or 5065 but soon settled on 5070. Another check of WWCR-1 found it going strong on 7465 kHz after 2300 UT Feb 5, but almost like someone threw a switch, it became quite weak after 0000 Feb 6. I'm sure propagation would have been inbooming on previous 3240 but who knows, another interference complaint may have knocked them off that too like 3230 before it, which was used only briefly. After 0100, 7465 again had switched to 7490. WWCR's homepage now says: "WWCR's Transmitter #3 will broadcast on 4.775 MHz from 0300-1200 UTC until further notice. WWCR's Transmitter #1 will broadcast on 7490 kHz (moved from 7465 kHz) for 1 hour daily, 0100-0200 UTC. These changes are noted in the program guide, updated 5 February." All these frequencies on 3, 4, 5 and 7 MHz are "out of band", really fixed bands in the US, and broadcasters trying them must take the risks associated with their usage being on a non-interference basis (NIB) to higher-priority transmissions, however sporadic. Complaints from utility stations at home or abroad seem to count for more, or be more likely, than from broadcasters which are in-band tropical stations in their own areas. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Feb 6) Frequency change of WWCR#3 from Feb 3 until further notice: 0300-1200 NF 4775 WCR 100 kW / 040 deg to NoAm, ex5070 (R BULGARIA DX MIX News, Ivo Ivanov, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Feb 8) Re WWCR on 4775 kHz. 4775, 2300-1200 UT. Widely reported to be on 4775 kHz soon, due of complaint to FCC authority. WWCR Nashville TN has this announcement on its website: "WWCR's Transmitter #3 will broadcast on 4.775 MHz from 0300-1200 UTC until further notice. WWCR's Transmitter #1 will broadcast on 7490 kHz (moved from 7465 kHz) for 1 hour daily, 0100-0200 UTC. These changes are noted in the program guide, updated 5 February. " (Transmitter schedule updated 4-Feb is at: ) However last night (Mon 8-Feb) I heard 4775 with a strong signal earlier than above, at 2347 UT (and 5070 was silent) - lady preacher (presumably Sylvia Pearce per schedule) then hymns with harmonium accompaniment. At 0003 UT though, 4775 cut off abruptly. Retuned to 5070 and heard live preacher (Joe Anthony) telling listeners his programme (Voice of the Wilderness scheduled Mon and Fri 0000 UT) would soon be on 4775 kHz instead of 5070 and to check 4775 if you couldn't hear him on 5070. So maybe 5070 will soon be dropped altogether by WWCR? This morning had the misfortune to catch Alex Jones' 'Infowars' at 0630 UT on 4775 in accordance with the revised schedule (5070 was silent).
