** CANADA. 2598 USB, Nov 13 at 0745 UT, synthYL with marine weather,
S5/S3. Sounds like same on 2749 USB, but both too weak to try to // as
synchro on second receiver. Per dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm, starting at
0737 on 2598 is VCP-4, Placentia NL, 3000 watts; and from 0740 on
2749, VCO Sydney NS, 550 watts, both as first broadcasts of a new
morning, at 4:07 am in NL, 3:40 am in NS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 10080, Nov 13 at 0756, RHC is here! S4/S8 in Spanish; in a
routine check for possible harmonic of Vanuatu 5040, which is still a
JBA carrier, surely not Cuba there. The sloppyrators at Bauta must
have accidentally tuned up the 5040 transmitter to its second
harmonic! With all others off by 0759, will Esperanto show here at
0800? NO, RHC news sounder and news in Spanish past 0805 when I zonk.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, UT Sun Nov 13 at 0751, RHC English is still on in jazz
show featuring a familiar Brazilian YL singer, S7/S9 but
undermodulated; and also on 6060, S8/S9 with better mod and some hum.
So all set for weekly Sunday Esperanto at 0800? NO, both are off by
0759, while 10080 continues in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Sunday Nov 13 at 1600 RHC Spanish ID, theme, to
continue on 15140 & 11760 & FM only; 1601 opening weekly Esperanto,
with schedule still claimed to be Sun 0800 on 6100, 1600 on 11760
only, and 2330 on 15730. Has RHC put up a B-22 sked by now? Of course
not! Now TWO YEARS OLD, B-20 skeds, in Spanish:
https://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/frecuencias

HORARIOS, BANDAS Y FRECUENCIAS EN ESPAÑOL
PERIODO NOVIEMBRE 2020/MARZO 2021
CAMBIO DE HORARIO Y FRECUENCIA 17 DE NOVIEMBRE

And note the late effective date, so when in 2022?

Likewise the English sked:
https://www.radiohc.cu/en/de-interes/frecuencias
And Esperanto:
https://www.radiohc.cu/eo/de-interes/frecuencias

Something`s always wrong at RHC. Also, listening to first few minutes,
I catch them in Spanish-influenced stressmistakes: ``Amériko`` and
``polítiko`` instead of Ameríko and politíko`` -- and this will be
nonsense if an editor strip my accents off these; for clarity as in
Esp`o, everything is penultimate with no acutes required (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13567, 13633, 13767, 13834 approx., Nov 13 at 1517, RHC
spurblobs out of 13700 transmitter which is only S2/S4 itself. The
difficult to pinpoint broadband blobs suffer from extremely distorted
modulation, F#? tone. Same thing was happening last night out of q.v.
13740, no doubt same defective Bauta transmitter. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [non]. 15160, Nov 13 at 1523, good signal in unknown
language. EiBi shows at 1500-1600 it`s Dimtse Woyane in TIG = Tigrinya
via Issoudun, FRANCE; subject to Ethiopian DRMish noise jamming, but
none audible here now.

From http://www.eibispace.de/dx/README.TXT
info about lang. abbrs. confusingly in two different systems:

TIG Tigrinya/Tigray: Ethiopia (4m), Eritrea (3m) [tir]
TGR Tigre/Tigré/Tigrawit: Eritrea (1m) [tig]
On the right in [brackets] the ISO 639-3 (SIL) language code for
reference. For more information on language [abc] visit
https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/abc
I wonder how different be TIG and TGR. SIL = Summer Institute of
Linguistix, gospel huxters but with remarkable language work (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. New WORLD OF RADIO schedule on WRN: See USA
[and non]

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 13 at 0736, no signal from R. Kiribati,
presumably another silent Sunday night. No other 9/kHz split carriers
audible either, TP or TA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15605, Nov 13 at 1522, S6/S9 in unknown language. EiBi
shows at 1500-1530 it`s AWR in MZ to NIn = MZ Mizo / Lushai:
India-Mizoram (0.7m) [lus], and nothing else anywhen on 15605 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sun Nov 13 at 0156, tune in this WRMI for
`Encore` at 0200 but classical music is already playing: I had
forgotten that the 01-02 schedule would stick rather than shift an
hour later on this System -- presumably it`s `Encore` as what else
would be classical on WRMI! There is no spoken outro as Brice Avery
always closes out before playing the last piece. Then to my surprise,
after ID, `Encore` starts -- again, at 0200 instead of scheduled
`Teachers Corner` -- mistake or deliberate? Anyhow, I can hear the
whole hour now and it matches the Nov 12 Playlist. What will happen
next week? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Nov 13 at 0750, JBA carrier presumed SIBC,
even weaker than 5040 Vanuatu; in the convenient absence of both
Cubans from 5025 & 5040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WRN provides the correct new times for WORLD OF
RADIO via satellite and streaming. AAP = Africa/Asia/Pacific. The 0230
UT Sunday time I have also confirmed. These have already been
integrated into:

** VANUATU. 5040, Nov 13 at 0638, JBA carrier here and not 7260, so
must be R. Vanuatu, in absence of CUBA [q.v. which IS on 10080!]. At
0733 slightly stronger JBAC on 5040 and no signals on 7890 or 11835,
so unusually this time must not have switched to 3945++ at 0700. By
0750, trace of modulation on 5040, not just carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

This report dispatched at 1933 UT November 13

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 12 at 1456 nothing yet into
Argentine SDR from LRA36, but it cuts on at 1458.6 midsong at S5/S7 --
but cuts off the air already at 1505.4 before anything be spoken.
Usually it never comes back, so after 1508, I suspend, as anyway it`s
breakfast time. However, 1526 recheck it`s back on talking about a
fiesta `tomorrow`; 1530 about folklore and 1536 el costumbre argentino
de fútbol; same stuff heard on Wed Nov 9; 1553 ``nos une`` ID; 1556
about Córdoba province; 1600 music; 1603 ID with ``Nacional, la radio
pública``; 1617 again about the fiesta, will report about it next
week; 1618 song; 1622 ID with staff names, which funxions as s/on/off
without any explicity, a bit more music to 1623* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** BRAZIL. 5938.313, Nov 12 at 0726, Brazuguese, R. Voz Missionária
facilitated by a weakened 5935 WWCR as ``skip is long``. So I measure
their other frequency too and find it unstable, varying audibly circa
9664.03, S7/S9 just as at 0731 ID for ``5940`` with its power.

9664.10, Nov 12 at 2246, RVM in Portuguese at S9+20 with het (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28447 USB, Nov 12 at 2227, PP5BT calling CQDX; QRZ.com:
PP5BT Brazil flag Brazil
Rodrigo Gonçalves, Rua Alfonso Nicolao Bornhofen, 163, Blumenau, SC
89032452, Brazil -- among several DX phone sigs on 10m, but no beacons
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9900, Nov 12 at 2247, double Chinese echo, S9+15 = CNR1
jammers against RTI. No sign of Cairo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Nov 12 at 2230, no signal from RHC where English used
to be, nor found anywhere else in scans of all bands.

11850, Nov 12 at 2242, S7/S9 of dead air except for some hum, maybe
trace of modulation, usual for this RHC Spanish frequency.

13608 approx., Nov 12 at 2235, extremely distorted RHC Spanish
wideband spurblob, FMish with F# tone. Then I look for others: 13673,
S9+12; 13808-13811, 13887 weak. Source has to be only active AM
transmitter on band, 13740, which is clear at S9+20. Displacement
range is 67-73 kHz and multiples. Somethings` always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9870, Nov 12 at 0735 expressive M&M conversation
in Korean, so informal it could not possibly be from the North: yes,
it`s KBSWR at 07-08 via Woofferton UK. Caught one English word go by,
``invisible`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. This explains my hearing Chinese on 11620 a while
ago at 1500+ -- mixed up with their simulservice on 7630, likely same
secret site. Nothing is listed anywhere near 7630.

``TVOM Voice of the Martyrs - Chinese program (site?), on 7630, on Nov

`Saturday Night` show, much better than last night (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.935, Nov 12 at 0634, VON S9/+10 direct but JBM, first
time heard for quite a while; tnx to Manuel Méndez report that it was

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Nov 12 at 2232, S8/S9 pirate rocker vs
noise level of S7/S8. Multiple reports here of R Free Whatever:

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2164 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday November 12 at 0130 on WRMIs: into KFS SE antenna SDR in
California, 5850 VG S9+15/30, and 15770, S9+5/25.

