Glenn Hauser logs May 29-30, 2016


** MADAGASCAR. 9480, May 30 at 0408 check, MWV/APR in English is VG, S9+20, which is normal for this non-North-American service failing to stop at the west coast of Africa; gospel-huxtering about something even worse than being a non-believer. How could that be?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sunday May 30 at 1845 check, JBA signal, but WWRB must be on, with presumed R. Munansi clandestine as has been running now for the third weekend. 15825 WWCR is also JBA now, as neither is getting any sporadic-E boost, too close to here for `long skip`. Wolfgang Büschel also reports a ``tiny S6 signal`` via an SDR in Michigan. But, Walt Salmaniw in Victoria BC, not exactly the target area, was getting a ``very respectable signal``. And Mick Delmage says, ``Hi Glenn, Just reading your post about the Ugandan programs airing on WWRB. At 1820 UT Sunday May 29 they are very strong here in Central Alberta. 73`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1827 monitoring: confirmed Sunday May 29 at 2330 on WBCQ 9329.885-CUSB, fair after usual opening loop of ``WBCQ The Planet`` IDs and ISes. Also confirmed UT Monday May 30 after 0030 on WRMI 7730, good (so its replacement by other stuff last week must have been an anomaly --- or a make-good for some paid program which missed its proper airing). Also confirmed UT Monday May 30 at 0301 on Area 51 webcast and presumably WBCQ 5129.9-AM, which was confirmed on air after 0330 with HRI. WOR also confirmed UT Monday May 30 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, good. Next:
Mon 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 1100   WRMI 9955 to SSE
Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE
Tue 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2100   WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Wed 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 570, UT Monday May 30 at 0541 UT, dominant signal is from WSW/ENE, definitely not SSE/NNW which would be KLIF Dallas --- hardly anything from there. It`s on Fox Sports Radio, and would you believe they are running about 5 minutes straight of FSR promos? Geez, how can anyone listen to that, especially by their super-hype staff announcer, oozing with insincerity? 

Anyhow this is very anomalous as I don`t normally get anything from such an angle at night on 570. Not many stations could it be, either Paducah or Las Cruces, and FSR is the latest known format of KWML Las Cruces NM, 5000/155 watts U1, not WKYX Paducah KY, ``Newstalk 94.3``. Perhaps a pipeline from KWML as it did fade down and out for a while, if not 5 kW day by accident. 0604 UT again audible with more FSR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 690, UT Monday May 30 at 0552 UT, Fox Sports Radio, same as already hearing on 570 KWML --- they keep talking about Oklahoma City, apparently post-some silly ballgame. 0556 UT breaks for Fox ``news`` minute capsule, then a bunch of national PSAs since no advertising has been sold. As 0600 UT approaches, I`m switching back and forth with 570, hoping to catch a local ToH ID; 570 is in a fade at 10 seconds before 0600 UT, so what does 690 say? NOTHING, just dead air where the ID should have been plugged in. And back to more FSR. 

From the outset I`ve been sure this is KGGF Coffeyville KS, due to strength and bearing, like we get before local midnight, its normal sign-off time with a patriotic song and Taps, 0500v UT (tho part of the time they leave unmodulated carrier on into the night, or all night?). Own website does not account for this
but does admit to being a Fox ``News`` affiliate. Instead of all the non sports news/talk shows, I suspect they went with FSR due to some sillyballgame concerning Oklahoma City of regional if not local interest. The Bartlesville OK cluster including KWON 1400 were supposedly buying KGGF but no sign of that yet on the KGGF website (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZANZIBAR. 6015, May 30 at 0343, ZBC with music and YL announcement, S9+10 and modulation seems good unlike some other reports (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 2319 UT May 30

** BRAZIL. 11925.236, May 29 at 0553, JBM carrier at S5, no doubt R. Bandeirantes habitually off-frequency+plus. Note it is not spelt: ``Bandierantes`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9935, May 29 at 0548, sounds like Greek Orthodox chanting, and since it`s Sunday morning, appears ERT has resumed this religious service violating Separation of Church and State, but really nice music. This is S7, and // 9420 is only S5, and not on 11645, which is sometimes in use instead of 9935 by this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9945.0-CW, May 29 at 1200, marker VVV VVV VVV P5O over and over. First thought is North Korea with that callsign; must be something new, as I tune across 9945 every day and haven`t heard this or any CW before. At 1201 goes to dits and then traffic, too fast for me to copy, but seems to entail a lot of numbers, altho not exclusively numbers. Note this V marker does not send a DE before the callsign, unusual. That`s papa-figure five-oscar.

