Saturday, October 01 2022
![Hauser](http://www.hard-core-dx.com/images/hcdx/wor.gif) ** CANADA. 258 MCW kHz, Sept 30 at 0719 UT, dash and ZSJ, 1000 watt ND beacon at Sandy Lake, Ontario. The only one on this frequency.
335 MCW kHz, Sept 30 at 0723 UT, dash and YLD, 1000 watt ND beacon at Chapleau, Ontario. DXinfocentre.com says YLD is to be decommissioned 2023-04-20. Not much storming now in the great center of the continent, so the lower-noise `season` is getting underway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA [and non]. 6030, Sept 30 at 0626, Cuban pulse jamming against no Martí, but a weak carrier and talk under, soon some laughter, so CFVP, ``Funny 1060``, Calgary. My yesterday`s log of CFVP in clear at 0644 drew this reply from Bryan Clark, NZ: ``I was listening in New Zealand on 6029.988 the same date from 0558 UT. While the signal was weak, the unique comedy format of the station was heard in the clear UNTIL the Cuban buzz-saw jamming resumed on the channel at 0652. The attached audio file gives you a feel for the CFVP signal strength and quality in the South Pacific. The Cuban jammer starts at 13 seconds into the recording. Bryan -- Mangawhai - Northland - New Zealand`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 6017.019, Sept 30 at 0146, VP S5/S6 with talk, no doubt Organización Radial El Prado, Palermo, Magdalena, on signature split frequency, presumably unlicensed; gone by 0620 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11850, Sept 30 at 0141, a few RHC frequencies are back on after widespread Ian-caused power outages. Back to ``normal``, this one is S9+10/20 of just-barely-modulated Spanish; also 9650, S9+10 merely undermodulated. And 6000 at 0145, S9+20/30 in English with sufficient modulation. Not found on any other frequency normally on air at this time. Per EiBi, 6000 & 11850 are Quivicán site, 9650 Bejucal; so major Bauta plant still dark (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, Sept 30 at 0627, all these transmitters are off, but: 9805 & 9565, Sept 30 at 0631, pulse jammings against nothings are drawing powers from somewheres (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. Survey of RHC frequencies, Sept 30 at 2340, finds only: 6000 S7/S9 JBM Spanish? 9650 S9/+10 better in Spanish; there are no others on those bands, nor on the 5s, 11s, 13s or 15s. But 13650 CRI music relay is on, S9+20 JBM and at 2344 the NHK IS audible under in this protracted collision. 9535 with something in Chinese, not Cuba. Another check at 0023: 12000 S9 JBM English = 2 x 6000. At 0026, 11850 is now on at S9+10/20 but as always JBM Spanish. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. This CNN special originally on UT Sept 26, per Titan TV listings has changed final repeat time to 03 UT Oct 1 instead of 01: ``"Immaculate Concussion: The Truth Behind Havana Syndrome" New, 9/25/2022, News, Topical, Current Events Dr. Sanjay Gupta investigates the so-called 'Havana Syndrome', a confounding medical mystery beginning with embassy staff in Cuba before spiraling into one of the most hotly debated and poorly understood brain conditions of the age.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 30 at 2157, NO signal from R. Cairo in English, into UTwente; nor Turkey. Guess I`ll have to listen to SPAIN, q.v. I quoted these WOR iog comments Sept 29 from Alan Holder on WOR 2158: It is just over a year now since Radio Cairo fired up two of its transmitters. The other seven units are obviously defunct; probably the tubes are worn out and they cannot get replacements. Or maybe they have used them as a source of spare parts to keep the remaining two on air. I monitor them most days to look for any improvement, but sadly the situation has not changed. A huge amount of electrical energy is going to waste. This audio quality would not be tolerated by the domestic AM audience in Egypt, so why must overseas listeners have to put up with this miserable service? They cannot be relied upon to broadcast regularly - on some days all language services are on air, on other days only part of the schedule is broadcast or sometimes everything is off the air. Start up times also vary from day to day. It seems to me that the transmitter station is not continuously staffed. The AM tx lies some 700 metres to the north - perhaps the tx operators have to cover both sites on their shifts. There was a 7 week period when the transmitter which operates on the 9810-9900 range was completely off air. I sent an e-mail to ERU and this transmitter was back on air the next day. Also, a recent reply from their engineering department reads: `We would like to thank you for your email. But we also like to tell you that we are still having a lot of problem in our Broadcasting System in Egypt as the System has become too much old and There are a lot of Defections in our Stations & Devices. Also we are looking forward to having a new DRM System in the future.` It will be a miracle if this ever comes about. I suspect that it is difficult to get any funding for technical improvements. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE [and non]. 