[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs July 28, 2010 part 2

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** OKLAHOMA. 1580, KOKB Blackwell once again lost modulation, just open carrier July 28 at 2006 UT. No understations audible this time, only a sesquihour after local mean noon (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15385.2, KJES is indeed this far off-frequency as previously reported by Mark Taylor as unID on July 24 at 1914. Heard July 28 at 1937 registering S9+20 but quite undermodulated so I need to turn the volume almost up full for normal listening level. Hymn sung by OM in Spanish with gringo accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9335, new frequency for Brother Scare: what`s he doing here? Wednesday July 28 at 1946 with usual depressing pessimism, to say the least. Runs about 10 seconds ahead of himself on WWRB 9385. 9335 is fairly steady at S9+15, poor in daytime noise level, but stronger than adjacent WBCQ 9330-CUSB with non-BS, presumed still GFRN. 

A few minutes earlier I had noticed WINB missing from 13570, thought maybe due to poor propagation. It`s also missing from 9265, which normally carries BS thru midday only on Sabbathdays instead of 13570 otherdays. Then I check the 9335 carrier with BFO --- yes, it is slightly unstable, just like WINB on its known frequencies. 

Keep listening and at 1958:30, 9335 cuts away from BS for WINB ID, address but no frequency mentioned, off at 1959*. I then tune one radio to 9265 and another to 13570 to cover where it may show up next. Yes: *2000:10 carrier on 13570, 2000:50 sign-on, this time giving 13570, address, and phone 717-244-5360. 2101:40 into Voice of the Spirit. 

I am tempted to call them and ask what`s with 9335, but instead I check the website later. http://www.winb.com --- anything about this? Of course not! Still shows 9265/13570/9265. The program schedule still dated March 14 as of the start of EDT, still shows 5 instead of 4-hour difference from UT. Still shows Tony Alamo at 11 am-noon and 2-4 pm weekdays, which I assume means 15-16 and 18-20 UT instead of 16-17 and 19-21 as shown.

So WINB is not only on a brand-new unannounced, unlisted frequency, but also with a change in programming, finally rid of that monster sex predator a full year after his convixion. Further check needed at 1500 to be sure. I guess 9335 is for Brother Scare, who wants to be on 9 MHz instead of 13, since 9 MHz works on Saturdays. 

FCC/HFCC registrations still include long-inactive WMLK on 9265 in the daytime except on Saturdays when WINB has it for BS. So in order to use 9 MHz in the day other than on a Saturday, apparently had to find another frequency, but only 5 kHz from another US station, WBCQ?! 

Of course, there is no sign that WMLK is being resurrected. It was silent for years preceding the death of Elder Jacob O. Meyer, and it`s even less likely now to come back. Might as well give up the wooden frequencies for it in the registrations. 

The WMLK website is still up, http://www.wmlkradio.net/ with all the antenna update info but apparently nothing this year, since EJOM died April 9, 2010, per the obit. They claim to be streaming 24 hours, but make lots of excuses if you don`t hear it, and I don`t, altho the embedded player launches and the clock is running. 

How about the Overcomer Ministry? Website is no longer as fancy and we finally find the SW schedule page under Downloads.

It`s no more accurate than before, but it does reveal a few things: 

BS is indeed on WINB instead of Alamo, M-F at 2-4 pm on ``13570``, but look at the last entry. The same hours, plus M-F 11 am-noon, on ``9355``, not attributed to any station. Besides that, the frequency is wrong, obviously meant to be 9335 where I heard it, definitely IDed as WINB. After WBCQ and WWRB times, the rest of the list, sic:

WINB 9265 8Am-11Am Mon-Fri
WINB 9265 9:30Am-4:30Pm Sat
WINB 9265 5Pm-7Pm Mon-Fri
WINB 13570 2Pm-4Pm Mon-Fri
6110 UK 10Am-12Pm 
13810 Europe 10-11Am
6155 UK 1900 - 2000 UTC
7425 Israel 1900 - 2000 UTC
9895 Europe 1900 - UTC
9355 11Am-12&2Pm-4Pm

The `9355` entry neatly covers all the times previously scheduled for Alamo, so it looks like WINB has cleaned up its act by one step. It`s helpful to know that you can keep broadcasting for a full year on WINB after being convicted, leading to a sentence of 175 years.

Or, another possibility is that WINB is really supposed to be on 9355 but they got it wrong: 9355 has IBB Philippines and Saipan on it, but possibly sharable in NAm daytime, and not adjacent to other domestic US stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 690, KGGF Coffeyville KS, July 28 at 2008 UT with KC Royals baseball, not only the local commercials, but the game too! It`s // 860 KKOW not far away also in SE Kansas, plus WIBW 580, KLEY 1130, and as usual delayed several seconds on KCSP 610, presumably the flagship station; also local KFXY 1640 Enid OK, ``Faith 1640`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
