Tirana relay via WRMI is back in whack --- surprised to hear a YL ID for ``SonPower World Radio, from the studios of WRMI --- on 5850, 7455 and 9395`` --- but I am not sure of the first two unexpected frequencies, as could have said 5950, 9455. SonPower, you may recall, was the Rick Wiles thing subtitled TruNews that used to be on WRMI --- is he making a comeback, or was this just an old ID that surfaced somehow? Anyhow, neither SPR nor Tirana follows at 0230, rather World Music fill including some of the same tunes heard 24 hours ago, breaking for a canned Spanish ID at 0243, and now confirmed // 5950. 9955, Nov 10 at 1435, WRMI has some annoying QRM, not conventional jamming noise; rather, multi-tone whine co-channel, which fine-tuning with BFO seems to come from carriers about 292 Hz apart up to 1460 Hz, beating against each other and WRMI as I tune upwards, during Japanese-accented `Living the Bible`, still past 1502 with Blalock the Blaster. STILL same whine QRM to 9955 at quick 2242 recheck. 5950, Nov 11 at 0140, what`s going on WRMI UT Sunday? VOA News ending, Rudy ID in Spanish during Oldies stream, ``City of New Orleans``, but 9395 a JBA carrier cannot confirm //. At 0153 it`s in again and yes, // 5950. 0205 still Oldies on 5950, 9395 gone again. Further changes on the WRMI skedgrid as checked at 0530 UT Nov 11: 5950 with more RFI France relays: 07-08 Portuguese (ex-DW English via WRN), 18-19 Spanish, 19-20 French, 20-21 Portuguese; and already 00-01 English. Unspecified WRN relays on 5950 contract to: 05-07, 15-18, 21-24; and // 9395 at 22-23. Is the 06-07 hour from WRN still RFI English? What will happen when RFI drops its morning English? Also: 5010 now shown as System B // 9955 at 01-05. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7490, UT Sat Nov 10 from 0000, WBCQ with Tom instead of Allan Weiner, Worldwide. Over to John Carver`s summary: ``Show started on time this evening on 7490. Tom Barna is hosting the show again with Robert sitting in as sidekick. Show opens with music after Tom states that a lot of things have been going on this past week. Opening talk about Maine's new governor. A Democrat and the first female to ever hold the office. Apparently all that happened in Maine this past week as that's all they talked about to begin with. Several songs were played. Robert announced that a donor was paying to have the old episodes of The Hour of the Time show by Bill Cooper broadcast. It was also announced that Hal Turner would begin simulcasting his show on 7490 and 5130. There will be a special program from Germany broadcast on 5130 from one to five-thirty local time tomorrow. One airing only. Ramsey called at 0131. Brief talk about the old radio he was using to listen to the show tonight and then some comments on the election. Another phone call at 0141 from a caller asking if they could find a donor to pay to rerun the Amos and Andy show, Tom explained that they couldn't as Ed Bolton insisted that the tapes of the show be returned to him every three months or so and they had very few episodes in their archives. The caller stated that he has a lot of CDs that Ed Bolton had sent him years ago with a lot of episodes of the program. Said if he could make some money doing so, he would be willing to send the CDs to the station if a backer could be found. Tom said he would be in contact with him. Larry Will called at 0151 to say that he had a few episodes of Amos and Andy in his archives. No superstation news this evening. Show was off the air at 0200 in the middle of a song and 7490 also went off the air at this time. John Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5130, Sat Nov 10 at 1913, no signal from WBCQ, nor any expected way out here, 2721 km = 1690 statute miles from Monticello over a full-day path, during special booking from Universe Radio, Netherlands, as publicized for 18-22 UT today. Not checked again until 2229 when some JBA talk and music can be measured on 5130.159. Must be the other transmitter, rather than usual 5129.83 area. Still offset plus at 0147. WBCQ said that Universe would be extended to 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 17775, KVOH. Voice of Hope website still displays old program sked of September keyed to PDT --- Lacking any explicit answer about it from Ray, I want to confirm correct time for AWR Wavescan now, which had been Saturday 1500. Nov 10 at 1513, maybe a JBA carrier? Maybe not, as 1603 I still hear nothing; but 1627 recheck just in time, it`s faded up to poor S9-S8 for a couple words sounding like Jeff White, then classical piano music fill, so it seems WS is now starting at 1600. 1859 check: no signal, already off or faded out again? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085, Nov 10 at 1912, WTWW-2 is on `night` frequency, achieving S9+10 over a daytime megameter, playing `Popcorn` and presumably more classic rock; meanwhile 9475, WTWW-1, S9+20 in usual QSO ham show diverging from PPPP. 5085, Nov 11 at 0100 tune-in, WTWW-2 with `Theatre Organ in the Ozarx` running late as usual from timeshifted nominal 0030 UT Sunday; speech sounds OK but some distortion on the music; finally over at 0111 for Tedad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 0648 UT November 11 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
