Saturday, October 08 2022
![Hauser](http://www.hard-core-dx.com/images/hcdx/wor.gif) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Oct 8 start listening via Argentine remote circa 1440 but nothing until cuts on during song at *1449; 1456 canned standard sign-on, multilingual including English that this is in Spanish, 1457 staff names, 1458 themesong, 1502 recitation, but gone by 1505 already. It was very weak from the start and during my breakfast did not have a chance to fish for better signal via other SDRs, so at first thought it might have been fade-out or hit by SID; but nothing further following hour. Another bust.
WWV reported: ``Geophysical Alert Message Solar-terrestrial indices for 07 October follow. Solar flux 160 and estimated planetary A-index 15. The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 08 October was 3. No space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours. Space weather for the next 24 hours is predicted to be minor. Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level are likely.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** AUSTRALIA [non]. Monthly `Calling All Radio Nutzzz` on Unique Radio webcast, from 1800 Sat Oct 8: 1811, Jen in Denver starts a segment on language recognition. It`s the late Dr Richard E Wood, but he is never credited! About distinguishing among the Romance languages, as he perfectly pronounces words likely to be heard in IDs. 1818 change to another voice introducing longer examples of French, Italian, Rumanian, Portuguese, until 1822, on to GB with recordings of radio from Ivory Coast. From 1835 or so they are paging thru NASWA FRENDX of exactly 50 years ago, reminiscing about all the SW stations which no longer exist. CARN is monthly, until 2100 via http://uk4-vn.mixstream.net:8104/index.html?sid=1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL [and non]. 9665v, Oct 8 at 0630, unusually NO signal from RVM; bot some weak music on 9670, probably Channel 292, Germany (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 5800, Oct 8 at 0336, WRMI reactivated with Spanish, presumed R. República as scheduled, with heavy jamming at about equal level here. Now all other hours on 5800 are subject to jamming. At least that`s not a WOR frequency; jamming on 9955 is bad enough (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FINLAND [and non]. Sat Oct 8 is a date for almost-monthly Scandinavian Weekend Radio; no chance of hearing its 100 watts direct, but I have another go at it via UTwente, at 1608, without checking first which of its two alternate frequencies on each band now be scheduled: 5980 weak in English about Mongolia, must be New Zealand. 6170 weak music, heavy ACI de 6165 Chinese music. 11690 VG French from CGTN Kashgar. 11720 weak music, Vietnam sked, with heavy ACI from 11725 Chinese music, i.e. CGTN German service from Site-x. At 1614, UTwente measures 6169.992 at S7. Sked at http://www.swradio.net/schedule.htm shows the pair at 15-17 are 6170, 11720, so maybe I`ve really heard SWR on one or both. Earlier in the British DX Club: ``Fair signal of SWR, Finland at 0635 UT tune in on 11690, actually 11689.91 kHz with their monthly broadcast. Some deep fades SIO 343. Russ Cummings, SDRplay RSPdx,18m long wire, North Ferriby, East Yorkshire, UK`` Paul Watson at 1648: ``Scandinavian Weekend Radio being heard on 5800 via unknown relay, probably a Dutch pirate. Strong signal``. 24-hour transmission to end at 21 UT. From first? Saturday in November, should be 22 UT Fri to 22 UT Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 8 at 0703, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati; no other 9/kHz splits in quick scan of longer MW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 8 at *0637, VON S9/+10 but JBM. I had just checked Vanuatu 7260 at 0636, when VON was NOT on adjacently (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Oct 7 at 2034 UT, PN, ND beacon at PoNca City is OFF again; still off circa 0700 Oct 8. Had only come back Oct 4 after previous absence from at least Aug 23. And so it goes, and comes. Another check Oct 8 at 