Hi Tony,
Vientiane Laos has certainly done QRT before 13.30 UT.
At 13.30 UT only the channel request owner China was on the frequency.
CHN PBS Xizang, Lhasa Baiding bcast center site in Tibetan,
S=9+15dB in Hiroshima Japan heard remotedly.
S=9+30dB in Delhi India Perseus unit
on exact even 6130.000 kHz.

** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, Friday August 7 just as I tune in RTA via
FRANCE via UTwente SDR, at 1827.5 English segment is starting, about a
female singer named Aishi(?). Good -60-70 dBm with self-QRM only from
the beeping. 1832 switches to general info about that American style
of music, jazz, with clips of ``Lewis`` Armstrong in ``Wonderful
World`` and ``Hello, Dolly``, and others from New Orleans. 1837.5 just
music. 1838.5 into Spanish, `Africa Hoy` about the Gran Museo in
Egypt. 1849 French ID as R. Algerie Internationale, music; 1851.5
brief Qur`an reminding God that it is Great; 1854 bit of Arabic talk,
pop music to 1859* chopoff. Maybe the Q was for vespers as Algiers LSS
was 1848, close enough? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. Correxion: the offset from 11780 to 11731 and 11829 is 49
not 39 kHz; fixed:
11731 and weaker 11829 approx., August 6 at 2346 suspicious blobs with
no readable modulation, but they happen to be ~49 kHz equidistant
from: 11780 RNA which is S9+20/30 and distorted; it has
been a spur-producer before. The lower one QRMs Romania in Spanish on
11730. Then I try to detect them on some S and N American SDRs but
cannot; even at Braslia 11780 is not very strong by groundwave (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 7730, Aug 7 at 1332, CNR1 jammer at S4-S6, confirmed as such
by // 13130 et al., shortly. Aoki shows SOH & jamming up to 24h on
7730, Mandarin except for diversion to the Cantonese hour at 15-16.
Still seems odd for anything but WRMI to be heard here. Fortunately,
when it is on evening and night, we never have any QRM.
CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 7 at 1336, mostly JBA to JBA carriers except
here S-ed: 13130 S5-S8, 13020, 12500, 12190 S7-S9 vs CODAR;
1341: 13835 with self-echo from two and // the WOOBs as CNR1; 14850;
11460, 11440.
1346: 11170 S4-S6, 11150, 11070, 10820 S2-S5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY. At 1650 this Friday August 7, I remember that Uncle Bill`s
shows are now scheduled on 9670 from Channel 292, Germany, 16-18 UT
--- UTwente and e.g. Lisbon SDR have nothing but JBA carriers. At
least there is no CCI or ACI. By 1742 some music audible at both,
better at UTwente, but vs lots of noise level. UTw improving, -75 to
-85 dBm. 1750: at UTwente: Seems more splash from faroff 9685 Urumqi
bigsig than from 9665 Pyongyang. As I posted step by step on the WOR
iogroup. Bill Tilford replies:
``Thanks Glenn, We're going to give this one more try next week just
to exclude a bad day at ionosphere rock, if the results are similar
we'll then test a few hours later. We will be keeping our
transmissions on 6070 either way, this is a possible addition rather
than a substitute. --Bill``
Just now saw this at 2220 -- checking 9670 on UTwente, nothin but
noise. Glenn
``NEWS FLASH - REPEAT TEST OF 9670 TONITE!!
After conferring with Channel 292, we are going to do repeat tests of
9670 kHz tonite as follows:
2100-2200 UTC - From the Isle of Music
2300-0000 UTC - Uncle Bill's Melting Pot
Another program, Radio Waves International, will be in the middle at
2200-2300. Next week there will be a repeat test from 1600-1800 to
rule out propagation and/or technical anomalies.

At 2325, 9670 at UTwente still nothing but noise, skipover late at
night. At Maine SDR, music S4-S6 still noisy. Somewhat listenable.
At OK, JBA carrier at 2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6935-USB, August 8 at 0104, song of some sort,
checked on a Rochester remote after tip in FRW that Radio Nova would
be here from 0030 for almost an hour. Poor noisy signal and fading by

