** ANTARCTICA [non]. Reminder that BBCWS annual mid-winter special to
the British Antarctic Survey is June 21 at 2130-2159 UT on 5960 UAE,
9575 Ascension, 12065 -not 13810 which was tested a week ago,
Woofferton. Original publicity gave the time as 1832 ``local`` - that
is apparently really 1832 UT, but NO English SW frequencies are
regularly scheduled at that time per HFCC - only 17830 Ascension --
but M-F only! Indeed, no 17830 signal into various remotes at 1851 Sat
June 21. Maybe streamed, DAB. And HFCC shows except for this one
occasion there are *no* BBCWS English SW frequencies on air between
2000 and 2200. No doubt we can hear it on demand later as well as
previous ones on the programmme website. Or not: this site says ``this
content is not available in your location``

radio stations. Coverage map shows site is axually closer to Tulsa
than Henryetta, how fortunate: in the NW corner of Okmulgee county.
Both H and T are of course well within the `local` circle. Fringe

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs June 20 at 2348+ into NH SDR:

also OC. 7490 -77 Hz = 7489.923, S8/S9 FKB. 9330 WLC PP S7/9. At 2355,
both 5130 & 6160 start IS & ID loop, slightly out of sync. 0000 June
21, 5130 announces AAAWWW is a repeat of April 11, 2025, and it
continues // 7490 & 9330. Never mind: I logged it in detail on that
date. As usual, 6160 with some other program on its now very curtailed
schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1320 kHz, June 21 at 0645 UT, KLWN ID in passing at tune-in.
That`s U1 500/250 in Lawrence KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 101.7, June 21 at 1627 UT, mono and very undermodulated talk
about SCOTUS ruling on Trans, 1637 after break as `Washington Watch`,
some gospel huxter network. KREJ Medicine Lodge KS. Sibling station to
91.5.
91.5, June 21 at 1630 UT, gospel rock in mono, somewhat undermodulated
but better than 101.7 sibling station, q.v. Now 91.5 is Smile FM out
of Michigan. KSNS Medicine Lodge KS. None of this updated info yet in
WTFDA FM DB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1550.58, June 21 at 0643, JBA carrier hetting 1550s:
rather than the `usual` 1549.82 presumed XEREL, could still be there
inaudible right now. Nothing so far away in mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1560.11, June 21 at 0642, JBA carrier hetting 1560s such

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS
== Commentary ==
This week, the 2300th edition of Glenn Hauser's World of Radio is
airing. This radio show is one of the best on shortwave radio today,
is always informative and interesting, and we're happily acknowledging
this milestone.
In the WBCQ archives, there is a cassette of two episodes of "World of
Radio Extra" that were aired on WBCQ in 1999.
https://archive.org/details/classic-wor
I don't think Glenn distributes his show to any stations via cassette
anymore (Larry Will, June 20, Free Radio Weekly) Correct; thank you,
Larry! (gh)
