Hauser
** CANADA. 28197 CW, Sept 20 at 2204, DE VE7MTY/B and 4 step-down
power dashes; and on 28174, VVV DE VE1VDM/B, and series of dits/E`s,
so 10m beacons from coast to coast. Also several phones higher up from
South America; see CHILE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHILE. 28450 USB, Sept 20 at 2211, CE3KEY calling CQ DX after
working a Canadian. QRZ.com: ``CE3KEY Chile flag Chile, Leonardo (Leo)
Bonilla, Santiago, Chile`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Sept 20 at 0637, S9+45 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde, hohum; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 800, Sept 20 at 0620, KQCV OKC with just a bit of distorted
QRM, along with several others like CKLW, PJB. McAllen SDR check at
1558 daytime: still extreme distorted talk on 800, and matching
cadence on non-distorted 690. BTW, Mauno Ritola points out that while
the ``quick & easy`` version of mwlist does not specify Mexican
states, the full database does (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1460, Sept 20 at 0628, ``Grupo Fórmula`` mentioned as I
tune across. IRCA Mexican log shows only two active on 1460, and one
ORF: XEYC 1/1 kW Ciudad Juárez, Chih. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 20 at 1510, JBA signal from ex-Hikari
FM pirate. Also Sept 21 at 0020, JBA carrier vs S7/8 noise level on
about 11514.92 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 200 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
direct and also on 17715, 15520 but still no 15390. Preview interview
topic to be about paralympix (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 15550.015+, Sept 20 at 1508, Arabish S8/S9
direct and slightly off-frequency plus. Check UTwente just in time
before 1527* readout 15 Hz high as above, it`s R. Tamazuj from site
MADAGASCAR but at 1445-1600, not -1527* per HFCC, EiBi and Aoki. EiBi
shows sibling service R. Dabanga for Darfur follows on 15550 from 1600
via Vatican, and 1700-1730 via France (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Sept 20 at 2159 tune-in, S9+20/30 direct, VOT
English is already signing-on instead of IS, and starting olds: their
clock must be fast. Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2215 in music.
2228 into UTwente when measured, music at S9+35/40. 2230 `Turkish Folk
Tales`, ``The Nightingale``. 2234 TRTVOTVorld.com promo. 2235 music.
2240 `That`s Why` repeat, Archaeological Adventure in Anatolia: the
Hittites. 2246 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music. 2251 headlines,
2252 s/off and IS until 2253.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 17745.009+, Fri Sept 20 at 1511, S5/S7 direct of
19-second announcement with music, looping with pauses, restarting
every 36 seconds: ``BBC --- This is the BBC; there are no programmmes
on this channel at present. Details of all our services are at
bbcworldservice.com`` Lotsa luck finding anything about this there. At
1528 into UTwente when measured, S9+30/35. Keeps going past 1530 and
even past     1600!

Per HFCC & EiBi, this is amid a 17745 weekday sesquihour pause
between: Somali 1400-1500 at 225 degrees via UAE, and Kinyarwanda
1630-1700 at 315 degrees via MADAGASCAR, i.e. thisaway. I`d opt for
the latter site at this strength. But why waste all those 250 kW? On
weekends, Somali is sked straight thru, 11-17 via UAE, 17-19 via Oman
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2261 monitoring: confirmed Friday

