** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1900 monitoring: NOT confirmed at newly scheduled time of 2230 UT Thursday October 19 on WRMI 5850. Instead, like last week, `Yeshua` show played instead, altho it is scheduled at this hour only on Fridays. A mixup in programming of System H vs posted schedule. Jeff White assures me that from now on WOR will be showing at this time on Thursdays. It should be good across North America on the 315 antenna, and improving into the winter with earlier sunsets. WOR 1900 confirmed Thu Oct 19 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.196v-CUSB, fair. Next:

** U S A. 7490.041v, Oct 20 at 0157, WBCQ music and carrier is wobbling slightly, unusual for this one. ID and cut to Brother Scare JIP at 0200, when carrier seems to become more stable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5810 & 11520, Oct 20 at 0051, WEWN remains totally off the air from both Spanish and English night frequencies. Still missing from 5810 at 1129 October 20. What`s wrong? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Oct 20 at 1653, KVOH blasting in at S9+20/30 but without any perceptible spurs or broadband noise field as it was suffering from one week ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 920, Oct 20 at 1105 UT, end townhall.com news, KVEL weather, atop the CCI at the moment, from Vernal UT. 5/1 kW U2, main night lobe aims NE, with a very minor sidelobe sorta thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1040, Oct 20 at 1108 UT, M&W talk in Vietnamese, with WHO nulled, making 28/minute SAH = 0.47 Hz. Still audible at 1122 UT. Figure it`s most likely the Dallas station, which is now KGGR, but its schedule shows nothing but English, not only now but anywhen:
http://www.kggram.com/schedule/
``Monday – Friday
Start Finish Program
Sign On 8:45 AM Great Gospel Music``
Only other possibility, and with ethnic format, is WPBS Conyers GA, which is 50 kW ND daytimer; 5.5 kW CH, NRC AM Log listed as ``Atlanta Radio Korea``. Ditto radio-locator.com but outdated entry for WPBS 1040 showing website http://atlantaradiokorea.com/ now goes directly to WQXI 790! So maybe the 1040 station has now converted to other languages, as this certainly was not Korean!
Atlanta sunrise today is 1147 UT, and official October FCC sunrise is 1145 UT (November: 1215 UT). So what is it doing on air already at 1108? CH would also require it to keep down to 5.5 kW for two hours after sunrise. There is no info about a PSRA for this in NRC AM Log or FCC Correspondence.
Altho not carrying it, tunein.com offers a clue for 1040 as ``Spice Radio``. But that`s old news. Here`s the clincher, from Wikipedia:
``In early 2008, it changed formats to "Spice Radio Atlanta" broadcasting with Desi/Hindi music and talk.
By mid-2009, the station was simulcasting with 1080 WFTD's "Atlanta Radio Korea" programming. The Korean programming of "Atlanta Radio Korea" was then heard exclusively on WPBS and dropped from WFTD which then started carrying Spanish language programming.
When Atlanta Radio Korea, owners of WPBS, purchased WQXI from Entercom and flipped it to from [sic] its simulcast of WSTR on December 15, Vietsong Media, owners of WFTD, purchased WPBS and has flipped the format to Vietnamese radio, as of January 1, 2017`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1330, Oct 20 at 1115 UT, ad for something in Kermit TX, and KCKM singing ID, then C&W music, dominating even the second-order KCRC Enid spur het, and KNSS Wichita. 12/1 kW U2, and October sunrise is not until 1300 UT (November: 1315 UT). I must conclude it is operating illegally with 12 kW ND day pattern; night pattern has a null toward Wichita and Enid. There is nothing about a PSRA in the NRC AM Log nor to be found in the FCC Correspondence file (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1710 kHz, Oct 20 at 1137 UT, screaming gospel huxter in Spanish (I think; can hardly understand a single word), mixed with other loud voices from apparent pentecostal service. Steady S9 signal but undermodulated. I am hearing this only on the R75 with E/W longwire, so no DFing; on the DX-398 tried first, I was only getting some pulsing whine, apparently from some local device. (At 1143 UT I note that 1680 KRJO with West Monroe ad is still in well.)
1710 still past 1140 UT, crowd responses, keeps going past 1200 UT with no pause or ID. I have been looking for this tnx to Terry Krueger`s log from Florida:
``1710 LOUISIANA (PIRATE) Radio Retén lo que Tienes, Bãton Rouge. 1014 October 12, 2017. Screaming Spanish male preacher and audience response, parallel live stream. https://www.radioretenloquetienes.com Thanks D. Crawford for the tip. Decent signal. Also in well around the same time on October 14. How long will this one last? (Terry Krueger, Clearwater FL, WORLD OF RADIO 1900, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Current true BR SR/SS times are 1210 UT/2328 UT. Website blatantly claims to be on 1710 AM and also 107.7 FM: Guess what, WTFDA FM Database shows no legal 107.7 anywhere in Louisiana. Address as: ``Iglesia La Nueva Jerusalen, Radio Reten lo que Tiene, Ministerio, Ciudad de la Verdad Monte de Santidad, 8290 A Siegen Lane, Baton Rouge 70810 L.A. [sic] Tel 225-394-3748, 787-909-6199``
``Tiene`` -- sic; are we being familiar or not? Program schedule is rather strange, showing mornings only on: Martes y Jueves 7 a 12 am (but this is Viernes).
The slogan derives from Revelation III:10, in one translation, ``I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown``. Crown? As in skull? I don`t wear any other one (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA carrier search: 783, Oct 20 at 0053, presumably Mauritania. Audible only on the R75 with E-W longwire. Checked lower band on 9 kHz steps offset 1 kHz with BFO but only this heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6071.0, Oct 20 at 0546, CFRX 6070 has a het exactly 1 kHz up; strange, never noted elsewhen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6165, Oct 20 at 1129 music, very poor with flutter, 1130 no timesignal but announcement. It`s either Thazin Radio, Myin U Lwin, Myanmar, 50 kW, 356 degrees at 0930-1430 in Burmese per NDXC/Aoki; or CNR6, at 1100-1605 in Chinese, 100 kW, 163 degrees from Beijing 491 site. VOV-4 Vietnam also uses 6165 but supposedly not at this hour. I am hearing only one station. No timesignal on the half hour might rule out Myanmar if they do one on their hourtop. WRTH says CNR6 is Voice of Shenzhou, or ``Shenzhou Easy Radio``. Are they both really on air at 1130? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
