Glenn Hauser logs August 26-27-28, 2019

** CUBA. 13700, Aug 27 at 1346, RHC is S9+10 but just barely modulated, while 13740 is nominal, S9 to S9+10. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Fulfilling dire warnings all day, a major storm hit the OKC area (but not Enid!), the evening of Aug 26, early UT August 27, resulting in the major TV stations blowing away their entire primetime schedules for wall-to-wall coverage. Mike Morgan on KFOR even called it an ``inland hurricane`` since winds were up to 80 mph. Caused a lot of damage, with hail, flooding, many power lines down; up to 85 kilocustomers blacked out at peak per OG&E Systemwatch.

Not until 0542 UT do I start checking whether any radio stations are affected, and some are, even in the Enid area:

1520, Aug 27 at 0542 UT, KOKC is dead air, still so at 0554; I can`t hear its FM translator on 95.3 either, whether off or dead air as it`s marginal anyway.

1640, Aug 27 at 0545 UT, KZLS ``Enid`` (Hennessey) is dead air, maybe because it`s programmed out of OKC. Still at 0554;

however at 0552 I nulled its carrier as much as possible to hear another station with music. Normally it`s WTNI Biloxi MS, reported in MW Circle as ex-sports:

``** U S A. 1640 WTNI [Biloxi MS] --- Yesterday I moved my antenna from its summer position (about 270 degrees) to the winter one (about 300).  LA has been a dead loss from here this year although to be fair I have been away a great deal.

I was rewarded with good reception today after months of very little  (conditions I think rather than the antenna move working a miracle). It's probably been reported elsewhere but I noted that 1640 WTNI seems to have abandoned sport. ID noted as "This is Classic Country 103.5 The Possum". Also 1680 KRJO noted with "99.7 My FM" [Monroe LA] (Paul Crankshaw, Aug 21, MWCircle yg via DXLD)

Thanks, Paul. WTNI used to simulcast 1490 WANG sport "The Champ". The change of 1490 WANG to "103.5 The Possum" and country format was reported in March in MWN. However at that time 1640 WTNI retained the sport format. Neither NRC nor IRCA have subsequently reported that 1640 WTNI has now rejoined 1490, ditching the sport format for country. Wikipedia says that this change occurred in June 2019, but I can't find independent confirmation.

KRJO's slogan "99.7 My FM" appears also not to have been reported by NRC or IRCA. The format change to Adult Contemporary was noted in March 2019, although the format, slogan and repeater 99.7FM addition all date from 2016 according to RadioInsight https://radioinsight.com/headlines/107211/99-7-myfm-debuts-in-monroe/
73 (/Andrew Brade, ibid.)

Hello Andrew and Paul, 1680 KRJO noted by my addition to last year`s NRC log and in 2019/20 log. 1640 WTNI still shown as ESPN in 2019/20 NRC Log and now amended. Best wishes & 73s (Barry :-) Carlisle UK. Lat. 55.0119N, Lon. 2.9668W, Davies, ibid.)``

1000, Aug 27 at 0550, KTOK OKC is still on but audio breaks up; by 0616 dead air.

Other OKC AM signals seem nominal at 0550+, 930, 800 and 640.

Then I check FM from 0554 Aug 27:
88.3, K202BY Enid is dead air instead of Family Radio. It doesn`t take a storm for this one to fail, again & again. Still dead all day
105.5, K288FX North Enid is dead air at 0602 instead of relay KYLV 88.9; resumed by 0500 UT Aug 28, gospel rock and K-Love 88.9 OKC ID

