** ALGERIA. 17600, Sept 11 at 2208, S2/S3 of secular-sounding Arabic talk, no doubt TDA, and the OSOB = only signal on band, since on Sunday 17855 Spain is already off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Sept 10 tuning Argentine remote from 1439, nothing yet. SDR thinx I am in Amarillo TX, IP confusion? Also Gary Pence in Dallas, someone in Hamburg. LRA36 cuts on air *1454 with sufficient S6/S7 music; 1502 canned standard sign-on with 4 languages, staff list, ``Nacional, la radio publica``. 1503 Esperanza themesong. 1507 historical bit mentioning Alasca and Groenlandia. 1511 song. 1515 ID ``su compañía``, then ``live`` YL chat. One of them is out sick. Not sure of program number mentioned but should have been #20; geo coords; Base founded 17 dic 1952. Mentions ``viernes, 9 de setiembre``, so the missing Wed 7 Sept broadcast must have been on Friday instead when I did not check for it, nor anyone? 1520 multi-platform contact info starting with phone numbers, too fast and not repeated: give us a break if you want contacts. 1521 birthday greeting to someone who has completed another year; 1523 song but chopped off air at 1524* and never comes back! Yet another transmitter failure, why? And why won`t/don`t they ever turn it back on? I wonder if it only be sporadic electrical fluid. Yes, it`s off: always a good idea to recheck the SDR in case it have been inadvertently knocked off frequency. Remotely possible they tried again circa 1800, as once publicized for Sats, but not checked until 1922, nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Sept 14 at 1450 nothing yet into Argentine remote, but LRA36 cuts on S4/S8 at *1452 amid musical prélude; 1500.5 standard opening with sign-on, 4-lingual warning that it`s in Spanish, 2022 cycle of Esperanza Audaz, staff names; 1502 Esperanza themesong I never tire of hearing; 1505 brief scripted almost poetic piece also about memorias; 1506 song with martial beat; 1511 ID with ``su compañía``, into live YL chat, intro as the 20th = vigésimo programa of the season; also mention 21st? maybe referring to next week. 1513 geo coordinates, date as 14 Sept, temp 1 degree, or low? was -6, winds from north at 20 kph gusting to 37; 1516 contact platform info; 1518 homage to some rock star; 1520 ID with ``Nacional, nos une``; this-week-in-history starting with something on Sept 11, 1888; International Chocolate Day, etc. 1527 song; 1531 ID, ``Nacional, nos une`` again; historical talk about Sarmiento in the 1800s; 1544 weather again; 1545 song now peaking at S9 but chopped off air at 1546.4*, never back by when I quit at 1611. Something`s always audacious at Antarctica (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 1010 kHz, Sept 14 at 0628 UT, adstring atop CCI, trying to hear any AC 904 or Jax refs from WJXL, but 0630 finally a ``NewsTalk 10-10`` ID, CFRB Toronto again. It seems one cannot find a pattern map thru FCC which merely linx to CRTC, but I again point out that per NRC Antenna Pattern Book, CFRB`s at night is very unfavorable thisaway, most of it going NE up, or down, the St. Lawrence. But Canadian AM stations are notorious for not `protecting` USA co-channels as supposedly licenced. Of course major competitor in the east is WINS NYC into Atlantic, never heard here; and KXEN Festus no longer matters but did protect CFRB. Aha, this https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=CFRB&service=AM&s=F&h=N shows a very different CFRB at night, considerable lobes to SW as well as NE, null toward WINS. I wonder what 1010 be like in mid-NY state. However, this shows coverage *area*, not pure antenna pattern, so obviously influenced by proximity to two Great Lakes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034 USB, Sept 14 at 2220-2224, CHR, Trenton Military robot uttering ``no report received`` over and over from: Bagotville, Trenton itself!, Ottawa, Toronto, 4 times in a row, restarting ``Terminal Forecast`` for a 5th run; then ID and timecheck, ``Aviation Weather``, nothing but NRRs for Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and repeating that once more before I quit. Obviously nohuman is paying attention. Let`s hope that Canadian Forces monitoring of, say, incoming ICBMs, be a bit more efficient. BTW, I often tune across no signal at all on 15034 and wonder if it`s even on air as much as ``required``. Likewise night channel 6754-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 13530, 13130, 13020, Sept 11 at 1457, JBA carriers, the usual trio if any from CNR1 jammers against Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 6017.012, Sept 11 at 0706, JBA music vs jamming bleed, from 6030? Presumably the lately reported pirate, which was already identified 5 months ago by Rafael Rodríguez R. as Organización Radial el Prado, in Palermo, Magdalena (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, Sept 9 at 0637, RHC English, S9/+10, again wrong frequency which should have closed in Spanish much earlier. 