WINB is certainly on the air, as I recently reported, and heard again on 9265
the morning of Oct. 7. A fuller obit is coming up in DXLD 8-110. gh
** U S A. Brother Scare via WINB, 9265, Oct 2 at 1341, mixing with ``running
water`` ute QRM for part of the 1343 minute; and not // Brother Scare via WWRB,
9385 --- at least no // detected during a minute of listening to each
frequency. If you don`t like what he`s saying on one station, just tune to the
other! Then what?
Just when is B.S. on WINB? Their online sked displays it this way, rather
inconveniently, in EDT:
The Overcomer
Mon-02:00P, Tue-02:00P, Wed-02:00P, Thu-02:00P, Fri-02:00P
[= M-F 1800 UT, for how long? One hour]
The Overcomer - Bro. Stair
Sun-05:00P [2100 UT, for how long? 1 hour per sked by time, so why isn`t this
included in the following entry?]
The Overcomer (1 Hr.)
Sun-02:00P, Mon-05:00P, Tue-05:00P, Wed-05:00P, Thu-05:00P
Fri-05:00P, Sat-05:00P [Sun 18-19 so why isn`t this included in the first
entry? And Mon-Sat 21-22 UT]
The Overcomer (3 Hr.)
Sat-02:00P [1800-2100 UT]
The Overcomer (4 Hr.)
Sat-10:00A [1400-1800 UT]
Note that on Saturdays only, or rather The Sabbath, this adds up to a
continuous 8-hour broadcast 1400-2200.
Frequencies? At the top of the page it now shows:
Frequency Schedule (EDT)
0630 - 0800 9265 kHz [1030-1200 UT]
0800 - 1700 13570 kHz [1200-2100 UT]
1700 - 1800 11520 kHz [2100-2200 UT]
1800 - 2300 9265 kHz [2200-0300 UT]
11520??? I was almost convinced the 21-22 UT hour, which only carries Brother
Scare, came via DTK in Germany. WRTH, HFCC and EiBi do not have this hour at
all on 11520 from anywhere, and Aoki lists it as USA but no further details.
The latest FCC update as of August 14 does not have 11520 as WINB or any US
station.
We hear the broadcast just about any day, and it seems to us the audio is
appropriate for DTK and not WINB. However, the WINB schedule shows it filling a
one-hour gap between 13570 until 21 and 9265 from 22, so it would seem to be
their own transmitter.
Even so, another possible scenario is that it is WINB only in the sense that
WINB is being relayed via Germany. But the latest M&B/DTK schedule dated Sept 5
does not show 11520, only 13810, 17485 and 6110 for TOM = The Overcomer
Ministry, at other times. Yet another scenario is that 11520 may have been
relayed from Germany for a while this summer, then transferred to Red Lion.
We must listen closer to any IDs at beginning or end, and also whether there is
any overlap with 13570 and 9265. Furthermore, whenever we tune 13570 with BFO
on, we find that the frequency is unstable with a pronounced warble, and if it
is the same transmitter, that should also happen on 11520 (and 9265). That may
be the clincher once checked. But why doesn`t FCC have 11520 on record??
{Wait a minute: I got so carried away with the 11520 anomaly, that I failed to
note that per their sked, at 1341, WINB is supposed to be carrying Family Radio
instead of Brother Scare! So the FR sked via WINB is further questionable.
Furthermore, WINB is supposed to be on 13570 after 1200 UT, let alone 1300, per
their own schedule, and online schedules. Could BS heard on 9265 be something
else? Nothing else listed except WMLK, which also uses 9265, but not scheduled
anywhere near that hour either, and has been silent for months. I did not check
13570 at that time.}
{at the Overcomer website, if you click on Graphical Shortwave Schedule,
http://www.overcomerministry.org/calendar/phpicalendar/day.php?cpath=&getdate=20080625&cal[]=t-sys&cal[]=wbcq&cal[]=winb&cal[]=wwrb
it defaults to June 25! But then you can ``jump to`` the current week, and find
it is hopelessly confused and out of date, still showing WBCQ 9330 and 5110,
which were abandoned months ago. It does however, still claim that 11520 is
WINB}
Let`s also check the Family Radio relay times on WINB, which can cause
confusion with Harold Camping & Co. showing up here despite his dozen
transmitters in Okeechobee and ever-expanding overseas relays. There can never
be enough droning from this unordained authority with seemingly limitless
broadcasting resources:
Family Radio - English
Sun-08:00A, Sun-09:00A, Sun-08:00P,
Mon-08:00A, Mon-09:00A, Mon-08:00P,
Tue-08:00A, Tue-09:00A, Tue-08:00P,
Wed-08:00A, Wed-09:00A, Wed-08:00P,

Sat-08:00A, Sat-09:00A, Sat-08:00P.
