** CUBA. 15140, Nov 6 at 1555, RHC, S7/S9 of dead air or maybe trace
of modulation. 15230 also DA S9 less fading. Something`s always wrong
at RHC. The Other Side:

``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW November 1, 2023 --- WORKERS`RIGHTS

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21640.12V, Nov 6 at 1550, JBA wobbling carrier, obviously
still Issoudun with MiniTransAt. I wonder when the winner will reach
Guadeloupe, and then all the stragglers? Nov 23 is the out-date in
HFCC, after a beam adjustment Nov 13/14. Only others on 13m: 21485 and
21690, both also TDF but in better shape (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. Bruce Conti, NRC IDXD ed., replies to my obs that 846
carrier is not being heard direct nor at Kaneohe, Oahu, KiwiSDR which
used to hear it well:

``AsiaWaves lists R. Kiribati schedule 0000-0130, 0500-1005,
1825-2030, mwlist 0000-0130, 0530-0936 [12456], 1800-2000, and the
September 2023 Pacific-Asian Log lists 0000-0130, 0500-0935,
1630-2030. [Conti]``

Well, 846 was certainly on air by 0430 if not earlier, last year, and
it`s not clear if these listings be current. 1440 entry in Asiawaves
is dated Jan 2020; and for 846, Oct 2020. Also, same UT sked for 1440
and 846 which are 2 timezones apart?? Is 846 a 100% relay // 1440? PAL
explicitly states they are not //; but both off the air 0130-0500.
I`ll certainly check Oahu later from 0500 or even 0530. If they are
not //, why should each reference claim exactly the same timespans for
both despite two timezones apart? I don`t find any Pacific in mwlist,
hidden? Is Oahu or anyone hearing 846 deeper in the night to -0935,
-0936 or -1005? Hardly ever any audio. It could also be that the
carrier sometimes? stays on during the silent hours. That would not be
reported as part of the schedule. It may really be totally off the
air. Oahu remote at 0530 Nov 6 shows no 846 on waterfall yet suggests
there is an inaudible signal fluxuating between -4.8 and +1.2 Hz. No
different at 0600. I suspect that be a drawback of the SDR.

Casually, one may not realize how far East K. is from West K:
``The islands extend about 3,900 km (about 2,400 mi) from east to
west. From north to south they extend about 2,100 km (about 1,300 mi),
straddling the equator. 4,468 mi Distance from My Location
(Enid, OK) to Kiribati`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 7720, Nov 6 at 0738, JBA music, presumably Echo of
Hope for N Korea, VOH, sked 20 hpd at 07-03 per Aoki. Tnx to CST I am
more likely to DX after 07 UT, yawn (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Monday November 6 at 2300, SNR repeats new overall
sked effective Oct 29 but do not detail token English as M/W/F only at
2300-2330. Feature to be about ME situation, news. VG direct almost
overcoming OG&E`s line noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 6 at 2300, VOT JBA direct under OG&E
line noise, but VG S9+35/40 into UTwente offset +002 Hz, rather with
lite understation CCCCCCI as usual. News until 2320, then `Review of
the Turkish Press`. 2323 always-by-your-side promo, and `Feeling
Supreme/The Healing Spring` on benefits of okra (?) seeds, I think, or
Oprah? 2330 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2332 music. 2336 `New Day,
New Choices` with ``La Bamba`` theme, badax on microchips smaller than
a grain of sand; music. 2345 `Did You Know That` news of Atatuerk`s
death on Nov 10, 1938 resounded worldwide. 2350 song. 2353 sign-off
with partial sked almost totally wrong. Clueless announcer. Each of
the times labeled ``UTC`` while they are moarly really local UT+3!!
Sic: 2230-2330, 0030-0130, 0200-0300 on 5960, 9660 at
2030-2130[correct Z], 07-08 on 6125, 7285. But ``pre-recorded at 23-24
& 04-05[corrects]``. 6 notes of IS before chopoff, no finesse.
Something`s always awry at Ankara, erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** UKQOGBANI. 25900, Nov 6 at 1658, BBCWS in English from Woofferton
toward South Africa, JBA S6 direct vs S5 line noise level. Complaint
filed again to OG&E, and another 9-digit workorder assigned. This time
I had to wait and listen to their phone music and promo filler loop
for only 15 minutes instead of promised 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110, Nov 6 at 1552, JBA NBFM talk, no doubt KMK282, studio
feed from KOVR/KMAX California. A while ago found huge FCC list of
such licensees, most or all of which surely inactive, but can`t refind
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2215 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
November 5 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+17 into
nearby Noale SDR. No co-channel QRM. At same time also confirmed on
WRN Europe webcast; and on WRMI webcast-only.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 6 at 0042 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S6/S9 into Louisiana SDR after finding me JBA direct amid high line
noise level blasts.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 6 at 0415 at midpoint so started
circa 0400 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 -68 Hz, S5/S7 into NH SDR. Next:

