** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Oct 29 from 1440 tune-in via Argentine remote, NO signal from LRA36. SDR connexion keeps stalling, have to reload. Listening to noise for over an hour pays off, however: 15475.83 LSB!, Oct 29 at 1548 I notice some offside SSB talk QRM while still tuned to 15475.98 USB, eventually resolved by LSB tuning to this frequency, Spanish talk about Marambio base, so this is certainly LRA36 on a new frequency and maybe new/different transmitter! YL host is chatting with OM guest. I can never get the audio to sound just right, stepping up and down at 10 Hz intervals; even more so during music breaks. Initially there was a reduced carrier which should have made it easier to pinpoint, but then no carrier, pure LSB, S6/S7. 1557 ``aquí en Base Esperanza``; 1600 music; 1604.5 standard canned ID for LRA36 with staff names, ``Nacional, nos une``, a defacto sign-off, and music for some time but did not notice exactly when it went off, well before 1624 check; I let it run until 1637, but nothing further (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC LSB, Wed Nov 2 at 1435 I start monitoring via Argentine SDR 15475.83 in USB, hearing nothing. That exact frequency where last heard on Sat in LSB; at 1502 I switch to USB and there it is, LRA36, when I retune to 15475.98 but in LSB, not USB! Also listenable in AM mode, tho the carrier is very much reduced, JBA if side-tuned. The themesong is playing; only S4/S5 at first, difficult copy. K index is 3. 1505 the opening recitation; 1507 song; ``RASG - su cía`` canned ID, then lively live YLs on this, the 29th programa of the Esperanza Audaz season; 1519 comes in stronger with S7 peaks, frequency as ``15476``, never mind the details of SSB and offfrequenciness; 1534 OM talking about some ham project in 2013y; 1540 YL mentions ``high frequency``, music; 1545 ``RNASG -- Nacional, nos une`` canned ID; interview with José Ortiz? técnico; 1556 YL mentions winds hit 200 kph there; 1603 music only; 1606 ID with staff list which funxions as a s/off as well as s/on; ``Nacional, nos une`` and off? Not quite, back with a few more words and music until chop at 1608* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 287 MCW kHz, Nov 2 at 0653 UT, dash and ZWG, 50 watt ND beacon at Winnipeg MB: seldom heard in contrast to 248 WG, a regular with 1000 watts also audible now. DXinfocentre.com shows considerably different coördinates, different airports. ZWG at Stoney, seldom heard, last logged Feb 17, 2021.

Last logged Nov 26, 2021 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, Oct 28 at 0605, JBA carrier: hard to believe it`s RHC, but nothing else listed at this hour, except in Aoki: SRDA Curitiba, Brasil. Is it active? Not in EiBi or latest DSWCI DBS as of last April. Not in WRTH 2022, 2021, either. Same question I raised on July 9, 2021. 6165, Oct 28 at 0605, only RHC left, in English, S9+10/20 but undermodulated. No Cuba or other broadcasters above 5000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Oct 29 at 0547, only RHC on air now, English S9+20/30 with good mod except for some hum, no others of The Cuban Five on 5/6 MHz bands. Usually 6000 is off before the others. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025 Rebelde, 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, Oct 30 at 0705, The Cuban Five of RHC are all off, nowhere to broadcast Sunday Esperanto supposedly scheduled at 0700 but announced all summer as if 0800 on 6100. Esp`o still confirmed at 1507 on 11760 and much weaker 15140. With return to EST next Sunday, as a running dog of Yanqui Imperialism, should shift to 1600 & imaginary 0800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 13820, Oct 30 at 1522, R.

