** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Sat Sept 19 at 1457, no signal direct of
course from LRA36, nor at Brasil SDR by 1506, despite RAE special
postponed to this date, 1500-2200 UT; meanwhile, Manuel Méndez
Lugo, Spain, informed us: ``ANTARCTICA, 15476, LRA 36, Radio Nacional
Arcángel San Gabriel, Base Esperanza. According to a WhatsApp received
from the station operator, today Saturday there won't be program. The
operator has been in an Antarctic Chilean base for two weeks. When he
returns to Base Esperanza he will communicate when the station will be
on air again`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Wed Sept 23 at 1523, LRA36 with good
S9+10 signal into Brasilia SDR; tnx reminder from Manuel Méndez, Spain
that it signed on today at *1335 when he could only hear it via
Brasil. YLs conversing and would be near 100% readable by a native
speaker, but they are rapidly casual rather than radio-enunciating.
1540 song; 1543, canned ID for `Corazón Antártico` program, and they
continue chatting, now something about sign-language for the deaf due
to some commemoration date; and then another about sexual exploitation
of children. Worthy causes, but are these even on the radar in
Antarctica?? 1551 song; 1601 ``radio pública`` ID for Antarctica
across Argentina. 1616 cuts off the air during music, but heard no
sign-off or even informal goodbye. Still off when I quit at 1621, as
nominal 1400-1600 sked as usual is very approximate. Will it repeat
later on this Saturday? The delayed Spanish/German/English RAE 7-hour
special postponed until Sept 19 was missed again because the radio op
was away at a Chilean base (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 223-MCW kHz, Sept 17 at 0635 UT, ND beacon dash and YYW,
1000 watts from Armstrong, Ontario.

248-MCW kHz, Sept 17 at 0639 UT, NDB dash and UL, 1000 watts from
Montréal, Québec. A new log for me, but frequently reported from
Michigan over the past sesquidecade. City-to-city distance: 2268 km =
1409 stmi.

[non]. 245-MCW kHz, Sept 17 at 0638, NO signal from YZE, Gore Bay,
Ontario, leaving FS, Sioux Falls SD in the clear; per
dxinfocentre.com, YZE was to be decommissioned on Sept 10 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 371-MCW kHz, Sept 18 at 0619 UT, JBA NDB dash and GW i.e.: 
``371 GW CAN QC KUUJJUARAPIK 2000 55 17 5 -77 45 5`` - dxinfocentre.
A new one on me; wow, what a name! I wonder if the French Canadians
find it any more daunting than the English?

``Kuujjuarapik - Village in Québec, Canada --- Kuujjuarapik is the
southernmost northern village at the mouth of the Great Whale River on
the coast of Hudson Bay in Nunavik, Quebec, Canada. Almost 1000
people, mostly Cree, live in the adjacent village of Whapmagoostui.
The community is only accessible by air, Kuujjuarapik Airport and, in
late summer, by boat. Wikipedia`` Also seems the AP abbr is YGW, but
not in this callsign, no Y; just GW as in Great Whale. Each DX log a
potential learning experience. BTW, I do skip over a number of the
``regular`` beacons, not relogging them every time, but OTOH not
non-logging them either, once heard once (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 340-MCW kHz, Sept 19 at 0630 UT, ND beacon dash and YY,
which is 500 watts from Mont-Joli, Quebec. I was tuned to 339-USB. And
no problem from weak local EI on 341 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 335-MCW kHz, Sept 23 at 0628 UT, dash and YDL, ND beacon of
1000 watts at Chapleau, Ontario; at first under and then over BV in
Arkansas, see U S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHAD [non]. 12050, Sept 18 at 2047, S5-S7 African language, i.e. R.
Ndarason International in Kanuri via Woofferton at 1900-2100;
understation no doubt WEWN Spanish, not a good share for either; but
then neither is hardly targeting OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Sept 17 at 1358: none in the 13s or
higher than: 12880 S5 music, JBA carriers on 12870, 11440, 11100
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13835, Sept 18 at 1357-1400, CNR1 jammer known to be here,
vs RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan; but no others audible WOOB in the 14s,
13s, 12s, 11s or 10s. 13855 Chinese, OTOH is `legit` CRI via illegit
East Turkistan, land of Uyghur persecution (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11100, Sept 20 at 1359, CNR1 jammer JBA, only one found in
very quick pre-1400* scan, no others WOOB in the 13s, 12s, 11s, 10s. I
continue to see list-logs of these elsewhere as if they were the
targeted Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 17 past 0500, anonymous missionary station is
still going with M&W dialog, VG at Bonaire SDR. Also audible at 0622
direct S6-S7 with talk. Manuel Méndez. Lugo, Spain, points out:

