EiBi`s readme.txt explains only: ``HFDL Squitter (Aircraft comms station)``. Wikipedia: ``High Frequency Data Link (HFDL) is an ACARS communications medium used to exchange data such as Aeronautical Operational Control (AOC) messages, Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) messages and Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) messages between aircraft end-systems and corresponding ground-based HFDL ground stations. Using the unique propagation characteristics of high-frequency radio waves, the ground stations provide data link communications to properly equipped aircraft operating anywhere in the world. As a result, pilots can always communicate with someone on the ground.`` But what does it sound like on an ordinary radio? And what is squitter? Explanation from: https://skybrary.aero/articles/squitter ``The term "squitter" refers to a random broadcast of data occurring either intentionally or in response to noise. Description: Mode-S transponders automatically send periodic burst transmissions called "squitters". These transmissions are self generated and are not in response to interrogations from a secondary surveillance radar (SSR) system. The information sent in these burst transmission serves several purposes including: Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS) - Squitter information includes aircraft location and vertical speed. This information is used by ACAS systems on other aircraft to identify potential conflicts. Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) - An extended squitter is a message or series of messages which broadcast an aircraft's identification, GPS position, projected aircraft trajectory and navigation system status to allow controllers to accurately track the aircraft`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Nov 21 at 2052, RHC in English, S9+10/20 direct, while this frequency is supposed to be in a break unlike // 15140, weaker S9/+10 and undermodulated.

But not even a JBA carrier from 15770 direct, nor into MD, MO or CA remotes, so off or unpropagable. Nor 7730 which it replaced, only channel still missing since hurricane Ian. {this transmission is always marred at the end by Bishop Bob Biermann, who overrides my last ~5 seconds of closing with a WRMI ID, even tho WOR is always strictly exactly 29:00 minutes including 3 seconds pause at the end. On other emissions this is sufficient to avoid autoverlap} Also confirmed UT Saturday November 19 at 0500 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130 minus 13 Hz = 5129.987, at first via Maryland remote unusually JBA, S1/S2. At 0506, better S4/S7 into New Hampshire remote which one would have suspected too close to Monticello; where the precise measurement was made.

First I checked direct at 2024, and found a JBA carrier amid the S9+10 local high noise level. It`s wintry residual daytime skywave tnx the lowering solar angle, might have been audible 675 km/420 miles away without the LHNL. Also confirmed Sat Nov 19 at 2030 on WRN North America webcast. NOT confirmed on WRMI 15770 at same time, no matter what their self-contradictory skedgrid may show; rather gospel huxter for months, ex-1930 in DST/A22 season.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 21 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, but has heavy noise suspected of being internal defect? Maybe not, as it`s worse into Maryland remote than Missouri, S9+5. Waterfall shows blotchy noise from 7760 to 7800, unlike Cuban jamming. It seems to pause before 0100, resume for gospel huxter. Strange.

Much stronger than usual from this antenna off the side from 222 degrees, since Hurricane Ian; but // 7570 is even stsronger, S9+30/40 so maybe a pipeline has developed instead of antenna change?

Says this will be monthly on third Thursday at 11 pm ET/0400-0500 UT, so next one will be Dec 15/16. News about this from UB came at very short notice, but I do mention it on WOR 2165, only the first SW airing of which happened to precede it immediately at 0330. After musing about how he is going to do the show, most of this is phone conversation with another pirate enthusiast, Brian Penney, columnist for NASWA Journal, with lots of clips of recent Hallowe`en and archived piratecasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 9330+, Fri Nov 18 at 0731, WBCQ WLCR slightly off+plus conveniently, coincidentally? in Spanish, at about equal level to CUBAn Spy Numbers, including uteblaaps, making LAH = low audible heterodyne.

AW later admits he screwed up. Usual opening fawning over how beautiful he thinx his wife is. The are in Deland of Fla where it`s wintry at 60 degrees. Shortly 0106 phone call from William Levi who is from SOUTH SUDAN, discussing his plans for a new SW missionary station. He has visited Monticello. US HQ are in western Massachusetts. They had an FM station 2003-2008 in the war zone; not clear if still on now, but want to go on SW for better coverage, from family property, with a 300` tower for a non-direxional monopole antenna, 2000 km range, 10 kW transmitter powered by 40 solar panels, as there is no grid power; or maybe wind turbines. Frequency to be 11950 kHz, ``Nehemiah Trumpet Call shortwave station``. A Christian firm in S Korea is providing transmitter and antenna. It`s a non-profit, wants donations to: Operation Nehemiah Missions, at a PO Box in Lanesborough MA 01237 - glad I looked that up for correct spellinge; in the NW corner of MA. See www.operations.nehemiah.org You`d never know it from the interview, but they are Messianic Jews, preferred deity monicker Yeshua. Levi was higher-educated in the USA but speaks with a presumably Sudanese accent. This took until 0119.5. By 0121 it`s into politix, claiming that Pres. Biden is a ``senile puppet damaging the country``, blind to the terrible damage to democracy caused by their despicable hero T****. They are glad that Pelosi and the ``demonicrats`` lose control of House. Later admitting that even Republicans are not perfect. Says work on the WBCQ-6 SuperStition antenna is now completely finished, and by mid-winter expect to be up to maximum ERP. I guess that would be February; if it`s finished, why wait? 0134 datestamp as 18 November YOOLF 2022, trimulcasting on 7490, 6160, 5130. By 0140, 7490- is fading down, so 6160- and 5130- are slightly better direct. Hey, WORLD OF RADIO is already running on WRMI bigsig 5850!

