** CHINA. CNR1 jammer hunt July 3 finds the following:

10550, July 3 at 1316, JBA carrier --- maybe not, unlisted

10960, July 3 at 1316, Chinese from CNR1 jammer

11440, July 3 at 1317, CNR1 jammer much stronger than 11460

12820, July 3 at 1349, CNR1 jammer in Chinese, S1-S2

12870, July 3 at 1349, CNR1 jammer best of all S4-S5.

No further WOOB ones found. The five above all check in EiBi as CNR1
jammers against Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12200, July 3 at 0558, RHC English is S7-S9 and still past
0602+, second harmonic of 6100; and 12200 is the SSOB! Somewhat
stronger than 11610 WEWN, everything else on 25m JBA carriers.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** NIGERIA. 11769.9, July 3 at 0558, no signal from VON here, nor on
7254.9 nor 9689.9; however shortly after 0600, Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria,
found it ``weak`` back on 7254.9 which I did not check again (Glenn

@qrznow @dxcoffee @amatradio #ham radio #hamr #swl #shortwave``

The broadcast is normally on hard-to-hear 5130+v WBCQ; on this
occasion maybe also on 500 kW 9330, but not mentioned by Tom. AW said
something about that previously, or was it last week?

Yes, an earlier twit from Tom publicized AW being on the show June 25!
So is this in addition to or instead of? (Glenn Hauser, 0010 UT July
3, WOR iog via DXLD)

Yes, tonight on http://tmedlin.com/video-2-2/

Gets to AW audio-only on the phone interview at 0115, at first very
undermodulated. And yes, now also on 9330, but bad distortion level,
then improving. At 0100, 9330 had switched from an AWWW playback to
WHVW feed, so I figured Amateur R Roundtable would not be on that.

So far it`s just about AW`s early pirate or ``civil disobedience``
radio days.

Silly me, I started out watching a W5KUB ``live stream`` of Tom
messing with the computer, until I read the fine print -- it was from
2016, which hardly qualifies as live now. ``Live stream`` naming
should be deleted after the fact.

Then I found the real live stream which was about 8 seconds apart from
9330. Later that had been reduced to only one second.

Among the info gleaned from what AW said on this interview:

WBCQ=6 is not full 500 kW power yet, but almost. Will be in a couple
of days. (This contradicts previous info from WBCQ that it had been up
to 500 kW for several days now.) ERP is almost 20 megawatts at 9 MHz.
The 200-ton Ampegon antenna is precisely balanced and can be moved by
hand rather than two 3 hp motors, very quietly. 9330 is currently
aimed 270 degrees true, toward Mexico and Central America (no, that
would be 240 degrees or less). It takes 2.5 minutes for the antenna to
rotate 360 degrees. Has TimTron hooked his ham rig up to the Ampegon?
Not yet. Tom would like to do that when he visit Monticello. The very
large final tube cost $ 80K. Another one for standby is on order. 5130
transmitter is #2. WBCQ property occupies 200 acres (earlier he gave a
smaller figure over 100). The Weiners live in a house ``down the
road`` and there is no RF overload problem at ground level from the
500 kW. Will have new QSL cards for the first time in 20 years. But AW
hardly has spare time to send them. Please include SASEs. The entire
interview lasted until 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, July 2 at 1932, WTWW-1 is still on night frequency,
not 9475. I hear that Ted is in a wheelchair, so may have mobility
issues getting to and from and around inside the station. But
shouldn`t it be remote-controlled for frequency changes??

5085, UT Wed July 3 at 0610, WTWW-2 is on again with the Pete Santilli
far-right talk show, plugging his survivalist food; guest on phone is

7300, July 2 at 1658 another JBA carrier, CNR1 jammer against RTI
until 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 11769.902, July 2 at 1650, VON surprisingly good in
English, S9+10/S8, discussing tourism in Africa on its favorite
new/revived frequency. No QRM here from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, East
Turkistan, as others have complained, scheduled all the way from 23 to
18 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SINGAPORE. 11795, July 2 at 1410, poor S3-S5 signal woman speaking;
intonation sounds a bit like German, but no words recognizable;
Aoki/NDXC shows it`s really Hindi! From BBCWS this semihour only.
Aimed NW from Kranji, we are *way* off-target for this. Not much else
direct from Asia on band except North Korea.

7355, July 2 at 1658, woman in Chinese?, VP S4-S5, KNLS? No, it`s
finished at 1500. 1659, continuous beeping mixed with music, signature
of BBC, maybe leading into timesignal when beeping stops at 1700:00
but stays on with programming. Aoki shows it`s really BBC Korean at
1530-1830 via SINGAPORE, altho Nippon no Kaze via Taiwan is also on
7355 at 1630-1700.

