** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Sept 14 at 1450 nothing yet into Argentine remote, but LRA36 cuts on S4/S8 at *1452 amid musical prélude; 1500.5 standard opening with sign-on, 4-lingual warning that it`s in Spanish, 2022 cycle of Esperanza Audaz, staff names; 1502 Esperanza themesong I never tire of hearing; 1505 brief scripted almost poetic piece also about memorias; 1506 song with martial beat; 1511 ID with ``su compañía``, into live YL chat, intro as the 20th = vigésimo programa of the season; also mention 21st? maybe referring to next week. 1513 geo coordinates, date as 14 Sept, temp 1 degree, or low? was -6, winds from north at 20 kph gusting to 37; 1516 contact platform info; 1518 homage to some rock star; 1520 ID with ``Nacional, nos une``; this-week-in-history starting with something on Sept 11, 1888; International Chocolate Day, etc. 1527 song; 1531 ID, ``Nacional, nos une`` again; historical talk about Sarmiento in the 1800s; 1544 weather again; 1545 song now peaking at S9 but chopped off air at 1546.4*, never back by when I quit at 1611. Something`s always audacious at Antarctica (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 1010 kHz, Sept 14 at 0628 UT, adstring atop CCI, trying to hear any AC 904 or Jax refs from WJXL, but 0630 finally a ``NewsTalk 10-10`` ID, CFRB Toronto again. It seems one cannot find a pattern map thru FCC which merely linx to CRTC, but I again point out that per NRC Antenna Pattern Book, CFRB`s at night is very unfavorable thisaway, most of it going NE up, or down, the St. Lawrence. But Canadian AM stations are notorious for not `protecting` USA co-channels as supposedly licenced. Of course major competitor in the east is WINS NYC into Atlantic, never heard here; and KXEN Festus no longer matters but did protect CFRB. Aha, this https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=CFRB&service=AM&s=F&h=N shows a very different CFRB at night, considerable lobes to SW as well as NE, null toward WINS. I wonder what 1010 be like in mid-NY state. However, this shows coverage *area*, not pure antenna pattern, so obviously influenced by proximity to two Great Lakes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 15034 USB, Sept 14 at 2220-2224, CHR, Trenton Military robot uttering ``no report received`` over and over from: Bagotville, Trenton itself!, Ottawa, Toronto, 4 times in a row, restarting ``Terminal Forecast`` for a 5th run; then ID and timecheck, ``Aviation Weather``, nothing but NRRs for Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and repeating that once more before I quit. Obviously nohuman is paying attention. Let`s hope that Canadian Forces monitoring of, say, incoming ICBMs, be a bit more efficient. BTW, I often tune across no signal at all on 15034 and wonder if it`s even on air as much as ``required``. Likewise night channel 6754-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, Sept 14 at 0243, RHC S9/+10 of dead air in English, while 6000 is S9+20/30 of undermodulated English. At 0245, 11670 is also dead air at S7/S9, possibly would be English instead of correct Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Sept 14 at 0253, R. Rebelde is off; 5040 RHC is weak; 4765 R. Progreso S9+10/20 more or less normal, the 60-m situation in electricity-short Cuba where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.994, Sept 14 at 2230, R. Cairo, S9/+10 of humwhine only into Virginia SDR, no attempt at program modulation; at 2210 direct had been a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 14 at 0621, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati and no other 9/kHz splits at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 6179.963, Sept 14 at 0246, JBM music, probably La Voz Alegre MWV most likely to be off-frequency, rather than CRI Russian via East Turkistan, std denunciation; nor RNA Brasil apparently off, leaving also a JBA carrier on 11780 which could be Romania in Spanish. RNA nominally until 0305* on both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 14 at 0637, VON is on but poor S7/S9 undermodulated. Sept 14 at 1850 check via Canary SDR, it`s absent. 1857 huge S9+20 carrier from China cuts on prior to 1900 fanfare and Turkish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1120 kHz, Sept 14 at 0627 UT, ``clear`` channel KMOX with heavy QRM in Spanish, mentions 97.9 so surely KETU Catoosa/Tulsa, 10 kW ``daytimer`` or maybe only 7 kW ``critical hours``, neither applicable now. 97.9 is the 250-watt translator K250BN wagging the dog of 1120. Have caught them cheating before to KMOX` detriment. The pair make a fast SAH counted about 8 Hz. MWoffset shows 7 Hz, with KETU on 1119.9932, but that was in January 2019 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.001, Sept 13 at 2226, VOT is on via UTwente, heavily accented YL about Türkiye/Hellas relations. (No, Greece does not really demand we call it Hellas in English; but why not?) 9830, Sept 14 at 2230, NO signal from VOT in English to Virginia SDR. