He did, however, run two specials on WBCQ 7490 kHz. This is the opening to one of them. The host has previously quoted this song as "Days of Hard Life" by Lace. The only Lace I can find is a country and western band. This is certainly not their music. In fact, it sounds like it might not even be professionally produced. If it is done by amateur musicians, it is very good, but it just doesn't quite sound professional. Its {sic} not perfectly in time, vocals are very bright and harsh. There is heavy compression, but that's probably from WBCQ's audio processor. I uploaded this for those that are interested in hearing a good quality version of this song.

FYI: ``[WOR] Pirate on 11529.9 kHz. (formerly Hikari FM) to leave SW, in favor of MW (1710 kHz.) -- Hi Glenn - Here is my latest (March 14) correspondence from Ivan, the operator of 1710 kHz. I will miss chasing his SW signal to hear his unique musical selections. Ron Howard (Monterey, Calif.) "Yeah I do not think I should do 11530 anymore and should focus on 1710 kHz. It seems like it is possible to reach your area at night if I dedicate the resources to it. On top of that I am getting attention locally on 1710 kHz. It can be heard 24 kilometers away during the day and that is just with 25 watts. However, as soon as I get a decent signal out, I will move away from 1710 so that I do not have to deal with XEPE {1700} which is strong in your area. I will let you know once I do that. The shortwave transmitter just kind of sucks as compared to the MW transmitter, it is more powerful but the modulator is sensitive and just kind of junk. But class G can be just as efficient as class D, it is just bulkier. I think going forward the plan will be to disassemble the shortwave antenna and use the wire from it to make the inverted L longer and shrink the loading coil. Then I can build a 100 watt class G MW transmitter and will be getting a decently strong signal into your area at night. You can listen in your car, lol, you cannot do that on shortwave {sic}. My hope with 11530 was to reach Asia, but I do not think I can do that with what I have at the moment, I need a directional antenna which is not feasible to put up here. So you can forget about 11530 at this point in time. I am not going to be on it for a while and by the time I will get the idea to try again it will be with a different transmitter and probably in a different location. Last time I tried MW, I failed (I was dumb and didn't use single core wire for the antenna) but this time I am getting out at night so I think It will be better to do it instead. Kind of like killing two birds with one stone here, I get nighttime coverage and local coverage which average people can listen to. Maybe getting into British Columbia is not an option but I think I will reach more people this way. Very Best Regards."`` (via Ron Howard, WOR iog) ``1710 is a non-starter in BC (coastal) as the channel is totally dominated by Travis AFB. He needs to consider another channel.

VOA situation: Not all the staff at Greenville [Grimesland] are full-time employees; seven technicians are personal service contractors (PSC) and are to be put on administrative leave until further notice, but not locked out, unlike some personnel in Washington. Five Government Service Employees remaining are: three supervisors, the chief engineer and a secretary. One person already accepted a buy-out. A former manager has returned. It`s unclear if there will be enough staff to keep running the site 24/7. Perhaps they will at least keep Radio Martí broadcasting as long as the program feed remains. It seems there has been a lot of repetition already in music and talk features to fill the 24-hour schedule. Already planned: GB-8, a 500 kW AEG transmitter is to be retired, as no high voltage transformer can be obtained for it. One of the Kuwait senders, a Continental 417 will be moved in to replace it. Now in doubt is a major expansion of the Kuwait site, three x 250 kW Ampegons, to replace São Tomé, and others. Other relay sites? So far it appears that Tinang, Philippines is still operating (Glenn Hauser, 0451 UT March 16, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. Monitoring by gh: 13820, March 16 at 1457, open carrier S6/S7, 1500 JIP Radio Martí with ID. 11860 was not on at 1457 but is on after 1500. 11930 already running at 1457, S7/9+5, all Grimesland NC site. Presumably about to be abolished. Greenville manager Willford Cooper could not find anything out at 1604 UT March 16. The computer network was down and Greenville getting its Martí programs from satellite. Staff could not put in their time cards, get the daily activity report of operational memos from DC. So if they had been told to shut down they would never know. But by 1654 UT: The order has been passed to Macon Dail, the Chief Engineer, to shut Greenville down. All employees have been told not to show up for work. Alan Furst, Kansas City, reports: ``Martí went off at 16:30 today 3/16.  All transmitters appear to be off in 22 and 25 meters. It happened abruptly, although I wasn't listening closely to know what they said at the end. Was a surprise.`` Many USAGM services are missing frequencies, dead air, filling with music or repeating old programming as the axe is falling; much monitoring of details in the WOR indian ocean group. The White House has quoted Dan Robinson`s critique of VOA as one justification. And Kim Elliott says, ``The zombification of VOA has begun. Listening at 0400 UTC 15 March on 4930 kHz, Botswana relay via an SDR in South Africa: It was the VOA "Worldwide in Five" newscast from March 9 at 0200 UTC.`` - he probably meant 0400 UT 16 March as this was posted a few minutes after that. VOA`s broadcasting of week-olds eclipses Voice of Turkey, where their olds would be no more than 14.5 hours stale. At 1900 UT March 16, via UTwente checking all VOA scheduled frequencies per EiBi: Tigrigna: 9485 BOT & 12040 CVA dead air; 13765 KWT music English: 13590 D-L = Germany music French: 17700 GB OFF Korean: 7465 & 9800 PHT, 9575 THA all with music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 4930, March 17 at 0444, JBA carrier, no doubt VOA BOTSWANA relay still on air, but others report no new programming, and site expected to be closed down later this date. 9775, March 17 at 0455, S7/S9 of music with long pause between tunes, presumably fill music, off by 0459: VOA English BOTSWANA scheduled 0300-0500, still running while HQ in Washington is locked up. Various other relay sites are affected, MW and SW, disappearing from air, replacing with other programming, etc., everyone trying to keep up with this fast-breaking situation, reporting to the WOR iog. Of course this also threatens innocent bystations using USAGM facilities such as Radio Thailand, Pilipinas. Greenville guys were told to shut the power off to the building. That means no A/C and no heat. In NC the equipment will be ruined in a month. It`s over for shortwave (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CUBA [and non] ** U S A [and non].

Sounds like from a single performing group, song after song. Suspect KCWJ MO, Radio Vida. Radio-locator leads to the network website https://radiovida.com/about/ which does not include any station on 1030! HQ is in Weslaco TX, so flagship is KRGE 1290. Also detailed program sched by day and time, https://radiovida.com/programacion/ no zone specified, but should we assume it be CDT = UT-5? Most outlets are in CT, but not all, and there are also in Argentina, Honduras, México. With some blanx and no consistency during the 1-2+ am hour, which might correlate with all the `fill` music I am hearing. Late at night I`m normally offline, but will have to try to match webstream. At 1700 UT, stream runs long string of IDs in English starting with KRGE but not the whole list as on website; did not catch KCWJ included. Are all stations taking the simultaneous network feed, possibly inserting local IDs? How about KCTA 1030 Corpus Christi, 50 kW daytimer + limited hours depending on WBZ SR/SS but should never be on in the nightmiddle. Weekday program sked shows starting at 4 am CT = 09 UT, and final program starting at 8:32 pm = 0132 UT, so until 0200??