In OKC area, major FMs are still on, EXCEPT
93.3, KJKE Newcastle, not heard at first, but then at 0554 weakly; QRP? from 100 kW? Or possibly storm interfered with propagation
98.1, WWLS-FM The Village is definitely off at 0555, still off at 1313, and 1600 UT; still off or QRP? at 0500 Aug 28
98.9, KYIS OKC, definitely off at 0555, still off at 1313 but on by 1600
100.5, KATT-FM, definitely off at 0555, still off at 1600; but 1619 on caradio, OKC area ads, so suspect it`s also QRP
100.5, KTFR, Chelsea OK, 25/25 kW, 92m, is presumably the Spanish I hear briefly overcoming weakened KATT, Aug 27 at 1615 UT on caradio; Chelsea is in NE corner of OK on Hwy 66 between Claremore and Vinita
103.5, KVSP Anadarko, 100/100 kW, 600m rimshotter into OKC market, is dead air at 1613 UT, but rock at 1622.

I had not checked OKC DTV stations during the storm, but  bandscan Aug 27 at 1817 and 1930 UT finds RF 15 and 16 missing! I.e. TBN 14 and Daystar 46, nothing but gospel huxters. Both KOPX and KOCM-DT are back at next check 0450 UT Aug 28, but KOCM signal is Bad, mostly not decoding (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 100.9, Aug 27 at 0558 UT I notice that the new K265FL Enid translator of KGWA 960 is displaying on RDS as KGWA-FM! Is there no rule against imaginary callsigns on RDS?  And still no stereo pilot, altho I have not checked during the detestable Sean Hannity, whenever he`s on (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1580, Aug 27 at 0546 UT, emergency sounder and warning from NWS Tulsa about storms in NW Arkansas, also loops E/W and not // 1020 KOKP; so this must be KHGG Vam Burem AR again, rather than KOKB Blackwell OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1996 monitoring: turned on UTWente SDR and tuned in 7290, Monday August 26 at 1814 to hear me already halfway thru WOR at the YHWH item! But 1815 cut to Aïda theme, 1816.5 re-start WOR 1996. Usual very strong and loud signal, modulation just below the distortion threshold, from IRRS via ROMANIA, but with some deep selective fading distortion. This can be considerably reduced by LSB or USB tuning, or even better, synch.

Also confirmed UT Tue Aug 27 at 0127 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, poor in
HLNL. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday  WRMI 7780 to NE

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15550-USB, Aug 26 at 2112, WJHR gospel-huxter still reactive; tho very poor level, would you believe he`s stronger with 1 kW PEP than biggies 15825 WWCR; and 15610 WEWN inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1130, Aug 26 at 1915 UT on caradio I notice that KLEY, 250 watts in Wellington KS, is back on the air, the first time noticed since at least May 3. I haven`t checked for it every day but I`m sure it hasn`t been for more than a week. 1929 ID as ``The Wave 100.3`` as they have kept the ``translator`` of a silent AM station on the air as I confirmed that at local range July 10. I`ll bet 1130 is gone again before long, but it`s still JBA Aug 27 at 1943 UT vs HLNL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 92.9 WBFM, Aug 26 at 1959 UT, Spanish music, unusual to hear on this channel; 2002 ID as ``La Mexicana`` on 92.9 and 101.5, with calls which are: 92.9 KMML Cimarrón KS, 32/32 kW, 186.0 m. 101.5 KSMM its Liberal KS relay, 100 kW. Cimarrón is between Dodge and Garden Cities on US 50/400, 274 km = 170 miles from here. I have heard KSMM before when it was substituting for another Spanish absent, KOCD Okeene OK nearby --- not still silent as still shown in WTFDA DB. There is still a bit of tropo boost in the afternoon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Aug 26 at 1500 UT, Hepburn map predicted level 4 high tropo enhancement around here, more than maps have shown in a long time, but very little DTV DX to be seen; just Bad signals on RF 20 and 34, probably Tulsans. 24 hours later as much or more allegedly into Kansas but I don`t have a chance to bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9538.3-USB, Aug 27 at 1940, 2-way INTRUDER in Spanish JBA very intermittent, ``cambio`` = over, literally ``change``, copied at least (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Radio Becomes New Battlefield in Yemen War

Joshua Holmes 08/25/2019

https://themedialine.org/by-region/radio-becomes-new-battlefield-in-yemen-war/  

Stations attacked and threatened by Houthi rebels in attempt to influence largely illiterate listenership

On a bright January morning, Abbas Al-Akbari, a seasoned producer at Hodeidah Radio, glanced outside his office window and noticed a pick-up truck rapidly approaching his building.

