Glenn Hauser logs September 11-12, 2020

** BRAZIL. 11780, Sept 11 at 2225, RNA is S7-S8 but sup-torted modulation as usual; why bother to broadcast? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)


** COLOMBIA. 4940, Sept 12 at 0053, anonymous missionary station is on tonight with S6-S9 signal into TWR Bonaire SDR, amid English! Or rather sermon with consecutive Spanish translation, occasional clapping congregation. Heard Pastor Stendal mentioned, but is this him? Sounds very much like acting president Drumpf; from the same benighted Queens barrio? A Brother Allen/Allan/Alyn/Alyn/Alan mentioned later as runs past 0100 with no break. 0108 about testimony on a mission trip. 0118 retune, bit of music, and back to studio with the long-winded predicador heard previous nights only in Spanish --- no native languages---, citing Isaiah XVII. Retune at 0150, signal has faded way down to S5-S6 vs storm noise level. There`s a tiny one on the Carib coast of Colombia, but lots further circa Nicaragua, Yucatán, Cuba, per Blitzortung (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11800, Sept 11 at 2224, RHC is S8-S9 but JBM; even less so the parasitic spurs 11790/11810. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Sept 12 at 0142, R. Progreso is finally back on with music. Have not checked absolutely every night, but had been missing ever since at least August 25, i.e. 17 days. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 11940, 9690 & 12030, Fri Sept 11 at 2223, REE English succeeds but Justin Coe is presenting some jazz eulogizing Bryant Park in NYC --- what`s that to do with Spain?! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830v, Sept 11 at 2222, VOT English to us is on but with music buried under NSS RTTY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2051 monitoring: confirmed Friday September 11 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+30/35 so jamming under is almost inaudible.

NOT confirmed UT Saturday September 12 at 0130 on WRMI 9955, as something else has replaced without notice, gospel huxtress in English. Skedgrid shows `Circuit Rider` with a different 15-minute program each weekday, plugged in at various times. Might also bump some Vivas Miamis filling quarter-hour ATS, haven`t investigated. BUT WOR is still on 7780 at this time, VG to Maine SDR, but only clickbuzz at UTwente, local problem? Next:

Thanks this week for financial support from Robert W Gruska, Glendale NY, who has been contributing periodically since at least 2009; a PMO to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702; if by check please in US funds on a US bank.

Financial support may alternatively be sent via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com - not necessarily US funds as PP will convert (Glenn Hauser, OK WOR)

** U S A. 7490, Fri Sept 11 at 2215, WBCQ sounds like drama, old tyme radio? 6160v not on yet for that to start at 2300. Guess it is as scheduled at 2200 Fri on 7490v, ``Challenge Ministries``. BTW equivalent times on sked are still labeled ``EST`` while they are really EDT. Those are NOT THE SAME! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490v, 5130, 6160v, UT Sat Sept 12 at 0000, WBCQ starting `AAAWWW`, in that order as they are not synchronized and I hear the WTO starting over and over as I tune from one to another. Final interjexion in the theme is ``flummoxed``. 0001 recheck of 6159.9 finds it reverted to some old jazz, but soon back to AW and I keep listening there for somewhat better reception than 7490, and 5130 unusable. He starts saying they have two rules: ``don`t steal and don`t lie`` --- yet some stuff was stolen this week but miraculously returned; has been a stressful week, like Peyton Place [an old steamy soap opera, I think: I never watched it]. 0011 says there is no audio on 6 or 5 MHz --- yes, there is, I am listening on 6. AW claims he avoids discussing politix with friends and family he knows he is not going to persuade --- [but We the Audience are neither!] 0013 call from Andrew about something. It`s Sept 11, YOOL 2020, anniversary of you know what. Then they`re both into vicious political ranting: Hillary should be in jail! Angela yells; yet at each opening he persuades her to get closer to the mike. Don`t blame the cops or defund them for killing George Floyd --- he died later! Blames George Soros for paying rioters = Democrats = communists. I can`t take any more and tune out at 0036. Just as well, as I remember it`s time to check 4940 for Colombia, q.v. Unfortunately(?) John Carver`s computer broke again so no report from him this week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
