Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 5 at 1454, song is on, into Uruguay SDR as I`ve been seeking LRA36 since 1445, but the best Argentine SDR is offline, and all others there or in Brasil are either offline, busy, or zero reception. Uruguay has annoying local noise level but will have to suffice. 1459.5 standard canned sign-on; 1501 themesong; 1504.5 recitation; 1506 song; 1510 YLs introducing 29th programa of season, so confirmed as repeat of Wednesday Nov 2, see my already report. 1525 ID with frequencies, ``Nacional, la radio pública``. Etc., etc. past 1600; 1605 ID and apparently off. Anyhow back to ``normal`` USB mode and off-frequency after foray to LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Nov 9 at 1449, LRA36 is on already at tune-in via Argentine SDR, with prélude songs, good signal. 1501 canned sign-on with multilingual ID, staff names, ``Nacional, la radio pública``; 1503 themesong mentioning several bases; 1506.5 recitation, this time voices sound like kids; 1508 songs; 1512 live opening of programa #30 of 2022 cycle. Tomorrow will be a special holiday; 1514 currently minus 5 C, and other conditions; someone has a birthday; 1516 contact info; tomorrow will be Día de la Tradición as first proclaimed in 1939y; 1518 tango; 1520 ``nos une`` ID; 1526 about folklore, 1531 fútbol; 1549 Tierra del Fuego became the last province in 1990 - ex-territorio? Signal a bit weaker now, S7 peaks with fades into local noise level. 1553 guest on phone line; 1608 YLs still chatting; 1613 song; 1617 ID with staff like sign-off, ``la radio hecha por mujeres``, ``nos une`` ID and off 1618* --- no, after a pause a bit more bandoneón music from 1618.5 until really off at 1620.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9664.794, Nov 8 at 0710, RVM with music on variable frequency. Had been no signal previous night or two (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 15125, Nov 10 at 0006, CRI English is the SSOB, S6/S7, Cuba or Mali relay? No, registered as direct from Beijing site, 500 kW at 215 degrees for Asia. Traces of long/short path echo 0008 during brief deep fades. Directly off the back would be 35 degrees thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CUBA 6000 ** CUBA. 4765, Nov 3 at 0213, R. Progreso is on with music, S9+10/20 direct. Had not reconfirmed it lately. 5025, Nov 3 at 0213, R. Rebelde is off, despite big OC last night; by 0635 it`s on and modulating with 2:35 time check so unlikely RHC, for ``día de los relojeros``, S9+10/20 (WORLD OF RADIO 2163) 5040, Nov 3 at 0215, RHC is S9/+10 in Spanish vs high noise level. 6060, Nov 3 at 0634, only RHC English still on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Nov 4 at 0636, R. Rebelde is on with efemérides about some event in year 1929. The word in English refers to astronomical calculations, but much broader in Spanish, like almanac = this day in history (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, Nov 4 at 0635, only one of The Cuban Five still on air, RHC English, S9 but undermodulated. See also UNID 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, Nov 4 at 2321, RHC Spanish, music overmodulated, distorted with growl, // clear 11760 where it`s about the 120th anniversary of relations with Belgium, so this is Belgian Culture Week, in Cuba: how nice. Also // 11880, what became of English? It`s also distorted but not as bad as 11670. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 11850 not on, and 11950 as usual separate Spanish Mesa Redonda TV soundtrack (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Nov 5 at 0620, R. Rebelde ID, humbuzzz and distorted, S9+10. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 880, R. Progreso: see USA [and non] KJJR DX test log ** CUBA. All RHC frequencies are OFF already, Nov 5 at 0628. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5040, Nov 6 at 0642, RHC is still on in English with jazz show, distorted S9+10/20 direct, so blots Vanuatu if still there until 0659. Also still on: 6060 and 6100 both S9/+10, but not 6165 or 6000. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, Nov 6 at 1536, S9+10 of dead air from RHC, same reading as 15140 with some music modulation, vs full mod on 13700 also still on at S9+10, plus its FMish spurblobs approx. 13634 and 13766 at S2/S3 with some mxmod audible too; but not on 2 x 66 displacements plus/minus 132 circa 13568, 13832. Into Maryland remote at 1600, ID claims to continue on 15140 & 11760 [only] + FMs. As a good little running dog of Yanqui Imperialism, Cuba has also switched from EDT to EST. Instead of 1500, at 1601 opens weekly Sunday Esperanto with same wrong sked as always, 0800 on 6100; 1600 on 11760 only, 2230? on 15730. By 1604, 15230 is still on and becoming JB modulated in Esp`o; but Maryland is not getting the spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 880, Nov 7 at 0350, Spanish music atop KRVN making a SAH of 84/minute = 1.4 Hz, presumed R. Progreso, Pinar del Rio, but no SW 4765 to //. During EST season, nominal 4765 hours are 0130-0500 only UT. Does not fit exactly mwoffsets which implies these two 3.9 Hz apart as measured on widely divergent dates 2 or 3 years ago. If KJOZ TX were the Spanish, it and KRVN were only 0.7 Hz apart as of 2018/2019 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025 & 4765, Nov 7 at 0321, both Rebelde and Progreso are off; 5040 RHC Spanish S9/+10. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, UT Mon Nov 7 at 0344, RHC is S9+25/35, but just barely modulated with hum, not positive // 6165 as it`s only S7 and also JBM/hum, during `Mailbag` with ``Ed Newman`` -- him being soft-spoken would otherwise be pleasant, but not to cope with JBM! If RHC still have two separate English hours alternating, this confirm that now during evenings EST, Mbg appears within odd-numbered UT hours, as expected in updated DX/SWL/Media Programs, rather than even-UT hours during EDT. As for the isolated 1-hour Englishes at 20-21 and peripatetic 22-23 or 23-24, never quite sure which be which. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, Nov 7 at 2001, RHC English is still here, VP and distorted into Maryland SDR, presumably 20-21 ex 19-20 UT. Have not tracked RHC much more yet; may be further changes following week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, Nov 8 at 0721, S8/S9 of dead air. Must be RHC English not turned off yet. No other RHCs still on air. Lots of stuff listed on 6165, but nothing else at this hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, Nov 8 at 2000, RHC opening English hour, but VP unusable. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Sunday Esperanto semihour should have been at 2330 or 2230, but Jean-Michel Aubier, France, heard it Nov 7 at 2146 on 15140 and 13680, but both cut off a minute or two later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Nov 8 at 2344-2353.5* open carrier, and was not there at tuneby just before. Presumed RHC, last known frequency for 23-24 English hour. I had been checking all current and remembered frequencies for that, but unfound, nor before 2300. Usual pattern in EST season is to move it nonsensically one UT hour earlier. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Nov 10 at 0011, strange mixture here, RHC in Spanish, and Chinese music, while 5990 CRI relay is missing. Double audio feed into a Quivicán transmitter? RHC is the Mesa Redonda diversion // VP 11950, where there is *no* music mix. OR, CRI on wrong frequency, QRMing RHC on same channel! I can`t detect any beat between them. I would have guessed two different sites rather than listed both Q. 0020 CRI in Spanish too, `China en Chino`. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5040, Nov 10 at 0011, RHC is OFF, when English should now be appearing in B-season. 5025 Rebelde also off. By 0142, both are still off but 4765 Progreso is on, vs CODAR swirshes. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 4 at 2132, NO signal into UTwente from R. Cairo in English, where something`s always egregious (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9440, Nov 8 at 2229, S7/S9 of dead air direct except for whine, no doubt R. Cairo fruitless on air again. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9902.570, S3/S4 of dead air, presumed R. Cairo 9900 S American disservice. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 6090-6120, Nov 7 at 0341, NHK Japanese relay via Issoudun is S9+45 on 6105, splattering out to plus/minus 15 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY [non]. 7230, Nov 3 at 0638, S9 African language, new for B22: listed as DW Hausa via USAGM SAO TOME (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRELAND. 3413 USB, Nov 7 at 0325, YL VOLMET in English, JBA S4 = HNL. EiBi shows it`s Shannon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY [non]. 7295, Nov 3 at 1813, S8 gospel huxtress in English, IRRS confirmed ex-7290, via Bulgaria; escaping ACI from China. No more WOR here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2163) ** ITALY [and non]. Checking the IRRS hour from which WORLD OF RADIO at 1815 has been removed, Friday November 4: 1323 kHz, AM Italia, Villa Estense into nearby Noale SDR, at 1756 totally buried by talk in Hungarian, the minolity service from Romania but still no usage of relatively clear ex-918 kHz, nor experimental LW 207. By 1758 into UTwente, 7295.000 carrier is on already, presumably still BULGARIA, but at different local time no longer delayed until *1800.8 and indeed we can hear the real ``IRRS signing-on`` just seconds before 1800, and into `Feature Story News`. 