** FRANCE. 6000-6005-6010, Nov 24 at 0813, DRM noise S9+20. Nothing listed in Aoki, EiBi, nor drmrx, but yes in HFCC: 6005 0800 0900 17,18,27,80 ISS 100 350 0 146 1234567 291023 300324 N 8500 Fra F TDF TDF 4089 DRM TES -- 350 is a very strange azimuth from ISS; the CIRAF targets convert to France, UKQOGBANI, Ireland, Iceland, Scandinavia including Svalbard and the uninhabited central North Atlantic south of Iceland. See also UNID 7555 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ITALY [non]. 7290.003, Fri Nov 24 at 1853, JBV signal into UTwente, locking onto exciter? *1857 pop up to full power open carrier on same offset, 1859 IRRS/NEXUS/IBA s/on interrupts a few extraneous words first and then JIP news, probably FSN. Before 1900, heavy ACI from 7285 China. Lunchtime for me. Recheck at 1944, 7290 is off! already with heavy ACI from 7295 China in English. By 1957, CRI English on both 7285 & 7295 vs no 7290. Aoki & EiBi both say IRRS site is BULGARIA, considered confidential if not top secret by IRRS ``Milano``. But both Aoki & EiBi still show wrong summer time of 1800-1900 UT instead of 1900-2000 now. Aoki even still shows WOR at 1815-1845 Friday, canceled many months ago, but I was going to check what occupy that shifted slot now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Nov 24 at 2320 UT, ND beacon SW in StillWater is JB readable as the local line noise has finally abated considerably but still occasional bursts: audiblized are numerous birdies on LW, nevertheless a good sign, rather than any DX beacons, yet. OG&E never contacted me after latest complaint, so unknown whether they really did anything (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Nov 24 at 2300, token English from SNR, 2305 after news, two interviews about molestation of children by the Catholic church in Spain; a survey of 8000 adults found that 1% said they had been. Even that is too much. A lot more of them were boys than girls. VG S9+30 direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 21485, Nov 24 at 1524, R. Tamazuj via FRANCE is in English! But heavy Afro accents, M&W hardly copiable but think they mention elexions; and in and out of another language, presumably Juba Arabic. 1529 past 1532 in Horn-of-Africish music, S5/S8. It`s the OSOB except for the other Issoudun on 21690. Tamazuj has been known to include English segments but not shown in EiBi; 21485 absent from Aoki; HFCC shows only Apd language at 1430-1600, 250 kW, 135 degrees from ISS. WRTH 2023 mentions no English either; but the name means intermingling or mixing; that could be anathema to some faxions (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Nov 24 at 2314, VOT not off the air with multi-lingual ID filler reel, S9+10/20 direct; 2323 outro for `Weekly Commentary` - or was it `Weekly Analysis` -- what`s the difference, something about Gaza; and with-you-every-hour promo. Then via UTwente at 2348, S9+30/35 music. 2353 s/off, ``You have been listening ---`` and chopped off the air! Too early is no compensation for too late; but sked would have been wrong anyway. Uncovers the 6CI, std denunciation. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler, awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2218 monitoring: confirmed Friday November 24 at 2148 the 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9/+8 into UTwente across Europe and no QRM; not bad for 858 km = 533 miles, 5 or 1 kW per mwlist, or maybe already the F.Pl. of 15? Also confirmed Friday November 24 at 2300 the first SW BC, on WRMI 9955, JBA on the DX-398, but at 2315, S9/+10 into R75, undermodulated with pulse jamming. Next: 0130 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW 1630 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE 2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 0100 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?] 0330vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0600] 1130 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [also webcast, phonecast; jammed by Cuba?] 2100 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to SW 0400vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW 1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?] 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB 1030 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB [previous #2217] 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW or 5130v? 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW Thanks to Joe Caberlin, Port Colborne, Ontario for some US$ , preferably by MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O 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 [and non]. 9955, Nov 24 at 0747, WRMI-3 is S7 but just barely modulated = JBM, during music presumably during TOMBS = The Overcomer Ministry Brother Scare, also lite pulse jamming by the relentless, clueless Cuban Commies. 9955, Nov 24 at 1521, WRMI is S8/S9, not off the air like it was yesterday when WOR might have aired; Friday means Blalock the Blaster, again very undermodulated: no one more deserving of that! But is this transmitter about to die? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130.3, Nov 24 at 2313. WBCQ poorly audible direct with music so unseems ATATT = all-T****-all-the-time; and yes, 7490 is AWOL again so main programming probably transferred. Yes: at 0032 Nov 25 the `FKB` gospel huxter is on 5130+, tho normally preceding `AAAWWW` on 7490 which is still off. Maryland SDR with correxion factor puts it on 5130.414 at 0048. At 0100 announcer reveals the following AAAWWW ``was originally broadcast on Friday September 29, 2023`` --- WRONG! Content does not match with my notes for the UT Sat Sept 30 program - sounds familiar but obviously after the Oct 7 Hamas attack on Israel; and Angela is obviously in the same studio, not remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7550-7555-7560, Nov 24 at 0809, DRM noise S9. Nothing at all, DRM or AM, in Aoki & EiBi. HFCC has BULGARIA, wrong mode, wrong time: 1700-2359, 250 kW AM at 110 degrees. Does Spaceline even have DRM capability? HFCC by FMO inexplicably does never specify N = DRM or D = NOT DRM: https://new.hfcc.org/data/schedbyfmo.php?seas=B23&fmor=SPC This lists ``for new organization`` unspecified in 37 of the 48 entries, mostly wooden. Only others specified are 9 for Overcomer, probably not all active; and 2 for Allan H Weiner = unactivated addons really for wacko World`s Last Chance on 13850, 13840. Master HFCC B23 sked does show SPC with DRM on 5875, 15515. No 7555 entry here either: https://www.drmrx.org/drm-broadcasts-shortwave-by-frequency/ I would not be surprised if it be another ISS test like logged a few minutes later on 6005; see FRANCE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0125 UT November 25 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
