Hauser
** ALBANIA [non]. 7730, Sept 6 at 0618, R. Tirana via WRMI, really
nice folk music resembling Greek that I could not tune away from, 0627
closing English, IS, theme and still opening misaligned German as if
on ``3985``. RT continues to ignore WRMI relays. This will shortly
turn off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA. 17600, Sept 5 at 2114, very weak Arabic pop music? S0/S2,
obviously TDA Béchar, OSOB except for inbooming SPAIN - a tremendous
disparity between two? hi? powers not that far apart but of course
with differing azimuths, REE thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Sept 6 at 0637, RHC, S9+30 in wrong language Spanish
news instead of English which is on 6165 only and unusually much
weaker, only S9+10/20 and undermod. 5040 also Spanish. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. The Other Side;

``Fidel Castro: The Destruction of the Cuban Nation
'In addition to the trauma of forcing Cuba's economy to operate under
socialist planning, we must add the underexamined effects of Castro's
personal interventions in the economy'
Jorge A. Sanguinetty Miami 05 Sep 2022 - 23:49 CEST...``
https://diariodecuba.com/economia/1662414566_42048.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13820, Sept 6 at 2118, residual pulse jamming JBA where Radio
Martí resides never in the A-seasons, and about the same on 13605,
where RM is in the A-seasons but never later than 2000*. But they`re
covered, protected, just in case! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13680, Sept 6 at 2119, RHC Spanish suptorted at S2/S5 but
soon fading to JBA. Much louder and less distorted on // 13740 at
S4/S7. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, Sept 6 at 2126, JBA carrier direct, presumably R.
Cairo. 9439.994+, Sept 6 at 2159, S9+20/40 into UTwente, hugely
distorted, totally worthless. Something`s always egregious in Egypt
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 6 at 0616, VON is S9/+10 direct but
undermodulated.

7255-, Sept 6 at 1730, no signal into Canary SDR; unfortunately I had
left volume turned up while #2 in queue and out of the room, so noise
blasted out at first. At 1740 nothing on 9690, and only Chinese? on
11770. 1825, still nothing on 7255- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 27025 AM, Sept 6 at 2108, ``W in Puerto Rico``, leave
it to some CBer to prove that skip is viable, among hets from a few
others piling up on this most active channel. I have just been
bandscanning 10, 12, 15m hambands with NO phones, and not even beacons
on 28 MHz; and nothing but a weak unID bilingual on 18137 USB at 2112.
Assuming he is really in PR; also has some serial number in a CB DX
group. Meanwhile SPAIN inbooms on 17855 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN [and non]. 17855, Sept 6 at 2112, REE is S9+, despite K-index
of 4 at 2100, OSOB except for a much weaker 17600 ALGERIA. Since it`s
Tuesday no SpEnglish an hour later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 5, VOT extraneous German after 2300 chopped off
air at 2342* when the sloppyrator woke up; something`s always
erroneous at Emirler. Sept 6 at 2217, still no show of English into
UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE. (7730), presumed still at 0500, Sept 6, UR1 via WRMI,
`Ukraine: Security Issue` war summary in English, copied later via:
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_05_09_22.mp3
with the heavily accented and fast-talking caster so played back at
0.75 speed. or even 0.5, including: does not start with date but
mentions Day 194 in passing; settlements liberated; R army lost 49,800
servicemen; U destroyed over 2000 enemy tanx, over 4500 armored
vehicles, and more than 1000 ártillery systems, over 200 jets and over
205? cruise missiles shot down. Past day R launched 25 strikes,
against both civilian and military infrastruxure. Mykolaiv shelled
with S300 missiles. R not ready for peace negotiations, only language
understood is force. Statements from Czech Republic and Germany.
Germany to aid displaced people (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 245 MCW kHz, Sept 6 at 0642 UT, FS, 400-watt ND beacon at
Falls, Sioux, SD.

