Glenn Hauser logs June 30-July 1-2, 2019

** CUBA. 5040, July 1 at 0525, RHC English during mailbag is JBM and suptorted rather than often the best modulated outlet; 6100 is loudest S9+40 and slightly distorted; 6165 is S9+20/30 but sounds much weaker due to undermodulation; 6000 is S9+20/30 too by very suptorted. Wiggle those patchcords! At least all four frequencies are on; as the Cuban Fifth, 6060, seems gone for good. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 11769.9, July 2 at 0608, VON S6-S9 in presumed Hausa, ex 7254.9 and sometimes 9689.9. Is anyone ever hearing them on those frequencies now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Confirmed Sunday June 30 at 2146 the 2130 on WRMI 7780, VP.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 1 at 0130 still on WRMI 9395, S9+10, altho this airing had been erased from websked; and now also on 7780 as a separate playout a couple seconds behind, very poor in noise. The 9395 airing continues to be preceded by a strange ``Son-Power Radio on 5850, 7455 and 9395`` ID, which followed a rendition of the song ``Those Were the Days``.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 1 one hour later at 0230 on WRMI 7780, poor vs noise level.

Also confirmed UT Monday July 1 at 0301 on Area 51 webcast; and WBCQ 5130.37v which checked a bit earlier during JL was S9+10 including noise level. This week, superpower 9330 is taking the night off.

** U S A. 9330.00, late UT June 30, no sign of 500 kW WBCQ-6 this Sunday evening, but by 0030 UT Monday July 1, the other WBCQ is fading up a bit with Brother Scare on 9330.139V.

9330.00 is back by 0005 check July 2, usual bigsig, Allan Wiener on the phone from that hamfest in New Hampshire he always goes to, several weeks ago, someone else hosting his program.

Meanwhile `From the Isle of Music` has to make do with much weaker 7490+v, and much stronger webcast.

Meanwhile2, background info on World`s Last Chance, due to take over 9330 in one week, has emerged, tnx to Richard Langley on the WOR iog: 

``Southwest Florida Online - Sunday Morning News From LaBelle, Florida for Hendry and Glades County and the Lake Okeechobee region. Don Browne, editor. Friday, June 28, 2019

The newly constructed high power shortwave station and gigantic fully rotatable antenna system is funded by World’s Last Chance, LLC, a Wyoming corporation and religious ministry headed by Galal P. Doss, a former Seventh-Day Adventist and wealthy cosmetics company owner from Egypt.

Galal Doss has a track record of making bizarre prophecies, anti-Catholic videos, and claims the earth is flat (watch one of the organization's "flat earth proof" videos above) and says calendars should be  lunar based on the moon phases and their interpretation of the Bible. Posted by Don Browne at 2:41 PM `` 

Stephen Michael Kellat, an IRS employee, replies:

``After calling the charity verification hotline at IRS and looking through the database hosted by the Wyoming Secretary of State, this group appears to not be organized as if it were a church under Wyoming law and they're not on the roster of organizations at IRS for tax deductibility of donations. Comparing its organization papers against those of more traditional churches show some big differences as World's Last Chance has a general LLC incorporation as if you weren't sure if you were going to open restaurant or start manufacturing widgets. If you had any concerns about the group's tax situation, you can always fill out a Form 3949-A (Information Referral) found online at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f3949a.pdf and send it in to the Fresno processing campus for the triage team there to review`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1210, UT Monday July 1 at 0607, Jim Bohannon theme and opening, just like exactly one week ago at this time from WJNL, 50 kW daytimer cheating from Kingsley MI near Traverse City. Audible with KGYN Guymon OK nulled as much as possible, which also may have been out of order rather than protecting WPHT. Standard inquiry? No (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7312.85-USB, approx., July 1 at 0628, poor 2-way perhaps in accented French (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
