** BRAZIL. 11780, Sept 8 at 2147, once again RNA music is
undermodulated, suptorted but S9 fading to S3; only a JBA carrier on
6180 this early. Many 6180 stations but nothing else scheduled at this
hour. By 0057 UT Sept 9, 6180 is OK // still distorted 11780 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 730, Sept 8 at 0630 UT, as I tune in, a promo for CKDM
player options. That`s Dauphin, Manitoba, U2 10/5 kW. Night pattern is
supposedly a broad cardioid with a null due south right toward me, and
to boot, I am listening on the E-W-favoring longwire.

730 has proven to be an interesting DX frequency: only low-powers at
night in the US, as it`s a Mexican/Canadian `clear`, for CDMX,
Montreal, Vancouver, not to mention Dauphin in between. It seems that
XEX is no longer a factor: originally 100/100 kW ND, it can`t be
anywhere near that power any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 14670-CUSB, Sept 8 at 2142, no signal from CHU, and have
also found it inaudible several daytime chex when it ought to
propagate even under current conditions. 7850-CUSB is audible now and
better in the evenings. At 0048 Sept 9, 3330-CUSB is also audible, and
maybe a JBA carrier on 14670? I wonder if the higher frequency has
been down, as one of their frequencies has been out of order before
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 way-out-of-band jammer survey, Sept 8 at 1349-1400:
none in the 16s, 15s; 14850 JBA S4-S5 Chinese; 14700; 13835; 11150
S3-S5; 10920; 1359 9300 S5-S7, TS to 1400* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Sept 9 at 0046 check, R. Progreso is still absent,
kaput? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15340, Sept 8 at 2136, surprise, RHC Spanish is here instead
of 15370, S9+30 with contact info, overmodulated and distorted. Could
be a keypad punch-up error if RHC have such sophisticated equipment,
altho I vaguely recall RHC once used 15340 years ago and maybe still
in their database. Something`s always wrong at RHC; we`ll see if it
rehappen. // 13740 good modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 13670, Sept 8 at 1353, S5-S7 narration in
English: it`s CRI this hour, via Kashi, land of ChiCom persecution of
Uyghurs. Later at 1800 will be occupied by MWV in English which I get
on the caradio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EUROPE. 5780, re my unID JBA carrier here often in evenings, such
as Sept 2 at 0324, could it be Europirate Harmony Radio, if they are
on air all-night? Yes, per these NASWA Flashsheet logs:

``5780 PIRATE (EUROPE.) Harmony Radio, 0107, 9/4/20. A pretty good
signal tonight playing "It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That
Swing" by, I think, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. (Perry-Il)

5780 PIRATE (Europe.) Harmony Radio, 0257, 9/4/20. Instrumental music,
ballad, into a series of show tunes, ID into “I love Paris in the
springtime” and other show tunes. Poor – fair. Nice to hear a
Europirate this far West. (Taylor-WI)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [and non]. Uncle Bill Tilford`s reply to my QSL reports of
his specials on Channel 292 and on WBCQ, accompanying these eQSLs
http://www.w4uvh.net/showcase292eqslHAUSER.pdf
http://www.w4uvh.net/WBCQworksHAUSER.pdf
which have now been added as #98 and #99 to my QSL gallery:
http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html

``Glenn, Thanks for writing about us and for your reports, eQSLs
attached for the two specials, let me know if you want something for
the UBMP fragment. A few informational items:

-Channel 292 uses the English pronunciation (except for a long "a" in
Radio) for their IDs even in their full German language mode, probably
for marketing and branding reasons. When I first began with them I did
full Deutsch only to change later to conform with their usage.

-On WBCQ, the half hour before Camp Constitution is still an available
time slot. UBMP is an hour-long program, but I'm told that WBCQ
frequently uses the first half of it as filler in lieu of board audio.
It's not an official broadcast of UBMP, the full hour is Sundays right
after Marion's Attic on 7490 kHz (2200-2300 UTC right now). If people
are enjoying the half hour interlude in the meantime, works for
me.

