** ARGENTINA [and non]. 28193 CW, Sept 30 at 2205, wobbly dash, steady
dash, and VVV DE LU2DT ... WGB list: ``28193 LU2DT - Mar Del Plata BA
ARG GF11fx - #0/1/3 (14 Sept 2024) Note: VVV de ID + grid 30" off -
Pwr 10w``. QRZ.com: ``LU2DT Argentina flag Argentina, Radio Club MAR
DEL PLATA, C.C. 664, MAR DEL PLATA, BA 7600, Argentina``. Also relogs
of VE1VDM/B, NS, 28174; and V31HQ/B Belize, 28258 - over a wide area
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. 28405 USB, Sept 30 at 2209, PP5KP calling CQ DX several
times. QRZ.com: ``PP5KP Brazil flag Brazil, RAFA, Rafael Capistrano,
Rua Manoel Vidal, 89 - Pântano do Sul, Florianópolis, SC 88067140,
Brazil`` with photos of equipment, certificates (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 889 & 891, Sept 30 at 0626 and earlier, no spurs/hets
detectable, unlike usually. Maybe fixed or 890 R. Progreso itself be
off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Sept 30 at 0235, S9+30/40 of dead air in English from
RHC - not even a trace of mod. Only other frequency on is 15230 at
0249, S9/+10 of extremely suptorted music in presumed Spanish service.
Somethings always wrongs at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, Sept 30 at 0631, surprised to find RNZP here so
late, after nothing on 9700, 11725 or 13690; S8/S9 report about a case
of radiation exposure on Guam; 0633 start another program, `It`s
Personal` interview. This is not a mistake, however, as Tanino
Marabello points out, another sked revision shows 17675 at 0000 until
0658 daily ``updated 8 Sept``! Surely was not running 17675 that late
already for two sesquiweeks:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen
17675 also at 2259-0000 Sun-Fri only - so that means ZERO frequencies
during that hour on Saturdays, surely not correct! 13690 now shown at
0659-1258 for Pacific daily, AND 1059-1258 for Solomons/PNG on M-F
only. Does that mean one transmitter split into NW and NE antennas, or
two different transmitters on same frequency? This span was previously
shown on two different frequencies. At 1259-1650 daily on 7440 for
Pacific, which I confirmed circa 1345 after a 1-hour power outage
here. 15720 at 1859-2258 depending on day of week, target.
This schedule can be so confusing. Instead of specifying different
days of week for each segment, they ought to have complete skeds for
Mon-Fri, another for Sat only and another for Sun only. DRM skeds
should also be separated. Also it takes a lot of fishing around
website to find program sked info, depending on whether it`s RNZ
domestic relay and those are of course in local imaginary time UT+13
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 USB, Sept 30 at 0237 song, S9+10/20 somewhat
distorted. These say it`s KDOG:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, Sept 30 at 0228, open carrier, unID. No
reports in HFU but 25 hours earlier was Liquid Radio (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27184.92 approx., Sept 30 at 0255, Enid CB pirate with
music // 105.5 K288FX translator of Kay-Love, KYLV 88.9 OKC - but with
a big het from a spoiler about 27184.65. Same situation at 0625
recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 11934.894, Sept 30 at 1550, Arabic lexure
with music segments, and NO, chirping/jamming for a change, presumed
still Rep. of Yemen Radio service; S9+10/20 into UTwente. Wanted to
hear such ID around 1600 but *1557 outwiped by heavy ACI from 11940,
CRI English claiming everything is just fine and free in China,
restarting English at 1600; from Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems. By 1707
recheck, 11934.895- in the clear again, and still at 1931, exactly
same offset (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15520+, Mon Sept 30 at 2202, token English from SNR, ONLY
here, now the other three frequencies ALL OFF: 17855, 17715, 15390 -
unless some might have moved without notice: they never announce any
frequencies during broadcast. Something`s not sufficient at Noblejas.
