, RV with Bislama talk, S6/S9; JBA carriers on 7890 and weaker 15780 but not 19725 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, June 18 at 0629, RV active tonight on 3 x 3945 with song at S9/+10, amazing signal for an accidental? harmonic. JBA carriers on the others, 7890 and 15780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 19 at 0559 tune in just in time to JBA signal to hear it cut off; I retune ASAP to 11835 and beat if there by a few seconds to cut on, probably only took them about 10 seconds to switch (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {why isn`t the same transmitter harmonicizing while on 7260? Or is no one looking for it on 14520, 21780? Or while on 5040 -> 10080, 15120, 20160?} ** VANUATU. 11835, June 21 at 0638, RV music, S5/S8 and JBA on 7890 = third and second harmonix of 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, June 22 at 0639, RV S7/S9 with drumming concluding the public-announcements segment, into a song; JBA on 7890, third and second harmonix of 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 10121.30 USB, June 22 at 0655, 2-way contacts. If hams, supposedly only Australia allows phone on this band; but certainly not in English, unrecognized language, so intruders?