The Sunday tx is not a good option on terrestrial where you live
during the summer months but should become practical as winter
approaches. Meanwhile you westerners have a special dispensation to
enjoy the webcast while it's there :) I like the Marion's Attic - UBMP
- Le Show sequencing too much to reschedule away from it.

-For Channel 292, 6070 and 9670 are apparently both in long skip mode
at night in Europe. When we scheduled the broadcast a couple of months
ago we had reason to believe that long skip would not become an issue
until October, obviously things turned out differently. 9670 even
landed in New England, and there are quite a few reports of the
special from Russia.

- There will definitely be Thanksgiving and New Year's specials on
WBCQ and probably a New Year's special on Radio Channel 292. We have
already had some correspondence from listeners letting us know that
they became interested in a new (for them) program or two by listening
to these.

Thanks for all you do for radio. 73,`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 9765, Sept 8 at 2153, Jesus song in African English,
announcer talkover, ``World Christian Broadcasting``, yet this is the
Portuguese/Brazilian hour of MWV; much stronger as always the
simultaneous Chinese hour to Europe! on 11610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW kHz, Sept 8 circa 1900 UT, ND beacon at Woodring
Airport, I haven`t paid attention to DFing, but from inside Enid to my
surprise, it`s almost SE, while the AP is almost due east. Circa 1915
I drive out east on US 412 to the airport turnoff due north of the new
terminal, and DF from there is due south; so 341 must be transmitting
from considerably south of the runways. One of these days I`d like to
visit it, if I have plenty of time and access, permission on
backroads. For now as a bonus I pick up some high-calorie takeout from
Carls Jr (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 8 at 2206, no signal at UTwente from VOT
English, another day off. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Sept 8 at 1354, K6FRC IDs over and over, JBA HIFER
beacon from Patterson CA, as occasionally heard despite published
power of only 1.8 milliwatts, and standard remark about whether it`s
continuous or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Sept 9 at 0059, still no WRNO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 850, Sept 8 at 0636 UT, NO KOA, like last night around this
time, leaving only something very weak on frequency. I`ve seen no
other reports of this, not even from Colorado. Perhaps it`s reduced
power so Aurorans would still hear it? Perhaps2 they`ve been off the
air only after midnight for maintenance? Indeed, it`s on with usual
blasting sicnal, UT Sept 9 at 0132 check with silly ballgame. If we
could get rid of all this storm noise, would be a golden DX
opportunity opening up 850 for DX. Will this continue? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VIETNAM [and non]. My observations last few days of VOV missing
from WHRI 7315 relays including English at 0000 --- nor any Spanish at
0046 Sept 9 --- are now explained by Jeff White on this week`s AWR
Wavescan, after quoting one of my previous logs of it wondering
whether that would continue under WBCQ ownership:

``We have information that Voice of Vietnam relays from South
Carolina, WHRI are going to be discontinued, most likely, as the
station is planning to probably eliminate its shortwave broadcasts
altogether, and it may do shortwave [sic] broadcasts to the United
States via some local AM and FM stations``

This presumably comes from recent virtual-only B-20 HFCC conference.

See whether any other broadcasts remain? WRTH A-20 English update:

0000-0030 daily NAm 7315hri
1000-1030 daily As 9840vni, 12020vni
1130-1200 daily As 9840vni, 12020vni
1230-1300 daily As 9840vni, 12020vni

2130-2200 daily Eu 7280vni, 9730vni
2330-2400 daily As 9840vni, 12020vni

``12020`` is particularly interesting, as we know it`s constantly way
off-frequency about 12018.9. From Aoki/NDXC its complete schedule is
now shown:

12019 1000-1030 VTN VOICE OF VIETNAM Eng Hanoi-Sonta 1-7
12019 1030-1100 VTN VOICE OF VIETNAM Ind Hanoi-Sonta 1-7
12019 1100-1130 VTN VOICE OF VIETNAM Jap Hanoi-Sonta 1-7
12019 1130-1200 VTN VOICE OF VIETNAM Eng Hanoi-Sonta 1-7