15520 is S9+10/20 direct off the back toward ME, with flutter: not
solid but readable. 2215 feature interview is something about king of
Spain commissioning art, women`s portraits? by Rubens from the Low
Countries in the XVII century (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TAJIKISTAN. 15515, Sept 30 at 0250, gospel huxter in English,
S9/+10 with flutter. EiBi shows AWR via Dushanbe for Bangladesh at
0200-0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sunday Sept 29 at 2159, VOT IS, not off the
air, VG S9+45/50 into UTwente. 2200 sign/on as if it`s 1230 on 17620,
preview features `Weekly Analysis`, `Letterbox` and music, into olds.
One topic is objexion to US lifting arms embargo on Greek Cyprus. 2216
`Weekly Analysis` by Prof. Dr. somebody of some institution, cannot
possibly copy the names or even guess at their spellings, nor at
outro. About crises in ME and Europe. 2224 `The Letterbox Program`:
Hope you are all in good mood. Halil is very well today unlike last
week. 1) Christer Brunström, Sweden: report of 11 August. Using a VOT
QSL to illustrate an article in Eter Aktuellt. Says the 25-language ID
is a waste of time. Why insist in English we call it Türkiye? Should
other countries require to be called Sverige, or España? Halil
explains how he used to be mocked with turkey-gobbling, like when he
visited the US at Thanksgiving. I`ve got news for them: it sounds too
much like Turkey - should come up with a totally different name. Some
remark about climate change. Tech dept says the multi-lingual ID
filler reel, as I call it, is when they are turning some of the 3
satellites in use -- yeah, sure. Siam changed to Thailand to avoid
confusion with that cat. 2) at 2234: Jayanta Chakroborty, New Delhi,
yet again for QSL, 7 Sept report on 7275 at 0300: why does he keep
reporting the NAm frequency off the back and not the S Asian 6165 off
the front? Perhaps at 8:30-9:30 am IST there is too much summer
daytime for 6 MHz. 3) David Ross, somewhere in Canada, new listener?
Sept 9 report on 7275. DXer since 1972 and has huge ham country total.
No eQSLs, only pQSLs. 4) Matthew Ellis, Springfield USA - MO, is that
Missouri? heard Sept 8 at 2230. 5) Ankor? Oleg?, Brest, Belarus, no
further info. 2245 time`s up, goodbye. 2246 music. 2248 multi-lingual
ID filler reel. I thought there were more than 25 but have never
counted them. 2252 headlines, more than usual including Greek Cypriot
item. 2254 s/off as if on 17620. Something`s always awry at Ankara.
2254.8 IS a few times to 2255.3* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.005-, Sept 30 at 2200, VOT English not off the air,
but S9+20/30 direct, s/on as if it`s 1230 on 17620 - something`s
always awry at Ankara. Says after `Review of Turkish Press`, will be
`Energy Agenda`, `That`s Why` and music; into olds, starting with
denials of reports that Germany is deporting 200 refugees, Turx? At
2228 into UTwente when measured, S9+45 ``always-by-your-side`` filler
promo crutch, music. 2236 `That`s Why` about ex-planet Pluto. 2241
music. 2243 ``a-b-y-s`` again already. Well, they do say it`s
``always``, music. 2250 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2253 s/off the
1230 on 17620 - something`s always awry at Ankara, and IS. 2256
re-start IS with German IDs. 2300 accurate timesignal and s/on German,
Altrichten to 2203* chop. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U A E. 9895, Sept 30 at 0243 ME music, S9/+10. EiBi & Aoki show the

OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13563+, Sept 30 at 0246, HIFER beacon AN from SW corner of
AZ is JJBBA vs noise level. The only one heard at all lately, despite
at least once-daily scans of this ISM band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, UT Mon Sept 30 at 0230, WRMI starting `Wavescan` with
Ray reading a script about early wireless in Japan. Then I find same
on 5850, but not synch, 4 sex behind 5800. As on skedgrid simul but
different playouts on Systems D and F if you look at programming blox
rather than transmitter blox atop which show otherstuff (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9395 & 9455, Sept 30 at 0241, both these WRMIs are OFF,
while the 5s and 7s are nominal. They had been back on since the worst
of H. Helene (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3803 LSB, Sept 30 at 0225, sounds like standup comedy
routine, with audience applause, reverb; 0226 interrupted by ham
saying ``3820``, then more of same there. No music, but is this a
rulebreaker, more like a pirate broadcast? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