Also confirmed UT Saturday November 12 at 0500 ex-0400 on WBCQ Radio
Angela, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday November 12 at 1700 on WRN N America webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday November 12 until 2103.5 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO, so started circa 2034, S9+20 into nearby SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday November 12 at 2100 on WRN stream for Europe,
but *not* to N America, rather KBS World Radio, which on the A22
schedule still displayed, was at 2200 UT. I have enquired about this
contradictory info. This also calls into question what happen 24 hours
later on Sunday; and for the other listed airing which was at 1230 UT

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Nov 12 after 0100, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`,
elexion discussion, so not a repeat, politix I can forego, so recheck
at 0142 datestamp as 11 of Nov, YOOLF 2022, trimulcasting on 7490,
6160 and 5130; 0147 some items from Free Radio Weekly which he and I
have just received from this week`s editor, Larry Will. 0148 he
mentions me who ``doesn`t have a life`` -- or was it, wife?? in
response to my numerous non-logs of SuperStition 9330 -- problem seems
to be computer control which could not bring up the high voltage.
Rails against c.c. of transmitters rather than traditional analog
electro/mechanical operation. Unfortunately, AW has moved his show one
hour later so it conflicts with WOR already at 0130 on WRMI 5850 &
15770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12160, Sat Nov 12 at 1800, WWCR with `Talking [sic] Machine
Show`, mostly ancient cylinder-recorded music. One episode starts,
then cut to a different episode restart. New sked dated Nov 6 still
shows this the only airtime on the 4 transmitters available 24/7.
Surely could be fit in as filler elsewhen. One of few shows ever worth
hearing on WWCR, and certainly the only one of their own produxions.
Ex-1700 during DST season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260 & 5040, Sat Nov 12 at 0638, no signal from RV on
either likely fundamental. At 0737, no signals either on harmonix 7890
& 11835. Gary Pence agrees, nothing at 0752 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5814 USB, Nov 12 at 0724, JBA 2-way not Spanish, maybe
Portuguese or Italian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0026 UT November 13

** CANADA. 2749-USB, Nov 11 at 0725 UT, two different stations, same
YL robovoice with marine weather in English, QRMing each other at same
level; sometimes a few seconds apart, othertimes not matching. My
first log of the season of Coast Guard broadcasts. Checking
https://www.dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
this frequency applies only to Metarea 4, but nothing scheduled at
this hour, the closest being VCO Sydney NS, 550 watts from 0740z in
EE/FF. They do switch to French with a ``securité`` advisory, so maybe
a special transmission; and then both are gone at 0727*. The other
stations on frequency which are supposed to alternate at numerous
times rather than clashing! are VAR-9 at Yarmouth(Halifax), VCN at
Escoumins, and VCS-21 Halifax. This info may be outdated as top of
page is dated 2020-05-13. Nothing on the NL-area channel now,
2598-USB. Hepburn replies ``Most likely a warning broadcast on
receipt. William`` --- so I guess with such urgency they don`t care
whether they QRM each other or not --- but rather self-defeating. I
hope everyone survived (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9330, Fri Nov 11 at 0716, dead air soon occupied by
Spy Numbers, so WBCQ/WLCR is off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Nov 11 at 0720, S7/S9 open carrier with hum, must be
lingering RHC, and on no other frequency. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7295, Fri Nov 11 at 1817, IRRS via Bulgaria with
`Radio Curious` interview about ``tapping my own phone``, in the spot
where WOR used to be; as heard via UTwente. Rather than fragment,
occupies full semihour until 1846 PSAs for SmokeyBear and COVIDmasks,
1847 Willie Nelson, ``I`ll Fly Away`` and more music. Here it is:
http://www.radiocurious.org/2022/11/04/ron-whitehead-sarah-elizabeth-beat-poets-of-kentucky-2
1854 birdcalls open `TUC Radio` which is bound to be chopped off
shortly, at 1857* but carrier and loudulation from CGTN Radio start on
7295 already at *1856; 1858 with US stock market info! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MALI. 15125, Nov 11 at 1616, S9/S8 with romantic song or hymn? but
in Chinese. By 1620 YL in Arabic. This is CRI Arabic via Bamako at
16-17, 100 kW at 85 degrees, to be followed at 17-18 by Swahili at 111
degrees. Yet it`s the SSOB comparable only to 15140 Cuba less
modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, November 11 at 0713, JBA carrier no doubt the
new frequency of RNZP, ex-13730 which had interference problems, as
frequency manager Adrian Sainsbury had notified us a few hours before.
Unfortunately conditions are very bad tonight with nothing else on 13
MHz band, making this the OSOB and SSOB! I was hoping he could justify
going down to 11 MHz band which would be better for the extra N
American audience beyond. Website sked now:

06:59-12:58 13755 AM from 11 Nov Pacific Mon - Sun
08:59-12:58 13755 AM from 11 Nov NW Pacific Vanuatu Solomon Isl PNG
Mon - Fri

Thus on Mon-Fri only the last four hours are on a dual/split antenna,
both NNE and NW, so the signal may be weaker thisaway? HFCC azimuths
are 35 and 325 degrees. 13755 no doubt chosen as an open frequency,
however with considerable Asian adjacencies on 13750 & 13760 tho not
audible here, yet, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 25, KWTV-DT ``9``, CBS from OKC, UT Friday November 11
from 0430 UT is just fine direct to my antenna, fortunately, since
``Optimum`` ex-Suddenlink cable has replaced it with tone and color
bars, the 3/4 variety, with a floating white rectangle in the center!
Thus subscribers without antennas are deprived of Colbert, `Late Show`,
then the `Late2` show and beyond, still not restored by 0700 when we
quit; but back the next morning. No other OKC channels appeared to be
blocked on cable. What could explain this? And the floating rectangle?
And how could one calculate the value of such an outage to claim a
rebate? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Fri Nov 11 at 2315, token English from REE is
interviewing someone who is campaigning to Free the Dolphins from
captivity in aquaria and zoos - no excuse, they are not endangered and
such intelligent beings should not be encarcerated. At the end her
name sounds like Olivia Malo? or Mandel? I`m listening off the back of
the ME beam which is reaching Maryland SDR just fine. So is the NAm
frequency 9690 but there is heavy clicking QRM over it, like OTH
radar: see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 11 at 2330, VOT in `Feeling Supreme` with some
kind of advice; 2339 `Did You Know That`, something about Atatürk. VG
modulation this time and S9+30/40 into UTwente, but with some CCI from
understation, PBS Xinjiang, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom
genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. 2352 sign-off now has the
UTimes correctly. 2354 fragment of IS, and off* uncovering XJPBS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2164 monitoring: confirmed first
broadcast, UT Friday November 11 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9 but JBA in
high local noise level. I hope the signal be usable somewhere,
presumably on antenna aimed SW from FL, like Central America where
there are no SDRs to check it. Also, as always on this System,
starting exactly the same time as WOR playback is a loud noise burst
atop for about 15 seconds, obviously a defect at WRMI.

Also confirmed Friday November 11 at 1530 ex-1430 on WRMI 9955, S9/S5
and no jamming audible; off the air after 1600.

Also confirmed Friday November 11 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1323 kHz, S9+10/15 into nearby Noale SDR with little QRM except for a
fast SAH. Preceding show was `Shortwave Report` from California, but
chopped off before final item could complete, IRRS ID and WOR. Next:

** U S A. 15750-15755-15760, Nov 11 at 1617, WINB DRM, now with DRM
noise on the lower half, other secret beepery on upper half, opposite
of usual configuration. Then after 1630 I try to decode it via Kansas
City SDR, but not enough signal to hear. Does display: ``1AAC (1001))
WINB EE? audio 8.28 kbps``

This flip was originally reported Oct 26: ``There are two separate
elements when tuning through the digital WINB signal: The DRM "roar"
as well as a "buzzwhine" that is presumably the trading data. For
quite some time the DRM was on the low frequency side of the signal,
but on recent checks it is now on the high side, as the two
datastreams have swapped places. Wonder why? Stephen Luce, Houston,
Texas`` To which I replied at that time: ``??? As far as I have
noticed the DRM roar has always been on WINB`s high side`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Regarding WTWW and Scriptures for America, I came across
this rather negative resumé about SFA and PPPP, altho it does not get
into the SW broadcasting angle:
https://www.encyclopedia.com/politics/legal-and-political-magazines/scriptures-america

Also, characterizing SFA as ``owner`` of WTWW may have been an
exaggeration. Wikipedia goes into its history, already in the past
tense with latest developments of Nov. 9-10, 2022:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTWW

Pertinent excerpts: ``...programming from the Scriptures for America
broadcast network, part of a long-term leasing agreement that
continued throughout WTWW's existence.[citation needed]``

``Owner --- Ted Randall and Holly Misslin (Leap of Faith, Inc.)``

However: ``I am President of Leap of faith, Inc. owner. George
McClintock, 11-11-2022``, he tells me.

