USA 17920.4v KVOH whining spur audible April 30 at 2006 UT, from
strong 17775 kHz. As usual the match on 17629.6v kHz was much weaker, but
same pitch of whine detectable. They really need to adjust the spurs so
they are of equivalent strength.

15550-USB WJHR audible May 8 at 2008 with usual preaching. How much
longer can they keep up this charade, programming without authorization,
and running low power instead of minimum required 50 kW.
15620 and 15600, spurs from WEWN 15610 quite strong at 2006 May 8,
bothering WYFR 15600 in Polish.
9265, it seems that WINB is encroaching into airtime reserved for the
long-silent WMLK on same: May 8 at 2015 with hymn and nothing on 13570,
WINB's normal mid-day frequency. It's // 9385 WWRB, so the Brother Scare
service, as soon IDed by himself at 2018. I hope no one list-longs this as
WMLK.
Axually WINB staying on 9265 all day Saturday instead of 13570 worx out
fine, since the late Elder Jacob O. Meyer piously took Sabbaths off when
WMLK axually transmitted, so its official imaginary registration is for
16-21 Sun-Fri, while WINB has it 15-21 on Saturdays only. Sabbath is
special for both preachers but they observe(d) it oppositely! Stair adds
more frequencies and times than ordinary days.
Mark Taylor, WI reported an unID on 7449.4, so I checked the next day, May
9 at 0031. There is a very weak spur on 7449.4 from WWCR 7465, preaching
and gospel music, along with a match the same 15.6 kHz displacement above,
on 7480.6. These spurs are old hat from this transmitter; does the same
thing after the QSY to 3215. But they are quite weak so you won't always
hear them. On this date, 7465 started QSY announcement at 0058 and went
off at 0058:35; 3215 came on about 20 seconds later during the steel
drums.
Meanwhile, WWRB, which had been on 3215 before then, broke into Brother
Scare at 0057:35 to instruct "retune to 3145", ID, back to BS for a few
sex, off at 0058:15. Thus there was a 40-second gap from one 3215 station
to the next, well-cooerdinated. I did what Dave told me to do, on one
receiver, and waited and waited. Finally 3145 came on at 0102:20 JIP,
after forcing me to miss almost 5 minutes of BS!
As for WWCR transmitter status, at 2011 May 8, 15825 is JBA; at 2023 I
find 12160 inbooming with Pat Boone; 13845 has PMS but much better on
Anguilla 11775; 9980 is missing.
After 0100 May 9, besides 3215, 4840 and 5935 are also on with separate
programming, but 9980 is still missing as it was earlier on May 8.
