** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, via Argentine SDR, Sat Sept 24 from
*1459 cut on in music, VG S7/S9 signal, 1501 standard s/ons with staff
names, 1503 theme song, 1505.5 poetic recitation, ``primavera`` song;
1513.5 ID with `su companyia` and into live talk by the YLs starting
the 22nd program of the season with guests, chicos from the
secundaria. Certainly a repeat of what I heard Wednesday, so I don`t
pay much further attention; but at 1525, just in case I try for even a
carrier trace direct: no. 1534 greetings from phone callers, but chop
off during chat at 1542*. In case, I let it run until 1600, but
nothing more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 750, Sept 24 at 0627 UT, WSB is off for tower-light
maintenance the third and last? night in a row. On DX398 with internal
antenna only and altazimuth wrist mount, not much from Cuba this time,
but Spanish looping NE/SW, i.e. KAMA El Paso, see USA. From NW/SE in
English, ``Now, let`s put on some tunes``, and 0635 ``80s, 90s, Beach
Radio, more? fun``. At 0627 I had thought it was ``News Radio``. This
is the 25 kW Canadian far from any ocean beach in Melfort SK, CKJH.
Atlas shows Sask. River in the area and some little lakes, maybe
providing some kind of beach, or wishful branding? Website pictures a
very rocky beach and zero sunbathers: https://beachradiosk.ca/ I have
heard this before with or without WSB. Supposedly direxional almost
all northward at night with a notch toward WSB, ND daytime (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 11880, Sept 23 at 2312, RHC second English
broadcast of day is another total loss, S7/S9+5 of dead air except for
some crackling. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
11760, Sept 23 at 2312, S9+20 of dead air except maybe a trace of
modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
11850, Sept 23 at 2312, this RHC is off, also depriving us of the
11840 & 11860 spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
5040, Sept 23 at 2313, RHC good with music, could be English hour
inaudible on 11880, more likely Spanish as recently.
11950, Sept 23 at 2313, RHC with loud Spanish, presumably the
alternate TV audio hour of `Mesa Redonda`, but nominal // 6000 is off.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.
9535, Sept 23 at 2314, Chinese has CCI with a SAH presumably caused by
RHC always weakish here. CC is CNR1 jamming and/or RFA Kuwait.
11670, Sept 23 at 2315, RHC Spanish, S7/S9 distorted. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 23 at 2157, no signal in extremely distorted
English from R. Cairo into UTwente; somethings always amiss at Abis
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 24 at 0715, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati,
nothing else on 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MALI. 5995, Sat Sept 24 at 1850, since I`ve just checked for
NIGERIA on the Canary SDR, time for weekly English from ORTM, better
luck from this, S8/9+10 with warning in French that English is to
follow. YL accent so heavy she`s almost impossible to comprehend;
alternating OM is better but subjects do not grab my attention. 1904
brief noise burst and running-H2O QRM. 1905 mentions ``92.0`` and
abrupt cut to music. That`s their FM frequency in Bamako (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 24 at 0641, no signal direct from VON.
Something`s always absent from Abuja.
7255-, Sept 24 at 1849, no VON signal into Canary Islands SDR, not
checked earlier; was it offandonandoffandon, or just off? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6974.9 approx. AM, Sept 24 at 0126, JBA pirate
music. Many other reports as unID on 6974.89:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,102244.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, Sept 24 at 0127, pirate music at S9+20;
0133 soft tunes, YL ID? 0137 ``Teenagers in Love``; 0139 ID, ``Ball
Smacker Radio`` with tenpins SFX. This is her regular Friday-night
frequency; 0143 ``Down in the Boondox``; ID again at 0145, ``Ball
Smacker Radio, [tenpins], 6960 AM, somewhere in the Northeast``.
Meanwhile, I have been getting another B.S.R.[?] on 6950 USB, q.v. -
sure hope I`ve not mixed up my log notes about them. Much more here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,102253.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Sept 24 at 0126, S9 pirate music; 0129 YL
refers to ballsmackerradio.org -- what? Goes nowhere. BSR is already
on 6960 AM, q.v. 0147 something about ``gold-plated`` and website
again. 0151 listeners static?, 0152 transmitter off and on a few
times, barking sound. 0157 different ID by OM over music and surprise
CW once, only copied last letter, D or G. These explain it was really
WDOG doing parody of BSR, maybe Bone Snacker? No such website either.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120 kHz, Sept 23 at 0118 UT, heavy Spanish QRM to KMOX,
presumed KETU Catoosa/Tulsa again overtime past offical Sept sunset of
0030 UT; Oct: 2345. I think: FCC AM Query can`t find this or any OK
station on 1120! So I look up KRMG SS times. It would be a rare day
indeed if a clear channel station ever sic`ed the FCC upon such repeat
encroachers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5 AM, Sept 23 at 2311, local Enid CB pirate is
still
undermodulated, relaying and // music on 95.7 FM KXLS, S9 enough to
block the channel.
