** BRAZIL. 11780, Sept 25 at 0330, RNA is off; Mark Coady hears it
after 1100 and thinx it may be back to 24/7 but I think it still stops
circa 0300 = local midnite; and I never hear it on my bedtime
bandscans circa 0600. So when does it sign on? There are also reports
that it takes a mid-day break (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13740, Sept 25 at 1359, RHC Spanish making >1 Hz SAH of about
64 fades per minute vs other open carrier prior to China Plus relay.
CRI undermodulation does not come up until just before 1401, while RHC
continues mixing with `Sonido Cubano` music show until it`s cut off
the air at 1404:45*. So another good 5 minutes of self-collision,
Commies vs Commies; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Aoki/NDXC
and EiBi say 13740 RHC is via Bejucal site; 13740 CRI via QuivicÃn;
yet Aoki misses RHC on 13700 which has to be the same site as 13740
when it mixes leapfrogs. EiBi says that one is Bejucal (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7465, Sept 25 at 0329, anti-Christ pirate Station
YHWH on new frequency ex-7470, S9 but as usual undermodulated, about
``mighty Yahweh`. Tnx to tip from Walt Salmaniw a few minutes earlier.
Had been on 7470 for longtime, and I also had him recently after 1800
on 11490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 25, Sept 25 at 1423 UT, KWTV OKC seen for the first
time on its repack channel; indeed the first of any OKC or OK station
I have caught. It`s color bars, with gray scale across the bottom;
KWTV TEST across the middle; and also below that a small bar with a
dot bouncing back and forth from left to right to left. Every 4.14
seconds it hits the left edge producing a beep. Wonder what the
purpose of that is?

Labeled KWTV 25 DTV 9-3. This is much weaker than KWTV still
funxioning on RF 39 as 9-1 and 9-2; still on at 1554 but by now is
dropping out a bit. Still on at 1905, but mostly below Good decode
level. It probably would not have been solid earlier without
considerable area tropo this morning (such as RF 11, KSWO-HD DTV 7-1
Lawton, and many Bad UHF signals). Does anyone know a timeline for
completion of KWTV`s repack to 25? And how about the other OKC market
stations, notably KAUT ``43`` still on RF 40? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. UNIDENTIFIED. 521 kHz, Sept 24 at 0640 UT, barely audible
beacon tentatively as ORC. Not in Hepburn`s NDB list on any frequency,
and nothing similar near 521 (it could have been plus/minus 1 or 2
kHz). Ideas? Bill Hepburn replies:

``Hi Glenn, That must be ORC Orange City, IA. It "was" decommissioned.
Looks like someone turned in back on again. It still has an FCC
license:

http://aeronav.faa.gov/afd/13sep2018/nc_64_13SEP2018.pdf

I'll re-add it to the list. Thanks, Bill``

FCC shows 521.51000 kHz, 25 watts. Sounds familiar; I did log ORC
earlier this year and reference to another listing, still there:

``521 kHz, April 8 at 0635, ND beacon ORC --- NOT listed on this or
any frequency (including 260/261 in case it`s second harmonic) nor any
similar fuzzy call near either, in dxinfocentre.com --- but it IS

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search Sept 24 at 0638 UT:
936*, 837(2); at 0643, 882 and 846(presumed TP Kiritimati).

TA JBA MW carrier search Sept 25 at 0552-0600, on R75 by 9-kHz steps 1
kHz below the channels in USB, so I can detect telltale 1 kHz tones:
936, 882, *855(2), 846(TP?), *774(2), 747, 729, 684(vs WSCR IBOC),

** CUBA. 11975-12025, Sept 24 at 0009, big dirty overmodulated signal
of RHC 12000 can be heard splattering out over 50 kHz range;
something`s always wrong at RHC.

