** CANADA. Responses to my obs of ``no report received`` from Trenton
Military:
In the UDXF iog: ``Michael Scheel, Oct 5 #111948, After seeing that
Glenn Hauser reporting via his log online that he hadn't heard Trenton
for a while. I tried it just now (2032z) and hearing it weak but
readable via a SDR in the Midwest. The broadcast consisted of a roll
call of several terminals with "no report received".``
And Oct 5-6 on the WOR iog: ``Tuned into Trenton Military on 6754 kHz
starting at 0031 UTC (S9+20 signal into central NC) and heard several
actual weather reports for Shannon, Prestwick (sp?), and Keflavik,
however after that, everything else was "no report received" for all
other locations (Shearwater, Greenwood, Gander, Halifax, Trenton,
Bagotville, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton,
Abbotsford, Comox, Victoria, Vancouver). As usual the station clock
reports the current Eastern Daylight Time as Zulu time.
After a 0059 UTC sign off, it started up again around 0112 with many
"no report received" observations until 0130 when there were three
additional reports that were not "no report received" for Zagreb,
Split, and Thule. They certainly have a nice antenna farm -

** CANADA. 28197 CW, Oct 6 at 1528, after getting some California
beacons, one JBA here, starting with V-. Only listed at WI5V roster is
VE7MTY, Pitt Meadows BC, 25 watt vertical; I`ve heard before last Oct,
Nov, Dec, Jan and before then too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Oct 6 at 1935 checking for RHC English, no signal into
Maryland SDR; 1937 checking Missouri, cuts on and off and on at S7/S9.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

** FRANCE [non]. Re: "What`s a yacht, and what`s nacht?" --- Greg
Hardison replies: ``Amerikan yachts tend to gravitate toward
well-heeled Republicans. Former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos,
for example, was known to have 11 yachts of her own, to ply the waters
of our Great Lakes. Ahoy!`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)
** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Oct 6 at *1459.7 carrier on, 1500 seems to
JIP intro in English, never IDing as Voice of Martyrs, Korea, S9/+20
from secret site, this time pronouncing Dhivehi as ``dee-VEH-ee``
introducing reading from Proverbs, 1503 switch to YL with that in DD.
Much more about the language:

** SPAIN. 17855, Friday October 6 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
into DX-398 with clipon reelout, and just as good on 15520 backwards
for ME. News includes migrant and wildfire problems on Canary Islands
[named for dogs, not birds]; 2207 feature about Picasso, this being a
Picasso Year, 50th anniversary of his death. With art museum person
mainly discussing influences upon him. Lacking any visual element
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 6 at 2157 JBA on portable DX-398 with IS,
somewhat better later but I`m favoring Spain. At 2248 checked into
UTwente, S9+20/40 on 11785.009, music, 2251 s/off, 2252 IS loop, 2256
restart with German IDs, 2259.7 approx timesignal way early and s/on
German, Nachrichten, but chopoff about 2301.7*. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 26110, Oct 6 at 1517, unreadable talk, but sounds better in
USB than NBFM on the NRD 545. KMK282, the studio audio from KOVR `13`,
Stockton/Sacramento CA, has been reported active lately. 10m beacons
for CA are also in (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 28300 CW, Oct 6 at 1521, K6FRC/B, beacon sending nothing but
callsign, either 10 or 100 watts from Tracy CA. I have not heard K6FRC
beacon on 13565 in many months, suspected inactive (Glenn Hauser, OK,
OR) See also CANADA
** U S A. 28265 CW, Oct 6 at 1522, DE K6SSB/B, beacon sending nothing
but that. Not on the WI5V roster on any frequency, and nothing about
beacon or anything but identity at QRZ.com: ``K6SSB USA flag USA,

Hauser. OK, WOR)
** U S A. 28244 CW, Oct 6 at 1524, EEEEEEEE DE WA6APQ/B CN----. 30
watts vertical from Long Beach CA, per WI5V roster. QRZ.com:
``WA6APQ USA flag USA, DEWEY MYERS, 2903 Monogram Ave, LONG BEACH, CA
90815 USA --- The WA6APQ BEACON on 28.2440 MHz is located on a 330

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2211 monitoring: confirmed Friday
October 6 after 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+12 into
nearby Noale SDR, and no CC QRM, England finally gone.
NOT confirmed Fri Oct 6 after 2030 on WRMI webcast only, rather world
music tunes we have heard countless times before. This airing has
continued on the System B skedgrid for several weeks, never
fulfilled.
Confirmed Friday October 6 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, JBA into portable
DX-398 but surely much better otherwise. Preceded by music other than
IS & ID loop; as SW is just resuming after webcast only break. Next:

UNIDENTIFIED. 13974 USB, Oct 6 at 1510, sounds like MARS or some US
military, after a few words switches to digibursts, S8/S9. More talk,
between ``405`` and ``406``, one much weaker than the other; or
``Highland Echo``? Something like that, then ``moving to primary,
out``. Searching frequency at UDXF iog, besides Russian, Taiwan and
Chinese stuff, was active for Armed Forces Day crossband several years
ago, and several logs of NNN0ASF, MARS, Easton MO (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17680-17685-17690, Oct 6 at 1456, DRM noise at S9, too
close to weak AM signal on 17690, but DRM cuts off at 1457*. That
uncovers an AM on 17685 in French vs CCI QRM? Or voice-over something
in background. But this also goes off at 1458*, uncovering a JBA
carrier on 17685 AM.
Listings are of NO help: only 17685 in HFCC is non-digital Issoudun at
1600-1630, an hour later. Nothing in Aoki. EiBi shows that as
``CLA Amharic R.Int.V.o.Fanno AH EAf /F-i``
The 17690 until 1500 would be VOA Tibetan via Lampertheim, Germany
or/and CNR1 jamming, of course (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
