Logs
** ALGERIA. 9470, Aug 31 at 0352, S7/S9 of JBM yelling, no doubt
Ifrikya FM as scheduled 0300-0600 via Béchar. Something`s awful in
Algeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4765, Aug 31 at 0334, R. Progreso is S9+15/25, but very
undermodulated music and mumbling. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba.

5025, Aug 31 at 0339, R. Rebelde is still off, as it had been before?
Idalia. Ron Howard says also silent from first check 0608 to last
check 0820. David Crawford, FL, replies:

``5025 Rebelde remains off as of 0230 31 AUG Z. The last time this
happened, when 5025 was taken down by TC Ian in Sept 2022, the 4765 tx
and/or antenna at Bauta were hijacked away from Progreso for a few
months and repurposed for Rebelde. I'm curious to see if it happens
again. Ian was a lot stronger than Idalia, so presumably less damage
resulted this time. In the meantime, 4765 is operating normally, at
least in the relative Cuban radio sense`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 31 at 0339, RHC ``English`` with trace of
modulation, S9+20/30. Also JBM are ``Spanish`` on 9535, 15230.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275, Aug 31 at 0341, Turkish music S9+20/25 direct very
distorted. So this VOT English to NAm hour is no better than the 22
one I more conveniently monitor. BUT:

9770, Aug 31 at 0354, TRT Turkish service playing the ``old version``
interval signal, ~26 distinct notes on xylo?phone; great to hear it
again and I recommend these few minutes, with Burasi - IDs in Turkish;
0355.5 choral/martial NA which they never play on external languages;
0356.5 s/on, having to pronounce www as if in English! and into more
nice Turkish music. S9+25/35, VG signal and modulation and I bet it`s
aimed thisaway: yes, HFCC shows 500 kW, 310 degrees at 0400-0600 to
Eu, same beam as for ENAm. While the 7275 at 0300 is at 325 degrees,
for CIRAF Mexico, Caribbean, all of conterminous USA, except three
Pacific coast states (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2206)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2205 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday August 30 at 2100.5 on WBCQ 7490 -70 Hz = 7489.93, S7/S9
into Virginia SDR.

into Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Thursday August 31 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S9/+10 but
noisy into Missouri SDR.

Thanks this week for financial support from Donald Pearce, N0WMD,
Potomac MD, for a contribution via PayPal in US funds but not
necessarily, to woradio at yahoo.com and says, ``Hi Glenn, After a
long hiatus, I’m back to SWLing; Thanks for all you do for the SWL
hobby!``

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZOMBIA [non]. 4940, Aug 31 at 0335, no signal from 4940
Station; but JBA carrier on 4930 as VOA BOTSWANA no doubt succeeds.
Ron Howard says 4940 was also off at 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6981 approx., Aug 31 at 0329, multi-beepery a few kHz
above and below but can`t pinpoint a single source; and at 0330 sharp
blasted by noise for about 14 seconds plus 1, just like infests 7780
vomiting upon yours truly and anyone else every semi-hour on that WRMI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.00, Aug 31 at 0640, gospel huxter in Amerenglish,
S4 vs storm noise peaks S7. Still on at 0716. Have not heard it much
earlier; previously considerably off-frequency-plus but now close to
accurate; nothing listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2206)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7305, Aug 31 at 0343 music I assumed would be easily
looked up, but nothing this hour in EiBi, Aoki, WRTH 24 Aug Update;
but an HFCC registration of something: ``7305 0330 0430 40 DHA 250 35
0 803 1234567 260323 291023 D 16000 Fas UAE ADM ADM 3697 UAE`` (Glenn

Logs
** CUBA. 5025, Aug 30 at 0025, R. Rebelde is again/still OFF. David
Crawford replies early UT Aug 30 to previous reports:

``The movies are Cubavisión TV audio, aka TeleCV, a domestic channel.
Not to be confused with Cubavisión Internacional, aka CVI, which is a
separate channel. There have been lots of recent, totally random CV
audio relays in place of RHC SPN and also in place of Rebelde on
5025.

There are also some unlisted, irregular, evening Rebelde FM relays on
RHC SPN freqs -- 11950 2200+ Z from Bauta is a good freq and time to
check.

RHC SPN showed up on unlisted, strong 9600 from Bauta at 0200 Z on 26
AUG, gone at 0305 Z recheck, not heard since.

RHC was completely off the air along with 5025 this local morning,
1300+ 29 AUG Z, undoubtedly for the passage of tropical cyclone
Idalia. It's all back as of 0030 30 AUG Z.