11840, Sept 24 at 0011, this RHC is S9+10 but suptorted modulation;
wiggle that patchcord! Also audible are the parasite carriers on 11830
& 11850. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

15730, Sept 24 at 0013, scanning up the 15 MHz band, it`s as good as
dead until at the top I run into this S9+25! RHC French signal, really
the OSOB and SSOB. What a waste of spectrum. But it too has suptorted
modulation. Wiggle that patchcord. SAWA RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** HAWAII. 15000, Sept 24 at 0045, no WWV, while WWVH is in well
enough to copy the propagation semi-minute: YES, unlike WWV which has
been stuck at Sept 18, WWVH has current info for Sept. 23: Solar flux
68; planetary A-index 13; K index at ``two thousand one hundred``
September 23 was 2; no storms past or future. Well, by now she should
utter the K for 0000 Sept 24. At 0047 promotes listening to WWVH by
phone with number (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

0023 sign-on in Spanish of Voz de la RepÃblica IslÃmica de IrÃn, NA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1948 monitoring: confirmed Sunday September
23 at 2145 the 2130 on WRMI 7780 --- but *also* on unscheduled and
stronger 9955! Supposedly at 2130 Sunday there is `Coming Home`. Also
confirmed UT Monday Sept 24 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast, and on WBCQ
5129.84. Also confirmed after 0330 UT Mon Sept 24 on WRMI webcast and
at 0343 check on 9955, poor.

Expect to have new WOR 1949 ready for first airing UT Tuesday Sept 25
at 0030 on WRMI 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Sunday Sept 23 at 2200, this WRMI had been // 7780
with surprise WOR simulcast until 2159, but now they split: 9955 with
`Wavescan` as scheduled, and 7780 with `Your Weekend Show`, the self-
absorbed Bob Biermann, now // 9395. 7570 is starting `VORW` with the
self-absorbed John J.---. 7730 is not on air yet. 5950 something in
Spanish, seems gospel huxter. Before 2200 it was in Italian.

7490v, by 2210 Sunday Sept 23 I find something I`d rather listen to,
on WBCQ, `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, but only fair signal, with music
from Ukraine, and usual clownish SFX.

9955, UT Monday Sept 24 at 0015, WRMI starting `Moderna` with Yadira
Escobar, Miami Cuban bloggess with commentary on the so-called
constitutional reform in Cuba, and acknowledging listeners in Mexico.
Averaging S8, and no jamming, oops! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 5055.75, Sept 24 at 0036, WWRB 5050 again tonight putting
out filthy parasitic spur at plus 5.75 kHz, also 5044.25 on opposite
side. Still on at 0243, much later than usual, with gospel huxtress,
and now I find a second-order pair of spurs at twice the separation,
circa 5038.4 and 5061.55; the lower one hetting 5040 RHC, which to
make matters worse for itself, is now undermodulated, and in addition
general splatter out of 5050 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN. 9700, Sept 24 at 0019, song and ID starting ``Thini``,
which I associate with Thai or Lao, but maybe extends to Kachin, as
now scheduled from RVA Philippines, secretly transmitted via SMG. S5-
S7 signal is very alike e.g. Romania on 9730, and nothing direct from
SE Asia audible elsewhere on band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** CUBA. 6000, Sept 23 at 1320, RHC Spanish is S9/S9+10 but just
barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13740, Sept 23 at 1405, RHC Spanish audio underneath CRI
English, two transmitters mixing about 1 Hz apart, but RHC finally
turned off about 1405:45*. Close enough for government work, only 6
minutes overlapping; remaining CRI relay has a big hum. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6965-USB, Sept 23 at 0031, old-style love songs at
S9 including ``With a Song in My Heart``, 0033 ``I Feel a Song Coming
On``, 0039 Wolverine Radio ID. Evidently tonight`s theme is the very
word Song in titles. It was not on at first bandscan circa 0020. Many
more logs here including playlist; on the air from 0029 to 0133:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,46187.0.html

