Glenn Hauser logs July 7, 2020

** CHINA. CNR1 jamming survey, July 7: at 1335, 13530 in Chinese, S7 to S9+10.

From 1340: 13070 S7-S9; 12880 S8-S9; 11440 S3-S4 with flutter; 11150* JBA; 11100 S6-S8; 11070 S1-S3.

At 1358: 14500, JBA carrier.

Rescan the above ranges shortly after 1400: ALL above frequencies off.

At 1453: 11460, JBA Chinese.

*BTW: the local wideband noiseblobs I first complained about weeks ago, at approx. 360-kHz intervals in the 7-11+ MHz range are still there but quite a bit weaker than originally; no doubt OG&E has quit working on that problem unless I keep after them. One peak QRMs the 11150 above, and another is centered about 9395, bad news for hearing anything on WRMI-6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13766 & 13635 approx., July 7 at 1339, JBA spurblobs out of 13700 RHC, plus & minus 64-65 kHz, trace of F# tones, first time detected in weeks, but hardly up to par. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 1446 recheck still trace about 13635 while 13700 rates S9 to S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, July 7 at 1451, S9+20 open carrier already on warming up for CRI Plus relay in English, now restricted to only one hour from 1500. Unknown how much then managed to modulate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7290, July 7 at 1756, via UTwente SDR, checking IRRS Tuesday since on Monday at least half of the following hour was dead air, possibly all of it instead of WORLD OF RADIO --- did anyone hear it then, or try to? Open carrier on at tune-in, VG signal with usual QRM de 7291 RTTY and splashes from 10 kHz plus and minus; a few sex before 1759 cut on modulation amid Aïda theme --- which is not always to be heard at all; just before 1800 very brief sign-on and right into `Feature Story News` for 5 minutes, not just headlines, starting with Bolsonaro gets it, CV situation in Australia; 1803 sports segment. 1805 no program intro but a fan of Danny Doyle starts talking and eventually plays a song of his; very Irish. He died last August, so this is not news now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Doyle_(singer) Ireland, you know, is the real corporate HQ of IRRS, not Italy; tax haven?

1832 recheck, still modulating and `AWR Wavescan` is underway, same as heard earlier via Zambia, first item about past clandestines in New Hebrides/Vanuatu. Later about Gough Island, beyond Tristan da Cunha, whence we learn it`s pronounced Goff, as webresearch suggests,  even tho there are no inhabitants now to ask.  https://www.howtopronounce.com/gough Like ``cough`` tho one example is more like ``guff``. Recheck 1858 whether `WS` will get chopped off like Dan Roberts? Yes, IRRS sign-off at 1859, but only as Jeff is reciting the postal address in closing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11820.045, July 7 circa 2000, Arabic bits alternating with Qur`aning, JBA but sufficiently soporific to accompany my napping. This SBC always off+frequency plus (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12050, July 7 at 1402, WEWN Spanish frequency is S9 of dead air; by 1450 recheck now is modulating RCC stuff. English still AWOL from 15610 at 1924 check, while 15825 WWCR, q.v., is 20 over 9 at about same megameter distance, different angle clockwiser (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15825, July 7 at 1925, WWCR has sporadic E boost to S9+20, enhancing the #1 squeal, but wait, there`s MORE: Double audio at equal levels, not only TOMBS as scheduled, but some other gospel huxter aiming for children, including kidsongs about Jeezus. I compare to other WWCRs and other BS: 9980, WWCR-4 is blasting with Overcomer alone; 9455, WRMI likewise; not // other WWCRs, 12160 with political huxter, and 13845 with Dead Gene Scott; BTW, 13845 is relatively weak compared to 12160 & 15825, which does not make sense propagationally; must axually be underpowered.

But what is the second audio? At 2023 I concentrate on that for a while; maybe same program, closing with contact info including website several times, reallifewithjackkidd.org --- not sure about the Kidd as he never spells it. Also phone 877-777-2346, and P O Box 12, somewhere with ZIP 91709; 2025 into USA Radio News, which of course is also far-right, far-Christian slanted, a perfect fit.

91709 is Chino Hills, San Bernardino county, California. Since the other WWCR transmitters are otherwise occupied, could this be bleeding from co-located AM subsidiary, 1300 WNQM?

No program schedule at http://www.1300wnqm.com/ but does list programs for linkages without times at http://www.1300wnqm.com/pgm-links_wnqm.html but nothing resembling that described above.

Suddenlink search is smart enough to figure out it`s really this: https://reallifewithjackhibbs.org/

So direct look at it:

https://reallifewithjackhibbs.org/listen/
leading to what matches today`s very episode: ``Being A Christian While Being A Kid – C - July 7, 2020 - Colossians 1:9-14``

Those verses are about indoctrination, per my free NIV pocket ``The Way for Cowboys`` Bible handed out years ago at an Enid Expo home show. Of course, kids are religion-free until elders start implanting something. And thence to

https://reallifewithjackhibbs.org/stationlisting/
including, before I even get to Tennessee, filed between DC and Florida!:

``europe & africa
City      Station Frequency  Day & Time
Shortwave WWCR    15.825 MHz M-F 3:00 PM``
In Eu & Af you have to know to convert CDT to local time!

Never mind WNQM, not on the roster. Belatedly I check WWCR-1 program sked, and bingo, there is Real Radio, with Jack Hibbs M-F at 2000-2030 UT, so B.S. is the intruder now on 15825, not vice versa.

There is probably a pot dedicated to TOMBS on the audio mixer feeding #1 transmitter, which has been left open as well as the intended program source. Can it be that at 1300 WWCR Avenue, no one is listening to their own station? Then how can they expect anyone else to? I certainly would not unless I run across something wacko like this. Vying with RHC for SAWA status?

Paul Buch in California also noticed this double audio at 1905 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555-USB, July 7 at 1448, trace of talk i.e. WJHR Milton FL, seldom audible; much like the level of 15034-USB Trenton Military on hardly propagable band without sporadic E (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 27385-LSB, July 7 at 1930, pileup of freebanders on the most active frequency, with sporadic E regnant here and on regular CB channels, if not the 10m beaconband. One mentions ``on the shore of Lake Erie``; another, ``Kentucky``; at 1946, ``107, 14-14, Chicago ... 73s and enjoy your DX``. It seems the FBers have some kind of numerical ID system. Can anyone explain or even reference a roster? More such activity on 27375-LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