One further data point, 5025 is NOT back tonight yet as of 0145 Z,
Quillabamba is there weakly instead w/ SPN preacher. David E.
Crawford, Indian River City, Florida``

Even my large-scale atlas does not show any I.R.C., but county of same
name is NE of Okeechobee on the east coast between Melbourne and Fort
Pierce, well away from hurricane path. No, mapquest finds it further
north near or part of Titusville on US1 east of Orlando. Googlemap
claims wind and rain there at 1704 UT Aug 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Aug 30 at 2327, matching spurs peaking about 2.3 kHz
plus/minus out of RHC transmitter, and further messiness especially on
low side out to 11740. This time I am not attributing it to 11780
Brasil transmitter. Tuned directly to 11760 it sounds squealy.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11860, Aug 30 at 2324, S7/S9 humroar, no program
modulation, presumed Republic of Yemen Radio, via severely ailing SA
transmitter. No Cuban residual pulse jamming audible now, presumably
buried by this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday August 30 at 2200, token English from SFR, VG
into Maryland SDR, again cohostessed only by Amy Egan & Marilýn
Quintana. First about a Spanish cinema master, and how he dealt with
the Franco dictatorship. 2222 on to anniversary of a fotographeress,
Colita. Almost as good on 15520 for ME, 17715 for SAm; and inferiorly
squealy on 11670 for Af (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Aug 30 at 2155, VOT is on already with IS and
English IDs, S9+45/50 into UTwente and somewhat distorted, more so
unfortunately during music. But I`m listening first to simulSpain
17855. At 2213, talk about AI, outro at 2217 as having been `Gripping
Piles`; distorted music break. 2230 again about AI, this time the
badax, re US military applications, mentioning the Pentagun and
Silicon Valley, a repeat of yesterday. 2239 outro `Weekly Commentary,
and ``Always [sic] By Your Side`` promo, music. 2248 `Feeling
Supreme/The Healing Supring``, repeat of Aug 28 about anemia. 2253
s/off by badax. Fragment of IS and off 2255* - no finesse. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2205 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees,

World of Radio and the DX-Loggings each week for over four decades.
Thanks for your continued efforts keeping the radio hobbyist community
informed of the latest developments whether it is Shortwave, Medium
Wave or FM``

One may also contribute, not necessarily in US funds via PayPal to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5935, Aug 30 at 0632, WWCR-2 in S9+30 of dead air except for
blips of mod trying to break thru about once per second, then nothing
at all; during the so-called `University Network` of deceased Gene
Scott and heiress Pastor Melissa Scott. Nohuman paying attn at 1300
WWCR Ave where something`s nogood in Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.146V, Aug 30 at 0635, the gospel huxter in
Amerenglish of Aug 28 is back altho no sign of him Aug 29, S4 vs storm
noise peaking S7. Kept varying upwards slightly as trying to measure
it. Dozed off and gone again by next check 0729 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9883 USB, Aug 30 2330-2340*, US military crypto
broadcast on an unexpected frequency, usually in aero bands. Weak but
clearly enunciated fonetix, copied most but missed occasional letter
in fades: ``ES6K DZQJDBQFF#DUKB PJ3INJ#F7 DKS6KFDZQKDNQ# 4KBC 24

** AUSTRALIA. 9323 USB, Aug 29 at 0647, JBA talk, no doubt the
Austravel Safety Net, VMD750 as discovered much better last night.
Also have similar reception on 10125 USB from VK hams as heard several
times before but tough to ID - and still no HK3QQ (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHILE. 28446 USB, Aug 29 at 2050, CE4PS contacting a K4 among other
quick QSOs. As often on 10m, seems almost dead, no beacons, just a
signal or two ideally located to break thru. Only one other from
DomRep, 28457? QRZ.com: ``CE4PS Chile flag Chile, Philip A. "Phil"
Smith, Pichilemu 3220000, Chile, QSL: PO Box 70 Pichilemu. Web SDRs is
killing ham radio. PUT a better ANTENNA. We can tell if you are faking
the QSO!!! Let's sell all rigs and buy a phone with internet. How about
that?`` And he also Xs out FT8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA. 24960 USB, Aug 29 at 2053, TI2JS, Javier in San José
working an EI - Ireland. First DX I`ve heard for some time on 12m.
QRZ.com: ``TI2JS Costa Rica flag Costa Rica, Javier A "Javi" Salazar,
P.O. Box 789-2010, San Jose 10105, Costa Rica (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Aug 29 at 0030, something in Spanish as I bring up the
Missouri SDR pre-tuned to this frequency, before checking 9395 for
WOR; then right back to 15140 but it`s gone by 0031. Must have been
another far-overrun by RHC where something`s always wrong (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9565, Aug 29 at 0649, mixed with pulse jamming against no
Martí, rapid two-tone beepery, unlike slow regular ones heard before
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Aug 29 at 0703, R. Rebelde is OFF. 28 hours before,
Marshall Reel reported: ``To paraphrase GH, something is REALLY wrong
on Cuban radio! This recording is Cuba's Radio Rebelde 5025 khz around
0302 UTC last night 8/28/23, playing what sounded like a movie
soundtrack in English. Similar audio played the rest of the night
until around 1100 UTC (7 AM Havana time) At that time I recorded
normal programming in progress. Heard in Damascus, MD with RSPdx and
80 meter elevated loop antenna.