``Hi, Glenn, despite the religious station on 4940 mentioning a lot of
times "Colombia", and it has programs like "Lecciones de la Historia
Colombiana", always announcing UT -4 time, instead of UT -5. Years ago
a Venezuelan station transmitted on 4940 kHz, Radio Amazonas, Puerto
Ayacucho. It is possible this religious station is using the Radio
Amazonas transmitter? The religious station is heard every day here in
Reinante, Lugo, North West of Spain with weak to very weak signal.
This weekend I will be in Friol and there I will have better
conditions to hear it. Best 73,s``

Puerto Ayacucho is right on the border with Colombia, near the NE
corner of that country, and not too far from one of the TDoA results,
Marahuaca national park, Amazonas, Venezuela (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 19 at 0245, good via TWR Bonaire SDR,
anonymous missionary station with nice tropical music seemingly
secular enough, but merely some relief as long-winded Spanish gospel
huxter resumes at 0250 citing Ezekiel XL et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 20 at 0343 check on Bonaire SDR, no signal
from anonymous missionary station; yet there is something JBA on the
Warrenton MO SDR I had just retuned from 1860 for WOR check (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 21 at 0330, via Brasil SDR, no signal tonight
from anonymous new missionary station, apparently still testing.
Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, agrees: ``New Colombian 4940 seems to be
out of air today --- COLOMBIA?, 4940, new religious station, checked
at 0445-0506, 21-09, no audio and no carrier detected`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) 

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 22 at various chex 0056/0400 on TWR Bonaire 
SDR, no signal again tonight from anonymous missionary station (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 22 at 2300, no signal from anonymous
missionary station into TWR Bonaire SDR. Early on, someone caught them
signing on at this hour, with third verse of Colombian national
anthem. Still nothing Sept 23 at 0045 at SDRs in Colombia, DR. So
missing for third night in a row; test phase over, and now what? Have
the S American DX groups come up with anything definite about true
transmitter location and even a name for it if never uttered? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 24 at 0138, again no signal from anonymous
missionary station, at Caribbean Netherlands SDR. But there is a JBA
signal showing on the AMSynch as carrier varying around -29 Hz, just
right for R. San Antonio, Perú as previously measured on 4939.971
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 600, Sept 23 from 2350, dominant signal at TWR Bonaire
SDR is Radio Libertad, HJHJ, Barranquilla, with usual preacher? or
advisor? soon giving phone number several times, 304-531-6140, copied
for sure. Googling that goes nowhere except maybe West Virginia, for
which 304 is the area code: I think not. No known international
country code 304. Also mentions Maranoa, but searching on that leads
only to a region in SE Queensland, Australia: I think not. 

Rebelde Cuba maybe the understation. Before hourtop 2359 full ID for
Radio Libertad, HJHJ and *disclaimer* that following program does not
reflect editorial opinions of that station. Into VOA relay, but
starting with announcement about it being on HJHJ. Not hearing any
jammer from Venezuela yet, as had been reported. 0030 Sept 24, break
for HJHJ ID, ``enlace con la Voz de América`` --- this is so smooth I
suspect it not be a live feed, but produced in HJHJ studio from
previously accessed podcasts. Rebelde in background // 710 via Key
West SDR. Recheck 0125 about the same (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
See also VENEZUELA [non]

** CUBA. 15370, Sept 18 at 2044, no signal from RHC until cut/on unmod
S9+20 carrier at *2044.6. Supposed to be on already from 2000
Portuguese, 2030 Arabic. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Sept 19 at 1501 UT, S9+10 of dead air from CRI English
relay; then, straining, a trace of JBM. Maybe will upbuild.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13806 & 13674, Sept 19 at 2114, FMish spurblobs with
unreadable audio but signature F# tone, out of RHC Spanish 13740 at
S9; 66 kHz intervals. Just traces at double distances, approx. 13608 &
13872. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But in the mornings, 13700 has
been clean for quite a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. RHC spurblob survey, Sept 22 at 2200 out of 13740 S9+25:
13675 S6-S7; 13610 S5; 13806 S4-S5; at 65-66 kHz intervals; next one
at 13870 blocked by strong RTTY S9+25. Something`s always wrong at
RHC; but there were none circa 1400 out of 13700 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 23 at 0201, R. Rebelde S9+20 and suptorted! Wiggle
that patchcord. 5055, JBA carrier at same time, no doubt leapfrog
mixing product of 5025 over 5040 RHC from same site. 