1753: 515 PN still off; still ON: 350 RG, 341 EI, 255 SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 2097.3 CW, Oct 8 at 0716 UT, single-letter beacon A, JBA every few seconds. First time heard this `season`, as occasional chex during summer confronted too hi noise level, so I wondered if it were still on air. From anywhere in SW desert, except Quartzsite AZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4095 CW, Oct 8 at 0717, immediately upon tune-in, DW and sweeps upward, the Desert Whooper beacon, JBA. Last heard Aug 21 when could not hear A on 2097.3, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2159 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday October 8 at 0400 on WRMI Radio Angela, 5130 minus 24 Hz = 5129.976 into Maryland SDR, S9/+10. Also confirmed Saturday October 8 at 1600, the first WRN airing, webcast of N American service. Next: 1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 0030 UT Sunday WRMI *7780 to SW 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0430] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 5950 [NEW] 0030 UT Monday WRMI *7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 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 *WRMI frequencies not yet reactivated, and may be considerable delay. At those scheduled times, check all other active WRMI frequencies in case there has been a schedule switch, at least temporarily. 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, preferably 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. 9455, Oct 8 at 0631, this reactivated WRMI also resumes its previous problem before it was Ianned: splatter, now audible down to 9405 at least, and even traces beyond the other WRMI 9395, to 9350 or so. Less of that upward to about 9470 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WRMI updates: On FB circa 22 UT Oct 7: ``No new frequencies are on the air today, but we were able to make progress on some of the transmission line restoration. We hope to be able to announce another frequency back on tomorrow. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, 5800, 5950, 9395, 9455 and 9955 kHz are running 24 hours per day.`` Direct from Jeff at 1537 UT Oct 8: ``Subject: 5010 kHz is back --- Friends, we have finished work on the 5010 kHz antenna, so it will come on at its usual time of 0000 UT this evening with its regular programming. We are continuing to work on other transmission lines today, but we don't expect to have any other frequencies back in operation today. We now have six of our previous 12 frequencies on the air with their normal schedules or with 24-hour operation. Jeff White, General Manager, WRMI Radio Miami International`` On FB circa 16 UT Oct 8: ``OK, folks, our engineers have finished the work on 5010 kHz and have tested it. It will come back on the air at its normal time of 0000 UT this evening (or possibly sooner) and will run through the night to 1600 UT tomorrow (October 9). We have already started work on two more frequencies which will take some time to reestablish, so they will not be on the air today. But 5010 is back, alongside 5800, 5950, 9395, 9455 and 9955 kHz. Thanks for all of your good wishes and support.`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 8 at 0636, R. Vanuatu, S7/S8 with flutter, better than usual direct, some music. At 0707 after their switch to 3945, X2 = 7890 is JBA, and X3 = 11835 is only S4/S6 with music, but seems to be QRM from a second carrier, 11835.5v but could be a local birdie. Have not noticed any such when RV was absent. EiBi and Aoki both fail to show RV on 11835, nor anything else, ever. HFCC likewise. Contrast Ron Howard`s report a bit later: ``New happenings for Radio Vanuatu? Oct 8, Marshall Reel, at 0747 UT, was having decent reception on RV's 3rd harmonic of 11835 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TATj_Y_zf6s ). But when I randomly listened to RV from 0910 till off after the National Anthem at 1106* UT, I had no trace at all of RV on 11835 (nothing there the whole time!). Fundamental frequency of 3945 was unusable (only a carrier) and nothing on 4th harmonic of 15780. So only the 2nd harmonic on 7890 was heard with poor to fair reception. I find it hard to believe I was unable to get any 11835 signal, as normally that is fairly good. Needs more monitoring! Ron, Asilomar State Beach, Calif. (near Monterey), Etón E1, external antenna: 100 ft. long wire`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1906 UT October 8