Ron Howard then IDed the movie excerpt: ``Audio from the "Van Helsing"

close . . ."

Ron``

And later from Ron: ``Aug 29 - No Cuba on 5025, checking 0718, 0755,
0828, 0845 and 0905 UT. Ron (California)`` SAWA! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MEXICO. Re: ``6200 AM, Aug 28 at 0638, Japanese song at S7,
presumed pirate Hikari FM, signal improved. BTW, why include ``FM`` in
name of a station on AM/SW? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)`` --- Ron Howard
replies:

``Hi Glenn - Perhaps due to originally when the station started
playing Japanese music, they were downloaded off an FM station in
Tokyo?

Aug 29 - Hikari FM (6200 AM) from 0728+ UT; cutting through the
summertime QRN (static) with Japanese songs; the usual ID in English,
plus song IDs in Japanese and English. My audio -

Ron California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.010+, Aug 29 at *2200 carrier on just in time for
timesignal, usual jumbled and incomplete sked at s/on. 2202 headlines
by better speakerine, and details. S9+35 into UTwente and somewhat
distorted overmodulation. Soon settles down to usual 11785.009+. 2207,
jingle and midcast ID. 2210 already about cuisine, sports. 2213 very
distorted music bit and `Review of the Turkish Press`. 2215 song. 2218
`Weekly Commentary` about AI, military applications, apparently by an
American, read by badax. Next check at 2255, already off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2205 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday August 29 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/20 into Missouri SDR.

NOT confirmed Tuesday August 29 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, rather sounds
like World Music fill before and after the ToH ID. I`ve informed Jeff
about this and three other System B/9955/webcast schedulings that are
not happening. He says they won`t start until later in Sept. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW

** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 29 at 0643, R. Vanuatu continues to provide a
good signal every night, but this time it`s wobbly as if beat from
another station on slightly different frequency; but I decide it`s due
to unstable ionosphere, as WRMI 7780 is similarly heard, but not 7730
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300+, Aug 29 circa 0300, I start running UTwente in USB
to catch last night`s unID --- but never anything on or about 7300 by
0642 when I also start checking direct. Nor was there anything into
Missouri SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9709.4 approx., USB, Aug 29 at 0650, JBA 2-way in Spanish
including whistling, a sure sign of amateurism, INTRUDERS (Glenn

** AUSTRALIA. 9323 USB, Aug 28 at 0648, some kind of net here just far
enough from 9330 WBCQ/WLCR for that not to be a problem. NCS seems to
be called ``2199``, S3/S4 stronger than various checkins; accent
sounds Oz. ``What`s your destination?``,``Member 33385[?]``. Place
mentioned sounds like Tuwumba: aha, there is a Toowoomba in
Queensland! ``Good afternoon`` at 0654* and apparently closed. This
reminds me of some Outback caravan/travel club in Australia made up of
citizens, not military or official at all. Aha2, searching UDXF on
9323 gets these:
https://groups.io/g/UDXF/topic/87988270#102480
i.e. 10 frequencies, including #: ``6 9323 kHz Bases - Casino and
Kununurra``, i.e.:
Austravel Safety Net, VMD750, promoting HF radio contactness,
https://www.austravelsafetynet.org.au/
Much more info here including frequency lists:
https://www.austravelsafetynet.org.au/node/2

There is another unrelated one with different frequencies, VKS-737
Radio Network, Serving Remote Travellers since 1993:
https://vks737.radio/frequencies/
I am unaware of anything similar in North America where we are not so
sparse and remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994, Aug 28 at 2120, R. Cairo is S9+20/40 into UTwente,
distorted and JBM in English with humwhine, perceptible with all
volumes at max, something about the 1953? revolution. Somewhat
comprehensible by concentrating, but we shouldn`t have to put up with
all these obstacles. Something`s egregious in Egypt. 2124, ``Radio
Cairo presents`` algo, mixed with even more distorted music. Goodbye
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6200 AM, Aug 28 at 0638, Japanese song at S7, presumed
pirate Hikari FM, signal improved. BTW, why include ``FM`` in name of
a station on AM/SW? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 101.5, Aug 28 at 1951 UT, JBA song in Spanish
on caradio, so maybe KOCD Okeene have resumed modulation? No, soon ad
in English for United Internet in SW Kansas, Liberal ad, mentions
103.9? No KSpanish listed there: must have been ``93.9`` which bears
KZRD Dodge City, 100 kW ``La Mexicana`` per WTFDA FM DB.

