** CANADA. 6030, Sept 29 at 0644, comedy in English at S6/S8 tnx to NO Cuban jamming, CFVP Calgary. Tnx also to Ian, as Cubans would leave jamming on all night even when Martí is off after 0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9565, Sept 29 at 0114, pulse jamming continues against nothing after OCB is over, despite ``total blackout`` of power in Cuba. Don`t you believe it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. From 60 to 22m band, Sept 29 at 0122, all known SW frequencies of RHC, Progreso and Rebelde are OFF due to blackout, but which however has not silenced all the jammers, nor all the MW stations per DXer reports. All SW RHC and RR still silent at 0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [non]. 9490.058V, Sept 29 at 0115, R. República with VG unjammed signal via RMI via defective ISS FRANCE transmitter never on-frequency, and wavering slightly, difficultizing measurement; with seemingly current Hurricane Ian news. 0117 ID and announcing schedule in Yanqui-imposed EDT: 9-10 pm Mon-Wed; 9-11 pm Thu-Sat; 9-12 mn Sun. And ALSO on 5800 which is/was really WRMI, I was unaware of: M/W/F 11 pm-mn. Current WRMI skedgrid shows System B in bluegreen, otherwise mostly into 9955, as Radio República on 5800 at 11 pm-mn but on Wed/Thu/Fri. Beware! That could draw jamming to a previously free frequency not only during those three hours but anywhen affecting other programs! As yet unconfirmed, as WRMI itself is totally off the air. DOW variations too confusing for the jammers, often left running after RR is off. Now the same sked info converted to real UT days and times: 9490: 01-02 UT Tue-Thu; 01-03 UT Fri-Sun; 01-04 UT Mon. 5800: 03-04 UT Thu-Sat, or Tue/Thu/Sat? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 9735-9740-9745, Sept 29 at 0625, DRM noise at S9+10 not noticed before. EiBi shows MiniTransAt Sailing at 06-07 from Issoudun for N Atlantic, but not marked as DRM. It is N = DRM in HFCC for dates 19 July to 30 Sept only, so about to expire, 100 kW at 320 degrees thisaway for all these CIRAF zones: 04,05,09,17,18,27,36,80. This would be bad news for Tsiganeshti, RRI in Arabic if it really run past 0630, unrechecked, which I at first thought might be the DRM, on early. Some of these TransAt DRMs were really only half an hour. By now I`m listening direct, off computer so can`t try to decode the DRM marine weather info remotely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Thu Sept 29 at 0656, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati, back on after another silent Wed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 29 at 0633, S7/S9 of dead air direct from VON. 7254.933, Sept 29 at 1730, S7/9+10 of dead air into Canary SDR. Something always absolutely abject at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU. 5025, Sept 29 at 0058, JBA signal, S5 = noise level, presumably R. Quillabamba, tnx to absence of Rebelde, which even before Ian was sporadic. From 0100 marred by uteblaaps at the regular rate of 24 times per minute (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA. 9996, Sept 29 at 0627, binary clicking JBA, just far enough from WWV to avoid QRM. No doubt RWM timesignals from Taldom/Moskva which at certain other times does ID in CW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15520, Sept 29 at 1500, for at least the fifth day in a row, nothing but dead air from REE to the Mideast! S6/S9 direct. Isn`t there a meter on the transmitter showing modulation, or not?? Even if not listening to it. Could the ops at Noblejas be both aurally and visually impaired; or just mentally (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6993, Sept 29 at 0637, still JBA carrier, presumed WH2XWF propagation research, not all or any? of their low-power Florida sites blown off air yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2157 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT Thursday Sept 29 at 0030 on WRMI 5010 which is off the air. Earlier in the day, Jeff had hoped to keep that one going. NOT confirmed either, UT Thu at 0130 on WRMI 9395, which has been off the air for some time. Shortly WRMI would be totally silent, so WOR may be hard to hear for an unknown period. The UT Friday 0130 first airings on 5850 & 7730 had already been canceled last week, and no response to our request to restore them; UT Fri at 0330 on 7780 would be next, but unlikely to be funxional again already. No longer facing at 0130 Friday deadline, WOR 2158 may not be ready until somewhat later. I anyway post the nominal sked including WRMI in case some of them can resume in the following week. Even if SW off, with studio power the 9955 webcasts may appear, assuming there is studio power to accept our uploads. Confirmed connexion tested at 1903 UT Sept 29. Otherwise, our listeners via WRMI are well-advised to seek another station or listen off the web: WORLD OF RADIO 2158 as EXPECTED: (mp3 stream) https://www.w4uvh.net/wor2158.m3u (mp3 download) https://www.w4uvh.net/wor2158.mp3 Or via http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html Also linx to podcast services.

Tnx this week to Dan in Cincinnati. Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Sept 29 at 0030, the only WRMI frequencies still on air are 9955 with gospel huxter, 7730 with Slovakia in English, 5950 with UFO show, which appears to be a live feed per his comments. By 0120, 9955 is off. Shortly WRMI would go off completely, power outage besides as yet unknown antenna damage. All are off at 0630. We must check wrmiradio on FB for the latest, or this direct from Jeff: ``Dear Colleagues and Clients: Last night Hurricane Ian passed through central Florida. Winds were extremely high, and they caused extensive damage in our antenna field. The winds are still very strong as I write this (1330 UTC Thursday), and we have not been able to assess the extent of the damage yet. Electrical power went out at 0200 UTC Thursday and is still out. The power company, Florida Power and Light, cannot begin to work on power restoration until the winds go down to about 35 miles per hour, and that may not be until later today or tomorrow. So we are off the air, except for our Internet stream, until further notice. Thanks for all of your messages and phone calls. We'll keep you updated. Jeff`` - I wonder if flooding also be a threat around WRMI as elsewhere like inland Orlando; how far above Lake level is it, and how close to the shore? Sept 29 at 1440 check, all OFF: 9395, 9455, 9955, 15770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555 USB, Sept 29 at 1501, WJHR unusually audible S6, piano music joined by hymnsinger. Must be some HF Es boost. Not even a reduced carrier, so hard to pinpoint reference frequency, but Rodney Johnson, MN, put it at 15554.88, Sept 18 at 1405, power as only 1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7890, 7932, 8620, Sept 29 at 0630, still no signals from RV. We should have let their off-frequencies and harmonics be instead of bringing them to attention of station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9992 USB, Sept 29 at 0628, 2-way in language unseems Spanish; stronger station has ``engine noise``, first noticed aside 9996 RWM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 1914 September 29 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