Just a few minutes later, about five fighters jumped out of the vehicle and stormed his office. They vandalized the recording room, confiscated equipment, and looted the entire contents of the station’s archives, which housed over 50 years’ worth of material documenting Hodeidah’s history.

The city’s radio station has remained shut ever since.

Al-Akbari’s story is far from unusual. As the war in Yemen between a Saudi-led coalition supporting the Yemeni government and Iranian-backed Houthi rebels continues to spiral out of control, a new battlefield has emerged in the war-torn country: that is, over the electromagnetic spectrum.

Indeed, radio in Yemen — where one in every two people can neither read nor write — has become an important tool in reshaping the narratives surrounding the war. Aware of this reality, Houthis have waged a ruthless battle against media outlets and radio stations across the country.

“It’s not only radio stations that are under attack, but the entire media in the country,” says Amir Basloom, a manager of a large radio station in eastern Yemen. “They storm your office, confiscate equipment and detain workers, and then tell you what you’re allowed to broadcast,” he told the Media Line.

As a result, most radio stations in Yemen have gone off air. Those that stayed in business began taking orders from Houthi strongmen.

This was the case, for example, with Hayat FM, one of Yemen’s most prominent radio stations, which aired on 104.7 FM. Last month, in a sudden turn of events, the station was renamed “Voice of the People” and began airing on 107.0 FM. The change took place after Houthis stormed the station’s headquarters and took its workers hostage. No one was allowed to enter or leave the building for over a week, according to several sources on the ground.

“The risk is not just physical, it’s also financial,” Basloom explained. “The Houthi rebels force all businesses to donate a portion of their revenues to the so-called war effort.”

Radio stations and media outlets, which benefit from ad money, have been disproportionately affected by this tax, he says.

“If you refuse to pay you’re immediately considered a traitor or a heretic,” Basloom explained, adding that “one might be imprisoned, or even killed, for refusing to donate money [to the Houthis].”

Indeed, most stations seeking to continue broadcasting independent content have been forced to relocate to areas outside of Houthi control, including to other Arab capitals such as Riyadh, Cairo, and Abu Dhabi.

“We had no other choice but to shut down our headquarters,” said Masnour Al-Rida, a radio broadcaster who asked to keep his station’s name undisclosed. “We now use Facebook to spread our content, but it’s certainly not as effective [as traditional broadcast],” he told the Media Line.

Ali Al-Salami, another station manager who still operates from Yemen’s capital city Sana’a, agrees.

“They say that there is freedom to air whatever [content] we want, but it’s not real freedom,” he told The Media Line. Any [content] that might be damaging to the Houthis or questions their legitimacy cannot be aired. Because station managers are afraid to upset the Houthis, they often avoid broadcasting news or political programs altogether.”

Indeed, traditional radio in Yemen has become nearly defunct. Only a handful of the 26 stations that once existed in Sana’a remain functional.

Meanwhile, Eram FM and Sam FM — two of the largest stations still operating in the country — continue to broadcast pro-Houthi propaganda, including messages of support for Hizbullah and Iran. Likewise, smaller community stations located in rural Yemen have been airing radical messages to attract young men to join the Houthis’ ranks.

“If you tune into one of these stations, you will likely hear reports on the destruction caused by [the Saudi-led] coalition’s air raids, or maybe hear popular songs calling for war and encouraging people to join the fighting,” Al-Salami said.

Earlier this summer, Sam FM launched a campaign to raise funds for Iranian proxy Hizbullah in Lebanon. Over the course of just ten days, the station managed to raise nearly $300,000 to assist the group, which has been strapped for cash since US economic sanctions on Iran were re-imposed.

