Cairo in scheduled Albanian hour. This frequency was discovered yesterday during the 2115 English broadcast, but totally useless and with big noise spurs on the upper side then and now; following someone at R. Cairo telling Peter Jones the day before that they would be back on 9900. Alex first posted at 1438 to the WOR iog: ``Radio Cairo went on air today 12.Nov.2021 on 9440 kHz at 1418 UTC. Blank carrier with slight hum. No modulation. By-products: terrible buzz on 9490 kHz, as well as a less stronger buzz on 9530 kHz; both buzz signals jumping around +/- 10 kHz. (9440 kHz is scheduled in the HFCC database for the Radio Cairo transmission in Albanian 1500-1600 UT)``. FWIW, here`s the full registered sked for B-21: http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=ERU which in fact does show 9440 but for the Albanian hour only; some others all on 31m including 9900 for 2115-2245 English. All from Abis site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT [and non]. 9440, Nov 12 at 2012, further chex for R. Cairo reactivated on SW in case it`s still on the same frequency as heard before 1600: something JBA, but it`s probably CRI English via Kunming. At 2000-2115 UT, ERU supposed to be on 9885 in French, but zilch. 9900: Everybody`s set for the 2115 in English, and it`s widely heard but with horrible modulation. Not convenient for me to check until 2215 via UTwente, which falsely claims in red to be unusable: UTw is funxioning, but S9+30 signal extremely suptorted, itself unusable. Direct to here at 2226, it`s VP estimated at 9899.57 making a het with something close to 9900.00, probably Taiwan/China radio war. Almost an hour earlier, Steven C. Wood in MA measured Cairo on 9899.58, and Richard Langley, NB, on 9899.586 at UTwente. Next scheduled is 2215-2330 Portuguese on 9545, unchecked. Then 2330-2445 in Arabic on 9730: I do check that at 0010, a JBA carrier into Brasil but can`t tell the language, else? Finally, 0045-0200 Spanish on 9900, nothing there at 0129 into Maryland. WOR iogroup members have contacted R. Cairo welcoming them back to SW, but providing evidence that something is drastically wrong with the modulation. Alan Roe says the address is englisheuropeservice@gmail.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9900-, Nov 13 at 2125, R. Cairo, S9+30 into UTwente but dead air except for some hum and possible traces of English modulation. AM Synch mode says ``not locked`` in red, yet reads out carrier at 9899.687; still the same at 2213. And similar results by other monitors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9900, Nov 15 at 2126, NO signal from R. Cairo English into UTwente. Maybe they got the message from monitors that last few days` attempts were fruitless due to abominable modulation. Sad (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 17800.08V, Nov 12 at 1537, Minitransat yacht race special from defective Issoudun transmitter, oscillating up and down roughly 17800.07 to 17800.09 kHz, music at S9 as must have finished marine weather by now. S9 direct but SSOB, only a few other JBA carriers on 16mb. This is the last day registered for these broadcasts, but I suppose could be extended if there be some laggards not yet reaching finish line at Guadeloupe. 17795-17800-17805-DRM, Nov 12 at 1655 I`m tuned to Maryland remote for the 1700 digital version of same. Dead until *1700 with a bit of music, lo-fi French talk. It seems to cut off at 1701, but I soon realize the Kiwi SDR has tuned away from 17800 as I think I am mousing some other website, often an annoying problem with these. 1702 French talk overmodulated OM voice with hectopascals and other weather info, keeps mentioning Cuba. Parameters: SNR 22 dB; Chan 10 kHz; SDC 16 QAM; MSC 64 QAM. Labeled IAAC (1000) Minitransat TDF EEP Data 8.08 kbps; S7-S9, some buffering echoes, repeatedly saying English fonetix ``echo-november-echo``, I guess wind direxion inexplicable in French. Fully English presumably later. But not rechecked until 1738 when I find the player frozen at SNR 8.1; refreshing, SNR 11+ but silent, and when it hits 12 starts to decode intermittently, but 1746 music, 1748 medley including ``Always Love You``, from ``Titanic`` Hope none of these hit icebergs. Off the air around 1757* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 17800+, Nov 13 at 1541, S9-S7 music off-frequency, so Minitransat special broadcasts via TDF Issoudun from 1500, are still going past originally registered end-date of Nov 12. 17800-DRM, Nov 13 at 1707 via Maryland remote, French meteo by OM voice, S9/+10, SNR 22 dB. Label reads starting with 1 AAC (1000) meaning Service #1 of 4, not IAAC as I miswrote last time. By 1713 now it`s YL in English but very heavy French accent. 1747 still on but not decoding S5, and SNR of 5.9 dB. How much longer? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 17800+, Nov 14 at 1517, Minitransat special still going 2 days after original finish, météo in French by OM, then YL in French with rankings deuxième, troisième, etc., etc. 17800-DRM, Nov 14 at 1722, YL again with lo-fi 8.08 kbps rankings in French, mixing in numbers in English, via Maryland SDR, SNR 21 dB, S9+5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Nov 16 at 1610, routine check for weekly Tuesday clandestine Kashmir Civitas via IRRS via Romania: NO signal into UTwente.