6165 is also still on at S9+30; and this time 5040 is also in English instead of usual Spanish, S9+20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6100 et al., Sunday Sept 11 at 0708, no signals from any RHC on 6 or 5 MHz, when Esperanto is supposed to air. A hopeless situation. The Sunday 1500 broadcast also must be missing, since at 1456 & 1500 chex, its only known frequencies, 11760 & 15140 are both OFF. Still on is 15230, VP undermodulated presumably Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Sept 11 at 2214, S6/S9 of dead air when RHC is supposed to be Frenching; 11850 Spanish is JBM with JBA plus/minus 10 kHz parasitic spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Unknown if English succeeded at 2300; a while ago someone reported 11880 in Spanish instead of French here after 2200. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, Sept 12 at 0607, RHC English S9+10/20 with humwhine; 6100, S9+20/30 JBM English; all others off including 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, Sept 14 at 0243, RHC S9/+10 of dead air in English, while 6000 is S9+20/30 of undermodulated English. At 0245, 11670 is also dead air at S7/S9, possibly would be English instead of correct Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Sept 14 at 0253, R. Rebelde is off; 5040 RHC is weak; 4765 R. Progreso S9+10/20 more or less normal, the 60-m situation in electricity-short Cuba where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 9 circa 2115, no signal direct from R. Cairo; nor any at 2200 check into UTwente, rather some loud clicking from something else. Something`s amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 10 at 2159, R. Cairo, S9+25/35 into UTwente but extremely distorted with humwhine, supposedly English. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT [non]. 9439.995, Sept 12 at 2203, NO signal from R. Cairo in English into UTwente, just that heavy loud clicking which must be something else. 9900v, which sometimes tries to carry Portuguese service, is also AWOL at 2255 check into UTwente, rather just Chinese. Something`s amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995v, Sept 13 at 2150, R. Cairo is back on air, S9+25 into UTwente, presumed English but totally extremely distorted. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.994, Sept 14 at 2230, R. Cairo, S9/+10 of humwhine only into Virginia SDR, no attempt at program modulation; at 2210 direct had been a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY [and non]. 9670, Sept 13 at 0613, pop music at S4/S6, presumably Channel 292, which most of the time propagates Brother HyStairical while pretending not to -- but this is not // 7570 TOMBS on WRMI, so what is sked now on `292? Specific program sked for this date and hour at https://www.channel292.de/schedule-9670-khz/ shows this in a block covering 0500-1000 on Sept 12-17: ``May be off air for some time due to maintenance work all week``. I do not measure them directly but note that 292 frequency matches RVM Brasil circa 9665, i.e. exactly same pitch het when tuned to 9664-USB and 9669-USB --- but something on 9675 presents a lower pitch, when tuned to 9674-USB: that would be a CNR1 non-jammer, more likely to be precisely on its frequency that 292 or RVM on theirs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846, Sept 8 at 0650, JBA carrier but marred by unusual music splash from 850 -- that is what led me to check 850, for KFUO or WQRM at night. See also USA: 850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846, Sept 9 at 0615, JBA carrier, from R. Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846, Sept 11 at 0646, no signal from R. Kiribati JBA carrier, tending to confirm Ron Howard`s suggestion that it may be silent on local Sunday nights. He could also not hear it this date. ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 13 at 0708, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati, and nothing else on 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 14 at 0621, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati and no other 9/kHz splits at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 6179.963, Sept 14 at 0246, JBM music, probably La Voz Alegre MWV most likely to be off-frequency, rather than CRI Russian via East Turkistan, std denunciation; nor RNA Brasil apparently off, leaving also a JBA carrier on 11780 which could be Romania in Spanish. RNA nominally until 0305* on both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, Sat Sept 10 at 1853 tune-in via Canary SDR, R. Mali, S7/S9+5, already in weekly English that I can scarcely understand, so heavy are the accents of the alternating W & M scriptreaders. Storm crashes from all over Morocco, some blaaps and running water QRM, some ACI from 5990 unless avoided. Finished 1906, French ID, music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 8 at 0623, VON is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 9 at 0643, VON is on, S9/+10 direct but undermodulated Hausa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 10 at 0646, VON is on; almost sounds like English intonation rather than Hausa, but too sleepy to concentrate. Might be something to do with EIIR*. 