At 1719 check into Maryland SDR, still jamming against nothing on 13605 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Nov 2 at 0636, S9+20 open carrier, R Rebelde must be coming back after a week, so why not modulate it? Meanwhile at same time, none of The Cuban Five from RHC on 5 or 6 MHz bands are to be heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 5960, Nov 2 from 2241, strange behaviour of Xinjiang PBS, into UTwente as I am tuning in early for Turkey. Carrier is already on suppressing BBCWS OMAN in English. Brief bursts of Chinese martial music about once a minute, but continuous tone 2245-2250. Then some longer bits of martial music. *2255 VOT carrier on, in turn suppressing XJPBS, but still QRMing TRT considerably past 2300, q.v. From Urumqi, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 1 at 2155, JBA tone direct; 2201 into UTwente, S9+35 of big multi-frequency tone, no programod at all, as something`s always egregious in Egypt. Believe there was no R. Cairo signal last couple days, unlogged (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {no signal either, Nov 2 at 2240 into UTwente} ** FRANCE. 21690, Oct 31 at 1531, JBA carrier, searching for any B22 activity on 13m band, only this, the OSOB and consequently SSOB, per HFCC, RFI ISS in Swahili 1500-1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5000, Oct 29 at 0548, sweep tones apparently from WWV itself during this minute rather than QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** HAWAII. Re: USA, 5000, Oct 29 at 0548: ``Glenn, the sweep tones at xx48 would be from WWVH. WWV has them at xx08. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [non]. 7290, Sat Oct 29 at 1801, IRRS SW via BULGARIA, no signal on X2 = 14580; good into UTwente with Feature Story News, 1805 India music bit, then song in English; 1810 start `Country Jamboree` filler until 1830 cut to gospel music and 1833 gospel huxter. Instead of the first half of WOR which ran last Saturday at 1814-1830. Also, Ron Norton of IRRS notifies us: ``the second program in memory of Dario Monferini, with excepts of the Play DX news program in English and Italian, as well as fragments of our earlier tests broadcast from 1988-89, including short segments from Radio Stella International (Scotland), World Music Radio, Jonathan Marks from Media Network (Radio Nederland), and more, will be repeated at the following times [one hour each]: - On Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022 (A22 season): 22:00 UTC (19:00) CET on 1323 kHz MW to Europe (+ streaming) - On Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022 (B22 season): 12:00 UTC (13:00 CET) on 9510 kHz SW to Europe (+ streaming) 17:00 UTC (18:00 CET) on 7290 kHz SW to Europe (+ streaming) 20:00 UTC (21:00 CET) on 1323 kHz MW to Europe (+ streaming) with repeats and also in the coming week at various times via streaming at https://nexus.org/mp3 .`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [and non]. 1323 & NEXUS-IBA webcast, Oct 29 at 2200 UT, Feature Story News, 2207 music, not the Dario Monferini tribute. Seems there were some errors in the IRRS schedule quoted previously. It showed 22 UT as = 19 CEDT, but there is never a 3 hour difference. Who knows what time it was really supposed to be? For Sun Oct 30, supposedly at 17 UT = 18 CET, on 7290, correct conversion but the 7290 span should now be at 19-20 UT only, unless this were a special booking. I miss checking whether 7290 really on at 17-18. If only everyone would stick to UT yearound, there could be no confusion. 7290, Sun Oct 30 at 1915, NO IRRS signal into UTwente, just heavy ACI splash from 7295 CRI English, now scheduled 500 kW due west from Urumqi, East Turkistan, std denunciation, at 19-21 --- so good times to avoid adjacent 7290.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {update: see USA: WORLD OF RADIO monitoring} ** ITALY. 1323 kHz, Sunday October 30 at 2000, IRRS SW via AM Italia, Villa Estense, still not on 918 or 207 either, with special hour tribute to the late Dario Monferini, of Milano, who died October 17. After confirming it here via Parma SDR, I`m listening on the clear NEXUS/IBA webcast. Starts with a rock tune I recognize as one of the liners used to appear on RN`s Media Network. Then Alfredo Cotroneo introduces the show, ``Hello There...``, apparently name of mailbag in years past. This is part 2: missed part 1 last weekend. Will play a Play-DX show of Dec 1989; reveals exact SW transmitter site outside Milano ``for the first time``, but I missed the name. Dario had been recorded over very lofi telco line, first in English talking about FM? stations in the local area. 2010 they go into Italian: I can mostly understand Alfredo in the clear studio, but not Dario so much, so suspend. When I recheck at 2040, back in English with an old Media Network episode about then new IRRS experiments with reduced carrier SSB, test schedule, not about Dario; 2054 wrapup and Verdi theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 1 at 0653, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati; cursory 9/kHz split check does not find any TAs now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Wed Nov 2 at 0637, JJBBA carrier from R. Kiribati, along with some TAs, see UNIDENTIFIED. In NZDX Times, Bryan Clark reports this survey: ``Bryan Clark, Mangawhai, WinRadio G33DDC Excalibur Pro & AOR7030+ receivers with EWE directional antennas to North, Central & South America.