I heard it several times last winter, but no luck so far now. Is it off the air? Still in dxinfocentre.com; and the RNA Signal List at classaxe.com as Luis Muñoz Marín international AP, last heard 2021-11-07, power could be 2 or 3 kW. But something changed for the worse? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PUERTO RICO. Re my lament that DDP beacon on 391 is not being heard, this reply: ``Hi Glenn! Yes, I was the listener who last reported hearing beacon DDP-391 on Nov 7 with complete details, which is why my logging shows up in the RNA Signal List. On the NDB Groups.io list, several listeners reported it off starting around Nov 10, but it has since been reported on the same list as being back on around Nov 15. None of these listeners reported their reception details, so their reports do not show up on the RNA Signal List. One of the listeners who keeps careful track of NOTAMs reporting that there was none issued for DDP during this period. Steve Howe, Saint Albans, VT`` Guess what, in the meantime I did log DDP for the first time this season: 391 MCW kHz, Nov 16 at 0735, DDP; also audible tuned to 389 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Nov 12 at 2300, REE active again on N American frequency, unlike yesterday, for token English, and a good thing, since direct it`s sufficient on the portable DX-398 while the other three 11/12 MHz channels are useless. Feature is an interview in a noisy bar ``this past Thursday September 30``, so a rerun, with author of a book about the jazz scene in New Orleans; OK, but what has this to do with Spain? Well yes, Spain once owned N.O... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Nov 15 at 2300, token English on Monday from REE, sufficient direct into portable DX-398 with shortwire. 10 minutes of news this time, followed by Amy Egan interview at 2310 with manager of Palace Hotel about the post-pandemic return of luxury travel; like, now already? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** THAILAND. 13750, Nov 18 at 0002, checking out HSK9 North American service of R. Thailand, as I am amazed by the decent to good reception often reported elsewhere in the continent, but the 250 kW never any good here. My generous meter claims S5-S8 but it sounds VP, with flutter, unreadable. Will there be any change at 0030 when they supposedly switch slews from east coast to west? Well, at 0032 it`s even worse, JBA carrier. Who cares about reaching the Great Center of North America? HFCC B21 shows CIRAF 7, central for the entire span 0000-0330 UT but axually on periphery of E&W; center beam of 30 degrees only at 0030-0100 is slewed -24 to 6 degrees at 0000-0030 and again 0200-0330 when CIRAF 8 is added = east coast; slewed +8 degrees to 38 for English at 0030-0100 only; English again at 0200-0230 for the east coast, same as at 0000, scheduling which does not make much sense. As for the approx. center targets of each beam: 6 degrees, north of Alaska, into Detroit; 30 degrees skirting SW Alaska mainland, to Portland to El Paso; 38 degrees, across Aleutians down California coast such as Point Reyes. Meanwhile, I am also checking remotes, for comparison: in Maryland there is no signal before or after 0030. Of course this path is almost transpolar, and would normally be inferior, less propagable. However, the KPH remote at Point Reyes on the coast of California is getting it at S3, yet sufficiently readable, also with quick short/long path echo which I am hardly expecting: Comparing short to long path from Udorn to KPH, the short path goes no further north than the Aleutian islands, while LP crosses the Indian Ocean, the other Prince Edward Island, ham DXpedition target Bouvet, across Argentina, Galápagos and up the west coast of México. All this consulting my trusty NGS globe with geometer. Short distance is 7600 statute miles = 12231 km, per distancefromto.net so long path would be 17300 stmi = 28360 km. The difference between L&S = 16130 km. Compared to speed of light, 298 Mm/sec, that`s 0.054 second, or an echo delay of between 1/19 and 1/20 of one second. All approx., of course, and axual distances bouncing off the ionosphere would be slightly more than great circles at ground level. Via KPH remote: 0025 a *commercial* for Subaru cars with cruise control, 0026 news headlines. Probably the only government external service with ads. Carrier drops for a few sex at 0029.5, interrupting headlines, back on sounds slightly louder but not on the meter in USB mode. In AM mode it makes S4. And now it switches to THAI rather than another semi-hour in English! as had been the case in previous seasons and still alleged in HFCC B21. Checking KPH again at 0208, reads S3 but sounds JBA in presumed English. Further evidence that while accessing the VOA relay in Udorn, no doubt as part of the bilateral deal, PRD ought to insist on using Greenville for broadcasts to North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 14 at 2312, S8-S9 but JBM, sounds like YL talk, language not certain. Checking for VOT English but should be doing better than this, off? Also sked per Aoki is PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of ChiCom imperialist genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems, in Chinese. Also in the new B-21 EiBi as starting at 2310. However, JRX in Brasil was hearing VOT same date at 2348-2355. Possibly came on late? 5960, Nov 15 at 2259, no signal on the portable, but 2314 on the bigrig something JBA, China instead of Turkey? But but, via UTwente at 2333 tune-in, immediate VOT ID in English, S9/+15. So the TRT N American service just isn`t making it this far. Also some CCI presumably Urumqi. At 0000 Nov 16, Turkey off and CNR clearly uncovered with timesignal, Chinese anthem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. A quiet night with no Blitz storms across N America, so digging deep into the beacon band, Nov 13 at 0717 until 0732 UT when a local noise source cut on curtailing my bandscan below 376 kHz: 419-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0711 UT, NDB GB which is 25 watts from Great Bend KS.