4765, Sept 23 at 0207, R. Progreso is still on but also suptorted.
Recheck at 0619, still 5055 JBAC as 5040 fulcrum is prolonged past
0600. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9470, Sept 19 at 0122, American English
discussion, must be CRI, S7-S9 with flutter, and // 9580 much stronger
and steadier CUBA relay, of which 9470 is a few words ahead. Yes, it`s
via Kashgar this hour only, land of ChiCom imperialist persecution,
brainwashing/re-education of native Uyghurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9865, Sept 21 at 2341, Asian? music, S7-S6 with 
flutter up/down in strength and also sidewise in frequency, i.e. 
Doppler from near trans-polar path. Could AIR Vividh Bharati service be 
back? No, it`s CRI Chinese via Urumqi, land of Chicom imperialist 
brainwashing of native Uyghurs, scheduled this hour, and Bengaluru not
until later if at all.

[non]. 7295, Sept 21 at 2355 YL song, then Chinese announcement over, 
S8/S9+10, and by golly it`s // 9865. This too is CRI but via MALI just 
about to end its broadcast day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15685, Sept 22 at 2205, S4-S6 of Vietnamese talk; modulation
seems irregular, surging/slightly distorted. Is KSDA at 22-23 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUINEA [and non]. 9650, Sept 18 at 2040, JBA carrier, could it be
RTG? Unheard for quite a while, maybe QRP or is its only SW frequency
kaput? It was reported Aug 13 at 1710 by DJM in the British DX Club. 

Aoki/NDXC shows VOK in Japanese does not start 9650 until 2100. Use it
or lose it: 9650 is also one of the frequencies planned for WIPE, the
DRM/HF trading crypto pending in NJ, as per the drmnainfo blog:

``Frequencies are stated to be 9650, 11850, 13720 and 15450 kHz. Mode
is listed as DRM with emission designator 10K0G7W (which is consistent
with 10 kHz DRM).`` Depending on the timing, other WIPE frequencies
could conflict with Romania, Turkey, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3325, Sept 20 at 1228, a dekaminute after sunrise here,
considerable S5-S7 carrier above S5 noise level, but no modible.
Perhaps Ron Howard will have noted which of Bougainville and Indonesia
were active today, or both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDONESIA. Re my UNIDENTIFIED. 3325, --- Ron Howard replies:
``Hi Glenn, Sept 20 - Only VOI on 3325 today; at 1145, weak signal in
Chinese; at 1322, with "Indonesian Wonders," during their English
hour, but not very readable. The // 4749.95, via Cimanggis/Jakarta,

carriers of VOH/VOP, Sept 20 at 1358: 3480, 3910, 3930, 3985, 4450
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 5009.923, Sept 22 at 0241, JBA carrier, no doubt RNM 
always off-minus, now that WRMI has finished with 5010 at 0230* 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 650, Sept 20 at 1202, Radio 65, XETNT, Los Mochis, Sinaloa
full ID/sign-on? Touting 200-meter tower, presumably for FM, and how
it exploits Hertzian waves. LSR now 1218, so still audible at 1222,
hymn in Spanish with tuba oompahs, rather than newscast since it`s
Sunday. OtherMexes still audible on 640, 700, 710, and:

730, Sept 20 at 1221, Parral mentioned in some kind of promotion, so
XEHB, Chihuahua, probably already on 50 kW day power (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960-, UT Sun Sept 20 at 0024, The Mighty KBC
has heavy QRM from always-off-frequency-minus EAST TURKISTAN domestic
service, as heard by UTwente SDR making a LAH = low audible
heterodyne; but by the time it gets from GERMANY site to Maine SDR,
loud and clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEWFOUNDLAND [and non]. 2598-USB, UT Wed Sept 23 at 0224, marine
weather by roboYL in English, mentioning forecasts for Fri & Sat. Per
http://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
the most recent start time among the six stations alternating on this
frequency is 0207, from VOJ-6, Port-aux-Basques NL, with 400 watts.
Its other airings all start at :07 or in one case :37 past the hours.
And is bilingual with French.

2749-USB, UT Wed Sept 23 at 0225, marine weather by roboYL in French,
S7-S9; glad these are seasonally showing up again, but still plenty
noise level. Quite a while ago, but most recent start time on sked is
0140 from VAR-9 Yarmouth (Halifax) NS, 1200 watts in English/French.
All its emissions start at :40 past certain hours. As usual catching a
specific ID source is very difficult, let alone a callsign if ever
uttered. 2054, 2514 & 2582 are other such Canadian frequencies, but
scheduling or distancing very unfavorable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935-USB, Sept 19 at 0000, after a brief tone, some
CW too weak to read but presumed Radio Nova ID, as per tip from FRN
via Harold Frodge that it would broadcast now.
http://www.frn.net/vines/read.php?13,8326,8326#msg-8326
I`m listening via a Rochester remote as on short notice I am just
getting ready for AAAWWW on WBCQs. It`s really too weak to make much
of, might have been better had I fished around other SDRs or even
turned on an own radio; 0042 still going with music, slightly
stronger, off by 0050. Several more logs with playlists:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,71791.0.html
One more log says it was on 6930-USB by 0104 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, Sept 19 at 0125, piano jazz at S9/+10, a
better signal here than I am getting from WRMI 7780 after 0130. 0131.5
YL ID as Ballsmacker Radio, tenpins SFX; mostly music but periodic
IDs, 0143 something about ``good old - kHz AM``. Still going at 0205
as ``9 PM Eastern [sic]`` and ID; 0238 still on music down to S7-S8.

