** FRANCE. 6100, Oct 2 at 1533, TDF Issoudun with MiniTransAt yacht
race info, S9+25 into UTwente. YL voice this time, already past
weather, reciting race standings up to 30th place with figures, I
suppose distance traveled and/or remaining, in nautical? miles? 1541
introes music, rock playing until 1557* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Oct 2 at 1522, only JBA carrier frequency
in the 11.5s, presumed current spot for KurdoTurco radio war (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. High line noise level now registering S9+27 at
7 MHz, 0630 UT Oct 2. As result hardly any broadcast signals audible
except Martí on 7365, 7465; WRNO (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Oct 2 at 2206, token English from SNR, after news
a feature on winners of the San Sebastián International Film Festival,
VG S9+5/20 into Maryland SDR, none of which we are familiar with. 2212
about a local book fair which had to keep moving locations, interview
with someone from present Cuesta de Mollanos, a quiet corner with no
traffic, source for rare books. Other three frequencies, 15520, 17715,
11670, on and readable but weaker, much better on 17855 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 1 at 2205, VOT English not off the air
today, but only poor S8/S9 into UTwente where it should be inbooming.
On contrary, much further Maryland SDR gets it much better, S9+10/25,
agrees it`s +9 Hz; but lo-fi, overmodulated & distorted as the badax
is speaking at 2235; pass.
11785.009, Oct 2 at 2205, VOT English VG S9+50 into UTwente, but
overmodulated badax with news, a turnaway to simul Spain (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15185 // 15730, Sunday Oct 1 at 2040, VOA French with
language lesson explaining Mrs., Miss and Ms. Aoki & EiBi show this
2030-2100 broadcast via Grimesland is only on Sat & Sun. But 15185 in
French both days, 15730 in Hausa on Saturdays; VG signals. So the
French Fpeaking have no equivalent to Ms., just Mme and Mlle? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, UT Mon Oct 2 at 0500, this WWCR goes from VORW to
quick ID to: Arabic! again at another of the scheduled times for `Your
Firm Foundation`, as first encountered in Arabic at 1530 Saturday on
13845. As I said then, nothing on WWCR sked or program website about
anything in Arabic. I listen closely to the opening, but no
recognizable English words of introduxion, rather right into a dialog,
seems drama also with musical background, including at 0505, ``Allah
Akhbar`` repeated -- better watch out, this is allegedly a Christian
station!
Still no Oct 1 program sked update posted -- until recheck at 2220.
Now labeled Oct 1 but same listings for this as in Sept except
2105-2200 Wed on 9350 rather than 2100- once I have corrected their UT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9980, Mon Oct 2 at 1526, WWCR-4 is off the air, contrary to
online Sept 1 sked which shows a M-F break from TOMBS at 17-21 UT,
i.e. erroneous for 16-20 real UT, while TOMBS was supposed to be ON,
M-F at 14-16 real UT. Ditto on the just `updated` Oct 1 sked.
Something`s wacko at Walterboro and/or notvoicing via Nashville (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7505, Oct 2 at 0633, WRNO still modulating with gospel rock,
S9+38. Wolfgang Bueschel reports later: ``Check at 0847 UT, WRNO heard
on 7505.001 kHz in Mandarin - Chinese sce at S=8-9 signal - fluttery
on dark path into Perseus SDR unit in Edmonton Alberta CAN, Oct 2nd.

And Ron Howard, California, replied to my last night report: ``Hi
Glenn, Oct 1 (Sunday) - WRNO (IDing "75-oh-5") with religious
programming past 0400+ UT, with very good reception. 0510: Prayer in
English; ending the "Country Roads" show and also exiting with Roy and
Dale [Evans] Rogers singing "Happy Trails" (0511-0514). Later from
0612 to 0626, again in English with another religious program;
rechecked after 0631+ to only find a very strong open carrier (no
audio at all) past 0705+ UT`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, WTWW: George McClintock advises that his remote
control is not working, so the reactivation will be delayed until
tomorrow night, i.e. UT Wednesday October 4 from 0000 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9367-9402 approx., Oct 2 at 2320, UTwente is getting
S9+15 of racket like OTH radar. Center would be 9384/9385 but no peak
signal noted. I was checking if and how WOR on 9395 WRMI would be
making it an hour+ from now altho not aimed thataway. Synch does lock
onto algo 9394.998, maybe WRMI but not audible. Recheck at 2340,
racket off and WRMI quite audible on 9395.000 at S8/9+10 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 2350 UT October 2
