DX/SWL/MEDIA programs will be updated on Nov 5; and WOR RADIOSKED
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 4 at 1746, no signal yet into
Argentina remote; *1748 cuts on with song as I pause for [lunch], 1822
from talk to another song, S7/S9. 1836 LRA36 ID with RAE; 1827 ID with
Universidad Nacional de Quilmes. Plug an event to take place Wed Nov 9
at 18h [21z] in some auditorium; rather than a broadcast, I think.
1831 YL with met conditions including temp range -10 to -23 C.
Recheck 2249, still on at S9/+10, and mostly music 2305+. At 2325
after music, sends Morse code: RADIO NACIONAL ARCANGEL SAN GABRIEL
---, and at 2326 ``a partir de este momento``, multi-ling ID and
pretending to sign on again; to repeat another 5+ hours? 2329, ``una
nueva emisión de `Uniendo Voces``, usual opening niceties, somehow
mentioning ``nuestras Islas Malvinas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 21640.124 oscillating up to 21640.158 and down again as
measured by TWR Bonaire KiwiSDR, MiniTransAt, S6/S9, Nov 4 at 1534,
YL in French and English rankings up to 51st - I didn`t think there
were more than 30 on the first leg of the sailboat race. 1539 ``à
demain`` and music starting with EU anthem on fife, medley of many
more bits, not the classic rock tunes heard before, but must still
drive Shazaam crazy. 1559 brief announcement, James Bond theme music
until 1600* on the unstable Issoudun transmitter. However, in AM
reception mode you might not notice, they hope (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** IRAN [non]. 7590, Nov 4 at 0628, Greekish? music, something new
here, S9+10 vs intermittent line noise level of S9+20. 0630 Persianish
news about Hezbollah, clips of SOS Blinken in English. I bet it`s
Radio Farda. Yes: now listed 0230-0830 via KUWAIT. No jamming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, Nov 4 at 0635, RNZP achieves only a JBA
carrier. Extreme variations in strength vs last time (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 15, Nov 4 at 0125 UT, astounded to see a full-blown
infomercial - on TBN?? Did KTBO ``14`` OKC pick up a wrong satellite
feed? Something about health/medicine, I guess, unknown if
gospelhuxter undertone. I *never* watch TBN, but tuning across it.
Same on cable 3 Optimum Enid. No, at 0130 TBN ID flashes and into
`GAITHER A Legacy In Music` which is scheduled per TitanTV listings at
0000-0130, 0130-0300 and 0300-0400 UT. I guess the infomercial is part
of that? I let it run on a monitor, and at 0209 another commercial!
For OMEGA-XL. I know the lines are fuzzy, witness PBS, but aren`t TBN
stations licensed as noncommercial? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [non]. 5960.001, Nov 4 at 2306, NO English signal from VOT,
something`s always erroneous at Emirler; instead Chinese from XJPBS,
East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs
and other Moslems, still thus at 2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 26110 FM, Sat Nov 4 at 2017 UT, coverage of stupid ballgame,
presumably foot, clue such as ``end zone``, S5 but steady and
sufficient. No doubt KMK282, the studio audio of KOVR or KMAX,
Stockton or Sacramento CA. I`ve frequently tuned past here but first
time heard in some weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2214 monitoring: ``Dear Glenn:
WRMI, 9395 kHz:
0030, 0045, 0058 (55343), QRN,

(Lemke, Richard -AB)``

WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG into nearby SDR; from next week will be at

** U S A. 5085 & 9475, WTWW still off the air and George McClintock
informs me at 15z Nov 4: Ted really left them in a mess. Engineer from
Continental is coming Nov 8-9-10 to try to fix two transmitters. He
was astounded to learn that one of them had been off the air for a
year. Meanwhile will remain silent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carriers, Nov 4 at 0536, picking
some likely spots to tune USB 1 kHz below: 531, 684, 711, 774, 855,
999, 1125 - likely Algeria, Spain, Western Sahara (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7828 USB, Nov 4 at 0632, the echoey tones are back as
previously reported, S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 26220-26420 approx., Nov 4 at 2020 in bandscan, regular
pulsing maybe CODAR but seems a bit too fast for that, too slow for
OTH radar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 26375 USB, Nov 4 at 2019, 2-way in Spanish, maybe
``freebanders`` below rather than above 27 MHz CB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 35790, Nov 4 at 2022, JJBBA carrier. Checking out a tip
from Don Moman, Alberta, to the WOR iogroup that he was getting Radio
Martí, 3rd harmonic // 11930! It seems the F2 MUF is hitting 40 MHz
now, and he`s rather far from Grimesland for it to be sporadic E. To
me, Es distance would be good, but too close for F2. Harmonix tend to
favor odds or evens, so if the MUF rise further, check for X5 on
59650, which my R75 will barely tune, just below the old NTSC TV ch A2
FM audio frequency 59750. Neither he nor I were getting it there nor
on 11930 X 2 = 23860. Also check anyway X4 = 47720 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