9735-9740-9745, Sept 30 at 0628, DRM noise atop AM carrier with some talk and DRM goes off at 0630:15*, not 0700 as for MiniTransAt marine weather supposedly on its final registered date. Uncovered understation, too weak to discern language, but RRI Arabic scheduled, and would have expected the recognizable Romania IS to play before 0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.933, Sept 30 at 0636, VON is off. Something`s always abnormal at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. The following tiny-print legal notice in the local paper must concern KVBN-LP, 99.9, Enid`s only currently active LPFM station. Warning: your eyes may glaze over reading this: ``PUBLIC NOTICES Published in the Enid News & Eagle September 29, 2022 LPXLP (310) NOTICE OF HEARING APPEAL TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT Notice is given that Victory Bible Church has appealed to the Board of Adjustment concerning the request for a special exception for a 90 foot radio tower to be located at 2700 North Van Buren, which is also known as north 242.67 feet of the west 130 feet of the east 716.76 feet of the tract beginning 1330.2 feet north and 187 west of the southeast corner of the Southeast Quarter (SE/4) of Section Thirty-Six (36), Township Twenty-Three (23) North, Range Seven (7) West of the Indian Meridian, Thence north 75 feet; thence west 65 feet; thence south 25 feet; thence west 245 feet; thence north 242.67 feet; thence west 1,445.90 feet; thence north 851.86 feet; thence east 8.5 feet; thence north 189.5 feet to the north line of said Southeast Quarter (SE/4); thence west 711 feet to the northwest corner of said Southeast Quarter (SE/4); thence south 1992.4 feet; thence east 330 feet; thence south 260 feet; thence east 312 feet; thence north 260 feet; thence east 353.75 feet; thence north 331.16 feet; thence east 1261.76 feet; thence north 214.04 feet; thence east 75 feet; thence north 125 feet; thence east 125 feet to the point of beginning. The property is zoned “C-3” General Commercial District. The Board of Adjustment of the City of Enid, will hear said appeal at the hour of 4:00 P.M. on the 11th day of October 2022 in the Lower Level Conference Room of the City Administration Building, located at 401 West Owen K Garriott Road, at which time any interested person(s) may appear.`` It has been transmitting from a different location on N Van Buren, piggy-backing on the KLGB-LP 94.3 tower which went off the air early this year and surrendered its license. I have to go take a look on the ground, the afternoon of Sept 30. The backstory to this notice is lacking, but perhaps they have to find a new transmitter site? Yes, visiting the church building former home of KLGB, in the 1500 block of N Van Buren on the east side, it`s now for sale along with the decaying KLGB sign; and we see that the self-supporting lattice tower has been dismantled, lying on the ground next to the building. So KVBN, on the air right now, is already transmitting from somewhere else. We then proceed 12 blox north to 2700 NVB, where, well displaced to the west side, there are two adjacent RV/mobile home parx, heavily populated and treed, so that only from one spot can we get a glimpse of a short pole with one vertically polarized FM transmitting element on it. Must be KVBN. It`s still not clear why there be any zoning problem about this. It could easily pass for a home receiving antenna, many of which in this fringe area are higher and more elaborate. Wonder why they didn`t just put it on HQ church property at 402 N 20th St, a few miles to the east? FCC FM Query has nothing but a CP for KVBN-LP at the new location, 73 watts ERP, H&V, 24 m AGL. Interspersed with gospel huxtering and music, KVBN at least includes local weather info. If it were off for a few days to relocate, I would not have noticed (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15520, Sept 30 at 2200, for at least the sixth day in a row, nothing but open carrier dead air on REE`s frequency for the Mideast; S7/S9 at first, but 2230 S9+10 into Maryland SDR. 17855 to N America has served well in the summer, but in fall is beginning to falter well into the Euronight by 2200 English on M/W/F, fadey S9/S7. Maryland SDR is axually getting a solider signal on the S American frequency 11940, where I stay, S9+10; off-azimuth trumps falling MUF. Hélena Rigobert does the preview: an interview by Justin Coe with a German bass-baritone, but she pronounces bass as if he were a fish! After news, that starts at 2206. JC says it`s from his personal archive of June 2018, never broadcast. Guest is Thomas --- Bastop it sounded like at first, later Kwastov??? Discussing his performances including once in Spain he stopped his Schubert recital when someone coughed loudly; and how audiences should understand the need for respectful silence. We hardly hear any of his singing until filling a fraxion of the final minute at 2229 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 30 at 2157 and later chex to 2230, NO signal from VOT English for N America into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2158 contents: Algeria and non, Andorra non, Antarctica, (Austria), Bahamas, (Bulgaria), Canada, Colombia, Cuba and non, Egypt, (France), Indonesia, Ireland, (Italy), Kaliningrad, Kazakhstan, Kiritimati, Korea, México, Morocco?, Nigeria, (Oman), Puerto Rico, Russia, (Singapore), Spain, Turkey, Ukraine and non, UK and non, USA; 6.6 MHz pirates; KiwiSDRs running out; propagation outlook - (Countries mentioned out of order along with others) As of early UT September 30, WRMI is totally off the air pending inspexion of the antennas and feedlines for hurricane damage. Power is back on and WOR 2158 has been uploaded to System servers, but frequencies may be coming back gradually. I anyway post the nominal sked including WRMI in case some of them can resume in the following week. Even if SW off, with studio power the 9955 webcasts may appear. Otherwise, our listeners via WRMI are well-advised to seek another station or listen on the web. WORLD OF RADIO 2158 available from 0215 UT September 30: (mp3 stream) https://www.w4uvh.net/wor2158.m3u (mp3 download) https://www.w4uvh.net/wor2158.mp3 Or via http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html Also linx to podcast services.