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2155 monitoring: Confirmed Tuesday September 13 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, after BBB ID claiming this be ``9395`` --- obviously he is not paying attention, then `Everglades` ID, S8/9+10 into Maryland SDR with lite pulse jamming at first, and not much worse by 2256, and in fact Radio Libertad still well audible atop it, at least for all the Cubenidians. Also confirmed Tuesday September 13 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR. Compared to whatever be on 9955 now, the modulation level on 9395 is lower. Also confirmed Wednesday September 14 from approx. 2100:22 on WBCQ 7490 minus 71 Hz = 7489.929, S7/9+5 into Virginia and Maryland SDRs. 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 New WOR 2156 should be ready for download early UT Friday September 16 and first SWBC at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 7730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Re W6F, 18164.2 USB, Route 66 On the Air special: main w6jbt.org site shows dates Sept 10-18 only. There are many more participating in the W6# series from CA to IL including some in OK, even the tiny corner of KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9940, Sept 14 at 0235, WTWW on here instead of 5830 with gospel huxterism, while 5085 is a-rockin. S9+30/40 with caller discussing weather in South Dakota ``this morning``, hard to tell if new or similar season decades ago from the Scriptures for America archive; then right into assertion that ``Satan has done a great job`` concerning 501C3s, the ``anti-Christ church`` and the good ole days of blue laws so you could not dine out after church Sundays. I guess it be the #1 programming if not the #1 transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5970, Sept 14 at 0242, WEWN Spanish still absent. However, Ivo Ivanov reports it in the morning before change to day frequency 12050: ``Very good signal of WEWN-3 Radio Católica Mundial in Spanish on 5970 kHz via Vandiver, September 13: https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2022/09/wewn-3-radio-catolica-mundial-on-5970_14.html 1200-1356 on 5970 EWN 100 kW / 160 deg to CeAm Spanish, instead of 00-14 UTC via SDR Boca Raton, FL in USA`` <3 minute clip implies it cut on air at 1200. But from his format you cannot tell whether he monitored the entire span, or just assumes it. BTW at this time there was a lot of English liturgy being translated, or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7932+, Sept 14 at 0642, R. Vanuatu still here on 2 x 3966+, S4/S5 music vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 14 at 0301 finds 1044 kHz only. I was thinking that Spain was there but no more than 5 or 10 kW listed now; used to be 300 kW Morocco but inactive as of WRTH 2016. Biggest power now is 200 kW from much further Ethiopia, which should be on by now if not 24h, and today`s Mekele sunrise 0311 UT. 1044 still audible at 0340, when I`m not getting any Benin on 1476 or 1566, nor those at listed *0320. One more TA JBA carrier, tho, on 855 at 0341, axually sounds like two beating. SPAIN, RNE1 synchros are here, 300 and 50 kW and several less per WRTH 2022. A few months ago, several ``300`` kW RNE outlets were being powered down, but my follow-up that some of them were already listed at less than 300 was hardly noticed. Anyhow, I expect TA JBA carriers will be much less evident now on such as 585, 684, 738, 855. 774 used to be a good spot too but already only 100 kW max (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2353 UT September 14

** EGYPT. 9439.995v, Sept 13 at 2150, R. Cairo is back on air, S9+25 into UTwente, presumed English but totally extremely distorted. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GERMANY [and non]. 9670, Sept 13 at 0613, pop music at S4/S6, presumably Channel 292, which most of the time propagates Brother HyStairical while pretending not to -- but this is not // 7570 TOMBS on WRMI, so what is sked now on `292? Specific program sked for this date and hour at https://www.channel292.de/schedule-9670-khz/ shows this in a block covering 0500-1000 on Sept 12-17: ``May be off air for some time due to maintenance work all week``. I do not measure them directly but note that 292 frequency matches RVM Brasil circa 9665, i.e. exactly same pitch het when tuned to 9664-USB and 9669-USB --- but something on 9675 presents a lower pitch, when tuned to 9674-USB: that would be a CNR1 non-jammer, more likely to be precisely on its frequency that 292 or RVM on theirs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 13 at 0708, JBA carrier from R. Kiritimati, and nothing else on 9/kHz splits (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 13 at 0627, VON is on, undermodulated S9/+10, think I heard the drumming IS go by once in passing, more Hausa. 