** CHINA. CNR1 jammer quick check before 1400* July 13, from 1358:
13020, 12880, 12820, 12800, all poor. At 1423, only on 11460, 11100
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 12200, July 13 at 0544, RHC English is S9+10 and the SSOB (if
you attach this to 25m), but suptorted during a song. 2 x 6100, but
nothing on 12290 which would be 2 x 6145. Unusually, however, 2 x 6000
is also audible on 12000, S9 and undermodulated but not distorted. At
0557 I check the fundamentals: 6100 S9+30 suptorted; 6000 S9+20/30
undermod. Something`s always wrong at RHC. In case you think I say
that too much, axually I should say it four times about this item: bad
mod on both of them, harmonix out of both of them (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** JAPAN [non]. 13840, July 13 at 0541, JBA YL in French. I`m checking
in case NZ be on here in addition to its VG 9700 this hour. No, this
is NHK via MADAGASCAR at 0530-0600. BTW, Radio Japan languages
continue to default to English filler. Alan Roe reports: ``JAPAN [non]. The coronavirus pandemic continues to affect output
from NHK World R Japan. English news audio originating from NHK
Newsline [television! -- gh] heard during the opening 9 minutes in the
French service of NHK R Japan on 11730 kHz via Issoudun at 0530 UT on
Saturday 11 July. This was followed by audio from the English TV
programme J-MELO with a voice-over in French. NHK Newsline audio
continues also in the English service (as heard on 5975 at 0500, also
Saturday 11 July). Alan Roe, Teddington, UK``, WOR iog (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. In Enid we are blessed with three signals carrying ``The
House FM``, Jeezus rock aimed at younger demographic, which I avoid
like the plague, but in a very idle moment compare them, July 12
around 2132-2145 UT. First how they appear in the WTFDA Database: KJTH 89.7 PONCA CITY OK 100.0 kW H&V 307.0 m HAAT 36-35-42 97-34-38
29B9 KJTH - Religious Music CHRISTIAN CHR/ROCK THE HOUSE HD is Off KGVV 90.5 GOLTRY OK 14.0 kW H&V 40.0 m HAAT 36-27-45 98-02-28 220F My
Praise FM - Music with a message Adult Hits CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN THE
HOUSE OF PRAISE K253BC relays KLVV 88.7 98.5 ENID OK 0.25 kW H&V 78.5 m HAAT H 0.0 m
HAAT V [huh?] 36-23-54 97-50-14 CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MY PRAISE FM At this time, 90.5 is running 20 seconds behind 98.5; 89.7 sounds
similar but I can`t make a match plus or minus at all. Also on my
headphones it is obvious that 90.5 in $ tereo is modulating on right
channel only! 88.7 and 89.7 in Ponca are the originating sibling stations. To
confuse the situation further, July 13 at 1639 check, the three *are*
in // but not synchronized during a joint ``The House, and Praise``
fundraiser: translator 98.5 is first, 89.7 follows 13 seconds later,
and 90.5, another 5 seconds later! I suppose internet connexions are
being used for some or all of this. And 90.5 is still right channel
only (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. July 13 at 1455 UT, level-5 tropo blob centred around OKC
per Hepburn predixion, lesser rings out to the fringe here. Bandscan
with broken antenna gets many Bad signals on the few open channels,
including 6, presumably KBSD Ensign = Dodge City KS. And some of the
OKC channels are not decoding, RF 27 & 29, obviously due to DX QRM,
and even our local Enid K17JN-D translator invisible. RF 20, 19-1 KQCW `News on 6` Tulsa market`s CW is the only clear
decoder, as it often is, but no subchannels on it. RF 23, KSBI OKC is normally marginal or not decoding with its inferior
tower/power situation, but now it`s boosted so I explore its lineup:
52-1 KSBI; 52-2 Bounce: 52-3 Laff; 52-4 Grit; 52-5 Mystery. These
match rabbitears.info listings, but W9WI.com does not show any beyond
52-1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2042 monitoring: missed check of
the newish 0030 UT Monday July 13 on WRMI 7730; did anyone hear it? Confirmed UT Monday July 13 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, good via UTwente;
also WRN webcast a few seconds apart. Also confirmed UT Mon July 13 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, good at Utwente. NOT confirmed UT Mon July 13 after 0300 on WBCQ 5130, nor 6160v, both
of which are not audible at Rochester or Alexandria SDRs, and presumed
off air. But on Area 51 webcast start at 0302. Recheck the remote at
0400, 5130 is now on but signing off; unknown at what point during the
hour 5130 came on, during or after WOR? Also confirmed UT Mon 0330 on WRMI 9955, VG at Bonaire SDR and no
jamming heard, while at Rochester there is only jamming. Also confirmed Monday July 13 from 1800:23 as received via UTwente
SDR, on 7290, IRRS via Bulgaria, off to a good start and still going
well at 1825, over at 1829.4 into music, IRRS ID and Milano contact
info, 1830.5 longer FSN. Carrier was already on at 1755 tune-in, vs 7291 warble and 7280/7300
splash; just before 1759 cut on music --- never the same prélude from
one week to next; just before 1800 quick sign-on and Feature Story
News from Washington, headlines only, and then WOR. Next: 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9385, July 13 at 0549, WEWN English is still AWOL. Found
nothing about this on website; still shows A-20 frequency schedule,
but the program schedule
https://www.ewtn.com/radio/download/Shortwave_Grid.pdf
will not open. Lots of activity on their disgraced FB linked from WOR
Hitlist, but all about program promotion, and listener response,
obviously not any by SWLs. Who needs SW? I`ve now asked Glen Tapley, frequency manager: ``Glen, WEWN English
frequencies 15610 and 9385 have been off since July 3, at least never
heard here in numerous checks. What`s the problem? Have you decided to
stop broadcasting in English? Both transmitters out of order? Spanish
continues on 12050 and 5970. Regards, Glenn Hauser`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, July 13 at 0546, RV talks in Bislama, S5-S7, after
several nights of JBA signals; 3 x 3945, but pales in comparison to
RHC 2 x 6100 on 12200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1840 UT July 13
