BC-DX TopNews WWDXC #945 BC-DX 945

--- [later] The Mt Ceneri (rather Cima di Dentro) 558 kHz transmitter is
probably still kept in operational condition, some time ago apparent tests
with a tone have been observed.

- yes 765 kHz channel would be the best MW channel in central Europe,
towards southwest France, Spain, Portugal. Beromuenster 531 kHz is
silenced for ever. Cima di Dentro from Swiss Tessin 558 kHz towards Italy
suffers much co-channel QRM. (wb)

WINB did have a third frequency, 9355 in the latter part of A-10 for the
hours during which Brother Scare had replaced Tony Alamo on weekdays,
since BS wanted to be on 9 MHz band instead of 13, but 9265 was supposedly
not available between 16 and 21, registered for the long-silent WMLK, but
WMLK if on would take Saturdays / Sabbaths off according to doctrine, the
opposite of Brother Scare's, so BS did you 9265 thru midday Saturdays
only. The substitute frequency started off being 9335, but after several
weeks, WBCQ complained of adjacent QRM to 9330, so WINB was persuaded to
move to 9355. WINB had waited a full year after his convixion until July
2010 to cancel Tony Alamo. Is that unclear?
I had not reconfirmed 9355 in B-10, but assumed it would still be in use.
However, checked at 1919 UT Dec 8, 13570 is on, not with BS, but with the
androgynous anapaestic preacher, i.e. Global Spirit Proclamation. Not on
9355, which had a weak signal from something else.
At 1957 I check 13570 again to catch a frequency change announcement, but
it is already off. So I then start monitoring 9355 and other frequencies
around there. WINB never shows up; 9355 at 1958 has YFR IS, mixing with
something else, i.e. IBB Saipan. At 2000 YFR starts Romanian from
Okeechobee, tho quite weak here.
At 2002 I check 13570, and now it is back on, not with BS but with more of
GSP!
Undated SW schedule page from Overcomer Ministry Dec 8 shows:
WINB 9355 11Am-12 & 2Pm-4Pm Mon-Fri
i.e. EST, which in UT now would be 16-17 and 19-21 Mon-Fri.
However, neither TOM nor WINB may have adjusted for the one-hour time
shift post-EDT, which ought to put the BS hours to 17-18 and 20-22 UT M-F.
Furthermore, we have now confirmed that TOM/BS is no longer on WINB before