7255-, Sept 13 at 1636, no VON signal yet into Canary Islands SDR on signature off-frequency 7254.93 or so, just noise instead of 1630-1900 English. Typically will cut on and off multiple times during that span. Next check, 1715, it`s on in English with squeal, S7/S9, VP hardly readable vs storm noise level, -67v Hz offset = 7254.933. Next check, 1821, OFF again! Are we to assume that VON are unable, or merely unwilling, to employ any of their other three long-listed frequencies? Evenings were on 11770, which ought to arrive better now; alternate 9690; all always offset-minus; and even DRM noise circa 15120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SWAZILAND [and non]. 9585, Sept 14 at 1454, music box IS and IDs, ``This is T-W-R, broadcasting from Eswátini``, 1455 opening presumed Malgache, S4/S6 via longpath. Recheck at 1501, now fast SAH from a second station, i.e. CRI Japanese hour scheduled to start at *1458 via Xianyang 59 site, so maybe not a problem in Madagascar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. Sept 13 at 2130 UT, via PBS on OETA-2, repeated at 2200 on OETA-1. BBC World News America is back to `normal` with Laura Trevelyan anchoring Queenews et al. from NYC: https://www.babinc.org/laura-trevelyan/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 18164.2 USB, Sept 13 at 2123, W6F on Route 66 in Kingman AZ, which is in the 7th, not 6th call area, making quick contacts, I can hear AI8O calling over & over but W6F cannot. Op spells their name ALYCE. ARRL/FCC lookup does not recognise W6F call, but qrz.com: W6F USA flag USA 2022 Route 66 On The Air Special Event Hualapai Amateur Radio Club, WB6RER P.O. Box 6908, Kingman, AZ 86402 USA --- more about it here without any specific datespan but updated 9/12: https://www.qrz.com/db/W6F (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2155 monitoring; next: 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba] 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. 9330v, Sept 13 at 1453, yet another day WBCQ/WLCR SuperStition is AWOL from own 24/7 schedule, Enid target safe from it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555-USB, Sept 13 at 1452, WJHR gospel huxter is JBA S7/S8 about the same as noise level. Per DXMAP, HF sporadic E MUF is barely reaching here between FL & OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15670-15675, Sept 13 at 1423, the hybrid unauthorized lower half of WINB beepery is VP S6/S7 while the upper half in DRM noise 15675-15680 is hardly distinguishable from band noise level. Recent new frequency scheduled 14-15 only M-F, then 15745-15755 at 15-17. Not clear why a change needed, nothing listed to QRM 15745-15755 before 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7932.05, Sept 13 at 0620, R. Vanuatu S5/S7, JBA talk vs always present CODAR, i.e. 2 x 3966+. Unfortunately still barely awake at 0709, JBA carrier on 8620+. So despite alleged help from NZ, RV is sticking to wacko schedule of two totally wrong frequencies and their harmonix, 3966+ and 4310+ switching at 0659/0700 --- while local listeners are surely wondering where it went - they might encounter 3966 if tuning around 3945 especially on analog radios, but not 4310 without a DXing mentality. Bryan Clark, NZ, wrote Sept 9: ```A follow up message from Adrian at RNZ Pacific regarding the Radio Vanuatu shortwave transmitter problems says, ``I heard months ago the company that made the TX has gone out of business. That raises the problem of spare parts plus no local technical expertise available. The solution will be very expensive and who knows if it will happen anytime soon.`` Regards, Bryan``` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2219 UT September 13

** EGYPT [non]. 