In a video released at the conclusion of the campaign, Sam FM’s general manager, Hamoud Mohammad Sharaf, celebrated the fundraiser by chanting, “Death to America! Death to Israel! Victory for Islam!”

To challenge growing Iranian influence in Yemen, Saudi Arabia has started ramping up its own broadcasting efforts in the region.

Over the past few months, the Saudi Broadcasting Corporation added several hours of content and programming to its Al-Azam station, geared toward Saudi troops deployed in Yemen. Airing from Saudi territory, the station can be heard in many parts of Yemen, usually through satellite connection.

“The Saudis have been jamming radio in Yemen,” says Yemeni radio broadcaster Al-Rida. “It’s also possible that they have been helping anti-Houthi stations broadcast [their content] from Saudi territory, using shortwave frequency,” he adds, alluding to Riyadh’s growing efforts to rein in Houthi propaganda broadcasted across Yemen.

But Al-Rida told The Media Line that he is skeptical that this will help sway public opinion.

“The Saudi intervention is only successful in [northern] Yemen, while the rest of the country continues to listen to broadcasts controlled in one way or another by the Houthis,” he said. “With only a few hours of electricity a day in most parts of the country, people can’t be picky about which station they listen to; they simply tune into whatever they find and consume their news from there.”

Glenn Hauser logs August 15-26, 2019

** CANADA. 6754-USB, Aug 26 at 0533, Trenton Military, with weather for Thule as ``temperature 4 at 0456`` --- wow, how hot for 76.5 degrees north in the ``night``, as Greenland continues melting. Don`t recall hearing CHR mention Thule before, but must show occasionally in rotation. Some others are ``no report received`` as they never receive all reports. I suppose there are no commercial flights ultimately landing at Thule, other than emergencies as it`s right along some nearly trans-polar routes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 9215, Aug 26 at 1443, JBA Chinese? on a *jammed Sound of Hope frequency; nothing else WOOB found in the 9s, 10s or 11s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11670, Aug 26 at 0121, S8/S9+10 of dead air; while 11700, 11760 and 11850 are S9+10/20 with good modulation except 11700 suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13660, Aug 26 at 1401, JBA music enough to match to RHC on 13700 & 13740 which are S9+20 and S9+30 respectively during `Sonido Cubano`. So this is a leapfrog mixing product 40 kHz down (but no match on 13780 40 kHz up), or if you insist, third-order intermodulaton. By 1437 recheck, 13740 is off and so is 13660. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 11610, Aug 25 at 2201, S4-S6 of dead air; must be MWV not turned off after 21-22 Chinese hour to Europe. Transmitter not needed for next broadcast, 22-23 on 11790 Chinese to Europe, or 11965 Chinese to China? Not recalling those frequencies, I do not check them. 

(At 0119 Aug 26 I notice an S6-S8 JBM signal on 11610, wondering briefly if MWV still be stuck? Rather WEWN English allegedly eastward to Africa in its nightmiddle, which is never a decent signal here) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 12030, 11940, 11670, 9690, Sunday August 25 at 2203, all four REE transmitters are still on playing their earworm IS. All VG to G, even 11670 normally the least of them here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1996 monitoring: not confirmed Sunday August 25 at 2153 the 2130 on WRMI 7780: JBA carrier in S8-S9 high local line noise level; and this week do not expect a confirmation from Richard Langley since he`s away from NB.

Confirmed UT Monday August 26 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9+10 in HLNL after usual Rudy Espinal canned ID at 0129:30; also on // 9395, S9/S9+10, but *much* louder and less noisy.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 26 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, same as 0130.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 26 from 0302.5 on Area 51 webcast after live JL runs over again; JBA vs HLNL amounting to S9+10 on WBCQ 5130.34v at 0327 check.