[I.e., much more succinctly, converted to UT, one hour each and with
frequencies: Daily 12-14 13570, 00-01 9265.]
Family Radio - Spanish
Sun-07:00A, Sun-07:00P,

[I.e., much more succinctly, converted to UT, one hour each and with
frequencies: Daily 11-12 & 23-24 9265.]
While we are looking at the WINB program schedule, we find this for Tony Alámo:
Mon-11:00A, Mon-03:00P, Mon-06:00P,
Tue-11:00A, Tue-03:00P, Tue-06:00P,
Wed-11:00A, Wed-03:00P, Wed-06:00P,
Thu-11:00A, Thu-03:00P, Thu-06:00P,
Fri-11:00A, Fri-03:00P, Fri-06:00P
Or put much more conveniently, converted to UT: M-F 1500-1600 & 1900-2000
13570, 2200-2300 on 9265. So we may hear how he responds to the charges against
him, and whether these broadcasts get canceled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
About 3 weeks ago somebody scattered leaflets all over the part of town where I
work. In English and Spanish. They said "Pastor Tony Alamo tells it like it
is... On WINB. Frequency 13.570". Very odd to see any form of advertising for a
SW program. 73 (Tim Hall, San Diego, Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry,
Oct 2, ABDX via DXLD)
Following up my earlier observations of WINB: silly me, I assumed the schedule
on the WINB website was correct. Well, stations are entitled to the benefit of
the doubt until proven otherwise by axual monitoring, which is extremely easy
to accomplish, as RHC has also found out.
I had certainly heard 11520 between 21 and 22 with Brother Scare, several times
in past weeks, but not any more. At 2058:30, 13570v went from the Fence Lake,
New Mexico preacher to sign-off announcement, talking over the Star Spangled
Banner! And these gospel-huxters are supposed to be super-patriotic? That`s
tantamount to flag desecration. They don`t quite get what you are supposed to
do with the SSB, which is: play it all the way thru unimpeded, even if it is a
shortened version, when signing on or off.
Announced QSY to 9265, no mention of 11520, cut off with SSB still playing at
precisely 2059:08. Meanwhile I was standing by on both 11520 and 9265. Nothing
ever came up on 11520, but a much weaker signal than 13570 came up exactly one
minute later on 9265. It had the same warbling unstable carrier as 13570 when
monitored with BFO. Did not sound like Brother Scare programming; signal built
up a little bit by 2106 when I could be sure the singing on 9265 was not // the
B.S. talking on WWRB 9385. If another site was carrying B.S. on 11520 during
this hour, it was inaudible. Reception from Europe was not very good, but Spain
[not Vatican] to Africa was audible on 11625.
So WINB is not using 11520, which the FCC has not listed anyway, and contrary
to its own claimed schedule, switches directly from 13570v to 9265v at
2059-2100 UT. Also, as noted earlier, it appears WINB stays on 9265 at least
two hours longer in the morning than the authorized 1200 switch to 13570. And
then there`s the YFR and BS programming which does not match the schedule
either. Multiple things are amiss here. Cf my comments under EQUATORIAL GUINEA
about getting act together (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Checked WINB again Oct 3 to reconfirm scheduling anomalies
contradicting own website: at 1235, 9265v with the warbling carrier, Brother
Scare instead of Harold Camping on 13570 where there was nothing. At 1300, B.S.
continued on 9265 with no ID break.
A different Brother Scare not // 9265 was on WWRB 9385 at 1310; however, he was
just barely audible beneath a big hum. Wiggle that patchcord! I then decided
that 9385 was running about one minute behind 9265 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