12019 1500-1530 VTN VOICE OF VIETNAM Eng Hanoi-Sonta 1-7

12019 2200-2230 VTN x VOICE OF VIETNAM Jap Hanoi-Sonta 1-7
12019 2230-2300 VTN x VOICE OF VIETNAM Chi Hanoi-Sonta 1-7
12019 2300-2330 VTN x VOICE OF VIETNAM Ind Hanoi-Sonta 1-7
12019 2330-2400 VTN x VOICE OF VIETNAM Eng Hanoi-Sonta 1-7

The x is not keyed but I think means deleted or no longer heard.

After 2300 UT Sept 8 via remote in S Korea, no signals heard on 12019
or 9840 --- axually that too was always off-frequency-minus.

Does WHRI continue relaying KBSWR in Spanish at 0100-0200 on 9605? I
suppose so, meant to check, too late now (Glenn Hauser, OK)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4940, Sept 9 at 0058, music is JBA maybe S7 between high
storm noise level [HSNL] crashes, so looks worth checking on TWR
Bonaire SDR: yes, like 3 nights ago, but not 1 or 2 nights ago, good
S8-S9 and soon into monolog by preacher in Spanish, starts saying he
is quarantined, right into biblical references. He keeps going with no
breaks past 0200, but his background noise surges whenever he pauses
even briefly: turn off the AVC!

We really need an ID or at least some clue where this is coming from,
so I keep half-listening until 0205 when that SDR bumps me off, but
MEGO, altho near 100% readable, I am *not* going to pay rapt attention
to this long-winded gospel huxter. Then try other SDRs: no good at DR,
Boa Vista, Pardinho, Santiago; and Bogotá won`t work. 0237 try Bonaire
again and get back on as he is *still* going, mentions Coronavirus,
etc., a bit weaker at S6-S7.

At 0259 suddenly stops sermonizing, NO ID!!! But over to YL plugging
the lamontanacolombia.com website again, some credits, and then starts
narrating `Capítulo 12` of something, mentioning ``Narnia`` several
times; hmmm? Back on at 0346; still going with dialog. Enough for now,
but it might keep going late into the night or all-night.

See my previous discussion under PERU or unID: it could be Christian
station Radio San Antonio, Perú, or something new established by
Ethnic Radio to evangelize natives in Colombia, Venezuela; but all in
Spanish so far, testing? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13093.6-USB, Sept 8 at 1354, 2-way in Spanish, noise,
whistling; like heard better, 5 days earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING

The Global Decline of Religion --- Giving Up on God
By Ronald F. Inglehart, September/October 2020. Foreign Affairs

``...From about 2007 to 2019, the overwhelming majority of the
countries we studied — 43 out of 49 — became less religious. The
decline in belief was not confined to high-income countries and
appeared across most of the world.

Growing numbers of people no longer find religion a necessary source
of support and meaning in their lives. Even the United States—long
cited as proof that an economically advanced society can be strongly
religious—has now joined other wealthy countries in moving away from
religion...``