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, Sept 20 at 0058, only pirate now with rock
music, 0059 unreadable YL announcement; only S1-S2. Perhaps
Ballsmacker Radio which was on this frequency last night, but much
stronger then. Several logs of BSR:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,71863.0.html
but lead to this last one, starting: ``This was NOT Ball Smacker. It

** OKLAHOMA. 267-MCW kHz, Sept 22 at 0622 UT, ND beacon HET, 25 watts
at Henryetta; heard before, but rarely. This encourages me to search
out *all* the OK beacons listed at dxinfocentre.com as a checklist for
me, with quite a few I have never heard, and wonder if really on the
air as I do hear 25-watters out-of-state; two of these from adjacent

** OKLAHOMA. Area tropo enhancement blob in NW OK up to Level 4, not
really extending to OKC, but only DX signal decoding via my broken
antenna is from there, Sept 18 at 0314 UT:

RF 21, KUOT, same PSIP on all subchannels tho real call is KUOT-CD:

21-1, bug in UR has a circle with arrow pointing straight down.
rabbit-ears says it`s Cornerstone
21-2, missing! r-e says should be IBN Television; what`s that?
21-3, 3ABN
21-4, no bug, Amazing Facts

All remain solid until dropping below decode level at 0333.

Meanwhile BAD DX signals showing: 10, 12, 20, 22, 28, 31, 32, 34, 36.

BTW, I`ve almost quit bandscanning above RF 37 due to progressive
repacking; but I see lots and lots of 38+ are still listed at
W9WI.com; do they really still exist? (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11650, Sept 21 at 2125, travelog in Spanish with slight

Tsiganeshti, and mentions Brasov; only S2-S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Sept 18 at 2209, REE English VG at UTwente,
Alison with detailed critical reviews of `Don Quixote` music by Anton
Rubenstein --- finally, something about Spain, altho fantastical! DQ
finally plays at 2213, performed by Slovak Philharmonic (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Tue Sept 22 at 2214, VOT VG this time S9/+20 direct
and no NSS RTTY audible, off already? Ending `Review of Foreign
Media`; then the multi-lingual ID reel time-filler which lasts 110
seconds. Next time I should count how many different IDs there be, as
I suspect some are in there which are not really on VOT SW now, maybe
webcast, such as Portuguese which is not among only 24 in the WRTH
2020. Also heard ``Burasi ---`` more than once, which is Turkish, but
must also apply to related dialects. If there are really 24, they
would average 4.6 seconds each. Next item at 2217, `Water Culture in
Anatolia` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 335-MCW kHz, Sept 23 at 0628 UT, ND beacon BV, soon overcome
by a Canadian, q.v. At first thought it was Bartlesville OK until
rechecked its frequency, only 201 kHz. This BV is Batesville - Almond,
Arkansas, 25 watts.

347-MCW kHz, Sept 23 at 0633 UT, NDB AFK which is 25 watts from
Nebraska City, NE.

356-MCW kHz, Sept 23 at 0634 UT, NDB ODX, 25 watts from Ord, which is
in central Nebraska, NNW of Grand Island. Beacons from this
second-adjacent state are regulars here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4000-USB, Sept 22 at 0005, AAR5ED calling AAR5EZ, in a MARS 
net on a frequency barely outside the ham band as long as there is no 
LSB like the hams. I suppose a ham could really use 4000-LSB. More 
traffic and weak contacts follow, lingo like ``wilco``. Googling on 
call AAR5EZ, I get no significant hits; on AAR5ED I get nine, two of 
which lead to my own significant previous log of *2017y*:

``5394.5-USB, Feb 23 at 1351, MARS net with abbr`d calls 5AP, 5BR,

** U S A. 8764-USB, Sept 21 at 2344, Tropical Depression Beta marine 
weather info, but you better know your geographic coördinates to make 
any sense of it. Almost the only voice to be heard in this entire MHz. 
EiBi shows this is NMG, USCG New Orleans until 2350.

