** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, again this Saturday, Oct 23, no signal
from LRA36, checking from 1509 via Brasil SDR; first camping on
another listener in Salem OR who has been hearing presumably nothing
from quite a while earlier. When on, more likely Wednesdays now,
nominal start is *1400 until 1600* but usually runs a bit, sometimes a
lot, later, chopping off air without any formal closedown/signoff.
Let`s hope the new crew be a bit more savvy about how to do a
broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Oct 27 at 1510 tune-in, LRA36 is on
again this Wednesday, of four Brazil SDRs, best on a Brasília, S2-S3
but buzzy/clicky, OTH radar? Slightly better than Pardinho at first,
JBA at Campo. 1513 Antártida song, 1516 ID; 1527 Pardinho available
and slightly better, S4-S5; often recommended west Iceland SDR at 1535
gets nothing but buzz. Usual mix of frequent IDs, brief talks, two
theme tunes, variety of other music. 1558 ID, Pardinho improves to S5,
less buzz; 1600 ID, historical; 1606 hielo song; 1609 La Radio Pública
ID, music; 1617 ``Nacional Antártida Argentina, en todo el país, la
radio pública`` fuller ID, music; 1621 contact info, ID; 1623 hielo
song on `El Lejano Sur` program, past 1700 still music S5-S7; 1715
music sounds like it`s looping/vamping; 1721 hielo song, 1725
Antártida song, 1728 more music, still going as I tune out. How long
more did they onstay? Sam Sánchez in Oregon was also hearing it
earlier than usual at 1336 via Pardinho and also unusually with house
music. I suppose their FM 96.7 runs much longer or always and who
knows when they will fire the SW up or down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 5939.144v, Oct 23 at 0625, R. Voz Missionária with music
and seems // 9 MHz frequency. Haven`t heard the lower one in some
time, but when on, it`s obvious, way off-frequency from 5940.
9666.086V, Oct 23 at 0627, RVM also still >1 kHz off-frequency with
music, seems // 5939.144v. The upper one keeps jumping back and forth,
hard to tell if plus or minus, but at one point measured here (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. UT October 21, best night so far for LW ND beacons, low
noise level and good propagation, while the night before there was
hardly any propagation especially from the north. Originally
bandscanning downward, 0620-0643 UT:
248-MCW kHz, Oct 21 at 0643 UT, dash and WG, 1000 watts from Winnipeg
MB; traditionally one of the majors but lately obscured by birdies
269-MCW kHz, Oct 21 at 0639 UT, dash and UDE, 50 watts from Delta MB.
I was tuned to 267-USB
290-MCW kHz, Oct 21 at 0637 UT, dash and QR, 100 watts from Regina SK.
Logged as QD but must have been QR
300-MCW kHz, Oct 21 at 0635 UT, dash and YIV, 500 watts from Island
Lake MB
335-MCW kHz, Oct 21 at 0631 UT, dash and YLD, 1000 watts from Chapleau

346-MCW kHz, Oct 21 at 0627 UT, dash and YXL, 500 watts from Sioux

** CHINA. Oct 26 at 2301-2310, many signals correlating with China,
mostly JBA in Chinese, or JBA carriers; WOOB ones most likely jammers
against Sound of Hope:
9830 at 2301, checking whether VOT bonuses an extra German hour after
English, JBA carrier if LSB-tuned to avoid RTTY on USB. But CNR1
Beijing 572 site is scheduled here 2025-0100. Checking Aoki/NDXC.
17820, 17595, JBA maybe Chinese at a time 16m otherwise dead. 17595 is
CNR1 but nothing listed at 2302 on 17820.
Tuning only WOOB areas between 16300 and 12500, Skipping a number of
suspicious 19 and 22 mb inband signals, to: 15100 S3-S5; 14920, 16100;
13920 Chinese S3, 13530 Chinese S3-4, 13160 JBA, 13130, 13020, 12880,
12500 JBA carriers.
12819.85 approx., Oct 26 at 2312, one offset JBA carrier smax of Sound
of Hope itself without jamming, yet unlikely with the known high-power
jammers so weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5040, Oct 23 at 0633, RHC S9+20, still on here in English:
you never know whether it last past 0600 nor whether English or
Spanish. English also still 6060 humbuzzy, 6100 best, quite stronger
than 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Oct 24 at 1419, RHC is S9 of humbuzz only; something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15730, Oct 26 at 2303, RHC Kriyol S9 but extremely distorted.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Oct 27 at 1904, RHC in dead air of S4-S8 instead of
English; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See
also KOREA SOUTH [and non]
** JAPAN [non]. 9705, Mon Oct 25 at 1440, S6-S9 kid chorus of ``Doe, a
Deer, a Female Deer`` seemingly in English, so what`s this? Furusato
no Kaze, clandestine for N Korea via TAIWAN site. Then 1443
announcement in Japanese and another song; was this a language lesson,
and why? ``Sound of Music`` relates to DPRK how? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** JAPAN [non]. 9705, re my Furusato no Kaze log, Ron Howard replies:
``Glenn - Per Hiroshi, it would seem you heard "Doremi No Uta" (DO -
RE - MI). Tree of the Forest Children's Choir -

