** BRAZIL. 3365.1, Oct 15 at 0017, JBA carrier direct. See previous
report of R. Cultura Araraquara special test definitely heard via
remote in Brasil on this offset frequency. Was to run until 0200;
recheck via Brasília at 0228, it`s off; to return nevermore? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 11820, UT Sun Oct 15 at 0023, Chinese opera, S9+10/20. Don`t
understand a word or note but nice to listen to for a while till
fading by 0040 to S7/8. I sure thought it was Mandarin, but listed as
CRI Cantonese this hour only to SE Asia from Xianyang 59 site (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5990, Oct 15 at 0046, dead air with some hum at S9+30/40 from
CRI relay; then, bits of mod trying to break thru: wiggle that
patchcord! Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Oct 15 at 0047, dead air at S9+20/40 with some hum;
something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. Hardly Chinese opera, but when that fades I`d better
check for pirates on Saturday night: 6950-USB, Oct 15 at 0049, S8/S9
sounds like oldtimeradio drama; distracted by another on 6955-USB, so
tuning forth and back. At 0051, 6950 is talking about SCOTUS as if in
a documentary. 0104 in music. Meanwhile I switch to real music on
Encore, 5850 WRMI, missing first few minutes. 0154 recheck, both
pirates off.
Many more reports of this as Zeeky Radio:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, Oct 15 at 0050, right next to another
pirate on 6950, music I would call ``trance``; 0056 cut to SSTV which
presumably contained an ID but not for me; 0057 back to music; 0103
announcement maybe attempt at ID but all I catch is ``listening to
me``. And over to WRMI 5850 for Encore. 0154 recheck, both pirates
off. Many more logs with SSTV images, but unID:

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11860, Oct 15 at 0040, huge loud hum, S7/8, obviously
the Republic of Yemen Radio transmitter which has been thus for
months; cannot hear any Cuban jamming against nothing under it. They
must be totally incompetent at site, but which? Aoki says Jeddah, EiBi
says Riyadh, HFCC says nothing, WRTH UD says Riyadh: the winner.
Perhaps Ed, the American ``navydude`` DXer who lives there, could clue
them in (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 365 MCW kHz, Oct 15 at 0650, JBA non-Canadian beacon, or two
mixing, hard to differentiate, but I think I hear AA, which is 100
watts from Fargo/Harwood ND; heard before, last Feb 22. Many other
tantalizing NDB carriers vs the high line noise level (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. UT Aug 27, 2023 at 00-01 on WRMI 5950, Texas Radio Shortwave
presented recordings off WRNO air by Mick Delmage, Alberta of two
WORLD OF RADIO editions from 1986, #322 and #342 - almost complete,
the second one slightly short for time. Many thanks to Terry Colgan
for this recognition. A few weeks later, TRSW suddenly suspended
operations. I hope Terry is OK. Now available this nostalgia as
broadcast on WRMI:

A special QSL was offered, but should not be requested now from
listening to this. It may be viewed however at:

** U S A. 5050, Oct 15 at 0019, no signal from WRMI; still off at
0200, but rock music on 9455. Aoki shows 5050 at 22-04 with Legends,
EiBi at 01-04. WRMI Legends blox are more convoluted also involving
9395. Aoki has also failed to delete long-defunct WWRB from 5050
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Oct 15 at 0019, no signal from WTWW; I guess it
be irregular, not always starting at 2300 or even 0000. Next check
0200 it`s on, Biermann ID as Ancient Word Radio -- another AWR! and
Truth2Ponder saying next week expects to add live services from the
little church he founded in SW VA, and repeat in evening. Evidently
will mean reactivating 9475 at least on Sunday mornings (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