Skedgrid atop shows until 1600 RAE in French, except Sat another hour
with TOMBS until 1700. Program sked abottom shows until 1630 before

Salmaniw says it`s HAARP testing again. I`m getting this via one of
Don Moman`s SDRs in Lamont AB; H2Ofall shows mush up to 3400, the only
two discrete signal lines JBV at 3215 WWCR, better 3330 CHU (Glenn

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, by UT Sunday November 5 at 0010, LRA36

``re-signed-on`` at 2326 Nov 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BOTSWANA. 9775, Nov 5 at 0314, rock music at S9+10/20 vs high line
noise level about the same. It`s VOA English at 03-05. VOA spends
entirely too much time playing music rather than info/news (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 11930, Nov 5 at 0650, RRI English back up to VG
S9+20/25 atop extraneous Cuban pulse jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2215 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday November 5 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, atop jamming into Missouri

7505 is R. Farda, but nowhen near this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1682.7 & 1637.3 approx., Nov 5 at 0306 UT, spurblobs from

is primarily occupied here by KWOD Kansas City KS (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 408 kHz, Nov 5 at 0311, JBA carrier detected here, most
likely JDM, 25 watts at Colby/Wheatfield, NW corner of KS, as the only
two others are in WA & AB. Only NDB I can detect vs line noise level,
except from OK 341 EI and 515 PN. At least the storm noise level has
dropped. Normally would detect 407, 25 watt HRU Herington KS, closer
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7828 USB, Nov 5 at 0319, pulsing, echoing tones are
back. Doug White previously suggested this could be experimental HF

DX/SWL/MEDIA programs will be updated on Nov 5; and WOR RADIOSKED

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 4 at 1746, no signal yet into
Argentina remote; *1748 cuts on with song as I pause for [lunch], 1822
from talk to another song, S7/S9. 1836 LRA36 ID with RAE; 1827 ID with
Universidad Nacional de Quilmes. Plug an event to take place Wed Nov 9
at 18h [21z] in some auditorium; rather than a broadcast, I think.
1831 YL with met conditions including temp range -10 to -23 C.

Recheck 2249, still on at S9/+10, and mostly music 2305+. At 2325
after music, sends Morse code: RADIO NACIONAL ARCANGEL SAN GABRIEL
---, and at 2326 ``a partir de este momento``, multi-ling ID and
pretending to sign on again; to repeat another 5+ hours? 2329, ``una
nueva emisión de `Uniendo Voces``, usual opening niceties, somehow
mentioning ``nuestras Islas Malvinas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21640.124 oscillating up to 21640.158 and down again as
measured by TWR Bonaire KiwiSDR, MiniTransAt, S6/S9, Nov 4 at 1534,
YL in French and English rankings up to 51st - I didn`t think there
were more than 30 on the first leg of the sailboat race. 1539 ``à
demain`` and music starting with EU anthem on fife, medley of many
more bits, not the classic rock tunes heard before, but must still
drive Shazaam crazy. 1559 brief announcement, James Bond theme music
until 1600* on the unstable Issoudun transmitter. However, in AM
reception mode you might not notice, they hope (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** IRAN [non]. 7590, Nov 4 at 0628, Greekish? music, something new
here, S9+10 vs intermittent line noise level of S9+20. 0630 Persianish
news about Hezbollah, clips of SOS Blinken in English. I bet it`s
Radio Farda. Yes: now listed 0230-0830 via KUWAIT. No jamming (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, Nov 4 at 0635, RNZP achieves only a JBA
carrier. Extreme variations in strength vs last time (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 15, Nov 4 at 0125 UT, astounded to see a full-blown
infomercial - on TBN?? Did KTBO ``14`` OKC pick up a wrong satellite
feed? Something about health/medicine, I guess, unknown if
gospelhuxter undertone. I *never* watch TBN, but tuning across it.
Same on cable 3 Optimum Enid. No, at 0130 TBN ID flashes and into
`GAITHER A Legacy In Music` which is scheduled per TitanTV listings at
0000-0130, 0130-0300 and 0300-0400 UT. I guess the infomercial is part
of that? I let it run on a monitor, and at 0209 another commercial!
For OMEGA-XL. I know the lines are fuzzy, witness PBS, but aren`t TBN
stations licensed as noncommercial? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960.001, Nov 4 at 2306, NO English signal from VOT,
something`s always erroneous at Emirler; instead Chinese from XJPBS,
East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs
and other Moslems, still thus at 2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 FM, Sat Nov 4 at 2017 UT, coverage of stupid ballgame,
presumably foot, clue such as ``end zone``, S5 but steady and
sufficient. No doubt KMK282, the studio audio of KOVR or KMAX,
Stockton or Sacramento CA. I`ve frequently tuned past here but first
time heard in some weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Also confirmed Saturday November 4 at 1630 on WRMI 15770, JBA S7/S8
into UTwente SDR, European target area; S5/S7 into New Hampshire SDR
but sounds much stronger.