** BRAZIL. 11780, September 7 at 2329, RNA is S9/+20 with suptorted
music, while modulation is OK on // 6180 but only S7-S9. Then full ID
not mentioning 6180, but 980, 11780 and a few more AM/FM frequencies
of R Nacional in other cities. I keep seeing logs of 11780 by others
taking no note of the awful modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 WOOB jammer survey, Sept 7 at 1355-1400: none in the
16s, 15s, 14s, 13s, 12s, 11s until: 11170 JBA carrier. By now it is
almost 1400 so will it cut off air as typical then? Yes (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 WOOB jammer survey, Sept 7 at 2336: None in the 17s,
13s, 12s, 11s, or 10s, but just in the current LUHF/MUF window: 14690
Chinese with flutter S3-S5; 14980 CC JBA S1; 15840 CC S2 vs buzz;
15870 JBA carrier; 16100 CC JBA vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7380, Sept 7 circa 2315, RHC English for Africa is still
AWOL; not on previously used 9720 or 11880 either. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Sept 8 at 0034, R. Progreso is still gone. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 9670 & 6070, Sept 7 at 2125, Uncle Bill`s special via
Channel 292 is in progress but no signals on these at UTwente; 3955
has a poor S6-S7, insufficient for easy listening; at this time talk
and Cuban music; 2133 FTIOM announcement; 2138 must have proceeded to
UBMP with banjo; 2146 John of VORW is a bit more readable mentioning
this Ch. 292 special; 2150 ``Betty Davis Eyes``; 2157 Bill`s closing
announcement has an echo, problem or SFX? 2200 brief German
announcement which still pronounces station name in English, and off.
By end was slightly stronger (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 389-MCW kHz, Sept 7 at 0611 UT, ND beacon DDP, 1000
watts from San Juan - Dorado (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Monday Sept 7 at 2203, REE English has not been
canceled: Alison Hughes is back, after hours of dead air on Friday.
Quick check on UTwente which altho reading S9+20, is not good for 9690
due to heavy ChiCom ACI from 9685. She`s interviewing someone stuck in
their apartment, quarantined I guess (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 7 at 2202, poor JBA S5 signal at UTwente; I
guess VOT is on but normally is blasting in to that SDR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 359-MCW kHz, Sept 7 at 0613 UT, ND beacon SDR, which is 25
watts from Snyder, Texas; tough copy with QRM, QSB; note there is a
SDY in Sidney, Montana, 100 watts.

281-MCW kHz, Sept 7 at 0620 UT, NDB DMO, 25 watts from Sedalia,
Missouri (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2050 monitoring: confirmed Monday
September 7 from 1800:42 on IRRS 7290-AM via Bulgaria; tune-in at 1755
to weak carrier; 1755.4 cut on stronger carrier; 1758.8 cut on
modulation of rock song; 1759.9 sign-on falsely claiming this is in
reduced-carrier SSB mode best tuned in synchronous USB; Feature Story
News headlines, then WOR. Continues OK past 1805; recheck closing to
1829:38 when I am cut off after ``...as I end with a ----`` [standard
disclaimer]. All this via UTwente at S9+20 with constant plus/minus 10
splash no matter what the bandwidth; but the 7291 RTTY warble is not
heard.

Also confirmed UT Tue Sept 8 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+15 at

** U S A. 7490.06, Monday Sept 7 at 2317, WBCQ playing African music;
o yes, UB announces Timbuktu, Mali, so this is a bonus broadcast of
UBMP, 25 hours after the original which I already heard Sunday at
2200. This has happened before, but I don`t think UB has mentioned it,
as cannot be relied upon. Sked shows Available Time Slot at 2300
Mondays but for only a semihour, so did `Camp Constitution Radio`
interrupt it at 2330? Anyhow it`s back to Bill after 0000 UT Tuesday
for FTIOM in its regular slot, by now VG S9/+10.

(7490), UT Tue Sept 8 at 0213 tune-in to Uncle Bill`s Labor Day
special `WBCQ Works` presenting his and other programs; for this at
the computer I have switched to webcast, which lately has been
slow-starting, but Larry has not terminated it yet. Now in ``Old Time
Religion`` gospel tune with parody lyrix, but I could not understand
the new title. Then some Weird Al, ``Dog Eat Dog``; 0223 over to Sir
Jack Scratchy of `Behaviour Night`; 0234 `Lost Discs Radio Show`. Each
plugs WBCQ and the times their shows are mainly heard. 0245
cosmikdebris reverb and Jane but I don`t hear a program name, 0258 UB
wrapping up offering special eQSL for reports to a gmail address I
missed. There will be another one of these around Thanksgiving (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, Sept 8 at 0015, 0033 chex, VOV is still
missing from WHRI relay when it should be in English, Spanish, so has
it been totally canceled? WHRI itself is still programming on 5920 at
0022; and by 0212 on 7315. I want to see what program sked now shows,
https://familybroadcastingcorporation.com/whr/
but website won`t display them any more, unless I am being misdirected
to wrong pages, where you may only search schedules if you enter all
the data correctly --- but they go nowhere. The streaming page of
Angels 1, 2 and 6 is also dead. Maybe they are winding down for the
big sale to WBCQ?

