** ASCENSION. 21630, Tue July 23 at 1424, JBA carrier is the OSOB and
thus the SSOB. Per EiBi & Aoki, it`s BBC Hausa at 1400-1430 M-F, but
1100-1430 Sat - and never on Sunday? Here we are near the solar cycle
peak and 13m band is drastically underused. Not a single transmission
to or from North America! It should work at least over day paths from
European or African afternoons into our mornings. Only SPAIN is
interested in such a service, but 16mb suffices when it`s not missing
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, July 23 at 0655, S9+30 of dead air from R. Rebelde.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009-, July 23 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS & IDs,
S7/S9 direct vs high local line noise level. At 2232 into UTwente when
measured, S9+30/45, ``always-by-your-side`` promo, `Turkey`s Geomarked
Products` about olive oil soap from Mina? on the Aegean coast. 2235
music. 2238 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music, 2248 ``w-y-e-h``
again. 2252 s/off ignoring SW and IS once to 2253* chop, no finesse
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2252 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday July 23 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+12 into Querétaro SDR.
Also confirmed Tuesday July 23 at 1319 the 1300 on WRMI 9955 not off
the air, S6/S9 direct.
Also confirmed Tuesday July 23 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia,
1322.994, S7/S9 into Cavriglia SDR, since Noale & Parma are offline,
and the three in Trieste are not getting it at all. There is lite
musical CCI, Romania? NWlist shows 15 kW there finishing at 2000, but
50 kW in Azeri from Iran until 2020*. Also audible into UTwente, S9
but noisy reading 1322.991.
``Listener report. WOR on 1323 kHz AM (via Italy) --- Hello Glenn, I
can confirm that you are now on 1323 kHz from Nexus International
Broadcasting Corp., medium wave, transmitting from Milano Italy. Your
WOR program was heard in the Township of Owingen, Lake Constance
County, Southern Germany on a Sangean DT200X with internal ferrite
rod antenna (no external antenna!), with SINPO 55444, on July 23 2024
at 2007 UTC. I have sent the station a QSL request (online) but just
wanted to let you know that your program is getting out on that QRG.
Attached is a short audio snippet for you. Hope you enjoy it and
great to hear your voice on the AM band. Coincidentally I listened to
your MP3 edition earlier today on a bike ride. Glenn Hauser is there
on Nexus while the rest of Europe is shutting down AM for good. Not
sure how you made that happen but this is awesome. Well done! 73! Matt

** U S A. 9955, July 23 at 0659, WRMI back on with RFI ID in Spanish
closing its broadcast. No ID but carrier cut for a few sex before 0700
resuming with Polish Radio External Service in English via WRN.
Coincidental, or cut for a reason to change antenna or transmitter?
Seems the same S9+20 afterwards and undermodulated. A few seasons ago,
WRMI had different day and night frequencies for some transmitters,
but skeds no longer show any of that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1650+/-, July 23 at 0652 UT, continuous tone from KSVE El
Paso TX, as previously approx. 420 Hz - shouldn`t it be 440? Seems to
be constant every night. Some more responses to my reports:
``[WOR] Re Glenn's UNIDENTIFIED. 1650.42 & 1649.58 approx. Eric
Fetters-Walp, Jul 20 #41975, IRCA iog: ``I get out of the habit of DXing
on MW in the peak of summer, but after following this discussion on the
board and hearing Glenn talk about it in this week's episode of "World of
Radio," I turned on my receiver at 0605 UTC/11:05 p.m. PDT and heard
the tone immediately upon tuning in 1650 kHz. In fact, it was the only
thing I could really hear as neither KBJD and KFOX were dominating the
frequency.
I also checked the SDRs in Lubbock, Texas, and Truth or Consequences,
New Mexico, and found the tone stronger but matching exactly what I
heard. It was really loud via the Lubbock SDR! Here north of Seattle,
the tone was audible for the entire time I listened until 0630 UTC. It
faded in and out and "wobbled" somewhat, but it never fully
disappeared here. Assuming this is indeed KSVE, I'm about 1,388 miles
from that station's transmitter. Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens,
Washington``
Rick Barton, WOR iog: ``[NOTE]: 1650, We have been hearing this loud
hum-whine here for months, never got around to asking if other DXers
had an opinion on it, when we finally saw it mentioned recently by
Glenn Hauser. Here, always very strong when loops are oriented for E/W
reception. Sometimes can't be nulled out, and can still be audible
(albeit less signal strength) with loops oriented N/S. Tuned in
again, just to verify, at 4:30A local {1130 UT} on 4 band battery
portable and internal loop bar. -- Barton-AZ`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
This report dispatched at 2323 UT July 23
** VANUATU. 9960, July 23 at 0658, tune-in just in time to hear R.
Vanuatu go off*. Later on, 1000-1100, before s/off, it`s now being
reported on 7260 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
