It's a brand new license and apparentlly was not only built recently, but
also sold to the same people who own a LPTV and non comm FMs in Anchorage.
KABN 960 is running Moody Radio's Praise & Worship Christmas music
programming. SAME feed as WDLM 960 East Moline, IL.. I almost got caught
up.. till I heard the station id!

World Music Radio (WMR) has a new frequency in the 19 mb: 15790 kHz.
(Previously on 15805) On the air every Saturday and Sunday 0700-2000 UTC.
Power is 200 W into a 3 element yagi (due South).
Testing from today Friday if everything works ok. I will probably leave the
transmitter on all weekend - from now continuously until Sunday 20 UTC.
Reception reports are welcome to World Music Radio, PO Box 112, DK-8960
Randers S?, Denmark (for a printed QSL-card, pennant and stickers - please
enclose return postage 2 IRCs or 5 euro if you can) or via email to
[email protected] (for an eQSL). Please note that reception reports using remote
receivers are not QSLed. I try to reply to all reports within 1-2 months.
5840 kHz (24h) will be changed to 5930 kHz (0700-1745) before the end of
December 2020.
927 kHz (24h) is due on the air in January 2021.
Radio208 has transmitter problems. 5805 kHz (250W) from Hvidovre went silent
late on November 22nd. Back on the air on the new frequency of 5970 kHz
(200W) December 9th - but nothing on December 10th. Today December 11th from
1030 UTC the transmitter is back on the air, but we have lowered power to 50
Watt only, hoping that the transmitter can work with this. So Radio208 now
on 5970 kHz (50W) daily 0700-1600 UTC.
1440 kHz (24h) remains on the air from Ish?j, Copenhagen.
Reception reports are welcome to Radio 208, PO Box 112, DK-8960 Randers S?,
Denmark (for a printed QSL-card and stickers - please enclose return postage
2 IRCs or 5 euro if you can) or via email to [email protected] (for an eQSL).
Please note that reception reports using remote receivers are not QSLed. I
try to reply to all reports within 1-2 months.

Mail from Radio Verdad. About the transmitter fault, Mr. ?dgar Amilcar
Madrid says Radio Verdad is on air via satellite on the same frequency,
4055 khz and ask for reports. ???. Very strange.

Asunto: Radio Verdad off the air.
-----V?alo en Espa?ol al final.-----
Dear Friends of Radio Truth:
Radio Truth's Omnitronix 1000 burned out on the fifth of December 2020
by 10:00 o'clock in the morning. Both power modules were burned out, so,
Radio Truth is out of air ever since.
We fixed Module 'A' today and I went to test it. It worked alright
during five minutes, and then, a fuse burned out. We plan to review
tomorrow.
Module 'B' has a card with a burned area on the printed circuit. It may
need a new card, or rebuilding the old one.
So, this is the reason why we are off air on short wave.
However, we are on the air of Internet through our Web Site Radio Verdad
| Estaci?n Educativa Evang?lica de Chiquimula
<http://www.radioverdad.org/>
Radio Verdad | Estaci?n Educativa Evang?lica de Chiquimula
<http://www.radioverdad.org/>
Beginning yesterday, we are also transmitting on Radio Truth
International via satelite on the same frequency of 4055 Khz, and we
need your reports if you get to tune it.
May God bless you and keep you on a good health.
Dr. ?dgar Am?lcar Madrid
Manager and Director
Radio Truth,
Chiquimula, Guatemala, C. A.

Apreciados Amigos de Radio Verdad:El transmisor Omnitronix 1000 de Radio
Verdad se quem? el 5 de diciembre del 2020, a las 10:00 am. Los dos
m?dulos de potencia se quemaron, de modo que, Radio Verdad est? fuera
del aire desde entonces.
Ya reparamos el M?dulo 'A', y fui a probarlo. Funcion? bien durante
cinco minutos, y luego, se quem? un fusible. Pensamos revisarlo ma?ana.
El M?dulo 'B' tiene una tarjeta con un ?rea quemada en el circuito
impreso. Puede ser que necesitemos una nueva tarjeta, o reconstruir la
tarjeta vieja.As? es que, ?sa es la raz?n por la cual estamos fuera del
aire por onda corta.
Sin embargo, estamos en el aire a trav?s de nuestro Sitio Web