Saturday, October 08 2022
![Hauser](http://www.hard-core-dx.com/images/hcdx/wor.gif) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Oct 7 at 1440 past 1600, monitoring for LRA36 via Argentine remote, in case of a Friday make-good after AWOL Wednesday, but nothing; nor did Gary Pence hear it. Better luck on Saturday? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA [and non]. Just before bedtime Oct 7, neighborhood power failure at 0610 UT! Soon notified OG&E, which restored it at 0733, cause unknown, fried squirrel? So meanwhile, I take the opportunity to DX during a sesquihour of no local powerline noise, quite a treat, tho my main rx are not set up for battery power, seldom needed. So I`m on the DX-398, altazimuth wrist mount. I don`t expect anything superlative, but what else is there to do? See also NICARAGUA. At 0641 on 650, I again have talk in English with WSM nulled. Previously suspected KGAB Wyoming. All I can catch is phone-in number 877-332-8255. Reversely uplooking phone numbers is often unproductive, but this goes right to: CKOM! in Saskatoon. Guess what: all its night power is supposed to go north, only a minor lobe south on day pattern, per NRC Book: Yet another Canadian invading American airspace on AM. It`s U4 10/10 kW. Radio-locator claims CKOM is direxional only at night. Last logged here Oct 28, 2018 and Sept 7, 2017. Now making a `fast SAH` with WSM. IIRC, WSM was once known as the one station always sticking to precise frequency, but MWOffsets shows it on 650.0115 as of a year ago, ranging 649.9999 to 650.013. And CKOM: 649.9992, down to 649.9988-, as of 2020y. That means a nominal separation of 12.3 Hz or maximum 14.2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 870, Oct 7 at 0649, ``wobbler`` carrier QRMing WWL, roughly also NW/SE, a typical Cuban defect. WRTH shows three R. Reloj outlets of, 10, 10 and 1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.994, Oct 7 at 2123 check, no signal today from R. Cairo into UTwente. Something`s amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NICARAGUA. 720, Oct 7 at 0635, nulling WGN, I hear recitation of Lord`s Prayer in Spanish. Surely it`s the closest overtly RCC Latin, R. Católica in Managua, so SS on 720 isn`t necessarily KSAH, Cuba, or Mexico, all secular. WRTH shows YNA3RC with 25 kW but at 1000-0430. During local power blackout, see CANADA, on DX-398, but should be audible anyway. Probably easiest Nickie, not unusually reported from USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.021, Oct 7 at 2243, S9+45/50 into UTwente, VOT English with some hum, much preferable to sometimes squeal, with music, and 2250 the 2-minute multilingual ID filler spiel reel much later in hour than usual, 2252 sign-off to 2253 fragment of IS and off* Something`s erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. Sporadic E MUF commonly in the 70s MHz, but not above 88; plenty to bounce beacons on 28, checking October 7 at 2015-2033 UT. Except for BC and Veracruz outliers, all from New England in the 1400-1600 mile range, so are they long Es, double-hop, or short F2 propagation? One of these logs leads me to a better updated beacon listing than WJ5O which stopped in 2016y but is still up, so I quote WI5V from now on. Precise frequencies as listed rather than measured, but close enough; next line after my logs is the WI5V info; and after that, stuff from individual QRZ.com pages. 28197 at 2015: DE VE7MTY/B CN99 --- --- --- --- [4 dashes, as below] 28.197 VE7MTY C PITT MEADOWS, BC # 25W, VERTICAL VE7MTY Canada flag Canada Martin W Hill 19696 115A AVENUE PITT MEADOWS, BC V3Y 1P1 Canada ``I have been operating a ten meter beacon since 1995 on 28.197 MHz running 25 watts.

