Logs
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sept 11 at 1500 and later chex, LRA36
misses another Saturday broadcast, no signal into Brasil SDR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 25775, Sept 11 at 1546, no signal from RFI Swahili into
Kuwait or RSA SDRs, but RSA still gets S5-S6 on 21690 until 1559*.

I also check both for WMR Denmark on 25795, 25800, 25805, but zilch
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, Sept 11 at 0618, RHC English is S8-S9, easy copy in
routine bandscan, which means fundamental 6000 is running past usual
0600v*; yes, it`s S9+20/30 there. Midnight MUF from Cuba is hot
tonight; but no sign of harmonix on 12120=RTTY, 12200 or 12330. At
0631 check, 6100 is off but 6060 still on at S9+10/20 with horrible
intermittent humbuzz; 6165 S9+30 with lite hum and distortion.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11930 & 11860, Sept 11 at 0621, residual pulse jamming against nothing
are also propagating in the nightmiddle. SAWA.

11462, Sept 11 at 0623, also has S9+20 of dead air, no doubt Spy
Numbers transmitter at one of same sites as RHC & its harmonix, but
per EiBi sked 0454-0550 & 0854-0950 only on days 246 = UT Tue/Thu/Sat.
SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. As in last report, Mix Radio International planned
to be back with a new classical music broadcast on Friday or Saturday
evening. That`s confirmed on the WOR iog at 0125 UT Sat Sept 11:

``[WOR] Mix Radio International 6.880 MHz USB is quite loud in central
NC tonight with relaxing classical music (55545 with a small amount of
QSB). Doug, KA5ETS`` White.

6880-USB, I tune in at 0200, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR, while mainly
audioviewing Fahrenheit 9/11 on Youtube as provided by Michael Moore.
This time there are too-frequent ID breaks and requests for reports of
Mix Radio International WorldWide, by YL robovoice, so the music is
only in snippets despite the well-developed attention spans of
classical fans. Great for DX IDing, however, as some pirates
never/hardly ever ID. I note all these breaks but may have missed a
few more: 0219, 0223, 0227, 0230, 0235, 0242, 0248, 0257, 0308, 0311,
0318, 0320, 0334, 0341, 0345, 0351, 0353, 0400 until 0401* by when it
has faded to S5/S6. A few of the musix noted: Water Music, William
Tell Overture, Also Sprach Zarathustra (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11840, Sat Sept 11 at 1534, Station YHWH is on at S9
direct, usual earnest anti-Christ assertions. This time I beat Rick
Barton, AZ in notifying the WOR iog by only one minute, but he was not
hearing Josiah Elias until 1540 tune-in (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 13660, Sept 11 at 1529, RRI IS, 1530 opening Arabic as
scheduled this hour. Wasn`t sure of language at first,
Romanian-accented? Our SWBC bands will be even more vacant once RRI
give up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2103 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday September 11 on WRMI 9395, VG S9+5/10 into Maryland SDR.

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Sept 11 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of 'AAAWWW'
as I quickly confirm via Maryland SSR that all four are on air: 3265,
4790-, 6160-, 7490-, but still no SuperStition on 9330. From the
outset it's clear this is going to be another Biden-bash relating to
9/11 anniversary, Afghanistan, and COVID-19; the latter of which
however A&A admit they have got shot.against the "synthetic virus".
Yet Angela goes on her anti-vax rants making Allan sound reasonably
moderate. Annoying caller Freddie soon allowed to butt in. 0027
finally date stamp as 10 Sept YOOLF 2021. Then a call from Ryan who
asks what med school Allan went to? Did not, but as he frequently
asserts is "a man of science". 0031 says quadri-casting, asks for
emails.

[Allan likes to utter "kilocycles" as if it were the same as
"kilohertz". They are NOT; as a Man of Science, I know that
"kilocycles" by itself is meaningless, unless it is PER A UNIT OF
TIME, i.e. kilocycles PER SECOND, which is how Kilohertz is defined,
including the "per second" without having to specify it, otherwise
"kHz/sec" would be accelerating.]

Working on SS now. Got replacement tetrode about a week ago. Crate has
10 steel suspension springs, must be worth 5 grand. Tube sits in red
cradle. Going to get some fittings; warm up tube tonight. Filament
struxure is fascinating. Takes 19 v at 1000 amps = 19,000 watts. About
size of a large tomato can; unknown what kind of alloy, whole can
lights up and glows, takes 10-15 minutes to warm that filament up to
avoid short-circuit. Tube is water-cooled. 10 psi, 35-40 gallons per
minute, circulating thru anode sexion. Controls up to a megawatt of
power; losses tho is pretty efficient. At average modulation, draws
950 kW off powerline.

"FCC and other idiots out there will see their day in court." Etc.,
etc. 0054 checking email: Cosmikdebris from beach in DE reception
report; tomorrow evening, their 'Lumpy Gravy' thousandth episode 8 PM
ET on 6160- live from DE. Four minutes ahead of time, someone
complains that stream drops out at 53rd minute of each hour --- NOT
for me tonight! SS hopefully back on air by Monday. 0059 prayer.