293 MCW kHz, Sept 6 circa 1500 UT long after sunrise, FBY, 25-watt ND
beacon at Fairbury, second-adjacent state Nebraska. Could this
possibly arrive by groundwave? 422 km = 262 miles. Or remnant skywave
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15120, Sept 6 at 2116, S9+35 of open carrier already, VOA
Grimesland warming up for 2130 Bambara M-F, OSOB by far. What a waste?
Not unusual to be on even earlier. Also exemplifies how overseas
stations could reach deep N America with such a relay, if they cared
to; and this of course is directly off the back, forward aim being W
Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2154 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday September 6 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+20 into Maryland SDR.
Inserted before WOR and after canned ID, usual dire warning from Jeff
White: ``and now the world is in turmoil``! 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

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. 9455, Sept 6 at 0634, WRMI AWOL from here while still going
on 9395 at S9+10/20 but not 9955 either. 9455 still/again OFF at 2125,
while 9395 remains and weaker 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330v, Sept 6 at 1531, NO signal from WLCR/WBCQ, again. I
have run across it at various other times, but much more interesting
when it`s absent. OK, OK, I happen to notice 9330.1v is on, Sept 6 at
2126 in English, S9+20 but with splatter from 9350 WWCR, a measly only
100 kW whose rhombic achieves blasting S9+60! here, not even aimed
thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7932.056, Sept 6 at 0612, NEW FREQUENCY for R. Vanuatu,
JBA music and talk vs CODAR. Therefore the fundamental 3945 which used
to double on 7890, must have shifted to 3966! May have been there for
a while since much better heard X3 on 11835 has been missing. Many tnx
to discovery by Ron Howard, who reported on the WOR iog Sept 5:

``Very nice Radio Vanuatu (7932 kHz. - 2nd harmonic) audio! -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXxMEwl0Mvs .
0558 UT (on audio 1:55-03:02): The often heard Mental Health PSA.
0601-0604 (on audio 5:00-8:00): News in Bislama; starting and ending
with the usual theme music for the news. So we should also be
listening for the 3rd harmonic on 11898 kHz. and also the 4th harmonic
at 15864 kHz. Ron, California``

Earlier replies: Don Moman, Alberta: ``just noting a faint signal on
7932.050 at 0512, music and talking under the sweeper/CODAR signal.
Wasn't there before 0500.``

Walt Salmaniw, BC: ``Don, noticing the same with weak audio from
Masset at 0525 check``

Don: ``English ad and Radio Vanuatu ID around 0600``

Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain at 0628: ``Hi Ron, thank you very much for
the timely alert, I am not in Friol or Reinante today, here in Lugo
only a weak carrier on 7932. Via SDR Kiwi remote receivers in New
Zealand good signal but nothing on 3966, neither on 11898 nor on
15864. It is possible that 7932 is the frequency in which they are
emitting and it is not a harmonic? --- Closed on 7932 at 0659. Bests
73,s``

Don: ``they were very good signal here by 0600 and for a long time
after until I tuned out.``

Back to gh myself: 11898.086, Sept 6 at 0608, JBA carrier, presumed RV
3 x 3966.03 --- this is *much* weaker than it used to be on 11835.
First I had a very slightly stronger JBA carrier on 11897.538, no idea
what, could be local birdie. After that, I made 7932.056 log.

Note that 11895 is normally dominated by CRI English via EAST
TURKISTAN, std denunciation, at 05-09, but not much from that tonight,
with higher-latitude paths degraded. Nothing around 15864 either.

Before seeing my 11898+ report above, Ron Howard posted: ``VANUATU.
7932, Radio Vanuatu, 0535-0659* UT Sept 6. Again being heard, but on
this new frequency; seems this must be the fundamental/primary
frequency (*not a harmonic*), as no carrier heard on 3966 nor 11898;
CODAR QRM, as also reported by others. After 0659, I couldn't find
them anywhere (2485, 3945, 5040, 7260, etc.). Here are a few
highlights (in general they played a lot of nice island music!):
0535-0544 UT: Phone interview.
0555-0600: Usual series of PSAs, commercial announcements, etc.
0600-0603: News in Bislama; unreadable.
0630-0640: Weather update for the many provinces.
0656: Advertisement for sugarcane products produced by "83 Islands
Distillery" [ https://83islands.com/ ](my brief audio attached); PSA
for vaccinations against measles. Ron, California``