Ron, California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Oct 26 tune-in at 1516 to Kashmir Civitas,
via IRRS via ROMANIA, S9+25/30 into UTwente in impassioned Urdu speech
with some English terms, ``occupying forces``, ``super-charged``, with
crowd response, also partly understrumming; 1524 cut to studio talk
with strum; 1529* cut off during talk, no IS. Tuesday-only
broadcast.
HFCC shows from next week in B-21, shifts one UT hour later to 1600
Tuesdays only on 15170, 300 kW, 79 degrees from ``Milano``. As Europe
will go off DST, but that should be irrelevant in target. I hope the
Kashmiri be prepared for the change (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. 9805, Oct 27 at 2219, Cuban pulse jamming
tearing up a victim, not R. Martí but KBS World Radio Indonesian hour.
RM is on 9805 only at 10-13 UT but have also heard jamming against
nothing in middle of night. In B-21, RM will not use 9805 at all, but
KBS will use it more. Something`s always incompetent at the
DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Oct 24 at 1420, ME music S8-S9 with a fast
SAH; 1458 still with roughly equal clash, i.e. Denge Welat and TURKEY
jamming. D.W. is supposed to switch site from PRIDNESTROVYE to FRANCE
at 1500, but I detect no break or change as music continues until 1501
one of them starts to talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 11840, Sat Oct 23 at 1700, Station YHWH with usual
earnest sermonizing of nonsense, S5-S7 via VE6JY Alberta SDR, after
hearing nothing via the Jordan, Utah Kiwi, must be too close for skip
distance. Tnx to Rick Barton, Sonoran Desert of AZ, tip via WOR iog,
from 1645. Also S4-S6 but noisier, direct to OK at 1706; and still at
1755 JBA; at 1759, S4-S5 to VE6JY and still past 1816 but gone by 1828
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW kHz, Oct 22 at 1848 UT, I`m in the parking lot of
Enid Woodring Regional Airport a few km east of the city. I take out
the DX-398 which tunes below 530 kHz, and find there is NO signal on
341, no EI beacon ID, and not even a carrier. With internal antenna
only, it does easily hear RG 350 in OKC and PN 515 in Ponca City.
Earlier I had noted this along with a Michigan Area Radio Enthusiasts
Tipsheet item:
``--LW/MW NDBs Dave Tomasko’s NDB logs (in frequency order):
{including:} 20211018 1031 341 EI USA OK Enid 582``
``I find this hard to believe. My local beacon has been unheard for
many weeks, tho checked almost every day and night. Of course it could
have been turned on briefly in the middle of the night once, when I
definitely was not listening. I just checked again and it is certainly
not there --- also logged some other beacons on same frequency such as
OIN in Kansas. I may go out to Woodring Airport with the portable to
find whether there be any sign of it. DT of Galena IL does accumulate
massive NDB logs from all over.``
No info on his equipment, but it looks as if he use some sort of
autologging program. Since then I continue to check 341 frequently,
hearing nothing, or bits of OIN from Oberlin KS (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW kHz, re my observation that NDB in Enid, EI, has
not been heard here in weeks, even from the airport parking lot,
Harold Frodge forwards this reply From Dave Tomasko:
``Heard by Joe Farley 9/26, Doug Springfield 7/24/ Was off for about 6
months between 11/20 to 5/21. Not sure where Glen[n] is checking?? Not
heard here often, but will give it a call out when it shows up. Last
time I caught this guy was 10/19.``
? where I`m checking? About 10 miles away from EI 341 in Enid.
When on it`s always very weak, probably less than rated 25 watts. Or
maybe it get out better via skywave than groundwave? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** SPAIN [and non]. 11670, Oct 22 at 2157 checking for REE signals
direct as token Friday English is imminent: this is the only one
barely audible, unusable, with slight ute QRM minus not plus. If on
air, 11940 should be much stronger tho probably distorted; and no
signals at all on 15520 and for ``North America`` 17855. Recheck 11670
at 2300, via Maryland remote, two equally very poor stations with
almost synchronized timesignals, REE and CNR-2 Business Radio from
Beijing 491 site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Oct 25 at 2200, token English from REE is best
here, S7-S5 but deeper fades to S3; 15520 JBA, 11940 no signal surely
off, 11670 JBA carrier. Amy first corrects a phone number for voice
mail she gave last week but only utters it once and could not copy;
not that I would ever use it. Email is english@rtve.es - less than 2
minutes of news mainly Sudan coup; 2202 feature interviewing a
non-Spanish flamenco guitarist who participated in the soundtrack for
the new James Bond film, and could not catch his name (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** SUDAN. 7206.002, Oct 26 at 0452, Arabish talk, S8-S9 somewhat
undermodulated, 0455 HOA music past 0500+, into UTwente. Sudan Radio,
the only active SW frequency from here, now under control of the
military coup. Checked direct at 0621, JBA carrier.
Nominal 7205 of course, but Manuel Méndez had it a sesquiyear ago on
7206: May 17 at 0505*-*0525. And hardly an accidental variation, maybe
to placate IARU ham intruder complaints, hi. They had blasted France
for broadcasting on 7205, sideband below 7200.000.
Sudan had an external service, same transmitter? at 1630-1900 with
English at 1715, on 9505, but believed inactive for some time.

** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 22 at 2158, VOT IS & IDs prior to English hour,
good S9+25, best on LSB to avoid RTTY; less undermodulated than
sometimes and would be sufficient but I`ve no time to listen to it

VG direct, 7780 S9/+15 into UTwente SDR; at 0156 direct: 5850
S9+20/30, 7780 S9/+10 but sounds much weaker and noisy (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2109 monitoring: confirmed Friday
October 22 from 1815 on 918 kHz Villa Estense, Italy. Music from
tune-in 1814 until 1815 quick ``IRRS Shortwave [sic], signing on`` and
right into WOR. S9+20 into nearby Noale SDR and no QRM yet.
As usual, IRRS really SW, 7290 via BULGARIA, lags behind, back to
``normal`` after pre-emption on 3rd Friday. Open carrier on before
tune-in 1813 via UTwente, S7/S9+10, but modulation not cut on until
almost 1816 as the WOR theme and intro is almost over. There is lite
splash QRM not from first adjacent 7285 or 7295 where there is
nothing, presumably from second-adj. 7300 bigsig S9+25 but which is
undermodulated, i.e. IRAN in German but scheduled until 1820* only.
WOR 2109 also confirmed Fri Oct 22 from 2030 UT on Italia AM, 918 kHz
as above, now with lite CCI, perhaps SPAIN. Unfortunately, tuned in at
2026 via Noale, it`s Kim Elliott in lengthy central interview on AWR
Wavescan, which is NOT on NEXUS-IBA schedule now, and certainly will
not be finished by 2030; must have started about 2015. Yes, chopped
off at 2030 for IRRS ID and WOR 2109 playback from its start as
scheduled. Sorry, Kim; I had nothing to do with this. IRRS has this
habit of filling time with random program fragments.