Last logged Jan 27, 2021. 408-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0715 UT, NDB JDM, 25 watts from Colby / Wheatfield KS. My previous log from 2020y bears repeating: ``408-MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0643 UT, JDM, 25-watt NDB at Colby - Wheatfield, Kansas. One wonders how a call with no connexion to the listed location came about? So I try searching on JDM Colby, finding ``Colby Howard Lands at JD Motorsports For Majority of 2020 `` about NASCAR - that`s a stretch! Further down are linx to JDM as NAVAID, but no call significance. Even further down, there is a JDM Enterprises, LLC, in Colby among 55 other places: https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ks/8804627 but what does it do?`` Do they have a private airstrip in Colby? 392-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0724 UT, NDB FMZ, 25 watts at Fairmont / Beklof NE. 388-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0725 UT, NDB OK, 25 watts at Okmulgee OK.

It`s in SW NE on I-80 between Ogallala and Sidney near the NE corner of CO. 378-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0728 UT, random dits, occasional dahs or longer dash, as if a very out-of-order beacon. Like previous log: ``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.

CIN? Third letter stutters. It`s really CIR, 25 watts from Cairo IL, and another listener also found this in RNA Signals List: https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals ``20181130 - Bill Stewart reports a 'hic-up' on the 'R'.

Aha, that`s OOC, 25 watt NDB in Natchitoches LA, which I discussed at length recently. RNA Signals List indeed shows a period of 7.90 seconds for HRU, and 7.8 seconds for OOC. So it would take a long wait for them to separate at the rate of 0.1 second per iteration. Eventually they would be totally alternating.

