** ANGOLA. 4949.73, Dec 8 at 0520, RNA with Portuguese talk and music at S7
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Dec 8 at 1300, the Oklahoma Service (70 degrees from
Shepparton) of Radio Australia, with ABC News, leading with dispute between
South Australia and federal government over energy policy. 1306 right into YL
interviewing some English ballet dancer named Kevin, but no last name, and no
program title opening! At ``1300`` [sic] Thursdays is supposed to be
`Conversations with Richard Fidler` but Ann Jones is subbing, guest Kevin
O`Hare per
http://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/conversations-kevin-o'hare/8085540
12085, Dec 8 at 1400, RA with splatter from 12050 WEWN S9+40, 1405 `All in the
Mind` interview about ECPR ? emotional heart resuscitation, a guy who fought
his own psychosis:
http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/allinthemind/emotional-cpr/8077910
But there is no entry on the RA schedule for ``1400`` London Time Thursday.
In case you still haven`t heard, Radio Australia announced Dec 6 that ABC would
CLOSE DOWN SHORTWAVE as of January 31, 2017 (and also the NT Shower Service).
We`ve feared this terrible news after severe downsizing a few years ago, and
abrupt test outages earlier this year. This has led to a huge amount of
discussion, in the DXLD yg and other fora, even IRCA (mediumwave), rounded up
for the next DXLD 16-49. Via Mike Cooper, Here`s one place for the official
announcement about getting rid of ``outdated technology``:
https://www.radioinfo.com.au/news/abc-exits-shortwave-radio-transmission
``The move is in line with the national broadcaster's commitment to dispense
with outdated technology and to expand its digital content offerings including
DAB+ digital radio, online and mobile services, together with FM services for
international audiences`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1855, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 5035.013, Dec 7 at 0648, music and talk in Brazuguese, S9, so R.
Aparecida, better on LSB to avoid 5040 Cuba, and // JBA 9630+. Better than on
VP 6135.2, and 11855- (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 5964.96, Dec 8 at 0524, music at S8, presumed R. Transmundial, as
always reported off to the low side.
6059.76, Dec 8 at 0527 RHC is missing, uncovering S7 signal from algo, still in
clear at 0551, presumed SRDA Curitiba. Brazilians must be off-frequency,
nothing else likely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6060, Dec 8 at 0527, RHC English is AWOL, uncovering presumed Brasil,
q.v. Still on 6165, 6100, 6000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA. 7146v, 7175/7180/7185, Dec 6 at 0412, no VOBMEs audible, not even
carriers, whilst 7205 Sudan and 7120 Somaliland are audible. Sure wish we had a
definite schedule for VOBME, but apparently irregular, and wonder if they will
vanish again from 40 meters? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526.049, Dec 8 at 1246, JBA carrier from VOI, reactivated Dec 5
after several days off, slightly new frequency, ex 9525.9v, so is this a
different transmitter? Certainly no better than the old one as far as being too
weak, and undermodulated? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 6003, Dec 8 at 0712, noise jamming already audible, covering
Echo of Hope; 6015, Dec 8 at 0712, same noise jamming level here vs KBS-1.
These are also a bane much later around sunrise here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Dec 7 at 1856, tune in just in time for a few notes of
music before open carrier and off 1856.6*, i.e. MWV English APR from 1800 is
active today. Also on with S9+10 choral music at 2043 check, the other English
broadcast from 2000. You never know from one day to the next whether these will
appear. Dec 8: made it again, S9+20 at 1853 on 17640 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 4875.0, Dec 7 at 0221, VP signal from [Station YHWH], weaker
than het from Brasil 4875.1; tnx tip from Bob LaRose in CA. At least AF MARS is
not using 4875-USB at the moment. Joshua`s frequency selexions on 60m are not
so good. He`s also tried 4960 and 4920 lately.
4865.0, Dec 8 at 0402, [Station YHWH] is JBA here now, tnx tips from Tim Tromp
and Andy Robins in MI in the previous hour. And also heard by Ron Howard in CA
who says he was still on at 0410 but unreadable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 1855, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, Dec 8 at 0546 UT, KGYN Guymon with C&W tune, tear-in-beer,
NOT Xmasmx, despite appearing on a list of stations going all-Xmas, originating
in NRC DX News and quoted by Steve Whitt, UK in the MWCircle yg. Of course,
*some* Xmasmx could be playing but not all-out. And also KGYN is obviously
still violating its requirement to protect Philadelphia at night. Recheck at
1321 UT, ``Today`s Country 1210 KGYN`` ID, after 9-degree-F temp check
[official low was 2; now 20 in Enid] (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN [and non]. 15140, Dec 8 at 1516, S9+10 open carrier, really too strong
for RSO, but makes a slight SAH with JBA talk underneath, which is presumably
RSO in Arabic. Nothing else scheduled now; possibly CUBA which does not start
programming on 15140 until 1800, or an IBB GB test, or who knows? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Dec 7 at 0645, JBA carrier, presumed SIBC already
propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. 12035.039, Dec 8 at 1338, S9, VOT press review about oil
prices, in the clear, since 12050 WEWN splatterer is OFF! 1342 on to `Turkey`s
Cultural Centers` about Lake Van in eastern Turkey. It may be scenic, but the
largest lake in the country per Britannica.com is brackish and no good for
drinking or irrigation. By 1359, WEWN is on at S9+40, splattering upon Turkish
music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 7460, Dec 6 at 0411, S9+10 in unrecognized language, but
scheduled is VOA in Kinyarwanda via BOTSWANA. I was bandscanning for YHWH but
ran across this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1854 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday December 6 at
0030 on WBCQ, 9330.107v-CUSB, poor; also confirmed on WRMI, 7730, good. Also
confirmed Tue Dec 6 at 2130 on WRMI, 15770, good. Richard Lemke in Alberta
caught WOR at a new time on WRMI, 9955, Tue Dec 6 at 2300. It`s now been added
to their and our schedules. Also confirmed UT Wed Dec 7 after 0030 on WBCQ,
9330.084v-CUSB, JBA. Also confirmed Wed Dec 7 at 1438, the 1415.5 on WRMI 9955,
S9 with no jamming, but ACI from stronger S9+20 9960, which is Furusato no Kaze
via Palau from 1430. Also confirmed Wed Dec 7 at 2200 on WBCQ, 7490.04. Also
confirmed UT Thu Dec 8 at 0030 on WBCQ, 9330.070v-CUSB, poor.
WORLD OF RADIO 1855 monitoring: confirmed first SW airing Thursday December 8
at 1230 on WRMI, 9955, S9 atop pulse jamming, but ACI from 9950, which I
figured would also be Furusato no Kaze, but that doesn`t start until 1300 via
Taiwan. Now at 1215-1315 on 9950 it`s AIR 500 kW, 60 degrees from Bengaluru in
Burmese. By 1257, WORMI has improved to S9+20, further atop continuing Cuban
pulse jamming; Tnx a lot, Arnie! Next:

** U S A. 5850 // 7730, Tue Dec 6 at 0721, `World Music` on WRMI. Full hour is
now scheduled as such on 7730, Tue/Wed/Thu only, but several times we`ve heard
`Viva Miami` at 0700-0715 including on a Friday. But now also shows `Media
Network Plus` Fri 0700-0800 on 7730, new time. In no case, except Sundays, is
5850 shown as simulcasting 7730.
7780, BTW continues to AWOL at frequent nighttime chex, such as Dec 8 at 0533.
It`s still on the WRMI skedgrid for 22-12 UT, nothing but BS, and same
44-degree XMTR #3 at 12-22 UT on 15770, which IS still active, also nothing but
BS except 21-22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775; re my continuing obs that Mondays at 1500, Frecuencia al Dia
has appearing instead of Antena DX as on the KVOH schedule, still dated August,
Ray Robinson replies:
``Hi, Glenn. Antena DX used to be produced by V?ctor Guti?rrez in Panam?.
However, it went on summer break in July, and never came back in August. The
last I heard from V?ctor, he said his mixing console was damaged and he had no
money to repair or replace it. So, for the last few months, KVOH has been
carrying Frecuencia al D?a on both Fridays and Mondays. If Antena DX ever
returns, we will be happy to carry it again``
Well, `Antena DX` is still on the WRMI schedule several times, so are they
replaying last show from June, or really something else?
Mon 1130 5950

Tue 0030 5950

Axually WRMI has an `Antena DX` audiofile dated Dec 4. Also on the TGAV and
WBCQ SW schedules. This page explains the situation, that old shows are being
reissued until he can produce new ones again:

** U S A. 5830, Dec 6 at 0722, WTWW-1 SFAW modulation is breaking up; wiggle
that patchcord! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 12050, Dec 8 at 1338-1342, WEWN`s dirty Spanish transmitter
is off, uncovering a JBA carrier, presumably RFA Tibetan via KUWAIT, scheduled
this hour only (and/or ChiCom jamming). This is great for 12035 Voice of
Turkey, and 12085 Radio Australia [qq.vv.], but by 1359, WEWN is back on,
causing its usual damage from S9+40 fundamental (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 9275.039, Dec 8 at 1854, S9+10 carrier is on! Must be reactivated
WMLK, but JBM, not even enough to recognize the intonations of DEJOM, but who
else could it be? Have been tuning for it almost daily around this hour..
Time for another check of their FB and website for an update. BTW, I see their
address in Bethel PA is 190 Frantz Road, presumably not in honor of Dave at
WWRB.
``WMLK Radio December 5 at 8:47am ?
https://www.facebook.com/www.wmlkradio.net/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE&fref=nf
I have been holding back in updating those who are interested and concerned
with the outreach and status of WMLK Radio. The Engineer returned today
12/05/16. He was on an overseas mission and returned stateside on 11/14/16. He
was scheduled to return on 11/20/16 to begin upgrading and repair of the TX.
However, he was in a very terrible accident on the Friday (11/18/16) before his
scheduled return. Stopped at a red light he was hit from behind by a car at a
very high rate of speed. He was pushed into the car ahead of him, thus totaling
his car. By the grace of Almighty Yahweh he was unhurt but his car/conveyance
was completely destroyed. The Doctors wanted to keep him close and under
observation for a week plus to see if there would be any residual effects from
the accident!
He was cleared to return but he had to be flown up here instead of his usual
car trip. First no car, second to avoid fatigue until completely rested from
the accident, so the best choice that satisfies the doctors and family was to
fly him here! He is working as this update is being written! Praise Almighty
Yahweh for His mercy and loving kindness! Thank you for your patience!``

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been having trouble getting the radio
station online. Many hidden problems have been revealed during the past two
visits of our start-up engineer. It appeared that something is continually
shorting out the TX and causing it to trip the overload protection. These
overloads disengage the set when high voltage is applied, if there is a fault
in the system. We discovered that many components inside the set were shorting
the set to ground. These components were discovered by using sophisticated
equipment and a closer observation. The set contains a Crowbar protection
system and it is extremely sensitive to any kind of ground faults. This system
protects the tubes from being damaged should a problem arise in the electrical
system. The components that were shorting the set to ground, included air ducks
[sic], the glass cooling tube used in the vapor cooling system, and assorted
devices that are not non-conductive in electrical properties. Car
bon traces were observed on these components.
DSC00363.JPG Pic. 1. This is a non-conductive PVC unit. This where the air
cooling duct plugs in. Notice the arcing traces.
DSC00359.JPG Pic. 2. This is the Pyrex steam riser tube, notice the damage and
tracing on it. This glass steam riser was completely repaired, and one-half of
the Pyrex was replaced in the repair process.
DSC00357.JPG Pic. 3. This is the four inch air duct that supplies air for
cooling the capacitors and assorted parts. Notice the tracing on the end and
the physical damage from arc tracing. This is the PVC unit in the first picture
before removal from air duct. This air duct, along with others, were replaced.
Pic. 4. These are the components that were sent in for repair. Three Circuit
Boards and the Sine Wave Generator (large unit next to CBs).
The last two visits yielded these problems, and since then they have been
corrected. We have also added a water filtering purification system to make
sure the water that is going into cooling the tubes is the highest quality
possible. We have one more process to add to this system to ensure this
rigorous standard. We have overhauled many of the circuit cards by either
rebuilding them or replacing them since we began repair and reconstruction of
this set. We reconfigured and rewired many of the problems that we found.
Several cards were sent to be repaired by a professional organization.
Because of problems with our engineer?s health, he was ordered to take a three
month leave of absence which will be monitored by a physician. Two years ago,
during first week of November, he suffered a seizure which also involved a
blood clot in the brain that gave him a mild stroke. He was put on a six-month
medical leave of absence from his work place so he could recuperate from this
incident. He has been working for WMLK during his employment with Voice of
America whenever time permitted him to come to WMLK. He retired this year from
his employment and comes to WMLK when he can arrange it in his schedule.
Recently, his doctor put him on another three month leave of absence to make
adjustments in his medications and give him the rest that he needs to
recuperate his health even further.
Our Start-Up Engineer has commissioned (put into service) five of these type
units. He is dedicated to putting this station on the air. He will advise me
during him absence via telephone and messenger service. We are dedicated to
placing this station on the air.
In 1981 we started obtaining information to begin broadcasting the AOY
[Assemblies of Yahweh] message to the entire earth in a broader range. It was
decided that shortwave radio would and could fulfill Matthew 24:14 and
Revelation 14:6. We began this project at the end of 1981 and the station was
placed on the air in the spring of 1985. It took hard work and good support
from the brethren and co-workers of the AOY to make this project a reality. The
current set, as it stands, has been completed and is ready to be energized.
When the repaired parts (Yahweh Willing) are fixed and returned this should
become a reality. Remember all things are done according to His will and time
frame. We must be patient! Thank you for your prayers and support, financially
and through your verbal and written encouragements! Yahweh bless all of you!

It`s rather ironic that another Yahweh fan, ``Joshua`` all by himself in a
desert, manages to get on the air while WMLK cannot. I would dearly love to
witness a head-to-head debate between him and DEJOM, but hardly feasible (Glenn