** AZORES [non]. 13306-USB, Dec 11 at 1553, GLO9680 ID repeatedly in
2-way comms, aircraft to ground I assume, also re-referring to
position 37N, 40W. Search on call leads right to a flight tracking
site for today, from MCO Orlando to SMA Santa Maria - A?ores. Which
fits for approaching Azores from WSW. Company is GOL despite callsigns
as GLO----. All about this twice-weekly flight:
https://www.airportia.com/flights/g39680/orlando/vila_do_porto/
EiBi shows 13306 as a North-Atlantic ATC frequency shared by ground
stations New York, Gander, Keflavik, Shannon as well as Santa Maria.
Santa Maria is a minor island; why is it the major air terminal
instead of Ponta Delgada on the next major island, S?o Miguel? Lajes,
NATO base, is on a third island, Terceira (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 392-MCW kHz, Dec 11 at 0712 UT, ND beacon ML -- at times
seems like a third letter but there is definitely a dash so it`s not
plain old 25-watt ML in Monroe, Louisiana, but 500-watt ML in La
Malbaie - Charlevoix, Qu?bec. La Malbaie is on the left bank of the
St-Laurent, not quite as far as Rivi?re-du-Loup on the right.
326-MCW kHz, Dec 11 at 0723 UT, NDB YQK, which is 200 watts in Kenora,
Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 7435, Dec 11 at 1435, romantic Chinese songs, S9+10/20 and
one of best signals on band, announcement in Russian and more song, as
CRI sked this hour from SZG site at 37 degrees, i.e. for DVR/DBP and
carrying on far beyond to us. Simulsked is CRI Nepali hour westward
from Kunming, but no sign of it here. How considerate of the ChiCom to
double up, reducing overall frequency occupancy (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 5980, Dec 11 at 0249, vs Cuban pulse jamming
against no Mart?, I heard two other weak stations mixing, and they are
not WWCR and WWCR as 5890 is not on yet so cannot leap over 5935. One
music and one talk; I soon recognize the music as IRAN`s IS, yes, as
the two-sesquihour Spanish service is just concluding; and Aoki/NDXC
shows the other must be AWR in another PJ, Punjabi via AUSTRIA. I
should think the Spanish from Sirjan would be a bit of a QRM problem
in the Punjab, as well as the 0200 Urdu in the Pakistan; counting on
skip-distance factor, azimuth? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Dec 11 at 0251, RHC is S9+10/20 but as usual on this
transmitter, just barely modulated: I can make out the news sounder
and presumed English. Something`s always wrong at RHC, but not
complaining since that facilitates my adjacent 5995 & 6005 logs (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ERITREA [non]. 17545+v, Dec 11 at 1543, no signal from Bayto Yaikl,
so Friday is another DOW it is inoperative via France; next to
reconfirm whether it still be Saturdays from 1530 as well as
Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, re TGAV missing, finally word about this received
from Dr Madrid on Dec 11:
Transmitter Radio Truth Dec 11 at 3:33 PM - V?alo en Espa?ol al final
Dear Friends of Radio Truth: Radio Truth's Omnitronix 1000 burned out
on the fifth of December 2020 by 10:00 o'clock in the morning. Both
power modules were burned out, so, Radio Truth is out of air ever
since.
We fixed Module 'A' today and I went to test it. It worked alright
during five minutes, and then, a fuse burned out. We plan to review
tomorrow. Module 'B' has a card with a burned area on the printed
circuit. It may need a new card, or rebuilding the old one. So, this
is the reason why we are off air on short wave.
However, we are on the air of Internet through our Web Site
Radio Verdad | Estaci?n Educativa Evang?lica de Chiquimula
Open the red link.
http://www.radioverdad.org/?q=escuchar-en-vivo
Beginning yesterday, we are also transmitting on Radio Truth
International via satellite on the same frequency of 4055 Khz, and we
need your reports if you get to tune it.
May God bless you and keep you on a good health.
Dr. ?dgar Am?lcar Madrid
Manager and Director
Radio Truth,
Chiquimula, Guatemala, C. A.``
The ``satellite broadcast on 4055`` refers to an unexplained method
supposed to give worldwide coverage which he has been expecting for
years, and which we think is a scam (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 13785+, Dec 11 at 1356, JBA carrier slightly offset+,
so UAE? Kuwait? Close, but Aoki/NDXC shows the only 13785 is ``R.
Saudi``, in Arabic at 1200-1357, whew, almost missed it; and before
1200 is on ``13780``. No time to measure it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 6005, Dec 11 at 0329, Arabic about Akhbar, or is
it Akbar, and Radio Tamazuj ID, 0330 `Horn of Africa` music, S9+10/20.
Site? MADAGASCAR at 0330-0430. //? I can`t remember but EiBi shows
7315 France and 11650 also Madagascar. S.S. isn`t really in the HoA,
the Somalia elbow, but close enough. 0344 more IDs in passing. Despite
its JBM, 6000 RHC is so strong that it still helps to tune to
6005-USB. Could be worse if fully modulating and splattering like it
does later on 6100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TAIWAN. 6865.117, Dec 11 at 1410, VP S3-S4 in Chinese? talk, as
Sound of Hope is listed by EiBi on 6865.1; no jamming which would
likely be on 6865.0. Comparing to CNR1 jammers on 6125 & 6070, does
not match (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TAIWAN [and non]. 6075, Dec 11 at 1421, CNR1 jammer mixing with
something else in Chinese, i.e. target RTI. // 6125, CNR1 only
non-jammer and probably also an RTI/CNR1 mix on 6180. When previously
heard until 1600*, 6075 was CNR1 only with no sign of Taiwan, off
earlier? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** THAILAND. 6765-USB, Dec 11 at 1359, multi-tone IS, 1400
announcement, maybe English but only made out ``kilohertz`` and off.
Not in Aoki/NDXC, but in EiBi as Bangkok Meteorological Radio on
6765.1, never specifying SSB where applicable. Might have been .1 but
in very weak SSB with no carrier it`s hard to pinpoint; whew, almost
missed it. Sked is 1200-1400 and two-hour broadcasts alternating with
one hour off thruout the 24. // 8743 but nothing by the time I tune
by. Used to QSL nicely and maybe still does despite elimination from
WRTH years ago as too utility, I guess (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 326-MCW kHz, Dec 11 at 0719 UT, ND beacon ODX, 25 watts at
Ord, Nebraska. Ord is in central NE between Elyria and Scotia. A nice
``DX`` catch, but why not ``ORD``? There is no such NDB in Chicago
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7457-USB, Dec 11 at 1430, AFA4UY, AF MARS net inquiring
about relays; net designator is 4TX2 uttered by next station,
stronger, AFS43O, all fonetikaly; latter call is strange format, and
ending in letter O, not number zero.
Searching on latter call and MARS leads to one very significant hit,
which might be interesting for further reading of 151 pages, and
*unclassified*:

Incredible amount of mily-burocratic info, but not the specifics we

names and locations. However, searching within on AFS43O we find that
to be in Georgia, not TX, as part of the 44th AF MARS Communications
Group. No hits on AFA4UY, 7457 or 4TX2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 18124-USB, Dec 11 at 1545, K4NYM calling ``CQ Parks on the

** U S A. 17775-, Dec 11 at 1506 & 1542 chex, NO signal from KVOH. It

UNIDENTIFIED. 6900-6950, Dec 11 at 1402, very wideband rapid pulsing

Subject: [HCDX] WCPH 1220 Etowah, TN HOLIDAY DX TEST DEC 26 and JAN 2
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
George Hudson, owner of WCPH and The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the
NRC and IRCA are pleased to announce two special upcoming DX Tests on both
December 26 and January 2nd, 2021. Both tests will be late night Saturday/Early
Sunday morning from 2 AM Eastern Time until 4 AM Eastern (0700-0900 UTC).
WCPH 1220 AM will be doing maintenance testing at their full daytime power of
1,000 watts using their daytime pattern. The station will transmit station
identifications in voice, singing jingles, and Morse Code. In addition, they
will transmit sweep tones, 1 kHz long tones, and other sound effects.
WCPH is currently celebrating their 65th anniversary of serving Southeastern
Tennessee. The station?s branding is ?Homegrown 1220? and ?Southeast
Tennessee?s Oldies Station.? Their nighttime power is normally limited to 109
watts on a very crowded channel?so this test represents a unique chance to log
this one.
Joe Miller, KJ8O is designing a special 65th Anniversary QSL card, which will
be available to those who successfully log this holiday test. Exact details on
how QSL reports will be handled are still being worked out with the station,
and will be announced shortly.
For now, plan your holiday activities around these two great opportunities to
log Homegrown 1220 in Etowah, TN!

the antipodes as already scheduled on 11910, tho a bit of DRM noise
underneath. When switched to DRM reception, no decode of course. RNA`s
second frequency choice is not so good either. The local SDR used to
get enough DRM signal to decode, but not as well as further.
I soon switch to Bonaire SDR: now that`s getting RNA-DRM, with SNR 14+
dB, S7-S8, and 13.06 kbps, instead of 14.06 as before. The particular
DRM mode has changed as someone noted. I`m checking now, whether `A
Voz do Brasil` is on this transmission since the format of Nacional FM
96.1 is mostly music? Yes, it is: 2224 a snippet of `White Xmas` ---
really, in the tropix? and EBC ID. 2225 a segment produced by
government Justice Dept., R. Justi?a. Now the S/N has climbed to 17,
S7-S8; concludes with ``at? segunda``, i.e. back on Monday; 2230
switch to `O Jornal do Senado`, also at? segunda, so AVDB is made up
of segments by various government entities. I wonder if everything has
to be pro-Bolsonaro? I`m not going to listen enough to decide. Recheck
at 2316, now classical music which I have not encountered before on FM
96.1, instead of MPB; but at SNR around 15 is suffering dropouts