Later I research this on the UDXF yg, and find several logs of P5O, but not yet on this frequency: 18980, 12235/12236, 6365. Logs go back to 2006y and it was soon identified as not NK, but a tactical call instead from 7CB, the Indonesian Navy, Belewan/Belawan. HFCC, EiBi and Aoki all show not a single broadcaster anywhen on 9945, so it all worx out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15240, Sunday May 29 at 1541, WWRB is not on yet. 1605 recheck it is on, but dead air on strong signal. Off to a great start. Presumably Ugandan clandestine Radio Munansi will air again at 17-19 UT, with something else filling until then, perhaps even modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15720, Sunday May 29 at 1410, S9+10, WHRI is on with Indy 500 stuff, but no race yet; plenty of commercials, retrospectives. 1605 recheck, now some guy is soloing the Star Spangled Banner, so inspiring that the crowd cheers and applauds before he can even finish it, how rude! Capped by the roar of a flyover by navy planes, not ground-based vehicles, off-topic! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZAMBIA. 9680, May 29 at 1400, JBA carrier after the ChiCom jammers go off, much like yesterday, presumed Voice of Hope, Africa, as scheduled, Sat/Sun 12-17 UT. However, Bill Bingham, South Africa was not hearing it today at 1158-1234, nor at 1426 recheck, presumed off the air. Maybe it was intermittent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALBANIA. 9855, May 29 at 0123, 0130, 0134 chex, NO signal from R. Tirana, unlike last night when they tried several times to keep the transmitter on air and modulate it. UT Monday is silent, so not until UT Tuesday will we know whether it`s fixed --- unless we check other daily scheduled broadcasts from same single transmitter, such as 23-24 UT Albanian on 9855 too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL [non]. 11764.7, May 28 at 0535 check and May 29 at 0105, no signals from SRDA Curitiba. It`s been off for some weeks, but since I never wanted to log it when it was on, didn`t note immediately when it vanished from its way-off frequency. Last log I find of it was April 7 by Carlos Gonçalves, Portugal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** JAPAN [non]. 13840, May 28 at 0535, NHK World Radio Japon in French is S9 here via MADAGASCAR, and running about 7 syllables behind // 11730 which is slightly stronger on the meter, S9+10; it`s via FRANCE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6940-USB, May 29 at 0122, hard rock, S7 vs noise peaks to S9; 0130 ID as Radio Free, Whatever. *Many* more logs:
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.4-USB, May 29 at 0134, hard rock at about S9, hard to tune but sounds ``best`` this far below 6925.0, cuts off at 0137*. A few other unID logs of it:
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, May 29 at 0048, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, and I monitor continuously from 0056, to find it does cut off earlier than expected, 8.5 seconds before 0100! = 0059:51.5*. So the ~6 second/24 hour slippage should proceed from there for a while.

[non] BTW, as I am setting up for this by tuning USB below 5980.00 in 0.1 kHz steps on the NRD-545, to get the best pitch to hear it cut off, I find myself playing ``Taps`` in honor of Memorial Day. It seems the four notes making up Taps are 100 Hz apart, and it sounds right in tune, as I step up and down between 5979.8 and 5979.5. Of course this can be done by stepping against any carrier, preferably JBA or unmodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, May 29 at *0114:13.5, carrier on from SLBC, and prélude starts 0114:46.5, but can`t hear any mis-timesignal a semi-minute later; skipped, or just too weak? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [non]. 13800, May 28 until 0527*, R. Dabanga with good signal via MADAGASCAR until it cuts off, leaving a trace of Nauen, GERMANY, whence the final semihour now emanates per HFCC; why change? May well be the same MAD transmitter which then takes up Japan on 13840, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. Clandestine via WWRB identified: See U S A: WWRB

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1827 monitoring: confirmed Sat May 28 after 2230 on WBCQ, 9329.9-CUSB, fair. Also confirmed UT Sun May 29 starting at 0323 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, poor in noise level. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15240, Sat May 28 at 1522, start checking for the weekend-only African service of WWRB which could start as early as 1500, but not really yet. Next check at 1612 it`s on with African music, good signal and a song mentioning Uganda, but no announcements, no monolog from Dave, just segués to more songs at 1616, 1627, 1632.5. 

