** ANTARCTICA [non]. Re: ``"I recorded the whole 30-minute version
using the U. Twente SDR receiver with good quality but it might take
me awhile to do a formal archiving. I?ll see if I can put it somewhere
temporarily tomorrow and then share the link."

A slightly different version for The Documentary Podcast. So, we have
three versions: the SW version transmitted to Antarctica, the version
that went out earlier on the BBC WS streams, and the podcast
version.
By the way, this year's program has special significance for us at the
University of New Brunswick, as one of my colleagues participated in
the Canadian science expedition to Antarctica on HMCS Mary Brooke
earlier this year and did some unprecedented mapping of part of the
ocean floor down there. He also visited Rothera.

** KOREA NORTH. 13649.93, June 23 at 1453, JBA carrier. Suspected UAE

that does not start until 1700. Closest to this time is VOK/KCBS until
1450 per Aoki & EiBi, certainly another one? with such capability

** U S A. 5830/6050, June 23 at 0213-0218, rough extent of splatter
out of WTWW 5920, during TOMBS, pinned on that rather than 5850 or
5890, by matching modulation peaks on a second receiver; takes some
doing vs high storm noise level out of west Texas, and/or Nebraska,
Minnesota. Worst of course closest to 5920. First peak noticed
5955-5965 area, then 5975-5990, trailing off above 6000, and then
traced downward to 5855 and the other side of WRMI 5850 to 5830 or so.
QRMed/blocked by non-spur signals such as 5850, 5890, 5935, without
which and HSNL it would probably be audible continually.?
The other WTWW not on 5085 tonight, and have not noticed it on for
several nights now. No word yet from George about what may be the
latest problem with that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15555 USB, June 23 at 1450, JBA talk in deceased
gospelhuxter style, and not on LSB, so WJHR Milton FL. I was about to
wonder if it were silent as not heard for a week or two in random
daytime bandscans, at 1449 about to conclude that, until straining to
hear it now. Can be much stronger if it get a sporadic E boost, which
one would expect more often this time of year. Minimum legal power is
50 kW, but it`s always been much less from a glorified ham rig. WRTH
2025 page 596 says: ``1 x 0.25 kW (run at 1 kW PEP)`` How does owner
George Scott Mock get away with that? ``Plans`` a 50 kW unit? Not in
the WOR Hitlist but WRTH says website is:
https://mytgibc.com/Missions.php i.e. ``True Gospel Independent
Baptist Church``:
``WJHR Radio is a short wave radio station that broadcasts the gospel
of Jesus Christ around the world. The station has received letters
from Russia, Italy, Germany and South America to just name a few. WJHR
broadcasts nothing but preaching 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The
station was built and is maintained by Brother Scott Mock who is a
faithful member of True Gospel Baptist for many years. If you would
like to support or desire more information you can contact Brother
Mock through the church or at the radio stations email address: WJHR@
usa.com`` - I don`t think it`s ever been 24/7! Aoki shows
1400-2200, EiBi 1358-2200. That website does not explain that WJHR is
a memorial to John Hill, who I think is the only preacher ever heard
on WJHR.
On Dec 31, *2008*, Benn Kobb reported to us:
``The applicant doing business as Hill Radio International is an
individual, Scott Mock, WB4BFO, who plans to broadcast from his
Milton, FL home.
He proposes to use a custom-built transmitter and a four-element
cubical quad antenna at 90 feet AGL. He told me that this
station, which he hopes to name WJHR, will broadcast exclusively
in single sideband.
Thus, to the FCC application question of "rated unmodulated
carrier power output", he answered "Zero". The stated emission
type is B8E.
He conceded that SSB broadcasting is unusual, but feels that
there are enough SSB-capable receivers now and that his content
will be compelling.
He said the station would be a commercial operation, but would be
funded mostly by "contributions from churches that support our
beliefs." The programming will come from a 40-year collection of
recordings made at Smyrna Baptist Church in Pensacola FL.
You will recall that this church received its own construction
permit for an HF station one year ago. There are several months
left before that CP expires, but it appears that it will not be
built and that WJHR is a new version of that project.
In the license application, where the applicant must outline his
"program plans and policies", Mr. Mock simply referred the FCC to
that earlier Smyrna file "to avoid duplication." Benn``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1460, June 23 at 0223, South Asian singing atop the pile
right now; equal on the N/S and E/W antenna implying it is not due any
of the cardinal direxions. NRC AM Log shows the only one with such
``Asian`` format is KBRZ Missouri City/Houston TX, U1 5000/125 from
the SSE; as this is not Vietnamese = KCLE Burleson/Cleburne TX and
besides was silent as of 4/24. Of the 62 UStations on this busy
`regional` channel, only one other is ``ethnic``, WBMS Brockton MA, 30
watts - I think not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Date and time omitted from this: 0153 UT June 22: 6861
approx., repetitive musicalish notes, no carrier, can`t get a fix to
resolve it in USB or LSB; pirate? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