Also confirmed Saturday November 4 at 1700 UT on WRN North America

** U S A. 5085 & 9475, WTWW still off the air and George McClintock
informs me at 15z Nov 4: Ted really left them in a mess. Engineer from
Continental is coming Nov 8-9-10 to try to fix two transmitters. He
was astounded to learn that one of them had been off the air for a

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carriers, Nov 4 at 0536, picking
some likely spots to tune USB 1 kHz below: 531, 684, 711, 774, 855,
999, 1125 - likely Algeria, Spain, Western Sahara (Glenn Hauser, OK,

UNIDENTIFIED. 7828 USB, Nov 4 at 0632, the echoey tones are back as
previously reported, S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 26220-26420 approx., Nov 4 at 2020 in bandscan, regular
pulsing maybe CODAR but seems a bit too fast for that, too slow for
OTH radar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 26375 USB, Nov 4 at 2019, 2-way in Spanish, maybe
``freebanders`` below rather than above 27 MHz CB (Glenn Hauser, OK,

UNIDENTIFIED. 35790, Nov 4 at 2022, JJBBA carrier. Checking out a tip
from Don Moman, Alberta, to the WOR iogroup that he was getting Radio
Martí, 3rd harmonic // 11930! It seems the F2 MUF is hitting 40 MHz
now, and he`s rather far from Grimesland for it to be sporadic E. To
me, Es distance would be good, but too close for F2. Harmonix tend to
favor odds or evens, so if the MUF rise further, check for X5 on
59650, which my R75 will barely tune, just below the old NTSC TV ch A2
FM audio frequency 59750. Neither he nor I were getting it there nor
on 11930 X 2 = 23860. Also check anyway X4 = 47720 (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 3 at 2201, R. Cairo, news in English, lofi and
somewhat distorted but tolerable modulation, S9+30 into UTwente.
2232-2241 Qur`aning snippets and lessoning in English, translating?
Violating Separation Of Mosque And State. After all, the Fribbath has
just passed. Distorted music, 2243 s/off, more distorted music to
2244.5 silence, to 2245* off. At least for B23, there is no more BBC
to collide on 9440 at 22-23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21640.12V, Nov 3 at 1515, JBA MiniTransAt marine weather
info from Issoudun, as always way off-frequency and constantly varying
up and down. Only other 13m signals are 21660 and 21485; see SUDAN
SOUTH [and non], and UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 9445, Nov 3 at 0649, stilted English immediately
recognizable as VOK, also distorted, S2/S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 11510, Nov 3 at 1528, talk and also
stronger 11550; I`m looking for Dengê Gel and Recep the Turkish
jammer, but EiBi shows both are R Free Asia in Korean at 15-17 via
TINIAN and SAIPAN respectively; did not realize they should be //
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 11930, Nov 3 at 0652, RRI English is JBA beneath
Cuban pulse jamming against no Martí ever at this hour (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Friday Nov 3 at 2300, token English from SNR,
timesignal, s/on with program preview, news. At 2317 it`s an interview
about the status of a lagoon at a national park in southern Spain due
to climate change, vs demands for more irrigation; S9+20/30 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 21485, Nov 3 at 1515, S6/S9 of talk but
modulation breaking up rapidly. Per EiBi this is R. Tamazuj based in
Holland, 1430-1600 via Issoudun, FRANCE. B23 Aoki misses this one
completely. To make it as obscure as possible, HFCC lists this only as
JRC in the Apd language. Only one of three 13mb signals along with
21640V also France, and 21660, see UNID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 12125, Nov 3 at 1542, S8/S9 Chinese mixing with
another lang at equal level. It`s CNR1 jamming vs RFA Tibetan at 15-16
via TINIAN. The imperialist ChiCom occupiers could at least have the
courtesy to employ Tibetan language jamming but probably from outside
Tibet due to skipzone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9700, Nov 3 at 0652, S6/S8 talk sounds more Turkish than
Japanese. TRT at 310 degrees sked 04-07; NHK at 305 degrees at 05-08
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.017, Nov 3 at *2304, VOT cuts on late, JIP
news in English, S9+30/35 into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler. I was listening from 2253 on 5960.000 to snippets of
Chinese martial music cutting on and off, i.e. PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi,
nominal start 2300 per EiBi, from EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. But once TRT is
on, it obliterates XJPBS which was only S9/+10. Almost; still audible
as an understation during pauses. Unfortunately VOT suffers from a
constant squeal, like WEWN. I`d rather not listen. In background at
2314, I recognize the 2-minute multilingual ID filler reel. By 2338
drifted to 5960.018. At 2340 I turn on UTwente`s Autonotch, but moxnix
as the squealing is not a constant pitch. Narrow filter to 2.15 kHz
rids it but makes what`s left even more lofi. 2352 s/off sked as usual
mentions only 4 *other* English broadcasts in jumbled order, never
this very one: 1330 on 13635, 1930 on 6050, 2130 on 7285, 1730 on
9660. Wait a minute: 2130 is supposed to be on 9610, while 7285 is at
0400! I bet this never gets corrected in the next pentamonth. And
still going at 2400 opening extraneous German. At 2417 I realize
that`s Chinese again instead of German, so TRT has turned off in the
last few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 356 MCW kHz, Nov 3 at 0704 UT, ND beacon ODX is JBA vs S9
line noise level here which is worst on LW, making it a struggle to
hear any beacons. 25 watts from Ord, Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 11870, Nov 3 at 1530, ``Welcome to the Voice of
America in Burmese``, i.e. Myanmarianese; S5/S6. I thought he said
Chinese but Burmese listed: one of those ``-ese`` langs. This also
explains why it`s not being jammed. Via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, of course
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2215 monitoring: confirmed Friday
November 3 at 2157 the 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+17
into nearby Noale SDR, and no CCI audible; new shifted time. However,
some storm crashes from NW Greece/SerboCroatia coast right across
Adriatic. Flooding in Tuscany must not have reached to Villa Estense.

