** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Nov 2 at 0217 UT, K17JN-D, 3ABN network, Enid`s
only local TV, is back on the air. I neglected to report Oct 31 at
1547 that it was totally off the air. But still, NO audio or video
modulation, just silence and black, as it had been since at least
October 7! SAWA (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 17790, Nov 2 at 1452, S7/S9 of classic rock,
WRMI warmup? NO, not yet, soon announcement in Romanian. But at *1456
WRMI comes on with IS & ID loop by ex-bishop Bob Biermann. No break or
RRI IS at 1458 as this is a HS relay until 1600, but accurate
timesignal at 1500 and more music as WRMI starts Radio Africa. Jeff &
RRI must have decided that this hour overlap between Galbeni and
Okeechobee would not be a problem in respective target areas France
and South America, and possibly it`s not, but why not avoid it anyway?

** EGYPT. 9440-V, Nov 1 at 2215, dead air at S9/+10 very slightly on
the low side correlating with R. Cairo, 9439.995 when measured
previously. But now with BFO offset, hear rapid warbling/wobbling of
transmitter. Something`s egregious in Egypt, amiss at Abis (Glenn

discussion of populism. See also USA: WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

EAST TURKISTAN. I`m also monitoring SPAIN elsewhere and did not notice
exactly when VOT cut on but there it is at 2303 with news and also
within 1 Hz of accuracy. Tho S9+30/40, there is still lite QRM from
the understation, i.e. CCCCCCI = Chinese Communist Chinese Language
Co-Channel Interference. 2319 `Gripping Piles` on whether
procrastination is a disease or just laziness; 2323 multi-lingual ID
filler reel; 2325 `Weekly Commentary` by some prof about Palestine vs
Israel. 2352 s/off sked claims to have English at 02-03 & 07-08
``UTC`` to N America, but those are really UT+3 local times! Yet the
clueless announcer concludes that the ``23-00``and ``04-05``

restart IS now with German IDs inserted. Here we go again. 0000 still
going with sign-on in German with same news sounder we hear in

** U S A. 5800, Nov 1 at 0202, two American accented guys chat about
nuclear power, thorium, type II diabetes. I`m checking this WRMI to
reconfirm whether still relaying KBS World Radio via WRN, but this is
not that, nor any station with news on hour. Did not get ID but find
out later. 0230 recheck, NHK World Radio Japan is starting `Newsline`.
In A23 this was on WRN at 0130 UT.

Therefore, WRN North America stream has already moved everything an
hour later, as if *we* were already off DST, causing needless
confusion. And before it at 0200 was Deutsche Welle. KBS hour now
starts at 03 instead of 02 - but WRMI WRN relay block remains at
02-03, whatever it may contain. No doubt the same shift apply to any
other WRN relay blox on WRN, e.g. Israel had been at 2330 on 7570, now
out of it at 0030.

WRMI skedgrid shows the following World Radio Network times on SW
[more in internet only], never with any content details, and barring
any deliberate changes to compensate, all stay at the same UT as
before except for the one on 9955. Investigate what`s really in them
now, guided by the outdated WRN A23 program sked, adding one real UT
hour to it:

MiniTransAt temporary transmission from Issoudun. This is varying

** ROMANIA [and non]. 11930, Oct 30 at 0646, RRI English is being
jammed. They were foolish enough to assume a R. Martí frequency would
be OK at other hours, unaware that the fiendish Cubans would be
jamming it up to 24/7. HFCC shows no others fall into the 11930 trap,
just the 0630-0700 English from Galbeni for W Europe. RM OCB
registered 14-24 at 184 degrees from Grimesland, 00-01 at 183 degrees:

time and frequency; this early in season, greatly inferior on the
ATS-909 portable to how 17855 previously arrived at 2200 in A23. But
the NRD-545 with longwire gets it just fine, S9+15/30, much better
than 12030, and VP on 17715, inaudible on 17755. Maryland SDR also
gets 9690 VG S9+20/30. 2309 interview with an EU spoxeperson in
Brussels about being wary of fake news. 2322 about Spain`s first and
only astronaut who launched on October 29, 1998. 2328 wrapup about
Rocky Horror Pixure Show, for Hallowe`en (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Oct 29 at 2318, VOT English confirmed on new B23
frequency and new time 23 instead of 22 UT due to irrelevant end of
DST in Europe, not Turkey. VP here, not enough to overcome my high
line noise level imposed by OG&E.

