BC-DX 841 04 Jan 2008 Private Verwendung der Meldun

aired. I remembered to tune in 11785 kHz before 1400 this past Sunday, and
WHR had a decent signal then with some music being aired, but it went
abruptly off-air at 1400 UT! So even if they claim that they are
transmitting on both UT Saturday and Sunday during the 1400 UT hour, they
are NOT. Only Saturday.
Also, though some info must have shown that there are US-evening WHR
transmissions on 7315 kHz, and I DID hear them on that frequency months
ago, that frequency is no longer listed for WHR in the monthly "Monitoring
Times" SW frequency list during the times DXing with Cumbre is supposedly
aired. I checked the other listed-in-MT WHR frequencies at those times and
they were all carrying other programming or had no detectable signal.
I wish that someone active in the DXw/C group would talk to Marie Lamb and
get her to acknowledge this during the program on the air and maybe
negotiate with WHR to restore US coverage of the program's transmissions
on Sunday and during the weekend evenings. What good is going to the
trouble of producing the program if it doesn't get out to the listenership
over the air on SW? It's not worth doing for an Internet-only audience,
given the subject matter.

Interesting! I must admit I haven't listened to my own show since out at
Baker's Island in July. Maybe that's why I never get reports from here in
the USA, though lots from Japan via the Hawaii transmitter. I know DXing
with Cumbre has a web site with the listing of transmissions, I'll have to
check with Marie as I forget the web site ...
Then again WHRI runs the program gratis and if they get some paid
Christian Preacher who wants the slot, guess who wins out, not the secular
DXing With Cumbre! I will pass on to Marie, but then again, she is not
going to sway the powers that be.

KVOH 17775 at 2240 UT in Spanish on 17 Oct. Very faint, no spurs

per Glenn's recent observations on 15 Oct.

WRNO missing? Has anyone heard WRNO lately, 7505 in the 0100-0400 UT
nominal schedule period? Nothing audible Oct 20 at 0144 UT check. But
propagation not very good. WBCQ audible on 7415, Ukraine poor on 7440.
Also have found WRNO missing some previous nights.
