** TIBET [non]. 7414, Feb 15 at 1326, V. of Tibet again on off-frequency with Chinese talk under hum/roar from defective transmitter; stops at 1330, brief tone and off at 1330:15*. Since the hum/roar always goes off at the same instant as the variable closing of this transmitter, it`s clearly not jamming.
Then I look for same to appear somewhere in the 7500-7600 range. The lower part is obscured by overload desensitization from WWCR`s supersig with awful modulation boost on 7490, and there is some noise around 7536, but on BFO that sounds like fax.
Meanwhile, from as early as 1328, before 7414 went off, I had been hearing a clean open carrier on suspicious 7548, but it never modulated past 1334. Aoki lists this very frequency as:
7548*VOICE OF TIBET 1330-1342 1234567 Chinese 100 95 Dushanbe-Yangiyul TJK 06848E 3829N VOTi b12.
Wolfgang Büschel reports Feb 15: Re 7410 to 7420 kHz channel range at 1200-1330 UT. Some comments of defective 7413.9 kHz, TJK Yangi Yul? Yes, checked this disturbed 7414 kHz channel for the first time today.
Never before had noted such disturbance signal, originate from Yangi Yul site. For example noted 7595 kHz at 1251 UT today Febr 15, Radio Free Chosun in Korean language, with excellent audio quality from probably Yangi Yul site in Tajikistan.
Voice of Tibet noted on exact 7413.9 kHz centered, contained also approx. 38x BUZZ disturbance peaks all 20 Hertz apart on approx. 7413.5 to 7414.3 kHz range! I assume is only a single transmitter?? without real strong carrier`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Next: UT Saturday 0230v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB. And UT Sunday 0500 on WTWW 5830. But don`t expect to hear WOR at any of the previously known times on WRMI.

At 1424, however, weaker with a non-BS huxter, tho no jamming audible, presumably `Words of Life` as previously scheduled.
Jeff said 9955 would resume 24/7 broadcasting as a result, i.e. no longer breaking M-F 15-24 UT, so next check at 1517 it is again BS, not synch with 9980, so weal signal I hear on 9955 is not overload from WWCR, but now CCI from RFA Tibetan via Tinian and surely ChiCom jamming. This at 15-16 only, and RFI Chinese via Taiwan at 23-24 are currently the only 9955 conflicts per Aoki. As of 1800 UT Feb 15, already the afternoon in Miami, still no updated grid yet, two clix away from http://www.wrmi.net --- I`ve saved the previous one dated January 24 for fond memories of what once was.
What about http://www.overcomerministry.org/ ?

Still, it was a rare show on commercial radio, with intelligent talk on a wide variety of topix, and there was a huge audio archive built up over the years, but now searching ``Extension 720`` on the WGN website gets nothing! The archive should be preserved somewhere!
What happened? Searching on ``Milt`` got one significant hit:http://wgnradio.com/2012/12/18/wgn-radio-announces-new-weekday-lineup/

``Extension 720 with Milt Rosenberg ends its 39-year run on December 20 with a final retrospective show featuring notable moments, guests and previous discussions that have aired on this illustrious program.
"Milt has added another rich chapter to WGN Radio's history and we thank him for his service," said Jeff Hill, GSM/Interim General Manager of WGN Radio. "Though Milt will not be a full-time program host, he will continue to be a show contributor and have a presence at the station. We're also very excited to add two female voices to our lineup and to Chicago radio in Carol Roth and Turi Ryder."
Rosenberg added, "I'm thankful to my listeners and I'm proud to have shared almost 40 years with them. We attempted to provide intelligent radio featuring the movers and observers of history being made as well as programs on established history, the popular and 'high' arts, and the sciences from cosmology to sociology – all mixed with frequent forays into more light-hearted fare."
