** CANADA. 15034 USB, Sept 29 at 1450, CHR Trenton Military is JBA
with ``no report received`` perceived a few times. Is it prop, or
altho on, is it QRP? I don`t have the patience to monitor such a poor
signal for complete several-minute sequences, but random chex since
reactivation have heard nothing but NRRs here nor on 6754 USB at
night. Has anyone, or is this completely pointless? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** FRANCE [and non]. 6100, Sept 29 at 1524 tune-in, `La Boulangère`
MiniTransAt special hour via TDF Issoudun, S9+25 and nothing yet on
alternates 5975, 13735 nor 15300 into UTwente. Weather info in French,
alternating immediately with same in heavily-accented English by same
announcer. La Boulangère means female baker, why?? At 1527 switch to
recitation of rankings in the yacht race so far with distances
traveled. 1534 closing, ``à demain`` and into rock music which I
expect to fill out the hour like last time, a James Bond theme. By
1540 I realize it has gone off but am hearing some weak talk instead.
During the bc there was also slight CCI from this understation, i.e.
CRI in Russian via Kashgar, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom
genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. HFCC shows it`s 100 kW ND,
so not much signal toward Europe, target area rather CIRAFs 30SE, 31SW
and 40E (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7290, Fri Sept 29 at 1815, IRRS SW is S9+5/15 into
UTwente, and nil on second harmonic 14580, in `Shortwave Report`,
recordings of DW and other stations, i.e., the time slot from which
WORLD OF RADIO was canceled months ago. But Dan Roberts is chopped off
halfway thru at 1830 for IRRS SW ID and Feature Story News; 1833 S
Asian song, and plug their alt identity as European Gospel Radio, same
repeated at 1845 after non-gospel music fill, then more of that. 1852
cut to discussion of AI. *1857 ACI starts from 7295 CRI English via
Kashgar. 1858 back to a song. 1859 IRRS s/off 7290, to continue on
1323 kHz. Aoki and EiBi claim the secret 7290 site is Bulgaria. See
also USA [and non] WOR monitoring (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11535.0, Sept 29 at 1458, algo JBA, only signal in
11500-11600 range, presumably Dengê Gel via Uzbekistan? and/or Recep
the Turkiyeish jammer. Listening carefully across 1500 hourtop,
continues with no timesignal, so not CNR1 jammer; and since not
off-frequency, not Sound of Hope either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Sept 29 at 1500, Voice of Martyrs, Korea,
intro in English of Dhivehi -- pronounced DEE-veh-hee, 1501.5 switch
to YL in that language quoting from Proverbs. Only S6/S9 direct but
much better than Asian signals on band generally weak and/or
disturbed, so whence? Australia, Taiwan, or Big Secret? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Sept 29 circa 2030 UT, still dead air in $ tereo
into caradio from KOCD Okeene. Along a busy rush-hour artery street,
also found dead air on 87.9 and 93.1, the latter at least also in
$ tereo; obviously unfed hungry RF feeders in vehicles (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** SWITZERLAND [non]. 15420-15425-15430, Sept 29 at 1601, Claudius
Obrecht`s special hour of his electronic music, as publicized, 100 kW
via Woofferton UK eastward toward target India. After finding Pune and
Bengaluru SDRs blocked due to something (else?) DRM requiring full
resources, I get it via #3 of the four 9K2RA SDRs in Kuwait. First
time I have listened to one of his music specials, and enjoyed till
1659*. He makes frequent announcements in German, sometimes also very
heavily accented English, and sometimes talking over his music. Plugs
his website. No dropouts or QRM. Display shows 10.26 kbps, not sure of
bandwidth but nothing hifi for music, and mono of course. I bet he
made it originally in stereo. Is stereo possible with DRM? If not, why
not: that could be a major selling point, but no doubt if employed
would make it even less robust. ID at 1620: ``This is C. M. Obrecht
Shortwave Radio`` - perhaps he need a catchier title? CMOS Radio?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2210 monitoring: confirmed Friday
September 29 at 2054 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only,
S9+10/13 into nearby Noale SDR, and for a change no CCI, so Smooth
Radio, Brighton, England, UKQOGBANI, may have already closed down
forever. 2059 usual false s/off, 2100 Feature Story News, 2108 start
`The Shortwave Report` again with Dan Roberts, but bound to be chopped
off air in a few more minutes. Yup, -2111.7*, and still nothing else
on open frequency. See also ITALY [non].

No new financial support this week, which might have been sent via MO
or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702.

Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Sept 29 at 0630, S9+48 of dead air again, presumably
WRNO, but why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085: George McClintock confirms WTWW resuming UT Tuesday
October 3 after an hour of PPP, 4 hours 7dpw have been purchased at
01-05 UT by: ``Bishop`` Bob Biermann! That`s `Your Weekend Show` and
`Truth 2 Ponder` guy with lotsa hours already on WRMI: far-Christian
and far-right. He had been engineering at WRMI but I think for some
time he has been living somewhere else, fighting cancer or something.
His voice is still on many recorded WRMI IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR

UNIDENTIFIED [non]. 17790, Sept 29 at 0209, checking 24h after the
gospel huxters in English on `Radio PanAm`, maybe a WRMI test: none of
that now, but there is something weak S5/S8 in Burmese! into Utah SDR.
that`s listed in Aoki as clandestine, Radio NUG, 0200-0230 via
Paochung, TAIWAN. Strangely enough, last night there was no sign of
this to QRM WRMI(?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
