** COLOMBIA? 4940, Oct 3 at 0230, anonymous mystery missionary station is on again, good S9/+10 into Bonaire SDR during drama, carrier offset first reads -45.1, anomaly? Then settles to more usual -5.4 to -6.0. 0255 program outro sounds like `Historia Preferida`, or was it `Historia de la Biblia`? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2054 monitoring: not confirmed Friday October 2 at 2200 on WRMI 9955: canceled without notice. At 2204 check a Lt. Joe Allen spelling his email address, and pushing a religious book ``Behind Metal Bars`` with phone number. O, the System B sked has been changed but still shows a longago date May 4, now with `Mental Bars`, M/W/F at 2200, with Viva Miami filling at 2215. So now we have lost our 9955 audience at both Friday evening times.

Confirmed UT Sat Oct 3 at 0130 on WRMI 7780: inaudible! here tho 7730 & 7570 are, weaker than usual; nor at UTwente, nor at Virginia, but attaining at least a fair S5-S7 signal at Maine SDR. K index is only 2 but propagation continues really sucky. Next:

** U S A. (7490 webcast), UT Sat Oct 3 at 0001, WBCQ `AAAWWW` is starting with ``WTO``; 0104 usual opening fiddling on the air with studio settings, mikes. His mike is cutting out a bit. Says it`s hot in DeLand of Fla, 75% humidity, 71 degrees outside, 81 inside Studio 9. Muses whether to resume video UStreaming during show so all can see scantily clad beautiful Angela. Into Topic A, Virus and now inside beloved Trump too, microbiology lesson, later complaining about property and income taxation. I`m only semi-listening while following more objective TV coverage of the situation.

At 0027 I tune around remotes to find out which frequencies are in play: at Rochester, no 3265, no 5130, no 6160, not even 7490, nor even 9330 with WLCR! How about Alexandria VA, a bit further away for better skip? Not much: no 3, 5 or 6, 7 is JBA while 9330 is a good S7 during Portuguese aimed at Brasil. In Maine, 9330 is VG S8-S9, but 7490 is only JBA. At Warrenton MO, nothing on 3, 5 or 6, but 7490 is good S5-S7, 9330 good S7.

At 0042, he finally confirms date is 2nd of October, YOOL 2020 and simulcasting on 7490 & 6160 --- I don`t think so, 6159.9 not picked up anywhere including here. Now he says that 5130 has been ``mothballed, not retired`` due to shortage of technicians. Again appeals for job applicants, says pays better than most. Angela adds they also need more buyers of airtime. 0050 he explains how it is necessary to discharge capacitors and everything to avoid being killed even when transmitters are ``off``. 0056 closing prayer suggests OFIH should modify the virus just a little to make it less lethal. Yeah, that`s the ticket! At 0114 I check reception here to be sure while not listening to Hal Turner: zilch on 6159.9; 7490 is S9; 9330 is S9+40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