Tnx this week to Dan in Cincinnati. Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com WRMI confirmed NOT on any air at 0130 & 0330 UT Friday September 30. WOR 2158 confirmed on WRMI 9955 webcast only, Friday September 30 at 1430, while 9955 itself is still off the air, as well as 9395, 9455, 15770. Also confirmed Friday September 30 at 1815.3 on IRRS SW via Bulgaria 7290, and via AM Italia, 1323 kHz. 7290 into UTwente at S7/S8. 1323 into nearby Noale SDR is S9+10/20 but including heavy QRM in German from Romania`s minority service, and a fast SAH making rough copy. I don`t monitor the whole thing but trust WOR played to completion 1844 on both. This airing has been restored after missing the past two weeks due to a programming mixup. Earlier monitoring of these: 1323 tuned in at 1758 where some talk is underneath classical music from Romania; 1800 German sign on with frequencies including this one. IRRS ought to be on alternate 918 which is clear of QRM. Moving to 1323 was supposed to improve coverage into Ukraine, but I doubt it, with Romania in the way. Still nothing on the experimental LW 207 kHz. By 1801, 7290 has come on late during `Feature Story News``, 1803 `Spotlite` about Iran demos. 1805 NEXUS plug, music fill. 1812 promo for TUC Radio, but no idea when, if there be any specific time; more music until 1815 IRRS SW ID and WOR. Also confirmed Friday September 30 at 2030 on AM Italia 1323 only, S9+10/20, still some QRM but atop it after Romania presumably off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 3265+, Sept 30 at 2358, this WBCQ is on but JBA with IS & ID loop, probably // 5130- where that is much better. Both coming on early to make this week`s `AAAAAA` a quadricast, while 6160- and 7490- are wrapping up some other programming. I start listening direct on best 7490- instead of webcast. It`s a new one, Allan in Monticello, Angela on phone from home in Deland of Fla. Discussion of Hurricane Ian, of course, with some political digs, like all 538 congresspersons are worthless. Allan has been stuck in Maine for two weeks on a maintenance mission, while Angela holds down the fort and battens down the hatches in Fla. 0020 muses which is worse, Hurricane Ian or Hurricane Brandon, which he thinx is destroying this country. At 0032 I measure each frequency on the Maryland SDR: 3265.123 S8/S9; 5129.984 S9; 6159.937 S9; 7489.930 S9+20. 0034 datestamp as 30 Sept YOOLF 2022. Thinx COVID was really man-made in China and the truth of who did it will eventually come out. 0041 quadricasting. 0042 don`t vote for those evil Democrats. Tuned away for a while; when I come back at 0049, he`s talking to *me*, but I missed the first part. He loves me, but apparently peeved that I may guess what`s happening, instead of phoning him to find out. About the 9330 outages: the Ampegon antenna was only 95% complete when that company went bankrupt, and due to COVID they have not been able to get anyone over who knows how to fix it, so WBCQ crew continues to work on it in the daytime, which is why 9330 is often off the air Mon-Sat from around 8/9 am to 4/6 pm EDT. As for transmitter, Continental makes great ones, but this 500 kW one is a nightmare (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WRMI survey Sept 30 at 2339: All frequencies still OFF: 5010, 5800, 5850, 5950, 7570, 7730, 7780, 9395, 9455; and 9955 but with wall-of-noise jamming against nothing. Latest from Jeff White: ``Hurricane Damage at WRMI [as of 1756 UT Sept 30]: The weather is fine here in Okeechobee now, but the hurricane damage is becoming more clear. I went out into the antenna field yesterday evening with our facility manager Pat Travers, and our four-wheel-drive truck got stuck in the muck in the swamp about a half-mile from our building. We were rescued by another truck. Anyway, the point is that it's very difficult to work in many parts of the antenna field now because of the wetness. A crew also went out into the field this morning to check out antennas and transmission lines. So we know what we have to do to replace broken poles and get transmission lines off the ground so we can get back on the air. We are sourcing transmission line poles (like telephone poles) right now, and we hope work will begin later today or tomorrow morning on the replacements. Most of our antennas themselves seem to be in good shape. A few have serious problems and will require repairs or replacement. (We have 23 antennas beamed to 11 azimuths, and only 14 transmitters, so some transmitters can be connected to different antennas if necessary.) The bottom line at the moment is, we don't expect to have anything back on the air tonight (Friday). But if all goes well, we may have some transmitters back on the air by tomorrow (Saturday). We'll continue working and will keep bringing transmitters back up as the repair work is done on their transmission lines and antennas. This process could take several days. And hopefully it won't rain and make the field more difficult to work in. Thanks for your patience and understanding, and we hope to have things back to normal as quickly as possible. I'll keep you informed on our progress. Jeff Jeff White, General Manager WRMI Radio Miami International 10400 NW 240th Street Okeechobee, Florida 34972 USA Tel +1-305-559-9764 Fax +1-863-467-0185 www.wrmi.net`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9940, Sept 30 at 0135, VP talk and music, presumably WTWW, and not // usual bigsig with rock on 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5970, Sept 30 at 0144, WEWN Spanish is off. Some reports had this starting at 0000 for 2 or 3 hours, but less than that tonight if at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7680, Sept 30 at 0655, JBA talk - as I was falling asleep so not sure accurately logged, but maybe worth another cursory check. Nothing listed here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0231 UT October 1

