** CANADA [non]. 11990, Pop Shop Radio via Woofferton, 0300 UT Sept
10, QSL card in pmail received Sept 21, with enclosures: schedule, two
logo stickers, Maple Leaf cutout bearing a bear and ``Hope BC``; round
fabric Maple Leaf patch as on flag. Very nicely done (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 7390, Sept 23 at 0458-0500* direct, jazz until cutoff with
no announcement; whatsit? EiBi: AWR in French to N Africa via Nauen at
0430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Sept 23 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
S9+30/40 direct, also on 17715 and 15520, never on 15390. News leads
with UN SG calling for change in its struxure; no time to listen more
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9875.003+, Sunday Sept 22 at 2040, I`m QRX for
VOT `Letterbox` now instead of waiting until a sesquihour later on
11785, which may or may not be on air, and conflicting with a lot of
other programming I want to get. This transmission is 500 kW at 105
degrees for India, SE Asia, Australia, NZ, but plenty backward signal
into UTwente, S9+15/25 atop some CCI which would be North Korea,
should be avoided. At 2045 ends sports, ``always-by-your-side`` promo
and `Weekly Analysis` by John ``Adja`` sounds like, a foreign policy
researcher, about pagers as weapons. 2050 music. 2057
``with-you-every-hour`` promo and `Letterbox`: Halil  is ``not that
well, voice not much good``, he apologizes but sounds OK to me. 1)
Siddartha ---, India, reception report from a regular. 2) USA, John
Fryberg? Jr., New Hampshire. Now at 2050 the CCI relents, as VOK stops
aiming at ME, but resumes at 2100 toward FE, much weaker. 3) Roman
Steiner, Germany; or Norman? 4) Roberto Brizzo? or Guizzo?, Italy. 5)
Mr. Markey?, India. 6) André/Anatoly Klepov, Moskva, another regular
QSL seeker. 7) Carlo Giordani, Italy. By 2106, time`s up, ``Goodbye,
my lovely dear listeners, goodbye``. 2107 music and I tune out (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.005, Sunday Sept 22 at 2159, VOT not off
air but S9+50/55 into UTwente, 2200 ~correct timesig and open English,
but I don`t need to keep listening since I got `Letterbox` a
sesquihour earlier on 9875, q.v. However, I check UTwente again for
s/off, but it`s still going at 2259, 2300 timesig, and German, which
continues the entire hour! as not scheduled, with the same program
themes we hear in English, such as at 2334 for ``Warum?`` At 2356 IS
still playing with Portuguese! IDs, but cutoff 2359* before another
extraneous language. EiBi shows PP at 00-01 and SS at 01-02 are
supposed to be on 9870. Just as well, because at *0000 Chinese on
11785.000 as the ChiCom achieve better frequency accuracy, much weaker
than TRT had been. EiBi shows CRI Mandarin at 00-13 via site x. There
are several sites x+ but a single x means: ``x-Xian-Xianyang "594"
(Shaanxi) 34N12-108E54`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Sept 23 at 2159, nosig from VOT English direct, but
*2200.3 cuts on JBA carrier with Doppler flutter, bad prop? Yet Spain
q.v. is inbooming on 17855 et al. By 2203 recheck, 11785 is off, so
another occasion trying to come up on 11785 but failing. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. UNIDENTIFIED, at first: 9475, Sept 23 at 2208, zero signal
from this WTWW direct, but 9930 is on. However, as I tune across the 9
MHz band at 2209-2219, I encounter numerous extremely distorted
spurblobs, cadence of modulation is talk but totally unreadable, quite
broad and shifty so no exact frequencies pinnable. Circa: 9416, 9546,
9676, 9682, 9692, 9802, 9828, 9918, 9943, 10059. I compare these on
second radio to the only bigsigs on band at this time, 9930 WTWW, 9350
& 9980 WWCR, and there is NO match. So I suspect it`s the 9475
transmitter haywire again. At 2302, all clear, no 9475 nor spurs
direct. Not paying close attn but at 2332* noise surge as 9475 carrier
has been on but off again. By Sept 24 at *0011.5, 9475 on for half a
minute; *0013 on again with open carrier, soon turning up mod of PPPP
and stays on. At 0018, bandscan without any of those spurs while 9475
remains clean. Oops, 9475 cuts off again suddenly at 0024*. Cuts back
on at *0028.7 JIP PPPP again. 0058 usual QSY announcement to 5085,
which comes on about *0059. Stays on past 0150 more or less OK but
some clunking sounds (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395, Monday Sept 23 at 2303, WRMI VG direct with `On the
Media` soliciting SW reception reports and even audios about SWLing,
2305 into regular opening of show which is about disappearing and
endangered weekly alt newspapers such as The Riverfront Times, St.
Louis which was recently sold to who knows what and everyone fired!
`OTM` has several times on the WRMI skedgrid, but not this one!
Supposedly at 2300 Mon it`s `Viva Miami`, i.e. expendable, at 2315
`Midnight Cry Ministry` and at 2330 `Alameda Bible Fellow` which are
surely paid for. Not rechecked until 2340 when in fact it`s a
ponderous preacher, I think ABF, certainly not OTM, so it did not get
played for a full hour! System G sked shows OTM Mondays 2100 and UT
Tuesdays 0200 on 9395. OTM originates at WNYC: let`s hope it survive
the major cutbacks there. I haven`t got into the habit of listening to
it on WRMI, but really should if there`s a reliable complete hour for
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1470, Sept 23 at 0506 UT, ``1470 and 100.3, WMBD`` ID
immediately upon tuneacross: Peoria IL, U4 5/5 kW. Somewhat surprising
as NRC Pattern book shows very tight lobes a bit CCW from N/S day and
night; but radio-locator shows only slightly favoring N/S and not
notched thisaway. Website has no ``about us`` or station history; have
wondered what call could signify: maybe, ``We Might Be DX``. Here`s a
history,
https://fromthehistoryroom.wordpress.com/tag/1470-wmbd/
but not about the callsign; however, can it be coincidental that one
early announcer was Milton BudD?! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13790, Sept 23 at 2205, S9/+10 of dead air with Doppler
flutter, maybe mix with trace of mod? EiBi shows CNR1 jammer and Sound
of Hope starting at 2130; also listed is Ifrikya FM, Ouargla site,
ALGERIA, at 1900-0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
