** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, Oct 17 at 0638, HK3QQ, BOGOTA with QWETY+
keyboard letters slowly with pauses. Looks like becoming regular
again, 24 hours? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2265)

** TURKEY [and non]. Re VOT on 11785.014- at 2233 Oct 16: ``Glenn, the
"higher offset than usual" you 'measured' using UTwente yesterday, Oct
16, was caused by a malfunction for their AMSync-Function. They were 4
Hz +.

This function is derived at UTwente by using the German Mainflingen
timesignal DCF77 on 77.5 kHz. However this was off for one hour during
late European afternoon from 1315 to 1415 UT, when they returned, they
had some further two breaks in transmission. See attached pic from a
snippet out of yesterdays' UTwente fulltime-waterfall-display. I
noticed this non function of AMSync mode a couple of time these last
years, with AMSync sometimes 100 to 200 Hz away from carrier. It
usually takes a couple of hours for AMSync to be syncronized with
DCF77 again. BTW, Kiwi's use GPS data for AMSync - it is called SAM on
the Kiwis.

See, you logged SW Gold Radio on the 16th as well, with 4 Hz above
frequency {6160.004+ at 1813). Listened yesterday to WOF on 6145.004
at around 1915 UT and thought what`s wrong there. WOF is always "on
spot". As I said in a post before - UTwente is not the 'Gold Standard'
- antenna wise, high noise floor levels and often heavy interference
on certain parts of the band. Cheers from Bremerhaven, Lesley
Illingworth``

So need to check calibration of UTwente against WWV if audible, and
also of KiwiSDRs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2264 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday October 17 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S5/S7 into Brasília SDR vs
storm noise.

Also confirmed Thursday October 17 at 1630 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.001-, S9+5/15 into UTwente. This time I compare its calibration
to JBA WWVs: 19999999.8 and 24999999.5 - close enough! But later at
1657: 24999998.57/.55v, 19999999.64/.76v

** U S A. WTWW: ``Glenn, Bob forgot to remove my spot about Peters
airtime on 9475. Thanks for the reminder. The 9475 transmitter driver
inductor was cleaned and returned the transmitter to normal operation
at 7 pm Central. We shall see what happens today at 7 pm. There is
always some problem with transmitters. George McClintock 10-17-2024``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11530.01 approx., Oct 17 at 0636, JBA carrier direct on
the plus side, so maybe not Hikari FM which has always been on the
minus side, 11529.9. Probably Dengê Gel or Turkish jammer (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
