** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Oct 27 at 1502, VOMK is S9/+20, usual

** U S A. 5850, Oct 28 at 0134, WRMI with `SOS WRMI` fundraiser
instead of Viva Miami, voiced by someone other than Jeff, with rock
music. What if you are not a rock fan? 0138 `Lion Sleeps Tonight`.
0140 ad for an Icom SDR. 0144.6 cut to RFPI in language? Not Slavic
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [and non]. 7260, Oct 27 at 0618, R. Vanuatu is JBA,
squeezed between 7255- Nigeria and 7265 VOA French São Tomé -- the
latter is M-F only until 0630, and negligible modulation from the
former helps (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 27 at 0624:
567-? off-frequency minus, maybe birdie: Spain listed only 1.6 Hz low.
Other likely sources: 621 Canary, 684 Spain, 711 Morocco, 1044 Spain;
1521 - 5 kW Spain? Even with 2000 kW would not expect Sa`udi at this
late hour; nor 500 kW East Turkistan at this midday hour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7730 USB, Oct 27 at 0619, JBA 2-way? in language not
Spanish more like French intonation, in absence of WRMI which is
allegedly active on 7730 AM with low power. Few pauses and only one?
side heard so may be 1-way? Or could this really be a trace of WRMI?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0221 UT October 28

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Oct 26 at 1433-1543, never any signal
this Wednesday from LRA36 into Argentine SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. See USA: WRMI: 7570

** CANADA. 300 MCW kHz, Oct 26 at 0626 UT, dash and YIV, 500 watt NDB
at Island Lake, Manitoba. Last logged last year, Dec 26 and 8. It`s in
NE Manitoba, beyond coverage of my Rand McNally road atlas. Reader`s
Digest Great World Atlas has it: near the Ontario border at the
southern end of the NE/SW boundary. Viz.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Lake,_Manitoba
YIV is the only N American on 300 per dxinfocentre.com
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6060, Oct 26 at 0619, RHC English, S9/+10 and
undermodulated, nowhere else on 6 or 5 MHz; how many kW? Not
unusually, inferior to *1 kW* CFRX neighbor on 6070, which is S9/+10
and louder, but also with a SAH, presumably Channel 292, Germany
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 5985, Oct 26 at 0400, no signal from WRMI-2. NHK in
Spanish was scheduled here and nowhen else, even direct. I believe
that language was totally canceled by NHK some months ago. HFCC B22
shows no Spa anywhen, anywhence:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B22&broadc=NHK
Nor for A22, 5985 last appearing for B21.

WRMI transmission skedgrid shows nothing 24h on 5985; yet the program
schedule below still shows a ``System K`` for nothing but this. Aoki &
EiBi still show some other programming on 5985 WRMI. 5985 was
nullified long before Hurricane Ian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 26 at 0615, no signal from VON direct. No
signal at 1803, 1850 into Canary remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Oct 26 at 0624 UT, SW, ND beacon at
StillWater, now confirmed on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640 KZLS // 1390 KCRC Enids, Oct 26 at 0640/0642 UT,
both are in dead air instead of sports talk (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 26 at 2200, token English from REE on Wed, first
checked direct: NAm frequency is back on, but poor not propagating so
well toward the end of A-season, also undermodulated? 15520 VP, 11940
NO signal so must be off since 11670 is audible but poor. By 2207 I`m
checking Maryland remote: YL interview about something: 17855 S2/S3,
15520 JBA, 11940 OFF, 11670 despite normally the worst here, for
Africa, is poor S3/S4 making it the best, but also with squeal.
Something`s not right at Noblejas.

