** CUBA. 6000, Sept 15 at 0418, RHC English S9+50 direct but
overmodulated/distorted. It`s always something wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9790, Sept 15 at 0421, CRI relay only S8 and JBM = just
barely modulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760 & 15140, Sept 15 at 1501, for the record, Sunday-only
RHC Esperanto missing from both known frequencies as to be expected. I
expect the first airing at 0700 has also been missing; what about the
third airing Sunday afternoons at uncertain time and frequency? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 15 at 0423, Station YHWH pirate is S6/S8
but undermodulated so JBA. Somewhat better still on at 0520 when I can
make out a few words (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [non]. 780, Sept 15 at 0414 UT and later, WBBM Chicago in
the clear, no daytimer KSPI Stillwater on air tonight unlike last
night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PUERTO RICO [and non]. 391 MCW kHz, Sept 15 at 0535 UT, ND beacon
DDP, 2000 watts at San Juan/Dorado - Luís Muñoz Marín Intl AP. Tuning
upward, first copied at 389 USB, audible only on E/W loop into R75.
Great to hear this again, one of few such remaining active beyond
North America. My last previous log:
``391 MCW kHz, Dec 31, 2023 at 0418 UT, DDP, 1 or 2-kW NDB at San
Juan/Dorado, again at 3677 km = 2284 stmi. Must be alert for 369 ZDX
Antigua, 323 TAB T&T``
But current RNA list shows ZDX 369 last logged 2024-02-19; and TAB 323
Trinidad last logged 2024-08-25 with ``0`` watts. Are there any others
in Caribbean, Central or northern S America still active? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.005, Sept 14 at 2214, VOT English not off the air,
S9/+15 into UTwente, considerably weaker than normal but sufficient.
`The Energy Agenda` is underway until 2218 music. 2222 multi-lingual
ID filler reel. 2224 song. 2229 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` repeat
about copper handicrafts from Marash(?). 2236 ``with-you-every-hour``
promo, music. 2241 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2246
multi-lingual ID filler reel AGAIN this hour. Something`s always awry
at Ankara. 2248 music. 2252 s/off as if the 1230 on 17620. 2253 IS to
2255.7* chopoff (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. ND beacons audible tnx to lowering noise level - only S7/S8
and improving conditions, Sept 15 at 0522-0527 UT on NRD-545 with E/W
longwire:
329 MCW, PMV, 25 watts at Plattsmouth NE, last logged Jan 28, 2024
344 MCW, JL, Joplin MO, 0 watts in RNA list = I suppose, unknown
power, `Lunns`
353 MCW, LI, Little Rock AR, 400 W, `Lasky`
356 MCW, ODX, Ord NE, 25 W
After 0535, I compare on R75 with E/W loop; different results:
251 MCW, AM, Amarillo TX, 400 W, `Pande` -- but see PUERTO RICO!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
September 14 at 2300 on WTWW 9475, VP S8/S9 into UTwente, so not aimed
at Europe? ACI from 9470. At 2259.5 had dumped out of PPPP for ID and
WOR on time. 9475 of course VG direct.
Also confirmed UT Sunday September 15 at 0005 the 0000 on WRMI 9955.
Bonaire SDR not available but I see on Kiwimap a new? one in
Cundinamarca, so try it: good, S9+10/20. It reads 12 Hz high for WWV
and me.
Also confirmed UT Sunday September 15 from 0315, the 0315v on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, MO, right on nominal time! S9/+15 into KM4RT SDR near
Memphis; S9/+10 into W8BUG SDR Knoxville but which lax a waterfall.
Next:
Also confirmed Sunday September 15 at 1900 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.995, S9+5 into UTwente across Europe.
UNIDENTIFIED. 711 kHz, Sept 15 at 0540 & 0546 UT, only hit in a full
9/kHz bandscan for JBA TA carriers - presumably El Aaiún, Morocco 300
kW, a.k.a. Western Sahara - unless it`s a Cuban +1 kHz spoiler like
631, 891 and 1141 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
