But RHC was audible further west in USA on 9700 using KiwiSDRs e.g. in Kansas or Colorado.

Checking out what RHC is doing during prime time, UT Mon Nov 29, where something is always multiply wrong: New 9700 is already on at 0217 in English about José Martí, S9+15/20. This is also splashing upon 9710 where RHC is still in Spanish, only S9+10 and also distorted with music. NOT (yet?) on 9650 replacing 9710 as per official schedule. And // 5040. 9710 still at 0353. 6000 is the only 49m channel on the air at 0233 and in English. 9700 apparently replaces 6165, good news for 6160- WBCQ. 6000 still RHC English at 0655. 9700, at 0353 RHC English has faded way down and is now about equal to CCI from Voice of Turkey IS, prior to 0400 Turkish which is legitimately registered here until 0700, 500 kW at 310 degrees for W Europe, but also USward. Rechecked at 0505, 9700 RHC is now back to VG S9+27 and no sign of TRT - which has its own erroneous issues. But at 0557, 9700 bears nothing but Turkish music, no more RHC, which a previous night stayed on 9700 only in English well past 0700. 6060 RHC Spanish is now on at 0404, S9+10/15, from *0400? Still only 6000 on 49m in English. At 0505, 6060 RHC Spanish has heavy Qu`ranRM which is RTA Algeria via FRANCE as legit sked 0400-0600, 500 kW, 160 degrees from Issoudun. At 0602, 6060 has RHC English in the clear, S9+27. At one of the English chex, I forget which, RHC was talking about Fidel`s support for Timor Leste; whatever became of them? 6100, usual RHC English after 0500, is not to be heard at all at 0505, 0602. Also at 0602, still no 6165 or 6145 English even tho 9700 is not on either. At 0654, 9700 does bear the TRT IS again, S2-S8 with flutter. All logs before 0654 on the KB0FX SDR in MO, then direct.

Nothing happened for several months, so I e-mailed him again on October 19. So far, no reply. Another of the transmitters suffers from slight hum and a lower modulation output. You have no doubt observed this on several occasions when listening. Regarding your often reported missing 2200/2300 English broadcast, I suspect it might be their time for transmitter maintenance.

Also confirmed UT Sunday November 28 at 0030 on WRMIs 7730 and 5950, both VG direct; program sked now shows something else now on 5950, maybe from next week? Also confirmed UT Sunday November 28 already near the end at 0422 UT on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+10 direct and finishing at 0425.5, so started really early circa 0356: tune in before 0400 to be safe and listen to the variable-length ham shows. Not awake at 1330 Sun Nov 28 for WOR on WMRI Europe, via Channel 292, Germany on 9670. Did anyone hear it? roger in Germany reports: ``WRMI [sic] via 9670 kHz 1300-1330z, WOR2113 Nov 28 at 2:22 PM [= 1322 UT] https://wmrieurope.com/wrmi_schedule/ [sic] "Now Playing: Glenn Hauser - wor2113.mp3" 9670 kHz // webstream http://14843.live.streamtheworld.com/SAM07AAC238_SC roger`` So he axually heard last week`s WOR before 1330 on 9670?

WORLD OF RADIO 2114 monitoring: Neil Gates of WMRI Europe explains what happened with WOR 2113 airing before 1330 instead 2114 after 1330 Sunday Nov 28 on 9670: ``Hello Glenn, On Friday/Saturday a storm (storm Arwen) with winds of 90 miles per hour hit this part of the United Kingdom taking out power supply and internet connectivity. Our programmes are fed to the TX in Germany from a remote server which without power or internet we were unable to access so were unable to schedule yesterday's programming correctly for relay from Channel 292.

First hearing Indian classical music, sitar, tabla, etc., then 2311 a `cello sonata alone; 2327 mixture of S Asian and `cello, for rest of hour with no announcements at all until 2359.5 WRMI ID and into Wavescan. This certainly does not match the Tumbril playlist for this week or last. I notified Brice. Nice music but not Encore, which still shows on the System L sked. 5850, UT Sun Nov 28 at 0100-0200, next broadcast of `Encore` on WRMI succeeds, matching the Nov 27 playlist with Brice`s commentary. Next repeat on WRMI should be UT Monday at 0300 on 5950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7490, Nov 27 at 0036, WBCQ chex via Maryland remote: this one is S9 but -57 Hz off-frequency = 7489.943 during FKB gospel huxter. 6160 S5 with rock at -52 Hz = 6159.948. 4790 S7 with TOMBS -19.5 Hz = 4789.9805. 3265: NO signal. 9330 S9+10 in WLCR Brazuguese, +0.6 Hz = 9330.0006. I`m all set for `AAAWWW` on 7490 webcast, UT Sat from 0100: abrupt JIP `WTO` theme, ``Here we go`` interjexion. A&A are somewhat overmodulated especially when they interrupt and try to talk over each other. Allan says it`s ``live``. About picking his nose; riding horses, Angela doesn`t know how, so is taking lessons? 0113 ``trimulcasting` on 7490, 6160, 4790. 0124, `Amos `n` Andy` was hugely popular at 7 pm ET, every family listening. Whether old radios should be restored to operational or collected as are, e.g. Atwater-Kents which were very well made. On and on about radios and very little political diatribe this week. 0153 FRW stuff, presumably from last week since this week`s isn`t out yet. 0156 he finally makes a datestamp, 26 of November, YOOLF 2021; on 7490, 6160, 4790, but specifically says ``3265 not tonight`` (Wolfgang Bueschel reported hearing it a few days ago at a very different time, but never heard here; he since retracted that). Quick look at email including new pirate logs just in from Larry Will. 0159 prayer running over, closing, and 0201 JIP Hal Turner. John Carver`s version: ``Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160 with a very poor signal and 7490 was not much better. Allan and Angela in the studio and opening talk about horses and mounting and dismounting horses bareback. Then some radio talk and a conversation about an old tube that Allan has on the desk and then into crystal radio sets. Then into commercial radio sets from the late twenties and thirties. At 0153 Allan reads the highlights from the Free Radio News. A bit of political talk about the IRS and some other governmental agencies at 0155 and then some emails. Program was off the air at 0200. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5970, Nov 25 at 0725, no signal from WEWN Spanish which had been reliable; other USAs on 50m are propagating well, WWCR and WRMI. WEWN has also been missing from its night English frequency 9385 whenever checked; but still on 12050 Spanish days; 15610 English after 1900?

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5050, UT Mon Nov 29 at 0037, WWRB still on here instead of expected 3215, so probably not yet on new 3360 either after 0200 altho did not get around to checking. Next weekend? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Nov 28 at 0055, WTWW-2 with `TOUTA` already underway so switch to $tereo webcast; but original recordings of George Wright as a teenage thorganist are mono: no wonder, dating from 1938y? Bob Heil explains how the recording fi was as hi as possible for that era. Finishes at 0140.5, so might have started circa 0040 if an hour long, but you never know. Is it too much to ask for a program to stick to a specific start time, whatever it may be?
