WORLD OF RADIO #1105, produced November 14, 2001 by Glenn Hauser
*HFCC belatedly posted B-01 frequency schedule November 9, a very
useful reference, help with unIDs, but large file, via:
http://www.hfcc.org/data/index.html
*Radio Studio X, Italy, added a repeat of WOR, Sundays 1730 UT on
1584 kHz and FM
*RFPI grid shows one more airing for WOR, Mondays 1730, but no repeats
*RFPI`s 21 MHz channel audible all day in New Zealand
*WBCQ has new programs until 1 am EST, so repeat of WOR is latened
to 0600 UT Thursdays on 7415, 5.5 hours after first broadcast; how
is this in Europe?
*We suddenly have a new frequency for WOR on WWCR, Fridays at 1030 on
3210 instead of 9475; and Mundo Radial, Fridays 2215 on 3215 ex-9475
*USAF calls back 7460 from WWCR, forcing it to adjust schedule for
Bro. Scare service, now on 9475 and 2390; thus, transmitter #1 can no
longer use 9475 at shoulder periods, so 90m extended 2200-1100
*No USAF usage of 7460 heard yet, but several other broadcsters
including Polisario clandestine
*Hmmm, WWCR extension on 9475 is very bad news for R. Cairo listeners
*WRNO heard relaying New Orleans religious station; clashes with
WYFR on 7 MHz
*William Cooper, Hour of the Time, killed Nov 6 in a shootout with a
deputy sheriff in Arizona, who was in critical condition; Cooper was
a favorite of Timothy McVeigh. Warrant for Cooper`s arrest. Turned
out to be a dangerous lunatic

run``

*R. Habana Cuba`s major frequencies were missing for a week following
Hurricane Michelle, but SSB back sooner
*Spy numbers heard on exact frequency of R. La Voz de Nahuala,
Guatemalan evangelical station, and on 2nd, 3rd harmonics
*unID on 4840 correlates with reactivated XERTA, Mexico City, on a
different frequency every night
*Mexican harmonic on 2 MHz popped up in Vermont, XERLK, Atlacomulco
*Something suspicious about Idea Radio, new Colombian on 7 MHz;
music and accent are not Colombian. Same name and frequency for
former pirate in Genova, Italy, whose manager fled to Colombia
*R. Landell, Brazilian pirate, announces broadcast for UT November 18
*R. Altura, Cerro de Pasco, Peru on new 5 MHz frequency
*Both Argentina`s frequencies in English have heavy interference,
but 11 MHz channel no longer offset

corporate, non-religious, non musical DX program, World of Radio,