9439.995, Sept 12 at 2203, NO signal from R. Cairo in English into UTwente, just that heavy loud clicking which must be something else. 9900v, which sometimes tries to carry Portuguese service, is also AWOL at 2255 check into UTwente, rather just Chinese. Something`s amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5 AM, Sept 12 at 2150 UT, local Enid CB pirate is still relaying // KXLS 95.7, steady S9+22 at JBM level; why? No skip now or lately, but it ties up the channel (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Sept 12 at 2200, token M/W/F English from REE, VG into Maryland SDR, no need to check three others but you never know whether some will be missing or defective. I`m mainly audioviewing BBC News, see UK [non], but at 2210 check the feature is about a flamenco artist, Rosalía, which seems vaguely familiar: there are a lot of reruns. But by 0028 check Sept 13, NO signal on 17855 into same; supposed to run until 0200* Tu-Sa. 11940 for S America is still VG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.003, Sept 12 at 2203, VOT English is on today, VG S9+30/45 into UTwente, but I`m mainly audioviewing BBC news on TV: see UK [non]. Back here at 2228, `Feeling Supreme` is underway, natural remedies for head lice, but I`ve missed the first nine of twelve; the tenth is: garlic. Not a problem here, but attn all SWLs with head lice: you`ve got to listen to VOT! This will probably repeat eventually. After some musix, 2245-2249 another feature, `DYKT`, about a town on the Aegean with ``the most beautiful beach in the world``. She of the heavy accent mentions the name several times but never can I understand it, so does she ever spell it? Of course not! Something`s always awry at Ankara. Surely one could find on the web a roster of the thousands of beautiful beaches in the world with this atop it, #1, right? There has been some fading in the modulation, rather than signal level or propagation, it seems, but might be SDR reception artifact rather than transmission problem. Also considerable splatter from something on 9820 unless narrowed. Standard sign off and cut 2254* before any IS heard, let alone extra German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE. Catching up on `Ukraine: Security Issue` with dramatic music sounders from UR1 via WRMI 7730 circa 0500, but copied later out of archive: http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_10_09_22.mp3 For Sept 10, but no date or warday mentioned, including: Liberating Kharkiv region proceeding. R army still shelling along entire front line. More than 5500 civilians died, more than 8000 injured, probably much higher. NATO Secy-Genl says war is entering critical phase. NATO should be ready for long-term support. More than 80% of R`s land forces committed to U war. Putin resorting to energy blackmail of Europe, R increasingly isolated, trying to break will of allies. Another 5 ships left U ports for Africa, Europe, with grain, corn, other food. 113 vessels total left for Asia, Africa, Europe. Ports no longer blocked. http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_11_09_22.mp3 For Sept 11, again no date or warday mentioned, including: Zap. NPP seized by R, placed mily eqp on it. U has liberated more than 3000 sq km of territory in Sept. R lost more than 400 soldiers this day. Civilians still being killed. Shot down enemy missile. Negotiations with R not currently possible per Pres Z. They must be ready to give back our land. Negos with R on March 29 but situation has changed. Needs artillery ammo from Germany. Germany has changed position by 180 degrees in favor of aid. Pres Z has discussed with new British PM. Moldova banned flights to R. For Sept 12, not yet posted as of 0345 UT Sept 13. Sept 9 still missing, linked by mistake to Sept 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. RF 13, KETA virtual 13-1 OKC, Sept 12 at 2200-2227 UT, what used to be `BBC World News America`, but anchored out of NY or DC with plenty BBC content, is now coming direct from London, altho the unknown anchor does acknowledge besides domestix, PBS viewers in America at closing. BBC were already planning to downsize/merge their news operation, so this may be the new normal, but EIIR* coverage threw a monkey wrench into everything, so it`s not clear whether just a temporary/special arrangement. Furthermore a ``live`` shot from Scotland at 2210 UT had a clock showing 21:10, so it was already two hours old! OETA, and other PBS? have always delayed it at least one hour, olds instead of news. The identical `cast also runs a semi-hour earlier at 2130 on OETA-2 for our convenience. BTW, we couldn`t help but notice while CNN & MSNBC and even FNC were covering memorial service in live Edinburgh, BBC America had: Star Trek! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2155 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday September 13 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/22 into Maryland SDR. Once again, Jeff White automatically interjects between canned ID and start of WOR: ``Right now, the world is in turmoil...``, yes, and...? Next: 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba] 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. 