** EGYPT. 9440-V, Nov 1 at 2215, dead air at S9/+10 very slightly on the low side correlating with R. Cairo, 9439.995 when measured previously. But now with BFO offset, hear rapid warbling/wobbling of transmitter. Something`s egregious in Egypt, amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GUAM. 15680, Nov 1 at 2222, S9/+10, YL hymn solo in unID language. HFCC shows KSDA in Nij. I believe we have been over that before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ISRAEL [non]. 7570, Nov 1 at 2307, this WRMI relay of WRN block now carries R. Poland for the full hour, no longer ISRAEL at 2330. First, discussion of All Saints/Souls Day celebrations in Poland. At 2330 discussion of populism.

At first hard to pinpoint strange noises, 6935? Brief talk sounds best tuned as above. HFU: ``KIPM Flying Dutchman via Undercover Radio 6933`` https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,120503.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Nov 1 at 2300, token English from SNR is S9+15/30 into Maryland SDR, previewing subject to be interview with visiting American crime novelist S A Cosby [?]. Not interested, and right into that, skipping any news since it`s a holiday - and as everyone knows, nothing ever happens on holidays; or in the case of SNR English, any Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday or Sunday; in English, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 1 at 2254, UTwente is getting nothing but Chinese martial music, S9/+10, no more than +001 Hz, i.e. CNR from EAST TURKISTAN. I`m also monitoring SPAIN elsewhere and did not notice exactly when VOT cut on but there it is at 2303 with news and also within 1 Hz of accuracy. Tho S9+30/40, there is still lite QRM from the understation, i.e. CCCCCCI = Chinese Communist Chinese Language Co-Channel Interference. 2319 `Gripping Piles` on whether procrastination is a disease or just laziness; 2323 multi-lingual ID filler reel; 2325 `Weekly Commentary` by some prof about Palestine vs Israel. 2352 s/off sked claims to have English at 02-03 & 07-08 ``UTC`` to N America, but those are really UT+3 local times! Yet the clueless announcer concludes that the ``23-00``and ``04-05`` broadcasts are pre-recorded! 2353 IS starts playing. 2356 pause and restart IS now with German IDs inserted. Here we go again. 0000 still going with sign-on in German with same news sounder we hear in English, but chopoff at 2400:40 or so, immediately uncovering loud Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28260 CW, Nov 1 at 2211, lotsa 10m beacons but I pick this one: EEE VVV DE KC4QLP/B - ID thrice.

I`m checking this WRMI to reconfirm whether still relaying KBS World Radio via WRN, but this is not that, nor any station with news on hour. Did not get ID but find out later. 0230 recheck, NHK World Radio Japan is starting `Newsline`. In A23 this was on WRN at 0130 UT. Therefore, WRN North America stream has already moved everything an hour later, as if *we* were already off DST, causing needless confusion. And before it at 0200 was Deutsche Welle. KBS hour now starts at 03 instead of 02 - but WRMI WRN relay block remains at 02-03, whatever it may contain. No doubt the same shift apply to any other WRN relay blox on WRN, e.g. Israel had been at 2330 on 7570, now out of it at 0030. WRMI skedgrid shows the following World Radio Network times on SW [more in internet only], never with any content details, and barring any deliberate changes to compensate, all stay at the same UT as before except for the one on 9955. Investigate what`s really in them now, guided by the outdated WRN A23 program sked, adding one real UT hour to it: https://www.encompass.tv/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Encompass_WRN_North_America_A23.pdf 1500-1530 9955 daily exc Sat 0200-0300 5800 Tue-Sat 0900-1000 9455 exc Sun 1100-1200 15770 Mon/Tue/Wed 1600-1700 15770 Mon/Tue 2300-2400 7570 Mon-Fri See also ISRAEL [non] for POLAND (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9475 & 5085, Nov 1 before and after, 22, 23 and 24 UT, still no signals from WTWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15610, Nov 1 at 2221, WEWN English, RCC stuff, with persistent squeal from defective transmitter - modulation cards?
