The Engineer and his assistant have returned to Bethel to resume work on the WMLK Radio station. The picture shows one of three rectifiers that change the voltage from AC to DC. They will also be changing the frequency dynamics from 50 Hz to 60 Hz in the rectifier firing control circuitry. See: <wmlkradio.com/upgrade-to-the-rectifiers/> The engineers that were with the unit before and after we bought this set didn't think the frequency acceleration from 50 to 60 cps would make a difference, but it has ! The European frequency is 50 Hz while the US standard is 60 Hz. (Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.; wor Dec 9) Re: WMLK further work 2.0 on WMLK site Dec 11 to 22. Change from 50 to 60 Hertz Standard Mains Frequency, in North America is 60 Hz / 120 Volt. It's a strange mail, I don't even know what it's supposed to tell me from a technical point of view. But something is indeed happening. I'm flying to the USA tomorrow Dec 11 and will be at WMLK until Dec 22, to work off all the little unfinished business and do a DRM upgrade. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The customer had ordered this later, but due to delivery problems with the equipment I could not finish it in the summer.

Did not hear any 5085 tonight. Glenn`` ``His full e-mail is as good as a license to broadcast. George McClintock 12-22-2022``. WTWW back on 5085, Dec 22 at 2355, as George calls me to check on the spurs he`s working to eliminate: still there now and a bit stronger than last time, 5072.1 & 5097.9; SFA PPPP programming and stays on past 0206 check. He does not have programming arranged yet for daytime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2170) ** U S A. 4980, Dec 22 at 0732, WRMI with TOMBS // 5010 et al. 4980 just resumed with Legends at 23-05 but now running it longer. Yet not as such on the skedgrid updated Dec 21. Other changes: WRMI-1 on 7730 to 160 degrees but BLANK 24h. WRMI-2 ALSO on 7730, 44 degrees to Europe, with wide variety of Systems and shows 24h! It now matches exactly what`s shown for WRMI-9 on 15770, also 44 degrees, 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2170) ** U S A. 9329.761, Dec 22 at 0739, WBCQ/WLCR in English at S9/+10, way off-frequency the lowest yet. The winds here are howling, 40 mph gusts forecast, as intermittent noise appears on MW & SW, probably rattling power lines; and we are headed for extreme windchills like -24 F, and lows circa zero F, Thu & Fri. 9329.838 is where Maine SDR finds it at 1917 Dec 22. Despite proximity ought to be in skip zone, but S9/+15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2170) ** U S A. 13845 & 15825, Dec 22 at 1617, NO signals from these WWCRs. K index at 15 was only 3. Must be OFF or there would at least be JBA carriers. 12160 is still inbooming S9+30 and the other WWCR 9980 is also silent as it has been most days lately. Survey of other USignals finds normal reception from WRMIs, 13820 R. Mart?, 15755 WINB DRM, even JBA 15555 USB WJHR. At 1652 I check Maine SDR for WWCR and it too is hearing nothing but 12160. At 1916, however, all 4 WWCRs are on and into Maine SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 22 at 0734, R. Vanuatu still here and VP. Ron Howard also reports it 0610-0731 with severe weather warning, and news about Fiji leaning more toward ANZUS rather than China (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0212 UT December 23 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 240, Issue 24 *********************************************
