Glenn Hauser logs September 19-20, 2020

 ** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 20 at 0343 check on Bonaire SDR, no signal from anonymous missionary station; yet there is something JBA on the Warrenton MO SDR I had just retuned from 1860 for WOR check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13806 & 13674, Sept 19 at 2114, FMish spurblobs with unreadable audio but signature F# tone, out of RHC Spanish 13740 at S9; 66 kHz intervals. Just traces at double distances, approx. 13608 & 13872. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But in the mornings, 13700 has been clean for quite a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960-, UT Sun Sept 20 at 0024, The Mighty KBC has heavy QRM from always-off-frequency-minus EAST TURKISTAN domestic service, as heard by UTwente SDR making a LAH = low audible heterodyne; but by the time it gets from GERMANY site to Maine SDR, loud and clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, Sept 20 at 0058, only pirate now with rock music, 0059 unreadable YL announcement; only S1-S2. Perhaps Ballsmacker Radio which was on this frequency last night, but much stronger then. Several logs of BSR: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,71863.0.html but lead to this last one, starting: ``This was NOT Ball Smacker. It was a parody show by The FOX. You guys have to listen more carefully to the IDs. The IDs were edited from originals. Neat trick to make a deep male voice sound like a lady. ;-)) Foxhole Productions, in conjunction with Sick Puppy Productions. COCK Smacker Radio at proTEIN mail dot com. Theme was "RADIO". 6960 AM  Time: 0044 IS (3x) to 0131* CSR outro. [...] Hear the show on Internet Archive search.  Lotsa other goodies, too. 73 from the Foxhole Reynard`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490 webcast), UT Sun Sept 20 roughly 0007-0022 I catch part of `AAAWWW` on WBCQ repeat that I skipped yesterday at same time. Freddy is asking questions, so we get a bit more info about WHRI. Complains he can`t find many views of that facility online, but WBCQ will fix that once in charge. AW has visited Cypress Creek once, says the facility was well-built originally for the Christian Scientists (as WSHB); has three Diesel generators and as a peaking plant can sell excess power back to the utility. Antennas are curtains capable of handling 500 kW. About having been working on the WBCQ #1 transmitter for 6? weeks, says he hopes it will not burn up again --- oh, that one. It`s still confusing what`s #2 and what`s #3, and what number the ex-WRMI one is or will be; and is that the original Wilkinson from Radio Clarin, or not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
 
** U S A. (5085 webcast), UT Sun Sept 20 at 0022, WTWW-2 has already started TONITO in such music. This week are recordings performed by John Ferguson, January 1995, at Paramount, Indianapolis, immediately before that organ was dismantled and trucked off to storage, unknown where. 0048 outro, Bob Heil has finally come up with a new program name since he moved to Belleville IL, `Theatre Organ Under The Arch` --- so we have to retire `TONITO` for Theatre Organ Not In The Ozarx`, henceforth TOUTA. A different very noisy organ recording plays on until 0052 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13855, Sept 19 at 2113, S5-S7 of open carrier/dead air, much stronger than 13845 WWCR and 13840 RNZP. In our mornings CRI is there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