I try again at 1656, only to hear the music cutting off and on at the rate of about twice per second, bad feed. 1658.5 stops to dead air; 1659.2 different music and WWRB YL canned ID; 1700:18 intro music to mystery Ugandan clandestine, like heard last week, and 1701 national(?) anthem, Uganda song. 1705.6 starts talking about Uganda in probable Luganda language, never any English.

At the outset, 1612, I compared 15240 to neighbor 15825 WWCR, and found the latter much weaker, in fact JBA! Still so at 1700, while WWCR 13845 was fair, and 12160 very good. Last check at 1817, WWRB has weakened and WWCR has strengthened, more or less even now. Perhaps due to the vagaries of a wandering sporadic E patch, and there had been some typically deep fades. 

As for its success, I asked Bill Bingham in South Africa if he could hear it, and checking during the hour after 1800 today, not at all, not even a carrier. WWRB frequency slightly on lo side but I don`t get around to measuring it; After last Saturday`s broadcast Wolfgang Büschel commented:

``WWRB on exact 15239.976 kHz at 18-19 UT on May 21. Facts: WWRB Morrison TN, Tennessee USA, distance TN to Uganda 12,700 kilometers,
very long distance for 100 kW power, but no curtain antennas of 20dB gain registered yet, only log-periodic antenna there
805 LPH 18/36.5/32.2/16.7/1.4/13.2/200
and rhombic long-range antenna of
902 RH 155/68/40
and bad adjacent channel selection, covered by 500 kW powerhouse from TDF Issoudun to similar target ERI/ETH Horn of Africa.``

Still no word from Dave about the identity of his Ugandan program despite repeated requests; nor anything on the WWRB website about it, tho the frequency has been corrected from 9370 to 15240. Should be another airing on Sunday.

So I do some more searching, starting with the tentative name I copied before, Monasi --- and fortunately, Google asks, ``did you mean Radio Munansi``? I sure did! Here`s its website:


From recent news items, it`s obviously anti-Museveni, and anti-Hima and Tutsi clan. Contact address: 7035 Laurel Cyn Blvd # 15333,
North Hollywood, CA 91615 [Cyn = Canyon].

Don`t see anything about SW broadcasts, but they do have podcasts. Here`s About-Us:

``Radio Munansi is a community radio station that seek to stimulate, educate and entertain our audience, to reflect the diversity of the local and world community, and to provide a channel for individuals, groups, issues and music that have been overlooked, suppressed or under-represented by the current Ugandan government.

Radio Munansi advocates for peace, social and environmental justice through independent media and programming neglected by the mainstream. We embrace diversity, tolerance of others` opinions and freedom of expression. Radio Munansi celebrates and promotes the creative, cultural and political vitality of the local community.``

I sent them this on their contact webform:

``I have been hearing your broadcasts via WWRB in Tennessee, two weeks ago on 9370, last week and this week (Sat/Sun) on 15240 kHz shortwave. I`m in Oklahoma where the signal is good enough, but I wonder if you have had any response from Uganda yet? I don`t understand your language, of course, but enjoy the music, and am interested in your mission. Do you ever broadcast any segments in English? If so I haven`t caught them.

Best wishes

Munansi? Sounds familiar. Yes, it was part of Radio Lead Africa programming, as in DXLD 16-12:

``UGANDA [non]. Here's a stream of Radio Lead Africa:
A reason for not hearing IDs might be that they broadcast material of other stations. Titles of the musical pieces/programmes are displayed next to the stream, at the moment: "Dr Kiyingi's Q&A on Radio Munansi, October 20th 2015 - YouTube". No English heard here. 73 (thorsten hallmann, March 17, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Thank you Thorsten for the update! A reminder that Friday (UT), from about 0255 to 0359, Radio Lead Africa will again be on 5910. The good news is that I have noted this week that Colombia (5910+) now routinely signs off just before 0300, so RLAM should have QRM-free reception. BTW - Radio Munansi's contact info is North Hollywood, CA (Ron Howard, California, dxldyg via WORLD OF RADIO 1818, DXLD)``

We think that R. Lead Africa is no longer on the air, itself, but the South African site would certainly serve Uganda better than Morrison! 

