** CANADA. 248-MCW kHz, Nov 5 at 0611, ND beacon dash and WG, 1000 watts from Winnipeg MB. In much degraded auroral propagation from the north I was wondering if any Canadian would arrive, and only this one does (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, KOPX-TV OKC, Nov 5 at 1520 UT, checking out the other 6 subchannels besides recently discovered Newsy on 62-7: 62-1, ION 62-2, Bounce 62-3, CourtTV 62-4, Grit 62-5, Defy TV 62-6, TruReal Defy TV? Yet another new ``network`` never heard of before. Per website its flagship shows are ilk of American Pickers, Duck Dynasty, Pawn Stars. Pass! True Real? Ditto: Married at First Sight, Wahlburgers, Escaping Polygamy, Hoarders. Pass2! Is there really a market for all these lobrow reruns on obscure subchannels? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** THAILAND. 11660, Nov 5 at 1457, music marred by heavy Doppler flutter, beyond Cuba and non, strongest signal on band, off by 1500 recheck. VOA Chinese via Udorn scheduled, so could be jammer instead, but only one signal heard. After severe geomag storm, many other JBA signals also have Doppler flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 257-MCW kHz, Nov 5 at 0609 UT, ND beacon JYR, which is 25 watts from York, Nebraska. 293-MCW kHz, Nov 5 at 0610 UT, ND beacon FBY, 25 watts from Fairbury NE. So common I don`t always log it. Not many are making it now in geomag storm, and only one from CANADA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 10000, Nov 5 at 1504, WWV in a special announcement during the minute reserved for such, about something at :48, refers to www.hamsci.org/wwv Before 1700 I`m trying for a good WWV signal via Maryland remote; altho 10000 is S9 with tix clearly audible, the voice announcements come thru JBA, very strange. Before 1704 I switch to direct reception on 10000, and partially copy the announcement by roboyl: Starting Nov 15 there will be tests on WWV on the hour [?? not clear the time!] and WWVH at :48 for HamSci and NIST, consisting of tones, chirps, noise bursts, for several weeks; see website [as above] where we find this: ``WWV/H Scientific Modulation --- Welcome to the WWV/H Scientific Modulation Working Group page! For more information about scientific modulation on WWV, email hamsci@case.edu HamSCI's WWV/H Scientific Modulation Working Group is exploring possibilities for additions to WWV and WWVH's modulation that can be used for science purposes. Current status: a characterization signal has been designed for test broadcasts on WWV and WWVH. View it here: DOI TAPR DCC Presentation, 18 September 2021: WW0WWV has written an excellent report on the TAPR presentation, which you can read here: WWV/WWVH Scientific Modulation Working Group | WWVARC`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2110 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu Nov 4 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 S9+10 and 9455 S9 but 9395 is much louder. Also confirmed final repeat UT Thu Nov 4 at 0140 the 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9/+10 but noisy. From next week all three should be at 0130. BTW, no more logs made UT Nov 4 during severe geomag storming, K-index hitting 8 as Rodney Johnson points out, and Spaceweather says auroras were visible into NM which means also to northern OK.

WOR 2111 confirmed first broadcasts, UT Friday November 5 at 0130 on WRMIs: 7780, S7-S9 into UTwente but at 0144 S9-S5 direct; 5850 VG direct, at 0144 S9+10/20. Also confirmed UT Fri Nov 5 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, but JBA at North and Latin American remotes during degraded propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Nov 5 at 1502 and 1505, no signal from WLCR on WBCQ; another breakdown? Surely would be detectable despite storm; WRMIs with southern advantage are VG. 1648 recheck, now it`s on with a continuous tone test, S9+10 into Maryland SDR; carrier offset only 0.3 to 0.5 Hz. By 1719 resumed abnormal programming about the Earth being covered by a dome, which is in scripture, they say (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 680, Nov 5 at 0613 UT, talk show with echo from two different stations; closest normally is KFEQ St Joseph MO; must be `Red Eye Radio` as also // but not synch on 700, 760, 820, 890. Per NRC AM Log, the only other RER on 680 is 50 kW WPTF Raleigh NC, major night lobe to the south, nullish thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 830, Nov 5 at 0615 UT, WCCO now with `Jim Bohannon` show about 2 seconds ahead of // 720 WGN; after 0500 of course it`s a replay but he keeps uttering phone-in numbers. In Standard Time, live runs will be 0307-0559 UT Tue-Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Oceanic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 5 at 0601 UT: at this hour, I usually start with 846, presumed Kiritimati, and it is there now, but the only other 9-kHz are 621 and 711, surely Canary Islands and Morocco, all lower-latitude paths as higher signals from Europe are blocked by severe geomag storm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1370.47V approx., Nov 5 at 0621 UT, wavering het to 1370.00 pileup. Nothing listed anywhere so far off at mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1725 UT November 5