From inside Mad., should be skipping over most of the island; or just counting on groundwave in Talata area? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Oct 27 at 1502, VOMK is S9/+20, usual abnormally strong here on opposite worldside from target; FWIW, not much, I notice a signal with similar strength and fading on 11955, which is AWR in Turkish via Austria, also way off-target (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Oct 30 at 1500-1530, what`s become of V of Martyrs Korea service from secret site? Tune-in at 1509, S6/S9 signal still, but talk by two OM voices sounds tonal like Chinese, not English or Dhivehi. Not // 9660 in CNR1 check, or was that Taiwan. I don`t think there was any English closing at 1529 as VOMK used to provide, tho I was distracted during that minute; and off at 1530, no longer followed by Vatican in Arabic. Last part monitored via KFS remote on its NW antenna. Furthermore, no signal on 11825, which used to be RBAustralia Burmese for comparison at 1500-1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Oct 31 at 1459 OC, 1500 no English but opening in Chinesish tonal language. Before 1530* brief announcement by different YL voice seems to be giving a website or email with some letters pronounced in English, but uncopied: need to be recording! Reception is about the same as had been for V of Martyrs Korea, Maldives service. Suspect it`s still them from secret site but switching focus away from Maldives. Website has lots of stuff but NO info I can find about any axual broadcasts! They do have a ``China Ministry``, but no mention of Maldives: https://vomkorea.com/en/ BTW, WRTH 22 gives HQ address in Bartlesville, OKLAHOMA! But nothing about that on website, no postal or physical address nor US phone number (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, Nov 1 at 0635, reliable ORTM is OFF.

If VON ever resume, it will be nothing but a het against the ChiCom - but how were they to know they would be blocking Nigeria`s last possible SW frequency, since Nigeria refuses to participate in HFCC?

Feature after news will be part 2 of interview about Salem witchcraft, plus a Lebanon/Israel agreement, and another spooky movie review. 2206 witchcraft starts but doesn`t really interest me. 2225 the Leb/Isr is about maritime border agreement for offshore gas exploration, brokered by US, i.e. each signed with US, not having to deal directly with each other. 2227.5 final #10 Hallowe`en movie review, did not get Spanish title, as signal is fading down. 2316 recheck, nothin` but noise on 17855, but SAm`s 11940 is still S9+5/10 into VA; 15520 & 11670 would have closed after 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, W OR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Oct 30 at 1719, no signal direct from REE on B22 NAm frequency, but new 12030 for ME off the back is S9/+10 at 1506. Into Maryland SDR at 1717, 9690 is only S5/S7, but 12030 S7/S9, with 11940 for SAm also audible weaker. Not sure yet where the Af beam be, but surely a poor 4th for us. Sportstalk or stupid ballgame coverage. As every B-season, 9690 is too low for NAm across full-day path, but should be good for mostly-night path later such as English M/W/F 2300-2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN [and non]. 11670, Oct 31 at 1710, open carrier with RTTY QRM on minus side only, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR, suspected the REE African frequency, cuts off at 1714* while RTTY remains. In HFCC B22, only 161 azimuths registered are 17755 and 21620 --- nothing audible theres. But José Bueno of AER forwards this notice from REE itself: ``RADIO EXTERIOR DE ESPAÑA Cambio de hora, cambio de frecuencias Los cambios de programación y frecuencias son efectivos desde el 30 de octubre de 2022 hasta el 26 de marzo de 2023.