Also confirmed UT Mon Aug 26 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, S9/+20 VG, immediately after familiar song with Czech lyrix. Next:

1816 UT Monday    IRRS 7290 Romania ND

0100 UT Tuesday   WRMI 7780 to NE

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7315, Aug 26 at 0128 tune-in, no signal from WHRI -- until *0129 after it has changed beam from 173 to VG 260 degrees for Voice of Vietnam relay, JIP during totally off-topic break about Tanzania from Voice of Martyrs. HFCC shows VOV 7315:

0000-0300 English at 25 degrees

0030-0130 Spanish & English at 173 degrees

0130-0200 Vietnamese [! really English] at 260 degrees

From 0200 back to 173 for other WHRI gospel-huxtering (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 10100, Aug 26 at 0328, JBA carrier, presumably second harmonic of 5050 WWRB TN, which Paul Walker, WY, had just reported with a much stronger signal. I had not heard this for over a year; possible only during the limited UT Sun & Mon activity of WWRB, and not in the B-seasons when on 90m instead. Then it would be worth checking for 2 x 3185, 3195 or 3215, whichever in use, on 6370, 6390 or 6430. Whenever such a WOOB mystery arise, first thing to try is dividing by two (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 780, UT Mon Aug 26 at 0142 UT, `StarDate` just ending on WBBM Chicago --- probably reliably at 0140, also UT Sun? Our Okie affils KUCO & KWOU skip it on weekends (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 760, Aug 26 at 0150 UT, WJR is nulled as I am trying to ID the Spanish LAH on the minus side, but more signal is coming from something in English with ``Place for Mom`` national ad but then Glen Beck plugging his show ``tomorrow at 7 am on Freedom 93-7, Real News, Real Talk``. That`s now the branding of KDSP Thornton CO = Denver market, U4 50/1 kW, obviously a flip from NBC Sports as of a year ago. 0159 UT ad with 303 areacode, 0200 Fox ``news`` sounder. I wonder if KDSP employ digital signal processing?? Rather the call was likely denoting ``Denver SPorts``. Now, FCC AM Query shows it`s KDFD as in ``Denver FreeDom``, since 6/25/2019. Official LSS in Aug is 0200 UT; September 0115 UT.

As for 93.7, it`s a mere 99-watt translator in Lakewood, K229BS [apropos call!], wagging the 760 dog; WTFDA DB still shows it originating with ``KDSP`` 760 but does have the new slogan ``Freedom 93.7`` [sic, with a point] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 760-, Aug 26 at 0143 UT, WJR Detroit in Michigan talkshow suffers from a low audible het on the minus side. I pull some Mexmx by nulling WJR, i.e. NW/SE, but it`s hard to tell where this QRM peak, as there is more QRM from Colorado really from the NW [see USA log]. At 0156 an SHVA in Spanish but can`t copy any ID. In the NRC AM Log 2018, the only USSSes on 760 are two Floridians, both on at night but with wrong formats: WLCC Brandon 1 kW religious, and WEFL Tequesta 1 sesquikW ESPND; even less likely two Radios Progreso in Cuba. 

Could it be Mexican? The most clockwise is on the AZ border, XENY Nogales, Sonora. Was slightly off-minus, 29 months ago per mwoffsets: ``759.9898 MEX XENY-AM Radio Xeny (Nogales) 2017-03-25`` i.e. -10.2 Hz which unseems quite enough for the LAH I hear. While WJR itself was only 0.2 Hz high as of a dekamonth ago. IRCA Mexican Log last year shows XENY 5000/100 watts with music formats, but no mention of offfrequenciness. Perhaps someone closer can confirm its exact frequency (and existence) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

19 - 25 August 2019

Solar activity was very low. The visible disk was spotless with no
Earth-directed CMEs observed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
moderate levels throughout the forecast period.

Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet levels under nominal solar
wind conditions throughout the forecast period.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
26 August - 21 September 2019

Solar activity is expected to remain very low throughout the outlook
period.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to reach high levels on 02-13 Sep due to recurrent CH HSS
influence. Moderate levels are expected thoughtout the remainder of
the period.

