** CUBA. 12000, Oct 23 at 0630, lite pulse jamming mixed with carrier
at S4/S5, suspected RHC on 2 x 6000. Then checking 6000, yes, still on
in English, suptorted S9+40. Back to 12000, now I can detect same JBM
English. 6000 off by next check 0720. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 13735 & 15300, Oct 23 at 1500, no signals yet from TDF
Issoudun. Should resume bilingual weather and ranking info by Sat Oct
28 for the second stage of La Boulangère sailboat race; yet website
bills this as ``without means of communication`` -- isn`t that
dangerous in case of emergency? Does that mean sailors are forbidden
to have transmitters?! ``Une aventure hors norme, au large et sans
moyens de communication.``
https://minitransat.fr/
``Départ de la 2e étape le 28 octobre à 13h (Heure locale)`` So is
that UT, UT+1 or UT+2? Canary is UT+1 until October 29, then UT.
Departure from Santa Cruz de la Palma; Arrivée inconnue à St-François
Riviera du Levant, Guadeloupe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 23 at 0446, still trying to get R.
Kiribati via Oahu SDR: nothing visible on waterfall, but SynchAM tries
to lock onto signal plus/minus ~2 Hz. 24h earlier this was displaying
a line at 846 but appeared to be boundary of something rather than a
genuine signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27184.45 AM, Oct 22 at 2222, steady S9+20 of gospel rock,
still at 2234, // Air One on 91.1 FM, i.e. KKRD Enid. Local CBer
pirate relay tying up a busy channel at least locally, atop hets from
skippers on off-frequencies. Has relayed various other local FMs
before. Not there 24h later facilitating skippileup (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 11800, Oct 23 at 2207 direct, RRI English is a
JBA understation beneath NHK in Japanese. For B23 from Oct 29 if not
28, everything one UT hour later and on different frequencies:
including 2300 for WEu and us beyond 7220, to Japan 9620. Full English
sked: https://www.rri.ro/en_gb/frecvente-259
Explicitly for NAm: 2130-2200 9500, 0100-0200 7325, 0400-0500 9510
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Monday October 23 at 2200, token English from SNR
starts by giving B23 schedule in generalities of mostly Spanish,
including 9690, which no doubt will include at 2300 instead, English
to us, Amy and also the voice of Justin Coe which has not been heard
otherwise for several weeks; VG S9+15/20 direct. After news, 2210
feature is interview with a director of `Ñ`, the notable 15th
anniversary of a literary festival on Oct 14-15, weekend following
Spain`s national day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TASMANIA [non]. 9955, Sunday Oct 22 at 2232, ``Waltzing Matilda``,
2234 Hobart Radio International, with ``news`` via WRMI as sked (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 22 at 2224 check, VOT English not off the air,
S9+20 direct but plenty of ACI.
11785, Oct 23 at 2200 and later chex, direct nor via UTwente, VOT
English not on the air. Nor on 9875, the 2030-2130 English channel
sometimes staying past 2200 unmoved. UTwente sporadically lox onto an
inaudible at 9875.003, else? Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
From B23, Oct 29, new sked will be 2300 on 5960; so if that be
missing, check 9610 for the 2030-2130 channel possibly extended by
dozers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 28300 CW, Oct 22 at 2236, beacon K6FRC, regular
strong signal, readable OK tuned to 28299-USB, but on 28300 itself is
a Brazuguese phone on USB; not respecting the ``beacon band``, which I
suppose has no official/legal status (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2213 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
October 22 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, still not
908 or 207; S9+17 into nearby Noale SDR, Qur`anRM barely audible under
from Iran, but unlike yesterday, no Hungarian heard from Romania. Also
confirmed at same time on WRN Europe webcast, and on WRMI
webcast-only.

sufficient into Durango2 SDR Mexico. But first 14 seconds totally
blocked by utenoiseblast.

webcast; WBCQ frequency not measured until 0344, 6160 -68v Hz =

** VANUATU. 9960, Oct 23 at 0634, R. Vanuatu still here, S4/S5 with
drumming which often follows and precedes 0630 PSAs (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7830, Oct 23 at 0646, S9 extremely distorted music bits
cutting on and off rapidly, as if spurious from a broadcast. Same as
48 hours ago. Wonder if it could be WRNO way out of whack, missing
from 7505 lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 0007 UT October 24