However, at 1710, 11685 is not on either; and still at 1813 neither. Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas. English, Mon Oct 31 at 2300 into Maryland SDR: 9690 VG local-quality S9+20/30, 12030 S9+10/20, 11940 also S9+10/20, 11670/11685 OFF but 11670 now algo extremely distorted and splattering, no doubt RHC from its usual starthour. In news, Justin Coe propagates a typo, giving Bolsonaro only 40.1% of the vote instead of 49.1%! 2307 about Jerry Lee Lewis death and how Franco didn`t approve of rock-n-roll, did not catch on in Spain until 10 years post-mortem. 2311 main feature by Hélena is a deeper dive into the horror film `Veronica`. 2322 about Hallowe`en customs in Galicia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 2 at 2308, token English from REE VG into Maryland on NAm frequency, all others well audible too, 11685, 11940, 12030. Amy Egan starts a feature for the upcoming Apr 8, 2023 semi-centennial of Picasso`s death, about a Madrid exhibition on the theme of his friendship with Gabrielle Chanel since 1917 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. From HFCC B22, VOT TRT in English, as expected changes, 1 real UT hour later from Oct 30: 1330 12035 Eu, but NAm beyond 1730 9660 C&SAs 1930 6050 Eu 2130 9610 SEAs, Pac 2300 5960 NAm 0400 6125 NAm, 7285 ME Not including the inevitable errors, like 5960 on past 0000 in German (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2162) ** TURKEY. 9830.021, Oct 28 at 2200 no signal yet into UTwente from VOT English; must have come on way late but going S9+25/45 at 2230 after I retune from Spain --- but it`s not English, rather Turkish. 2235 machine gun fire, declamations, like a military coup?? Also has some music background, 2238 martial songs; 2240 more talk and machine gun fire. At 2243 I notify the WOR iog to tune this in quick! But no replies. Then mostly songs, no English, cut off at 2255.5 which would be nominal for end of broadcast. Probably the sloppyrators brought up the wrong program feed, like a dramatic movie soundtrack. Something`s very erroneous at Emirler and/or awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 9830, Oct 29 at 2200, no signal from VOT English for N America, into UTwente, what should have been the final broadcast of the A22 season. Not on 5960 either in case they have jumped the gun to the B22 frequency. Rather, something`s always erroneous at Emirler. So I check at the B22 hour: 2259 open carrier of S9/+10 on exact frequency, 2300 time pip and Chinese mentioning Xinjiang. CNR is in HFCC both A22 and B22 supposedly not starting until *2330 from Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems. Once Turkey gets going with English on 5960 at 2300, we can only hope there will be a lot less QRM from that over here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, checking for VOT English to NAm on reactivated B22 frequency, ex-9830, since it was a no-show Oct 30. Now on Oct 31 I tune in at 2248 direct to find a weak interview in English, i.e. BBC Oman now scheduled until 2300, mixed with a 1 kHz DSB tone - not a het. The latter must be from PBS Xinjiang warming up from East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems, as already noted opening at 2300, not listed 2330-. From 2251, insted of tone, brief bursts of ChiCom martial music cut on and off about once a minute. 2258 stays on longer but pause again as BBC stops circa 2259*. 2300, 2-pip timesignal and Chinese sign-on mentioning Xinjiang. Still no sign of Turkey at UTwente or Maryland, while I move to SPAIN. But XJPBS is JBA at Maryland. By 2305, VOT has cut on late, S9+25/35 overriding XJPBS at UTwente but still some QRM under. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. At Maryland, VOT only S8/S9, sufficient but hardly solid, and hardly any CCI. As for content I`m listening to Spain, q.v., until its English finish at 2330. Now VOT marred by some 2ACI splash de 5950 much stronger WRMI. 2333, `Did You Know That`, what? YL accent hard to understand without perfect reception. SAU mode helps a little.

We did put 7730 back on the air on October 10 at low power, but we have been unable to bring it up on high power using the current antenna. However, we have transferred all of the programming which was previously on 7730 kHz to 15770 kHz on our European beam. We will keep working on 7730, and we may be able to return that frequency to the air within the next couple of weeks. We lost three antennas during Hurricane Ian on September 28 – one to Europe and the Middle East, one to Africa and one to Central America and Oceania. We have placed one of those frequencies (7780 kHz) on a different antenna to the same target areas. We replaced 21525 kHz with 17790 kHz to a different target area. And, as mentioned above, we are still working on 7730 kHz. We are consulting with engineers to see how the three damaged antennas might be repaired or replaced in the future.