WORLD OF RADIO 2159 monitoring: due to damage disruption at WRMI, just in case, I check active frequencies at previously scheduled times, such as 0130 UT Friday October 7, despite 5850 & 7730 transmitters still silent - even tho in this case, WOR was cancelled two weeks ago: nope. However at 0343 UT Friday October 7, I find WOR in progress on 9455, i.e. as had been scheduled at 0330 on another silent frequency, 7780. Skedgrid still shows Supreme Master TV during this hour on 9455. No telling what will happen by next week. However, a Radio World article about WRMI includes this bit of significant new info: “So far we have three antennas that are probably destroyed beyond repair: one to Europe, one to Africa and one to Central America and the South Pacific.” --- so that implies these frequencies are not coming back soon unless on some other antennas: 15770 and/or 7730 to Europe; 21525 to Africa; 7780 to Central America. 7780 affects several WOR broadcasts. Also confirmed Friday October 7 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S6/S8 direct, no jamming heard, but undermodulated: Also confirmed Friday October 7 from 1815.25 on IRRS SW via BULGARIA, 7290, S7/S9 into UTwente but not audible on x2 = 14580; and also via AM Italia, as if taking my advice, this week active on 918 kHz, VG, no QRM, S9+25 into nearby Noale SDR, while // 1323 is buried by Romania in German; and nothing on LW 207. WOR heard to completion 1844+. Tuning in earlier at 1758, 918 with inconsequential chat on `Off the Hook` show from WUSB on LINY, but chopped off just before 1800: ``IRRS SW Signing-on``, and `Feature Story News`, from Washington - not ``Free Speech News`` as someone guessed; as always, 7290 cuts on late, JIP just before 1801; 1803 `Spotlite` segment; 1805 IRRS ID, rock music fill to 1815 IRRS ID again, and then WOR. After WOR at 1844 a few words promoting? Sea Shepherd, cut to IRRS ID, 1845 music; 1853 check it`s Irish tunes, 1854 DJ and more such music. 7290 cuts off air at 1857* just as heavy ACI from 7295 CGTN English starts. Music continues on 918 until 1900 IRRS SW signing ``off``, QSL reports to otherwise denied P O Box in Milano, Verdi theme, to 1903.5 ID. Feed from Noale keeps cutting out. Enough of that - until 2030. Also confirmed Friday October 7 at 2044 the 2030 on AM Italia, both 918 kHz, S9+22 into Noale SDR; and 1323, S9/+12 with fast SAH and some CCI nowhere near as bad as at 1815 from Romania.

Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5800, Fri Oct 7 at 0347, the fifth WRMI transmitter back on air, in Spanish, presumed the new R. República hour three nights a week on WRMI itself in addition to from 0100 on 9490 via France. And 5800 is being jammed, as expected as I already heard jamming against nothing there at a later hour; here anyway, RR/WRMI is well atop. Once anything is jammed on a frequency, the Cubans will let it run much longer, causing collateral damage, until now restricted to only one WRMI frequency with exile broadcasts, 9955. 5800 was already on at 0130 when I heard the V of Mongolia relay starting. And for now extended beyond nominal 0400* again, still on at 0726 with Brother HyStairical about the imminent doom of Y2K! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7489.9v), Oct 7 at 2255 tuning the end of WBCQ webcast with special airing of `Extension 7490` as publicized. Sean was going to talk about radio, which I wanted to hear, and play music requests. I was out and set up to record from 2200 but it failed. I do hear him about to play three more tunes, but only has time for one, or part of one, as 2258 time is running out, and he must get off shortly since, admiringly and deferentially, he says what Hal Turner has to say will be much more important. HT won`t be for two more hours tonight but the original airing on Oct 4 was just before HT. Anyhow this episode will repeat next Tuesday and apparently same for the rest of October, so will have more chances to hear it. Uncle Bill Tilford took me to task for my remark about him and Hal Turner, so I asked, ``Bill, why be so quarrelsome?`` - and his reply: ``That's a fair and reasonable question, especially since this isn't one of my productions, nor is it a show "under my wing". But it IS a relatively new show, and like all new shows in shortwave, be they music, cooking or whatever, it deserves a more serious treatment that what was given here, especially since like some other shows, it appears to be going through the weird fraternity hazing ritual that the engineering and support staff in Monticello sometimes put new programs through on the schedule on 7490 and 6160. Intentionally or unintentionally, you may give readers the impression that this show is another helping of political or social polemic and can be dismissed as such, and while you are welcome to dislike his song choices or stories or all of the above, he (like any other new host) deserves a less dismissive introduction than what he received. Back when WBCQ was doing multiprogram specials on all channels, I thanked Overcomer on air a couple of times for giving up their regular hour to help make the simulcast possible (no, I did NOT hail Brother Stair as the prophet in so doing). Would you have taken me to task about having said something nice to TOM for letting us have their time?