** ARGENTINA. 28193 CW, Oct 25 at 2206, VVV DE LU2DT, beacon, same as
logged Sept 30, q.v. Band is full of beacons and phones (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** BONAIRE. 24955 USB, Oct 25 at 2214, PJ4KY calling QRZ Japan, and
causing co-channel pileups. QRZ.com: ``PJ4KY Bonaire flag Bonaire,
Bert Van Oort, All QSL Via M0URX, Kralendijk, Bonaire`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 28170 CW, Oct 25 at 2204, VVV DE VA3XCD/B, slow beacon
marker repeating, same as logged at same time Oct 14, q.v.; and again,
10m band is chock-full of more beacons and phones (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 11529.9, Oct 26 at 0149, JBA signal presumed pirate
Hikari FM. Seldom can I get enough for direct listenability.
6960 AM, also JBA carrier here, since it`s UT Saturday, presumed Ball
Smacker Radio on usual schedule. Stronger than a JBAC on 6925 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27224.8 and 27185.1 approx., Oct 25 at 1454, Enid CB
pirate relaying 105.5 gospel music on K288FX, translator of K-Love,
KYLV 88.9 OKC. Can barely make them out vs all the skip/local QRM
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. Ken Zichi, who also monitors SNR English broadcasts and must
do a lot of post-broadcast online research to get details, identifies
the Lebanon correspondent as: ``Elsa Yazbek Charabati (I guess she got
married!)``.
17855, 17715, 15520, 15390, again on Friday Oct 25 at 2200, REE
continues in Spanish instead of token English, same as happened
Wednesday. Then and now, online program sked still claims it should be
in English today. Despite VG reception on NAm frequency direct, I`m so
pissed I don`t even try to listen for content. What`s going on with
them, blowing away English without notice? I have not paid attn if
they announced email for the English dept., and can`t find it on
website.
Next chance will be Monday Oct 28 at new time of 2300 and frequency
9690, 11940, 12030, 17755. One sked version from REE itself shows
17775, presumably a typo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785+, Oct 25 at *2159.5, JBA carrier cuts on direct from
VOT English, but gone again by 2201 after I check Spain and RMI; and
no come back, another try-but-fail, nothing even unto UTwente at 2227
check; and not on 9875 either, possible overrun from previous
transmission. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. WTWW: ``Glenn, A transmitter operator is scheduled to be at
the transmitter site, the first of the year. He and his wife are
excited to be at the site and operate the transmitters. His presence
will eliminate small problems that have prevented normal operation of
the transmitters. Some of these problems cannot be corrected by remote
control. He has started to move his furniture and personal items in. I
will not have to remember your Friday night program and keep the
transmitter ON. George McClintock 10-25-2024`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 9455, Oct 25 at 0635, WRMI-5 is OFF again despite 24-hour
schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. ``Heard Glenn Hauser's World of Radio on 9855 presumed WRMI
0110 UT. Weak and fadey into Crump, TN 10/1 using a small Sihuadon
R108. Kevin Redding, Crump, TN, ABDX``
I just saw this as gmail sidetrax some msgs - surely you mean 9955, a
WRMI frequency? News to me that WOR would be on at that time, 9 pm EDT
Monday, when their sked shows Alameda Bible Fellowship. Can you
confirm or reconfirm this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 3265+ & 5130-, Oct 25 at 2358, no signals of WBCQ into
Maryland SDR - NH SDR is closed for some contest. 7490 -66 Hz =
7489.934, S9+10/15, FKB gets one-minute warning and quits, Chariots of
Fire theme, IDs, and 0000 Oct 26 `WTO` opening `AAAWWW`; no disclaimer
but immediately obvious it`s a rerun of last week, as Allan says his
gorgeous wife dresses up for the radio, and they survived H. Milton a
week ago.
Larry Will tells me: ``Good signal, s20, from Monticello on 7490 at
0000, with a repeat of last week's show from Florida. Al and family
suffered a great tragedy this week when the potato barn he owns at the
junction of Route 1 and Britton Road burned to the ground on Monday
night.``

Story starts with photo and this caption:
``MONTICELLO, Maine -- October 23, 2024 -- A Monday night fire at an
old potato house in Monticello was a total loss. The blaze started in
this end of the building where an office and Sea of Green Inc, a
medical marijuana caregiver business, was located. The second floor of
the building vanished. (Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli | Houlton Pioneer
Times)``
``1 comment Ronald Ouellette a day ago edited --- Ahhhh as they say,
up in smoke, a little more than Antiques. Growing indoor weed takes a
lot of juice and the electrician was asleep`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 26111.1, Oct 25 at 1450, something very distorted and
weak, seems like a broadcast, not resolvable by FM, AM or SSB tuning.
I was checking for 26110 FM, KMK282, broadcast auxiliary in
California. Have long had carrier about here, presumed local birdie,
But not even that was audible around 2200 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