WRTH 2022 page 511 lists the ``L.P.: Pres (Leap of Faith, Inc.) George
V. McClintock; Engineer: Ted Randall``. So it looks like a
long-running 2- or 3-way power struggle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9666-9696, Nov 11 at 2310, loud rapid clicking is QRMing
heavily English from REE SPAIN q.v., as received not only by Maryland
and Virginia SDRs, but at least as bad at UTwente. So it is certainly
external from Spain and the SDRs, Soviet? Er, ``Russian``? The other
three REEs are in the clear. 2355 recheck during REE French, the clix
have stopped (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Nov 10 at 0717, one WRMI frequency is back on air
already, with SMTV, so hurricane must not have been too severe. Yet
current sked has 5950 off after 04 or 05, and SMTV supposed to be on
9395 during the 07 hour.

Next check at 1544: 9395, 15770, 17790 are on; 9955, 9455 off. No 5s
or 7s audible, but it`s daytime, if on at all, and vs high local noise
level peaking around 8 MHz.

Next next check at 0015 Nov 11: All are on: 5010, 5800, 5850, 5950,
7570, (still not 7730), 7780, 9395, (9455 which was missing earlier),
9955; JBA carrier on 15770.

Subject: Hurricane Nicole Report - WRMI

Dear WRMI Clients, Friends and Colleagues:

I am happy to report that Hurricane Nicole did only some minor damage
at the WRMI transmitter site in Okeechobee last night and early today
(November 10), and all of our frequencies are back on the air on their
normal schedule today. We did sign off early last night on most
frequencies for the safety of our equipment and staff, but we had no
power or Internet outages, and everything was working again this
morning. Hopefully this will be the last storm for the 2022 hurricane
season!

** U S A. 9329.946V to .959, Nov 8 at 1938, WBCQ-6/WLCR is finally
back on air,
S9+10/20 in English; had been missing for more than a week, and now is
off-frequency minus instead of plus. Varying audibly as I try to
measure it {date and time had been omitted} (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD
OF RADIO 2164)

** U S A. 9330+. Nov 10 at 0720, WBCQ/WLCR is on, in Spanish as on
their sked this hour only, 57 degrees toward Spain, S7/S9 and again
offset plus rather than minus. Thursday is an off-day for Cuban spy
numbers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5830 & 9475, WTWW-1 have not been heard for quite a while.
Those should be carrying programming from the station`s owner,
Scriptures for America, yet the #2 transmitter with Ted`s rock music
or ham shows, on 5085, has continued regularly heard in the evenings
on a widely variable schedule --- but not any more: UT Nov 10 at 0205,
Dave Zantow in Wisconsin says, ``on 5085, Ted Randall has been
babbling that tonight will be the last broadcast due to financial
issues. That will continue on the internet with the same oldies and
Bible-beater junk.`` I myself did not hear this, but I am told that he
also announced that it would be his last broadcast on 5085, unless he
could raise $ 15,000 from the audience. Rodney Johnson in Minnesota
says ``there`s lots of talk on their FB group as well``. Walt Salmaniw
in BC says ``they usually boom in to Massett, and I will miss them as
they play some really nice music with good fidelity``.
Axually the real problem is that for some reason, Ted Randall has been
failing to carry the Scriptures for America broadcasts. They, after
all, own the station. So, on Nov 9th or into 10th, a representative
from SFAW in Colorado came in and closed down the station, and ousted
Ted Randall. This is a breaking story as we go to ``press`` on
Thursday afternoon, and I`m sure there will be more to follow. Maybe
Ted will find some other station to carry his stuff (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. 1140, Nov 10 at 0735 UT, open carrier dominates some C2C
station, i.e. KLTK, 5 kW DAYTIMER in Centerton, NW Arkansas, as
previously concluded (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1170, Nov 10 at 0734 UT, WWVA ID as I tune across, as Tulsa
may be in a fade. Site in OHIO diminishes signal toward Tulsa but not
a deep-notch null:

** VANUATU. 7890, 11835, Nov 10 at 0724, no signals from R. Vanuatu
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6082 USB, Nov 11 at 0017, 2-way in Spanish with ``engine
noise``. I do wish some native speakers would monitor these things and
get some of idea of where they are, what their ``business`` may be
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