`` And then I got this from Sean Welsh himself: ``Hi Glenn, As a long time listener to WOR, I am quite concerned that you may need some clarification of a comment I made on my show "Extension 7490", according to a post that was relayed to me by a few listeners of my show. If you had listened to the entire show, you might have discovered that my show is mainly humour, music and radio and weird true life stories and sarcasm. My tail end "endorsement" of Mr. Turner was simply that - sarcasm. I think it was quite clear when I said at the end of my show "....I'll be on next month unless everything that Hal Turner says comes true, then I won't be here". My show contains doesn't contain [sic] any political matter - as a matter of fact, if I you had listened to the first 15 minutes of the show, I relayed a story concerning my encounter with a negative ham radio operator from Germany and his political views and how I played the "What The World Needs Now Is Love Sweet Love / Abraham Martin and John" by Tom Clay to contra that. I trust that you'll tune into a full hour next time so you may understand fully the concept of the show. 73 Sean Welsh`` So there you have it: I completely missed the sarcasm, and despite my best efforts could not hear the entire show this time. Now Sean has just joined the WOR iogroup so our contact should improve. `AAAWWW` starting on same at 0000 UT October 8 is recognized as rerun of last week, slipping up theme at the start, etc., so never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. UNIDENTIFIED, Posted to MW groups at 1541 UT Oct 7: 1160 kHz, Oct 7 at 0708 UT, surprised to hear a tonal SE Asian language here with KSL nulled, seems roughly east/west. Woman taking a phone call from a man, soon faded away. NRC AM Log has no ETHnix on 1160; there are of course Spanish. This could be part of a REL format, but so far by schedules have ruled out WYLL Chicago, KRDY San Antonio, which are in English at this time, if not all the time. Ideas? Tnx for replies on the IRCA iog: ``Mike Tammy 4:12pm #29504 It's the Dallas station that was bought out. I used to listen to it till it's sold.`` And: ``Paul B. Walker, Jr. 4:02pm #29503 ``KBDT Dallas, I think it was sold recently`` NRC AM Log had it as U4 35000/1000 Highland Park, address in Dallas, ``Big D Talk``. radiolocator.com shows night pattern with a very minor lobe to a notch thisaway from site between Flower Mound and Plano, north of The Metroplex, now Radio Saigon Dallas as in http://www.saigondallasradio.com/ and subtitled ``Snot Rocket Cock Socket Hot Pocket`` --- hmmm, perhaps more significant in Vietnamese? Google translate struggles and gets no further than: ``Snot Rocket Cock Socket Nóng bỏng`` Nóng bỏng back translated to English? Merely ``hot``. What about the microwave snack? Individually: hot, and burn. Pocket alone leads to túi or bao. Our VV lesson for the day. Now we`re ready for more KBDT! Calls have not changed so they need to come up with a new Vietnamese slogan to match (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0248 UT October 8

![Hauser](http://www.hard-core-dx.com/images/hcdx/wor.gif) ** CUBA. 6140, Oct 6 at 0642, JBA carrier, presumed leapfrog mixing product of RHC 6060 over 6100 another 40 kHz beyond, as possible when both those be on, even tho 6100 be S9/+10 of dead air, and 6060 S9+10/20 of undermodulated English, none others. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:
``Opinion - Editorial: As Cubans take to the streets to protest, where are Díaz-Canel and Raúl Castro? To crack down on the population now, when international aid is being sought to solve their problems, would be an inexcusable contradiction in the public's eyes. DDC Madrid 03 Oct 2022 - 15:04 CEST Cubans are once again taking to the streets to protest and make demands of the Government, as their living conditions have deteriorated significantly in recent days, and this is not because of the hurricane that recently affected the western provinces. All of Cuba is languishing without electricity and, therefore, in a dire state in terms of access to food and hospital care, to cite just two of the main deficiencies being suffered. Meanwhile, where is Miguel Díaz-Canel? Where is Raúl Castro?`` ... https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1664802281_41465.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Oct 6 at 0648, S9+10/20, Spanish about weather and power outages, presumed R. Rebelde reactivated rather than RHC, which briefly occupied 5025 in a mixup with 5040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2159) ** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, Oct 6 at 0632, JBA carrier presumed R. Kiribati; only other 9/kHz carriers in bottom half are 774 and 684, likely Spain remnants. Distance between Sevilla and Xmas I is 14736 km = 9157 stmi = 7957 nmi, tho we are hardly at the midpoint which would be circa Churchill, Manitoba. Simultaneous TA/TP demonstrates what great DX range MW can have; if only obstructive AM would be abolished in N America. Gary Pence was getting 846 weakly into Hawaii SDR at 0503 today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2159) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Oct 6 at 1501, V of Martyrs/Korea, already YL in presumed Dhivehi instead of English, S9+10/20, the SSOB except for Cuba and non on 11760, 11860, 11930, and of course blasting 12160 WWCR which just came up from 7490. However, 11825 is only S6/S8, the admittedly Kununurra site for VOMK`s simulBurmese, belying my theory that so is 11620.

