** CHINA. 17880, June 19 at 2204, Chinese songs S9+10/20, the SSOB; equivalent to 17715 Spain. HFCC shows CRI Spanish at 22-23, 500 kW, 318 degrees from Beijing site for CIRAF 14 = Argentina & neighbors. Would be reaching us via a more polar route via the Midnight Sun. 17880 is usually audible, but weakly. This has always seemed to me a strange service, aiming NW from Beijing across the Arctic eventually to deep South America - instead of low-latitude trans-Pacific from the other side. Or Mali or East Turkistan would be much closer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO 2352 monitoring: not confirmed Friday June 19 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, since there is NO signal direct - while 9395 provides a JBA carrier; 15770 is on but 17790 is also inaudible.

Yes, it`s another rerun, from May 30 and also June 6. Never mind. Quick check of NH remote finds 7490 only on the air, not all five as he claimed two sesquiweeks ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [non[. 3955, Fri June 19 at 2226, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` on Channel 292, Germany with Persian music, some announcements in German, fair into UTwente SDR, but storm crashes concentrated over Netherlands per Blitzortung. Too bad this is the only way to hear them, not on an US station, or [o, no!] webcast alternative (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR ** U S A. re: WBBM AM 780 --- ``Glenn, long long time listener; regarding the recent report of signal difficulty with AM 780 from Chicago: 780 and 670, both owned by the same company, are moving transmitter locations. Several years back 780 moved the transmitter location to co-locate with 670. They removed the tower to sell off the land. As the 670 tower was bigger they had to reduce power, down from 50kW to 35kW in daytime and 42kW at night. They are presently moving both stations to the daytime site of AM 1160, North of Chicago. The land value and aging facilities are encouraging the move. AM 1000 moved about 6 months ago from their Downers Grove site to sharing the site used by the AM 820 night transmitter, South of Chicago near Joliet, which also hosts a low power FM translator station. The land value of these transmitter sites near Chicago have become too valuable to reserve for AM broadcast facilities. It's probable any signal difficulties on 780 or 670 will be related to building out new transmitting facilities. 670 and 780 are not actively marketing their AM signals. Both have full power coverage on the FM band and even mentioning the AM frequency has become rare. They only promote the FM and streaming. AM 890 has considered relocating. carry on, Eric Ferguson, Lockport, Illinois`` Eric, Tnx for the info. I have no interest in listening to 670, but have not noticed any problems with it when tuning around, unlike 780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** URUGUAY. 21245 USB, June 19 at 2205, CX7SS [sugar/sugar], calling CQDX in English, S9, QRZ? then working AA4NP.
