The test is scheduled for 1/8/2022 at 12:01 AM Mountain Time (0701 UTC, 8

For KJJR, Todd Clark, chief engineer, will be performing regular

All reception reports will be verified through the CPC with an electronic
QSL. Reception reports along with MP3 recordings or .MP4 video recordings
of your reception should be emailed to:
[email protected]. Please be sure to use the subject line: "KJJR 880

The following requirements are in effect in order to receive an electronic
QSL verifying your report:
-
Reports via email only. Email must include an MP3 file attachment of
your reception (best two minutes or so in length) or an MP4 video clip.
While written descriptions will be considered along with the recording,
they will not suffice alone for verification.
-

-
The report must include your name, location, and return email address,
clearly grouped together at the top of the verification request.

If you use a remote SDR to receive the test, you must clearly indicate
that in your verification request. We will only accept one such report per
DX'er. You cannot log the test on multiple remote SDRs and request multiple
verifications.
The IRCA/NRC CPC would like to thank the owners of KJJR, Todd Clark, and
CPC member Paul Walker for helping to arrange the test.
Good luck to all DXers!

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Jan 7 at 2300, checking various remotes for token
English from REE: JBA at Noale, Italy. No signal to Virginia but S6 to
S9+5 to Maryland! 11940 to SAm is S6-S8 into Sao Paulo. But I`m mainly
listening to contemporaneous Turkey, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 7 from 2300, VOT English is on; at
UTwente it`s S9+25/35 but with annoying squeal. Autonotch does not rid
it, but narrowing synch bandwidth to less than 2.7 kHz disposes of it.
2320, the strange feature ``Feeling Supreme`` with hard-to-understand
YL talking about smearing honey on lips 3 times a day, or the peeling
of something, but why? By now there is CCCCCCI from East Turkistan,
standard remark, but VOT well atop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2120 monitoring: confirmed UT
Friday January 7 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, S7-S9 into Knoxville SDR, with
some jamming bleed from 5980, and storm crashes altho there are none
nearer than the Gulf of Mexico and out toward Bermuda.
Also confirmed Friday January 7 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10, no
jamming audible and not cut off before 1559.
Also confirmed Friday January 7 at 1915 on IRRS SW via Bulgaria 7290,
S9+30 into UTwente. Monitored from 1859 when carrier on air but as
usual, modulation not cut on until almost 1901, missing A?da and IRRS
sign-on, joining Feature Story News in progress; 1905 IRRS ID,
address, News from UN. Briefly tuned UTwente to 14580 for second
harmonic, not heard but some JBA tones. Also monitoring AM Italia 918
kHz, Villa Estense via nearby Noale SDR, which is // 7290 and almost
in synch, But at 1910 I`m called to lunch so roll tape to check later.
After UN News, music fill, and on 7290 WOR from 1915, but the music
keeps playing on 918! Recheck at 1934 now WOR is on 918 too after a
late join, vs Spanish QRM from Madrid.
The 2130 replay on 918 only is running at 2135, S9+5 but as usual
transmitter dumps off the air at 2157, 2 minutes before I am finished!
Uncovers La Inter, Madrid. I`ve asked IRRS to realign.
Just before this at 2153, I tuned Noale to 207 kHz, the AM Italia new
longwave transmitter, JBA but could recognize my voice for the first
time definitely on LW. Not on 1323 which is planned? to replace 918.
WOR 2120 also confirmed UT Saturday January 8 at 0230 on WRMI 9395: VP
S5-S6 direct; at 0258 S7-S9 into Missouri SDR and not cut off before
0259. Next:

** U S A. 3215 before 0200, then 3360 UT Sun & Mon, we may not be
hearing WWRB any more. Check this weekend. A sesquihour before AAAWWW
this week, Allan Weiner e-mailed me: ``Hi Glenn, I heard about Dave
Frantz. Is there any more info on what happened? This is very sad
indeed. I was speaking with Dave back in November and he seemed fine.
Any info would be appreciated. Be well and HNY, Allan & Angela, WBCQ
Radio``
I replied that this was the first I had heard about it. Well, the
WWRB.org website is gone, per Hitlist linx. Did anyone hear it last
weekend, 3215/3360? So I inquired of the WOR iog. Replies:
Kim Elliott: ``The radio preacher who calls in to WBCQ 7490 Saturday
0000 UTC just said that Dennis [sic] Frantz died. His show will be off
WWRB for the time being.``
Larry Will: http://www.allwillstand.org/index.php/schedule/ ``says
"On January 2nd, 2022, I received a phone call from David Franz?s son
that he had went home to be with the Lord." Lw``
I look for obits in area newspapers/legacy.com but don`t find any.
General search on Dave Frantz led to age: 41. I thought he would be
older by now, and not sure if that info be current.
FCC search about WWRB, finds a CP for *something* was accepted for
filing July 19, 2021, and would expire 3 years later, July 19, 2024. I
have not been able to pull out what this was about. Street address is:

** U S A. (6160-), UT Sat Jan 8 at 0100 I`m monitoring the Area 61
webcast for WBCQ `AAAWWW`: usual banter opening, says electricity
rates have just gone up 20%, but airtime rates have not even been
upped for inflation, since no one could afford them. Rates run from
$35 to $50 per hour, depending, rather than $200.
Bad News: According to Pastor Ken, Dave Frantz of WWRB has passed
away, stroke? Allan had spoken with him as recently as November and
many times before about engineering matters. There may be no one but
him who could operate WWRB on SW, but his son could handle internet
streaming. See my separate report about this.
TOM has made some cuts, so no longer on 4790; in fact, it`s been
turned off temporarily, for no particular reason. But planned for
February are tests of some *good* programming on 4790, two hours per
night but apparently varying and not specified, supplied by Uncle Bill
Tilford, to assess reception, for regular service in March. A&A are
covering electrical costs for this.
0124, date stamp as 7th of January, YOOLF 2022. 9330 SuperStition was
off for a sesquiday, now back. It`s a very complex transmitter.
Problem was a little card preventing the 14 kv power supply to
funxion. Three engineers Jeff, Tom and Lance fixed it with help from
Continental.
0130, Angela has been taking riding lessons -- at first I thought he
said ``writing``! At 0133 I check Maryland SDR and get no signals on
4790, 6160, trace on 7490 but 9330 with WLCR is S6-S8. Propagation is
degraded and/or MD is too close. By 0145 I check Missouri SDR where
7490 is S4 = noise level, 6160 better at S7-S9. At 0145 reads some
items from new Free Radio Weekly including Angela`s favorite, Ball
Smacker Radio.
News that new FCC chairwoman nixes suggestion that FCC should
censor/ban rightwing networx Fox, NewsMax and group Sinclair. Yay for
Free Speech. Allan again claims that unlike USA, Angela`s Canada with
no First Amendment, does not allow private SW stations! WRONG!! He
overlooks CFRX, CFVP, and there were several others which quit
voluntarily.
0159 prayer, a minute of dead air still on the A61 webcast, then music
and ``You are listening to your favorite station, WICT Pittsburgh``,
not Hal Turner tho supposedly on 6160 & 7490 not rechecked. John
Carver`s reception was degraded:
``Tonight's show started on time on 6160 and 7490 with no signal on
4790 and an impossible to copy signal on 7490. Allan and Angela in the
studio opening with New Years Greetings to all of us. Allan and Angela
were out in last week`s time slot dining and dancing to welcome in the
New Year. Allan wants to start with Angela's Angle and I lose the
signal at 0107. Will continue to monitor the noise and see if it comes
back. Signal pops up at 0115 and Allan is announcing the death of Dave
Frantz of WWRB. Very rough copy. Allan states at 0121 that the Brother
Stair organization wants to cut back a bit and asked to stop the 4790
broadcast which Allan said they did as of January 1. Then he announces
what will be taking it's place and I can't copy it.
I apologize for this poor report but I can only report on what I can
copy. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6114, RTTY, re TDOA map linked in previous report, it
apparently expired. If you can get into the UDXF iog, the link worx

That`s to the west side of Italy; also two maps by mco leading to
Azores area in a subsequent post (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
