** CHINA [and non]. 11895, Oct 4 at 0640, S1/S3 direct, mixture of two
signals with beat, so this time it`s CNR1 jamming plus RFA Mandarin
via SAIPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 11860, Oct 4 at 1457, R. Martí with whine QRM, more
of a problem here than Cuban noise jamming, i.e. the defective Sa`udi
transmitter of Republic of Yemen Radio; no doubt assisting the Cuban
jammers in the target area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Oct 4 at 1454, JBA music, presumably
current frequency for Recep`s Turkiyeish jamming and/or Dengê Gel, via
Uzbekistan? On interior longwire due to storming (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Oct 4 at 2208 after news, token English from SNR,
feature interview about an exhibition on ``Feminine Power in Art and
Belief``. VG direct, others 17715, 15520, 11670 hardly usable (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 4 at 2202 & 2230 chex, NO signal direct from
VOT English; something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2210 monitoring: NOT confirmed,
Tuesday October 3 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, rather 2-month-old #2202 from
early August! WRMI`s new server setup began Oct 2, and was supposedly
going to continue airing latest 2210. The previous airing at 0030 Oct
3 was also #2202 as noted by Richard Lemke.

``9395 kHz, an Old edition of WOR is played, S9 signal, static QRN,
0032, 0034, 0045 (45443), 0059, October 3 UTC 2023 [Tue]

Beginning UT Oct 4, I have made sure the remaining airtimes are really
latest 2210.

** U S A. 5085, Oct 4 at 0000, no signal yet from WTWW, supposed to
reactivate now; but *0010 cuts on JIP PPP SFA. For some reason,
Maryland SDR will not synch on it, But NH SDR displays frequency
within 0.5 Hz. Tuning direct it`s VG and also has reactivated JBA spur
carriers approx. plus/minus 12.9 kHz = 5072.1 & 5097.9, negligible but
utenoise circa 5098 might have a complaint about it. George McClintock
tells me there were more startup problems with program feed, and
Bishop Bob Biermann would not start yet tonight. Indeed, WTWW ID at
0100* and off.

Similar report: ``Hi Glenn! I sat on 5085 kHz on Oct 4 at 0000 UTC
waiting for WTWW to sign on. Not hearing anything, I thought once
again the station was having some issue getting on the air, so I tuned
out at 0005. I tuned back in at 0013 and the Pastor Pete Peters Show
was already in progress. At 0100, a male announcer read a five-second
ID “This is WTWW, Lebanon, Tennessee, USA”, which was followed by ten
seconds of guitar picking, perhaps an intro into a new program, before
the signal abruptly ended. I tuned out at 0102. Steve Howe, Saint
Albans, Vermont``

24 hours later, UT Oct 5 at 0000, standing by 5085 again for WTWW, no
signal yet; still nothing by 0010 as I wrap up this report (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 4 at 0627, S9+20 of dead air again from WRNO,
maybe will revive later with Mandarin as has been reported. One
wonders what kind of audience they expect on 20 degree beam, still
available 22-16, and never-used 15590 at 16-22 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Oct 4 at 1820 UT, I`m QRX for the much publicized nationwide
emergency alert test: tuned to 91.7 KOSU, 740 KRMG, 12160 WWCR. First
heard on 91.7 saying it runs from 2:20 to 2:40 pm Eastern; a few sex
later on 740; 550 KFRM slow on uptake if ever; not heard interrupting
a SW station -- who cares about that?! However, it was over in much
less than a minute, stations resuming programming, as I hurriedly
scanned some other AM stations. As for what happened on cell phones, I
have no idea. Big deal? TV also on some cable channel, unknown as
can`t monitor everything at once. However, Optimum had warned us
yesterday this was coming and might have to reset cable tuners. There
was no real-time msg about this in my email inboxes, nor spam folders
-- who cares? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0013 UT October 5

** CHINA [non?]. 11895, Oct 3 at 0638, Chinese at S6/S9. This is a
regular around this hour bandscanning, so I finally look it up: RFA
via SAIPAN at 03-07 per EiBi, of course also CNR1 jamming. In this
case suspect it`s really Saipan, do not hear a second signal, but if
there be timepips at hourtop 0600 or 0700, it will be CNR1 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11520, Oct 3 at 1524, JBA signal[s], nothing else
in the 11.5s, presumably the Turco/Kurdo radio war (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Oct 3 circa 1530, the high line noise level has
diminished and become more intermittent, cutting on and off. Still
worse around 7 MHz than higher bands. In previous report about signals
breaking thru it, R. Martí, after 0600, should read 7335 & 7435, not
7365 & 7465 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, Oct 3 at 2200, VOT not off the air today, S9+35
into UTwente, at first not too distorted; after news, 2211 `Review of
the Turkish Press`; 2212 ``with you every hour`` promo; 2213 music;

badax, ``penned`` by undecipherable name, now also heavy distortion,
something referring to history in the 90s: I give up trying to
understand it. 2224 `every hour` promo *again*. 2225 distorted music.

replies:

``Correct. In fact, these days, as I understand it, Mlle is deprecated

** U S A. 4840, UT Mon Oct 2 at 0500, this WWCR goes from VORW to
quick ID to: Arabic! again at another of the scheduled times for `Your
Firm Foundation`, as first encountered in Arabic at 1530 Saturday on
13845. As I said then, nothing on WWCR sked or program website about
anything in Arabic. I listen closely to the opening, but no
recognizable English words of introduxion, rather right into a dialog,
seems drama also with musical background, including at 0505, ``Allah
Akhbar`` repeated -- better watch out, this is allegedly a Christian
station!