I also check Maryland remote how the SW frequencies are going: 5130 minus 9 Hz; 6160 minus 63 Hz; 7490 minus 66 Hz; 3265 off; 9330 WLCR minus 25 Hz. All these are varying 1 or 2 Hz up and down. 0030 refers to gh and sending me the above message. Accuses me of saying stuff without verification, but still loves me. Tower work has been going on for 2.5 months; antenna was not 100% complete so they are working on final touches. Ultimately will be able to beam ERP of 20 megawatts anywhere with 500 kW transmitter. 0041 accuses Moonbats of ``killing our children``, by uncertainty about gender. 0044 says trimulcasting on 7, 6 and 5, on 28 of Oct YOOLF 2022. 0047 denounces NPR = ``National Socialist Public Radio``. Radio World story from Sept about decline of public radio, ``constagflation`. Usual prayerful wrapup ending late at 0101, JIP Hal Turner, too late to tell whether he still claim to be on 540 KYAH Utah, which was 13 watts at night; did that allude to Yahweh? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5129.984, UT Sat Oct 29 at 0230-0259, WBCQ Radio Angela with weekly `Greek Music Refuge`. UB has Zach Liangas on at first to briefly introduce the music from a name I don`t catch, as he has chosen it. Then solid segués for rest of show, enjoyed but noisier here than would have been on VOG 9420. At end UB offered to ID pieces to email requestors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330v, Nov 1 at 0620, WBCQ/WLCR is OFF, unusually at this hour; still/again OFF at 1534. What`ll we do without the flat-earthers to ridicule? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330v, Nov 2 at 0625, WBCQ/WLCR is still/again off when it`s usually on. Is it totally off for now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 12050, Oct 28 at 1515, S9/+10 of dead air from WEWN. This keeps happening; is no one paying attention at Irondale or Vandiver? The ghost of M. Angelica might as well QRT the remnant Spanish service as already done to English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 12050, Oct 30 at 1506, WEWN now managing to modulate RCM in Spanish, S9/+10. Re previous report: ``Glenn, regarding WEWN: I have noticed that 5970 is again missing from 00-02. Also have noted the dead air on 12050. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` Oct 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9275, Oct 31 at 2106, WMLK is on with gospel huxter, S9+25 on meter but only fair and noisy. About the same as neighborneighbor 9265 WINB. Sure doesn`t sound like 300 kW. Someone noted WMLK absent and was wondering. HFCC B22 still has WMLK at 17-22 UT except on Day 7 = Saturday, 300 kW at 53 degrees. Also 15150 at 04-09 yet to be activated, a very strange band and time for Europe. Maybe same problem as WBCQ getting the thing to change frequencies? Fortunately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU [and non]. 7260, Oct 27 at 0618, R. Vanuatu is JBA, squeezed between 7255- Nigeria and 7265 VOA French São Tomé -- the latter is M-F only until 0630, and negligible modulation from the former helps (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 28 at 0607, JBA carrier from RV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 29 at 0551, JBA signal from R. Vanuatu (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, Oct 30 at 0706, JBA carrier presumed R. Vanuatu; third harmonic ain`t what it used to be (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 31 at 0624, RV is JBA, still here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Nov 1 at 0621, No signal from R. Vanuatu, not even a JBA carrier vs local device birdie. But at 0700, JBA carriers on 7890 & 11835, so 3945 has come on to harmonicize (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Nov 2 at 0627, S6/S7 of music from R. Vanuatu. At 0700, JBA carrier on 7890 so has switched to 3945; but no signal audible on 11835 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 27 at 0624: 567-? off-frequency minus, maybe birdie: Spain listed only 1.6 Hz low. Other likely sources: 621 Canary, 684 Spain, 711 Morocco, 1044 Spain; 1521 - 5 kW Spain? Even with 2000 kW would not expect Sa`udi at this late hour; nor 500 kW East Turkistan at this midday hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search of splits, Oct 28 from 0617; at this late hour most likely Spain, u.o.s.: 585, 684, 711 Morocco, 774, 837-2 or Canary, 846 TP Kiritimati, 855-2, 1044, 1098, 1107-3, 1215 or UK, 1305-2, 1413-2, 1521 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED.

Trans-Atlantic, JBA split MW carrier search, Nov 2 at 0637: 621, 711, 774, 882, 1305. The usual suspects at this late hour, Spain/Canary/Morocco (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1210 kHz, Oct 28 at 0627 past 0630+ UT, classical music mixing with talkers probably KGYN & WPHT. Can`t find any 1210 listed with classical: can`t imagine a commercial station in US or Canada, nor can NRC AM Log. IRCA Mexican log shows max 3 stations, not. Cuba? Two stations in WRTH not on CMBF network. Central America? Guatemala has a religious one. Nothing else in CAm, Caribbean or S America with an overtly cultural or classical name, but exact formats difficult to divine. Ideas? Possibly something completely different defaulting to such fill during loss of network signal; or an equipment test. This makes a SAH of 164/minute against some other = 2.7 Hz. MWOffsets shows KUBR San Juan TX in the RGV on 1210.0027! But it`s Spanish Christian. No program sked found on website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7730 USB, Oct 27 at 0619, JBA 2-way? in language not Spanish more like French intonation, in absence of WRMI which is allegedly active on 7730 AM with low power. Few pauses and only one? side heard so may be 1-way? Or could this really be a trace of WRMI?