At end of AAAWWW on WBCQ before 0100 UT Sept 24, reading some items
from FRW specially compiled by lw, since new issue of FRW edited by
Dave is never done before Saturday morning; including ``Good Buddy
Radio`` in OK on CB ch 19, 27185 --- I never heard it called that. Did
some otherokie report it? AW never mentions who logged the items he
refers to, all too briefly, an opportunity ``not to encourage``
piracy, instead buy legal time on WBCQ, the only licensed [ex]pirate
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Friday Sept 23 at 2200, tokEnglish from REE, VG into
Maryland SDR, previews an interview with some scientist about the Juno
mission exploring Jupiter and satellites. In a few minutes I am
listening mostly to that rather than the simulcompetition from Turkey,
etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 23 at *2158, VOT carrier on at S9+45/50 into
UTwente, 2200 opening English but very undermodulated so again I have
to run both remote and local volumes at max for `normal` listening
level. But the competition from SPAIN has a more interesting topic
today, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U K [non]. 11825, Sept 23 at 2318, surprised to find an S1/S5 yet
sufficient signal from BBCWS in English discussing expansion of
Commonwealth to unlikely members like Mozambique. This hour only it`s
direct from VOA Tinang, Philippines relay for Indonesia, so not even
on a 21-degree antenna thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2157 monitoring: Still confirmed
Friday September 23 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz. Noale SDR has
timed out so I try the two in Parma, Italy: 2059 cuts off some other
program for ID and WOR, S9+10/20 but noisy, no QRM, and still not on
918 or 207 either; adjacents 1314 in Spanish, i.e. RNE R5 with three
synchros totalling 40 kW; and 1332 in Romanian, i.e. 50 kW RRA in
Galati. Other Parma gets better S/N, but also audiblizes some musiQRM
under.
Also confirmed UT Saturday September 24 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela,
5129.973, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR; by wrapup 0428 peaking a little
higher, S9+13.
Also confirmed Saturday September 24 from 1942 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
Gateway 160 Newsletter, Wentzville MO, VG steady groundwave S9+17 into
nearby Warrenton SDR, and no storm noise. Also from 1930 on WRN N
America webcast; missed checking first reliable airing at 1600. Next:

** U S A. 3265.171, Sept 24 at 0003, this WBCQ confirmed active but
way off-frequency, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, as `AAAWWW` has started on
UT Saturday. Rest of it I monitor on 7490 webcast; strangely, never
heard a single dig at Democrats being Commies, nor anything political,
maybe because TimTron is guest in studio. Allan is in Monticello
master control, Angela remote on the phone, so no fiddling with her
microphone as normally starting. Temp is 46 in Maine, expecting high
winds from edge of H. Fiona. Lots of talk about electric vehicles: TT
got a ride in one on the way in, and is impressed. 0020 thanking staff
and listeners. 0046 current date Sept 23, YOOLF 2022 and
quadri-casting. 0055 a few advance Free Radio Weekly items from lw -
see OKLAHOMA. Prayer and closing as usual run slightly over into Hal
Turner time, 0101 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 12160, Sat Sept 24 at 1700-1730, `Talking [sic] Machine
Show` from WWCR pounding in as usual here tho not targeted thisaway;
unusually plays some instrumental classical music from cylinders circa
1910y (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 750, Sept 24 at 0639 UT, WSB is off for tower-light
maintenance the third and last? night in a row. On DX398 with internal
antenna only and altazimuth wrist mount, not much from Cuba this time,
but NW/SE in English, see CANADA: and NE/SW Mexmx and Spanish,
certainly not Cuba, and unlikely any of the minor Mexicans.
Fortunately US counts upon a border station trying to sound Mexican,
which now YL IDs as ``en Kama750.com``, that is KAMA EL Paso TX, U4
10/1 kW. Website is really kama750am.com. Seems to take turns fading
up and down with Melfort, but anyway mutually nullable. Appropriately
I am DXing this while lying in my cama. Believe have heard before with
or without WSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7890, 7932 & 8620, still no signals from RV, Sept 24 at
0643 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1449.94 approx., Sept 24 at 0120 UT, het to the 1450
graveyard pileup. What`s this? MWoffsets has lots of precision
measurements but none lower than minus 15 Hz in the US (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4905, Sept 24 at 0705, S9+10 signal sounds somewhat
musical in a loop, maybe ute? Possibly R Relógio, Brasil, never heard
elsewhen and it`s too early for Tibet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. RF 8, 10, 12, 28, 35, Sept 24 at 1540 UT, BAD DTV
signals into my SSE antenna, probably Wichita area as APRS map shows
tropo enhancement north of here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