Wolfgang Bueschel: ``Requests for B-22 season, daily 30 Oct-26 March

Hauser
** BRAZIL. 4985, Sept 5 at 0631, music S5/S7, quite separable from
RTTY QRM by LSB tuning, i.e. R. Brasil Central, Goiânia. Sounds the
same on S1/S2 11815 but not trying to match // on second receiver,
both too weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, Sept 5 at 0046, RHC Spanish, S9+25 but suptorted,
flanked by 11840 parasitic spur too weak to hear any mod; and weaker
11860 vs jamming remnants. //11670 slightly better. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, Sept 5 at 0622, RHC English again on this
``Spanish-only`` channel overtime, S9+10 but distorted. Other English
still on: 6165 VG S9+20/30; and 5040 instead of Spanish at 0632,
S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9590, Sept 5 at 0051, S8/9+5 with flutter, soft YL
song in Spanish, what`s this? CGTN Radio = CRI Spanish service for 4
hours at 23-03 via Kashgar, or as Aoki spells it, Kashi-Saiba; land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994v, Sept 5 at 2200, no signal from R. Cairo English
sesquihour at midpoint into Maryland SDR. Something`s always abysmal
at Abis. Over to Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Sept 5 at 0634, significant carrier no doubt
from R. Kiribati, and nothing else on 9-kHz channels (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Sept 5 at 0621, VON is on, at S9/+10 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4 AM, Sept 5 at 0044, S9 of undermodulated music
relayed by local Enid CB pirate, // 97.7 so KHRK Hennessey is still
the beneficiary probably without even knowing it (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 7375, Sept 5 at 0037, RRI English with Cuban
pulse jamming. It is extremely irresponsible to schedule your own
broadcast on any frequency ever, at some other hour, or at some other
season, occupied by Radio Martí, for it is then subject to collateral
damage from irresponsible Cuban jamming, even if the HFCC
registrations imply it be clear!!! RRI also on // 9550 but weaker; and
that has some INTRUDING 2-way on 9550.5 USB. EiBi shows RRI at 00-01
on 7375 only, not caught up with reactivation of the other
Tsiganeshti, while Aoki shows both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday September 5 at 2200 REE token English achieves
all four frequencies into Maryland SDR. This one is S9/+15; 11940
S7/S9, 15520 S5/S7, 11670 S3/S5, as apropos target-wise. The only
other 16m signal on the H2Ofall is a weak 17600, obviously Algeria.

Justin Coe says this show will intro the new third person in the
English sexion, Hélena Rigobert [sp? sounds like but never spelt out].
She gets to do her first broadcast as the sports bit at 2204 ending
the news. 2205.6 music and feature: Justin says EE has been a twofer
since 6/21 when Alison Hughes retired [I think Amy Egan must have
started about then, or a bit earlier?] H.R. is a Catalan from
Barcelona. Some music breaks for one of her favorites, a boogie-woogie
pianist. They discuss Madrid, cable cars, etc. 2214, ``Mishu`` is a
Korean name for any cat and it`s mixed up with the U State of Missouri
[or Mizzou?]. Korean? O, part of her background is having spent time
in P/Busan, Korea South at an English-language radio station for
expats and Koreans learning English, BeFM, befm.or.kr [WTFK? 90.5 &
103.3: https://befm.or.kr/main.php?lang=eng - bilingual homepage]. She
did not perfect her Korean, but after she went back to Spain, still
filed live reports for their morning show causing her to stay up till
3 am. 2219 tune `The Balearic Shuffle` - she has been to four of the
islands, Justin to only two. Short flight from Barcelona; several
hours by ferry if you take your car and stay overnight. Then she was
working for Radio 4, the mostly-Catalan network. 2225 a final tune,
`Apocalypse Boogie`. It was never explained how and why she speaks
English - well, with a slight accent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9870, Sept 5 at 0057, VOT IS interspersed with Spanish IDs
carefully pronounced ``Esta es la Voz de Türkiye``, no longer allowed
to call it Turquía, S6/S8; sked 01-02 also on 7260 unchecked i.e.
INTRUDING in the W Hemisphere target exclusive hamband (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 5 at 2200, no signal from VOT into Maryland
rather than English ``to`` N America; something`s always erroneous at
Emirler. Over to Noblejas --- but 2230 recheck, now VOT is on having
started late, S9/+10 and .002 kHz plus, soon intro apparent new
feature, `New Day, New [illegible]`, about climate change.