7255-, Sept 10 at 1853, no VON signal into Canary SDR. Not checked earlier but I suppose no English from 1630 today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 11 at 0624, VON is absent direct. 7255- also absent at 1744 into Canary SDR with heavy storm crashes only some JBA signal within a few Hz of 7255, probably China. But at 1753 has cut on at minus 67/68 Hz offset with some squeal vs talk about Nigeria in English at S9/+10, still heavy crashes all over Morocco, northern Algeria. 1824 recheck, off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 12 at 0608 check, VON is OFF. 7255-, Sept 12 at 1734, VON is ON, signature minus 66/69 Hz offset = 7254.934 to .931, English talk about Nigeria, hard to follow despite S9/+10 into Canary SDR, squeal, lots of storm noise from N Morocco into SE Spain and N Algeria; and 2ACI from 7265, much louder CRI Russian pontificating via Urumqi, East Turkistan, std denunciation. AMNarrow or LSB helps a bit but still squealy. Recheck at 1757, VON is OFF, supposed to run another hour in English and after that Fulfulde vs heavy ChiCom CCI not 2ACI. VON may be cutting off and on erratically should I have cared to keep on it. But by 1817 recheck, the H2Ofall is blank, as Peter, EA8BFK = DJ9PC must have recaptured it for his own hamming as per standard warning. 1907 it`s back, nothing but CRI Turkish, huge S9+10/25 and almost on-frequency. Hard to believe this be all the way from Kunming instead of E Turkistan. SDR location is the CI of Fuerteventura. Antenna is ``80m Loop`` -- measuring 80 metres, or peaking on the 80m band? It worx well anyway on 40m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 13 at 0627, VON is on, undermodulated S9/+10, think I heard the drumming IS go by once in passing, more Hausa. 7255-, Sept 13 at 1636, no VON signal yet into Canary Islands SDR on signature off-frequency 7254.93 or so, just noise instead of 1630-1900 English. Typically will cut on and off multiple times during that span. Next check, 1715, it`s on in English with squeal, S7/S9, VP hardly readable vs storm noise level, -67v Hz offset = 7254.933. Next check, 1821, OFF again! Are we to assume that VON are unable, or merely unwilling, to employ any of their other three long-listed frequencies? Evenings were on 11770, which ought to arrive better now; alternate 9690; all always offset-minus; and even DRM noise circa 15120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 14 at 0637, VON is on but poor S7/S9 undermodulated. Sept 14 at 1850 check via Canary SDR, it`s absent. 1857 huge S9+20 carrier from China cuts on prior to 1900 fanfare and Turkish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6920 USB, Sept 11 at 2220, rock music S5/S6.

Have caught them cheating before to KMOX` detriment. The pair make a fast SAH counted about 8 Hz. MWoffset shows 7 Hz, with KETU on 1119.9932, but that was in January 2019 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27185 approx., Sept. 10 at 1915 UT, undermodulated music and ``The Hawk`` ID, on SW caradio in motion in Enid; one of its memories is programmed for this CB channel. Once again, the pirate relay of 97.7 KHRK Hennessey -- only 3.9 kW ERP so needs some help? No, already blasts into nearby Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5 AM, Sept 11 at 2202, S8.5/S9 of JBM music but this time matchable to 95.7 KXLS ``Lahoma`` Enid, fourth known station local CB pirate has rebroadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5 AM, Sept 12 at 2150 UT, local Enid CB pirate is still relaying // KXLS 95.7, steady S9+22 at JBM level; why? No skip now or lately, but it ties up the channel (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Sept 10 circa 1850 UT on caradio a few blox W of downtown Enid, open carrier vs the two weaker stations in KS and OK: not unusual to encounter such a mystery, perhaps someone`s RF feeder in a car left on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, KOPX OKC, I`m looking for NEWSY on 62-7, morning of Sept 10, but it`s ShopLC instead! Whew, lineup has been rearranged with NEWSY still there but on 62-6. The complete octostation: 62-8, HSN 62-7, ShopLC 62-6, NEWSY 62-5, TruReal 62-4, Grit 62-3, CourTV 62-2, Bounce 62-1, ION So it seems the secondary ION channel has been eliminated. I was going to notify RabbitEars about this, but they already have it; maybe it has been at least a week since I last sought NEWSY. KOPX is