Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** BRAZIL. 11780, UT Sat Apr 12 at 0149, RNA with RNB mini-English
segment, VG S9/+10 into local SDR. It`s another repeat, pt 1 with the
black woman who is an artist and filmmaker on the r?le of cinema and
environmental activism in Par?. 0154 switch to same in Spanish (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 13690, Apr 12 at 0610, maybe BBC relay on
RNZP, but not // BBC itself on 9410 via ASCENSION (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Apr 12 at 0612, JBA carrier, presumed Station
YHWH, anti-Christ pirate, as nothing else ``scheduled`` now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 94.5 is the FM frequency for movies at the El-Co
Drive-in, Shattuck, as in Ellis County. Near the TX panhandle, it`s
the only DI in NW OK. Quite a story about it in the Enid News & Eagle
April 12. Strangely enough, tho it`s a front-page story, I can`t find
it on the website, only photos such as:
https://www.enidnews.com/shattuck-drive-in/image_d72f2dc4-a42b-4dbf-92d9-9a4ecb94cd45.html
Maybe will show up later, for subscribers only? Showtime is 9:30 pm in
the summer CDT = 0230 UT, so if you have a very strong sporadic E
opening from this area? Wonder if it`s $tereo. Nearest full-power
94.5s are: KSKL Scott City KS, 100 kW; KSOC Tipton OK, Spanish 9.4 kW;
KFMX Lubbock TX 100 kW; KZMJ Gainesville TX 100 kW (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15500, Fri Apr 11 at 2158, SFR not off the air, S9+20/30
direct, nor the others: 15520 S9/+20, 15390 S7/S9, 17715 S9/+10. And
2200 opening token English, 2201 news leads with helo crash in NYC
killing family from Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 11 at 2157, NO signal direct from VOT English;
nor at 2225, 2250 into UTwente, nor possible accidentalternate 9875.
Something`s erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4724 USB, Apr 12 at 0619, US military crypto exercise,
uncopied, but ``This is New Moon, out``, then repeating, also starting
with that tactical ID, as I survey the usual //s, not quite as strong,
on 8992 USB, 11175 USB, 15016 USB. Initially there was an echo, but
not on the repeat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2290 monitoring: confirmed Friday
April 11 at 2203 the 2200 on WRMI 9955, direct seemed deadair, then
JBM, QRM from 9930 WTWW splatter, q.v. 2227 into Georgia SDR I can be
sure it`s really me with #2290 on 9955, S9+15/20.
Also confirmed UT Friday April 11 before 2230, the 2200 on webcast of
World FM, New Zealand.
Also confirmed Friday April 11 at 2230 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.002+, S8/S9 into UTwente. Next:
Sat Apr 12 I happen to awaken sometime between 0930 & 1000, so check
for alleged WOR airing on WRMI 9455, as has been on their System D
websked for ages: as expected, 9455 is OFF at this hour altho
obviously funxional earlier in evenings. WOR was also once reported at
this time on 7730 substituting for 9455 after hurricane damage: now a
JBA carrier on 7730 is too weak to tell if WOR be on it. 7730 is also
a ChiCom jamming/SOH frequency up to 24h.
Also confirmed Saturday April 12 at 1435 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.001-, S9/+5 into UTwente.
Also confirmed Saturday April 12 at 1600 on WRN N America & Europe
streams.
Also confirmed Saturday April 12 at 1730 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.001+, S8/9+10 into UTwente but with 6164 RTTYditty ACI unless BW
<8 kHz, or LSB tuned; and a few words behind on 3975.001+, S8/S9, no
QRM.

Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9810/10015, April 11 at 2205+, approx., range of audibiity
of splatter out of 9930 WTWW, peaking circa 9870 at S9+30 vs band
noise level of only S9. As before I make sure the TOMBS modulation
peaks match 9930 on a second receiver, and NOT matching 9980 WWCR
which is also TOMBSing but never synchronized with 9930. In fact the
9930 splat can be heard as close to 9980 as 9985. Also the separate
discrete spurs about 9917 & 9943 equidistant from 9930. Waterfall at
Georgia SDR shows the smush surrounding 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, Apr 11 at 2349, into NH SDR;
3265 & 5130 OFF. 6160 on with algo S6/S7. 7490 -75 Hz, S9+10 of FKB.
9330 S7/S9 WLCR Portuguese, hollow with backscatter? *2355 5130 -46 Hz
= 5120.954 cuts on with IS & ID loop. 2357, now 6160 -72 Hz = 6159.928
has been beefed up to S9/+5 of algo.
UT Sat April 12 at 0000, 7490-, 5130- and 9330 join for ID and `WTO`
theme of AAAWWW, initial talkover: ``I`m here, how ya doing, folx? ...
Totally unprepared...` Ensues conversation with plenty of angry input
by Angela, such as doesn`t like rap crap. Allan refers to a ScAm =
Scientific American article equating social media with tobacco as far
as dangers to health. 0030 a bit of music. 0036 contact info. 0048
mentions FRW. 0050 a bit more music, and then reading some items from
Free Radio Weekly, but it`s *last week`s issue* as I follow along, and
he concludes with the Oklahoma station on 670 -- except that was an
editorial typo in my report of Virtual DJ Radio correctly
on 1670 - as it still is. 0057 some email. Runs past 0100, but 5130
stops at 0101, then a bit of music, while 7490 presumably switches to
JIP Hal Turner; and 9330 to English.
That reminds me, whatever became of the other Worlds Last Chance
languages? In WRTH 2024 they had some French, German and Spanish, but
current sked shows only: 22 hours of English and 2 hours of
Portuguese, at 22-24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9265, Apr 12 at 0608, WINB running late again, YL gospel
huxtress referring to ``Yah-wah``, S9/+25 direct. Program sked at
winb.com still dated March 9, still with wrong ET/UT conversion of 5
hours instead of 4, still claims it`s off the air after midnight =
really 04 UT, not 05. Last time I caught them late was also Sat, Apr
5, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7656.0, Apr 12 at 0623, S9 open carrier, last logged
March 24 at 0639 with wideband clickery, q.v. Maybe now too, but noise
level too high to detect them. Among several such mysteries all ending
in 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
