** U S A. 820 kHz, Jan 29 at 0742 UT, WBAP has CCI of almost equal
strength, Florida ads, mentions 96.7 and 98.3, sports talk. That makes
it WWBA Largo FL, U4 50/1 kW, per NRC AM Log, CP for U2 10000/230
watts, and group The Big 8, which consist of those three frequencies,
with W252DF on 98.3 and W244EG on 96.7. It`s certainly not just 230 or
even 1000 watts, but day power, and pattern? Day has notch toward
Dallas, but plenty lobe just north of that; night major lobe SW into
Gulf (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``Steve, I was glad to publicize the WNAM DX tests in advance on my
World of Radio program and in my WOR iogroup. I did hear it myself as
detailed in my published logs at the time, but did not make a
recording. I would appreciate a QSL, for reception via the N8BTR
remote if not direct to Enid OK, which I also accomplished. If this
does not meet your requirements, I understand. Thanks for doing the
tests! My equipment for direct reception: NRD-545 receiver and 100`
E/W longwire; also DX-398 with internal antenna for directionality.
Best wishes, Glenn Hauser`` Reply:

``Thanks Glenn, I appreciate the report! You are confirmed and I am
mailing a QSL card to your attention this week. Hopefully it doesn't
freeze to the Interstate on the way down. The morse code within the

** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0725 UT, dash and YXL, 500-watt NDB
at Sioux Lookout ON, had not been audible for several nights with
northerly propagation suppressed. It`s my #1 Canadian, but now two
slightly weakers are also JBA:

351 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0727 UT, dash and YKQ, 500 watts at
Waskaganish, the only QC I sometimes get, and:

382 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0729 UT, dash and YPL, 1000 watts at Pickle
Lake ON (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 1190, Jan 28 at 0733 UT, ``AM 1190`` non-ID and
weather, lo -21 and hi -14. Wow, really deepfreeze, must be northerly.
NRC AM Log shows only station on 1190 deliberately IDing that way is
CFSL, Weyburn SK, U2 10/5 kW. Temps are not as bad as if they were F
instead of C, and closely match forecast for Weyburn. Supposedly
nothing but northward at night, don`t you believe it. I was checking
1190 for anything in Spanish as ``La Ley`` which someone asked me to
ID, nonesuch listed in US or Mexico (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. See MALI

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 28 at 0237, S9+40 of dead air in English? from RHC
where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9700, Jan 28 at 0231, S7/S9 sounds JBM, in Spanish.
What`s really happening, I think: RHC with dead air, atop much weaker
CRI in Spanish making a SAH, as scheduled via Kashgar, East Turkistan
at 00-03, and seems // 9590, Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Jan 28 at 1939, RHC in Kriyol, S8/S9 undermodulated,
also 15140 S9 vs windhowl. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 13630, Jan 28 at 2125, discussion in American English, so
must be CRI relay, S3 direct. Stops at 2130 interrupting discussion
and after a brief pause resumes with CRI IS and opening French. This
is deliberate, not a mistake. All English broadcasts last an hour and
start at top of hour, but gotta get French on when it start. HFCC
shows continuous 1930-2230 for CIRAF 53, 100 kW at 111 degrees; first
semihour in Portuguese, last hour in French (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Wed Jan 28 at *1500, another weekly
Oklahoma Security Net, opened by YL WSHM692, counting 12345, 54321.
Her signal and others quite weak, and altho calls uttered fonetikaly,
not sure I have copied all accurately. Compare to last weeks Jan 21 &
14 and previous log reports. After above call, she mentions once one
other, personal? Like KMYU4JS?? Rollcall:
WQYW443 Beckham County;
WQZT582 Broken Arrow, answered;
WQSY836 where? Byng per Don Moore;
WNPV700 Durant, answered;
WQYW883 Moore, answered JBA;

non-adjacent county;

WNCH624 Tulsa;
WNBE830 Jefferson City MO, answered.

Completed at 1507 till next week; any others? At 1508, WPFY721
contacts WNBE830. This was all totally routine, despite seeming
`emergency` ice/storm conditions. Only today with temp to exceed
freezing might we venture out, but decide streets are still too
hazardous. Enid got 11.5 inches of snow, plus/minus depending on
source, but not freezing rain and never any power outages for us
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Jan 28 at 2302, REE dead air at S7/9+10 into
Maryland SDR, the ME channel still defective, no one noticing at
Noblejas??? Fortunately, we don`t need it as the 9690 for N America is
funxional for weekly token English, S9+5/20. 17715 is JBA, 17755
JJBBA. I listen to the first third, when the guy is mainly speaking
with his heavy accent: at least we cannot doubt we are listening to
Spain. Some of his misprons: ``colleeded, creesis, launch`ed, fattal
shooting``. Annoying continuous musical background, and too many long
Spanish clips during the `English` news. If we understand that, we
don`t need the English, and if we don`t understand it, we don`t need
the Spanish! After domestic and international news, 2320 about cinema
and TV awards (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002+, Jan 28 at 2257, VOT not off the air IS & ID in
English, S9+25/35 into UTwente. Next check at 2358, already off,
failing to append any extraneous German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

to copy details, but ID ``This is Analytic, out`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 13845 & 12160, Jan 28 at 1717 UT, WWCR still off the air, no
signals. Ron Trotto refers us to `Ask WWCR` on website for more info
about the situation; my notes:

It`s the second broadcast in January, till further notice due to the
weather. Four of us are here presently; two stayed overnight. This is
#604, with Brady Murray and Zach. Recorded Saturday 24th when there
are already several inches of snow, with more snow, sleet, freezing
rain expected for 24 hours more. Giant storm across the US. More ice,
rain expected. Reggie and Greg are also in. Don`t want to drive
anywhere. Below freezing for a week or two, not going to thaw. Concern
is ice, bringing down trees, powerlines, extended period without
electricity. At least getting this broadcast done and on website.
Transmitters are water-cooled, so without electricity the cooling
water stops, freezes, damaging transmitters [if on the air]. Plan to
keep everything in good shape as long as we can, with generator,
heaters outside. May run out of supplies.

If delay returning to air, it`s due to weather or could be due to
repairs taking place. Snow is not nearly as bad as ice. Doesn`y take a
lot of ice to damage phone lines, which are a lot like the struxure of
our antennas [rhombix]. Already
even today at 10 am had a transmitter go down, making horrible noise.
Main blower had somehow moved. Engineer Phil has never seen that
happen before, two belts torn up. Phil got it repaired in 45 minutes.
Not clear if weather caused, not very cold inside that building. You
and Reggie did a fair amount of work today, clearing road. Not
expecting anyone, but a broadcaster did come in to record. Two big
trux were about to collide, then came back. Video footage shows almost
nobody driving, just some tractor-trailers, or with plows on front.
Focusing on main roads. In 24 hours expecting final burst of snow,
then bitter cold. As much as 20+ inches of snow predicted. Putting
this out to let folx know, if website still up, long duration storm.

At 11:38 into show, one other topic: Chris got a call saying that 7
MHz frequencies were not performing as usual, but 7490 mornings was
heard in China close to Mongolia, QSLed, SINPO 43444, incredible. 7490
starts about sunrise. Really excited to hear from China. Will sleep on
couch or whatever we have to do. Ask WWCR is a biweekly presentation
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 880, Jan 28 at 0758 UT, Mexmx, 0800 break for ID in English
as KJOZ Conroe-Houston, Latino Broadcasting, back to Mexmx. No mention
of FM. Not religious, at least not now. A few minutes earlier I was
hearing KRVN NE instead on 880, but none of it now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
