** CANADA [and non]. 332 MCW kHz, Oct 11 at 0705 UT, QT, 1000 watt ND
beacon at Thunder Bay ON, after months, finally able to JB copy it vs
noise level, marginally improved conditions, and underneath it, IC,
400 watts at Wichita KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 13735 & 15300, Oct 11 circa 1522, no signal from
MiniTransAt, direct or via UTwente, suspected suspended during
Canarias layover before resuming late in Oct; but need to check if any
pro-forma appearance at *1500 here or on 6100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ISRAEL [non]. 7570, Oct 11 at 2330, Israel Radio, `KAN` can now be
heard well across N America on SW, as it so happens that WRMI has
changed to WRN relay at 23-24 UT Mon-Fri. Don`t you believe the Xmtr
11 frequency sked atop which claims this hour be RAE Argentina. You`d
never know exactly what it contains, but Dave White, NC, discovered
Israel on Oct 10. It is on the WRN sked for 2330. Seems like the whole
broadcast is news about Topic A, mostly one anchor but with
axualities, interviews. Timecheck at intro was 8 pm = 17 UT, when one
could also hear it on their own stream. Since it was the one-hour 17
UT broadcast repeated, as I expected, WRN chops it short at 2359. WRMI
gotta get back in the TOMBS at 0000. All the daily u.o.s. times for
Israel Radio on WRN to NAm: 0400-0500, 0800-0830, 1400-1430 Sun,
1700-1800, 2330-2400 UT. Some of the others might also be on WRMI
stream if not SW, unresearched yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 101.5, Oct 11 circa 2010 UT on caradio, still $ tereo
deadair in Spanish from KOCD Okeene. Radio Salvación forgot to turn it
off in January. Still paying the fluid bill? (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Oct 11 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR. Says Thu Oct 12 will be Spain`s national
day. Don`t they know that Estados Unidos has decreed it has to be on
lunes? After news at 2207, more about that, had been called in Spain
``Dia de la hispanidad``. Other names for it now in different Latin
American countries, ``Día de la raza`` in Argentina, Chile y México -
but which ``the race`` does this refer to? Elsewhere Columbus is no
hero, and native peoples are more celebrated. But this is only intro
to main feature, an interview about Flamenco (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 11 at 2200 and periodic chex past 2230 on
UTwente and Virginia remotes, no show of VOT English to us.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Oct 11 at 1535, KMK282 at KOVR `13` Stockton /
Sacramento CA is active, JBA direct and Maryland SDR; 1612, slightly
better at Missouri SDR, but mostly unreadable talk, still 1630.
Improved by 1637. Following tips to the WOR iog: ``Listening to KMK282
right now (10/11 1540 UTC) - 26110 KHz NFM. Signal is peaking around
S7 with deep fades here in central NC. [At 1549:] Now peaking at times

just roar on 11860 from Sa`udi Yemenia. What`s going on at Grimesland,
power failure? 1659 recheck, now 13605 on and nominal. Some urgent
repairs were needed in the antenna switch bay, so had to turn them off

** U S A. 9955, Oct 11 at 0646 check, WRMI // 9395 with TOMBS minus
BS, some other g.h.: is he ever identified by name?
Frequency/transmitter grid does show TOMBS; while System B, otherwise
mostly 9955, is on internet only with WRN; while individual System E
program grid, nothing but TOMBS, lax 9955 at this hour. Something`s
odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Oct 10 at 2359 tune-in, WTWW with Scriptures for
America outro so presumably started circa 2300 as originally planned,
says from the PPP archive; from 0000 UT Oct 11 into ``Ancient Word
Radio on WTWW`` and gospel rock --- ancient?! 0003 ID again and hymn.
Followed by this:

``Hi Glenn, Regarding WTWW, I logged them here in Hope BC last night
at 0212 (Tuesday evening 1912 PDT) until the top of the hour with
Thunderbolt West Media with Jim Calhoun playing various country tracks
he seemed to really like with occasional mentions of WRMI and Radio
Angela. I don't recall hearing him mention WTWW at any time. He did
give out a postal address in Hershey Nebraska for donations. At 0259 I
heard an ID as Into Ancient Word Radio with legal ID. Signal was not
too bad, mauve a SINPO 44434 at best. Tony Pavick`` (Glenn

more detail this date from Ron Howard:

``9960, Radio Vanuatu, Oct 11, from 0525 through 0658* UT; the usual
programming; some of the pop songs played today: Toto, "Africa," Alan
Jackson, "Summertime Blues," Foreigner - "I Want To Know What Love
Is," etc.; 0630-0638, with intro/closing with the usual indigenous drums
for the service messages segment; today giving contact info for anyone
entitled to any property or owed money from the estate of someone who
recently died in 2023. Reception up here is certainly better than 7260
and infinitely better than 3945.

My audio: https://app.box.com/s/10joaf3zop71d0ts21bxybft7v9ql7f6 :
- Indigenous drums ending the service messages segment.