Still no Oct 1 program sked update posted -- until recheck at 2220.
Now labeled Oct 1 but same listings for this as in Sept except
2105-2200 Wed on 9350 rather than 2100- once I have corrected their UT

** U S A. 9980, Mon Oct 2 at 1526, WWCR-4 is off the air, contrary to

i.e. erroneous for 16-20 real UT, while TOMBS was supposed to be ON,
M-F at 14-16 real UT. Ditto on the just `updated` Oct 1 sked.
Something`s wacko at Walterboro and/or notvoicing via Nashville (Glenn

weather quoting numerous coördinates in Pacific Ocean, somewhat
overmodulated / distorted, as so often the case with USCG
transmitters; can`t they do better? EiBi shows NMO Honolulu at
0600-0635. 6501 is timeshared with other USCGs: NMN Chesapeake VA, NRV
Guam, NOJ Kodiak. Only other time for NMO is 1200-1235; but `shares`
may overlap, like: NMN until -0615, -1215. Do they coördinate in real
time to avoid that?

Also VFF Iqaluit, Canada could use 6501 anytime, via 3 different
sites:
cb-Cambridge Bay, Victoria Island NU 69N06'53"-105W01'11"
hr-Hay River 60N50'27"-115W46'12"
in-Inuvik NWT 68N19'33"-133W35'53"
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Sept 30 at 1527, JBA, only signal in the
11.5s, presumably current spot for the Turco/Kurdo radio war between
Recep the jammer and Dengê Gel via Uzbekistan? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)fs

** LIBERIA. 6050, Sept 30 at 0621, JBA carrier now tho none recently
in regular bandscans, ergo ELWA, as Manuel Méndez has just reported in
the WOR iogroup: ``Log in Reinante, NW of Spain, Sangean ATS-909X,
Tecsun PL-880, cable antenna, 8 meters. 6050, ELWA Radio, Monrovia,
*0557-0611, 29-09, interval signal, identification at 0559: "Good
Morning this is ELWA Radio ....", English religious comments and
songs. Reactivated after about three months out of the air. 15421``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Sept 29 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG direct
into portable DX-398 with a few feet of clipon. 2205 feature is about
paella since Sept 20 was World Paella Day: interview with a Spanish
chef now dishing it out in USA; 2212 next subject is wines, interview
about Galicia. Late in the semihour I discover somewhat better
reception on 15520 beamed the wrong way -- about same strength but
less fading than 17855. Likely more and more the case in darkening
October until drop to 9690 at monthend (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWITZERLAND [and non]. Chris Mackerell, NZ replies to my last
report about DRM: ``Yes, stereo is available in DRM and has been for
many years, but of course requires more bits than mono, so needs
better reception conditions. Back around ~2005 DW DRM broadcasts from
Sines were often in stereo and provided some very good reception here
in
New Zealand. KTWR has also done some excellent tests in stereo in the
past. Cheers, Chris`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Sept 29 at 2200 and several further chex, nothin`
but noise into DX-398 portable with reelout. If really on the air --
and a good ~30% chance it`s not -- it may as well not be, insofar as
reaching a CNAm target. Did not get to computer in time to check it at
UTwente, but by 2320 or so, definitely not providing any extra German.
Quite the contrary with reception from SPAIN, q.v.

