Hauser
** CANADA. 362 MCW kHz, Oct 17 at 0611 UT, dash and SB, 500 watt ND
beacon at Greater Sudbury, Ont.

346 MCW kHz, Oct 17 at 0714 UT, dash and YXL, 500 watt NDB at Sioux
Lookout, Ont. Tough copy but must be this regular (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, Oct 17 at 2150, R. Cairo is on, YL talking English?
but distorted, S9+20 direct --- but 2152 drops to dead air.
Something`s amiss at Abis and/or cutoff at Cairo (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** GUAM. 15320, Oct 17 at 2158, open carrier with some hum, S7/9+10
direct; 2200 AWR theme, s/on in English mentions language on 15320 but
can`t copy it. Then heard ``Suara`` so Indonesian-related?

Aoki says ``Nga``, abbr. for what? EiBi says ``NJ`` to INS =
Indonesia, and his readme says ``NJ Ngaju Dayak: Indonesia-Borneo
(0.9m)[nij]``; WRTH UD under USA:AWR just calls it Dayak (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6200.00, Oct 17 at 0645, S7/S8 open carrier, presumably
Hikari FM, pirate still testing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7300.09 approx., Oct 17 at 0640, JBA S7/S9 talk
probably sermon from the hamish pirate heard before only on UT Sundays
but this is Tuesday. Nothing from another one now on 7320 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785+, Oct 17 at 2200, VOT on the air, VG S9+20/30 direct
in English, some distortion during music. 2218 ``always-by-your-side``
promo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKQOGBANI. 15245, Oct 17 at 1327, no signal yet from Woofferton,
rather just barely audible carrier off-frequency, no doubt VOKorea.
This is for the one-hour special from 1330 marking the 80th
anniversary of Woofferton. 17785 eastward is on already with Encompass
IS. Back to 15245 at 1330, now it`s on aimed USward with no het or
other QRM, SINPO 45444 or S9/+20, so I listen mainly to it but 17785
is almost as good with a bit more fading. This on the NRD-545 with
100-ft E/W longwire; but heard the last few minutes sufficiently on
DX-398 portable with telescopic antenna only.

After sign/on, at 1331-1348, monolog by Dave Porter with great detail
about all the different transmitters the WOF site has used over the
years, concluding with RIZ from Croatia capable of DRM. 1348 asking
for reports to radio@encompass.tv for special eQSL and chance to win
something in a drawing. Then we hear voices of a number of other
current or former engineers and other staff; including at 1352 G8XYJ.
1358 the first YL voice, office manager; interspersed with more QSL
requests. 1402 Lilliburlero. At 1412 starts playing IS/IDs of: VOA
signing off with Yankee Doodle Dandy, London Calling, Bow Bells, RCI,
NHK, DW, RFE/RL Praha, B-B-C- chime notes, RNW. The same sequence
repeats over and over and over again until cut off the air at 1430
during NHK with no further announcements. Quite nice nostalgia, and
congrats to WOF. The WORLD OF RADIO iogroup was also flooded with
reports on this. It would have been nice if defunct sites, Rampisham,
Skelton had received similar treatment on their anniversaries (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 365 MCW kHz, Oct 17 at 0704 UT, ND beacon SYZ, new one for
me, 25 watts at Shelbyville IL. Same frequency where recently heard
AA, Fargo/Harwood ND, but dxinfocentre.com places it in Minnesota
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2212 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT
Tuesday October 17 at 0030 on WRMI 9395; rather rock music from before
0030 continues; Legends? I asked Jeff White about this and the
off-and-on appearance of WOR UT Mondays at 0030 on 7780. He says these
are subject to pre-emption for specials and should both be on next week.

Confirmed UT Tuesday October 17 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+12 into
Louisiana SDR starting with that 14-second uteblast override.

Also confirmed Tuesday October 17 at 1326 the 1300 on WRMI 9955, S8/S9
direct. 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 #2211]
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

No new contributions to acknowledge this week, in US funds but not
necessarily, via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com

Or MO, check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 17 at 0652,
obvious het direct from 711 kHz when tuned to 710, likely this as in
mwlist: ``AOE SNRT Al Idaâ Al Amazighia El Aaiún 24h Laâyoune=El Aaiún
300 kW languages: Tamazight (Berber), Tachelhit, Rifain, ar // 936``
--- AOE as country means Spanish West Africa - hardly anymore, rather
WESTERN SAHARA but occupied by MOROCCO imperialism, their station. At
this late hour, far more likely than lower-powereds further into Africa,
Europe, ME (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2325 UT October 17