fortunately among the OKC stations always available thru rooftop antenna, but not my rabbitears. NEWSY, at least, is anti-cable by design. Info: https://rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=kopx DA pattern has 8 equally spaced peaks and valleys around 360 degrees: Max 200 kW, Min 108.63, Avg 140.43; 1532 feet HAAT surely helps. https://rabbitears.info/pattern.php?request=ant_pat&ant_id=25076f916adca429016ae5a4803210e6&rotation=0&erp=200 My STB remembers when it was still on RF 50 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 27, KFOR-TV : see end of USA sexion: NBC ** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Sept 11 at 0710, JBA presumed SIBC, with 5025 Cuba absent, but carrier should still have been detectable. Martin Hadlow says SIBC is offering a special eQSL for correct reports on its 70th anniversary date Sept 23 only, on SW or MW 1035, to sibcnews@solomon.com.sb I have one from the original VQO long ago on 5960. 5020 hours are nominally 05-12 UT but Ron Howard often hears it for two or three hours later. Nominal daytime frequency until 0500, 9545, has not been reported for a long time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 9 at 2200, REE token English, to NAm VG into Maryland; Justin Coe previews feature will be his interview with bluesman Corey Harris, which starts at 2214. He must have a huge archive of such stuff from his Ruta 61 show. US 61 runs up the western edge of Mississippi east of the River, into Memphis; thence crosses over to west of River in Arkansas, all the way thru Missouri, Iowa, similar to I-55 as far as St. Louis. Crosses River from Dubuque into Wisconsin at its SW corner but soon back across into Minnesota as far as Twin Cities. It originally ran thru Duluth almost to the Canadian border, outmoded by I-35 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Sept 12 at 2200, token M/W/F English from REE, VG into Maryland SDR, no need to check three others but you never know whether some will be missing or defective. I`m mainly audioviewing BBC News, see UK [non], but at 2210 check the feature is about a flamenco artist, Rosalía, which seems vaguely familiar: there are a lot of reruns. But by 0028 check Sept 13, NO signal on 17855 into same; supposed to run until 0200* Tu-Sa. 11940 for S America is still VG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SWAZILAND. 11880, Sept 11 at 1458, S5/S6, TWR music box IS, ID seems axually to say ``ESwátini``, 1500 into language, listed Somali daily to 1530, Sundays -1545 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SWAZILAND [and non]. 9585, Sept 14 at 1454, music box IS and IDs, ``This is T-W-R, broadcasting from Eswátini``, 1455 opening presumed Malgache, S4/S6 via longpath.

Back here at 2228, `Feeling Supreme` is underway, natural remedies for head lice, but I`ve missed the first nine of twelve; the tenth is: garlic. Not a problem here, but attn all SWLs with head lice: you`ve got to listen to VOT! This will probably repeat eventually. After some musix, 2245-2249 another feature, `DYKT`, about a town on the Aegean with ``the most beautiful beach in the world``. She of the heavy accent mentions the name several times but never can I understand it, so does she ever spell it? Of course not! Something`s always awry at Ankara. Surely one could find on the web a roster of the thousands of beautiful beaches in the world with this atop it, #1, right? There has been some fading in the modulation, rather than signal level or propagation, it seems, but might be SDR reception artifact rather than transmission problem. Also considerable splatter from something on 9820 unless narrowed. Standard sign off and cut 2254* before any IS heard, let alone extra German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.001, Sept 13 at 2226, VOT is on via UTwente, heavily accented YL about Türkiye/Hellas relations.

Almost 640 Rs KIA, highest daily total so far, in all more then 51K. High alert along BR border. In Mariupol R continues preps for show trial of Azov defenders, also civilians. UN mission to arrive in a Donetsk village to investigate R attack. After 6 weeks, R returned body of British volunteer, tortured and murdered? body is mutilated, needs forensic investigation. Companion is still in captivity. US has evidence that Putin admin officials are in charge of occupied areas, war crime. Hundreds of thousands of Us deported to R. US SOS Blinken arrived in Kyiv, $2 billion aid package for U and neighbors in Europe announced.

R army still shelling along entire front line. More than 5500 civilians died, more than 8000 injured, probably much higher. NATO Secy-Genl says war is entering critical phase. NATO should be ready for long-term support. More than 80% of R`s land forces committed to U war. Putin resorting to energy blackmail of Europe, R increasingly isolated, trying to break will of allies.

