** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, July 4 at 0638 UT, NDB PN, Ponca City
reconfirmed still on, JBA vs HNL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. The virus of dead Brother Scare is spreading
even worse than during his lifetime. Artie Bigley, OH, reports July 2:
``Glenn, Brother Stair on KXEL 1540 AM now! As of Monday, or so, I'm
now hearing Brother Stair at 2:00 AM CDT on KXEL radio. He is on from
2-3 AM CDT. I've listened to the nighttime talk show that normally
airs at that time but it's now preempted by Brother Stair. Called the
station today and they told me that his organization recently brought
that one-hour time slot and he has been on the station before. I guess
that was over ten years ago. So, his organization must have more money
to burn on airtime on various stations is my point. As you mention on
WOR yesterday he is buying more time on WBCQ these days.
Artie``
I`ve also noted these expansions; where comes from all that money?! BS
ranting is unlistenable by anyone with half a brain, and blasting that
crap over more and more SW frequencies is not going to change that.
How ashamed SW stations must secretly be, allowing themselves to
depend more and more upon him.
4980, July 4 at 0620, WRMI indeed still on with squealy TOMBS. 5800 at
0628 also, S9+10/20 undermodulated. 9955 at 0637 also JBA carrier
presumably same as on new skedgrid overnights. And 9955 definitely
TOMBS at 1605 Sunday July 4, so mid-day has been added. But that`s not
all!:
6159.901, July 4 at 0621, S9+10, WBCQ with TOMBS, this transmitter
also expanded, overnight? Also have a JBA carrier on 3265.147, must be
same as previously measured offset+plus. No 7490 or 9330 tho. WBCQ
program sked still shows no expansion of 6160 nor any 3265 at all!
9265V, July 4 at 0635, JBA S9 = hi local line noise level, must be
WINB, normally never on at this hour, bet it`s TOMBS too! Program sked
not updated since June 6. However, EiBi shows 9265 in DRM at 0700-1100
M-F only, but this is Sunday.
BUT TOM website HAS been updated for July with all this new stuff:
https://overcomerministry.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/OVERCOMER-MINISTRY-RADIO-LOG-2021-Google-Docs.pdf
Including WINB 9265 at 0400-0700 daily; WBCQ 3265 24/7! 6160 24/7
except for the existing Area 51/61 blox. 7490 from 1600 daily but not
overnight. Also lots of time via Bulgaria, WWCR, and of course WRMI,
on 13 frequencies, probably partially via every single transmitter.
Also expansion on AM/FM stations including KXEL at 06-08 UT daily
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2093 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
July 3 at 1800:36 on IRRS via Romania 7290, VG via UTwente, and also
on Italia AM, 918 kHz, via nearby Noale SDR steady S9+17, running 3
seconds ahead of 7290 as via two different SDRs. Earlier, 7290 from
1755 tune-in with hum and warble on plus side only; 1759:46 JIP Aida
theme cut on in progress as usual, quick IRRS ID, rather long pause
before WOR start. Timings compared to RWM 9996-CW also via UTwente.
BTW, EI Enid is on 341 kHz, not 342 as I misspoke on WOR 2093.
WOR also confirmed from 1942 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO via nearby SDR.
Also confirmed at NEW time of 2000 Saturday July 3 on WRMI 15770, good
direct at this hour, even tho off the side.
Also confirmed ending at 0341.5 UT Sunday July 4 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM
direct, sufficient but storm noisy; so started early circa 0312. Next:
2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun July 4 at 0028, WTWW-2 with `TOUTA` almost on
time, including really frantic version of William Tell Overture; take
that, AAAWWW! But by then I`m on the stereo webcast, non-distorted.
Ends right at 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9330, still AWOL WLCR via WBCQ. Dave Zantow got the reason:
``Alan Weiner via Twitter (July 4, approx. 1330 UT) --- "9330 the
worlds Superstation off the air. The power amplifier tube cracked in
half!!! Never saw that one before. Manufacturing defect we think as
the big PA tubes last up to decades. Searching for a spare now. TH576
made by Thales in France. Very disappointed. Cost new $100k." Dave
Zantow N9EWO, Janesville WI, "Dave's Radio Receiver Page"`` (WOR iog)
** U S A. 1360, July 4 at 0345-0355 UT, trying to hear WNJC,
Washington Twp, the one near Camden NJ, via closest KiwiSDRs, in
preparation for July 4th DX test at 00-10 UT, but not getting anything
identifiable via Philadelphia, Central NJ to the north, nor Fair Hill,
Maryland to the south; as I have little hope of getting it direct
despite nightly `DX tests` from 0400 in June and early July. The July
4 special might have been on tonight = UT July 4 but probably really
UT July 5, they did not make explicitly clear (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 92.9, July 4 at 1721 UT, ``Eagle 92.9`` IDs at least thrice,
also mentions iHeart, vs considerable CCI. I`m checking for Es on the
caradio parked in the garage following 90+ MHz MUFs on DXMAPs. This is
the only unusual signal found on 87-98 MHz. WTFDA database shows only
two possibilities:
KTGL 92.9 BEATRICE NE CLASSIC ROCK THE EAGLE 92.9 100.0 kW ERP H&V
247.0 m HAAT 40-31-06 96-46-07 42D3 THE EAGLE Title & Artist Classic
Rock
WEGX 92.9 DILLON SC COUNTRY EAGLE 92.9 100.0 kW ERP H&V 492.9 m HAAT
34-22-04 79-19-21 5FEB TODAY'S COUNTRY WEGX EAGLE 92.9 - Country
Unfortunately did not hear it long enough to tell whether country or
classic rock. Slogan did not start with ``The`` so that leans to SC,
which is also a likely distance for sporadic E, 1049 miles. Beatrice
however might have ``skipped`` in via tropo scatter, 275 miles, too
close for Es.
Such fringe stations mostly in KS & OK are the bane of my FM DXing, as
they can fade in and out completely much like Es. Checking
Radio-locator next, both have iHeart oonnexions, but neither directly
owned, both with streaming via iHeart. It looks like KTGL is less
iHearty, and I am leading toward WEGX as the more likely.