Thursday, September 29 2022
![Hauser](http://www.hard-core-dx.com/images/hcdx/wor.gif) ** CANADA. 6030, Sept 29 at 0644, comedy in English at S6/S8 tnx to NO Cuban jamming, CFVP Calgary. Tnx also to Ian, as Cubans would leave jamming on all night even when Martí is off after 0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9565, Sept 29 at 0114, pulse jamming continues against nothing after OCB is over, despite ``total blackout`` of power in Cuba. Don`t you believe it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. From 60 to 22m band, Sept 29 at 0122, all known SW frequencies of RHC, Progreso and Rebelde are OFF due to blackout, but which however has not silenced all the jammers, nor all the MW stations per DXer reports. All SW RHC and RR still silent at 0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [non]. 9490.058V, Sept 29 at 0115, R. República with VG unjammed signal via RMI via defective ISS FRANCE transmitter never on-frequency, and wavering slightly, difficultizing measurement; with seemingly current Hurricane Ian news. 0117 ID and announcing schedule in Yanqui-imposed EDT: 9-10 pm Mon-Wed; 9-11 pm Thu-Sat; 9-12 mn Sun. And ALSO on 5800 which is/was really WRMI, I was unaware of: M/W/F 11 pm-mn. Current WRMI skedgrid shows System B in bluegreen, otherwise mostly into 9955, as Radio República on 5800 at 11 pm-mn but on Wed/Thu/Fri. Beware! That could draw jamming to a previously free frequency not only during those three hours but anywhen affecting other programs! As yet unconfirmed, as WRMI itself is totally off the air. DOW variations too confusing for the jammers, often left running after RR is off. Now the same sked info converted to real UT days and times: 9490: 01-02 UT Tue-Thu; 01-03 UT Fri-Sun; 01-04 UT Mon. 5800: 03-04 UT Thu-Sat, or Tue/Thu/Sat? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 9735-9740-9745, Sept 29 at 0625, DRM noise at S9+10 not noticed before. EiBi shows MiniTransAt Sailing at 06-07 from Issoudun for N Atlantic, but not marked as DRM. It is N = DRM in HFCC for dates 19 July to 30 Sept only, so about to expire, 100 kW at 320 degrees thisaway for all these CIRAF zones: 04,05,09,17,18,27,36,80. This would be bad news for Tsiganeshti, RRI in Arabic if it really run past 0630, unrechecked, which I at first thought might be the DRM, on early. Some of these TransAt DRMs were really only half an hour. By now I`m listening direct, off computer so can`t try to decode the DRM marine weather info remotely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Thu Sept 29 at 0656, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati, back on after another silent Wed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 29 at 0633, S7/S9 of dead air direct from VON. 7254.933, Sept 29 at 1730, S7/9+10 of dead air into Canary SDR. Something always absolutely abject at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU. 5025, Sept 29 at 0058, JBA signal, S5 = noise level, presumably R. Quillabamba, tnx to absence of Rebelde, which even before Ian was sporadic. From 0100 marred by uteblaaps at the regular rate of 24 times per minute (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** RUSSIA. 9996, Sept 29 at 0627, binary clicking JBA, just far enough from WWV to avoid QRM. No doubt RWM timesignals from Taldom/Moskva which at certain other times does ID in CW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15520, Sept 29 at 1500, for at least the fifth day in a row, nothing but dead air from REE to the Mideast! S6/S9 direct. Isn`t there a meter on the transmitter showing modulation, or not?? Even if not listening to it. Could the ops at Noblejas be both aurally and visually impaired; or just mentally (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6993, Sept 29 at 0637, still JBA carrier, presumed WH2XWF propagation research, not all or any? of their low-power Florida sites blown off air yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2157 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT Thursday Sept 29 at 0030 on WRMI 5010 which is off the air. Earlier in the day, Jeff had hoped to keep that one going. NOT confirmed either, UT Thu at 0130 on WRMI 9395, which has been off the air for some time. Shortly WRMI would be totally silent, so WOR may be hard to hear for an unknown period. The UT Friday 0130 first airings on 5850 & 7730 had already been canceled last week, and no response to our request to restore them; UT Fri at 0330 on 7780 would be next, but unlikely to be funxional again already. No longer facing at 0130 Friday deadline, WOR 2158 may not be ready until somewhat later. I anyway post the nominal sked including WRMI in case some of them can resume in the following week.