However, on air announcements have been saying for only 30 days following the Last Night! Taking a look, #64 shows for 30 days from now, i.e. September 40 or about October 10, while #65 shows 359 days!

Saturday would have been the Last Night, the traditional celebration that concludes the eight-week classical music festival that takes place predominantly in the Royal Albert Hall. Although the Last Night has been modified in response to public events (the programme was changed in 1997 after the death of Diana Princess of Wales and in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks) this is the first time since the second world war that the final concert has not taken place at all. Thursday night’s concert – the first of two due to feature the Philadelphia Orchestra – was also called off only half an hour before the event. An announcement was made at 7 pm, and with much of the audience already arriving at the venue, the orchestra instead played the National Anthem and Elgar’s Nimrod. The Royal Box remained empty and the curtain behind the seats was closed as a mark of respect. Later that evening the BBC announced that the season’s two remaining Proms would also be cancelled “as a mark of respect”. Saturday’s Prom was to have featured soprano Lise Davidsen and cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason with Dalia Stasevska conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Many people on social media questioned the decision and saw it as a missed opportunity to use the Last Night as a musical tribute to the Queen. The event was due to be broadcast live on BBC Two and its second half on BBC One as well as on BBC Radio 3 and across the world.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non].

Maybe IRRS noticed my observation that 918 gets less QRM than 1323, so brought it back; but you never know. 918 into nearby Noale SDR at S9+22, while 1323 is generally below the CCI in German from Romania, worse than usual. Again, I monitor the whole hour: From 1755, 918 >> 1323, music of unknown origin. 1800 brief ``IRRS SW signing on`` and `Feature Story News`. As always, 7290 JIP late a bit before *1801. Guess what the only topic is, also for Spotlite segment at 1803; 1805 IRRS ID by YL still asserting totally wrong frequency 7125 long gone, plus 918 and recently added 1323; `UN News in Brief`. 1808 raucous music fill of unknown origin; 1813 `UN News in Brief` -- again? Wasn`t paying attn at 1805 whether same topix now. 1815 chop for a different IRRS plug/ID without frequencies, and WOR 2155 complete to 1844; at 1840 checked UTwente for 14580 = 2 x 7290 but not audible this time. 1844 bit of music, OM ID with Milan address; 1845 blues? music; 1848 unID DJ introduces an Irish jig, `The Cat`s Miaou`, no program name either. 7290 cuts off air already at 1855* instead of 1857. Back to 918, I find that still on but dead air, S9+22 of it. Shortly ID for AM Italia on 207 & 918 & 1323 kHz (kee-lo-hertz) by synth? YL. Never heard on 207 this hour nor for many weeks but does not mean it`s never on, tho I don`t see it reported in European MWDX clubs. `She` concludes with address info@amitalia.it, cute ESL ``Have a nice listening``; then a timecheck in Italian uncopied, music. Meanwhile on 1323 kHz the music has CCI and rumble; 1859 closing German announcement from Romania, tone. 918 remains much better as at 1901 they both play the Verdi closing theme of IRRS; yet neither MW frequency is going off the air now, and the SW is already long gone. Also confirmed Friday September 9 at 2052 the 2030 on AM Italia 1323 at S9+15 and rough; and much better 918 at S9+22, not 207. 1323 also has ACI from 1314 and less so from 1332. Both 918 & 1323 marred by storm noise from lightning right over NE Italy & vicinity. 2059 WOR finished, fragment of `Country Jamboree` opening, nexus.org ID, `Feature Story News`; 2108 song.