7295 escapes first-adjacent QRM from East Turkistan, but it`s so huge on 7285 that some second-adjacent QRMs 7295. Hungarian is still way over 1323. The 7295 harmonic would now fall on 14590 - not heard at 1802 but some ute QRM locked onto at 14589.970.85v. 1803, `FSN Spotlite`. 1804, 1323 now atop the CCI, and 1805 VOA News, by remote, instead of UN News, until 1810 into fill music, while at 1809 AMI was = RomHung. Still music past 1815; 1818 UNESCO PSA in Spanish about masking; music. 1825 to `Country Jamboree`, fragments of which have been filler before. DJ explains how this was recorded in early October and when it might repeat; dedicated to the just-deceased Oct 4 Loretta Lynn, playing a number of her songs, still past 1844; 1855 recheck now in some talk show. Henceforth, no WOR to recheck for (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN. 28460 USB, Nov 4 at 2310, JJ2IJU contacting a US station: JJ2IJU Japan flag Japan AKIRA "AKI" HONDA, 9-39-1 AKO-DAI, KUWANA-CITY 511-0935 MIE-JAPAN --- among quite a bit of activity on 10m now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN [and non]. 10m ham contact: see URUGUAY [and non] ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 3 at 0644, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati; no other 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 5 at 0644, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati; and no other 9/kHz splits in cursory check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 6 at 0644, no JBA carrier direct from R. Kiribati, presumed axually a silent Sunday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Nov 3 at 1525, again sounds more like Dhivehi than Chinese; 1529 closing with www. site; 1529.5 usual English sign-off for Maldives service of Voice of Martyrs, Korea; from secret site but usual good signal way over here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Nov 4 at 1525, English for a change, about Protestant Reformation; 1529 closing only in English as V of Martyrs Korea, Maldives service with address maldives@vomkorea.com, off at 1530*. Unlike yesterday`s closing which I recorded via UTwente. I cannot figure out the word between www and .com in her Dhivehi(?) announcement, then same English as today. VG signal S9+10/20 direct from secret site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, Nov 3 at 0633, ORTM is still missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, Nov 5 at 0627, ORTM is still off, all month (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 5995, Nov 8 after 0700, still no signal this month from R. Mali; nor at 1710 into Canary SDR nor on 9635. Hope not gone for good. The ChiCom should have been maintaining this along with their Bamako relay: is that still 100% operational? Of course, coups and counter-coups, unstable politix. Military have delayed until March 2024, return to civilian rule https://www.france24.com/en/africa/20220606-mali-junta-announces-two-year-delay-until-democratic-rule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 13630, Nov 8 at 2158, song at S5/S8 continues thru hourtop, so not CRI? Yes it is, 2201 ID as ``Fréquence Afrique de RCI``, in a 2130-2230 French relay via Bamako (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 13730, Nov 9 at 0704, RNZP sufficient S8/9+10 with RNZ news of US elexions in American Samoa, another Pacifican, Guam? Never mentioned in Mainland WTW elexion coverage. Adrian Sainsbury tells me they are working on solving the China clash at least at 08-09. Wolfgang Bueschel says there is another 13730 collision with Austria at 11-12 UT; I`ve forwarded that also to Adrian, and hoping for an 11 MHz band replacement, better for the extra N American audience (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 3 at 0636, VON is still missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [non]. 7255-, Nov 4 at 0630, no signal direct from VON. C. 1730 into Canary SDR, nothing but huge CRI English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 5 at 0630, no signal from VON. Some editors tend to dispense with such non-logs, but I think stations` absences are just as significant if not more so, than their presences (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.93, Nov 8 circa 0705 still no signal from VON direct when the frequency is free; at 1803 into Canary SDR, 7255 totally dominated by CRI Russian via East Turkistan. Of course, evening channel for VON was originally 11770v or 9690v, but for longtime had been unwilling or unable to go there, rather 7255v. So now I check Canary on those alternatives: nothing but heavy ACI to 9690; 11770 clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 USB, Nov 9 at 0011-0043, S9/+10 of pirate music, jazzy at first; 0028.5 SSTV beepery; 0030.5 back to music, now hard rock. Never any voice announcements, let alone IDs but this: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,105091.0.html has