WORLD OF RADIO 2112 monitoring: confirmed first SWBCs, UT Friday November 12 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG S9+30/40 direct, 7780 S9+20. Previous gospel huxter was still going when chopped off for canned ID at 0129.5. Also confirmed UT Fri Nov 12 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, but with difficulty. Cuts on at *0329 with IS & ID, ``top of hour` loop, S8-S9 direct but VP to JBA. This is #14 at 181 degrees, but JBA to JBA carriers to LAm SDRs in Querétaro, Trinidad, Brasil, Key West --- TWR Bonaire has been missing for a week or more; hope they bring it back. Despite azimuth, S8 sufficient into Kansas City SDR, and even better S9+10 into St Louis area SDR. AM Narrow needed to avoid Cuban jamming ACI from 5980. Next, fingers crossed that IRRS will air the full WOR this week instead of half of it last week: 1915 UT Friday IRRS 7290-Bulgaria to WNW, 918-Italy 2130 UT Friday IRRS 918-Italy 2330 UT Friday WRMI 5950 to NNW 0230 UT Saturday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7730 to WNW, 5950 to NNW 0400vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0530] 1330 UT Sunday WMRI Europe via Ch 292 Germany 9670 2100 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0400vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?][unconfirmed] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 5010 to S (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2112 monitoring: Confirmed Friday November 12 at 1915-1944 UT on IRRS SW, 7290 via Bulgaria; and 918 kHz via Italy, via two separate remotes only a couple seconds apart, complete, not cut off after 15 minutes like last week. At 1926 I can tell that the understation CCI on 918 is in Spanish, i.e. Madrid. 918 I started monitoring earlier via Noale SDR at 1851 and found an aircheck of KUSW! which means this week`s AWR `Wavescan` at an unsked time, filler? It`s S9+15 with some CCI making a ripple SAH. UTwente is down again, so I try Carnow, Ireland for 7290 - no signal yet. At 1858, 918 cuts Jeff White short as he starts to play Mormon Tabernacle organ music, for ``IRRS SW`` ``sign on`` and `Feature Story News`. Now 7290 is also on at 1900 but poor signal into Carnow, S7 with ACI from CRI English 7295; LSB helps some. // 918. Not only FSN but FS `Spotlight`, 1904 another IRRS ID and FSN stuff, 1908 into music, 1914 Lord`s Prayer in pop gospel version. 1915 ``IRRS signing on`` even tho it`s already on, and into WOR 2112 on both. Some other unrecognized talk program followed at 1945, and 7290 off by 2000. Missed checking the scheduled Friday 2130 repeat of WOR on 918 kHz; anyone hear it? WOR 2112 confirmed Friday November 12 at 2330, new later time, on WRMI 5950, fair with fading into DX-398 portable with short wire. Also confirmed UT Saturday November 13 at 0230, another latened time, on WRMI 9395, only S7-S8 into Missouri remote.

WORLD OF RADIO 2112 monitoring: confirmed Saturday November 13 at 2030 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+10 into nearby SDR, already 25 minutes into so started way early circa 2005. Also confirmed UT Sunday Nov 14 at 0030 on WRMI 5950, S9+25 into Knoxville SDR at one-hour-later time; also on separate System still at 0030 UT Sun Nov 14 on WRMI 7730, VG direct. Also confirmed UT Sun Nov 14 finally at 0505 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+12 into nearby SDR, about 17 minutes into so started late circa 0448. So there is no correlation between the two airings as to earliness/lateness. It all depends on variable-length ham shows in between.