Over time it seems that Wolverine has shown up on just about every 5-
kHz increment in the Pirate Band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11490-AM, Sept 23 at 1810, good thing my routine
bandscan slipped below 11500, for there is Josiah the YHWH guy with
usual rants, anti-Catholic at the moment; S7 fading to S5 but rather
undermodulated. Gone at my next check 1846. Generally very poor
propagation on bands above 12 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 5000, Sept 23 at 1318, WWV with long-outdated propagation
info dated Sept 18! Apparently stuck with this ever since, every hour.
Art Delibert, Maryland, KB3FJO, posted Sept 22 to HCDX:

``Are they testing us? WWV has been broadcasting an outdated
propagation report for several days, giving the solar flux as of
September 18 and K Index as of 1200 on September 19.

THIS MAY BE A TEST TO SEE IF ANYONE IS LISTENING, and if not, theyâll
shut it down.

Weâve had similar tests from other SW services prior to shutting down
â for example, Radio Australia a couple years ago went off the air
briefly, allegedly for xmtr maintenance; the response from listeners
wasnât strong enough, and they used that as evidence to shut down
permanently. The NIST website gives an email address of:
nist.radio@boulder.nist.gov
Does anyone have other addresses for them?``

Stephen Michael Kellat, KC8BFI, Ashtabula OH, replied on the WOR iog:

``At that point, tell WWV that you know they're broadcasting wrong
data.

Then you tell the NIST Director, Undersecretary of Commerce for
Standards and Technology Walter Copan that something is wrong at the
station. His top priority is said to be cybersecurity. Don't geek out
but explain why this WWV falls under "Critical Infrastructure & Key
Resources". He doesn't have a public-facing e-mail.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat with Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. He's
dealing with quite a bit about Census 2020 right now. KISS is
operative.

General NIST contact form is here:
https://www.nist.gov/about-nist/contact-us

General contact page for the Commerce Department is here:
https://www.commerce.gov/page/contact-us

If you think that this is an instance of Fraud, Waste, and/or Abuse by
the folks at NIST you probably should contact the departmental Office
of Inspector General who can take "Internal Affairs" types of action.
Their website is here:
https://www.oig.doc.gov/pages/default.aspx

And if you feel that WWV/WWVH/WWVB fall into the category of "Critical
Infrastructure & Key Resources", apparently Homeland Security has
multiple avenues to make suggestions to them such as perhaps having
their Office of Emergency Communications take those stations over.
Check out those possibilities here:
https://www.dhs.gov/contact-us
-- Stephen Michael Kellat, KC8BFI``

I`ve been trying to tell whether the same thing be happening on WWVH
at :45 past the hours; poor reception so far, but maybe not: at 1345
Sept 23 I think one of the dates mentioned had a ``twenty`` in it.

I confess also to subscribing to WWV prop info by e-mail, which has
continued updating. However, sometime last week a bunch of them piled
up and then arrived in a spurt rather than 3 hours apart (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Via Terry Krueger and Mike Cooper, here`s another story about Drumpf`s
threatened closure of the WWVs, local angle, but mentioning that the
WH petition drive fell far short of the 100K replies required
allegedly to get his attention, only 20K signatures:

After nearly 100 years, budget cuts could mean radio silence for
stations near Fort Collins
Kevin Duggan | Fort Collins Coloradoan | 15 hours ago
Radio station WWV has broadcast time and frequency standards from Fort
Collins since 1966. [and before that from Maryland]
Kevin Duggan, kevinduggan@coloradoan.com

Time might be running out for Americaâs timekeeper.

Proposed budget cuts could silence radio stations operated by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST, north of Fort
Collins that continuously broadcast the time of day. . .

Oldies music. The non-English versions do not sound like synthesized

7730, Sat Sept 22 at 2306, another WRMI with Alameda, now in Japanese,
recheck 2320 in Indonesian; 2341-2345+ in Tagalog with some Spanish
words such as ``versÃculo``, right up to 0000 when `Wavescan` starts.
So the various languages are not in 15-minute blox as first thought.

