** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Oct 1 at 1435, no signal yet from
LRA36 for Saturday repeat of Wednesday; favorite Argentine SDR is
offline so I have to try others in Argentina, Uruguay, later Brasil.
*1449.8 cuts on with songs, S6 into Uruguay, S3 into Argentina. By
1504 the Esperanza themesong is playing. 1507.5 intro talk; 1508
intermittent music QRM off-frequency, never on for long enough to
nail it on 15470, 15475 or 15480, probably local SDR mixture or
overload with ham emissions. 1509.5 song; 1514 chat; 1522 song; 1530
YLs chatting with OM guest, keeps on going. Really too weak to follow.
After 1605 I`m mainly listening to `The Score` on KUCO, but weak S3/S4
JBA LRA36 still detectable, 1611, 1619, 1631, 1638; surprise fades up
about 1645 to S6/S7 into Montevideo; still on past 1700, unusual: 1704
song now peaking at S9+5, last detected at 1711. Just as well, as
various SDRs have been timing out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 382 MCW kHz, Oct 1 at 0352 UT, dash and YPL, 1000 watt NDB
at Pickle Lake ON. Nice to hear again as I still have a neighborhood
noise peak roughly 360-420 kHz. Last logged Sept 5, 2021.
351 MCW kHz, Oct 1 at 0353 UT, dash and YKQ, 500 watt NDB at
Waskaganish/Fort Rupert QC. I was tuned to 352 USB, somewhat avoiding
350 RG OKC. Last logged January 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. [WOR] Cross-cultural opera from China --- Now
underway in the traditional Saturday afternoon opera time, in Met
off-season. As heard here via KUCO FM, WFMT network is presenting a
Beijing produxion of Lehár`s The Merry Widow -- beautiful tunes even
if you think you don`t like opera. The arias, or some of them, are in
German, not Hungarian or English; while spoken passages are in
Mandarin, like at 1805 UT in the 2nd act. It would be too difficult to
translate to Chinese and still fit the metre. All but one cast members
have Chinese names. This just switched to German. It seems the NCPA -
National Center for Performing Arts, is dedicated to introducing
Western culture to China. Good for them! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. Re ``"Immaculate Concussion: The Truth Behind
Havana Syndrome", repeat time on CNN changed from 0100 UT Oct 1 to
0300, per TitanTV listings: O yeah? Don`t blame TTV. CNN Breaking
News, guess what, bumped it. Another lesson that if you want to see
something on CNN, better catch its original airing, as no telling what
will happen to the scheduled repeats (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 1 at 0642 UT, JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati, stronger than usual so can almost imagine some modulation
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 1 at 0630, VON is off, but I discover VANUATU
is back on 7260, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. Tnx to Randy Stewart, re my latest REE log for Sept 30:
``Justin Coe REE interview with bass-baritone --- It's Thomas
QUASTHOFF. Born 1959 in Germany; a thalidomide baby, he had severe
birth defects with malformed arms and legs. Stands 4 ft 5 in tall.
Mostly known for lieder and oratorio work but has sung major roles in
a few staged opera productions, e.g. Amfortas in "Parsifal" at Vienna
State Opera. Before singing career took off mid-1980s he was an
announcer at NDR Hamburg. In recent years he's gotten into jazz
singing. Speaking of announcing, I'm finally going back to KSMU
part-time starting next Wednesday. 73, Randy`` Stewart, Springfield MO
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. The latest from Jeff White, WRMI on FB as of 1740 UT Oct 1:
``Hurricane damage repair is going full speed here in Okeechobee
today. Engineers Pat Travers and Don Frish are in the field repairing
the transmission lines, and we hope to have the first transmitter back
on the air by the end of today if all goes well. The first frequencies
to come back will probably be 5950, 9395 and 9455 kHz. In the photo
here you can see the extensive damage to one of the antenna towers
that snapped in the middle and buried itself into the ground.`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 1 at 0630, VON check finding it missing from
7255, but now a signal here where there has not been any at this hour.
I bet it`s R Vanuatu finally reactivated. Talk does have that Bislama
cadence, S3/S4 past 0637 and no signal on 14520 = x2. At 0648 ``island
music``. I really don`t want to stay awake any longer but manage to do
so until this cuts off at 0700, and by 0705 I find signals back on
3945 harmonix: 7890 = x2, JBA carrier, and 11835 = x3 with music at
S7. So it`s back to ``normal`` since it disappeared on Sept 16 -
except the QSY time is one hour later instead of 0600.
I figured Ron Howard would also catch this: ``Oct 1 observations:
Radio Vanuatu (news & sports 0658-0714 UT) returned to their normal
frequencies: 0620-0659* UT on 7260 and *0659 on harmonics 11835 //
7890, with 3945 being unusable.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 1 from 0339
UT, when the continent is still in darkness: 531, 549, 585, 612,
639-2, 657, 684, 693, 747, 774-2, 855-2, 882, 891, 909, 999, 1044,
1098, 1107-3, 1125, 1296, 1305. Usual technique, USB upstepping by 9
kHz tuned to frequencies 1 kHz below, to detect any 1 kHz hets. This
time I reverse the process on LSB 1 kHz above, in case some be
obscured by NAm even channels, but only get one more which is usually
easier: 621. -2 means at least 2 carriers beating; -3 at least three.
Many of these can be correlated with likely Algeria, Spain, UK, etc.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5910 USB, Oct 1 at 0626, JBA one side of 2-way contacts,
not Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7680, Oct 1 at 0632, JBA carrier like last night, but
can`t make out any modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 1829 UT October 1