Another update early UT Nov 19 from George McClintock, president of WTWW, on the phone. He has inspected the facility further and concluded that the transmitters are in such bad shape that they cannot be put back on air at anywhere near full power without a lot of replacement parts which are harder and harder to find. So now permanently off the air, and officially for sale, price to be determined (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WTWW: More info from the POV of George McClintock, president of Leap of Faith, early UT November 20: A third party is now claiming to own LOF, Inc. This can only be a piece of paper, as LOF is now only a shell corporation according to the TN Secretary of State. George says his name is on the deed of the land. The transmitters are owned by another corporation which has his name on it. The FCC license cannot be transferred without his signature. Like I remarked earlier, a power struggle. He says, only for the name of the corporation with the State of Tennessee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WTWW: another update from George McClintock on Nov 21: Leap of Faith registration with state of TN had expired, but he has now renewed it. No longer seems to be a fraudulent attempt at that by third party, but George`s renewal due notice in the mail may have been intercepted. It has also been claimed that all the modulation cards are on the site, but not so. I have no more interest in listening to Ted`s hard-sell commercials, rock and ham shows on WRMI than on WTWW, but FWIW, this from William Pietschman, Nov 20: ``Ted Randall is back --- WRMI Legends (Ted Randall & Co.) is on: 5:00-6:00 pm Eastern Time daily on 9395 kHz 6:00-7:00 pm ET daily on 5950 kHz 6:00-11:00 pm ET daily on 9455 kHz 9:00-10:00 pm ET Saturday on 5850 kHz (From Jeff White) 73 DE W8LV BILL -Best Regards from radio station W8LV located in Pickaway County, Ohio USA.

Also binnews.com promos. Mostly in ``standard`` English, not obvious ``Black`` accents. NRC AM Log and https://www.binnews.com/stations/ agree their two 640s are for Atlanta and Chicago. BIN site dispenses with callsigns and cities of license. On the E/W longwire, so I should have DFed to tell which, or stayed for ToH legal ID, but by then I`m occupied with 1130, q.v. WBIN Atlanta is U4 50000/1000 watts; WMFN Pentone IL is U4 4400/1600 watts. No echo so likely only one of them. WMFN has a sufficient lobe thisaway, https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WMFN&service=AM&h=N but major lobe is N toward Milwaukee and Lake Michigan. WBIN is almost ND circular, slightly squished N/S oval: https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WBIN&service=AM&h=N HQ appears to be Southfield/Detroit MI, but r-l has an address in Benton TN for WBIN, Ada MI for WMFN. BIN website displays no HQ physical, postal address or location (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Re my 640 kHz BIN log, Greg Hardison explains the strange addresses: ``"...Benton TN for WBIN, Ada MI for WMFN..." WBIN was the call sign for a former Benton, TN facility on 1540, which remanded its license back to the FCC a few years ago; Radio-Locator.com has yet to catch up to this. The modern WBIN/640 is the former WGST, which I'd bet is still control-roomed from iHeart's Atlanta digs, somewhere on Peachtree near Piedmont Hospital. Ada, I believe, is the original home of WMFN?/640, which was moved to the flats between Chicago and Kankakee, determined to be a better location for serving Chicagoland whilst a "full" 30 kHz away from WSCR/670. And there again, R-L drags past glories into the present.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130, Nov 18 at 0759, rock music dominant I always assume be cheating KLEY Wellington KS, supposed to run ONE WATT at night, so we can`t call it a daytimer, likely really full power 250 watts. Hardly anything from 50 kW KWKH which beams west from Shreveport. I keep listening for a definite ID as music runs thru hourtop, till finally at 0803 UT a quick canned multi-station ID with no frequencies, including some FM translators, and KLEY Wellington, KKLE Winfield, both Kansas and sibling stations but supposedly totally separate programming from same studio.