5050, UT Sunday May 29 at 0040, WWRB is on, nominally only weekend evenings now, lo-fi gospel huxter audio breaking up, on S9+25 signal; 0127 gospel huxter outro as 
in Covington, Georgia, phone 770-784-0703, ``till next week at same time --- shalom!``. But then at 0130 another --- or same Yahwah show re-starts, evidently by mistake, as cut at 0131.5 to WWRB YL canned ID, and 0132 ``Wonderful Words of Life`` theme for Word of Life broadcast as heard one week ago.

Yes, it`s YAHWAH, not YAHWEH! -- take that, you EJOMites at WMLK! Above website confirmed, with nothing about WWRB or any SW broadcasts; seems they have 40 videos available which say it all.

Speaking of WMLK, Richard Langley, NB reported on May 26 in reply to my previous non-log of them on 9275: ``The last posting on their Facebook page, dated 3 May, says: "During the high stress testing some of the components failed! This type of testing will determine the strength, the veracity of all components being tested." I guess they are now waiting for parts`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 15720, Sat May 28, since I`m checking up on 15240 WWRB, I also keep trying 15720 for WHRI, which has registered this frequency for three days only, May 27-28-29, 14-20 UT, 250 kW at 315 degrees. This obviously coincides with the Indy 500 carace on Sunday, but nothing heard today at 1522, 1612, 1700, 1817. Others did report some carace on Friday. WHRI, HQ in South Bend, always broadcasts these things, and we did catch something earlier this month. As if they had anything to do with gospel-huxtering. How many racers, assistants, or spectators in the stands will be killed or maimed this year? What a stupid ``sport``, accomplishing nothing except endangerment by going round and round in ovals, and not really getting anywhere ASAP.

7385, May 29 at 0029 as I tune across WHRI during a break, they ask for 1 IRC in order to send out a program schedule. IRCs are being phased out, don`t they know? Lotsa luck in redeeming any they get (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11580, May 29 at 0103, tuning across WRMI, I double take as it sounds like Dead Gene Scott, but whew, not // 6090 where PMS is pontificating. WRMI sked shows Harvest Time at 0100-0115 UT Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** VIRGIN ISLANDS BRITISH. 14193-USB, May 29 at 0112, contester calling QRZ without bothering to mention his own call! But making many contacts with US stations. I tuned here after hearing a pileup on 14198-USB, where they don`t give his call either, just their own! Eventually the DX station does give call VP2VAZ, and says listening 5-up. Immediately, W4GBB calls him on 14193 and does so repeatedly, despite some other hams saying ``5 up``. An AC9 doesn`t get the message either. 0120, a fuller ID as VP2VAZ, on Tortula, BVI, and also gives QSL manager which I don`t copy. Has a German accent, and even makes some contacts in German. QRZ.com shows he is Reiner [sic] Lies, and QSL: 
http/qrz.com/db/DL2AAZ 
which leads to a ham of the same spelling, in 38239 Salzgitter, Germany, who has also operated all over the Caribbean (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZAMBIA. 9680, May 28 at 1400, very poor S2 signal with some music, audible once the CNR1 jammers go off after their 1400* timesignals, i.e. the only thing left, Voice of Hope - Africa, on its weekend-only 12-17 UT schedule, presumably long-path to here. Bill Bingham, South Africa confirms it`s successful today, and well heard there with no CCCCCCI even before 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17470-AM, May 28 at 1253, JBA carrier, and still at 1417. Meanwhile, very little has been audible within the 16m band, i.e. at 1253, just some 17580 Cuba, but not 17730, and WRMI JBA carrier on 17790. No stations listed on out-of-band 17470 in HFCC, Aoki, or EiBi, but likely a CNR1 jammer against another new frequency of Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Propagation News – 29 May 2016

This past week was more settled geomagnetically with the K-index generally staying around zero or one. This was thanks to a lack of solar coronal hole activity and the associated high-speed solar wind streams. The solar flux index declined from the high to mid 90s as large sunspot 2546 rotated out of view. This has left a rather sparse-looking solar disk with only one sunspot group visible. As a result the solar flux index is predicted to remain around 90 in the coming week. NOAA predicts the geomagnetic K-index rising again to an unsettled four on Monday and Tuesday.