It was probably a sports live coverage txion via UK/BBC/Merlin txs. Final
result of the football match was Ireland 1 vv Belgium 1
Could nicely listen to a tremendous signal on SW 6010 kHz and followed in
// seeing direct TV relay on DSF - 'German Sports Channel' on TV set
tonight. All SW txions stopped at 2129 UTC, despite RTE commercials and
commentary supplement were still in progress. After some sunspot
disturbance occured in the afternoon, and a lot of fluttery signals too
[see different item concerning unusual Indonesia reception at 1900 UTC on
19 mb here in EUR], reception improved during the Football match. Skelton-
UK 6010 kHz S=5+60 dB twisted the needle. Both adjacent channels free
this night.
7110 kHz obviously not used [at least not fr UK, likely used for AUS/PAC
coverage via Kranji Singapore site?] for this test match coverage.
Terrible 7110 kHz channel coverage here: CNR Beijing in French, TRT Ankara
in Turkish to NoAF, and RDP Lisbon in Portuguese too. No room for RTE
relay. At least, I heard nothing here in CeEUR. 9845 kHz and 9860 kHz
performing well too. But 9860 suffered by co-channel new CRI Urumchi
powerhouse. 9845 S=3-4, 9860 32332. (WB Oct 29, 1997)

RTE Radio 1 progr dealing with developing countries, will be relayed to
many regions of the world on SW. In association with the Irish Aid progr of
the Dept of Foreign Affairs, RTE has leased a number of high-power SW

possible in the developing world and to highlight for the wider audience
Ireland's contribution to various projects," says Julie Hayde of BCing

presumably delayed from 1730 like on WWCR. Still no info on site for this

Three mins of news by woman, concluding at 0133 with "News again at 7" --
not for the megalisteners to this freq -- are they oblivious of their SW

I am still pondering on the fact that from 0130-0200 the Irish are there

the devil is this, and for what ? . So far no answer.
No mystery here. This SW bc has been on the air for years. It's simply a
re-run of an earlier nx bc from RTE-1, branded as RTE R Worldwide. The Web
page is <http://www.rte.ie/radio/worldwide.html> which gives the following
schedule, to which I've added the tx sites:

a bottle of good wine that this has been decided by a RTE employee who has
a DRM receiver himself. Is the Africa coverage also in DRM?
2 Andy Sennitt September 5th, 2008 - 16:15 UTC As far I am aware, the
Africa coverage will be in analogue.
3 Paul Rawdon September 5th, 2008 - 19:26 UTC Will they be using their own
transmitters for shortwave of buying time off shore?
4 Andy Sennitt September 5th, 2008 - 20:25 UTC RTE does not have any
shortwave transmitters of its own. No doubt one of the shortwave
enthusiasts reading this will tell us what the sites are (ibid., dxld)
Automutilation. Unbelievable toy.

AUSTRALIA/SOUTH AFRICA 15400 The Sunday Sept.5th 2010
All Ireland final betweeen Clare and Kilkenny started at 1300 UT.
252LW is on air loud and
clear but 15400 kHz via Meyerton-AFS is only weak and under stronger co-
channel HCJB Australia.
(Noel R. Green-UK, dxld Sept 5, 2010
15400 I have only a faint signal from Meyerton, just barely sufficient
for making out what this should be. And nothing at all on LW 252 kHz, it
gets completely overriden by local noise. But then neither 252 nor RTE via
Meyerton are exotic anyway.
Btw, these RTE sports specials also used to include a DRM transmission to
Europe from a UK site. Not so anymore. But this could be a simple result
of a change of transmission providers/resellers, from what used to be
Merlin/VT-group{next year Babcock call BAB} to WRN.

11805 - Not heard
(Alokesh Gupta-IND, dxld Sept 5, 2010)
The reason why Alokesh is hearing RTE Meyerton 15400 kHz so well would
seem to be due to the azimuth in use being 19 degrees to East Africa and
onwards, while Kununurra is beaming at 340 degrees to East Asia.
The 19deg beam is not good for reception in Europe, while 340deg from KNX
seems to reach Germany and the UK well.
RTE-MEY 15445 kHz is a much better signal from 1430 UT at 330deg to West
Africa and peaking to 9+ on the meter.
BBC English via Ascension has taken over 15400 kHz from 1500 UT, and only
fair at 27deg. RTE-MEY via 11695 kHz at 19deg from 1500 UT is not
audible, and there is no trace of 7265 kHz either, so far.

15400 Instead of expected RTE Dublin live sports Meyerton-AFS relay, I
heard HCA Kununurra Australia's religious program in English only. 1300-
1330 UT, Sept 5th. English religious talk, poor S=7 fluttery signal.
At 1346 UT noted HCA Kununurra in Mandarin, scheduled 1330-1430 UT, fair
S=8 fluttery signal.
Very tiny weak signal UNDERNEATH, probably RTE Dublin sports transmission
via Meyerton AFS.