Why 253 degrees? I had not realized until tracking it on my NGS Globe with geometer, that it`s aimed right at Enid! Thus WLCR has been dedicated from the outset to convincing ME that the World is flat!! And incidentally that there is some wacky deity, ``Preparing for Yahuwah`s Earthly Kingdom, Established at Yahushua`s Imminent Return!`` -- Y & Y, what`s the diff? Guess I have not been paying attention, but ``don`t spell me Yahweh!``. Cf. WMLK and Station YHWH. Anyhow, no one is in a better position than I to divine whether 9330 be on the air or not during all those hours. 253 degrees also crosses near Detroit, out of USA east of El Paso, and out of Norteamérica across BCS. Eventually it hits Tahiti, and New Zealand. This is slightly beyond the nominal azimuth of all the ``classic`` WBCQ antennas, 245 degrees as in FCC, while 9330 has a wide variety of other angles registered, totally different from own current sked. Still nothing but 9330, no other imaginary frequencies contemplated as in original plan, since they still haven`t figured out how to QSY. For a while they were compensating for this by hiring some time elsewhere, still IDing as if WBCQ, but has anyone heard those lately: current HFCC shows Spaceline, Sofia, Bulgaria for Allan H Weiner: Perhaps only one at a time, or none: 07-12 13840 & 17520, 07-15 15780, all multilingual, daily, 250 kW at 156 degrees to CIRAFs 38,39,48,47E = NE, E and C Africa from Libya to Sudan to Kenya, and Turkey thru Arabian Peninsula, of course including Egypt HQ of the cosmetix magnate instigator, an alien who could not own a US SW station directly.

(7489.9v), Monday Sept 12 at 2259, WBCQ webcast of AW`s closing prayer ending an `AAAWWW` episode repeat is cut off by an AW canned ID, as the show always runs at least a bit overtime. I`m tuning in now to hear the first half of `UBMP` on its secret semi-repeat, as I often do 25 hours after original Sunday airing at 2200 when I am distracted by other audio/viewing --- but not any more! This time has finally been sold, for the first program of ``Living by the Sword`` from Gospel Gunslingers --- I kid you not: the confluence of deadly violence, The Second Amendment, and Christianity [gunshot SFX]: none of that ``other cheek`` crap: ``thou shalt murder thine enemies``. O, where`s that? Apparently plenty of Biblical references can be dredged along those lines, as I tune away in less than two minutes. Now the only alternative for `UBMP` is UT Sundays at 0300-0400 on Radio Angela 5130- only, where webcasting is banned; but it`s `billed` as original airing, with Sun 2200 on 7490-, the only and now final, repeat. But even on webcast, it`s never in $tereo.

However, Ivo Ivanov reports it in the morning before change to day frequency 12050: ``Very good signal of WEWN-3 Radio Católica Mundial in Spanish on 5970 kHz via Vandiver, September 13: https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2022/09/wewn-3-radio-catolica-mundial-on-5970_14.html 1200-1356 on 5970 EWN 100 kW / 160 deg to CeAm Spanish, instead of 00-14 UTC via SDR Boca Raton, FL in USA`` <3 minute clip implies it cut on air at 1200. But from his format you cannot tell whether he monitored the entire span, or just assumes it. BTW at this time there was a lot of English liturgy being translated, or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555 USB, Sept 11 at 1455, WJHR Milton FL is audible with gospel huxter peaking S8 vs noise level of S7. Normally inaudible here yet when others hear it, as we need some HF sporadic-E boost at its too-close distance, like now with 15825 WWCR inbooming instead of JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555-USB, Sept 13 at 1452, WJHR gospel huxter is JBA S7/S8 about the same as noise level. Per DXMAP, HF sporadic E MUF is barely reaching here between FL & OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15670-15675, Sept 13 at 1423, the hybrid unauthorized lower half of WINB beepery is VP S6/S7 while the upper half in DRM noise 15675-15680 is hardly distinguishable from band noise level. Recent new frequency scheduled 14-15 only M-F, then 15745-15755 at 15-17. Not clear why a change needed, nothing listed to QRM 15745-15755 before 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non]. 