** PERU [non]. 5980, further checking for R. Chaski, Nov 9 at 2346: there is a carrier mixed with Cuban pulse jamming, adding up to S9/+10, surely too much to be Urubamba, but what? At 2353 modulation starts with the Iranian choral national anthem, and then Qur`an, i.e. the standard sign-on of IRIB, for the Spanish to S America service of La Voz de la República Islámica de Irán, starting at 2350. So even if OBX4M were on until 0000, it would be blown away by this.
Here are the significant entries in EiBi: 5980 1700-2200 TUR Voice of Turkey TU Eu e 5980 1730-2352 PRU R.Chaski Red Integridad S,Q PRU ur 5980 2350-0250 IRN IRIB Voice of I.R.Iran S SAm s 5980 1100-1630 PRU R.Chaski Red Integridad Q PRU ur Notice how the Chaski sign-off seems to be coördinated with the Irán sign-on, more likely coincidental? But even in Perú they could well be aware of when Irán takes over their frequency. So our window for possibly hearing it will be between 2200 and 2345v, not to mention around sunrizzze (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2059 monitoring: confirmed UT Tue Nov 10 at 0100 on WRMI 7780 via UTwente SDR, S9 but only poor and noisy. Virginia, Maine and New York SDRs are not getting it or only traces. At 0127 I try direct and get maybe a JBA carrier, while the other 7 MHz WRMIs, normally loud and clear aimed more thisaway, are also severely degraded, 7570 JBA and 7730 JBA carrier. This is hard to understand from WWV data at 00 and 03: K-index 0 and solar flux a whopping 90! But MUF over FL-OK path is way, way down, as we are into wintrish darkness. Also confirmed UT Tue Nov 10 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9/+10 into TWR Bonaire SDR; following the same Spanish ID twice by Dino at 0329-0330. Next: 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW [new? unconfirmed] 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Thanks this week for financial support from Chris Campbell, OH who along with a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com says: ``I just want you to know how much I appreciate all of your efforts and years of information.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7505, Nov 10 at 0207, no signal from WRNO, suspect really off rather than awful propagation; nor detectable at Bonaire, 0352 check; while at 0207, 5085, WTWW-2 is a poor S9 direct instead of usual blaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 6905.9-RCUSB, Nov 9 at 2356, drumming music, but modulation is very defective and crackly, S6-S7 into Bonaire SDR. Toggling the step-tuning in USB, zero-beat seems about 6905.80 but when tuned to 6905.70 in SAM mode, the carrier offset reads out +230v Hz, which adds up to 6905.93. Nov 10 at 0001, automated timecheck and ROCV 6906 ID. Recheck at 0328, still the same distorted modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 10 from 0134 UT: more signals have a (2) beat than when I usually check later as now more of Europe is still in darkness, even into AfroAsia. 531, 576(2), 639, 693, 711, 738, 747, 774(2), 837(2), 855(2), 882(2), 891*, 909, 936, 999, 1044(2), 1053(2), 1089*, 1098, 1107(2), 1134, 1152(2), 1215, 1305(2), 1413 kHz. *strongests, likely Algeria and UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0508 UT November 10
