** BOLIVIA. 5952.469+, Oct 2 at 0100, has to be Radio Pio Doce on its
signature split, S9/S8 carrier but can`t make out any modulation.
First noted as big het upon 5950 WRMI, both via UTwente. Meshes with
this on the WOR iog a few hours before: ``Lucio Otavio Bobrowiec - Hi
all, On 5952 since 2158, that het which must be R. Pio XII but nothing
audible until 2248, 01/10. Was some weeks silent. 73 Lucio
Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15600, Oct 1 at 2219, music and talk eventually recognized
as Spanish: CRI to S America direct from Beijing site, 500 kW at 318
degrees, i.e. heading NW across Siberia, Europe, Atlantic, a long way,
but both short and long paths are extensive. SE over the Pacific would
avoid auroral zone absorption. Antipodes of Beijing is near Bahía
Blanca, Argentina. Rapid RTTY on the plus side, evitable by LSB tuning
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Too much! Oct 2 at 0131+ I find four pirates at once
on The band: 6923 USB, 6930 USB, 6955 USB and 6960 USB. I stay on the
first one for a while:

6923 USB, Oct 2 at 0131, pirate song S4/5/7 on peaks, also 0136. 0150
``Addams Family``, seems to be Hallowe`en theme. Gives us a break,
until the end of Oct? 0156 ``They`re Coming to Take Me Away``. These
suggest it`s Sycko Radio without any explicit ID copied:

6930 USB, Oct 2 at 0132, pirate music at S4/S6. Per these, WWWW:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,102599.0.html

6955 USB, Oct 2 at 0133, rock music, -something- Radio ID, S3/S6. Too
many of these are too `produced` rather than pronounced clearly with
no background/mixing, etc. Three pages say Radio Free Whatever:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,102588.0.html

6960 USB, Oct 2 at 0135, rock, S4/S6. These say Lucky 13 Radio:

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Oct 1 at 2035 UT, SW, ND beacon at
StillWater. Last time heard was June 8 in daily chex, day and/or
night. Has had protracted absences before. No telling whether back to
stay now for a while. Classaxe says 50 watts, dxinfocentre says 25.
It`s JBA, much weaker than used to be, so maybe even less now (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5 AM, Oct 1 at 2038, Enid CB pirate again relaying
95.7 KXLS, very strong but now with big het from a spoiler carrier
equally strong on 27185.8. Pick one or the other by LSB/USB tuning.
Note: a number of other random times checked, this has not been on
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Oct 1 at 2048, after 6 days of dead air, REE finally
manages to modulate, just in time for a stupid ballgame; // stronger
17855 direct, Something`s no longer nonsensical at Noblejas (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWITZERLAND. 18142 USB, Oct 1 at 2045, HB9TWY contact with a VA3.
At first I thought he said HP9TWY as in Panamá, accent not Spanish,
but we know a lot of expats are radicated there; then mentions local
time at UT+2. QRZ.com with a few landscape, antenna photos:

HB9TWY Switzerland flag Switzerland

** TURKEY. 9830.003, Oct 1 at 2216, VOT English, S9+15 direct but very
undermodulated. 2235 S9+5/15 also into UTwente, undermodulated. Stays
on with 2300 timesignal and opening German, and still on at end of
German 2351 with song, now S9+55, when max volume on SDR plus locally
are not too much to overload. Chopped off air at 2352.8* depriving us
of another extra hour in Brazilian, shux. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15730, Sat Oct 1 at 2049, VOA Grimesland in Hausa, S9+20;
also on 15185 with English lesson, S9+35. I wondered whether remnants
of Ian would blow any VOA or OCB off, but did not get them checked
during max winds there. Obviously OK now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2158 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
October 1 at 1929, right on time, at WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO,
S9+15 into nearby Warrenton KiwiSDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 2 at 0322 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM again,
S9+18 same but noisy, about 11 minutes into so started circa 0311.

Note that the next chance when WRMI hopes to be back on air would not
be until UT Tuesday 0030 on 9395. Otherwise, scheduled, next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy

** U S A. The latest from Jeff White: Sent: Saturday, October 1, 2022,
10:25:14 PM GMT+1

Friends, Colleagues and Clients: Our frequency of 5950 kHz has just
come back on the air at 2100 UT Saturday. We will keep this frequency
on the air 24 hours per day until we get more transmitters on the air.
It has been a slow process of repairing the transmission lines in the
muddy swampland. We do not expect to have any other frequencies on the
air until Monday. Probably the first ones to go back on the air Monday
will be 9395 and 9455 kHz if all goes well. Then we will gradually
bring all of the others back as the transmission lines are repaired.
Our Internet stream has continued to operate during and after the
storm, mostly with 9955 kHz programming. Thanks for your patience and
understanding, and we will keep you updated.

** U S A. 5950, Oct 2 at 0100, Texas R Shortwave on the only WRMI
frequency restarted yet. I`m trying it on the UTwente SDR where it`s
amazingly strong, S9/+10, for an azimuth of 355, about 50 degrees away
from head-on to Europe. Wonder if askew or really on same antenna as
before the storm. Also with het from 5952+ which has to be BOLIVIA,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.93, Oct 2 at 0033, WBCQ with rock music show, `Cruisin`
the Decades`, S9/+10 into Georgia SDR. NOT on the website program
schedule, rather `AAAWWW`, which I was going to check shortly for the
part I missed last night as Allan was calling out to me. Par for the
course with never-up-to-date sked. If it can be believed, next chance
for `AAAWWW` should be Monday after 2200. This `Cruisin`` is nowhere
on the quadrifrequency sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
