** BRAZIL. 11780, June 15 at 1939, S2-S3 yelling in Brazuguese, so RNA is on earlier than usual *2100v. Maybe a silly ballgame from Russia? No problem, no signal from 11775 adjacent Anguilla (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9180, June 15 at 1227, CNR1 song, and 2 seconds ahead of // 11500. Aoki/NDXC shows both as *jammed Sound of Hope, Taiwan frequencies: 11499.933 and 9180.018 exactly. I can tell there is a second carrier on 9180 making a slight beat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE. 11730, June 15 at 0540, NHK French via Issoudun is clear, no buzz! At S5-S9, just with some ACI from much stronger 11725 RNZI. Perhaps TDF saw my scathing comments in previous June 13 log? Or just a fluke? Time will tell (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, June 15 at 1430 UT, K17JN-D, 3ABN satellator, Enid, is off the air again. RF 23, June 15 at 1430 UT, KSBI ``52`` OKC, is still low-powered not breaking into decoding via my antennas, ``bad`` signal bar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 88.3, K202BY, Family Radio satellator in Enid is still left-channel only in semi-stereo, June 15 at 2305 UT check. 94.3, KLGB-LP, Enid, however, has resumed full stereo for its gospel rock music (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAIWAN. 11985, June 15 at 1224, pop song in Chinese?, VG S9+20, and not // 11500 et al. CNR1 jamming, so 11985 is really RTI during this hour. Listening closely during a low passage or pause, I can also hear CNR1 underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U A E [and non]. 15640, June 15 at 1929, poor music, but cuts off at 1929.5*. Aoki/NDXC shows 1900-1930 M-F is VOA Tigrinya via UAE. The primary language for Ethiopia, Amharic at 1800-1900 is daily on 15640 but via Woofferton, UK. Also tacked on before that on weekdays at 1730-1800 is Oromo, also Woofferton. Not much activity on band, but RRI Spanish continues weakly on 15670 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7570, June 15 at 0129, surprised to find this WRMIBS frequency off, but tuning back across at 0130, it`s back on. No telling how long it had been off. Meanwhile TOMBS on 7730 continued unabated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. 5950, June 15 at 0549, WRMI is S9+10 of dead air. It seems this is happening more and more; computer automation uncoöperative? Also, how is Voice of Tigray Revolution, Ethiopia, doing on 5950 vs WRMI from 0255? The only other nighttime competitor per Aoki/NDXC is Iran in Tajik at 0050-0220. But it also attempts to show every single program on WRMI 5950, including the long-deleted World of Radio Wednesdays at 1415! That was the winter timing when it was on 9955 and consequently duplicated on 9455 before that was replaced by 5950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. (7490), UT Sat June 16 from 0000, I monitor the first semihour of `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, on webcast. Notes from his monolog: quadri-casting again tonight, 7490, 9330, 5130 and experimentally on 3265. 3265 is on aux transmitter as main one is down while the plenum is being redesigned. Very old fibreglass in the plenum becomes explosive, as they learned when previous transmitters burned up. Replacement transmitter is in place but not ready for use yet. 3265 is #5 transmitter. The super-station 500 kW transmitter: looks like it will be a year from now before it is on air; due to various delays by vendors, etc., and cost overruns. (Despite detailed 24/7 language schedule on 9330 already publicized effective S-18 in September.) It`s designated #6 transmitter, for World`s Last Chance ministry; much like The Overcomer. #6 will be ``pretty much exclusive`` for them but also some time for other WBCQ programs. 250 WLC programs are already in the can, good stuff, hi-quality bible teaching in multiple languages. Allan emphasizes that he wants the 500 kW to be available to the US government in case of national emergency. As Dr Becker says, ``no guerrilla engineering`` on this one; everything is being done professionally, by the book. There are other 500 kW SW in USA, but at reduced power, and to fixed antennas. This will be the only rotatable antenna in USA, capable of aiming anywhere in the world. W.L.C. is paying for it, but will be owned and licensed to Allan. WBCQ is one of the most X-rated broadcast stations in the world, e.g. Johnny Lightning, but AW likes it that way in service of Free Speech. Asks someone off mike what the 9 pm (0100 UT) special on 5130 is? Haiko(??) Music from Germany. Must be sure to switch programming on that frequency when the time comes. FM translator of the AM 780 will be on 98.3 with 200 watts, on 400 foot tower. At 0030 he starts praising Trump and Jesus, so on to other things here; recheck webcast at 0118, he`s still going, advocating legal pot, but finished before 0130 when Blalock is Blasting. Now to John H Carver, Jr., for his version: ``Show started on time this evening. Listening on 7490. Again they're broadcasting on 7490, 5130, 9330 and 3265. 5130 will be leaving AWWW at 9:00 for a new European music program. 3265 is on its backup transmitter this evening as there are still some problems with the plenum on the original transmitter. They've been doing general work this week on the other transmitters. Replacing tubes, tightening bolts etc. The WRUL transmitter from WRMI is in place in the transmitter [space] but still needs a total rebuild and Allan and Tim will be working on that as time permits. Allan mentioned that there may be room on the super station for other WBCQ programs but not completely sure about that. He stated again that the government could have access to the super station in case of natural disaster or national security. Allan, Angela and Robert in the studio this evening. Robert is there for the changeover of 5130 at nine. Some talk of wanting to get President Trump up to the station for the dedication of the super station but Allan admitted that it was very unlikely. Also some comments about new programmers calling to inquire about rates and such including a man that wants to do a business oriented program. Then Allan stated he would have control over what was broadcast over the new super station and that the flat earthers would be paying a fee to broadcast over WBCQ. Strange statement out of left field. [I don`t think AW himself refers to his benefactors as flat-earthers – gh] Talk again about AM and FM radio continuing the discussion from last week and this theme would pop up throughout the rest of the show. Also talk about a four hour visit by two old radio engineers this week and how Allan gave them the tour of the facilities, both old and new. Allan also stated that if the electric bill didn't stop increasing he might be forced to shut some transmitters off. Confusing based upon his earlier statement about the flat earthers paying a fee to broadcast. This writer was under the impression that the new client would be paying the power bill for the super station. Rapidly changing gears, the talk turned to all the gardens that Angela had been installing around the station, mostly flower gardens. Reading of emails at 0057. Also some highlights from the Free Radio Weekly. Dave from Indiana on the phone at 0102 talking about the drug problem and vets not being able to get the pain killers they needed because of this which prompted Allan to restate his position of legalizing all drugs. Another phone call at 0110 from a man in the drug business continuing the discussion of this problem. After the closing prayer show was off the air at 0123. Almost like the old days of AWWW. John Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7505V, June 15 at 0130, WRNO still not with Rick Wiles, but wrapup of `A Time to Dream` gospel huxter. 0131 long dead air with some hum until 0134 starts another g.h., Pastor Ray, citing Joshua VI: 12-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0354 UT June 16 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
