** OMAN [and non]. 9500, Aug 22 at 0120,
RSO on correct frequency tonite with lite music! And Arabic comments, S9+20 but
sounds poor with undermodulation; also bothered by noise, apparently bleed from
9490 jamming; and crackle at least above 9508 and around 9545-9560, suspected

** U S A. 5110.0-AM, UT Sat Aug 22 at 0134, WBCQ must be back on
the other transmitter, not off frequency, and not CUSB, as `Allan Weiner
Worldwide` is running much later than usual, a sesquihour-plus. Very poor here
but good on almost synchronized // 7490, as AW is reading from the e-mailbag.
9330 is off. At 0139 his closing prayer to Jesus, but he always comes back with
more station comments: in a ``financial crunch`` as ``several clients have been
lost``. Plenty of time available on 9330, also 5110, and some on 7490. 0141 says
Art Bell 04-07 UT weeknites now on 7490 only ``can`t keep doing it unsponsored;
need to cover at least the electric bill``. (Art Bell website says local
sponsorship holes are at :28 and :58 past the hours.) 0143 he`s finished and cut
to Brother Scare on both 7490 and 5110, but soon turned off 5110 at 0146 check

KVOH remains spurless and back to normal except it`s noticeably slightly
off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1690, Aug
22 at 0153 UT, R. Disney YL DJ gabbing, so I check 620 and find that 1690 is 9
seconds behind 620. Disney still hasn`t unloaded two O&O stations we can
hear, 1690 KDDZ Arvada CO (address in Lakewood), and 620 KMKI Plano TX (address
in Dallas); the latter has been reported sold to the KSKY-cluster but must not
have finalized yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
