** COLOMBIA? 4940, Sept 30 at 0312, anonymous mystery missionary
station is on again, S8-S9+ via Bonaire SDR, signature carrier offset
-5v Hz, with `Lecciones de la Historia`, one of their regular shows
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA, 5081, Sept 29 at 2344, spurblob with F# tone, out of RHC
English 5040, and WTWW-2 is not on 5085 yet. Original simulcast on
7380 for Africa is still absent as has been for many weeks.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185-, Sept 29 at 2337, no signal from XEPPM, which is
normally running by 2300 and earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7570, Sept 29 at 2336, WRMI with non-TOMBS gospel huxter. I
was wondering what the new program `Challenge`` is about this hour,
and now we know (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. During Drumpf`s disastrous ``debate`` debacle with VP Biden,
Sept 30 at 0142 UT, I make a quick scan of major MW signals and find
quite a few of them carrying it, never synchronized with a TV channel
I am comparing it to, but with some notable exceptions besides music,
or sports-format outlets which could not be expected to cover this
game. IDs are assumed from usual dominators:

580 WIBW, 680 KFEQ, 690 KGGF, 700 WLW, 740 KRMG, 750 WSB, 760 WJR, 770
KKOB/WABC?, 780 WBBM, 820 WBAP, 840 WHAS, 850 KOA, 870 WWL, 890 WLS,
1000 KTOK, 1040 WHO, 1080 KRLD, 1110 KFAB, 1120 KMOX, 1160 KSL, 1170
KFAQ, 1200 WOAI, 1480 KQAM.

NOT carrying it: 650 WSM music, 670 WSCR sports, 810 WHB, 860 KKOW

in Cleveland, 1500 KSTP sports, 1520 KOKC talk, 1530 WCKY, 1640 KZLS
talk.

Oddities: 900 heard both in English and Spanish, apparently running
translation -- XEW?? Not enough signal to tell, auroral? 720 WGN, 830
WCCO, 1510 WLAC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