5960 again Oct 30, no contest vs simulEnglish from SPAIN, q.v. But
doing well into Maryland SDR, 2330 haunting Turkish song, S7/9+5. 2334
`New Day, New Choices` about dietary benefits of eating eggs, S9+25/40
into UTwente on 5960.005; 2338 always-by-your-side promo, another
song. But do I now hear a trace of understation CCI?

Yes, HFCC shows CNR Urumqi at 2330-1800, 100 kW ND in the Zho language
-? Must not mean Chinese since there is a nearby entry as Chi. Look at
the HUGE language abbr. file among the HFCC zippery -- it`s about the
same size as the schedules, with countless tongues never heard of and
certainly never on SW, even considering rabid evangelism of cultural
genocide. Zho *does* mean Chinese and there is no ``Chi`` between Chh
for Chinook and Chj for Ojitlán Chinantec. There are also countless
abbrs. starting with Z for names with no Z in them. 2343 `Did You Know
That` Turkey participated for first time in Olympix, Paris, 1924y.
2352 s/off and IS for a while, but off before German IDs can start
after 2356 and uncovering that Zho station: which should not be a QRM
problem in North America. Std denunciation re E Turkistan (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125.019, Oct 30 at 0420, VOT English on new B23 frequency
for NAm and new time, S9+20/35 into Georgia SDR but with constant
squeal. At 0432 direct, same squeal, S9+20 but insufficient vs my high
line noise level bursts. No contest vs simulEnglish from ROMANIA, q.v.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKQOGBANI. 25900, Oct 30 at 1604, JBA carrier direct vs S6/S7 local
noise level, from daring new 11m service of BBCWS in English. Barely
better at Maryland SDR, S3/S5. At 1605 I bring up the target area SDR
at TWR RSA: S7/9+5, usable but hardly solid with fades. By 1658 it`s
peaking S9+10. 1700 timesignal and continues rather than off: I
thought it was for one hour only but HFCC now shows 16-18, 125 kW, 165
degrees from a Woofferton semi-transmitter. I keep an ear on it for
rest of hour; by 1754 fading down to S7 until 1759.5* (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 11810, Oct 30 at 0645 BBCWS newsy in English, S7/S9,
this hour only ASCENSION, 125 kW at 65 degrees; vs line noise level
here of S6/S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28208.2, Oct 29 at 2204, beacon with two alternating IDs:
certainly sounds like one transmitter on exactly same frequency and
never overlapping, with VVV VVV: WN2A/B, and AK2F/B. Yes: WI5V roster
shows: ``28.2082 WN2A/AK2F C BUDD LAKE/RANDOLPH, NJ # 4W, VERTICAL
(alternating ID).`` But why? As usual these days the beacon band is
full of signals, so I just pick one, hoping eventually to hear
something outside of North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11720, Oct 29 at 2143, VOA Grimesland reactivated here for
B23, country music loud & clear off the back. This is a VOA music hour
which presumably still includes `Music Time in Africa` Fridays at
2105, our best chance to hear it instead of weak 15580 via Botswana.
Does the hostess still never mention this time for it? Have not
searched new sked, but normally this is the *only* VOA English hour
surviving out of Grimesland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2214 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
October 29 at 2100 ex-2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+15
into nearby SDR, atop some CCI talk, can`t make out language, but
Hungarian from Romania or something schedule also probably shifted an
hour later.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 30 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+5 into
Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 30 from 0301, S9+5/15 on Area 51 via