Pleased to be getting even this much signal from Asia so late into one

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 11600, July 2 at 1651, raspy tones of Brother

Kostinbord available 24 hours, 50 kW at 306 degrees to W Europe and
here we are beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 12030, Tue July 2 at 1645, Arabic talk but playing medieval
Christian choral music, S8-S5. It`s REE crusading to the Mideast at
1630 M-F, but well audible back here oppositely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** TURKEY. 9460, July 2 at 1653 nice strumming music, S9-S6, from VOT
Turkish service scheduled here 1600-2100, if they don`t screw it up,
500 kW, 310 degrees from Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIING

** U S A. 7505, July 2 at 0433, no signal from WRNO. Other reports
indicate it now turns off circa 0400 if it has been on at all, and
thus no more Chinese on and off until 1300*. `Grace for Today`, the
Chinese-language broadcast, still has a place on the website which
never gave any exact schedule info:
http://www.wrnoworldwide.com/grace-for-today/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, July 2 at 0546, WTWW-2 is on not with rock music, but
a far-right political talk show. Reminds me of one Ted ran for a while
last year, originating nearby in Tennessee; not sure if this is the
same one. It`s hard to copy what the host is saying despite bigsig
along with the 5072/5098 JBA spurs. But I make notes for the next few
minutes.

He has a YL sidekick talking at first, about Antifa, but most of the
time she just makes assenting noises. Topic is Portland, where there
was some kind of confrontation; ``crush them!`` Says program is
Sunday-Thursday and the third hour is coming up. He likes 3-hour
format better than 1-hour. Already at 0551 he says ``Be right back
after top-of-hour news break``. But then an adstring for questionable
products such as how to collect $ 1795 a month from the federal
government; somebody selling turkey meat; survivalist food stocking.

It`s the Pete –something- show, and at 0555 starting the third hour,
so either his clock is way fast or this is a playback. I thought the
Portland affair occurred several weeks ago but maybe this is something
newer? Deb Jordan is the guest(?) co-host(?). They go on to equate
liberals with communists; ``Portland is Communist Central``. Keeps
going right past real ToH with no ID break by 0603. 0609 plugs his
website preparewithpete.com i.e. Pete Santilli, selling emergency food
supplies for hefty prices; why not Walmart? Nothing there about a
radio show.

He doesn`t give a phone number but nevertheless takes a call, another
clue that this be an editied playback. Interrupted by some dead air.
``Communists have infiltrated our country``. Then refers to being on
WTWW (and no other stations mentioned), asking calls to 563-999-1479
supposedly at or via WTWW, but search on that exchange leads to
Muscatine, Iowa. I reawaken at 0650 just as he is signing off until
9:00 tomorrow = live at 0200 UT if referring to CDT zone. Then a VPN
ad as I turn off. Is there anything about this at http://wtww.us
website? Of course not! altho still featured is the long-gone `Dave
Ramsey Show` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, July 2 at 1653, no signal from WTWW-1, but weak S9-S6
vs noise level and just barely modulated on 5830. So once again Ted
has failed to make the night/day frequency change nominally at 1400,
and now it`s almost ``noon`` when 51 meters is not usable. A pity for
SFAW and PPPP. But it does qualify as both SSOB and OSOB, continuing
past 1701+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17774.994, July 2 at 1416, S9+20 of dead air except for some
hum; had not been there when I went by about 1410. So KVOH has come on
without modulation, perhaps with sporadic E boost. Next check at 1641
no signal at all when normally it would at least be detectable without
Es. About 6 Hz off to the low side, so we still wonder if it`s the old
or new transmitter having problems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 103.9 WBFM, July 2 circa 1630 UT on caradio, a weak gospel
huxter here where normally I hear nothing. No significant tropo
enhancement beyond marginal Level 1 per Hepburn map.

WTFDA shows one likely Okie, as in Osage: KOSG Pawhuska, 6/6 kW, 100
meters, ``SOUTHERN GOSPEL - THE GOSPEL STATION``

But always must also check Kansas, where we find KHYM, Copeland,
100/100 kW, 229m, ``SOUTHERN GOSPEL - PRAISE & ENCOURAGEMENT``.
Copeland is an insignificant town WSW of Dodge on US Hwy 56, except
for KHYM which has a bunch of translators in KS & OK,
https://khymfm.org/listen-near-you/
including 90.3 in Fairview near Enid, but WTFDA DB does not connect
KHEV with KHYM. In fact you will hear KHYM IDs there a lot more than
KHEV.

KHYM is almost exactly twice as far from Enid as KOSG, 276 km/171
miles vs 141 km/87 miles, but I suspect the 16x power differential
still makes KHYM more likely. Of course if there is a next time I
could try to match it to 90.3 KHEV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