8502-USB, Sept 21 at 2349, marine weather for Bahamas, North Atlantic 
coördinates, but exactly same synthom voice as on 8764, to which I 
compare it -- by golly, they are // within a reverb or maybe less with 
different DSP on two receivers, also NMG? No, this one is NMN, USCG 
Chesapeake VA, also until 2350, now both stations re Atlantic. I didn`t 
realize different USCG sites were linked for simulcasts, as each would 
have its own prime coverage area. 8502 is slightly weaker, S9+10 vs

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2052 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
September 19 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+20 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Sun Sept 20 at 0316 already in progress at Hungary
item, on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO via nearby Warrenton SDR. Both
this and afternoon airing have some slight skipping, playback problem
or SDR problem? Tuned in direct at 0336 finds even stronger S9+20/30
and skipping also audible, finishing at 0336.8 so started early about
0307; next show, Ham-Sci also skipping. Next:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2052 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday September 21 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct but with portable
antenna only, some deep fades.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, VG at Maine SDR,
also a few words apart via WRN webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 at 0230 on WRMIs 5800 to SSE and 7780 to
NE, both equally VG S8-S9 at Rochester SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 from 0300:26 on Area 51 (61?) via WBCQ
on new 6159.9 replacing 5130 as planned. I had started monitoring
6159.9 via Rochester remote at 0157 when JL was VG S8-S9; but by 0255
it had faded to JBA, at first thought off. So move to another SDR at
further skip distance, Alexandria VA, holding up to S9+25. By 0315 it
has faded there to S9 and noisy, so try the OKC SDR: only S6; then I
try the Edinburgh, Indiana one: better S8, AM Synch shows +36.8 Hz
carrier above tuned to 6159.90. At 0332 shortly after WOR has finished
and HRI has started, I tune in direct at S9/+10, and measure it at
6159.929. In any event 6 MHz band reception at this distance from
Maine is generally superior to 5 MHz, quite aside from any difference
in outpower there may well be. But 6 MHz also loses closer-in coverage
as the skip distance lengthens into the night.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 21 at 0330 on WRMI 9955: no good at Bonaire
or Rochester SDRs, JBA in Maine with pulse jamming also audible;
direct to here at 0336, however, is F-G S7-S8 with jamming hardly
audible.

Also confirmed Monday Sept 21 at 1801 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria; recorded
via UTwente for later checking, so no timings to the second. Usual
open carrier came alive circa 1759 with tail of `Off the Hook` urging
pledges to WBAI, the Pacifica New York station. That`s a good leftish
media show I hadn`t heard in years and had no idea it would be on IRRS
for less than a minute. It`s on the WBAI skedgrid
https://www.wbai.org/schedule/
Wednesday Sept 23 at 7-8 pm EDT = 23-24 UT; but not on the incomplete?
program roster or podcast list. But it is here:
https://www.wbai.org/program/?program=76
leading to here:
https://www.2600.com/offthehook/

1800, quick sign-on by IRRS falsely claiming this is USB reduced
carrier, and three FSN headlines. 

As for WOR from 1801, usual annoying splash from plus/minus 10 kHz
stations, even on medium bandwidth AMSynch; and still no 7291 warble.
Spotchex of recording find it generally OK and not truncated at the
end 1830, except circa 1817 bad sticking and stuttering. Since there
was complete silence interspersed, I hope this was an internet problem
out of, rather than into, UTwente. I can never be certain that every
WOR airing go out unscathed unless I listen live to every minute of
every one of them, a bit much. Thus I appreciate knowing from anyone
who happen to hear a problem. Next:

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2052 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday

check direct at 0050 was S8/+10.

Also confirmed UT Tue Sept 22 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9+20 at 
Bonaire; I listen to whole thing in background and it is not 
interrupted at 0350 like happened last week. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday  WRMI 7780 to NE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2052 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday
September 23 from 2100:17 on WBCQ 7490.0, VP S5-S6 in noise level.
Frequency has been adjusted; it was long about 7490.06, yesterday
7490.02. I check during Turner at 0145 Sept 24 a Rochester KiwiSDR
which has SynchAM showing carrier varying slightly at minus 25 Hz,
i.e. 7489.975v, almost on spot.