Someone must have nudged it. (7490 and 6160 webcasts), UT Sat Nov 13 just before `AAAWWW`, instead of overmodulated/distorted as the past several weeks, now at 0058 the 7490 one is just barely modulated with FKB gospel huxter. Sufficient if I turn up player and own computer volume to max! Hardly registers on the mod meter. But the A61 webcast of 6160 is loud and clear music separately. Almost 0100, FKB hears a beep and knows it`s time to get off. Then they join for a non-standard AAAWWW opening, rather ``Hire the A-Team``, TimTron IDs, his jazzed up `William Tell Overture` without interjexions. But the volume level on A51 web has plunged to match 7490`s. Now I try Maryland remote for how they are doing on SW air. JBA, but 7490 carrier offset is only -7 to +2 Hz, as I had monitored earlier circa .00. 0104 TT opens, ``live and direct from studio one master control`` -- does he mean he`s in Monticello or doing it remotely from Skowhegan? Starts fiddling with music cartridges explaining how these ancient devices work; ``pissing rain out there``. 0107 caller interrupts and TT starts to blow him off -- don`t call until I say the phone lines are open!! But caller persists and gets thru to him that there is no modulation on the frequencies! Chastened, TT tnx the caller and says he`ll get to work on it. At 0112 we overhear a bit of another phone conversation under the music. After that not a single word more from TT or anyone for the rest of the hour; just various rock music cuts, at first with breakups, loud/soft modulation. After 0130, just music playing at normal modulation. A royal mess, but at least no anti-American rants this week. About 0120 I check the SW frequencies again, into Missouri remote: 7490 JBA carrier; 6160 minus 55 Hz = 6159.945v, undermodulated but the music audible, heavy ACI from S9+35 6165 Cuba; LSB helps some. At 0123, 4790 minus 20 Hz offset = 4789.980, JBA carrier vs CODAR. Sometime after 0200 I notice Hal Turner is on the webcast. Trying the three SW frequencies only, John Carver says he was not hearing anything by 0114 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7490), Nov 16 at 0030, WBCQ after semi-repeat of `UBMP`, ID, opens `Camp Constitution Radio` jingle and then another extraneous spot commercial, this time for General Insurance Agency in Nashville, and back to show. A different ad each week. I wonder if YouTube have something to do with this, inserting seemingly totally unrelated ads into playbax (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5950, UT Sun Nov 14 at 0100, WRMI with Texas Radio Shortwave carrying Europirate R. Jingle Bells, as we *just can`t wait* for Xmasmx. Was erroneously publicized for one hour earlier, which would have pre-empted `Wavescan` & WOR but they/we were still on. Another TRSW hour from 0200, Thanksgiving-themed. Too bad there is such a pileup of music shows at same 01 hour Saturday evenings, e.g. `TOUTA` on WTWW, `Encore` on WRMI 5850 & 7780, and `Mighty KBC` on Nauen. Supposedly also prime time for pirates but I don`t hear any in one quick scan of the 4+, 5+ and 7- MHz piratareas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Nov 14 at 0053, WTWW-2 starting `Theatre Organ Under The Arch`, so I switch immediately to $tereo webcast. Another tribute to George Wright ``the greatest theater organist``. Or is it a repeat? Bob Heil says he has been working on this for some time, including early recordings of GW`s performances and voice. This one lasts 59 minutes until 0152 jarringly back into hard-sell Tedads and hamstuff (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5050, Nov 14 at 0056, WWRB weekend-only gospel huxters are still on 59m, another week into B21 season when 93m would be expected; and 0239 still going at S9+45 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7520, Nov 14 at 0249, VP S5-S3 hymn, // TOMBS on 7570, 7730 etc. 7520 is WWCR-4 now at 00-03.

New sked http://www.voiceofhope.com/schedule/kvoh_program_grid.pdf shows Pat Conrad`s `Jazz Session` gets only this one hour per week, UT Sun 0200-0300; followed by 0300 `Wavescan` which also airs UT Tue. Total 9975 span is 02-07 except UT Mon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9275, Nov 16 at 2059, still no sign of a signal from the new WMLK transmitter, which had been projected for end of October.

Last time I checked was Oct 29, no doubt silent since and before. If they are keeping their 100.3 translator which I can`t hear, modulated as ``The Wave``, why is it too much trouble to mod the original AM, no one cares? BTW, I notice that MW club editors keeping up with station news have ignored my continuing reports about this strange situation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. RF 14, Nov 16 at 1658 UT, KERA-HD breaks thru with ``KERA KIDS`` full-screen ID on 13-1. I get 13-2 to PSIP as kids -- lower case, as another PBS station overdoes it with *two* channels for them during daytime. Rabbitears.info shows KERA also with 13-3 Create and 13-4 World Channel; did not get to those before fadeout. KETA OKC has its 2, 3 and 4 in different order: -2 World, -3 Create, -4 Kids. I was sitting on RF 14 as it looked liable to decode: would it be KOCY OKC LP? From 1630 I was getting lots of tropo-enhanced BAD signals, such as 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 21, 26; while some `local` OKC channels were not decoding, no doubt because of DX QRM, even really local Enid powerhouse K17JN-D. Two Tulsa marketers did come thru, RF 20 and RF 28. I was expecting KS instead of TX, since KHCC 90.1 was completely overriding KUCO when trying to hear `Stardate` at 1558: only barely by nulling R Kansas as much as possible by pointing the PL-880 rod toward KS. KERA and DFW Metroplex happen to be almost same direxion from here as OKC where the TV antenna is aimed. Rabbitears shows KERA`s 975 kW ERP direxional for the northern hemisphere from Cedar Hill antenna farm at SE corner of Dallas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 5040, Nov 12 at 0709, JBA carrier as CUBA is off unlike last night, i.e. R.
