** GERMANY. 9670, Nov 28 at 0215, Texas R Shortwave via Channel 292,
special T-giving show for NAm east, insuff direct, but S9+10/20 into
Georgia SDR with hard rock; 0223 TRSW ID and address, turkey-gobbling
SFX, and more of same rest of hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 540, Nov 28 circa 0640, pop songs and frequently ``Los
Cuarenta`` = 40, alluding to ``Top 40``? Mostly in Spanish but some in
English. Constant rippling SAH. It`s XEWA San Luís Potosí SLP. IRCA
says sporadically active, probably nowhere near 150/150 kW licensed
power. MWoffsets show it on 539.9732 as of 2024-02-04, i.e. 26.8 Hz
low. CBK as 0.1 Hz high. Later in night English talk, probably CBK.
The other 540 XEWA, lower powered in Monterrey is apparently long gone

** U S A. 9955, Nov 28 at at 0713, JBA carrier S3/S4, presumably WRMI,
while 9395 WRMI with SMTV is blasting in at S9+20/25. So something`s
very odd at Okeechobee. 9455 still silent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 23250 et al., replies to the WITK PA harmonix; Hugh Whelan:
``Hello all, Thank you Glenn and everyone for the helpful information
regarding the probable harmonic at 4650. To be clear, I am in West
Pittston (visiting wife's family for Thanksgiving), not at my home in
Fort Myers. This location is directly across the Susquehanna River
from Pittston. I brought my Airspy HF+ Discovery with me and put out a
60' long wire into a 9:1 Neolec balun. For what it's worth I also sent
an email to Wilkins with two recordings, but got an out of office
email saying the person was out for the week. Best, Hugh``
Arthur Pozner replies: ``This Kiwi SDR must be very close to the
transmitter. Most likely between 2 to 3 km distance. Night power is
listed as 500 W, but it is equally as bad. The assigned fundamental
(1550 kHz) frequency is S9+60. The strongest is the 3rd harmonic on
4650 kHz and S9+40. Practically all odd harmonics are pretty strong
and some are highly distorted. The even harmonics are very low (after
dark). Just wondering if the Kiwi and Airspy are both overloaded to a
point of passing fairly high level RF as it is so evident``
Rodney Johnson replies: ``Greetings From Minnesota! Either the carrier
exciter is overdriven to the point of putting out square waves, where
odd harmonics are stronger than even ones is typical, just look a
Fourier series of it:
https://mathworld.wolfram.com/FourierSeriesSquareWave.html
or the receiver front-end is severely overloaded, clipping the
incoming carrier in a square like fashion. Since an exciter running
like this would likely melt or start a fire, it is more likely the
latter. 73s --Rodney`` (via Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2271)
UNIDENTIFIED. 660, Nov 28 at 0730 UT, ``ESPN Radio`` ID dominating.
One might guess sports format WFAN NYC but NRC AM Log does not have it
with ESPN; rather only these two on 660: WDYZ Altamonte Springs FL, U4
3500/1000, and WBHR Sauk Rapids MN U4 10000/500 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 830, Nov 28 at 0737 UT, dead air, surely WCCO, but rock
steady at S9+37. Can`t imagine any local source for this. Some talk
audio JBA underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2271)