** SCOTLAND [non]. 5800, UT Sat Dec 12 at 0300, once again this week,
WRMI is giving `Encore` a non-encore, but rather all the other airings
are, as this is the first one, and a time Brice Avery continues to
overlook? in his publicity; a secret bonus? I listen to most of it now
so I don`t have to catch it some other time. I happen to have the
Anna, Texas SDR running to check for KVOH 9975, so switch it to 5800
--- not so good, somewhat noisy, while Bras?lia would be better for
this if not RNA itself. At least `Encore` is never in DRM, so no
dropouts! However, via Anna there are several, like seven, brief
interruptions to the classical music by YL gospel huxter in Spanish,
and stronger on the meter, S9+25 vs S9+5, yet the tuner keeps
displaying 5800! I hasten to switch back to Brasil whether it`s really
happening to 5800 WRMI? Not quick enough, but I don`t think so. Occurs
again at 0354. Must be a defect at Anna, which is north of Dallas on
the way to Sherman. Or someone in Anna is messing with 5800 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Sat Dec 12 at 0104, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`
starts with ``a dear friend passed away``, but apparently not a human,
rather the Arecibo radio-telescope, which AHW also dealt with last
week, but this week keeps on about it past 0120, how important it
is/was for scientific research, but somehow mixes in racism and
politix, blaming `Moonbats` and the government for not spending more
on it. 0126 anti-obesity; blaming China for inventing COVID-19 since
previous virus did not do enough damage, and this one is
``smarter``.
Even in wake of latest SCOTUS ruling, AHW is sure Trump will get the
next 4 years --- ``or we`ll never have an accurate presidential
elexion again`` [???]. Angela`s comments mix in, but she tends to yell
more than Allan, distorting her modulation, and generally sounds even
more radical than Allan.
0136 he timestamps this as 11 December, YOOL 2020; from Studio 9 in
central FL where I think he said they had some frost; judges temp by
how little clothing Angela is wearing. Still looking for 1 or 2 or
more good engineers to hire for work at Monticello on the
SuperStation. WHRI takeover? Still delayed approval from FCC due to
COVID, working at home. 0140 a caller upon whom I zone out more. 0148
reads an article from Radio World about CHU Canada; 0158 benedixion
and over (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17775-, re KVOH still missing in my last report, Ray
Robinson replies at 0137 UT Sat Dec 12 on the WOR iog:
``Hi, Glenn. It's not a power issue - that came back late Tuesday
night [UT Dec 9]. And BTW, it hasn't quite been a full week. We were
on last Saturday as normal. But, with regard to this week, I can't
answer, because I don't really know. Our engineer has been trying to
get to the root cause of a shorting problem in the transmitter, that
he thought was fixed yesterday, but obviously wasn't. We'll be back as
soon as we can, but look for us now on 9975 from 0000 UT. New schedule
is here: http://voiceofhope.com/schedule/kvoh_program_grid.pdf
Ray.``
Shows Tue-Sun *0000-0300 UT Spanish, 0300-0700* UT English, yet
heading says until 3 AM Pacific = 1100 UT! I replied:
``Ray, Since 0150 UT Saturday to 0200, checking remotes in Texas and
Bonaire, no signal on 9975. Is it really on? Have not checked my own
radio yet. Which transmitter is that, the Shoffner-Harris? I suppose
the sked days of week refer to US not UT -- so Wavescan would be UT
Sun & Tue at 0300, right, not UT Sat & Mon? Glenn``
No 9975 signal either here when checked at 0218. Ray replied: ``Hi,
Glenn. No, KVOH is not on (although it should be!). And, yes, the
sched days are North American, not UT. Ray.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Re <<< 18124-USB, Dec 11 at 1545, K4NYM calling ``CQ Parks
on the Air``, from #4646 in central Florida, but did not catch name of
it. Hams are always coming up with excuses for contests, hi.>>>
``Yes, many hams love contests, cf <https://www.contestcalendar.com>,
but POTA is not really a contest. It?s an *ongoing* operating activity
for hams who like to operate away from home, visiting parks.
