** BRAZIL. 6180, Sept 27 at 0032, R. Nacional ID after some Brazo-rap;
S9+30 peaks but distorted. // 11780 is even more distorted and weaker
at S6-S9. Double loss, and neither in crystal-clear DRM, ha2. Far more
than 5 kW as listed in WRTH. Near on-frequency now, but Ivo had found
it on 6173.5v:

``BRASIL Radio Nacional da Amazonia on very odd frequency 6173.5v
September 25
from 1400 on 6173.5vBRA 250 kW / 344 deg to BRA Portuguese and
drifting down.
Very distorted audio and without carrier via SDR Brasilia in Brasil -
Parallel
at same time 11780.0 BRA 250 kW / 360 deg to BRA Portuguese, good
signal/audio`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. Re: ``371-MCW, Sept 18 at 0619, JBA NDB dash and GW i.e.:
``371 GW CAN QC KUUJJUARAPIK 2000 55 17 5 -77 45 5`` - dxinfocentre.
A new one on me; wow, what a name! I wonder if the French Canadians
find it any more daunting than the English?`` and my stab at
pronouncing the place in WOR 2053:

Glenn, try 'koo jew wack" for something close. 73 Joe ``kay ber lynn``
Caberlin, Ont. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 2749-USB, Sept 27 at 0040 UT, marine weather by synthyl in
English, JBA. DXinfocenter.com shows starting at 0040 is VCO, 500
watts from Sydney NS; nothing audible on 2598-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 5080, Sept 27 at 0018, distorted spurblob out of 5040 RHC
transmitter, this time abutting 5085 WTWW, and not a defect of the
latter as I first thought; since 5080 was also heard last time when
5085 was off. No program audio to compare, but tell-tale F# tone above
middle C especially when tuned in FM mode; and also at other 40-kHz
intervals from 5040, but far weaker than 5080: 5120, the rest JBA:
5160, 5200, 4960, 4920; surely 5000 too but blocked by WWV.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR0

** CUBA. 11670, Sept 27 at 0034, RHC S9 but extremely suptorted.
11760 is somewhat distorted but not suppressed in baseball talk vs
Japan. 11800 weak S6-S7 suptorted; plus/minus 10 spurs JBA carriers.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960, UT Sun Sept 27 at 0028, check for weekly
Mighty KBC broadcast to us via GERMANY beyond: terrible, only a JBA
het of two very weak signals. K=3 and not recovered from G1 storm:

``Solar-terrestrial indices for 26 September follow.
Solar flux 73 and estimated planetary A-index 26.
The estimated planetary K-index at 0000 UTC on 27 September was 3.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor.
Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level occurred.`` --- WWV

Of course it`s the CCI that KBC and MBR have chosen to live with, the
always-off-frequency-minus PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land
of brainwashing Uyghurs. 0043 recheck, now they add up to S3-S5 with
trace of rock music from one of them. UTwente checked at 0107: same
LAH where both signals are stronger but about equal adding up to S9,
unusable there and here. AMSynch locks onto 5959.93075 for Wulumuchi,
which means about 69 Hz apart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2053 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
Sept 26: ``Yes, at 1300 UT on 15770 kHz. Signal started out strong but
got noisy after some minutes and stayed that way part way into
Shortwave Radiogram and then returned to the initial good level.
Short-lived propagation anomaly? -- Richard Langley``

** U S A. 9395, UT Sun Sept 27 at 0005, WRMI in French but very
strange heavy accent; subject seems to be Afrique. Soon 0006 break for
YL ID in English, ``This is Radio for Peace International``, and right
back into French (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, Sept 27 at 0025, SMTV via WRMI, yet again with
double-audio feed! This time about equal audio levels and about 12
seconds apart. M&W are alternating as they start an alfabetical
listing of animal rights status in countries: Australia, Austria,
Bahamas, Bahrain... That should take a while, but unlistenable. How
does this happen? Is it at WRMI plugging two separate webfeeds into
one transmitter? Or is it upline, SMTV somehow sending it out that
way? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Sept 27 at 0020, theater organ show is starting
on WTWW-2, and Bob Heil never names it at the start; S9+30/50 huge
signal but undermodulated, tsk2. Says two guest thorganists will be
playing this week. Wrapping up around 0050 he does call it `Theater
Organ Under the Arch`, no longer In the Ozarx (Glenn Hauser, OK,WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7707-USB, Sept 27 at 0011, weak 2-way in Spanish.
7403.5-USB, Sept 27 at 0013, more weak 2-way in Spanish (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