Also confirmed Friday November 23 at 2200 first SWBC on WRMI 9955,
S9/S7 into Bonaire SDR with Cuban pulse jamming. From next week: 2300.

** U S A. 7490 -74 Hz = 7489.924, UT Sat Nov 4 from 0000, WBCQ,
S9+20/30 into Maryland SDR, a new `AAAWWW`, this time as a Christian
of Jewish heritage, Allan is heartbroken about the rise of
anti-Semitism on campuses. Wars in Ukraine and Israel: all ``because
of a stolen elexion``, Angela asserts. And Democrats = Communists =
Marxists = Satanists, right? `Bye (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1682.7 & 1637.3 approx., Nov 3 at 0700 UT, matching
spurblobs, both about 22.7 kHz from 1660, i.e. out of WTOU ``The
Touch``, Kalamazoo, as recently discussed in this IRCA thread:
https://groups.io/g/IRCA/topic/101970919
The lower one obscured here by local on 1640 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, Nov 3 at 0650, RV music S3/S4, unusually
stronger than 9955 WRMI which is a JBA carrier beneath Cuban jamming.
I`m hearing 9960 just about every night before 0700 tho not always
reported (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN [non]. 11700, Nov 3 at 1529, S Asian lang, 1529 VR IS,
S5/S7. It`s Malayalam at 1510-1530, via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES;
violating Separation Of Church And State. Why is the USG propagating
one particular RCC sect? O yeah, it`s an ``exchange`` as if USAGM need
relays via Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier check Nov 3 at 0710 UT:
JBA on 621 and 711 kHz, surely RNE Canarias and neighborly Moroccan
from occupied ``Spanish West Africa`` as in mwlist. Such ending in --1
are axually easier to spot than further splits, since the --0 N
American stations provide no splash and quieten the frequency when
tuning USB. Same would apply to those in --9 if I ever tuned in LSB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 21660, Nov 3 at 1515, algo here one of 3 sigs on 13m
besides 21485, 21640V. Aoki shows BBC Somali at 14-16 via UAE but only
on Day 7 = Saturday, and this is Friday. HFCC and EiBi show nothing
after 1500 but until then BBC Somali at 14-15 is via Vatican M-F, UAE
Sat/Sun; really, why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