7780, UT Tue Sept 13 about 0040-0053, central feature this week on WRMI, AWR `Wavescan` is Jeff White`s first report from Sofia, Bulgaria for the B-22 meeting of HFCC, the last week of August, opening remarx by himself, reps of host Spaceline, ABSU and ABU; more to come next week. At the same time one might have been hearing WOR on WRMI 9395, but we have several other airings and WS has dozens of others as on the WRMI skedgrid or our SWL/DX/Media Programs schedule. Portions of WS not scripted by Adrian Peterson are never availablized in transcript form. This was followed by a monthly Philippine DX report, consisting of a rapid bunch of routine loggings with no program details, just date, time, frequency, station, language and SIO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7489.9v), Monday Sept 12 at 2259, WBCQ webcast of AW`s closing prayer ending an `AAAWWW` episode repeat is cut off by an AW canned ID, as the show always runs at least a bit overtime. I`m tuning in now to hear the first half of `UBMP` on its secret semi-repeat, as I often do 25 hours after original Sunday airing at 2200 when I am distracted by other audio/viewing --- but not any more! This time has finally been sold, for the first program of ``Living by the Sword`` from Gospel Gunslingers --- I kid you not: the confluence of deadly violence, The Second Amendment, and Christianity [gunshot SFX]: none of that ``other cheek`` crap: ``thou shalt murder thine enemies``. O, where`s that? Apparently plenty of Biblical references can be dredged along those lines, as I tune away in less than two minutes. Now the only alternative for `UBMP` is UT Sundays at 0300-0400 on Radio Angela 5130- only, where webcasting is banned; but it`s `billed` as original airing, with Sun 2200 on 7490-, the only and now final, repeat. But even on webcast, it`s never in $ tereo. Music on a couple recent shows I haven`t much cared for, but heh heh, I come back as UB eclectically invites (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5130 minus 23 Hz = 5129.977, Sept 13 at 0358, WBCQ R. Angela asking for donations as they are ``working on getting two 100 kW transmitters to the station``; whence? Presumably used. S9/+10 after bluegrass show, sounded like Dolly. Next week on the third Monday = UT Tuesday Sept 20, sked shows at 0355: ``El gringo viejo con mucha cuerda (language: Spanish), Host: Scott Hadley (Mexico), Format: Scott presents a custom-tailored version of his popular short on radio station XHBUAP in Mexico in which he presents early recordings made in Latin America.`` --- where is XHBUAP? 96.9, a 10 kW college station in Heroica Puebla de Zaragoza, Puebla, per WTFDA FM Database, which I might have DXed were it not for a local on same. BUAP stands for Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. That means Meritorious, or Worthy. ``Autonomy`` is a big deal among Mex Univs unlike USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Reply to my last report: ``Glenn, not SW but FYI: `NBC News Daily` apparently has four live feeds starting at 16, 17, 18, And 19 UT. Stations can choose which one to air, regardless of location. The previous soap opera also had multiple feed options. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` --- hmm, does that mean each hour is different as news develops? Or mostly the same with different ``live`` timechex. What if a hot-news affiliate wanted to run it more than once? Of course, `Nightly` has long provided two feeds at 2230 & 2300 UT, for affiliate convenience, presumably the same unless news be really, really, breaking; and likely later ones for west coast. BTW, `not SW` is not a problem, as I and the WOR iog are open to much broader media coverage, ``above all, SW`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0437 UT September 13

** ALGERIA. 17600, Sept 11 at 2208, S2/S3 of secular-sounding Arabic talk, no doubt TDA, and the OSOB = only signal on band, since on Sunday 17855 Spain is already off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11880, Sept 11 at 2214, S6/S9 of dead air when RHC is supposed to be Frenching; 11850 Spanish is JBM with JBA plus/minus 10 kHz parasitic spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

AMNarrow or LSB helps a bit but still squealy. Recheck at 1757, VON is OFF, supposed to run another hour in English and after that Fulfulde vs heavy ChiCom CCI not 2ACI. VON may be cutting off and on erratically should I have cared to keep on it. But by 1817 recheck, the H2Ofall is blank, as Peter, EA8BFK = DJ9PC must have recaptured it for his own hamming as per standard warning. 1907 it`s back, nothing but CRI Turkish, huge S9+10/25 and almost on-frequency. Hard to believe this be all the way from Kunming instead of E Turkistan. SDR location is the CI of Fuerteventura. Antenna is ``80m Loop`` -- measuring 80 metres, or peaking on the 80m band? It worx well anyway on 40m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6920 USB, Sept 11 at 2220, rock music S5/S6.