** U S A. 5130 -74 Hz = 5129.926, Sept 20 at *2355, WBCQ comes on with
IS and ID loop, but not 3265, S9/+10 into NH SDR. 2359 ``WBCQ, Radio
Trump International on Radio Angela`` outdated ID, dead air and //
7490 after 0000 Sept 21, opening `AAAWWW` theme with first interjexion
``we have to fight for free speech``, etc. With Angela in Florida
studio 9, right into politix, about taxes, ``Democrat crap``. Made
worse by both of them, especially Angela, yelling, which from a studio
makes their delusions even more of a turn-off. So I hardly pay
attention but let this new episode run in background. 5130- goes to
dead air at 0100 before they are quite finished; at 0102 canned WBCQ
ID, more DA and off by 0103 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 28200+ CW, Sept 20 at 2207, twenty T`s in a row and long
pause, probably this in WGB list: ``28200.5  N4WLO - Theodore AL USA
EM50uo - #0 (19 Sept 2024) Note: ID only, every 10 min. at:
1/11/21/31... + dashes between cicles`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** MEXICO. 800, Sept 19 from 0620, the extremely distorted signal is
certainly XEERG, Ojo de Agua, Nuevo León. After two nights of hearing
horribly distorted QRM to KQCV 800 OKC, not noted earlier UT Sept 19
during primetime, but again now at 0620, altho not as severe as
before. See previous reports under OKLAHOMA [and non].

This time I`m checking remote receivers. NOT heard in OKC, so not a
defect of KQCV itself. Not heard at Durango2 SDR. But YES, audible at
these: Querétaro; Austin TX; even Truth or Consequences NM making me
wonder if XEROK could be attempting a comeback. At 0625 am also
hearing it quite well at McAllen TX SDR in the RGV, so I stick with
that. Without KQCV or other QRM there, I can tell there are Spanish
announcements between rock tunes. At 0638, Spanish ID mentions
``92.9``. A BIG clue, so let`s take another look at listings:

mwlist: ``MEX XEERG RG La Deportiva 92.9 FM Ojo de Agua * 10/2.5
relays XHERG 92.9 MHz, ex XEDD La Tremenda``

Who cares what state it`s in? Mwlist does not. But they should, since
there are more than one Ojo de Agua in the country! Google searching
without specifying Nuevo León leads to the major one in Estado de
México. But look at this in the 2024 IRCA Mexican Log:

``800 XEERG NL Ojo de Agua 10000 2500 R-G La Deportiva 24h? SPT ORO //
XERG 690 AM, XHERG 92.9 FM, and XHFMTU 103.7 FM-HD2. ex-XEDD. Stereo.
Staying on AM per IFT. Active on AM 11/23 (logged by DXer) and
included in 8/24 IFT list. This station was purchased because of its
powerful FM license, giving the operator of XERG 690 AM an FM "rim
shot" into Monterrey``

Facebook: ``La localidad de Ojo de Agua está situado en el Municipio
de Agualeguas (en el Estado de Nuevo León). Tiene 82 habitantes. Ojo
de Agua está a 380 metros de altitud.``

So there we have both an FM frequency match and a geographical match
for XEERG near Monterrey. We do not have a format match, but it would
not be unusual for a sports station to be playing music instead in the
nightmiddle. On distorted 800, I hear another announcement break at
0642 before quitting SDR. Final check direct at 0647: less distorted
music still QRMing KQCV.

Then in the daytime at 1615 UT, I check McAllen again: and there it is
by groundwave on 800, extremely distorted talk, presumably about
sports. Non-local strength, only S5. While monitoring via McAllen
remote in the night, I did not yet know about the // on 690. But now
at 1620 there is ALSO NON-distorted sports talk mentioning Monterrey,
on 690. By 1710, no signal on 690, off? but still distorted on 800.
This is not splatter from anything on 790 or 810. The TWR Brownsville
SDR is not available. BTW when I first checked the new McAllen SDR a
few days ago, it was deaf below 1800 kHz, but not anymore. I had
previously asked if anyone else was hearing the distorted 800, but no
replies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2261)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday September 19 at 0130 on WRMI, 5010 direct, S9+15/20 in high
storm noise level, and also a few noise burst QRMs briefly. Followed
`Frecuencia al Día`, and some music fill, no ID before WOR.

Also confirmed Thursday September 19 from 1630.7 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.000+, S9+5 into UTwente. Following ID as ``Shortwave
Radio, Germany`` on both 6160 and 3975, but 3975 is not on yet,
scheduled from 1700.