Also confirmed UT Thu Sept 24 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9+10 direct
but more undermodulated than usual, a strain to copy. 0126 check via
UTwente, also undermodulated, but not such a problem at a tolerable
steady S9+10. Final SW airing of this edition. New WOR 2053 should be
ready by early UT Fri Sept 25 for first broadcasts on WRMIs at 0130 on
5010, 5850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, Sept 17 at 0623, not just a JBA carrier, but VP S8-S9
of music, presumed WRMI extra frequency/transmitter, maybe on more
than exciter power, or a fluke propagational pipeline. Not // any
other WRMI frequency, mostly TOMBS. Still nothing whatsoever about
this on WRMI skedgrids --- at this hour half the 14 transmitters are
not scheduled: #2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, Tue Sept 22 at 2210, WRMI-6 with discussion of
far-right conspiracy theories about antifa, BLM leading to a communist
revolution in America --- taking them seriously! More Alex Jones? No,
the host is Bob Biermann, who has quietly started a second show on
WRMI besides his low-key musings on `Your Weekend Show`, with a
religious undertone since he is after all a bishop or something in an
obscure sect; but in keeping with his rightward leanings, now it`s
high-key politix, on skedgrid as `Truth 2 Ponder` this hour only Mon-
Fri. And on the programming page:

``On Monday, August 31st, a new Radio Show and Podcast called “Truth
to Ponder” begins. It all kicks off at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, and is
hosted by Bob Biermann, who is also host of “Your Weekend Show.”

We certainly live in a time the likes of which we have never seen
before. Today, separating truth from fiction and fake from real is not
always easy. From the Pandemic to Politics, to Tech Tyranny and
overreaching control, Bob Biermann and a group of talented and
experienced individuals will sort through today’s news, and present
“Truth to Ponder.”

What did someone say about broadcasts containing ``truth``?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Tue Sept 22 at 2218, Radio EmmaToc on WRMI with a
Radio Caroline clip, S9+25/30 with some jamming audible only at fades.
I suppose this qualify as a `media program` so will add to my
DX/SWL/Media Program schedule. WRMI programming claims it is a
*monthly half-hour*, but grid shows a full hour at 2200-2300; need to
check what`s really on at 2230. And other times not confirmed lately:
UT Thu 0000-0030 on 9955, and UT Mon 0100-0200 on 9455. I guess a
monthly hour or semihour repeated for 4 weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490, UT Sat Sept 19 at 0000, first monitoring webcast, WBCQ
has A&A conversing before the WTO theme plays for `AAAWWW`; almost
immediately interrupted by phone call from annoying Freddy, a good
excuse to tune out. Recheck at 0022, Freddy is just now being let go!
Whew. Allan then says he has been working on rebuilding #1
transmitter; the one donated by WRMI, just waiting for Tim Tron to
come up from Skowhegan and put the finishing tuneups on it. TT seems
putting off coming to Monticello, despite low COVID-19 rate there. I
think AW said or implied it`s the #3 transmitter which is currently on
7490, but also mentioned a #2. I wish we had a clear roster of all six
WBCQ SW transmitters, by number and which frequency they occupy. Has
the ex-WRMI unit hauled from FL last year, ever been on the air yet at
WBCQ? All except the 500 kW, i.e. ``classic WBCQ`` have to be rewired
for single-phase power. At 0030 A&A get into discussing conspiracy
theories, this week coming off a bit milder. Now I check the other
frequencies at Rochester remotes: 5130 is S7-S8; 3265 nothing; 6159.9
is S9; 7490 no signal! 9330 WLCR in Portuguese is S6-S7. ``Biden can`t
win since he`s partially demented``. O yeah? 0050 about an hour late,
word arrives that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. On his best
behavior AW does not denounce her as a socialist/communist, but ``may
she be reunited with our lord and savior in heaven; RIP``. Wait a
minute, she`s Jewish! But so was AW, originally, so he should know the
difference. Before they finish at 0100, I check Alexandria VA SDR for
7490 and it`s OK there, S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Regarding the late Justice Ginsburg being treated as if she
were a Christian: among the wall-to-wall TV coverage, the crowd
spontaneously gathered outside the SCOTUS building broke into hymn,
`Amazing Grace`. This is one of the best-known Christian hymns, not
ecumenical, Judeo-Christian, from its very origins in a conversion.
https://www.learnreligions.com/amazing-grace-701274 
However, the original lyrix do not mention J.C. at all, and thus could
be taken as more generic. But is it ever sung in synagogues? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490 webcast), UT Sun Sept 20 roughly 0007-0022 I catch
part of `AAAWWW` on WBCQ repeat that I skipped yesterday at same time.
Freddy is asking questions, so we get a bit more info about WHRI.
Complains he can`t find many views of that facility online, but WBCQ
will fix that once in charge. AW has visited Cypress Creek once, says
the facility was well-built originally for the Christian Scientists
(as WSHB); has three Diesel generators and as a peaking plant can sell
excess power back to the utility. Antennas are curtains capable of
handling 500 kW. About having been working on the WBCQ #1 transmitter
for 6? weeks, says he hopes it will not burn up again --- oh, that
one. It`s still confusing what`s #2 and what`s #3, and what number the
ex-WRMI one is or will be; and is that the original Wilkinson from
Radio Clarin, or not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6159.93v, UT Wed Sept 23 at 0231, WBCQ good in what I
assumed would be `Amateur Radio Roundtable`, moved from 5130, but
chops off air at 0231.7* before I could confirm that, and before I
could finish remeasuring it; and does not come back by 0257. Not
overall power failure, as 7490.02v is still on BSing. But the updated
sked for 6160,
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=6160
shows `Hal Turner`, from 0100 only until 0200, as already scheduled
there. `A.R.R.` is one of only two programs still shown on 5130, at
0100-0230 UT Wed and the chopoff time here correlates, but I believe I
had checked 5130 before and heard nothing. Maybe the third semihour
was tacked on 6160 after Hal? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555-USB, Sept 18 at 1451, no signal from WJHR; recheck at
2043 can`t decide if a trace of not. The SWBC station, or rather
glorified ham rig, most likely to have been blown away by Hurricane
Sally, Milton FL near Pensacola. Seldom audible anyway. It will be of
note if anyone definitely hear it again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (5085 webcast), UT Sun Sept 20 at 0022, WTWW-2 has already
started TONITO in such music. This week are recordings performed by
John Ferguson, January 1995, at Paramount, Indianapolis, immediately
before that organ was dismantled and trucked off to storage, unknown
where. 0048 outro, Bob Heil has finally come up with a new program
name since he moved to Belleville IL, `Theatre Organ Under The Arch`
--- so we have to retire `TONITO` for Theatre Organ Not In The Ozarx`,
henceforth TOUTA. A different very noisy organ recording plays on
until 0052 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5072.1 & 5097.9, Sept 23 at 0203, can no longer detect
parasitic spur carriers out of 5085 WTWW-1, which have been there for
years; despite 5085 hitting S9+20/30 with some hum. Something must
have been tweaked. But now there is a distorted blob circa 5082 at
S9+10/20, without a match circa 5088. Recheck at 0620, 5085 in S9+30
of dead air, eventually revived with rock song, in German? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9980, Sept 22 at 2219, WWCR Brother Scare is quite weak,
only S7-S9, while another WWCR is blasting in BS, S9+35 on 9350. Both
supposedly 100 kW; 9980 #4 at 90 degrees, 9350 #2 at 85 degrees, so
they should be the same here, and 9980 often blasts in too, until
2400. Could the current MUF lie between 9350 and 9980? Unlikely. Must
be something else, like reduced power (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Sept 23 at 0616, WWCR in dead air yet again, S9+30,
while 3215 and much weaker // 5890 are still modulating BS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, Sept 23 at 1448, JBA carrier, fading to no carrier
from KVOH, usual situation here. I wonder how well it be doing to
further targets, but do not get around to rechecking until 1703:
absolutely no better here now when it might have built up, but E is
much more sporadic now than summer, with the 6m maps often showing
*no* Es to any MUF. Now I check various remotes not far off its
100-degree beam: Key West, JBA S6 which is more from its noise level.
Dominican Republic: nothing. Bonaire: VP S5 with AMSynch at -9.0 Hz
where I have often measured it here, and with ACI from BBC 17780 S7.
Pardinho, Brasil: JBA S5, must use LSB to avoid splash from 17780 BBC
in English, at S9+25, Ascension of course, this hour only --- those
lucky Brazilians! But why in the world on an almost empty band, are
these on adjacent channels?? Such are the drawbax of being stuck on a
single too-high frequency even thru solarmin (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Projected WIPE DRM frequencies from NJ: See GUINEA!

