Squeal is constant pitch during pauses, but varies when `modulated`. Enough of that. Try 9690 Spain at 2320 which is S9+25 into Virginia SDR, but it`s a repeat of JC`s interview with musician J L Mont?n (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2124 monitoring: confirmed Friday February 4 from 1915.4 on IRRS via AM Italia 1323 kHz, and via Bulgaria 7290. Tuned via nearby Noale SDR, 1323 has QRM from Romania HS in German; 7290 via UTwente has considerable ACI from 7295 CGTN Radio in English via East Turkistan; standard denunciation. At 1917 I try Carlow, Ireland SDR, which gets 7290 better at S6-S7, best tuning SAL or AMN modes. 14580 harmonic not audible. Both 1323 and 7290 to WOR completion at 1944. Tuning in earlier: At 1854, 1323 is crescendo Ravel`s Bolero, not sure which station, but I fear it will be interruptus before climax, and indeed I never hear that by 1900. At 1859 there is CCI from other music, IRRS ID mix with Hungarian concluding hour from Romania. At *1858 on 7290, S-meter jumps a unit when Bulgacarrier oncomes. As usual, no IRRS ID or sign-on but cut on modulation a bit before 1901 with `Feature Story News` already started, leading with Russia expelling Deutsche Welle. And now heard on both asynchronously. 7290 already with QRM as above; 14580 not audible. 1323 with CCI in German from Romania. Not on 918 or 207 kHz. 1908 music fill on both before 1915 IRRS ID and WOR. Also confirmed WOR 2124 repeat Feb 4 at 2130 on 1323, now VG S9+12 with no QRM at Noale SDR. I guess Romania signs off at 2000 or 2100. Also confirmed UT Saturday February 5 at 0230 on WRMI 9395, S7-S6 into VE4KRK Winnipeg SDR, fading down to S5-S4 by 0245; so switch to KB0FX SDR in Warrenton MO, good at S8-S9. I picke these because of NNW azimuth.

That`s normally on 7490 at 2200-2300 Fridays: this is part of a 2300-0100 test this week for the music and other entertainment shows planned as a regular 2-hour block from March, ``curated`` by Uncle Bill; but haven`t decided exactly which hours will propagate best. It`s S9+10 but noisy here. From tomorrow for a week the test hours will be 0000-0200 UT. The trouble is, spring storm noise level will be constantly increasing, and darkness will be latening, so an ideal? time in Feb will not necessarily apply in March or April or beyond. Furthermore, what`s ideal will depend very much on listeners` distance and direxion from Monticello. Walt Salmaniw just posted to the WOR iog: ``4790 is a really poor frequency choice on the west coast due to the very loud CODAR interference across that part of the spectrum including 4790. They should move 100 to 200 kHz higher. Heard this afternoon via Masset SDR. Would have been fair/good except for CODAR. 73, Walt`` Here`s an idea: WBCQ should puts its best programming on 250/500 kW 9330, not its worst (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Sat Feb 5 at 0100, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`, new this week after one show thrice in January: coyly they don`t explain why they missed two weeks, just ``busy``. Says it was unusually hot in FL today, 86F. As always they interrupt and yell over each other which is not pleasant for the bylistener. Usual far-right digs such as referring to President Biden as ``the puppet``. ``Rachel Maddow scares me`` --- good, that says a lot more about you than her. ``Whoopie Goldberg is ugly``. ``Don`t care if you`re purple``. WBCQ should double its rates, losing money. Good news: some new programs coming, a new music show Sat at 7-8 PET on 7490. Already carrying `The Power Hour`, M-F at 11 am to 1 pm ET on 6160. Or did he mean 11 pm to 1 am?? If it were in 24-hour UT there would be no confusion! I suspect that`s the original Power Hour with Joyce Riley scheduled around noon by iHeart, not the podcast of the same name with Adrienne somebody? More and more sunspots are being seen with their scope. Last night at 7:30 PET, 7490 & 9330 vanished from their FL monitors: it was a CME. Trimulcasting now on 7490, 6160, 4790. I do a quick check of 4790 on remote and confirm it`s still on, offset slightly minus. Then talks about the 4790 tests and at 0123 Uncle Bill calls in about them. Will feature pre-Nazi jazz, music from Finland, Brazil. 0130 reading an article about radio ad sales going up in the industry. 0137 about old music being popular among younger people today. Fantasizes that AM on SW will become *the* medium for new music. 0145 James Careless` Radio World article reviewing a couple of portable SW radios. 0147 something about Canada. World Radio Day Feb 13 should be marked by some special programs, but no details. (BTW I`ve been simulviewing the ChiCom Olympic opening ceremonies.) 0155 reads pirate radio logs from new Free Radio Weekly just in, edited by Larry Will. When edited by an alternate, it`s never out till later on Saturday. One item is axually credited to Mr Hauser. Some e-mailed reception reports. 0159 prayer, 0201 JIP Hal Turner late as usual.