From Oct 30 the Bquencies are likely to be 9690 NAm, 12030 ME, 11940
SAm, altho a number of new alternatives have been registered; but for
Africa it`s either 17755 or 21620, neither of which will be any good
over here by 2300; as everything including English will be one real UT
hour latened (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 26 at 2200, VOT English is JBA direct, but by
2213 into UTwente it`s S9+40/45, with scratchy over/modulation, as
something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2216 concluding `Review of
the Tuerkiyeish Press`. Music bit and 2219, `Weekly Commentary`, by
Thomas Alford? who has written for Spectator, SCMP et al., but read by
the heavily accented YL, titled ``Britain's Political Peril Is
Unlikely to End with Sunak``. Not sure of his name, I search on that
exact title and leads directly to full text at TRT World:

https://www.trtworld.com/opinion/britain-s-political-peril-is-unlikely-to-end-with-sunak-61921
where I notice that the ESL reader simply skips over words she does
not recognize or know how to pronounce, while mispronouncing others.
His name is Thomas O. Falk. At the bottom, individuals are invited to
email their own opinion pieces to TRT. Maybe he did exactly that, so
it`s original with TRT. Otherwise the subject has no relevance to
Turkey. 2230, next show is ``Cooking Files``?? No, I still can`t
comprehend the title; it`s not about recipes, but space exploration

As of 1530 UT Oct 25, there had been *no* updates on WRMI FB since Oct
21, unusual. Finally here`s one circa 2130 UT Oct 25:

``WRMI Radio Miami International 30m · A quick update on hurricane
repairs at WRMI. Our crew continues to work on repairing transmission
lines for 7570 and 7780 kHz. They have been quite difficult to

S9+40; at 2125 WTWW singing ID, ``Voice of Freedom, WTWW 9940`` and
``a song from the Ukrainian Top 50``, but Ted doesn`t name or
translate it nor cite the number. Is there a specific sked for ``V of

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 25 at 0657, RV is back, in Bislama talk; had
been missing since Oct 20. It`s almost QSY time, so I tune to 11834
USB waiting for it to pop on 11835 --- but never heard well past 0700.
Then I check 7890 and 0701 there it is while 7260 is off. So the
second harmonic of 3945 is propagating, but not the third.

Later, Lúcio Otávio Bobrowiec in SP reports to the WOR iog: ``Hi all,

found an even weaker match at +68 kHz, 13768 approx. They run past

hear good S6/S7 signal on 11670 as it`s signing off, 2301 into earworm

** U S A [and non]. 5850, Oct 23 at 2335, WRMI with opera in Italian;
i.e. R. Prague Int`l relay in `English`, usual Sunday classical music
default. But via Maryland remote, there is a `roar` in the background.
At first I wonder if a transmission defect, while // 5010 has no such
roar. Still so on 5850 after 0000 Oct 24. And the roar is much
stronger vs WRMI at Bonaire remote. So I am suspecting Cuban jamming
altho that`s nonsensical with no exile programming on 5850 and very
little Spanish otherwise. However, there is no pulsing in the roar as
usually the case of Cuban jamming. Some utility QRM? At 0042 direct to
OK, here in the boresight of WRMI`s very strong signal, I don`t hear
any. Needs further investigation!

I meant to check 5850 the next day Oct 24 just before *2200, but
missed it; circa 2030 there was nothing unusual. I am checking remotes
at 2302: Bonaire OK at first until I compare to 5950 & 5010 which are
less noisy. By 2320 into Maryland, 5850 again has some background
noise like yesterday.

BTW, for a while WRMI itself was carrying R. República at 0300-0400
three nights a week on 5800, risking attracting jamming there, and
beyond those hours; but has vanished from current skedgrid. B-22
relays via FRANCE are already on the sked showing Cuba target on 9490,
but not what (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Oct 24 at 1531, this WRMI is off, while 9395 & 9455
are on and nominal. Ditto at 2031, 2229. Had been 24 h but skedgrid
now shows a gap at 15-21. Could be that #3 is OK but logistically
needs to be off while other antenna lines are being repaired (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330.114, Oct 24 at 1532, WLCR/WBCQ is on in English but
still way off-frequency. 2030 recheck it`s off again, repair work?