Here's the reply from RTE recvd last week regarding the txn dates ...
- Quote -
The Hurling final is on Sunday 5th September. This game is uniquely Irish
and is generally not known very well outside the Irish community. The game
is played with a small leather ball and is hit by wooden sticks called
'hurleys' about the same length as hockey sticks but much different in
shape.
For better images and information try <http://www.gaa.ie>
The Gaelic football final is on Sunday 19th September. This game is also
an Irish variation, not related to soccer or rugby, but uses a big ball
like a soccer ball.
Best wishes, Sean.

IRELAND [and non, SOUTH AFRICA/U.K.] . Chuck Albertson explains why I
was hearing football already in the second half at 1327 UT on Sept 21 on
17820 kHz via Meyerton, South Africa site:
"Glenn, The RT+ special today was the All-Ireland Senior Football
Championship, between Kerry and Donegal, which didn't start until 1430 (I
was watching the match at an Irish pub downtown). What you heard earlier
was the minors match, also between Kerry and Donegal (by coincidence).
Kerry teams won both championships.
Next week's special will be the All-Ireland Hurling Championship, starting
at 1600 UT on Saturday [Sept 27]. It's a replay, as the two teams
(Kilkenny and Tipperary) played to a draw in the championship match two
weeks ago. Don't think there will be a supporting match, as Clare won the
under-21 hurling championship last week. Chuck Albertson, Seattle"
BTW, news has just broken that RT+ will be closing down LW 252 kHz on Oct
27

Subject: [HCDX] A historical question
I continue to digitize my cassette collection (the oldest I've found so far
dates to 1979, but there are older ones, I'm sure). Today's question: One
tape is labelled 1/1996 RTE. It's in English. I don't have an older WRTH
available than 2000 here at the condo. I suspect that this was via a N
American relay. The date of transmission was 7 January 1996 (as per the
sports reports). Was this via WWCR on 12160 at 2000? That's what is
suggested in the 2000 WRTH. I do recall special broadcasts from RTE on SW
relays, but not the regular programming. Thanks for the help! 73, Walt

Kharkhani,located in Jamshid, is the fastest place humans have ever lived, with

three inthe sky, which are used for uranium enrichment using water from the
sun. In theNetherlands, 410 centrifuges were advanced in late 2022, the largest
in thecountry. Iranian centrifuges were used to combine photon code for three
nuclearprograms in 2010. Another underground facility is being built under
MountKolangazla, south of the Netherlands. The Fordow enrichment plant has been
inoperation for some time, but the site has been closed and is currently
underconstruction. In 2011, Iran launched a program to halt uranium
enrichmentoperations in the dam, which began in the 27th year of the Imam
Khomeiniperiod. There are reports of a fictional reactor in the Middle East,

course, it is the nightmiddle there. Chopoff at 2259.7* during music.
Yes, as now scheduled via Woofferton, per HFCC 1900-2300, 250 kW 90
degrees due east, so we are not directly off the back. 12035 is also
via DHA, UAE site at 04-07 & 13-17 with 250 kW at 35 degrees from
there.?
Kuwait should have been the preferred SW site if Trump had not forced
it to close - almost? Monthly update from Association for
International Broadcasting June 23: ``Meanwhile there's news about
transmitting stations owned by the US Agency for Global Media. The
relay station in Kuwait that was closed down in early June has been
reactivated to allow 15 minutes of VoA {sic} Persian to be broadcast
to Iran and neighbouring countries. It is unclear who is operating the
station as the AIB understands a "manager" had been sent to Kuwait
(presumably from Washington DC) to close the operation.``
To which I replied: ``15 minutes? Why bother? Time and frequency?
source? Not in HFCC as of June 23. Of course we know that R Farda is
back on air 24h via UAE, Woofferton. From what studio, Washington,

** U S A. 5129.9, June 24 at 0126 JBA signal vs HSNL must be WBCQ,
which per own websked is not on the air at all on UT Tuesday!! At 0158
I check Maryland SDR, and hear Hal Turner wrapping up with a
gold/silver commercial, whilst 6160- is off the air, but // 7490-. But
by 0200, 5130- is playing the generic WBCQ s/off. Evidently Turner has
been moved from 6160 to 5130. Why doesn`t the sked show this
correctly? Not that I care to hear him anywhere (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 7505, 9275, 5085, June 24 at 0130, these stations are NOT on
the air when they are scheduled to be: WRNO, WMLK, WTWW (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9930, June 24 at 0128, TOMBS on WTWW is S9+40/50 direct,
with JBA spur parasites plus/minus about 12.8 instead of 12.9 kHz,
i.e. 9917.2 & 9942.8; but no splatter despite huge signal on
fundamental. Continuing bandscan, by 0132 I find 5920 is on instead of
9930: is 0130 now the nominal QSY time? How old is this nonsense from
Brother Hystairical? He happened to mention ``today, 7/31/08`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