UNIDENTIFIED. 13560+, Sept 19 at 1848, pulses at the rate of

** BRAZIL. 28270.5 CW, Sept 18 at 2204, only beacon heard is dash VVV
PY4MAB. Higher on 28 MHz, only one unID phoner in quick scan. WGB
list:
``28270.5 PY4MAB - Poços de Caldas MG BRA GG68re - #0/1/3 (14 Sept
2024) Note: VVV ID + grid + BCN + 5" carr. Cobra 142 gtl mod. ant vert

POÇOS DE CALDAS MG ZIP CODE 37704-274, MG, Brazil``
https://www.qrz.com/db/PY4MAB
includes brief biography, linx to social media, huge photo gallery of
equipment, the city, wildlife, nary a human, and: ``I have a Radio
Beacon on the frequency of 28.270.5 CW, 24 hours a day, vertical
antenna, 10 watts of power. In 2020 it will be 10 years since Beacon
is on the air. Whoever receives the signals and sends me a
confirmation by letter I will respond to everyone and send a special
QSL card from my city.`` As name implies, city is known for its hot
springs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. 800, Sept 18 at 0635 UT, KQCV OKC again
tonight with continuous QRM, extremely distorted seems like music,
right on same frequency only. Does not match anything on 780, 790, 810
or 820. This time I DF it with the altazimuth wrist-mounted DX-398:
peaks NNW/SSE at same angle as KQCV. Possibly out of KQCV itself, but
again no sign of it in daytime check after 1430. Is anyone else
hearing this? Based on DF alone, but a few possibilities: CHAB Moose
Jaw SK, WSHO New Orleans LA, XEQT Veracruz -- but none of them very
likely by power and distance. CHAB & WSHO are OK in remote daytime
chex 1745. How about PJB? Own Bonaire SDR tied up as often. Next time
I should check remotes when I am hearing that, especially the one in
OKC (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA [non?]. 11936.143+, Sept 18 at 1806, very rapid
chirping vs Yemen service, S9+20. Jamming from Iran? UTwente flails to
lock onto when tuned to 11935, but finally stix here when tuned to
11936.00 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Sept 18 at 2201, token English from SNR, S9+30/40
direct, 2202 news, something about democratic reforms proposed, such
as decriminalizing insulting royalty. 2212 check, 17715 back to weaker
than 17855 since it`s toward S America, but today is also fluttechoey
unlike the others: 15520 sufficient and 15390 still AWOL (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.005, Sept 18 at *2200.3, VOT carrier cuts on late,
dead air at first and powering up from S8 to S9+20 as monitored
direct; 2201 brings up modulation as olds is starting. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. Recheck 2214 ending `Review of the
Turkish Press`, into a new segment I had not heard before, about
inventions; starting with assassination of Chicago Mayor Harrison on
28 October 1893. This led to improvements in body protexion: steel
armor and shields obsolete. Something about a Polish immigrant`s work.
Dr. George E. Goodfellow discovered that someone avoided death because
a bullet hit his handkerchief in pocket, and this led to bulletproof
vest invention, as he demonstrated by having an assistant fire at him
point-blank. Never explained materials made of, kevlar never
mentioned! But show outro as `Unscripted Twists of Fate` -? or more
likely, `Unexpected-`? 2222 music. 2233 recheck into UTwente when
measured, S9+45, more music. 2238 ``always-by-your-side`` promo,
`Sports Panorama`. 2247 music. 2252 s/off as if on 17620 at 1230. 2253
IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs. 2300 ~correct timesignal and s/on
German, 2301 Alten to 2302.6* chop. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Sept 18 at 0645-0651 UT, MW NDB bandscan hits a lot of
intriguing JBA carriers, but no IDs audible, still plenty of storm
noise. From RNA listings and previous monitoring experience, I guess
them to be:
305, RO, Roswell NM, 400 watts
326, MA, Midland TX, 400 watts
338, TU, Tulsa OK, ``0`` watts
344, JL, Joplin MO, ``0`` watts
346, YXL, Sioux Lookout ON, 500 watts
359, SDR, Snyder TX, 25 watts, but off?
379, RUE, Russellville AR, 25 watts, ``RU``
384, JB, Lumberton NC, 0 watts, only listed, doubtful
385, HO, Hot Springs AR, 50 watts
404, HU, Hutchinson KS, 25 watts
407, HRU, Herington KS, 25 watts
420, FQ, Fairmont MN; PK Olathe/Herbb KS; or TU Tupelo MS, each 25
watts