Looking further ahead it doesn’t look good for next weekend’s HF CW National Field Day as plasma from a recurring solar coronal hole could push the K-index up to five. This could see the HF bands become noisy and maximum usable frequencies fall away.

Apart from occasional short-skip sporadic-E openings on 10 and 15m, the highest ‘money’ band for Field Day is predicted to be 20m, with 15m perhaps struggling to open to DX. Forty metres may give consistent openings around Europe, with DX being workable at night. Eighty metres may give good openings around Europe after dark, but is unlikely to yield much DX.

VHF and up propagation news:

Next week sees high pressure between Iceland and Scotland with low pressure over the near continent. This will mean a north-easterly flow of air from the North Sea. In the summer months, this can lead to extensive mist and sea fog along eastern coasts and give some good tropo conditions from East Anglia to Aberdeen and Lerwick.

This type of tropo depends upon warm moist air blowing off the continent and out across the cool North Sea to give longer DX paths to Denmark, for example. However, with a north-easterly wind it usually means dry cool air gets folded into the mix, and I suspect we may be limited to paths up and down the east coast.

Last week saw some excellent sporadic-E openings on six and four metres. Conditions on Wednesday extended from Scandinavia round to the Balkans and central Mediterranean.

For next week it’s not a good sign that there seem to be few suitably-placed jet streams, often involved with sporadic-E formation. They are mostly located over Spain and the Mediterranean and so a bit too far away.

EME conditions will improve next week with increasing declination and the moon at perigee on Friday.

Glenn Hauser logs May 26-27-28, 2016


** ALBANIA [and non]. 9855, May 28 at 0131, no signal from R. Tirana, must be off as propagation is OK for Turkey Spanish, 9870 at S6, 9770 at S8. *0133, Shijak comes on with hum, no program, then a trace of modulation but cut back off at 0134*; *0140:29 finally comes back on, and off and on with hum and off again within a minute, still off at 0148 check. Really having transmitter problems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. 14195-USB, May 28 at 0139, TI2CC is making quick contest contacts with US stations who are piling up on same frequency. What`s so special about TI2CC? Quite a writeup on his qrz.com page, with biography of Carlos Paez, how he`s a big contester, photos of his antennas, shack, and self. His exact location in CR is not given, just a P O Box in Miami for QSL purposes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 18090, May 28 at 0146, weak bubble jamming, 3 x 6030 against Radio Martí. I was checking the hamband, and found a few good USB signals, all from the US #4 call area, presumably sporadic E opening; nothing on 21 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 6059.79, May 28 at 0103, no signal from RHC yet, but a JBA carrier, presumably SRDA Curitiba, BRASIL, which Wolfgang Büschel had measured May 20 on 6059.78. I assume SRDA listeners around Brasil, if any, will be bothered by the het once RHC come on. SRDA is not really strong enough to bother much on this side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9315.03, May 28 at 0119, R. Cairo is S9+10 but suptorted in presumed Spanish.

9745.0, May 28 at 0125, R. Cairo is S6 in distorted Arabic.

