** CANADA [and non]. 346 MCW kHz, June 25 at 0626, dash and YXL is JBA
direct, even when my ``locals`` are uncopiable vs high line and storm
noise levels, beyond perhaps a JBA carrier only: 255 SW Stillwater OK,
293 FBY Fairbury NE, 329 PMV Portsmouth NE, 332 IC Wichita KS, 395 CA
Newton/Harvs KS, 407 HRU Herington KS. All of which are 25 watts
except 400 for IC, really? The 500 watts from SiouX Lookout ON makes
the difference (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, June 25 at 0624, R. Rebelde not off the air but S9+25
making it the SSOB except for WWV. Only other broadcast detectable is
JBA carrier from Estación 4940, Venezuela, since 4840 WWCR is OFF,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser,, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2300 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke,

Thanks for financial support this week from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh

** U S A. 9330, June 25 at 0616, NO signal from WBCQ. Also at 1456 -
but that could be during a rotation pause - NO, STILL NO SIGNAL at
1521, 1700. What`s wrong? BTW, 9330 is often unreasonably weak for
500? 250? kW, when WLC is beaming toward Brasil, off the side to here
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5935, June 25 at 0622, this WWCR is OFF instead of all-night
blasting DGS/PMS/TUN. Then I quickly discover 4840 is also OFF, having
first checked 5890 whether it be off as it is supposed to be, unlike
last night. So now, ALL WWCRs are off. What`s wrong?
At 1613, 13845 is on, 12160 is on with song ``Young Love`` during WW
Country Radio, 9980 is off. Current websked shows WWCR-4 on 9980 is
available ``13-01`` UT, meaning 12-24 UT, axual usage straight thru
those hours is only on Sat & Sun, while on M-F, 9980 is ON only at
12-14 & 22-24. Of course this will all shrink to zilch if TOMBS
axually quit radio after June 30. Has anyone found any explicit
confirmation of such plans on website, direct from TOMBS, or mention
on air? or more from Jeff White on Wavescan?
As for `WW Country Radio`, a much-needed respite from all that
politico-gospel huxtering, now sked: M-F 16-17 12160, Tue-Fri and Sun
05-06 4840. ``Ring of Fire``at 1621. These are real standards, so
wonder if any `new` shows are being produced, or just recycling
evergreens like `The Talking [sic] Machine Show` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. FCC website
https://www.fcc.gov/general/high-frequency-stations-seasonal-operating-frequency-schedules
Now has a link to A25 schedules as of April 29, but axually leads to
B24!
However if you edit the link to A25, there really is one at:
https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/A25FCC01.TXT
Also updated on the WOR homepage.
Strangeness: WTWW, finally has correct 5920 and 9930 instead of 5830
and 9940, but NOT 5085! And 12105 in case that ever reactivate third
transmitter.
Imaginary WWCR registrations: would you believe 124 entries? Covering
intraseasonal time changes, and segments within a broader span.
Frequencies not really in use now:
3195, 3215, 6090, 7390, 11775, 12180, 15795, 15825. 6090 & 11775 are
ex-Caribbean Beacon, Anguilla; 3195 was necessary only when sharing
3215 with defunct WWRB. 12180 & 7390 presumably alternates in case of
QRM to 12160, 7490. WRMI not in use: 9975, 17775, i.e. ex-KVOH. WJHR
fixionally as 50 kW on 15555 as if AM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9236.0, June 25 at 0617, weak open carrier direct, one
of the mysterious group always ending in 6. Had been accompanied by
clickery over a much broader range, but too much noise level to detect
that now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9340.4, June 25 at 0616, S6/S9 open carrier direct,
while 9330 WBCQ is AWOL. Ditto at 1456 check when it`s a JBA carrier.
What is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