9940 & 9475 & 5830 & 5085, Sept 11 at 1504, NO WTWWs anywhere despite being Sunday morning prime churching time. JBA carrier however on 9940 which would be CNR1 jamming and/or RFA Mandarin via Kuwait, this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9940, Sept 14 at 0235, WTWW on here instead of 5830 with gospel huxterism, while 5085 is a-rockin. S9+30/40 with caller discussing weather in South Dakota ``this morning``, hard to tell if new or similar season decades ago from the Scriptures for America archive; then right into assertion that ``Satan has done a great job`` concerning 501C3s, the ``anti-Christ church`` and the good ole days of blue laws so you could not dine out after church Sundays. I guess it be the #1 programming if not the #1 transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 850, Sept 8 at 0650 UT, hymns mostly instrumental dominating on E/W longwire rather than KOA, but it`s soon audible underneath with C2CAM // unimpeded 840 WHAS. Slow SAH between them on 850, of 68/minute = 1.13 Hz. Surely this be my long-ago local in Clayton MO, KFUO, 5 kW daytimer but extended until Denver sunset, long passed now. Maybe missed a ToH 0700 ID when I was chasing Vanuatu on SW, but at 0701 still hymns. An announcement at 0715 but fading and uncopied, then choral hymn ``He Leadeth Me``. Then I DF it on DX-398 and get NE/SW, mutually nullable with KOA NW, close to right angle apart. Fits for KFUO, which does play a lot of Christian music. Only other possible REL in NRC AM Log is WQRM, 50 kW daytimer in Duluth MN, but apparently mostly talk. MWOffset measurements from 2021, 2020, 2019 resp.: KOA on 849.9987, KFUO on 850.0025, WQRM on 850.0001 --- that would make KOA and KFUO .0038 kHz apart or 3.8 Hz. But WQRM/KOA only .0014 kHz apart, much closer to my reading. Should be easy to compare when KFUO is legal, before official FCC Denver sunset in Sept, 0115 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 850, Sept 9 at 0112 UT, as planned, I am checking KFUO Clayton MO, the LCMS station, just before legal Denver sunset sign-off: hymn, 0114 cut to canned sign-off, and itself chopped off before finished at 0115* as transmitter turned off. Yet another station lacking the finesse of human operation, for ignorant, clumsy automation. Before off, compared with KOA on DX-398, from which not much signal yet, but I am not hearing the 1+ Hz SAH I was getting in the middle of last night with that Christian music unID. Anyhow KFUO is definitely off tonight, nor am I hearing any trace of WQRM Duluth which should have signed off earlier. The only SAH is a much faster one with unknown else. Nor at 0615 am I hearing anything but talk from KOA, altho poor, no musiQRM. And the KIRITIMATI carrier on 846, which draws me to this bandpart in first place is again JBA. As for the hymn heard last night, ``By his hand, he leadeth me``, I enjoy trying to Latinize stuff, so run that thru Google translate, resulting in: per manum suam adduxit me -- reverse: he led me by his hand That seems a bit cumbersome so I enter what I think it should be in Latin: manu suo me duxit is, for reverse translation, and get: He led me with his hand However, leadeth is present, not past tense, don`t you know? So what about, ``by his hand he leads me``? That can be boiled down to: me manu duxit But present tense ``he leads me`` is just: ducit me. ducit is the proper verb, indicative present tense, third person singular. Duxit is the same but indicative perfect, i.e.. past tense. https://latin.cactus2000.de/showverb.en.php?verb=ducere BTW, if you leave out the pronoun, you can hardly Capitalise it, deity-wise, an advantage of Latin (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 94.5, Sat Sept 10 at 1800 UT as I am driving around Enid and bandscanning, ``K-state Wildcats`` in and out. There are two possibilities: WIBW Topeka, but the one on that network is KSKL, per https://freefootballradio.com/kansasstate.html i.e. `Mix 94`, 100 kW, 93 m, Scott City, 335 km = 208 miles. Just a GW scatter fluke, no DX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. RF 27, KFOR-TV OKC ``4`` with premiere of `NBC News Daily`, Sept 12 at 1800 UT. This hour replaces the soapera `DOOL` which has been banished to Peacock after countless decades on real air. Opening gives time of 2 pm in the east, 11 am in the west, --- and 1 pm in St Louis!!! Incredible, a national coastal-based network acknowledging that there be anything such as a different timezone in the great Central US. Will they ever mention Denver, or Phœnix? Evidently it`s running live everywhere, rather than 3-hour delay to PDT, so must require some other program-juggling. This fortuitously coincides with EIIR* super-coverage destined to last at least another week, but by 1808 already moved on to T**** and many other topix. Some of same anchors, but no, not on MSNBC too. Let`s hope it continue to cover the news broadly with twice as much time M-F as `Nightly` which is airing before sundown in most of the country. At least here, confronts `The Talk` on CBS, and an hour after `GMA3` on ABC, hardly hard news there. NBC provides 1822 & 1852 cutaways used for local weather, hostessed by the very pregnant meteorologiste Emily Sutton: https://kfor.com/news/local/big-announcement-kfors-emily-sutton-is-expecting/ She`s also on the pre-sunrise shift, #2 only to Mike Morgan in primetime 4 pm+. Enid`s low this morning was 49, whew! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Reply to my last report: ``Glenn, not SW but FYI: `NBC News Daily` apparently has four live feeds starting at 16, 17, 18, And 19 UT. Stations can choose which one to air, regardless of location. The previous soap opera also had multiple feed options. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` --- hmm, does that mean each hour is different as news develops? Or mostly the same with different ``live`` timechex. What if a hot-news affiliate wanted to run it more than once? Of course, `Nightly` has long provided two feeds at 2230 & 2300 UT, for affiliate convenience, presumably the same unless news be really, really, breaking; and likely later ones for west coast. BTW, `not SW` is not a problem, as I and the WOR iog are open to much broader media coverage, ``above all, SW`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7932.055, Sept 8 at 0620, R. Vanuatu JBA direct vs CODAR; JBA carrier on 11898+. Second and third harmonix of untried 3966+ ex-3945. At 0657, 7932 off already. By 0702 Sept 8 after another frequency change, JBA talk and music on 8620.381 as discovered last night by Ron Howard, which is 2nd harmonic of 4310.190, JBA carrier at 0707. Also on X3 = 12930.6 approx. at 0705, JBA carrier vs high noise level. Nothing on X4 = 17241- at 0709. Contrary to wb`s assumption? Ron Howard hears from Bryan Clark that he has been in contact with Adrian Sainsbury still at RNZI, about these `rogue` frequencies from Vanuatu (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7932.05, Sept 9 at 0558 past 0600, R. Vanuatu still here vs CODAR on 2 x 3966+; better at 0635, inaudible on 3966; trace JBA carrier 11898+ vs huge Chinese on 11895. Cannot stay awake past 0700 QSY, but Gary Pence and Wolfgang Bueschel reconfirm 4310+, 8620+, 12930+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7932+, Sept 10 at 0647, R. Vanuatu still here, S6/S7 music on 2 x 3966; maybe a carrier trace thrice on 11898+ (Glenn Hauser, ** VANUATU. 7932+, Sept 11 at 0623, R. Vanuatu still audible here on 2 x 3966+ with music vs. CODAR. At 0659 it`s already switched to the other set: 8620.377, S2/S4; 12960.567, S2/S3; 4310.189, JBA. Each measured independently but very close harmonic matches (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7932+, Sept 12 at 0610, RV is S7/S8 vs CODAR, 2 x 3966+, back on Monday after silent Sunday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7932.05, Sept 13 at 0620, R. Vanuatu S5/S7, JBA talk vs always present CODAR, i.e. 2 x 3966+. Unfortunately still barely awake at 0709, JBA carrier on 8620+. So despite alleged help from NZ, RV is sticking to wacko schedule of two totally wrong frequencies and their harmonix, 3966+ and 4310+ switching at 0659/0700 --- while local listeners are surely wondering where it went - they might encounter 3966 if tuning around 3945 especially on analog radios, but not 4310 without a DXing mentality. Bryan Clark, NZ, wrote Sept 9: ```A follow up message from Adrian at RNZ Pacific regarding the Radio Vanuatu shortwave transmitter problems says, ``I heard months ago the company that made the TX has gone out of business. That raises the problem of spare parts plus no local technical expertise available. The solution will be very expensive and who knows if it will happen anytime soon.`` Regards, Bryan``` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7932+, Sept 14 at 0642, R. Vanuatu still here on 2 x 3966+, S4/S5 music vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 14 at 0301 finds 1044 kHz only. I was thinking that Spain was there but no more than 5 or 10 kW listed now; used to be 300 kW Morocco but inactive as of WRTH 2016. Biggest power now is 200 kW from much further Ethiopia, which should be on by now if not 24h, and today`s Mekele sunrise 0311 UT. 1044 still audible at 0340, when I`m not getting any Benin on 1476 or 1566, nor those at listed *0320. One more TA JBA carrier, tho, on 855 at 0341, axually sounds like two beating. SPAIN, RNE1 synchros are here, 300 and 50 kW and several less per WRTH 2022. A few months ago, several ``300`` kW RNE outlets were being powered down, but my follow-up that some of them were already listed at less than 300 was hardly noticed. Anyhow, I expect TA JBA carriers will be much less evident now on such as 585, 684, 738, 855. 774 used to be a good spot too but already only 100 kW max (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5900, Sept 8 at 0624 S9/+10 of Arabic?/ME music, 0630 announcement, chopped off at 0632*. Aoki has nothing but relays via Bulgaria at other times; EiBi some more but nothing listed at this hour. My guess: ALGERIA testing on yet another frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