** TURKEY. 9830, Friday August 7 at 2202 NO signal from VOT English
checked at TWR/DR SDR, nothing but NSS RTTY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7780, August 7 at 2156, JBA signal signifies that WRMI-1 is
finally back on air after a few days missing. Now I check WRMI FB:
``WRMI Radio Miami International
Yesterday at 11:44 AM ? [EDT? August 6]
Dear WRMI Listeners: Earlier this week we experienced a severe
thunderstorm in the area of our transmitter site in Okeechobee (just
after Hurricane Isaias passed by). Our power lines were affected by
the storm. We did not lose power fortunately, but there was a power
surge which blew out some lights in our building and also blew out
some parts in our Transmitter #1 which operates on 7780 kHz. Our
engineers have been working on this for a few days now and have
replaced a number of components in the transmitter, but it still needs
more work to get it back on the air. In the meantime, we are
broadcasting all of our programs that are normally on 7780 kHz from
2000-0200 UTC on the alternate frequency of 15770 kHz. (This is
another one of our regular frequencies.) Both of these frequencies are
on antennas directed at 44 degrees. We will air these programs on
15770 kHz until we get the 7780 kHz transmitter back on the air, which
we hope will be tomorrow Friday August 7.
We are very sorry for this situation, but our engineers are working as
quickly as possible to get 7780 kHz back on the air. This transmitter
is normally on the air 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and has
been on this schedule for over a year now, so it really needs a bit of
downtime for technical maintenance. Thanks for your understanding.``
``WRMI Radio Miami International
5 hrs ? [ago as of 2340 UT Aug 7]
Good news! 7780 kHz is back on the air. Our engineers Don Frish and
Harry Robbins have been working on this for a few days now, and it's
back in operation. Thanks for your patience everybody``
While I`m on disgraced FB, any other news from WRMI? Yes:
``WRMI Radio Miami International ? July 14 ?
Longtime listeners to WYFR shortwave (the station that was here before
WRMI took over in 2013) may remember Evelyn Marcy, who was for many
years the assistant to Dan Elyea, the WYFR Station Manager. We are
sorry to report that Evelyn passed away this morning due to
complications from an operation. A number of Marcy family members have
worked at WYFR and/or WRMI, including Evelyn's husband Ed and her sons
Scott and Todd. Scott currently works as a control room operator at
WRMI. Below is a photo of Scott and Evelyn at one of our WRMI
Christmas parties.``

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Aug 8 at 0000, WBCQ webcast starting
`AAAWWW` with traditional version of ``WTO``; interjecting that ``its
time to get nasty``. Starting topix are: radio matters: early history
of ham and broadcasting 100+ years ago; the AT&T/Bell phone monopoly;
0022 lamenting living in a credit economy; 0023 call from Mr Mike in
Massachusetts that the Near-Fest for October has been cancelled ---
hamfest in NH, I think, morphing into COVID-19 discussion past 0030.
0039 AW says they are ``quadri-casting` on 7490, 6160, 5130 and 3265,
so I check them on the Rockport, Maine remote and indeed they can all
be heard well enough, so I listen on 3265 for a while till it cuts me
off. Exact frequencies not measured. More phone calls: 0040 from
Ramsey, not heard from in a long time; 0046 Kevin in Ohio, first-time
caller but long-time listener; is a fan of Ken Durchinsky(?) the
preacher just before on 7490 who thinx WINB is on 9625, and also of
Hal Turner just after AAAWWW; 0050 from Tony who hopes A&A will appear
at the next Winterfest, but Allan doubts it will take place; how many
SW transmitters does WBCQ have? Six, which means there is only one
extra when all are on the air. 0055 switches to email, Jason in
Halifax who disses Bell Canada and CBC; Chris in Connecticut where the
power is still out. Just a bit of time left for overt vote-for-Trump
urge; quick prayer and JIP Turner 0100+ already underway.
I`m not making this up, as John Carver matches with his notes:
``Tonight's show started on time on 5130, 6160 and 7490. They're using
the old version of WTO this evening. Allan and Angela in the studio
opening with some very political comments and then going into stories
about radio in the twenties and thirties. Then into talk of
telephones. Difficult to get a good signal on any of the three
frequencies this evening. Again an agitated Angela.
Phone call at 0022 from Mr. Mike to tell us that the fall Nearfest has
been cancelled. After that Allan announced that they were also
broadcasting on 3265. He also said that the superstation was working
and airing the WLC programming.
Phone call at 0040 from Ramsey. Another phone call at 0046 from a
gentleman thanking them for being on the air and stating how much he
was enjoying the program. At 0050 a phone call from Tony Straka asking
when they would next make an appearance at the Winterfest.
Reading of emails at 0055 and closing prayer at 0059. Program was off
the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Thanks to Colin Newel for fielding a few phone calls while I was putting
this together tonight and was a bit confused/stuck
Initial testing of my new Pennant Antenna vs Loop is pretty promising here
in Laramie, WY. I take my AM gear down mid spring and put it up near the
end of the summer
The loop and pennant are both pointed east west, but the pennant has a null
to the east. They are set up in a "lashed up" way that is not optimal and
somewhat temporary, as I wanted to make sure everything worked before I
made it permanent
On the pennant, classical music from KKNS 1310 Corrales/ABQ. New Mexico is
audible well at times. On the loop its a schloppy mess of KKNS, KFKA and
sometimes KGLB rising up nicely.
On 1120, the pennant reveals a noisy KMOX. The loop.. KMOX is quite nice
and loud.
On the loop, KTWO is loud on 1030. On the pennant antenna. KTWO is noisy
as heck, revealing an occasional XESDD.
On 650, KGAB is pretty good on the loop. On the pennant antenna, KGAB is
weak as crap with a KMTI audible. KGAB is an 850 Watt 3 tower DA pointed
right at me from 40 miles away.
On the loop, Radio Rebelde mixes with KNUS on 710, both are audible. On
the pennant, RR is much weaker and KNUS is very noisy
On 750, WSB is kinda sorta there on the loop. On the pennant antenna, its
spanish music from KAMA El Paso, TX
On 830, WCCO is quite nice on the loop. On the pennant, theyre almost
useless.. very noisy.
On 850, KOA is very loud on the loop. On the pennant, its noisy
On 940, KPSZ Des Moines is decent at times on the loop, very noisy on the
pennant.
on 1660, KBRE Merced is a little stronger and clearer on the pennant vs loop