This page displays the new VOV logo! Yet schedule info is dated 2013!
It also says VOV was founded on Sept 7, 1945, so happy anniversary!
https://vovworld.vn/en-US/introsection.vov
Nothing found there about WHRI or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4940, Sept 8 at 0105, JBA signal at Bonaire TWR SDR, and
at 0337 JBA carrier; like last night, unlike Saturday night = UT
Sunday when Spanish gospel with no IDs was inbooming there. Bryan
Clark was also hearing it in NZ, and discussed with Mauno Ritola,
noting Colombian content, so related to LV Conciencia? But no IDs
either. They make no mention of R San Antonio, Peru, which as I
pointed out was active in August on 4940. Seems to me that Fuerza de
Paz would either be using the Peruvian or got it to agree to cede the
frequency. Bryan`s Sept 7:

``The apparently new South American on 4939.996 gave reasonable
reception here around 0630 to 0715 UTC today - I noted it weakly
around 0530 and followed it past 0800 but the clearest signal was
around 0645 when they had some form of radio drama. It didn`t seem
overtly religious in nature and the Latin rhythms heard later weren't
reminiscent of an evangelical broadcaster to my ears anyway.

Have attached an audio file in case you can hear something that
clearly identifies the station, so would welcome any feedback.
Mailing addresses in Costa Rica and Bolivia are given. Interestingly
my reception here in northern NZ was better than what I could find from
Kiwi SDRs in Bonaire, Colombia and Chile. 73, Bryan`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5010, Sept 7 at 0634, open carrier of S9/+10/20. Likely

** CUBA. 7380, Sept 5 at 2306, no signal from RHC English as
scheduled. I mistakenly reported same about 7385 August 29, but
believe it was not on 7380 either that date (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ISRAEL [non]. 9955, UT Mon Sept 7 at 0400, after some uncertain
switching, WRMI stays on air after WOR 2050, 4-pip timesignal, and
into ``English language news from Kan`` as of 8 pm on Sunday = 17 UT.
WRMI cuts 9955 off at 0403*, presumably continuing on webcast.
Newscaster is named O`Sullivan, a fine Jewish name (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** PERU. 4940, UT Sept 7 circa 0135, remotes in S America are getting
a JBA carrier but nothing more if it`s R. San Antonio or whatever had
a good signal 24 hours before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2050 monitoring: tuned in just too
late at 0059 UT Mon Sept 7 to 7730, to confirm whether went out at
0030; anyone hear it?

Confirmed UT Mon Sept 7 at 0130 & 0230, WRMI 7780 good S9+15 via
UTwente; at 0130 also WRN webcast; at 0230 also good on WRMI 5800.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 7 starting at 0306.4 on Area 51 via WBCQ
5130, S8 at Rochester SDR; delayed so Larry & Jane Will could insert a
bit from their `Lumpy Gravy` show last night, now when it would get
additional attention: Larry refers to the Kook-Watch he has been
publishing via the WOR iog, and something more he heard Sat Sept 5 at
1447 UT on WWCR 7490: `Remnant Ministry` calling for Bill Gates to be
executed! This goes beyond the bounds of Free Speech. Same show is
carried by WBCQ 7490 Mondays at 5 pm EDT; if Larry ever hears anything
like that again on WBCQ, he threatens to terminate the station`s
webcasting service which he is paying for. Resultantly, WOR lasted
until 0335.4.