Rechecked at 2324, oh2, it`s still on +.003 kHz with extraneous German
program, familiar theme of `Feeling Supreme` but I can`t make out the
title auf Deutsch; Türkiyeisch accent doesn`t help. Until the outro at
2332: `Gesund-Leben`, equivalent to the subtitle auf Englisch. 2335,
`Wussten Sie das?` = `DYKT?`. Immer etwas irrtümlich zu Emirler. I
wonder if dozens of languages present the same program segments in
translations? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. (7730), UR1 via WRMI circa 0500 following day,
`Ukraine: Security Issue` as copied later via:
http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_02_09_22.mp3
for Sept 2, Day 191, including: R trying to prevent IAEA from
determining state of nuke plant; not allowed into crisis center;
workers not allowed to talk to mission. 2-hour visit only, but 5
stayed on. Journalists supposed to accompany, but not allowed in.
Lithuania says Zap. plant poses threat to countries beyond. R will not
de-militarize plant. No day goes by without civilian casualties.
Donbas extremely tense, but R not take control of entire Donetsk, U
holds 50%. R moved deadline to Sept 15. U continues counter-offensive
in south. R lost more than 900 elite military during war per BBC.
Almost 49K Rs killed. R forming new forces for winter offensive.

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_03_09_22.mp3
for Sept 3 [said 4?], Day 192, including: Strategic turning point
still far away. Enemy still has large margin of strength. U army
receiving American aircraft. $ 100 million allocated for training U
pilots. Biden requested another $ 11 billion to support U. U continuing
to destroy Russian logistix. R trying to build pontoon crossings where
bridges have been destroyed. U offensives in Kherson region continue.
Enemy`s weaknesses in logistix, management and command. Anti-aircraft
missiles destroying R cruise missiles. More than 7K U civilians
killed, more than 5K injured during war. More than 22K shellings of
civilian infrastruxure. 76% of Russian civilians support U civ
killings? Occupiers constantly shelling area of Zap NPP, blaming U for
that.

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_04_09_22.mp3
for day 193, including: R has fired at least 3500 missiles into U;
more than a dozen settlements in Donbas under fire. Most youth and
families already left, elderly remain. They will be without water,
electricity in autumn, winter, should evacuate. R occupiers banned
humanitarian goods importation, medicine. None delivered to hospitals.
Genocide of U people in temp occupied terrs continues. IAEA at Zap
NPP. Turk pres conversation with Putin. To meet on Sept 15-16 at
summit in Samarkhand, Uzbekistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2154 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday September 4 after 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S5/S8
but noisy into nearby Noale SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 5 at 0035 the 0030 on WRMI 7780,
S9/+5 direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday September 5 from 0302:19 on WBCQ Area 51,
6160 minus 62/67 Hz = 6159.933 to .938, S5/S7 into Maryland SDR, with
heavy ACI from 6165 Cuba even with LSB tuning, late after JL ran over.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 6160-, Sept 5 at 0102, something on Area 51 via
WBCQ is quite buried by S9+45/50 splash from 6165 RHC as some American
traitor asserts how much better Cuba is in numerous ways. More
easterly, I think, WBCQ sometimes QRMs Cuba, as these two neighbors
refuse to distance themselves for mutual benefit (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5970, Sept 5 at 0101, RCM, WEWN is back on night frequency,
S9+35 of Lord`s Prayer in Spanish - it seems the Lord never tires of
`hearing` it; what an ego-booster! But 0624 recheck, 5970 off again;
no longer all-night, or sporadic? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Sept 5 at 0621 check, RV still off (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 4940, Sept 5 at 0627, praise music in Spanish, S7/S9,
the long-running 24 hour pirate carrying `Fuerza de Paz` missionary
programming, which I rarely bother to log. Shortly after it appeared,
we got a TDOA to the same area which Rafael Rodríguez, Colombia now
reports, G.C. 7.20 north, 69.00 west, in SW Venezuela near the
Colombian border:
https://www.w4uvh.net/4940.jpg

``Greetings from Colombia, Thanks to the activation of a KiwiSDR in
the town of Facatativa, very close to Bogotá; I can perform a
radiolocation of the signal in 4940 kHz through the TDoA function that
these receivers have. I do it through the kiwis located in Bonaire,
Boavista and Facatativa. I attach the image with the result. Although
this is not conclusive, it reaffirms my theory that the signal
originates in Venezuela according to the image from Estado Apure.
Rafael Rodriguez R., Bogotá D.C. - COLOMBIA``