Tnx this week to Dan in Cincinnati. Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Sept 29 at 0030, the only WRMI frequencies still on air are 9955 with gospel huxter, 7730 with Slovakia in English, 5950 with UFO show, which appears to be a live feed per his comments. By 0120, 9955 is off. Shortly WRMI would go off completely, power outage besides as yet unknown antenna damage. All are off at 0630. We must check wrmiradio on FB for the latest, or this direct from Jeff: ``Dear Colleagues and Clients: Last night Hurricane Ian passed through central Florida. Winds were extremely high, and they caused extensive damage in our antenna field. The winds are still very strong as I write this (1330 UTC Thursday), and we have not been able to assess the extent of the damage yet. Electrical power went out at 0200 UTC Thursday and is still out. The power company, Florida Power and Light, cannot begin to work on power restoration until the winds go down to about 35 miles per hour, and that may not be until later today or tomorrow. So we are off the air, except for our Internet stream, until further notice. Thanks for all of your messages and phone calls. We'll keep you updated. Jeff`` - I wonder if flooding also be a threat around WRMI as elsewhere like inland Orlando; how far above Lake level is it, and how close to the shore? Sept 29 at 1440 check, all OFF: 9395, 9455, 9955, 15770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555 USB, Sept 29 at 1501, WJHR unusually audible S6, piano music joined by hymnsinger. Must be some HF Es boost. Not even a reduced carrier, so hard to pinpoint reference frequency, but Rodney Johnson, MN, put it at 15554.88, Sept 18 at 1405, power as only 1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7890, 7932, 8620, Sept 29 at 0630, still no signals from RV. We should have let their off-frequencies and harmonics be instead of bringing them to attention of station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9992 USB, Sept 29 at 0628, 2-way in language unseems Spanish; stronger station has ``engine noise``, first noticed aside 9996 RWM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 1914 September 29

![Hauser](http://www.hard-core-dx.com/images/hcdx/wor.gif) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Sept 28 at 1434 tune-in via Argentine remote, LRA36 has already started, amid themesong. Wonder if nominal *1430 now instead of *1500? Good signal, but neglected to note S meter as I am breakfasting. 1436 historical talk; 1438 different song; 1442, ``nos une`` = unites us ID, YLs start live talk on 23rd programa of the season, ``muy especial``, not sure why. Cites geo coordinates, base foundation date 17 Dec 1952. This is 28 Sept, springtime! Temp a balmy -9 C, wind chill -13 since winds are only 8 kph from south. 1447 phone numbers and other contact info; 1450 song; then internet out from remote; 1502 resuming in chat with male voice but chopped off amid at 1514* and never back on by 1533 when I quit. Maybe they kept recording and will get more of it out on the Saturday replay?
Meanwhile, Clara Listensprechen encountered this huge reference of Antarctica themed recordings, music and otherwise: http://www.antarctic-circle.org/valmar.htm Searching on word Esperanza gets half a dozen hits in two or three entries, but none about the LRA36 themesong near start of each broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 11930, Sept 28 at 0627, pulse jamming is still going! Don`t you believe press that Cuba is totally blacked out. Obviously jamming is still of highest priority, surpassed only by jamming against nothing! However, can not find any others on now in the 13, 11 or 9 MHz bands, but yes at 0637 on 7435 & 7335 too. Ron Howard in CA was soon hearing CFVP in the clear on 6030. Sept 28 at 0649, no RHC or Rebelde on any 6 or 5 MHz channel, something wrong but maybe not their fault for a change, unless demerits for no backup power --- yeah, if the jammers against nothing can --- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 28 at 2157, NO signal from R. Cairo, English into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846, Sept 28 at 0650, no JBA signal from R. Kiribati. Gary Pence reports from trying the Hawai`i remote: ``846 khz no show as of 0521z. Not yet. Maybe later?`` And Ron Howard reports: ``Hi Glenn and Gary, On Sept 21 (Wednesday), I also found 846 was noticeably silent. Yes, again off the air again today (Sept 28 - Wed.). Their regular schedule must be off the air on Wednesday and Sunday, as we have been observing. Ron California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADEIRA. 28435 USB, Sept 28 at 2030, CT9ABY making quick contacts, QRZ as if a contest, among a few phone signals on 10 m, no beacons: ``CT9ABY Madeira Island flag Madeira Island Branislav Panak Porto Moniz Madeira Island QSL: via OM2FY or OM QSL buro, please don't use CT QSL bureau`` per qrz.com so I guess he be from Czechia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 28 at 0638, no signal from VON direct. No show either into Canary remote Sept 28 at 1752, 1831 chex, just very weak not-off-frequency Tibet at the first time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15520, Wed Sept 28 at 2015, yet another day of dead air on the REE ME frequency, S5/S7 direct; and still so into Maryland SDR at 2202 during tokEnglish. 