** CUBA. 10715, Sept 3 at 2214, a few Spanish numbers alternating with
digital blaaaps, spy number station as regularly scheduled but seldom
noted here. EiBi shows 2154-2257 on days 1357 = M/W/F/Sun (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 12030, Sept 3 at 2210 UT, around here, very wideband
distorted FM blob, but I make out a KOFM ID in passing, and then
confirm the music is // my Enid local on 103.1, also at 2219. This is
happening only with the Wellbrook loop antenna; gone when switching to
internal shortwire. Previously I had 12030 FM spurblob here matching
11780 RNA Brasil which is also on now; that was just as certain then
as KOFM source is now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 11940, Sept 3 at 2208, this SNR frequency for S America is
still AWOL including during token English Friday semihour. 17855 to N
America still holding up well, S9/+20, about Venice Film Festival.

[and non] At 2312, 15520 is off as scheduled, 11670 now occupied by

until 0200* like 17855, the only one left (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Sept 4 at 0000, WBCQ webcast with
`AAAWWW`; not even checking SW frequencies but Allan says they are
only trimulcasting on 7490, 6160, 4790, as he couldn`t get 3265 to
come on when he tried at 2345, unknown why it`s getting no AC, and no
time to mess with it now, maybe a fuse blew?

The $ 245K plate amplifier tube from France has arrived. Continental
will be coming next week to test it before installing in the
SuperStition. The crate alone must have cost $ 1K. It was well packed
with a tip indicator, which shows it was also carefully handled in
shipping. Complains that can`t get people in to do antenna work no
matter how much the pay. 2 megawatt Diesel generator has also needed
maintenance for two years. Blames government for unemployment
compensation. Electricity cost has doubled since WBCQ started in 1998,
but airtime rates remain as then, not even raised for inflation;
roughly $ 50/hour, should be $ 200+.

0022, caller from Toronto with news that CHML 820 in Hamilton has
flipped to comedy format. [NO, 820 is CHAM; CHML is on 900! -- gh];
discussing formats and whether there is really any demand for comedy;
0026 mulling future of AM & FM; noting that Switzerland is keeping FM
a little longer until 2024 when everything goes DAB. 0033 caller from
Durango CO, ``Ravvashoe``? 0037 starts reading cold some items from
new Free Radio Weekly just in, including mine about ``Lode`` Radio,
MRI classical and YHWH.

0039 Bill in Ohio interrupts as another caller. Points out that unlike
most cars, the Toyota Prius has VG AM radio engineered so car computer
noise itself is avoided. 0045 resumes FRW items. 0047 caller requests
some music, ``It`s a Beautiful World`` by Devo. This is not a music
request show, but will make an exception and play that for him next
week. 0053 stream craps out as usual at this exact time, why? I
restart it. Don`t blame White people for slavery: everybody did it
back in the day. 0058 prayer, and off by 0100 in time to hear Hal
Turner theme. John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160 and 7490. Allan and
Angela in the studio. Allan went out to check why 3265 wouldn't come
up before the show started and said it wasn't getting any AC power.
Didn't have time to tear into it then. The next talk was about a new
tube that showed up at the station. I'm assuming it's the new tube for
the superstation but I've been fielding a lot of telephone calls this
evening. They went on at length about how the tube was packed and how
sturdy and high tech the crate was.

Phone call at 0022 from Canada talking about radio formats. Phone call
at 0033 from a long time listener whose name I can't spell. Reading of
the new Free Radio Weekly began at 0038 and was interrupted a minute
later by a phone call. Starts reading the Free Radio Weekly again at
0045 and a phone call at 0048 from Kracker. Into reading of the emails
at 0051 and closing prayer at 0058 and off the air at 0100. John,
Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6765-USB, Sept 3 at 2317, 5HF in contact with unheard
5IS; MARS net? Soon fuller ID as NN5HF, or is it NNN5HF? Then digital
blaaps (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