9964.97, May 28 at 0127, R. Cairo circa S9 here, in other Arabic, not distorted, but undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 11645, May 27 at 0520, VOG is audible here instead of 9935, in Greek music and talk, but much weaker than // 9420; 11645 also has ACI from R. Dabanga 11650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.00-AM, May 28 at 0135, JBA carrier, no way it`s readable vs noise level peaking S9+15 (storms are just NE of here, but we don`t get a drop), but this thread says it`s Radio Illuminati
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935.46-AM, May 28 at 0136, JBA carrier beneath storm noise level of S9+15. This thread says it was He Man Radio:
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, May 28 at 0057, JBA carrier, so R. Chaski is on tonight and I will try to time its cutoff shortly; but retune at 0100:35, it`s already off, so must have been reset already quite earlier. Will have to monitor it continuously next time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, May 28 at *0114:10.5, with BFO on 11904-USB, carrier on from SLBC easily detectable, but too weak to copy the music and mis-timesignal about a minute later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** THAILAND. 9390, May 27 at 1242, R. Thailand English broadcast manages to modulate today, but really unreadable, very poor at S3-S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7425, May 28 at 0137, JBA carrier despite storm noise level, i.e. the Greenville leapfrog of 7305 over 7365 another 60 kHz higher. If conditions were quiet, would hear R. Martí audio already from 7365 transmitter, to be joined by Vatican audio from 7305 at 0144 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1827 monitoring: confirmed Thursday May 26 at 2100 on WRMI 13695, very good; also confirmed Thu May 26 at 2330 on WBCQ 9329.9-CUSB, fair. Also confirmed Fri May 27 at 2130 on WRMI 15770, very poor; 2130.5 on WRMI 13695, very good. Also confirmed Fri May 27 at 2330 on WBCQ 9329.9-CUSB, fair. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7489.98-AM, UT Sat May 28 at 0048, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner Worldwide` in progress; Pirate Joe on the phone. Also // 5129.9-AM and synchronized, but much weaker in storm noise level, which 7490 can`t overcome either. Can`t hear anything on 3250 if it`s on, just noise, while 9330 as usual during this hour is Blalock the Blaster. 

Tuned in just in time, since at 0053 they exclaim, ``God bless Glenn Hauser``, doing World of Radio [almost] since the days of CW; someone remarx that there are so many numbers in it that you have to record it. At 0110 Allan has some other program info: a special this Sunday only, at 4-5 pm ET [20-21 UT], just before `Marion`s Attic` on 7490, with the band Honey Radio, on a special called `Bright Cartoon` [not sure of those names as I only hear them once, and not recording]. TimTron is now co-host in the studio. At 0116 someone reports that 3250 is stronger than 5130 but noisier, so I try it again at 0118: yes, barely detectable on 3250.02 and seems to be synchronized, but not positive. 

At 0121, Allan recounts the WOR times on WBCQ: daily at 7:30 pm Eastern, except Saturday at 6:30 pm; also on 7490 Wednesday at 5 pm Eastern. Also plugs the `Just Right` show, Thursday at 9 pm Eastern on 5130, reporting on legalizing pot in Canada, which Allan endorses for everywhere in the US --- get over it! Someone is recording AW`s book ``Access to the Airwaves`` as an audio book which will be available for free download. After benedixion and some further comments, AWWW is over at 0132:40 as 7490 switches to Brother Scare (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12055, May 28 at 0054, very poor S3 signal with talk, music. Aoki shows two possibilities: FEBC, Bocaue, Philippines, in Wa; or CNR17, Lingshi, China, in Kazakh (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

LANGUAGE LESSONS
++++++++++++++++

GESSELSSCHAFT

That`s how BBC World News America at the kicker-end of their May 27 broadcast via OETA before 2230 UT (probably delayed from -2130), spelt one of the winning words in the big Spelling Bee. It repeated an hour later on OETA OKLA, and I was ready to tape and still-photo it, just to be sure. I may upload the evidence when I get a chance. It was on the screen for a good many seconds as Laura T. attempted even to pronounce it. As anyone with the least bit of familiarity with German should know, it`s really

GESELLSCHAFT

as frequently used in corporate nomenclature (not the definition proferred, something ``social``). I assume the kid who won really spelled it correctly, as also appearing correctly in a Reuters story about it via the BBC website. 

But WHY in an English-language spelling bee, are the two big winning words (and many others, presumably), GERMAN???? Yeah, I know, a case can probably be made that they are entering English usage, but this is really pushing it. Failing to capitalize this noun doesn`t ipso facto make it Englisch! 

If German is eligible, how about all the other languages. Don`t we have enough ``real`` English words to make up a bee? You wouldn`t need to speak a word of English, but only know how German orthography and pronunciation work, to get this right when you hear it pronounced; let alone some even more fonetikaly-correct languages such as Spanish. Where spelling bees are unknown (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