John Carver's version: "Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160
and 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio. Opening talk about 9/11 and
the anniversary tomorrow. Phone call at 0009 from Freddie. Quickly
turns into some Biden bashing and Covid talk. Results in an argument
between Allan and Angela. Another phone call at 0028 asking Allan
where he studied for his medical degree. Then some talk about the
ongoing work being done to get the superstation going again. Talk
about how much power needed to heat the tube and how much water must
be pumped to keep it cool. Also a passing reference to a a veiled
threat to take the FCC to court over the WHRI sale. Long conversation
between Allan and Angela where Allan spends most of his time trying to
calm Angela down and rein her in. Reading of emails at 0054. Closing
prayer at 0059. Allan also mentioned that the superstation might be up
and running again as early as Monday. Program was off the air at 0100.
John, Mid-North Indiana" (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** FRANCE [and non]. Correxion: my chex for RFI on 11m band during the
15-16 UT hour in Swahili, 25800, should have been on 25775 as
registered in latest HFCC with 500 kW. I was thinking 25800 for 11m
but that`s the frequency allegedly in use by World Music Radio,
Denmark. It originally planned a frequency right next to RFI, but
escaped to 25800. Axually, HFCC Sept 10 shows it could equally land on
25795, 25800 or 25805, 2 kW due south. Anyhow, we know WMR is
inaudible into South Africa or Kuwait SDRs on 25800, while RFI has
stayed on 21690, presumably alone. But from now on, 25775 is the one
to check. Wolfgang Bueschel confirms that 25775 was not to be heard
Sept 10.

While we`re at it, anything else in HFCC on 11m? Yes, three, all
possibly 24 hours a day but more likely for local groundwave than
trans-oceanic:

26000, 50 kW, 306 degrees from Spaceline, Bulgaria to W Europe. They
register wooden frequencies all over the bands, just in case.

26010, 100 kW ND from Vatican, placeholder in the !IRDR! Disaster
Relief service, which perhaps beyond some tests, AFAIK has never been
activated, as if the world is not experiencing plenty of disasters.
Looks good on paper, tho.

26040, 1 kW ND from Berlin, Germany, probably experimental; only one
specified N = DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 10 at 2200, token English first ID in
Spanish as ``Radio Exterior de España``, then ``English language
service``; the other three also on, but all much weaker, 15520, 11940,
11670 direct. First, Justin Coe with a good roundup of news about
Spain. He said something musical would follow, but it starts at 2210
without introduction, sounds like modern classical music for wind and
piano (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 10 at 2159, VOT is JBA for English to N America
direct, totally blocked on USB by RTTY, but escaping that on LSB
tuning, it`s still unreadable S5-S7 because it`s just barely
modulated. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2103 monitoring: confirmed Friday
September 10 from 2030.6 on IRRS Shortwave via Italia AM, 918 kHz,
Villa Estense, following ID which cut off previous unID talk program,
as usual; VG S9+32 into nearby Noale SDR. Next:

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Sept 10 at 2158 and still 2214 UT, KLEY Wellington
KS in dead air at S7, 250 watt day power; looks like it`s on the way
out again. Had been on consistently since discovered Aug 14 in the
middle of the night at 0600 UT despite licensed night power of ONE
WATT, after having been gone for almost a year, i.e. just in time a
week before its license would have expired August 21 without any
activity. Now they can take another 11 months off? Why bother.
Cynically their return included illegal day power consistently at
night, music often audible vs KWKH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

TIME, i.e. kilocycles PER SECOND, which is how Kilohertz is defined,
including the ``per second`` without having to specify it, otherwise
``kHz/sec`` would be accelerating.]

Working on SS now. Got replacement tetrode about a week ago. Crate has
10 steel suspension springs, must be worth 5 grand. Tube sits in red
cradle. Going to get some fittings; warm up tube tonight. Filament
struxure is fascinating. Takes 19 v at 1000 amps = 19,000 watts. About
size of a large tomato can; unknown what kind of alloy, whole can
lights up and glows, takes 10-15 minutes to warm that filament up to
avoid short-circuit. Tube is water-cooled. 10 psi, 35-40 gallons per
minute, circulating thru anode sexion. Controls up to a megawatt of
power; losses tho is pretty efficient. At average modulation, draws
950 kW off powerline.

``FCC and other idiots out there will see their day in court.`` Etc.,
etc. 0054 checking email: Cosmikdebris from beach in DE reception
report; tomorrow evening, their `Lumpy Gravy` thousandth episode 8 PM
ET on 6160- live from DE. Four minutes ahead of time, someone
complains that stream drops out at 53rd minute of each hour --- NOT
for me tonight! SS hopefully back on air by Monday. 0059 prayer.

John Carver`s version: ``Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160
and 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio. Opening talk about 9/11 and
the anniversary tomorrow. Phone call at 0009 from Freddie. Quickly
turns into some Biden bashing and Covid talk. Results in an argument
between Allan and Angela. Another phone call at 0028 asking Allan
where he studied for his medical degree. Then some talk about the
ongoing work being done to get the superstation going again. Talk
about how much power needed to heat the tube and how much water must
be pumped to keep it cool. Also a passing reference to a a veiled
threat to take the FCC to court over the WHRI sale. Long conversation
between Allan and Angela where Allan spends most of his time trying to
calm Angela down and rein her in. Reading of emails at 0054. Closing
prayer at 0059. Allan also mentioned that the superstation might be up
and running again as early as Monday. Program was off the air at 0100.

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Sept 10 at 2158 and still 2214 UT, KLEY Wellington
KS in dead air at S7, 250 watt day power; looks like it`s on the way
out again. Had been on consistently since discovered Aug 14 in the
middle of the night at 0600 UT despite licensed night power of ONE
WATT, after having been gone for almost a year, i.e. just in time a
week before its license would have expired August 21 without any
activity. Now they can take another 11 months off? Why bother.
Cynically their return included illegal day power consistently at
night, music often audible vs KWKH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