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1948 monitoring: NOT confirmed
Saturday Sept 22 from 1452 on 6190-CUSB Hamburger Lokalradio, the 1431
broadcast as monitored via UTwente SDR --- instead Chinese music, talk
for at least rest of hour; did not notice any change in signal later,
but some familiar CRI theme. Still going past 1530, conversation
intonation sounding like German, but not vocabulary, until 1534 ``auf
wiederhÃren``!? So there may have been some schedule change in China.

Alan Gale, England, reports at 1457: ``Hi Glenn, Well, I've been
checking 6190 since around 1200 UT and not heard anything that sounds
like them [HLR]. There is something on there at 1445, but it's very
weak and it sounds like a woman's voice and music, and it's in and in
AM only, so possibly PBS. Nothing at all on the Twente webSDR either,
so I suspect that they're off the air for some reason. Alan``

Recently it was either WOR or no WOR, rather than anything audible
from China altho PBS Xinjiang is scheduled in Mongolian long before
and after our time; and in HFCC I see that NHK direct in Chinese is
also on 6190 at 1430-1500, which I have also never heard via UTwente.

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Sept 22 at 0029, checked WBCQ webcast amid
`Alan Weiner Worldwide` at opportune moment since he was talking with
a caller about the hi-power project. The Continental 420-DM
transmitter has not arrived yet, undergoing tests at the factory.
Expected around November 1, and then will take another month to
install. The rotatable antenna external work is completed; now under
construxion are the ``internal`` dipole antennas within it. Some
photos of Angela and this are now at http://www.wbcq.com

Caller wonders how he can hear WBCQ in DRM. Since the transmitter will
be capable, Allan says they will experiment with it, but nothing
definite. Also says it will be ``compatible`` so can listen in AM at
same time! This is news to me as I have never heard or heard of DRM
being compatible with AM, i.e. both modes on same frequency at same
time. Maybe AW has it confused with hybrid IBOC?

John H Carver, Jr, in mid-north Indiana, monitored the whole show and
reports this week:

``Listening again on 7490 this evening and show started right on time.
Comments made during the opening theme suggested that the show would
be political this evening with the phrase ``moon bat socialists``
being used. Allan and Angela in the studio this evening. Storms in the
area and temps in the high forties in Northern Maine. Allan says
summer is over. Allan opened with the statement that he is very
disappointed with his generation and what they are doing in
Washington. Then switched to a discussion about religion which was
interrupted at 0006 with a phone call about Near Fest and looking for
headphones. After that back to the discussion of religion. Allan
states that there are two types of religion. One promotes peace and
love and one promotes war. Implies that Muslims are Satanists.

Phone call from Freddie at 0017 with comments on pictures he's just
seen of Angela. Says Allan has a beautiful wife. Talk of transmitters,
WRMI and Family Radio. Allan insists that the private shortwave
stations in this country are national assets. Says the transmitter for
the superstation is now expected in November.

Phone call from Dave in Indiana at 0036 with signal report and talk
about division in this country caused by congress. Urges that we vote
out the moon bat Democrats this next election. Says he's not in love
with the Republicans either but that they are better than the
Democrats. Mentioned socialist communists more than once. Then into a
mini rant about political and sexual correctness. Thinks the current
supreme court nominee should be approved and the allegations about him
ignored.

Phone call at 0050 from Ramsey. During this conversation Allan stated
that he knew that he and the superstation were being investigated by
the FBI. Said they were welcome to come to the station anytime they
wanted and look around. Says now that the superstation won't be on the
air till spring. March or May.

Reading of emails at 0056. Programming report from Robert stated that
Dead Frog Radio would premier next week after AWWW with a two hour
live show. A reception report from Mexico came in. Prayer at 0100.
Show was off the air at 0102 followed by some fill music and station
was off the air at 0105. A very subdued Angela this evening. John``

I didn`t quote John`s AWWW report last week in my own logs, but it`s
in DXLD 18-38 imminently (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
