** ALGERIA. 17600, Oct 27 at 1456, S6/S7 song, 1458 French ID for
Ifrikya FM - this remains a major TDA frequency in B24. Excessive
registrations at
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbyfmo.php?seas=B24&fmor=TDA
show Béchar site on 17600, 13640, 9500, 11620; Ouargla on 13790, 9700,
6040, 15160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Oct 27 at 0302, S9+10/20, OPOB, with
novelty jingles, name I can`t be sure of: ``Radio Dallas``? ``Radio
Damnung``? ``Radio Denmark``? ``got to go``, with reverbs, yells past
0307. Then I check HFU: unIDs more than 2 hours earlier, SSTVs of a
baby; only one log around my time; was the ID word Jammer?:

``S9+10 with the Traverse City, MI KiwiSDR. 0300 UTC-Radio Jammer AI
generated song`` from Lucas Bandura, BC, who hasn`t posted to the WOR
iog for quite a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Oct 27 at 0309, presumed Station YHWH, JBA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, still not on air yet, but getting closer, new LP
station in Enid to block KICT and KQCV, not to mention 95.3 KOKC, but
Benn Kobb sends latest info on callsign: ``KOKJ-LP granted callsign
for Enid station.``

** PORTUGAL. 21449 USB, Oct 27 at 1451, CR6T calling QRZ and making
quick contest contacts, barely inside the ``15`` mb. Such a call
implies Portuguese colonies but now this is merely Portugal, QRZ.com:
``CR6T Portugal flag Portugal, RUI SANTOS (TONY), QTA DO VALE -
SILVEIRINHO, PENACOVA 3360, Portugal``. His CQ zone is 14, i.e.
western Europe.

[non] Meanwhile the adjacent 13 m SWBC band is absolutely empty tho
lotsa Eurosigs could obviously propagate if energized. Axually 21449
is in the *13*, not 14, not 15 m band, the boundary between 13 and 14
about 21321 kHz. At 1451, HFCC B24 shows all these could/should be on
air with somethings: 21470, 21485, 21490, 21540, 21560, 21575, 21600,
21615, 21630, 21690, 21800, 21840. Imaginary stuff (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ROMANIA. 9545, Oct 27 at 0312, classical music VG S9+30/40, Spanish
announcement from RRI; and also slightly weaker on 9740. As in HFCC
B24, from Galbeni and Tsiganeshti; but also listing 7205 & 11800
resp.; are they on too or still on reduced usage? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125 S9+35/45 // weaker 7285, Oct 27 at 0417 music on B24
English frequencies of VOT now in effect, no more at 0300 on 7275 >
6165 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 375 MCW kHz, Oct 27 at 0702, NDB DS is JBA, enough better
than last night to be sure of ID, from Searcy AR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2266 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday October 27 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, S8/9+5 into Bonaire, not VG
but no jamming audible.

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 27 at 0339 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+15 into Georgia SDR, about 10 minutes into so started circa 0329.

** U S A. 4840, UT Sun Oct 27 at 0315, WWCR again with `Australian DX
Report`, Bob Padula. It`s different than previous ones, but still
OBVIOUSLY OVER FOUR YEARS OLD, from mid-2000. Prop report: IPS Sydney
says 10.7 cm flux is about 70; SS number 5; two SS regions in view and
another one soon; very low; HF prop above 10 MHz after dark
unreliable.

Then his routine logs, 2030/2100 UT on the 31 and 49m bands. I copy
them all for amusement and historical record but will not foist them
all upon you again; they include 9420 Voice of Greece, lots of CRI and
CNR1, who cares even then? Also a partial Reach Beyond Australia
schedule. 0325 a bit of music, then once again notifies that HFCC for
Bulgaria in August has been canceled due to COVID-19, will be online
only. And gives partial ``B-20`` -- there, he said it, sked for
International Radio for Disaster Relief [which AFAIK, has NEVER been
activated despite plenty of disasters]. ``I hope you found this
interesting and helpful`` -- NO, WORSE THAN NO! Way to go, disservice
WWCR. BTW they carried WORLD OF RADIO for many years, which was full
of accurate timely info every week, but how should they know? They
gave it up but keep this?!?! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150, Oct 27 at 1453, S9 Yahweh stuff: WMLK have finally
come to their senses or consulted Propagation 101, that higher
frequencies are best for day paths, lower for night. Until B24, 15150
toward Europe was running late in the night and 9275 in the daytime,
local afternoons. But now the HFCC sked is: 12-17 15150, 1730-2230 NEW
17525, 2300-0400 9275, all 300 kW at 53 degrees daily except
7=Sabbathday. So they are allowing one semi-hour to accomplish
frequency changes? Off 15150 by 1700. At 1735, NEW 17524.999 is on,
S9/+15 into UTwente with amateur hymnody; preacher thru 1800 with no
ID. 1829 DEJOM himself outroes, ID. But they can`t make his ghost say
``17525``? AI not? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 15490, Oct 27 at 1455, S Asian song S8/S9. HFCC B24 shows
VR in Tamil at 1450-1510, between Hindi & Malayalam, 250 kW at 89
degrees, another example of SMG putting far too much signals in wrong
direxions -- antenna azimuths messed up or simply insufficiently
screened backwards? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** YEMEN [non]. 11934.894+, Oct 27 at 1930, S9+25 into UTwente, ME
music and Arabic talk from Rep. of Yemen R., via SAUDI ARABIA, remains
very reliably offset like this, and with no chirping for a long time.
Riyadh abstains from HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