WOR 2050 also confirmed UT Mon Sept 7 at 0330 on WRMI 9955: not making
it to Bonaire SDR or others in Caribbean, S America, nor Rochester.
But the superior one in Maine is getting it well, S7-S8, with lite
pulse jamming which seems to surge when WRMI fades. But it`s even
better here direct, S9/+10 with no jamming audible. Next:

distorted at S9+10; 11760 S9+10/20; 13700 S9/+10 but lacking spurs.
Beware, any aŭskultanto to 13700 as the sloppyrators may chop it off
at any time whenever they wake up or get around to it. Something`s
always malĝusta at RHC; and apologies if some fonts down the line
can`t handle Esperanto diacritix (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, Sept 6 at 0638, nice thumb piano music at S9/+10 from
R. Mali, good modulation and no QRM. BTW, Manuel Méndez confirms the
weekly English news segment was back Sat Sept 5 at 1850-1905; when we
would have to employ a remote. How`s the coup going? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 850, Sept 6 at 0648 UT, KOA Denver seems off! Something JBA
but no comparison to 860 KKOW or 840 WHAS; quite a contrast to 24
hours ago when KOA was blasting in with a Dodgers/Rockies SBBG; and
another one was scheduled for tonight. Unseems auroral conditions
where WCCO 830 is most obviously weakened; but 1160 KSL also from the
NW is only poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960, Sept 6 at 0152 quick check confirms The
Mighty Farty KBC has made its seasonal switch via GERMANY from 9925,
and now a VG signal for the UT Sunday 00-02 broadcast; think I just
missed Kraig Krist`s Forgotten Song spot if he is still doing that;
too occupied with the 4940 matter, i.a. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU [and non]. 4940, UT Sunday Sept 6 at 0100, via TWR Bonaire
KiwiSDR, good signal in Spanish drama, first YL speaking, then dialog
and also narration, music. Het from carrier on 4941 cuts on and off
occasionally; evitable by downtuning to 4938 in AM Narrow mode. 0107
gives website www.lamontanacolombia.com and song; 0111 starts
religious talk about La Fe, etc.

[Chasing this I have to forego what I planned to hear during the 01-02
UT Sunday hour, `Encore` on WRMI 5850, having remembered to check 4940
first; but will have another chance 25 hours later on 9455; and WRMI
grid shows a new airing UT Thursdays at 0300 on 5800, which I guess is
a repeat but could be a prepeat.]

I keep hoping for an ID break on 4940 but none between shows starting
and ending at odd times, nor circa hourtops. Could this be a new
Colombian SW station as implied by the following From Rafael
Rodríguez, Colombia? English version:

``NEW SHORTWAVE RADIO PROJECT --- It is a new partnership project
between the organizations ethnicradio.org and Fuerza de Paz; to bring
the gospel in native languages to Colombia and Venezuela.

ethnicradio.org, has supported the installation of stations in Bolivia
and Perú both in SW and FM, as well as recording studios for
indigenous communities.

Fuerza de Paz and his campaign “Colombia para Cristo”, has also
developed its work through radio in MW, SW and FM.

Additionally, for the medium term, they are working on the
reactivation of Colombian signals at 5.910 KHz and 6.010 KHz``

Attached screenshot shows something on 4940.041 kHz, at 0242 UT Sept
5, without further explanation --- it so happens that I had an unID
unlogged carrier on 4940 circa 0500? Sept 5. Along with the VOA
Africans on 4930 & 4960. Onlything in Aoki is the old R. San Antonio,
Perú. It seems to be missing most of the time but occasionally
reported, with a Christian format.

Back to the present Sept 6: at 0117, clips of ``I had a dream`` and
``sieg heil`` to intro next show, `Lecciones de la Historia` about
Babylon citing bible verses.

