** MEXICO. 739.97 approx., Sept 27 at 0650, Spanish talk mixing with 740.0 KRMG even on my E/W longwire. Normally XEQN, Torreón, Coahuila only makes a LAH against KRMG. It`s been off frequency for ages, but not mentioned as such in the IRCA Mexican Log! mwoffsets has it on the other side, 740.06 as of two years ago.
Tim Hall`s Border Inn NV/UT report of last year: ``739.937 MÉXICO XEQN, Radio Fórmula, Torreón, COAH. 10/29 1158 - Way under KIDR with Radio Fórmula feed including single-verse children's choral version of Mexican anthem, //XEE-590 and XEKAM-950. MWLIST offset data shows XECAQ on 739.95 and XEQN on 740.06, but I believe someone got the two Radio Fórmula stations confused. 1125 miles. Relog.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA [non]. 11936.190-.230, Sept 27 at 1947, rapid chirping upon Riyadh`s Yemen service, bit of talk underneath. UTwente lox on to various frequencies in this range when tuned to 11936.20. S9+20. Waterfall shows 11936 upward to 11960, and very little if tuned to LSB, not even the Sa`udi carrier on 11935. Perhaps they have moved it again? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17715, Friday Sept 27 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG S9+10/20 with some flutter but deteriorating, this SAm frequency while 17855 to NAm is absent. Also on 15520 backwards for ME, S9+10/20; and 15390 for Africa still AWOL. So REE is at 50% capacity. No news today, but into feature interview, something about Artefacto, witnessing changes in crafts at 2218 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, Sept 27 at *2200-2202*, TRT attempts to start up but only dead air in English and soon off, not to return. It was S6/S8 with flutter direct. Why does this keep happening like once a week? Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7268 LSB, Sept 27 at 0505, Hurricane Watch Net is of course active due to Helene, soliciting reports of wind speeds, pressure, welfare traffic. I am monitoring via Georgia remote. 0506 NCS WF4H turns it over to W1ABW. No reply to many prompts and when there is one, usually much weaker to inaudible here. At 0522 someone is QSYing to 7260 for a side contact. What about VANUATU?! A bit early, not audible there yet. 0556 I hear N8NIF. 0655 recheck still going, asking for equipment chex.

I run TDOA from Brasília, Cyprus and Switzerland, which at 1641 leads to: 4.40 N / 18.00 W = off the coast of Guinea: I think not. Re-run from same sites at 1655 leads instead to: -14.00 / -14.40, = further south in Atlantic, not exactly Ascension: I think not. Allegedly Botswana per WRTH. This broadcast is still totally missing from ITU, HFCC, EiBi and Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2262 monitoring: confirmed Friday September 27 at 2042 the 2030 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz, S8/9+5 into UTwente. Increased talk CCI underneath at 2050.

One may also contribute via PayPal, but not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, Sept 27 at 2352 into NH SDR: 3265 & 5130 OFF; 7490 -67 Hz with FKB S9+10/20; 6160 -70 Hz not sure what but `Amazing Grace` into Netanyahu`s UN speech, S9/+10. 0000 Sept 28, `AAAWWW` on 7490- only, WTO theme, talkover starts with ``we have to fight for free speech``, and single interjexion toward end, ``weasel``. Appears to be a new one. He says Angela does not look happy. They go right on to blast Democrats for everything that`s wrong, fascism ``up`` in Maine, so they must be in Deland of Fla tonight. At 0009 he says they are on both 7490, and 5130 -- NOT. Electric costs at WBCQ are $ 8000 a month. I`d rather listen to Pres. Harris` live speech from Douglas AZ. By 0050 recheck there is ACI from 7495 at least into NH. That would be VOA R Ashna via Lampertheim at 0030-0100 only. At 0059.5 Allan is interrupted for canned Allan ID and joining Hal Turner just about on time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 660, Sept 27 at 0652 UT, C&W music in English, S9+35, 0654 ID for KTNN Window Rock AZ, KTNN Tohatchi NM and KKNS Corrales. So 660 is still on 50 kW ND day pattern, also being reported even further east such as by Kevin Redding, Crump TN. Once again it far outshines neighbor 650 WSM. Tohatchi is a ``suburb`` of Window Rock across the border, but Corrales is a suburb of Albuquerque, 1310 KKNS. KTNN on 101.5 is only 2.25 kW. It should include an -FM suffix but not so in the WTFDA FM DB. The question is whether it`s always // 660 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0231 UT September 28 _ 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/
