** U S A. 17790, Sept 15 at 0417, surprised to find strong S9+30
gospel huxter in English with British accent. This is the WRMI-7
frequency for R. Africa Network supposedly only 1500-2200 on 160
degree beam for S America. 17790 had been extended before at least
until 2400 for Classic Redneck Radio.
Now it`s the SSOB over a totally night path, strong but considerable
fading, slightly stronger than RNZI 17675 at S9+10/20. 0427 program
close with partial website, time.net? 0428 ID as ``Voice of the
Martyrs Radio``, about Islam, vomradio.net; and then ``Radio N-N`` or
M-M?? by PanAm Broadcasting, info@panambc.com, or
pan-american-broadcasting.com.
0430 `Truth for Life` [otherwise I`m busy chasing TA JBA MW carriers
on the R75, but this is easy on the PL-660]. 0455 now I`m on the
NRD-545 during `Mission Network News` about Christianizing Syrians.
0459 plugs Trans World Radio, music, Radio Pan-AM ID but *no* WRMI ID
at TOH! Another check at 0559, R. PanAm, two notes, no WRMI ID and cut
to OC/DA which stays on for quite a while. Still there at 0614 as I
have a carrier tone offtuned in USB. By 0632 it`s a JBA carrier, so
now something else? Possibly the earlier strong signal was a sporadic
E anomaly.
I asked Jeff White: ``PanAm 17790 in the night --- Jeff, Am hearing
PanAm on 17790 before and after 05 UT - no WRMI ID on the hour. But I
guess it must be, not on your schedule at night. VG signal, better
than NZ 17675, and much better than your 15770. What gives? Is this
still on the 160 antenna, or what? What are the total hours now? 73,
Glenn, OK like 315 degrees`` - no reply as Jeff apparently does not
welcome such probing questions? Maybe on FB? Nothing recent there
about this.
It`s conceivable that 17790 at +0400-0600* UT is via some other less
nightful site than WRMI. Who knows?
Note this programming IDs as Radio PanAm, which is not the same as
Radio Africa Network. I finally found this sked which does not mention
SW, but repeats every four hours, starting with 8 am-noon, Pacific
Standard [sic!] Time:
https://www.radiopanam.com/listen/schedule/
This more or less correlates with what I was hearing. If there is any
mention of 17790, any SW frequency, or WRMI anywhere on their
websites, I haven`t found it.
17790, next check at 1449 Sept 15, JBA carrier and the SSOB/OSOB
except for 17815 Turkey. That`s probably Vatican to S Asia/ME at
1430-1600, scheduled to overlap WRMI/RAN for an hour, a
collision/share HFCCers are apparently cool with (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 15150, Sept 15 at 1452, WMLK gospel huxter is JBA only S5,
in degraded propagation, K-index 5.33, and ``Space weather for the
past 24 hours has been strong. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G3
level occurred`` per WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, despite HSNL from
NW OK, Sept 15 starting at 0423 UT, first tuning upward on USB, 9-kHz
steps, 1 kHz below 9/kHz channels, best on the R75 with E/W loop: 576,
684, 711, 747, 774, 801, 855*, 882, 945, 1098-2 [pause for SW chex,
see USA 17790 WRMI]. Resuming at 0431-0434: 1125, 1305-2, 1341, 1413,
1422, 1476.
Then tuning upward in LSB, 9-kHz steps, 1 kHz above 9/kHz channels,
Sept 15 at 0434-0441 UT: 576, 684, 711, 773*****, 855-2, 882-2, 936,

981, add one more as I am tuning 10-kHz steps, at 0449; and 1141 which
of course must be Cuba.
NOTE: *=stronger than the others. -2 means two or more carriers
beating. 773***** attn: again that mystery on 773 rather than 774!