** U S A. 1360, Sept 20 at 0453-0501 UT, toward end of another WNJC NJ
DX test, I listen closely tuned to 1361-USB for any sign of tones,
sweeps or Morse IDs, but nada. By 0500 I switch back to 1360 in time
to hear a Sioux City ID from KSCJ, bong and CBS news --- the dominant
station here and one of only three with as much night power as 5 kW,
altho direxional, the others residing in CT and OR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** UZBEKISTAN [non]. 15310, Sept 18 at 1452, VP S6-S7 talk about even
with noise level; also noted other days as OOFSOB [one of few signals
on band]. Aoki/NDXC shows this hour only it`s R Liberty in Uzbek via
Woofferton UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA [non]. 600, VOA via R. Libertad, COLOMBIA: I have not
monitored since its première UT Sept 16, but Don Moore now reports
Sept 19:

``Colombia/Venezuela: There has been discussion in Cadena DX, the
Latin American Facebook group, on the VOA programs via Radio Libertad
600 kHz in Barranquilla, Colombia. Santiago San Gil in Barinas wrote
that normally Radio Libertad was received there with "acceptable
signals" but that since the programs began there has been significant
co-channel interference. Fernando Viloria in the coastal Venezuelan
state of Carabobo says he has been hearing an unlisted station calling
itself "Radio Verdad" and "La Emisora de la Alegría" on 600 kHz. The
station has not announced a location. Several DXers wrote of tuning
the Radio Libertad programs on the remote SDR in Bonaire. They report
it is putting in a good signal to Bonaire. (Don Moore)``

A great many Venezuelan radio stations have gone off the air, tnx to
government persecution and/or the economic situation. Was there ever a
600? Yes, first checking a WRTH 2014 at hand:

YVSW, 15 kW, R. Alto Llano, Sta Bárbara de Barinas. I wonder if SSG
remembers that one? In fact only one of two MW stations in that state
at that time.

