** SPAIN. 9690, Friday December 18 at 2300, REE English as Alison Hughes is recounting a subject she says they have not dealt with before: the corruption of exiled ex-Rey Juan Carlos; with bits of rather disrespectful music interludes. Later in show on to some other newsy subjects. VG reception, other frequencies unchecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, Fri Dec 18 at 2307, WRMI playing classical organ music - Encore? NO, 2310 it`s Bob Biermann on `Truth 2 Ponder` saying he is taking a break from politix, but goes on to proselytize here like he does on `YWS`, lamenting how secular so much music and Xmas programming has become, e.g. depressing movies on Hallmark channel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5800, UT Sat Dec 19 at 0259, WRMI with some dead air, then Zanotti ID JIP, 0300 that bouncy World Music fill, Greek? So Encore is not getting the usual unpublicized (except by me) prepeat --- oh2, yes it is, 0302 cut to JIP Magic Flute Overture, and the rest of that excellent classical hour; as I am listening via Missouri SDR which is getting it at S9+20/30 despite off the back of SSE antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Area 51/61 webcast, UT Sat Dec 19 at 0100, WTO starting AAAWWW on WBCQ. This is what should be on SW 6160v, but not checked; Allan says on 7490 & 6160 tonight, ``we hope``. Nostalgia of VU meters they have rather than LED displays; Angela seem to think she is *supposed* to peak ``in the red``, which explains why she is constantly shouting and overmodulating, distorting. Apparently she sees red as a political statement! A spirited discussion/argument follows the rest of the hour, and Allan also has to raise his voice too high just to overcome her. She wonders why one monitor radio is on ``7489``? Allan explains that it`s an old Kenwood which drifts --- but says nothing about WBCQ transmitters drifting. As a ``man of science``, Allan declares, ``take the vaccine`` while Angela objects --- China must have something to do with it as with the virus itself.
At 0120 the Area 51/61 webcast of AAAWWW is suddenly interrupted by a rapid retuning-sound across the dial, screech, switch to some music fill, and a song repeating the F-word. I go to the WBCQ 7490 webcast and find AAAWWW is still running there; I wonder if the same divergence happened on SW? At 0122 a caller interrupts, Bill in Ohio who says he has already got vaccinated, but they dispose of him quickly.
At 0131 I recheck A51/61 webcast and just starting is ``2001, a Jane Odyssey, welcome September 8`` --- so it appears that Larry Will, controller of A51/61, had enough of the Wieners and decided to dump out of their show, at least on his webcast.
Now on (7490) webcast, they are lamenting increasing ChiCom influence in the US, etc., etc. 0145 datestamp as ``18th of December, YOOL 2020``, and assures us there will be an Xmas show too. 0147 to e-mail starting with the new Free Radio Weekly, extracting a few frequencies and pirate stations reported. AHW again advocates their dumping SSB and using AM only. And so it goes to closing prayer by 0159, some music fill and eventually Hal Turner starts, bragging about how many countries he allegedly reaches via WBCQ & WRMI - I wonder if he knows he`s been moved from 9455 to 5950, which BTW is much stronger than // 6160v. Axually, any full-power SW signal can reach *every* country in the world at one time or another, no big deal. Whether there be any significant listeners in any of them is quite another matter.
At 0219 I try to measure 7490v, but no signal direct to here! 6160 comes out as 6159.931 --- at least it`s quite stable. Now with Hal Turner, but at 0254 recheck, music is playing. At 0342 I try Alexandria SDR in SAM, which now displays 6160.0 minus 78 to 80 Hz.
I still want to measure where ``7490`` is tonight, so try Warrenton MO SDR in SAM mode -- arrives there sufficiently at S7, but Hz offset on that Kiwi is stuck at -3.7, even when I tune or jump to other frequencies; not to be believed. At 0344, Alexandria is working as 7490.00 plus 170 to 172 Hz, now in TOMBS not // music on 6160- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. eQSL received December 18 for KSEN 1150 Shelby MT DX test on Nov 8:
``Dear Glenn, Congratulations on your valid reception report of the KSEN DX test. Please find the attached PDF of your QSL. https://www.w4uvh.net/KSEN1150DXghQSL.pdf Please feel free to respond with any questions or concerns. vy 73 de Joe KJ8O -- *** Avoid internet congestion, real radio uses airwaves. *** Joe Miller, KJ8O, Desert Hot Springs, CA, Locator DM13sw``
It`s now #103 at http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html Joe is on the Courtesy Programs Committee, entrusted with proxy QSLing, not a station staffer. Original report as also copied to him:
** U S A. 1150, Nov 8 at 0736 UT, besides KSAL Salina KS, I am hearing Sousa march music, must be the scheduled DX test from KSEN Shelby, Montana. Yes, 0737 very slow Morse Code MCW IDs: VVV DE KSEN, with call repeated so many times I lose count. 0739 sweep tones; 0740 I switch from the DX-398 with internal antenna only somewhat nulling KSAL, to the R75 with E-W longwire where KSAL is more solid, but still hearing underneath, KSEN now with continuous tone. 0742, phone-off-the-hook pulse sounds. So that`s it. As I said, unheard 24 hours earlier, and it turns out that test was deficient at low power. Tonight it`s widely heard from coast to coast at least. Shelby is near Cut Bank, on I-15, only some 35 miles south of Alberta (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
Joe, Tnx for the QSL - a nice design. Added to my gallery: http://www.worldofradio.com/QSL.html

``Hi Glenn, Nice gallery. Coincidently, my first QSL was also CFRX dated February 1968. Best wishes, Joe`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