2215 about a Cantata on VG 17855, almost as good on SAm 11940, and even 11670 usable for Africa if you ignore the squeal. Something`s always nutty at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.021, Sept 28 at 2159, VOT IS & ID in English, 2200 sign-on with sked, S9+40/50 into UTwente, good mod but with some hum. Occasionally see this +21 Hz offset, otherwise only about +3, so suspect they switch to different transmitters. Something`s erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, Sept 28 at 0500, UR1 via WRMI, NO `Ukraine: Security Issue` in English thru 0518, and does not sound like Ukrainian, rather another Slavic language, presumably Slovak as Ivo noted recently; so no English at all during this hour any more? U:SI is produced multilingually including Slovak. Anyhow we can still monitor it from website in English. Maybe WRMI could drelay another hour where English be? Note: in my summaries I seldom mention places or names I am not familiar with nor how to spell them. One more reply came in favor of my providing these, for a total of three. Yet I continue, for now. Catching up on the last two, I click on the latest, Sept 27: http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_24_09_22.mp3 Still no verbal dating. Exhumations completed, 447 bodies in Kharkiv region. Tied hands, wounds, torture. More mass burial sites found in Izium. More than 1000 R soldiers IDed who committed crimes. Witnesses interviewed here and elsewhere. Astounding number of executed citizens. Five EU countries do not want to join lawsuit at EU court of human rights. Torture victim at Donetsk describes jail conditions. Sept 21 exchange of prisoners. Some secure in Turkey, secret whereabouts... This all sounds very familiar --- tho labeled Sept 27, the linked URL indicates it`s for Sept 24! Manually changing 4 to 7, really Sept 27: http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_27_09_22.mp3 Settlement in Kharkiv region liberated, Kopyansk. As of morn of Sept 27, 1,171 children injured in U by R, 395 killed, 776 injured. Total number still being established. Modern weapons need to be provided, especially by Germany rather than NATO. General interviewed by TIME magazine Oct 10 issue. U brilliant success in Kharkiv region. Kamikaze drones deployed by R to save expensive missiles. 349 emergency infrastruxure facilities damaged in war, 11 critical heating completely destroyed. U demand at least $ 300 billion in reparations from R, from accts sanxioned in G7 countries. Show mechanism of how it could be done? UN General Assembly working on int`l compensation mechanism. U has unique potential for attracting investment, says Pres Z. Additional sanxions against R proposed, such as on diamonds, says jeweler leader. Blood diamonds in Yakutia. Europe unfair to Ukrainians, should be glad food to N Africa got out, preventing more immigration to Europe in November. http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_26_09_22.mp3 For Sept 26, correctly linked, including: 15 year old girl died, result of R missile strike. Another torture chamber uncovered in village, Kharkiv region. Then deported them to Russia. As of Sept 16, R no longer signatory to EU human rights convention. Z says Putin wants to scare whole world with nuclear blackmail. Shelling of NPPs could spread radiation thruout Europe, radioactive dust. R using mobilisation as means of killing people in occupied Crimea, genocidal policy, mostly against Tatars; also Dagestan, Siberia. Street protests in Russian cities. Preparing for increased cyber attax. U to receive defense systems from USA, but not enough. 73% of U believe west continues to support U (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 347 MCW kHz, Sept 28 at 0701 UT, AFK, 25 watt ND beacon at Nebraska City NE, and not much else; vs bleedover from 350 RG OKC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6993, Sept 28 at 0638, JBA carrier: what better time to relog presumed WH2XWF, as last reported: ```6993, Feb 9, 2022 at 0724 UT, JBA carrier, presumed same as last logged Oct 4, 2021, when I also referenced this from 2017: ``6993, Sept 10 [2017] at 0002, JBA carrier as almost always audible from presumed WH2XWF, experimental 164-watt transmitters with several locations in Florida, to study ionospheric disturbances, never IDing, nothing but dead air``. So new log for the record``` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2157 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday September 27 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S7/9+10 into Maryland SDR. ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees, Dear Glenn: World of Radio, monitoring and confirming the latest for #2157, first airing was missed, heard Blues Radio Int instead, these program are aired almost at the same time at 0130 UT Friday. WRMI: 9955, 2230, heard World of Radio aired, 2259. Sep 27 [Tue] 9395, lots of fading, 2330, 2344, 2359 (45433), 2359, Sep 27 [Tue] 5850, Hurricane, no Signal heard, power outage, 1030, Sep 28 [Wed] (Lemke, Richard -AB) 73’s, have a great start to the Fall season, Richard`` ``Just a note, WRMI was absent this morning (1030 UT) on 5850 (no WOR on my morning walk…) Hope everyone is OK there… Chris KC5IIE Tulsa, OK``. Confirmed Wednesday September 28 the 2100:21 on WBCQ 7489.94v, away from computer straining to hear direct from 2120, S4/S7, can tell it`s my voice but not enough to recognize the correct edition -- until finally at 2127.5, I hear ``2,4,8,5``, the Vanuatu frequency and at very end, ``I say again, standard disclaimer``. I don`t say it again every week, but did this week vs WRMI cutting off my last few words on some playbacks. Next: 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html A noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, by money order or check on a US bank. Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com Next new WOR 2158 should be ready by 0130 UT Friday September 30 but first broadcast on WRMI 5850 & 7730 was deleted last week, so try 0330 on 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WRMI chex as hurricane approaches: Sept 28 at 0632, 9455 & 9395 are off, but at 0636, 7730 is still on later than usual, with Brazilian song. At 0640, 5800, 5850 and 5950 all off, but probably 5850 is only one supposed to be on by now. 5850 also off during WOR at 1030, q.v. Further reports in WOR iog of WRMIs off, and Jeff White has been posting updates on the situation, where else? on disgraced FB: https://www.facebook.com/wrmiradio including: ``Hurricane update: So far, at 1354 UTC Wednesday, we're on the air with our normal schedule. But it's likely that we'll have to shut transmitters down later today or tomorrow as the hurricane goes through this area. Then if we don't have antenna damage and if we have power, we'll go back on the air. We'll keep you posted.`` WRMI situation Sept 28 at 2016 direct: 15770 on with gospel huxter. At 2022, 9395 & 9455 off; 9955 on with TOMBS at S9 undermodulated; 7730 JBA carrier. At 2032, 21525 is on and JBA. More from FB: ``Hurricane update as of 2134 UTC Wednesday: Winds are picking up here in Okeechobee, affecting some of our transmission lines. Our frequencies of 7780, 9955, 5950 and 15770 kHz are on the air with our regular schedule. 9455, 9395, 5800, 7570, 5850 and 7780 kHz are off the air and will probably remain off for the rest of the night and into tomorrow. We expect to air 5010 kHz on its regular schedule tonight. Our Internet stream at www.wrmi.net is on as usual. This is all subject to change depending on conditions. Our lights have been flickering on and off, so a power outage could occur at any time.`` ``Hurricane update as of 2203 UTC Wednesday: Winds are getting much higher here, and 15770 kHz has gone down unfortunately. We still have 7780, 9955 and 5950 kHz on the air.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330v, Sept 28 at 0634, WBCQ/WLCR is on in English. So unreliable that whether it`s off or on is notable. Also on at 2021 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9275, Sept 28 at 2020, WMLK is OFF in the middle of its 6-day-a-week sked. No hurricane excuse there. Neighbor in more ways than one, 9265 WINB, is nominal (Glenn Hauser, OK. WOR) ** VANUATU. 7890 & 7932 & 8620, Sept 28 at 0635, still no RV harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0018 UT September 29

![Hauser](http://www.hard-core-dx.com/images/hcdx/wor.gif) ** BRAZIL. 9664.943, Sept 27 at 0658, RVM, S6/S9 of music with always good modulation but frequency slipping a bit again from 9665.000 nominalness (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, Sept 27 at 0654, RHC in English! Rather than Radio Rebelde. All real RHC frequencies are off: 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9965 & 9955, Sept 27 at 0701, pulse jamming against nothing despite imminent hurricane hitting western Cuba. Quite different pulse rates: faster on 9965, slower on 9955. WRMI is currently silent overnight, but when on it would be deceased Brother HyStairical, never exile programming nor anything in Spanish. 9965? That was a Radio República via Costa Rica, gone for a decade or more. 9965 used by Palau now but not before 0807/1250 and mostly weekends only, altho `HBN` registered HFCC available 24/7/365! Something`s always incredible at the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 11760 & 15140, Sept 27 at 1526, NO signals direct from the usual RHCs for midday, no doubt blown off by Hurricane Ian; and still nil into Maryland SDR at 1840. How about jammers around 1530? Cannot detect any on current Martí frequencies, 11860, 11930, 13605. The 11s are not very strong anyway and 11860 has fast SAH, presumably QRyeMen; 13605 so strong cannot be certain no J now. One would expect some SW jamming to continue from sites further east in The Greatest Antille, but winds aside, they already have electricity supply problems. RM helpfully covers weather warnings for Cuba. But at 1845, definite jamming on all three, 13605 worst, as heard by Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11950, Sept 27 at 2305, the *only* RHC or Rebelde SW frequency on air, quick check of all possible fundamentals 5.025 to 15.73 MHz into Maryland SDR. EiBi shows 11950 site Bauta, but so are most of those missing. With hurricane info (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.994, Sept 27 at 2141, R. Cairo manages to be on air today, S7/9+10 into Maryland SDR, but humwhine only, no programod. By 2159 some supressed music, 2200 timesignal 4+1 really cuts thru, news theme, a grand march, but unreadable. Something`s always egregious at Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 27 at 0702, cannot detect a JBA carrier from R. Kiribati, local noise level is higher than usual. But Ron Howard heard and recorded it at 0658 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 27 at 0652, VON is off. No signal either at 1642 into Canary/Fuerteventura SDR. But at 1727 recheck VON is on, concluding some listener contact show in English, minus 67 Hz = 7254.933, and