YVSW also in WRTH 2005, when there was a second 600: YVQB, 10 kW,
Radio Sucre, Cumaná, Sucre, whose address was in a building called
Libertad. 

In 2005 WRTH there were a number of stations around the country named
Radio Alegría, or Radio Fe y Alegría, probably a group or network. Do
not see any with Verdad in their names. 

There may have been remnants of these outlets which could be pressed
into jamming disservice in short order; or any MW transmitter could
soon be retuned to 600. Connecting to a proper-wavelength antenna
could be quite another matter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See COLOMBIA

1107, 1125, 1215, 1305(2), 1413, 1485, 1503. *strongest one, Algeria
but a few minutes later no longer so (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 20 at 0601,
starting downward from 846 which must be the lone TP, from Kiritimati,
then upward, so here not in the order heard: 531, 549, 558(2), 576,
612*, 621(2), 639(2), 657, 666, 747, 774(2), 801, 837*,  846, 855(2),
891, 936, 1089, 1098(2), 1125(2), 1134(2), 1179, 1215(2), 1224,
1305(2), 1503, 1629***, 1710(2 - domestic). * = strongest; (2) at
least two carriers beating, at a wide variety of pitches or SAH rates,
but obvious when tuned 1 kHz below on USB. I`m surprised that no one
else seems to do this.

***the 1629 carrier is especially intriguing; usually I don`t even
bother to continue 9-kHz scans across the x-band for TAs, as WRTH
stops at 1611; but there are countless Europirates beyond its scope,
and presumably low-powered. For example, Roberto Pavanello, Italy
recently logged: ``1629 14/9 22.10 R. Toulouse - Dutch MX suff.``
In British DX Club Communication, Axel Röse in Neuss, Germany had a
couple of daytime logs in August on 1629 of ``Z[ender?] Monza, D``, I
guess meaning Dutch land, or Dutch language? rather than German.

A different story for Australia, tho it`s a bit too early yet; WRTH
page 88 shows eight legal LPs on 1629, maximum 400 watts, and these
sometimes do make it to the west coast DXers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Sept 20 at
1152-1158 UT before LSR here of 1218 UT, on the E-W longwire so no
DFing, could be both E Asia and Down Under: 558, 594, 603, 612(2),
657, 693, 729, 738, 747(2), 756, 765, 774, 819, 873, 945, 972*, 1017,
1035, 1044, 1089, 1098(2), 1107, 1125, 1161, 1323. * = strongest,
likely Korea South. I really miss the top-MW 2850 signal now off from
Korea North. I do get carriers circa 1230 on 3250, 3320 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 22 at
0613-0620: 531, 558, 603, 612, 621, 684, 711, 747, 774(2), 837,
*846(TP), 855(2), 882(2), 936(2), 1098(2), 1107(2), 1116(2), 1305(2),
1413, 1503(2), 1575; 1710(2-domestic) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 23 from 0212:
531, 549, 576, 603, 612, 621, 684, 693, 711, 729, 747, 774, 801, 837,
855(2), 882(2), 891*, 909, 999, 1026, 1044, 1053, 1089*, 1107, 1125,
1134(2), 1179(2), 1215*, 1305(2), 1449, 1467; 1710(2, domestic)
*strongest; (2)= at least two carriers beating (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6970-AM, Sept 19 at 0238, JBA carrier while I am still
getting Ballsmacker on much stronger 6960; another pirate? None
reported in HFU but is also a Sound of Hope frequency, so maybe CNR1
jamming but would have to be from far west China possibly to
propagate. Seems there has also been a mixing product reported here,
Cuba? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13587-USB, Sept 18 at 1359, 2-way in colloquial Spanish,
as I am futilely bandscanning for CNR1 jammers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13855, Sept 19 at 2113, S5-S7 of open carrier/dead air,
much stronger than 13845 WWCR and 13840 RNZP. In our mornings CRI is
there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13855, Sept 20 at 1359, open carrier as heard yesterday
at 2113, likely intracontinental, now with trace of CRI under (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