At 0120 I check my own R75 reception on 4940: JBA carrier, but the
intermittent carrier on 4941 is stronger. At 0136, Bonaire in synch
mode tuned to 4940.00 says its carrier -1.6 Hz, and steady. At 0142
het cuts on again as Lecciones show is terminating; music break; 0146
bible verse about Jeová, another song. 0152 intros a 20-minute
program. I suspend for a while at 0200-0300 in order to hear `Weekend
Radio` on WCLV webcast. 0300 recheck, 4940 is still S9 at Bonaire with
a song. 0325 I check again here, and now it`s JBA talk at S9/+10 vs
HSNL. Recheck Bonaire at 0345, now it`s JBA there, so much weaker it
should be some other station after sign-off, but none are known.

Idea that this 4940 might be a new Colombian is enforced by the
``Colombian content`` of that web reference which I look up later, to
find:

``Colombian Film written and directed by Lisa & Alethia Stendal

On a mountain in Colombia, paramilitary forces have Marxist rebels
cornered against a high ridge without food. In search of a way out,
the guerrillas ask an old friend (a missionary they had held hostage
and released some 20 years ago) for the number of a humanitarian
priest in hopes of finding someone to bring food to the mountain. The
missionary mistakes the priests' name for the head paramilitary leader
and inadvertently gives the guerrilla commanders the wrong number.
Through a humorous confusion two sworn enemies end up face to face in
an emotional encounter that unveils the very core of Colombia's
conflict and the journey each one must take to finally find peace in a
lifetime of war.

Sinopsis:

Película Colombiana escrita y dirigida por Lisa & Alethia Stendal

En una Montaña en Colombia fuerzas paramilitares tienen a un grupo
Guerrillero a corralado en una alta cordillera, sin comida. En busca
de una salida, los guerrilleros le piden a un viejo amigo (un
misionero que 20 años atrás habían secuestrado y liberado) por el
teléfono de un cura reconocido en la zona por sus obras humanitarias,
con la esperanza de hallar a alguien que les lleve comida a la
montaña. El misionero confunde el nombre del padre con el de un
paramilitar y sin darse cuenta le da a los guerrilleros el número
equivocado. A través de una confusión llena de humor, dos enemigos
terminan cara a cara en un encuentro emocional que destapa el núcleo
del conflicto en Colombia y el recorrido que cada uno debe tomar para
finalmente encontrar la paz en medio de una vida llena de guerra.``

The film came out a few years ago. Possibly they were playing excerpt
from its soundtrack. Stendals are a familiar name, as the plot seems
like the life story of a missionary relative of theirs, Martin
Stendal, was the force behind the still dormant Voz de tu Conciencia
6010 and Alcaraván Radio 5910, but which are still slated for revival,
and in fact 6010 as Alcaraván was heard for one? night only as I
reported, last March 10 UT. No report of either frequency since.
Rafael Rodríguez had some contact with the stations as QSL manager.

However, Radio San Antonio, Ucayali, Perú has been reported recently
active on 4940, so tentatively that is what we are getting now, not
Colombia:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW9jooaoxlw
As received Aug 14, 2020 in Lima on 4940, ID right at the start.

As for the ethnicradio website RRR referenced, there is nothing about
the current matter, only one item from this year, in June, about R.
Chazuta, Peru:
https://www.ethnicradio.org/2020/06/radio-waves-in-chazuta-peru.html
which is nothing but an 18-second testimonial, also for Radio Logos.
Ethnic Radio is notoriously ambiguous about what they are axually
doing, while soliciting donations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800 & 5950, Sept 5 at 2352, both these WRMIs are running
SMTV: more confusion. #10 on 5800 is so scheduled, but #5 on 5950 is
shown as Overcomer on the frequency grid; but the 23-24 hour on the
TOM System C grid shows 5850! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Sept 6 at 0023, TONITO has just started on
WTWW-2 so I switch immediately to its $ tereo webcast: starts playing
`Downtown` since Bob Heil in Belleville IL is right across from DNTN
St Louis; and the rest is very familiar too as a rerun from last? week
featuring Les Larsen playing via his SD card on a Wurlitzer type built
by Alan/Allan/Allen/Alun/Alyn Organs. Last song is Que Sera, until
0054 right into Pink Floyd, The Wall (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
