** CHINA. 12035, Jan 20 at 0044, Chinese at fair S7 level, which is better than
most signals on 25m, including weak RHC and WRMI. HFCC shows this is not a
jammer! But CRI, 00-01, 500 kW, 200 degrees from Xian to SE Asia (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Jan 20 at 0105, R. Chaski, JBA
carrier until cutoff at 0105:39.5*, which is 14 seconds later that last check
two nights ago, Jan 18 until 0105:25.5*, now averaging 7.0 seconds later per
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Overkiller on expanded WBCQ schedules: see USA
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO
1861 monitoring: confirmed Thu Jan 19 at 2130 on WRMI 11580, good. Since WBCQ
has just expanded the Brother Scare hours on 9330, which TOM website vaguely
designates as ``24hr Mostly``, I`m a bit concerned that WOR will no longer be
appearing at 0030. But UT Fri Jan 20 I can still hear me on 9330.102v-CUSB, poor
signal on the R75; at 0045 check on NRD-545, S6-S4 vs noise level of S5.
Wolfgang Büschel was also checking various remote receivers in North America,
and could not hear 9330! Next:

** U S A.
9330.153v-CUSB, Jan 19 at 2101, WBCQ is unusually on the air at this time, with
Brother Scare! I bet he has been on all night and all day as I first noted past
0653. Still BS at 2304 check but faded to very poor level.
Checking the
Overcomer website: Altho it still shows all the deleted WRMI frequencies, and
among WWCR, on ``3.125``, it now shows for WBCQ:

Yes, 5129.8 WBCQ is also on now at 0046 Jan 20 with BS. Still at
0105, while 9330 is still with Blalock the Blaster during this hour.
I`m
not checking again until 0616, when I find BS still on 9330, but very poor, also
5129.8 VP; and 7490 is still on but with narration about Xmas and other
holidays, which I soon recognize as Jean Shepherd! At 0700 WBCQ ID and switch
7490 to TOM. Now at 0700, 9330 is occupied by huge S9+20 signal from Cuban spy
numbers as scheduled 4 days a week including Friday, and WBCQ cannot be detected
underneath it but probably still on.
Brief awakening at 1020, so I check
again: 5129.8 with BS; nothing audible on 7490; 9330+ with JBA carrier. At 1525,
1539, 9330 is still BS. As of 1725 UT Jan 20, there is nothing on the WBCQ
website about these expanded BS hours on all three frequencies!
Allan
Weiner had said he and Dr Becker would be broadcasting from the inaugural in
Washington ``all day`` Jan 20 on 7490 and 9330. 7490 of course belongs to WWCR
until 1600 and WBCQ is registered for 7490 not until 1900.
The ceremonies
start circa 1630. So check WBCQ again at 1653: 9330 is still Brother Scare! 7490
is on with a weak signal, music, not live coverage of the inswearing. O well. A
few TV networks are covering one of the most disgusting events in American
history (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490, UT Fri
Jan 20 at 0046, WBCQ with `Broad Spectrum Radio` at S9+25, but fading down
before finished. Sounds like Amy Goodman now in an excerpt from `Democracy
Now!`, report on commutation of Chelsea Manning`s sentence (so why prolong it
until May anyway?). Then James Branum quoting RHC website about commutation of
López. JB provided in advance these
``Abbreviated show notes: In this
episode…
1. News and Commentary about Obama’s last minute Presidential
commutations and pardons, including those of
* Chelsea Manning, the
longest held whistleblower in US history
* Óscar López Rivera, Puerto Rican
freedom fighter
2. The activist community’s response to the inauguration
of President Trump, including this weekend’s protests marches…
3. The
moral necessity of ongoing nonviolent resistance…

** U
S A. 6855, Fri Jan 20 at quick check 1021, WRMI with Ray Robinson speaking, so
must be a Wavescan segment, // much stronger 5850, rather than FG Radio as
scheduled. 7730 & 7780 are in BS now. Skedgrid shows System F at 10-11 both
on 5850 and 6855, i.e. WORLD OF RADIO Wednesdays at 1030 should also be on both
frequencies now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105,
Jan 19 at 2058, NO signal from WTWW-3. Others, 9930 and 9475 are nominal (Glenn

UNIDENTIFIED. 5755.00, Jan 20 at 0102, JBA carrier. No
broadcasters are scheduled here; could it be YHWH? Not on 5792 at the moment,
but earlier than he usually starts, and Ron Howard says he had shifted to 5790
when last heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
