** CANADA. 335-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0620 UT, my shortened and lowered
unrepaired longwire still manages to inpull dash and YLD, which is
1000 watt ND beacon from Chapleau, Ontario.

Also 413-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0624, dash and YHD, 250 watts in Dryden,
Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also USA

** CUBA. 18135-USB, Oct 30 at 2014, CO8LY repeating his call
fonetikaly, lima-yanqui --- ooooh! over and over; at least I think it
was the caller rather than the callee; and the only phone station on
band, OPSOB.

``CO8LY Cuba flag Cuba, Eduardo Somoano Cremati, P.O. Box 104,
Santiago de Cuba 90100, Cuba`` per QRZ.com but his QSL manager is in
Spain, and he`s trying to raise real US$ money to pay for awards he
has earned (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 17570, Oct 30 at 2016, VP S9-S6 talk in unknown
language, 2028 open carrier, 2030* off. HFCC shows it`s AWR in Mos
language, 250 kW at 295 degrees favorably USward. WRTH shows it is
Mossi, where else, under UK page 496; EiBi readme.txt does not include
either spelling in exhaustive language list! Wikipedia says it`s the
same as Moore + various spellings, which is; almost 8 mega speak it in
Burkina Faso and five nearby countries. And they are on the road to SD
Adventism (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4970-USB, Oct 31 at 0153, JBA pirate S3 into
Rochester NY SDR, eerie music and narration, I guess a Hallowe`en
story as pre-publicized by MARE to start at 0030 for some two hours
from Radio Nova; did not get an ID for sure; fading down after 0203.

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Oct 30 circa 1455 UT, still no signal except weak
unmodulated carrier from classical KUCO, Edmond/OKC. Shortly restored
my internet access, I can find why on http://www.kucofm.com

``KUCO EMERGENCY STATEMENT 10/30/20 UPDATE

Listener supporters and friends, KUCO 90.1 continues to be off in
central Oklahoma, the outage including our internet stream. It’s a
fiber optic cable problem and we await restoration from Cox. It’s how
we send our signal STL back to the tower from our new location in
downtown OKC. The fiber optic is our only option at this time.

Cox Business Ice Storm Outage Update

The Cox Business commercial technical support team is presently
working to restore operations to affected areas of the ice storm. They
are responding to critical medical and public safety restoration
priorities and then additional commercial service impacts. Service
outages are primarily due to power outages and ice damage. For power
related outages, Cox follows the local energy provider in its recovery
as it enters damaged areas once the energy company as declared it safe
of power hazards.

We are currently offering our overnight WCPE service via 91.9 KBCW in
McAlester and 95.9 KCSC in Woodward. We will keep you posted. Hosts
stand ready to go back on the air immediately and we will have our
weekend programming running for all three listening areas as well.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 332-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0621, ND beacon IC, 400
watts from Wichita - Picnic, Kansas [both with IC in them!], which I
had not heard in weeks and feared off the air. Even now it`s JBA under
dash and QT, 1000 watts from Thunder Bay, Ontario, which had been the
only 332 to be heard among many (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11720, Fri Oct 30 at 2050, big carrier already from VOA
Grimesland, 2059 sign-on, 2100 news by caster working remotely but
including an AP axuality; 2105 `Music Time in Africa`, as I
commemorate our renewed B-season bigsig access to it weekly off the
back from `Greenville`. It`s my napping hour, so despite the lively
music I doze in and out. Hyper Heather Maxwell spends too much time
chatting with musicians rather than just playing their music; and also
disrespects music by talking over it; source countries include
Mozambique, Rhodesia, Angola. Also plays old stuff from previous
hostess Rita Rochelle. Mid break mentions MTIA airtimes lacking this
one; and HHM`s outro as usual ignores it too, just: ``Live`` Saturday
and Sunday 1505 and 2005; also on SW Friday 0905, S&S 0905, 1505, 2005
and ``2205-hundred``. 2200 cut to Yankee Doodle sign-off but carrier
stays on a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (6160v), UT Sat Oct 31, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`. Starts
taking about following the live Youtubecast last Saturday morning of
the SAQ Alexanderson Alternator from Sweden, which I also reported
about. 0012 says on 7490 and 6160 tonight. 0030 about how in early
broadcasting, carbon mikes were hooked directly into transmitters, or
something like that; rest of show mostly politix about YKW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6905.93-RCUSB, Oct 31 at 0342, ROCV only a trace to the
ear and thinnest of lines on the TWR Bonaire SDR waterfall. Leonardo
Santiago in Venezuela meanwhile sends me this info:

``Hi Glenn, On the 29th of October I was listening to this new
Venezuelan radio station here in Mérida on 6.906 kHz about 21.30 to
22.15 UTC. They were broadcasting tropical music at most and airing
some IDs and contact information from time to time.

You can e-mail them to: rocv6906(at)gmail(dot)com

They also announced a couple of phone numbers which I guess work to
contact them via WhatsApp. I have recorded one of the IDs, so when I
listen to that I will send you both numbers for you and those who want
to contact ROCV via WhatsApp/phone as well.

I have also contacted Mr. Gregorio “Kina” who is in charge of ROCV
facilities and asked him if they will verify reception reports with
QSL cards. He just replied by saying “send your report to our gmail
account for confirmation”, so I still don’t know what kind of
confirmation he has referred to if QSL card, eQSL or kind of simple
e-mail verification. 73s, Leonardo Santiago, Mérida, Venezuela.``

[later:] ``Hi Glenn. As promised, here you have full contact
information for Radio Onda Corta Venezuela, ROCV, as announced by
themselves on their broadcasts:

You can e-mail them to: rocv6906(at)gmail(dot)com
Phone numbers: +58-424-8528414 and +58-416-3215947

I have just e-mail them my reception report this morning, so I will
inform any news as they reply. Best regards, Leonardo Santiago,
Mérida, Venezuela`` --- Tnx, Leonardo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