** FRANCE. 13735 & 15300, Oct 10 at 1528, no signals detected direct
from MiniTransAt, but inconclusive. I suppose there be no need for new

but maybe will keep daily 15 UT broadcasts going anyway with fill
music? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

via the WOR iog:

``Tent. reactivation Radio Sur Andina 4930.6 kHz. Hi, 4930.6 tent.

any identification, at 0000 utc off the air without S/Off. Some
Peruvian DXers mention that it must be this station. I heard activity
on that frequency since the beginning of the month. The web page
radiosurandina.com it`s off but in Facebook page RadioSurAndina shows
Radio TV Pitumarca some logo's mention "OCT 4930 kHz" as Radio TV
Pitumarca canal 11. Good DX, Rafael Rodríguez R., Bogotá D.C. -

``As soon as I post this, about 2345 Oct 7, no sign of it 24 hours
later into Brasil or Bonaire SDRs. OCT on the page would mean onda
corta tropical rather than octubre. Glenn``

``Subject: New Peruvian station --- Hi Glenn: It`s me César Pérez

Radio Pitumarca from Sicuani, Cuzco through Radio Sur Andina, a

Just tried it via Bonaire SDR at 0125 Oct 10 - nothing but huge noise
4930-4935 but not on the lower side. I wonder when new station signs
off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 11800, Oct 10 at 2219, horrible mix of English

Europe altho 300 degrees USward, and NHK at 235 degrees for SE Asia,
but directly backward at 55 degrees would be USward (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 10 at 2200, not off the air, VOT timesignal only
a couple seconds fast, and English to us fair direct, but accented

** U S A. 5085, continued from last report on reactivated WTWW, UT Tue
Oct 10: preacher continues with visual references, evidently a sermon
before an audience, but no reaxion heard from them; 0054 `Mighty
Fortress` hymn, and then outro as from ``Trinity Chapel in southwest
Virginia``, https://trinitychapelvirginia.com/ so it`s NOT PPP but
BBB, or rather just BB as Bob Biermann has now ``retired`` from his
bishop job per the Our Pastor page: nothing there yet about being on
WTWW, or WRMI.

So BB has a new radio program. But at 0059 ID as ``Ancient Word Radio
on WTWW 5085`` And 0100 into BB`s `Truth2Ponder` mixing far-right
politix with religion, like all over WRMI. Recheck at 0205 I hear an
unknown different voice. Evidently BB is subleasing to other gospel
huxters. Call from George McClintock confirms they are underway, and
expects BB to add more and more time soon including 9475 in daytime.
Recheck 0409, it`s already off 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555 LSB, Oct 10 at 1529, noisy WJHR with gospel huxter on
LSB instead of usual USB; why? Not always audible, depending on
sporadic E boost? and/or whether really on the air (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Oct 10 at 0640, R. Vanuatu on surprise new
frequency, first heard 24 hours ago as unID. Now I`m hearing ``island
music``, YL DJ with IDs in passing at 0643, 0646.5, 0654. Tunes
included 0643 ``Country Roads`` about West Virginia, morphing into ``I
Only Love You``. 0659.5* cuts off air just like 7260 used to do for
frequency change. With USB tuning, WRMI 9955 TOMBS weak enough now not
to be a problem.

At first I suspected 4th harmonic of 2485, except that does not quite
compute: would land on 9940. And if already on lowest frequency at
nightfall, where to move but up? Nothing heard on other exact
multiples of 2485 or 2490. Choice of 9960 maybe due to harmonic
resonance of antenna and/or transmitter. Following my unID log last
night, here`s what led up to the above, and following:

``[WOR] 9960, What is on now? Last night after 0600 UT I had a very
weak broadcaster aside TOMBS/WRMI 9955. Tonight at 0521 UTwente locks
onto 9959.999 but not audible. Nothing showing at remotes in
Khabarovsk or Negros. At 0532 I am again detecting it direct, JBA
talk. Glenn Hauser, OK``

English from SNR by the usual Amy Egan & Marilýn Quintana, but quick
IDs come from unfamiliar voices they must have recruited for that
purpose of variety. Feature subject after news to be marking World

UNIDENTIFIED. 4741.5, Oct 9 at 0643, as I happen to be here during a

WRPW597 as reported extensively last Feb 10/11, from the MS/AL/FL Gulf

which movie? 1528 dead air to 1530.2* off - or rather not quite: still
a JBA carrier at S7 past 1608, presumably the Issoudun exciter not
also turned off as nothing else is known on 13735.

Turco/Kurdo radio war as nothing else in the 11.5s;

11525, Oct 8 at 1445, JBA music, ditto, nothing else below 11590 =
KTWR in Kazakh. I suspect Dengê Gel and consequently Recep the Jammer
could appear on any 5/kHz-step channel in this range, not necessarily
at same time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Oct 8 at 1507 UT, K17JN Enid still on air
transmitting nothing but black and silence; including the three
``audio only`` subchannels which were always black - and one of those
was always silent (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2211 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday October 8 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, this new time finally activated
after several weeks on the alleged skedgrid: S9/+5 into Bonaire SDR,
maybe a trace of jamming during fades.

Not confirmed, UT Sun Oct 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, nor expected as
changed to `Thank You` show previously. I`ve asked Jeff what that`s
for, and if it`s a WRMI produxion or from elsewhere. Nasty ute is
still blasting noise at 0030 for first 14 seconds.

NOT confirmed, UT Sunday Oct 8 at 0300 on WRMI 7780, despite
appearance on skedgrid several days ago; instead, Slovakia in English.
Guess what: skedgrid shows 7780 at 0300-0330 on BOTH Systems D & F,
the latter with RSI English and // 7730, where I think I am also
hearing it but not synchronized. I notified Jeff about this
contradixion, and now I see that Sys D sked has deleted WOR and
everything else at 0300-0330 daily.

Confirmed UT Sunday October 8 at 0311 about 4 minutes into so started
circa 0307 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, S9+15 into nearby MO SDR.

As usual, not awake during Sunday 1030-1100 on WRMI 9955; has anyone
reconfirmed that airing lately? Next:

** U S A. 7505, Oct 8 at 0649, dead air yet again from WRNO vs HLLNL;
something`s always messed up at Metairie, and/or fouled up at Fort
Worth (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9162 USB, Oct 8 at 1455, weak 2-way seems Spanish (Glenn
