** CANADA. 28170 CW, Oct 14 at 2204, 10m beacon band really hopping,
also phone, too many to attempt logging much. Here is VVV DE VA3XCD/B
CAMDEN -- not bad for one sesquiwatt per WGB list: ``28170 VA3XCD/B -
Camden East ON CAN FN14nj - #0 (13 Oct 2024) Note: VVV de ID + Camden
East + grid - pwr 1.5w`` - see USA for a couple more (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 800, Oct 14 at 0621, still distorted music QRMing
KQCV OKC, from XEERG NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Oct 14 at 0303, anti-Christ pirate, Station
YHWH, S9 but undermodulated and needs LSB tuning to avoid utehash on
upperside (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Ont 14 at 2159, S9+30/40 direct, and stronger as
it should be than 17715 & 15520, token English from REE, 2200 preview
to be interview about a theatre which won a yearly National Award,
located in the Lavapiés [? wash-your-feet] neighborhood. No time to
listen further (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9875.004+, Sunday October 13 at 2047, VOT English starting
`Letterbox`, S9+15/25 into UTwente. I`m getting this early in case the
2200 on 11785 be AWOL, and even if not, conflicting with otherstuff I
want to get then. At first there is some CCI on 9875, presumably Korea
North but stops about 2050. That supposedly resumes at 2100 but not
noted then. Halil starts by saying we are entering spring - he means
fall as he is in the northern hemisphere, it`s getting colder, and his
name means Yellow Rock. 1) Otto Schultz, jokes as if nickname for
Ottoman, small handwriting of 7/26 report from somewhere in USA, also
listens to German service but can barely hear it, also several
reception reports in same letter. 2) at 2055, Miss May ???, Sichuan,
China. 3) at 2057, Dick/Richard King in England, hopes TRT will not
stop SW. Now there is rapid clicking QRM, OTHR? 4) at 2100,
handwritten from Shanyang Kan?, China, 2 reports, wants 2 QSLs. 5) at
2103, another one from same. 6) at 2104, Ricky Hein, South Dakota,
says he has no internet, no computer, got 11785 with 15111 SINPO!
wants program guide and QSL. 2107, out of time, goodbye and music not
program theme as I tune out.

11785, Oct 13 at 2200, weak signal pops on, visible at UTwente, but
soon gone, so another try-but-fail to North America. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler.

7275, Oct 14 at 0258, IS & IDs in English, INTRUDER, S9+30/40 direct
but with LSB QRhaM. Presumably this final repeat succeeds.

11785.007-, Oct 14 at 2158, VOT IS & English ID, S9+30 direct; 2202
olds; 2215 music; 2217 `The Energy Agenda` starting with tolls one
year on, in Gaza and Lebanon, before getting into ME oil. 2231 into
UTwente when measured, S9+25. Recheck 2245 music. 2254 s/off as if
17620 at 1230 - something`s always awry at Ankara. Do all those
announcers have no idea the 1230 recording is repeated over and over?
2255 IS, 2256 restart IS with one German ID before 2256.6* chop.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28204 CW, Oct 14 at 2205, AJ4YN/B, among many beacons
audible now in big opening. WGB list: ``28204 AJ4YN/B - Chesapeake VA
USA FM16uo - #0 (03 Oct 2024) Note: VVV - Pwr 5w (Ex 28285.5)``. See
CANADA for another.

28250 CW, Oct 14 at 2206, KI6MTV/B, beacon not in WGB list, but
QRZ.com: ``KI6MTV USA flag USA, Michael R Hislop, PO BOX 121, SHINGLE
SPRINGS, CA 95682, USA - Hey, if you hear my beacon, (28.250 mhz) send
me a message. I would like to hear from you.  Don't forget to tell me
the location where you heard the beacon. Thanks, Mike`` - well, I
can`t send a msg since QRZ.com restricts email info to ham members
only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2264 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
October 13 at 2000 on WRN Europe stream..

Also confirmed Sunday October 13 at 2157 the 2130 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.003-, S9 into UTwente.

Not confirmed Sunday Oct 13 at 2330 on WRMI 7570 as that transmitter
is still off the air following H. Milton.

Confirmed UT Monday October 14 at 0041 the 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+8
into Georgia SDR, S9+15/20 into Maryland SDR. It`s aimed WSW, so I
look for the KiwiSDR at McAllen TX but it`s missing. Besides TWR
Brownsville, which has always been poor, there is now one, NA5C
designated `Rio Grande Valley` but really at Encino TX, which is in
the middle of S Texas, about midway between McAllen and Alice to the
north, and midway between Zapata on the west, and the Gulf coast.

Confirmed UT Monday October 14 at 0301 on Area 51 via WBCQ, 6159.937,
S9+10 direct but VP vs noise level. 0327 into NH SDR, S9+10/20 on
6159.930 with RTTY 6164 ACI.

Confirmed Monday October 14 at 1958 the 1930 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.003-, S9+8 into UTwente; 6160 unchecked. Next:

0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];
2000 UT Tuesday IRRS 1323-Italy;
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

** U S A. 9475, Oct 14 at 2330, this WTWW is still off air; the other
transmitter dedicated to TOMBS is on 9930 now, and already around 1530
check. However, by 0214 UT Oct 15, 5085, the nighttime counterpart of
9475, is on the air as well as 5920 counterpart of 9930. A while ago,
George was announcing that 9475 would be running Pastor Pete Peters at
3-5 pm CT daily = 20-22 UT, but if so, one would expect it to stay on
with something until QSY time at 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660, Oct 14 at 0311 UT, song with lyrix I can`t comprehend,
so in Diné/Navaho? soon ID as ``KTNN, Window Rock - Tohatchi -
Shanto``. Must again be cheating on ND 50 kW day pattern, but kudos
for the frequent shameless IDs. The third town alternates among
various places in or near the Res. Then a regular C&W tune. This time
some CCI in English, probably TX or NE not NY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 770, Oct 14 at 0620 UT, `Red Eye Radio`, surely KKOB; NRC AM
Log shows only one other RER on 770 but a daytimer + FM in AL. KKOB`s
FM is not a translator on 96.3, originally the domain of classical
KHFM, where I worked while at UNM 1965-1968.  I also recorded there a
weekly Hometown news summary for AFRTS. What a comedown to farright
hatetalk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1152.1 kHz, Oct 14 at 0316 UT, carrier/het again. Anyone
else hearing this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

THE TINY TRAP

Europa is a ``tiny moon`` about mission to find water, maybe life, Oct
14 at 1810 UT on MSNBC, report by Tom Costello. Yet it may contain
twice as much water as Earth -- tiny?!?