And 101.5 is: KSMM, 100 kW ``La Mexicana`` in Liberal, allegedly relay
of: KMML 92.9 but 101.5 still Remarked as: ``Silent 4/28/22; xmtr
failure``. ! But there is no 92.9 called KMML! The only 92.9 KS is
KMXN, 42 kW in Osage City, not ``MeXicaN`` as it may have been
previously, but Country, ``The Bull``! KMML calls instead apply to
102.1, 40 kW ``La Mexicana`` in Cimarrón KS.

What a mess!! I logged and pointed out this anomaly several weeks ago,
but WTFDA still has not cleared it up. Liberal is 281 km = 173 stmi
away, so really fringe. Cimarrón is strategically located about
halfway between the Cities Dodge and Garden. Not to be confused with
the Cimarrón in NM; I don`t find a C-town in OK but names the
westernmost county at the end of Nomansland. Liberal is right on the
OK Panhandle border, but radio-locator shows 101.5 site is definitely
in KS, ENE of Liberal.

But what about KOCD? As I drive down the road a bit, lose Liberal and
there`s the dead air in $ tereo dominant from Okeene, as it has been
since at least August 9. Cursory chex on Aug 26 & 27 had not heard it
so wondered if off completely (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Aug 28 at 2200, token English from REE/SNR is VG
S9+10/20 direct, again co-hostessed by Amy Egan & Marilýn [finally get
to use ASCII 0253, tentatively] Quintana. Feature topic is about
recipes and food (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11784.998, Aug 27 at 2217, VOT English not off the air
today, VG S9+45/50 into UTwente, also with good modulation; historic
talk about something 252 years ago, sounds like the YL voice I refer
to as ``badax`` = with bad accent, but more comprehensible than usual;
maybe she is trying harder to improve her dixion. 2223 Analysis? I
heard before about Turkish/Syrian relations. 2256 oh2, IS still on air
interspersed with German IDs, and 2300 opening German with distortion.
I let it run in background until I notice at 2333 that it`s off, maybe
slightly earlier. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Aug 28 at 2225, VOT English is S9+10/20 direct like
SPAIN, q.v., but with more choppy fading, during music; 2227 `Feeling
Supreme/The Healing Spring` about anemia, which foods are good to
lessen it: citrus, beans, sunflower seeds, beet root, etc. Recheck in
time to hear closing IS for a bit until 2255.5* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2205 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
August 27 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+10/20 into
nearby SDR but with CCI making fast SAH, presumably Brighton, England;
also at 2000 on WRN webcast of Euro service.

NOT confirmed Sun Aug 27 at 2000 for the third week in a row despite
appearing on WRMI sked as webcast only; rather, choral gospelish
music.

Confirmed UT Monday August 28 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA direct with
HSNL.

Also confirmed UT Monday August 28 from 0259.6 on Area 51 via WBCQ
6160 -68 Hz = 6159.932, S9+5/12 into NH SDR. Next:

0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [NEW; NOT Aug 22]
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB
1030 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB [previous #2204]
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

UNIDENTIFIED. 7300.325, Aug 28 at 0623, gospel huxter talk in English
at S7, improved from last night`s JBA carrier when it was on about
7300.09; fluxuates, a few minutes earlier more like 7300.313. I`m back
on it before 0700 for possible ID but sermon now S9 continues past
0702, and now about 7300.444V. Far-Christian buzzwords give it away,
but whence? Spaceline Bulgaria is very fond of ``even`` ---00
frequencies and of course propagates TOMBS, registered available in
fact per HFCC with unknown client on 7300 at 0200-0600, 100 kW at 110
degrees: but never? so far off-frequency; not // 5850 WRMI TOMBS but
would not be synchronized anyway. HFCC has several at other times on
7300, Beijing, Kashgar, Woofferton. No other clues in Aoki but EiBi
also has Taiwan at other times, banned by China from HFCC. Nor in
latest WRTH Updater V.19 dated 24 August. Someone more awake than I
might try to ID or TDOA this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