Geomagnetic field activity is likely to reach G2 (Moderate)
geomagnetic storm levels on 01 Sep, active levels on 26-27 Aug, 02
Sep, with unsettled levels on 28 Aug, 03, 06-07 Sep due to recurrent

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST UPDATE

http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) China - CRI: Added new link for "My China" archive audio and scripts of some CRI feature programmes (such as Selfie) amongst others

2) Finland - Scandinavian Weekend R: Added entry for this station Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be late September. Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe, Aug 25, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11855.77V, Saturday August 24 at 2215 tune-in, during the DX program on R. Aparecida, `Encontro DX`. Immediately mentions the station a few times, but made up of several segments with very different voices. 2217 it`s a report by a slow talker from the DX Clube do Brasil about the futuro das ondas curtas. There is slight pulse jamming bleed from Cuba on 11860 until I switch to LSB tuning. 2221, report from Paraíba by Amaral(?), fast talker, full schedule of RAE relays via Okeechobee very rapidly, but I heard one incorrect frequency, 9455. 2225 Daniel Camporini mentioned, Argentine DXer. By 2229 has drifted down to 11855.73 or so and show is not over: now a RAE guy is speaking Spanish with a porteño accent, about how ma y LRA stations there are around the country. 2233 mentions DX Clube sem Fronteiras, outro this show ``Encontro DX na Rádio Aparecida, nos sábados``, finally ends at 2235, then some whistling. 

The 11855+ signal rated S6, fades to S3; I then compare it to RNA on 11780: S8-S5, so ZYE954 is providing a respectable signal considering the 250:1 kW power differential --- or is one a bit less, the other a bit more? I have to look this up in a previous WRTH since the 2019 had deleted all four Aparecida SW frequencies! Finally I check the other one propagating at 2238, 9630.4 as it too is always off-frequency, rating S4 vs local high noise level.

It`s great that a Brasilian station allows such a DX program to exist. As in DXLD 19-33, a certificate is being issued for reception reports, so I am copying this to them hoping they don`t mind some English:

``BRAZIL. "Encontro DX Radio Aparecida" --- A partir del próximo sábado 10 de agosto de 2019, el programa "Encontro DX Radio Aparecida",  y el SWL Brasil DX Group, otorgará un certificado de escucha, a todos los oyentes en general que reporten la escucha del programa. Puede escucharlo por

Atte, (Héctor Frías Jofré, CE3001SWL-CE3FZL, Chile, Aug 9, WOR iog via DXLD)`` (Glenn Hauser, Oklahoma, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, Aug 25 at 0621, S9+10/20 of dead air from Radio Rebelde, except for some hum. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1996 monitoring: confirmed Saturday August 24 at 2100:00 on WRMI 9955, S9/S9+10 but upcut JIP as I say ``---1996``; after IS & ID loop from at least 2058, as the automation continues to be misaligned, starting playout a few seconds before switching sources; independent asynchronous clox?

Also confirmed UT Sunday August 25 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, VG aimed thisaway, but still fadier than co-aimed 7570 with BS, which is closer to one-hop.

Also confirmed UT Sun Aug 25 at 0336 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Missouri, S9+30 including storm noise level making copy difficult, but during item on YHWH about 17 minutes into, so started circa 0319. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, UT Sunday Aug 25 at 0035-0045, WRMI with beautiful gospel harmonies in Spanish, but 0045 abruptly cut to gospel huxter `La Verdad para el Mundo` with a bit of lo-fi harmony, introducing el evangelista Philip Gray [sp? sp?], who speaks very good but not quite native Spanish. What`s the harmony show? Sked shows 0115-0145 UT Sundays is `Buscando la Verdad`, while 0145-0200 is merely `La Verdad`. Perhaps they be related; show titles are often truncated to fit in the fields (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