Also confirmed UT Sun Oct 24 at 0321 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, about 4
minutes into so started about 0317; S9+10 into KB0FX SDR with storm

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2109 monitoring: again no one has
replied to my request for European monitoring of our new broadcast via
WMRI Europe, via Channel 292, Germany, 9670, Sundays at 1230 UT. So I
crawl out of bed myself to check at 1233 Oct 24 via UTwente SDR, and
pleased to hear a VG signal S8-S9 with no CCI from the simultaneous
Vietnam clandestine from Taiwan; but some adjacent splash, yet nothing
on 9675 or 9665. Must be from the China radio wars on 9680 & 9660 CNR1
echoing. At 1235 the 9670 signal suddenly surges as if powered up or
antennaed up? To S9+25. Readout as only 4 Hz off-frequency-minus and
modulation is also good and clear.
Note from next week will be one real UT hour later, Sundays at 1330,
possibly a different QRM situation. I wonder what else be on this test
transmission Sundays only, but the schedule here is extremely
uninformative, not even WOR:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2109 monitoring. we were out
getting vaccine booster, so could not check Sun Oct 24 at 2000 on IRRS

Confirmed Sun Oct 24 at 2230 on WRMIs: 5950 S9+15, 9955 S8 both into
Maryland SDR.
Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 25 at 0030 on WRMIs: 7730 S9+10/15 into

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2109 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St.
Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio:
JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn:
5850 kHz, at 1036 UT, 27 October. The signal 5850 kHz was gone and
came on a bit late program #2109 was underway, I was up heard much of

Confirmed Wed Oct 27 at 1055 the 1030 on WRMI 5850, VG direct.
Confirmed Wed Oct 27 at 2100 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR.
On WRMI there is often a brief blast of extraneous music between their
ID and WOR, and this is one of them, misaligned automation.
Also confirmed 21 seconds later Wed Oct 27 at 2100+ on WBCQ 7490-,
S9+10/15 into same Maryland SDR showing -100 Hz = 7489.900. Next:

** U S A. 15770, Oct 21 at 1447, unusually no signal from this WRMI;
comparing: too-close 15825 WWCR is a JBA carrier, as is 15230 Cuba;
but 15140 RHC is S9+10. At 1539 also no 15770 into UTwente or Maine
SDRs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15770, Oct 22 at 1452, no signal from this WRMI, 24 hours
after first noted absent, their only daytime signal into Europe.
Scheduled XMTR #9, 44 degrees at 11-02 with: 11-12 variety, 12-13
TOMBS, 13-14 variety, 14-20 SMTV, 20-21 variety, 21-22 Prague, 23-02
TOMBS; switching among four different Systems.
15770, however, Oct 22 at 2025, is back on into Virginia SDR, but JBA
carrier into UTwente. At 2156 direct it`s sufficient. BTW altho the
title for WRMI A-21 schedules still says August 14, skeds themselves
are newly headed October 18, so be alert for further changes; so far
same entries for WOR until DST stop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5950, Saturday at 2200 UT, WRMI starts a 4- or 5-hour string
of worthwhile programming, certainly unlike weekdays, on System L, via
transmitter 8, aimed almost north, 355 degrees: `Encore`, classical
music, which is when I usually listen to it; 2300 `Wavescan` among
innumerable repeats but this one is pre-Sunday nominal turnovers; 2330
WORLD OF RADIO; UT Sun 0000 `Texas Radio Shortwave` with two different
hours each week including Europirate relays; 0200-0300 `Alt Universe
Top 40` maybe too, I`ve not listened to but if you`re into that, see
detailed setup on the Programming page. Since System L is displayed in
ET, expect all the above times to shift one UT hour later from
November 12-13; barring any further permanent changes. Unfortunately,
heavy competition now such as: 00-01 `Theater Organ Under The Arch` on
WTWW-2 5085, axually starting 5-10 minutes earlier; `The Mighty KBC`
at 00-02 on 5960; `Encore` encore at 01-02 on other WRMIs, 5850 & 7780
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. (7489.9v), Oct 23 from 0000, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`. Not
as overmodulated as before but still too much. Immediately equates
Democrats with communists, nazis and moonbats, another show railing
against all that`s wrong with a non-Trump-controlled America. I don`t
need this, so dip in only occasionally during the hour. Seems to start
complaining about Superman turning gay. 0019 interrupted by call from
Mr. Rabishu, who says he hasn`t listened to news since 2019, instead
monitors hams: some in California about discouraging gas-powered tools
such as chainsaws, setting off A&A on another rant. ``Build Back
America Better`` is BS, per Allan. Servitude was accepted back then
200-300 years ago by good people - so give them a break? But we know
now it was wrong. Last few minutes, skimming a few FRW items, prayer
and off. John Carver`s version:
Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160 and 7490 this evening
with the best signal being 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio. Show
starts immediately with a rant from Allan about the changes to the
Superman slogan. He refused to say what it had been changed to but I'm
guessing it no longer ends with Truth, Justice and the American way.
Then he asks about "woke" movement is all about and also asks about
Critical Race Theory. Then into the price of fuel, inflation and
politics. Phone call at 0018 but I can't make out caller or the
question as all three frequencies have gotten terribly noisy. Then
into vaccine talk after the phone call. Another phone call at 0026 and
then into talk about statues being removed or destroyed.
Phone call at 0038 that Allan calls Pastor. At this time the best
signal I can get out of the three frequencies is an S3. Then Allan
plays some sort of audio from the Pastor that had just been on the
phone. Maybe a sermon? Reading of emails at 0056 along with a very
brief scan of the new Free Radio Weekly. Closing prayer at 0059 and
off air at 0101. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 6160-, Oct 25 at 0621, WBCQ with rock music, presumably
extension of Area 51 feed, rather than TOMBS. And 4790 is S9+10 with
protracted dead air instead of TOMBS, vs CODAR swirshes. Simul on
WRMIs, TOMBS with long pauses between outbursts at first seeming dead
air, but apparently such on original recording (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. (5085), Sat Oct 23 at 2355, WTWW-2 webcast already into
`TOUTA` for ~1 hour show, tribute to Bob Heil`s mentor and friend,
George Wright, partly narrated by GW himself; 0049 UT Sun Oct 24
already wrapping up, plugging webcast available at ``WTWW.org`` ---
NO, not unless they buy it from a squatter for $4988! It`s WTWW.us,
strangely a seldom-used domain, why? Over at 0052, into hardsell Tedad
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, Oct 27 at 0606, WTWW-2 is S9+30 of dead air except for
some hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 4840, UT Mon Oct 25 at 0623, WWCR-3 with Old Time Radio
comedy, sounded like some Jack Benny, and an Alice character, but 0629
closing as having been `Classic Radio Theatre` with Phil Harris &
Alice Faye show of April 22, 1950, from network GCN, which otherwise
flushes far-right crap. Own sked dated Oct 1 shows TOMBS is supposed
to be on now. C.R.T. does not appear at *any* time on any of the four
WWCR schedules. Something`s always wacky at WWCR. TOMBS is still
running on 3215, WWCR-1, whew! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. RF 6, Oct 23 at 1512 UT, BAD DTV signal into STB, via my
channel 7+ antenna pointed at OKC. Has to be KBSD-DT, 31 kW ERP at
Ensign = Dodge City KS, the only full-power 6 anywhere around here,
and correlates nicely with tropo maps showing a little blob around
there to here. NO other BAD signals register on the open channels
between 8 and 36. I do start my DTV bandscans at RF ch 6, but it`s a
rare event when KBSD make a showing (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
** UZBEKISTAN. 5829.90, Oct 26 at 1632, JBA signal into Kuwait SDR,
checking out a yesterday report of something on ``5829``. Typical
Tashkent off-frequency but just reported by Alan Holder:
``Confirmed October 26, 1600 UT. 5830 carrying the same audio as Iran
International TV live streaming, although radio is about 2 seconds
behind. Heard with excellent reception on the Kuwait KiwiSDR. Alan
Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.``
We were checking out a previous report from Brasil at 0250 of
something on ``5829``. After that I could only hear WTWW 5830.
Wolfgang Bueschel also reported:
``UZBEKISTAN, 5829.938 kHz exact measured at 1700 UT, likely via
transmitting stn of RRTM Telecom Tashkent Uzbekistan bcast center,
Iran International TV news program in Persian, read by female
presenter, S=9+5dB backlobe into southern Germany Perseus SDR unit``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 378 kHz, Oct 22 at 0620 UT, NDB bandscan finds
intermittent dashes, dits and dahs. Sounds like an NDB but very out of
order. If really on 378, dxinfocentre.com lists only four, in BC, OR,
QC and NU, none very likely here. classaxe.com has only the three
Canadians, with OR and several more marked out, and none of them, then
or now noted with any problem like this. It`s still possible this was
a local device previously unnoticed. Anyone else hearing thus? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