dumps off air at 1729*, no longer impeding Tibet close to 7255.000 nor huge splash from S9+10/20 7265 CRI Russian via Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, std denunciation, 1730 clip-clops and historical dramatization again; and during brief pause, English audible under, which is BBC via MADAGASCAR, I daresay a horrible collision around Africa. VON still off at 1827 check. The studio staff at VON must be very demoralized, what sounds like very well-produced programming being mistreated this way; OR, like so many SW services, clueless about what happen to their product on the way out to the world (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 15520, Tuesday Sept 27 at 1457, still 1520, S5/S7 of dead air direct from REE for the third? day in a row, no one noticing at Noblejas? Geez. Still DA at 1832 check into Maryland SDR. 15520, Sept 27 at 1643, absolutely dead air at S9/+12 into Canary SDR. 11670 is only other frequency on this early, 1644 in Arabic this semihour M-F, with squeal, S8/9+12. To be followed by Russian 1700-1730 M-F despite azimuth 161 across Africa! No antenna toward Russia. Each 200 kW frequency is stuck on a single angle, no matter what the language or presumed `target`. Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas, messed up in Madrid. Wait a minute! 1700 into Brazilian Portuguese, about Venezuelan migration, not in Russian. Would RR have been on 15520 if modulated? The language lineups in Aoki are not identical: 15520 with Spanish M-F 1500-1730; 11670 breaking away to Arabic & Russian M-F 1630-1730; and never Portuguese on either. How about EiBi? 11670 at 1630-1730 M-F in Arabic, Portuguese, no Russian. 15520 differs: 1630-1700 M-F Arabic, but 1700-1730 depends on DOW: M/W/F Russian, Tue Sephardic, Thu/Sat/Sun Spanish; no Portuguese ever. This resembles WRTH 2022 sked for B-21 with 12030 & 11685 instead, and everything one real UT hour later since REE caves in to stupid DST during A-season, inapplicable in many targets, but more convenient in studio keeping times the ``same``. But by 1715, 15520 still dead air, of course! and 11670 with that annoying squeal. It`s equally bad on LSB and USB tuning, so part of the DSB modulation. AMNarrow is not enough to escape it either. 15520 still DA, S3/S8 direct at 2021 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.0027, Sept 27 at 2200, VOT opening English, VG today S9/+30 into Maryland SDR, top news story: Tuerkiyeish Language Day lauded by pres, Sweden should be rid of PKK, all the way until 2216 Review of Tuerkiyeish Press; 2219 Weekly Commentary to 2229 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2157 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday September 27 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 direct, undermodulated. Also confirmed Tuesday September 27 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9/+12 into Maryland SDR, no jamming audible, wonder why? And still not at 2258 closing, but when Radio Libertad starts at 2300 with hurrican news, there`s the jamming starting to build, but way under for Marylanders. Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html A noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, by money order or check on a US bank. Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Sept 27 at 1830, all scheduled frequencies of WRMI are still on the air into Maryland SDR: 21525, 15770, 9955, 9455, 9395, 7730; mostly with Brother Scare, who assures us there were no dinosaurs, let alone anything 10 megayears ago. 21525, Sept 27 at 2016, this WRMI, `Radio Africa` hits S9+10 during `Healing Word` program; normal JBA carrier getting sporadic E boost. Hurricane Ian plans to landfall Florida at Venice, then up the length of the state, so WRMI won`t get a direct hit but high circumwinds may well cause voluntary or involuntary absences, as may power outages. Keep an ear on WRMI frequencies. In a lengthy thread on the WOR iogroup about SW station expenses, Ken Zichi suggests that WRMI might install lots of solar panels, and/or wind power on all that farm/ranch property it occupies. However, I think it`s not owned outright; hydro power not an option in flat Fla, unlike it was for HCJB, and tsunamis, storm surges cannot be depended upon, nor hurricane force winds. Now Jeff White just replied: ``Well, it’s a nice idea. Certainly electricity is our largest expense. It would be nice if we could use solar power. But we have had a number of companies visiting us over the years proposing such a thing, and when they find out how much electricity we use, they realize it’s useless. You would have to cover the whole square mile with solar panels, and I don’t know if that would even be enough. And we don’t own the property. We lease it, and our lease only permits us to use a certain amount of area for the antennas. The rest of it is for the owner’s cows to graze. Like I said, it’s a great idea in theory. But there’s just no substitute for electricity at this point. We could do like many if not most other stations are already doing or planning — reduce power. Most listeners wouldn’t even notice it. At the HFCC in Bulgaria in August, everybody was talking about it. It would be a better alternative than reducing the number of hours of transmissions. One station in the US has just had to do this, and it’s a real shame. Jeff`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9940, Sept 27 at 0700, Scriptures for America ID on WTWW, -1 or -2?
