It`s R. Farda, American clandestine for Iran, listed as Biblis site, a USAGM one often askew. No break at real hourtop, since Iran imagines it`s hourbottom (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Oct 13 after 2200, token English from SNR, VG into Bonaire SDR, and just as good on 15520 for ME; After news, 2208-2211 report from Beirut, Lebanon correspondent summarizing what we already know about the Hamas/Israel war. 2212 interview prof from DePaul University, Chicago about the situation, criticizing Spain`s government for not denouncing Hamas, unlike other western nations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 13 after 2200, VOT English not off the air; in fact VG signal S9+40/45 into UTwente and VG modulation for a change. 2216-2220 `Review of the Turkish Press`, also about Topic A; music; later, `Weekly Analysis` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U A E. 15310.118, Oct 13 at 1503, JBA carrier direct, way off-frequency, first estimated at 15310.13, then displayed by UTwente as above; calibration of that checked vs WWV 20000 reads only 1 Hz high. At UTwente can hear it`s Arabic. EiBi shows BBC this semihour only, the token revival for Sudan after cancelling all Arabic earlier.

QRZ.com: N7MA USA flag USA MARK T AVAKIAN, 24443 E DOYLE RD, CATALDO, ID 83810, USA ``My 10 Meter Propogation Beacon at Rose Lake transmits on 28.2165 MHz at 5 watts. It's pretty much always on with a couple of deep cycle batteries for power. The transmitter is an old Realistic HTX-100. The antenna is an A-99 vertical. The keyer is an ID-O-Matic by N0XAS. The receiver in the HTX-100 smoked, literally, years ago but the transmitter just keeps on going. I have a small fan in back of the radio to keep things a little cool. For me part of the fun of having the beacon is playing with antennas. So far it's had a loop, dipole, and verticals 8', 17', 31' and 120' long. Bill, WJ5O is sort of the USA Beacon Guru. His website has everything you've ever wanted to know about beacons and then some. http://www.qsl.net/wj5o/ I really like knowing if the beacon is getting out and to where, so please drop me a email or QSL if you happen to hear it`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28230.8, Oct 13 at 1835, EEEEEEE NG7I/B --- WI5V roster: 28.2308 NG7I C RITZVILLE, WASHINGTON 2 WATTS, VERTICAL new start date 6 Dec 2021 -- QRZ.com: NG7I USA flag USA PATRICK C PADGETT, 704 S Washington St., Ritzville, WA 99169 USA ``NG7I/B beacon is at 28.230.8 Mc running an IC-706 w/Picokeyer at 5w to a Hy-Gain Penetrator 500 at 20'.

Incredibly this is way off-frequency. In fact, local check finds WBCQ OFF, nothing else audible here. But UTw: 1527 Korean announcement. EiBi shows clandestine CMI V of Wilderness, via Tashkent. WRTH shows religious, by Cornerstone Ministries. Off at 1529* and still no WBCQ. When both be on, must be quite a collision in Europe if not Korea (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0101 UT October 14