many logs of Thunder Chicken Radio with SSTV images including some fuzzy cheesecake (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Nov 2 at 2337 UT on caradio, KTSB Tulsa mentions the BetQL network. I knew they were sportstalk, ``The Blitz``, now bettalk? Website sked does not mention that net but at 6-7 pm CT only, ``Bet MGM``. BTW, a strange, can it be coincidental? As my left fingers were misaligned, typing one character to the left of KTSB, I wrote to my surprise, KRAV --- another Tulsa station!! Could this happen in any other market? A project. BTW, ``BlitZ`` branding would fit much better on another Tulsan call, 1430 KTBZ, but that`s `The Buzz``, also sports nonsense. Date correct, overlooked in previous report (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 11705 DRM noise, UT Sun Nov 6 at 0455, presumed RRI at end of 0400 English broadcast to Asia; into UTwente SDR, but nothing on listed 11790 AM or DRM. Had been listening on AM to N America frequencies, 6020 & 7410, VG with `Listeners Letterbox` 0442-0452. Included recitation of new B22 English sked. I wasn`t paying close attention, but some frequencies seemed ``wrong`` compared to HFCC info I`ve already quoted: http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B22&broadc=RRO Own English fq sked does not match exactly HFCC registrations: https://www.rri.ro/en_gb/frecvente-259 And trying to reach program skeds, not only English but Spanish, diverted by an ``internal error`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAO TOME. 15460.075, Nov 7 at 1616, Afro lang S7/S9, off-frequency and just barely modulated, VOA Kinyarwanda, 100 kW at 100 degrees. Am wondering if this site ever manage to maintain frequency accuracy. There are 5 x 100 kW SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Fri Sept 4 at 0218, `Jazz from the Left` instead of `Encore` classical which is on the WRMI skedgrid now, and JftL only at some other times (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Friday Nov 4 at 2313, token English from REE about vaccines: altho stronger on the S meter, good signals on 12030 & 11940 are preferable with less fading and noise. Also VP 11685 avoiding Habana now on 11670. 2325 an acrobat about not being afraid (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 15150.03, Nov 4 at 1527, R. Tamazuj ID, obviously off-frequency but estimated rather than precisely measured to the Hz; much stronger than // 15550. The lower one is MADAGASCAR, the higher, VATICAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** THAILAND. 13750, Nov 10 at 0008, R. Thailand with news in English for N America, S7/S9 but weaker than some Chinese signals on band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 4 at 2313, no signal direct from VOT, presumed off again, erroneous at Emirler, but no chance to check later into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5980, Nov 8 at 2150, S5/S8 of music, maybe Turkish? Yes, VOT scheduled here until 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 21630, Nov 7 at 1626, BBCWS in English, S3/S6, the OSOB and SSOB, 125 kW at 114 degrees from ASCENSION, this hour only. BBC also here earlier in different languages, different sites (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28216 CW, Nov 8 at 1950, 4 dashes and DE K3FX/B ..., ``28.216 K3FX C NEPTUNE CITY, NEW JERSEY # 5W, 1/2 VERTICAL`` per WI5V list; among several beacons now on band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28207 CW, Nov 8 at 2212, E E E E E E E E E E DE N4XRO/B: ``28.2070 N4XRO C BURBANK, CA # 5W Horizontal Hamstick Dipole NEW 29 APRIL 2019`` --- If rated RST, this would get a T of 6 or 7, with a `chirp` rather than pure tone.

WORLD OF RADIO 2163 monitoring: confirmed first SW airing, UT Friday November 4 at 0330 on WRMI 7780. As usual on this system, first 10-15 seconds marred by self-imposed noise burst! Same heard briefly again at 0337. Poor reception via Georgia, Maryland, Texas remotes.

It's expected to hit tomorrow, Wednesday, November 9. We are expecting very high winds and heavy rains. As you know, we just finished repairing our transmission lines which were severely damaged by Hurricane Ian at the end of September. So we hope that we won't have to repair them again. But the situation appears very bad. We will likely have to shut the station down sometime Wednesday afternoon until the storm moves through the area, probably sometime on Thursday. However, we may have a power outage and/or antenna and transmission line damage, so we cannot say how long we will be off the air. If our Internet service does not go down, we will continue our Internet stream at www.wrmi.net Thank you for your good wishes, and we'll let you know what happens`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Nov 10 at 0002, WRMI is off, uncovering heavy Cuban jamming against nothing.