Only ID copied this session at 0650:
395, CA, Newton/Harvs KS, 25 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2260 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
September 17 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+15 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday September 17 at 2331 on Shortwave Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.002+, JBA S7/S8 noisy into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday September 18 at 1930 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 6160.001+ at S9+10/15 and 3975.003 also at S9+10/15 into
UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday September 18 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490 -74 Hz =
7489.926, S9+15 into NH SDR. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

** U S A. 1530, Sept 18 at 0653 UT, Mexmx mixing with WCKY, unusual.
0654 phone number in Spanish starting with AC 512, which is San
Antonio TX area - or was as I well remember from living there, but it
shrank in 1992 to Austin area. And on the altazimuth wrist-mounted
DX398, DF SSW almost fits for that, really closer to due south. 0659
and again at 0700, IDs as ``La Raza 95.1``. Therefore per NRC AM Log,
it`s KZNX, Creedmoor TX, U7 10000/220/1000/55 watts, address in El
Paso, but that`s the group HQ. Creedmoor is not even indexed in my
road atlas. It`s 15 miles south of Austin, 2020 census population 434.
What do you bet it`s not on 220 watt night power? KZNX last logged
April 8 during Total Solar Eclipse. You might expect a TX 1530 in
Spanish would be KGBT Harlingen, U8 50/10/50 kW, but night pattern
disfavors the north, main lobe ESE into GOM, and it`s TUDN sports

** CUBA. 15230, Sept 17 at 0338, S8/9+10 of dead air in Spanish from
RHC where something`s always wrong. The Other Side:
``Agriculture -- the first law of Castroism: even when something goes
very wrong, it can always get even worse. If the Ministry of
Agriculture granted 100 pesos of credit for each fruitless plan,

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Sept 17 at 0335, anti-Christ pirate Station
YHWH, S9/+10 undermodulated vs storm noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Sept 17 at 0340, JBA S6/S7, finally some
modulation audible direct, music, 0342 announcement seems English but
too weak to copy, 0343 back to music, choral? I emailed to the Hikari
FM address, but no reply yet. EiBi shows location as Choya Bay,
Sonora, which is what the pirate op once said. Or Cholla, that`s just
west beyond Puerto Peñasco on a little peninsula into the Sea of
Cortez (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non?]. 800, Sept 17 at 0635 UT, usual dominant signal
from KQCV OKC has some very distorted QRM on this frequency only. Not
sure yet whether local, need to check on other radios. No sign of the
noise in daytime at 1710. NRC AM Log shows *all* other conterminous US
800s have less than KQCV`s 1000-watt night power. XEROK is kaput, not
mentioned at all in 2024 IRCA Mexican Log. There are a few more XEs
still on 800; higher-powered Canadians; and PJB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Sept 17 at 2158, no token English on Tuesday but
checking SNR Ladino reception anyway. VP direct S5/S8 with pulsing on
the plus side. This NAm frequency at S6/S8 is *weaker* than 17715 to
SAm, S9/+10 with flutter, so something`s notright at Noblejas in
addition to prop disturbance. 15520 also on and 15390 also still off.
Estimated frequency at 2200 of the pulsing, never noticed before:
17855.7. Is it REE transmitter itself? Into Maryland SDR at 2220,
17855 S3/S5 with flutter and 17715 S5/S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
