** CHINA [non?]. 17855, Sept 19 at 0600, surprised to hear some Chinese JBA on frequency left tuned after Spain at 2200. Not accounted for in Aoki, but EiBi shows RFA via Tinian, and CNR1/Firedrake jamming this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Sept 19 at 1500 UT on caradio, again dead air with stereo icon, presumed KOCD. Recheck at 1703 on DX-398 with telescopic antenna only and at ground level, now enough signal for RDS icon and to display: KOCD-FM_ static! So now it`s 100% certain that all this DA has been from the Okeene station which supposedly went off the air last January. At this time RDS worx, but not enough signal for $ tereo icon (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Sept 19 at 2200, VOT English is only S7/S9 with noise, fading, even unto UTwente where normally can hit S9+50. About the worst I`ve ever heard it there. So a good excuse not to attempt any detailed logging today. I really need to break away from such a habit: better ways to spend a few hours per week. WWV reported at 2100: ``Solar-terrestrial indices for 19 September follow. Solar flux 166 and estimated planetary A-index 52. The estimated planetary K-index at 2100 UTC on 19 September was 3.67. Space weather for the past 24 hours has been strong. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G3 level occurred. Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2208 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: Confirming World of Radio #2208, notes, loggings, WRMI: 5850, 0130, 0141, 0159 (45443), 0159, Sep 16 UTC 2023 [Sat] 9395, S8, signal, 0030, 0044, 0059 (45343), September 19 UTC [Tue](Lemke, Richard -AB) 73’s, Richard, September 19, 2023, 9:13 AM`` Confirmed UT Tuesday Sept 19 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into Missouri SDR; usual intervention by fragment of Jeff`s ``The World is in Turmoil...`` ad between ID and WOR. Still not confirmed, rather music fill, Tuesday Sept 19 after 1300 on WRMI 9955, supposedly planned for ``later in Sept`` -- so maybe 26th? Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB 1030 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB [previous #2207] 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 9955 to SSE [NEW on sked; to be confirmed] 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1400 UT Thursday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba? to be confirmed] No new contributions this week which might have been sent via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130 kHz, Sept 19 at 1635 UT, no signal on caradio from KLEY Wellington KS; despite high storm and line noise level, should be audible as usual daytimes. At 1655 I get a JBA carrier on the R75; on the DX 398 I can`t get a DF fix. Could be image, or: how about running ``one watt`` night power in day rather than 250 watt day power at night? So KLEY seems totally off the air, and not merely dead air as often. Meanwhile sibling KKLE Winfield KS 1550 is quite audible with bluegrass, altho always weaker than KLEY when it`s normal, and DF for NNE/SSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2315 UT September 19