WORLD OF RADIO 2155 monitoring: tnx to Vern who explains without my asking what happened UT Sunday circa 0315 UT: ``Hi Glenn, This is to let you know that WOR 2155 did not air in the 22:15 CDT slot on Sept. 10. An area wide power outage from 21:25 to 23:55, caused by a severe lightning thunderstorm in the area. It caused WA0RCR to be off air during that time. Operation did not resume until 23:56 CDT. Vern Jackson`` -- I wish other affiliates would do that. Confirmed Sunday September 11 at 2005, the 2000 on AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+5/18 well atop musical understation. Yesterday 918 was also on and much better into same nearby Noale SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday September 12 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+5 into Maryland SDR with usual noise burst for a few seconds at start. Also confirmed ENDING at 0259 UT Monday Sept 12 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160-, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, and right into Hobart Radio International, both half an hour early! Larry Will says sorry, it was a one-time automation mixup. BTW, HRI program was dated 23 July - 13 August, i.e. was supposed to repeat week after week over a monthlong period, now long past.

Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330v, Sept 12 at 1523 check, WLCR/WBCQ is still AWOL at least during this hour. What does WLCR own sked say? https://www.worldslastchance.com/wlc-radio-broadcast-schedule.html 9330, nonstop 24h including nothing but English 1100-2400, all at 253 degrees, yet specifying different targets: Central/West USA at 11-14; Canada/Upper Mid-West USA at 14-17; East/Central USA at 17-24. Why 253 degrees? I had not realized until tracking it on my NGS Globe with geometer, that it`s aimed right at Enid! Thus WLCR has been dedicated from the outset to convincing ME that the World is flat!! And incidentally that there is some wacky deity, ``Preparing for Yahuwah`s Earthly Kingdom, Established at Yahushua`s Imminent Return!`` -- Y & Y, what`s the diff? Guess I have not been paying attention, but ``don`t spell me Yahweh!``. Cf. WMLK and Station YHWH. Anyhow, no one is in a better position than I to divine whether 9330 be on the air or not during all those hours. 253 degrees also crosses near Detroit, out of USA east of El Paso, and out of Norteamérica across BCS. Eventually it hits Tahiti, and New Zealand. This is slightly beyond the nominal azimuth of all the ``classic`` WBCQ antennas, 245 degrees as in FCC, while 9330 has a wide variety of other angles registered, totally different from own current sked. Still nothing but 9330, no other imaginary frequencies contemplated as in original plan, since they still haven`t figured out how to QSY. For a while they were compensating for this by hiring some time elsewhere, still IDing as if WBCQ, but has anyone heard those lately: current HFCC shows Spaceline, Sofia, Bulgaria for Allan H Weiner: Perhaps only one at a time, or none: 07-12 13840 & 17520, 07-15 15780, all multilingual, daily, 250 kW at 156 degrees to CIRAFs 38,39,48,47E = NE, E and C Africa from Libya to Sudan to Kenya, and Turkey thru Arabian Peninsula, of course including Egypt HQ of the cosmetix magnate instigator, an alien who could not own a US SW station directly. What`s his name? Lotsa luck finding it at https://www.worldslastchance.com/founders-headquarters.html with weasely generalities. New Jerusalem, really? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. RF 27, KFOR-TV OKC ``4`` with premiere of `NBC News Daily`, Sept 12 at 1800 UT. This hour replaces the soapera `DOOL` which has been banished to Peacock after countless decades on real air. Opening gives time of 2 pm in the east, 11 am in the west, --- and 1 pm in St Louis!!! Incredible, a national coastal-based network acknowledging that there be anything such as a different timezone in the great Central US. Will they ever mention Denver, or Phœnix? Evidently it`s running live everywhere, rather than 3-hour delay to PDT, so must require some other program-juggling. This fortuitously coincides with EIIR* super-coverage destined to last at least another week, but by 1808 already moved on to T**** and many other topix. Some of same anchors, but no, not on MSNBC too. Let`s hope it continue to cover the news broadly with twice as much time M-F as `Nightly` which is airing before sundown in most of the country. At least here, confronts `The Talk` on CBS, and an hour after `GMA3` on ABC, hardly hard news there. NBC provides 1822 & 1852 cutaways used for local weather, hostessed by the very pregnant meteorologiste Emily Sutton; https://kfor.com/news/local/big-announcement-kfors-emily-sutton-is-expecting/ She`s also on the pre-sunrise shift, #2 only to Mike Morgan in primetime 4 pm+.

A hopeless situation. The Sunday 1500 broadcast also must be missing, since at 1456 & 1500 chex, its only known frequencies, 11760 & 15140 are both OFF. Still on is 15230, VP undermodulated presumably Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 10 at 2159, R.

For Sept 8, Day 197: http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_08_09_22.mp3 including: U continues counteroffensive, 30 strixe launched. R command post destroyed. Almost 640 Rs KIA, highest daily total so far, in all more then 51K. High alert along BR border. In Mariupol R continues preps for show trial of Azov defenders, also civilians. UN mission to arrive in a Donetsk village to investigate R attack. After 6 weeks, R returned body of British volunteer, tortured and murdered? body is mutilated, needs forensic investigation. Companion is still in captivity. US has evidence that Putin admin officials are in charge of occupied areas, war crime. Hundreds of thousands of Us deported to R. US SOS Blinken arrived in Kyiv, $ 2 billion aid package for U and neighbors in Europe announced.

Proms on the BBC World Service --- The BBC Sounds linx to Proms have been displaying almost-year-long access, so I have been taking my time listening to them, so far up to only #17. However, on air announcements have been saying for only 30 days following the Last Night! Taking a look, #64 shows for 30 days from now, i.e. September 40 or about October 10, while #65 shows 359 days!

``Classical music Last night of the Proms cancelled out of respect for Queen After cancellation of Thursday evening’s event, BBC announces final two concerts of the eight-week season will not go ahead Last modified on Fri 9 Sep 2022 16.45 EDT The BBC has announced that both Friday and Saturday’s Proms have been cancelled. Saturday would have been the Last Night, the traditional celebration that concludes the eight-week classical music festival that takes place predominantly in the Royal Albert Hall. Although the Last Night has been modified in response to public events (the programme was changed in 1997 after the death of Diana Princess of Wales and in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks) this is the first time since the second world war that the final concert has not taken place at all. Thursday night’s concert – the first of two due to feature the Philadelphia Orchestra – was also called off only half an hour before the event. An announcement was made at 7 pm, and with much of the audience already arriving at the venue, the orchestra instead played the National Anthem and Elgar’s Nimrod. The Royal Box remained empty and the curtain behind the seats was closed as a mark of respect. Later that evening the BBC announced that the season’s two remaining Proms would also be cancelled “as a mark of respect”. Saturday’s Prom was to have featured soprano Lise Davidsen and cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason with Dalia Stasevska conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Many people on social media questioned the decision and saw it as a missed opportunity to use the Last Night as a musical tribute to the Queen. The event was due to be broadcast live on BBC Two and its second half on BBC One as well as on BBC Radio 3 and across the world.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.