11785, Sept 30 at 2158, VOT not off the air, S9+20 into UTwente with
IS & English IDs. Timesignal way early by ~half a minute before 2200
and s/on. Overmodulated and distorted, much worse on music. After news
dated today, 2213 travelog about Sakarya again; 2220 multi-lingual ID
filler reel, music; 2227 always-by-your-side promo; 2228 Geomarked
Products about tomato seeds, music; 2233 with-you-24-hours promo; 2234
`Gripping Piles`; mostly music; 2252 canned s/off, 2253 IS. 2255
restart IS, but chopoff before any spurious German IDs (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. The blasting high line noise level I was complaining about
has diminished somewhat but not eliminated. Not sure if this result
from any OG&E effort. Now it`s more sporadic bursting than continuous.
Unrelated, but my Icom ICR-75 is now sidelined as its audio output is
no longer normal even after warmup or leaving it on continually. The
JRC NRD-545 is now my primary rx, using the same 100` E/W longwire as
the Icom, u.o.s. Frequency measurements to 3 decimal places not
practical, only 2 at most. Noise level is still worst on LW, S7/S9,
but slight lowering again JB audiblizes fringe NDBs in the daytime
beyond Oklahoma, Sept 30 at 1539:
332 kHz MCW, IC, Wichita KS, listed 400 watts
395 kHz MCW, CA, Newton/Harvs KS, 25 watts
407 kHz MCW, HRU, Herington KS, 25 watts
I`ll know things are again close to normal if I can hear in daytime:
293 kHz MCW, FBY, Fairbury NE, 25 watts just beyond Kansas.
I am still not hearing 255 kHz MCW, SW, Stillwater OK. If really on as
some allege, must be on reduced power from listed 25 watts
That leaves the only day audible Okies:
341 kHz MCW, EI, Enid, 25 watts but JBA despite proximity
515 kHz MCW, PN, Ponca City, 25 watts but always much stronger than
anything lower on MW or LW - maybe partly due to better receiver
sensitivity and shorter antenna (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2210 monitoring: confirmed Sept 29
NEW time of Friday 2200 on WRMI 9955, JBA on portable DX-398 with
reel-out clipon, but sufficient to recognize. Hope reception better
elsewise and elsewhere. Carrier seemed to be on already at 2151; music
at 2153, but not the IS & ID loop to ``top of hour``; 2159 canned
`WNYW` style ID and 2200 WOR theme. Tnx, Jeff, for another airtime.

Also confirmed UT Saturday September 30 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+40
into Georgia SDR. As often, a bit of extraneous music between ID and
my opening.

Confirmed Saturday September 30 at 1600 on WRN N America webcast.

** U S A. WBCQ `AAAWWW` check on webcast, UT Sat Sept 30 at 0000;
interrupts `WTO` theme early. 0004 says trimulcasting on 7490, 5130
and 3265 --- what about 6160-? Yes, something else, `The Intelligence
Report` at 0006 check. What does the program sked show on 6160 at
00-01 UT Sat? still `AAAWWW`. Only time listed for I.R. there is 00-01
UT Tue on 7490. I check the offsets into NH SDR: 6160 -68 Hz =
6159.932; 7490 -74 Hz = 7489.926; 5130 +186 Hz = 5130.186; and 3265
+128 at first but steadily updrifting in a few minutes to +177 where
it slows down; by 0034 down to +133 descending slowly. Meanwhile Allan
was fiddling with phone lines, musing about UFOs and AI, with ``my
beautiful wife`` Angela on remote while he`s in MC, meaning Monticello
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13845, Sat Sept 30 at 1531, astounded to hear Arabish on
WWCR-3! YL speaking, bit of music, then OM presumably sermonizing.
What does program sked show? STILL with wrong UT conversion times, 6
hours instead of 5 ahead of Central! No hint of anything non-English!
Since we know `The Talking Machine Show` is really at 17 UT Sats on
WWCR-2 12160, as we listen to it every week, including later today,
this means the Central times are correct if assumed CDT rather than
CST, and all the UTs in the right column SHOULD read one hour earlier.
This `international` SW station on air for sesqui-decades still hasn`t
understood UT. But if no correxions be made, will again become
accurate from Nov to Mar! Unless we be forced to stay on DST: how is
that legislation going? More important matters right now.

Anyhow, sked at 10-11 am CT Sats on 13845 is: `Your Firm Foundation`
with Frank Ricks -- so is that what`s in Arabic, or is it something
completely different? There are 5 other times for that title on the
sked, so check if they be Arabish: Fri 1230-1300 on 15825; Wed
2100-2200 on 9350; Sat 2200-2300 on 9350; Sun 2300-2400 on 9350; Mon
0500-0600 on 4840. Still dated as of Sept 1, but should soon get
another update as of Oct 1. At the obvious program website I see
nothing about non-English, nor anything about being on SW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Sept 30 at 0645, S9+5, enough signal to discern that
RV is modulating (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 13830, Sat Sept 30 at 1529, VR ``Christus Vincit`` IS,
1530 ``Laudetur Iesus Christus``, s/on in Amharic mentions Ethiopia,
then some Horn-of-Afric-ish music; S7/S9, the SSOB = strongest signal
on band, except for North Americans, 13605, 13845. One more instance
of SMG`s ability to send bigsigs in the opposite direxion - are they
really 180 degrees off, or merely with no screening to diminish
back-lobe radiation? 1530 bc HFCC-registered as 250 kW at 98 degrees!
That`s way off, toward Persian Gulf & Sri Lanka. Another anomaly:
Ethiopia is more like 140 degrees. 13830 has lots more for EAf in
store, various languages after 1600 via Madagascar instead, in which
case we would get overspill from its forward beam; and 17-19 back to
SMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17790, Sept 30 at 0131 check, again no signal into Utah
SDR, rather than PanAm from WRMI? as heard 48 hours ago (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
