** COLOMBIA. 4940, Sept 13 at 0021, JBA direct anonymous missionary
station; from 0117 via Bonaire KiwiSDR: S9 and with typical AMSynch
carrier offset minus 3.2 to 3.5 Hz, usual long-winded gospel huxter in
Spanish citing Isaiah 11, 12. 0120 prayer and cut to produced promo
for ``la película La Montaña, gratis`` via internet, usual URL which
dispenses with ñ for just plain n; song; 0135 same promo again; 0320
recheck weakened to S5-S7, preacher in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-USB, Sept 13 at 0024, pirate rock music S5-S6;
I`m mostly monitoring on the backup PL-880 with reelout while
bandscanning on the JRC, and DJ keeps interjecting brief comments the
starts of which I miss until retuned on main rx. 0028 says the tune is
one he has not heard before. 0034 refers to music from years 1974 &
1975; 0045 another break with Morse code; 0047 sudden CW mixing with
music, partially copied as WDOG. 0048 weaker with voice ID? 0052 wild
SFX; 0100 SynthYL ID over music sounds like ``Radio Station E-X-P``. Many other logs of WDOG, but none with CW IDs, nor EXP as I heard:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Area tropo levels 1-2 and barely 3 over
northern OK per Hepburn maps predicted for 1500 UT September 13, so
UHF/VHF bandscan via my still-broken antenna from 1507 finds the
following situation, by RF channels only: OKC channels no good due to DX QRM: 33, 29, 27, 23, 18, 15, 13, 7
BAD DX signals only, not decoding: 36, 35, 32, 30, 26, 21, 11, 10, 9
DX decodes: Tulsa mkt 34, 28, 22, 20; Wichita tho beyond map area: 31
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2051 monitoring: confirmed Sat Sept
12 at 1932 UT on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, VG S9+10 at the
KiwiSDR nearby in Warrenton, about 2 minutes into, so started circa
nominal 1930. Also confirmed Sat Sept 12 at 2323 the 2300 on WRMI 7780, poor S8-9
here. Also confirmed via Warrenton SDR, UT Sun Sept 13 at 0322 on WA0RCR,
1860-AM, about 3 minutes into so started circa 0319. But ending at
0347.6. Altho originally 29.0 minutes long, timing is skewed by
removal of most of my opening due to music banned from ham, but WA0RCR
IDs inserted every dekaminute. Next: 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW
0130 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE
0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800-NEW to SSE

(Glenn Hauser, OK WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Sept 13 at 0019, WTWW-2 with TONITO already
underway but undermodulated, distorted despite usual very strong
signal, so unlistenable. Not near computer so not switching to $ tereo
webfeed; probably a rerun anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 9840, Sun Sept 13 at 1357, JBA carrier so I
measure to determine if it`s still off-frequency-minus VOV scheduled
until 1530? No, 9840.004, finished measuring just in time when bigsig
from WHRI cuts on with no ID. The JBA one was probably Turkey
scheduled here before and after 1400; per Aoki/NDXC, WHRI weekends
only, supposed to be on Sundays from 1200 until off at 1400, while
Saturdays extended until 1600; not so (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1360, UT Sun Sept 13 at 0620 I`m trying for WNJC DX test on
the second night, by tuning to 1361.0-USB in case I can detect some of
the non-vocal SFX, and maybe I get a bit: 0623.7 JBA sweep tones
briefly; 0631.7 continuous tone; 0658 one ``V`` in Morse as known to
introduce the CW IDs; was it cut off? Do these match exact timings as
heard by others or logged by station? FCC AM Query shows day pattern with one major lobe centered at 155
degrees --- not good for most of us. https://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/MB/Databases/AM_DA_patterns/503852-69972.pdf
As Harold Frodge points out, here`s another version of their daytime
coverage map supposedly in force during second night test, mostly
going SSE out into the ocean:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9-kHz, JBA MW carrier search, Sept 13 at 0607 with
presumed likely sources this late: 936-Morocco, 846-Kiritimati,
684-Spain, 711-Morocco, 621-Canaries, 1107-Spain. BTW, it`s neat to be
getting at same time on MW both Xmas Island and Agadir, Morocco, which
are this far apart: 15051 km = 9352 statute miles = 8127 nautical
miles.. The direct GC path between them passes over California, Salt
Lake, Lake Superior, Newfoundland (Glenn Hauser, OK WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6999.9-LSB, Sept 13 at 0022, QSO in Spanish escaping the
40m band, one nicknamed Tigre; uses ham lingo like `QSL` meaning I
copied you, not a card; cumpleaños greeting (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1936 UT September 13
