** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Sat Aug 8 at *1629, LRA36 comes on with
fast CW message I am not prepared to copy or record, 1630 into song,
1633 ID for `Corazón Antártico` Wed 11-13 LT show. This is the
well-publicized Saturday special supposedly starting at 1700 and
staying on for 24 hours. From previous experience we know to tune in
at least half an hour early for the runup, so I`ve been listening
since 1617 via Brazil remote which gets it at S2-S3. The best one,
Pardinho is not available, and Dan Robinson says it`s now by password
only. Usual fill of mostly songs, 1645 another canned ID; 1656 plays
the Morse code again and this time believe I can copy ``LRA36`` toward
the end of it. Then voice IDs in Spanish, German, English and Russian;
``Nacional presenta: Corazón Antártico``, starting a few minutes
early, into ``live`` mostly YLs, with G.C. of Esperanza Base, staff
credits, and more chatter. I have to switch to a different Brazilian
KiwiSDR at 1717, S1-S2 or S3 but more local noise. 1737 break for a
song and then more talk. Altho publicized as an SSB test as if that
were something new, it still has a residual reduced carrier, obvious
when downtuned to 15475-USB.

However, since 1700 I`ve been preferably listening to the LA Opera via
KUCO-FM webcast, this week the underperformed ``La Clemenza di Tito``
by Mozart, with a much better $ tereo signal. I would need much better
reception from LRA36 to try to understand and get anything out of what
they are saying, so enough by 1751 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. CNR1 jammer survey, August 8 from 1343, early
enough start to be thoro in the WOOB ranges before 1400*. Generally
JBA or JBA carriers except as noted: 16600 and stronger 16300 with
flutter; 15165 Chinese and fast SAH from VOA Thailand victim; 15130 vs
VOA Philippines; 14980, 14920, 14870, 13920 S9/+10, 13835; none just
above or below 13 MHz, unusual. The CW South Koreans inhabit.

At 1351: 12550 S8-S9, 12230 S6-S9, 12190 vs CODAR; 25m inband not
checked; 11460 & 11440 both S7-S9; 11150 & 11100 JBA carriers; 10820
S2-S3; none in the lower nines by 1357 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW, Aug 8 at 0614 UT, Enid`s only ND beacon, EI at
Woodring Airport, is back! I check for it every night, and only heard
occasionally OIN from Oberlin KS on 341. EI was first missing on July
23 so was off for a semimonth, 16 days (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2046 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday August 8 at 0130 on WRMI-1 7780, which has been restored to
air after power surge damage, but NOT on 9955 which is now shown on
the sked grid, rather a preacher, previous occupant of this time? so
maybe WOR from next week? As also shown on sked, WOR no longer on 5850
& 5010, which had been a prime early airing and the only one across
mid-America 315 degree azimuth, on 5850. As usual 7780 is poor here
but good to the NE remotes. Skedgrid shows blank spaces for System F
5850 & 5010 at 0130-0200 on UT Wed, Thu and Fri. The latter would be a
good replacement for WOR as soon as it`s finished. The bumper off our
former spot is for only 15 minutes, so after 0145 there is World Music
fill, such as the polka? at 0150.

WOR 2046 also confirmed Saturday August 8 at 1310 the 1300 on WRMI

** U S A. 17815, Aug 8 at 1428-1430+, open carrier/dead air, the OSOB,
has to be WHRI which is active here weekends only; own sked shows
so-called Angel 1 on 17.815 not until 1900 on Sat & Sun. Even this
might be an exaggeration like so many other imaginary entries. HFCC
shows it registered available 1400-2100 daily, 85 degrees toward
Africa. Angel 1 sked shows that service is supposed to be on 21610 at
this time merely with LeSEA music fill, where we have not detected it

** ALGERIA [non]. 13820, Friday August 7 just as I tune in RTA via
FRANCE via UTwente SDR, at 1827.5 English segment is starting, about a
female singer named Aishi(?). Good -60-70 dBm with self-QRM only from
the beeping. 1832 switches to general info about that American style
of music, jazz, with clips of ``Lewis`` Armstrong in ``Wonderful
World`` and ``Hello, Dolly``, and others from New Orleans. 1837.5 just
music. 1838.5 into Spanish, `Africa Hoy` about the Gran Museo in
Egypt. 1849 French ID as R. Algerie Internationale, music; 1851.5
brief Qur`an reminding God that it is Great; 1854 bit of Arabic talk,
pop music to 1859* chopoff. Maybe the Q was for vespers as Algiers LSS
was 1848, close enough? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. Correxion: the offset from 11780 to 11731 and 11829 is 49
not 39 kHz; fixed:

11731 and weaker 11829 approx., August 6 at 2346 suspicious blobs with
no readable modulation, but they happen to be ~49 kHz equidistant
from: 11780 RNA which is S9+20/30 and distorted; it has
been a spur-producer before. The lower one QRMs Romania in Spanish on
11730. Then I try to detect them on some S and N American SDRs but
cannot; even at Braslia 11780 is not very strong by groundwave (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 7730, Aug 7 at 1332, CNR1 jammer at S4-S6, confirmed as such
by // 13130 et al., shortly. Aoki shows SOH & jamming up to 24h on
7730, Mandarin except for diversion to the Cantonese hour at 15-16.
Still seems odd for anything but WRMI to be heard here. Fortunately,
when it is on evening and night, we never have any QRM.

CNR1 jammer survey, Aug 7 at 1336, mostly JBA to JBA carriers except
here S-ed: 13130 S5-S8, 13020, 12500, 12190 S7-S9 vs CODAR;

** GERMANY. At 1650 this Friday August 7, I remember that Uncle Bill`s
shows are now scheduled on 9670 from Channel 292, Germany, 16-18 UT
--- UTwente and e.g. Lisbon SDR have nothing but JBA carriers. At
least there is no CCI or ACI. By 1742 some music audible at both,
better at UTwente, but vs lots of noise level. UTw improving, -75 to
-85 dBm. 1750: at UTwente: Seems more splash from faroff 9685 Urumqi
bigsig than from 9665 Pyongyang. As I posted step by step on the WOR
iogroup. Bill Tilford replies:

``Thanks Glenn, We're going to give this one more try next week just
to exclude a bad day at ionosphere rock, if the results are similar
we'll then test a few hours later. We will be keeping our
transmissions on 6070 either way, this is a possible addition rather
than a substitute. --Bill``

Just now saw this at 2220 -- checking 9670 on UTwente, nothin but
noise. Glenn

``NEWS FLASH - REPEAT TEST OF 9670 TONITE!!
After conferring with Channel 292, we are going to do repeat tests of
9670 kHz tonite as follows:
2100-2200 UTC - From the Isle of Music
2300-0000 UTC - Uncle Bill's Melting Pot

Another program, Radio Waves International, will be in the middle at

** U S A. 7780, August 7 at 2156, JBA signal signifies that WRMI-1 is
finally back on air after a few days missing. Now I check WRMI FB:

``WRMI Radio Miami International
Yesterday at 11:44 AM · [EDT? August 6]

Dear WRMI Listeners: Earlier this week we experienced a severe
thunderstorm in the area of our transmitter site in Okeechobee (just
after Hurricane Isaias passed by). Our power lines were affected by
the storm. We did not lose power fortunately, but there was a power
surge which blew out some lights in our building and also blew out
some parts in our Transmitter #1 which operates on 7780 kHz. Our
engineers have been working on this for a few days now and have
replaced a number of components in the transmitter, but it still needs
more work to get it back on the air. In the meantime, we are
broadcasting all of our programs that are normally on 7780 kHz from
2000-0200 UTC on the alternate frequency of 15770 kHz. (This is
another one of our regular frequencies.) Both of these frequencies are
on antennas directed at 44 degrees. We will air these programs on
15770 kHz until we get the 7780 kHz transmitter back on the air, which
we hope will be tomorrow Friday August 7.

We are very sorry for this situation, but our engineers are working as
quickly as possible to get 7780 kHz back on the air. This transmitter
is normally on the air 24 hours per day, seven days per week, and has
been on this schedule for over a year now, so it really needs a bit of
downtime for technical maintenance. Thanks for your understanding.``

``WRMI Radio Miami International
5 hrs · [ago as of 2340 UT Aug 7]

Good news! 7780 kHz is back on the air. Our engineers Don Frish and
Harry Robbins have been working on this for a few days now, and it's
back in operation. Thanks for your patience everybody``

While I`m on disgraced FB, any other news from WRMI? Yes:

``WRMI Radio Miami International · July 14 ·
Longtime listeners to WYFR shortwave (the station that was here before
WRMI took over in 2013) may remember Evelyn Marcy, who was for many
years the assistant to Dan Elyea, the WYFR Station Manager. We are
sorry to report that Evelyn passed away this morning due to
complications from an operation. A number of Marcy family members have
worked at WYFR and/or WRMI, including Evelyn's husband Ed and her sons
Scott and Todd. Scott currently works as a control room operator at
WRMI. Below is a photo of Scott and Evelyn at one of our WRMI
Christmas parties.``

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Aug 8 at 0000, WBCQ webcast starting
`AAAWWW` with traditional version of ``WTO``; interjecting that ``its
time to get nasty``. Starting topix are: radio matters: early history
of ham and broadcasting 100+ years ago; the AT&T/Bell phone monopoly;
0022 lamenting living in a credit economy; 0023 call from Mr Mike in
Massachusetts that the Near-Fest for October has been cancelled ---
hamfest in NH, I think, morphing into COVID-19 discussion past 0030.
0039 AW says they are ``quadri-casting` on 7490, 6160, 5130 and 3265,
so I check them on the Rockport, Maine remote and indeed they can all
be heard well enough, so I listen on 3265 for a while till it cuts me
off. Exact frequencies not measured. More phone calls: 0040 from
Ramsey, not heard from in a long time; 0046 Kevin in Ohio, first-time
caller but long-time listener; is a fan of Ken Durchinsky(?) the
preacher just before on 7490 who thinx WINB is on 9625, and also of
Hal Turner just after AAAWWW; 0050 from Tony who hopes A&A will appear
at the next Winterfest, but Allan doubts it will take place; how many
SW transmitters does WBCQ have? Six, which means there is only one
extra when all are on the air. 0055 switches to email, Jason in
Halifax who disses Bell Canada and CBC; Chris in Connecticut where the
power is still out. Just a bit of time left for overt vote-for-Trump
urge; quick prayer and JIP Turner 0100+ already underway.

I`m not making this up, as John Carver matches with his notes:

``Tonight's show started on time on 5130, 6160 and 7490. They're using
the old version of WTO this evening. Allan and Angela in the studio
opening with some very political comments and then going into stories
about radio in the twenties and thirties. Then into talk of
telephones. Difficult to get a good signal on any of the three
frequencies this evening. Again an agitated Angela.

Phone call at 0022 from Mr. Mike to tell us that the fall Nearfest has
been cancelled. After that Allan announced that they were also
broadcasting on 3265. He also said that the superstation was working
and airing the WLC programming.

Phone call at 0040 from Ramsey. Another phone call at 0046 from a
gentleman thanking them for being on the air and stating how much he
was enjoying the program. At 0050 a phone call from Tony Straka asking
when they would next make an appearance at the Winterfest.

Reading of emails at 0055 and closing prayer at 0059. Program was off
the air at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7780, August 6 at 0100, WRMI-1 is still OFF, as it was four
hours earlier, so a WOR airing is missed. 7780 still2 OFF at 2353 Aug
6 check and at 0200 August 7. What`s wrong? If not back soon, this
could be a problem for WORLD OF RADIO, which somehow is scheduled by
WRMI on this frequency more than any other, in fact half of the 12
airings, even tho it`s aimed NE missing most of North America west of
the east coast.

** VANUATU. 11835, August 5 at 0620, R. Vanuatu YL talking, intonation
seems English but could be Bislama, and good modulation, better signal
than usual, S5-S6; 0628 music, 0630 ID as ``Radio Vanuatu`` --- so for
hard-liners insisting on a ``definite ID``, I have now heard one on
this third harmonic of 3945. Might have been readable were it not for
heavy storm noise from SW Kansas approaching us. Also trace of
modulation on much weaker 7890 second harmonic, but as expected
nothing audible on 15780 fourth harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO SCHEDULE updated:

** CANADA. 326-MCW kHz, August 4 at 0644 UT, ND beacon dash and YQK,
which is 200 watts from Kenora, Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See
also U S A

** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, Aug 5 at 0231, anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH
is back after some absence, usual screed, S8-S9 except for some deep
fades. Tnx to tip from Eric Fetters-Walp on the WOR iog:

``[WOR] YHWH on 7470 as of 0220 UTC Aug. 5 --- Just checked 7470 kHz
and found Josiah back after several days -- if not longer -- of being
off the air. A noisy signal with lots of fading, but very audible
talking as of 0220 UTC here near Seattle, where we've still got full
daylight`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, August 5 at 0057, JBA music with flutter both up
and down and sidewise, S5-S6 at best until 0058*. Must be end of
Bengali semihour from SLBC as scheduled, despite current report from
Ivo that: ``Two of three transmitters at Trincomalle [sic] are out of
service. The transmissions of Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation /
SLBC and some transmissions of Adventist World Radio / AWR are
suspended, as follows:
0030-0100 on 11905 TRM 125 kW / 345 deg to SoAs Bengali SLBC
0200-0230 on 11905 TRM 125 kW / 345 deg to SoAs Hindi SLBC...``

The B19 sked in WRTH 2020 was different, continuous 0030-0230, the
first and last semihours in Hindi, 0100-0200 in Bengali, all on 11905
Trincomalee. No azimuths ever shown there, but if Ivo be correct,
Bengali segment is not aimed at Bengal, east or West! Anyway,
trans-polar to here.

Last logged here July 13, 2018 from *0030v. Before that when the sun
was a bit spottier, I tracked numerously previous *0115 openings with
variable off-timesignals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. MADAGASCAR. Ivo Ivanov reported: ``AGAIN NO
SIGNAL of MGB Eye Radio Special px on 7340 kHz August 3
0459-0557 on 7340 MDC 250 kW / 335 deg to EaAf Juba Arabic*-pls check
on August 4
1459-1557 on 15410 MDC 250 kW / 340 deg to EaAf Juba Arabic*-pls check
later today * including news in other languages:
English/Dinka/Nuer/Shilluk/Bari/Zande/Lutoho.
-- 73! Ivo Ivanov``

So I do check, 0500-0505 Tue August 4, no signal at UTwente on 7340,
just strong BBC Vatican on 7345. Aoki says Eye at 05-06 is on days 1
and 7 only. This had just been registered as an extra hour to deal
with COVID-19. Ivo replies, ``But no signal on both frequencies
Sat/Sun August 1/2 and Mon/Tue August 3/4`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. Correxion: 9685 was certainly not splashing upon
9830; I must have been referring to Spain 9690 getting QRM when
checked at same time via UTwente, no such ACI here:

``TURKEY. 9830, Wed July 29 at 2230 tune-in via UTwente, VOT English
is on today and VG, even without hum, but splash from 9685 which is
the orphan CRI ``Portuguese`` service of fill-music-only, via
Kashgar...`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 257-MCW kHz, August 4 at 0648 UT, ND beacon JYR, which is 25
watts from York, Nebraska, a new one for me? York is due north of
Enid, also on US 81, and east of Grand Island. I was near there for
the Total Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017 --- those were the days ---
and brief ``nights`` but I was not checking for NDBs (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) See also CANADA

** U S A. 7637-USB, UT Wed August 5 at 0114, encrypted alfanumerix
including ``fife`` for five in ``UR55W``, presumably paramilitary
mumbo-jumbo from CAP as previously logged here UT Sat April 18 at 0124
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. NEW WORLD OF RADIO times on WRMI. On August 3, the skedgrid
http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs
has been updated to show WOR UT Saturday at 0130 on 9955, but no
longer on 5850 & 5010, still on 7780 at that hour. Also new 7780
Saturday at 2300; all of this yet to be confirmed. The sked appears to
be in flux with blank spaces on System F, where we hope to get back on
5850 to the NW and/or 9395/9455 SomeSystem to the NNW for better
coverage across the continent. Still shows the same early UT August
5.

Several WOR times still displayed on the grid are long outdated or
imaginary, and we stopped trying to confirm them long ago:

Sat 1130 9955 - active for a while earlier this year
Tue 2130 System D - no frequencies
Wed 1030 5950 on System F, but frequency grid shows SMTV on System J
Wed 2100 System D - no frequencies
Wed 2100 7780 - active briefly earlier this year
Thu 2100 System D - no frequencies
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, August 4 at 0136, and August 5 at 0117 chex, WRNO
continues AWOL. Last time I logged it was June 10 at 0144, on but with
dead air. Certainly not tracked every night, but first noted missing
on July 22.

Strange website with moving views of snow-covered hills on homepage;