At 1456, 9955 is S7/S8 quite undermodulated, and 9395, 9455 are not sufficiently mod either. Next up: 5800, from Jeff White at 1442: ``Dear Friends, Colleagues and Clients of WRMI: I am happy to report that our frequency of 5800 kHz is operational once again. It will come back on the air at its regular airtime today [22-04 UT], and possibly earlier. So now we have five frequencies operating again: 5800, 5950, 9395, 9455 and 9955 kHz. We continue to work on getting the other frequencies back up. Thank you for all of your messages of support as we make repairs from the damage caused by Hurricane Ian. Jeff White, General Manager`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2159) ** U S A. 9330v, Oct 6 at 0651, WBCQ with country song, strange for WLCR until listening to the repeating lyrix: ``There`s a dome over us; There was no Big Bang; Space is a farce; No astronauts in space``, i.e. the wacko dogma of World`s Last Chance Radio. 0655 cut to menacing theme and British accent, that the End Is Near (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5890, Thu Oct 6 at 0640, WWCR-4 is off again unlike last night, a mistake then?

![Hauser](http://www.hard-core-dx.com/images/hcdx/wor.gif) ** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Oct 5 from 1445 to 1540, NO signals from LRA36 this Wednesday into Argentine, Brazilian, Uruguayan remotes, tho the best Argie is still offline. Perhaps will make good on Friday Oct 7 as RNASG has done before when missing Wed, and/or the usual Saturday repeat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5800, Oct 5 at 0630, pulse jamming against nothing, obviously provoked by additional R. República scheduled 3 nights a week via WRMI itself at 03-04, even tho impossible now until that transmitter`s antenna be repaired! I warned that this would lead to more collateral damage against other programming too on 5800. Until now Cuban jamming has attacked only 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6100, Oct 5 at 0624, RHC English, S9/+10 but JBM; 6060 also S9/+10, sufficient modulation but some hum and distortion. No other frequencies on now. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Oct 5 at 2206. R. Cairo, S9+25 into UTwente with extremely distorted English. Something`s always abysmal at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 5 at 0621 UT, no signal here from R. Kiribati, but Gary Pence, KM5X, reports Oct 5, presumably via Hawai`i remote or maybe KFS: ``I didn`t check 846 until 0428z and they were on already. 73, Gary``. And Ron Howard: ``Recently observed while listening at Asilomar State Beach, Calif.: R. Kiribati (846), anomaly this week? Not on the air Oct 3 (Monday), when they normally would be broadcasting; heard Oct 4 as usual; on Wednesday (Oct 5) they were heard on the air from 0600+ UT, a day that would normally be off the air.`` So perhaps it go and come on an irregular basis, even within a single night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 5 at 0631, no signal from VON direct. At 1712 and later, no signal into Canary SDR, except JBA presumed Tibet not off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 11940, Wed Oct 5 at 2209, token English from REE features interview about Tim Burton`s ``Labyrinth`` opening in Madrid. More about it here, for one sesquiminute: https://www.usatoday.com/videos/entertainment/2022/09/29/dare-you-enter-tim-burtons-labyrinth/10459037002/ 11940 at S9/+18 is far better than 15520 or 17855 into Maryland SDR, even tho it`s for S America, as autumnal conditions prevail. Expect in B-22 will resume 9690 for N America, better than 17855 in our evenings, worse in mornings and daytime. For such a multi-hour span they should use at least two bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.002, Oct 5 at 2207, VOT English suceeds today, S9+50 into UTwente, undermodulated but sufficient if you turn it up. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Cuts off at 2256.5* after first extra ID in German during IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2158 monitoring: ``a short list due to Hurricane Ian. 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 #2158, 9395 and 5950 kHz only heard until the antenna farm can be fixed up. Hope to hear soon 5850 kHz, 1030 UT. Canadian Thanksgiving Day this weekend, Oct 10, 2022, happy turkey day to the Canadians. WRMI: 5950, static QRN, 0030, 0042, 0055 (55433), (55434), 0059, Oct 3 UT 2022 [Mon] 9395, lots of fading noticed, 0030, 0044, 0059 (45433), 0059, Oct 4 UT 2022 [Tue] 9395, QRN, 2330, jingle, 2345, 2358 S7 signal, 2358, Oct 4 UTC 2022 [Tue] (Lemke, Richard -AB) 73’s, Richard`` Confirmed Tuesday October 4 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S9+22 into Maryland SDR; the preceding `Midnight Cry` not quite finished with contact info when cut off at 2329.5 for ID. Also confirmed Wednesday October 5 at 2100+ on WBCQ 7489.9v, just barely on S4 signal direct = noise level. Straining, I could not copy program number or date, but ``Korea, Mexico`` in the billboard, which match this edition. Next: 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S [probably still off] 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, preferably by money order or check on a US bank. 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. At 1957 UT Oct 5, Jeff White of WRMI notified me: ``Hi everyone. I am very happy to say that we got 9955 kHz back on the air at 1900 UT today. I had expected it to happen tomorrow, but we were fortunate to have some fast progress today. It will remain on the air 24 hours per day until further notice. We continue to work on the other frequencies. We have four on the air now: 5950, 9395, 9455 and 9955 kHz -- all of them on 24 hours per day. Jeff``. 9955 confirmed at 2238 Oct 5 amid `Wavescan` about R. Dunedin, NZ, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR, well atop jamming. See also CUBA above, jamming added to 5800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5980, Oct 5 at 0626 as I tune downband, leapfrog mixing product at S8/S9 of TOMBS and University Network, so I know WWCR must be running both 5890 and 5935, and so they are, both blasting in. The transmitter sked on website expired Sept 30 but obviously still on the air; there may have been some seasonal QSY time adjustments. Program skeds not updated either, still for Sept 1 claiming that WWCR-4, 5890 operates overnight UT Sat & Sun only, ``OFF AIR`` 05-12 UT M-F, but this is Wednesday! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1550, Oct 5 at 2058 UT and several previous chex, I have been unable to detect KKLE, Winfield KS, which NRC DX News reported: ``550 KKLE KS Winfield – Silent Aug, 2; back on the air Sept. 20 at 2:30 p.m. Central time.`` It`s U1 250/52 watts, sibling station to KLEY 1130 Wellington KS, in fact with the same Wellington address, but news/talk. KLEY has continued active 24h with AC rock format, licensed as U1 250/1 watt but obviously day power at night. Higher in band means KKLE weaker here than KLEY but not that much difference on groundwave at similar distance. If really active, KKLE should also be 250 watts at night? KKLE may be playing games with FCC, like many stations, firing up briefly to avoid losing license, then off again. But I don`t recall hearing it before August 2 either (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 5 at 0631, weak signal no doubt RV, now without ACI from either side. Wish they were still switching to 11835 at 0600, as 0700+ is too late for me to hear their best signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2324 UT October 5