WRTH 2022 places it under COLOMBIA as the only SW station left, in
Arauca with 1 kW, but keyed as DC26) since RRR himself is QSL manager
with a mailing address in the capital district. It seems to me its
ambiguity, no callsign or known license to one country or another,
qualifies it as a PIRATE (not Clandestine), but seldom acknowledged as
such, e.g. not reported in Free Radio Weekly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
** ANDORRA [non]. 13730, Sept 3 at *2200, another monthly R. Andorra
revival special via AUSTRIA, opens with IS, ID, songs and lots of
French talk; only thing I recognize is `Rhapsody in Bleu` at 2230.
Continues until 2400*, VG S9+20/30 into Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Sun Sept 4 at 1443, RHC Spanish, S9+20 but distorted,
slightly less so on 11760; ditto during token Esperanto at 1512 check
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440 minus 5/6 Hz, Sept 3 at 2223, R. Cairo at S8/9+15 into
Maryland SDR mostly humwhine, distorted English? modulation, useless.
Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960, UT Sun Sept 4 at 0059, rock at S9/+20
direct but noisy, presumed The Mighty KBC via GERMANY, back on S/D/M
season frequency ex-9925 always for J-season only. Expected but I
haven`t seen any advance publicity about the QSY (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 4 at 0630, VON is on at S7/S9.

7255-, Sept 4 at 1857, tune-in via Canary SDR just in time to hear VON
sign-off in English, drumming IS, vs open carrier from CRI, but
holding its own tho slightly off-key as result. Did not get frequency
measured exactly in time. 1900 CRI IS overrides, Turkish via Kunming
far beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960, Sept 4 at 0048 tune-in direct, two AM pirates

fringer, rather KWTU Tulsa, only 5 kW ERP at 325 meters. APRS shows

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Saturday Sept 3 tune-in at 1439 via
Argentine remote, no signal yet from LRA36. Chops on mid-song at
*1452.4, now with good sufficient signal. 1455 ``Esperanza Audaz``
canned sign-on with staff names, ``Nacional, la radio pública``. 1456
unknown song, 1457 vamp music; 1458 the quadrilingual advisory that
this is going to be in Spanish. They can`t agree what to call it, R.
Arcángel San Gabriel, or Radio San Gabriel. 1459 repeat the s/on with
staff names, then Esperanza/Antártida themesong. 1503 reading a
historical piece about Isla Decepción, mentioning Nathan Palmer, of
Peninsula fame. 1506 song.

1510 ID with ``su compañía``, María Eugenia that this is the 19th
program of the 2022 cycle. Greets a Chilean base, or the Esperanza
manager who has been visiting there. Currently minus 1 C after a low
of minus 8. 1515 phone numbers and all the other platforms for
contact. 1517 music; 1521 ``nos une`` ID. 1521 efemérides = this week
in history first about events in 1897, 1898, 1899, with music
background. 1530 song; 1532 more about Isla Decepción, with an
inactive volcano; Deception is just north of Palmer Peninsula.

1539 long phone interview with a guy, lo-fi distorted, hard to follow
until 1558 wrapup, ``encerramos este programa``, I think they
mentioned date but missed it whether Wed Aug 31 or today Sept 3. 1559
song. 1604 replays the ``s/on`` with staff list, ``la radio hech@ por
mujeres``, another songbit to 1605*. Now I see someone in Hamburg also
on the SDR. At the outset Gary Pence in Dallas, and someone in London,
the one in UK, not Kiritimati, were already on it a few minutes before
me.

Gary tells me: ``Well, at 1452z set off and running and coming in just
a little better than jba but not by much into KiWi SDR SE Half Moon
Bay, CA. I quit listening after 1523z as they were below the noise of
S4 more than they were above that. They barely hit one S unit above
noise floor a couple of times. I wonder if because of their
circumstances their antenna used is acting like a NVIS ant. because it
was quite loud at the LU4AA QTH vs anything stateside, much less
further away? If their intended audience is the home front, well, I
guess that's OK too. Gary``

It`s over 2 kilomiles from Esperanza to Bs As, so too far for NVIS. On
my NGS globe as it seems distancefromto.net lax Esperanza in database.
Even when I specify Antarctica, it leads to some places in southern
Argentina or CHile. Considering it`s under 1 kW, doing pretty well
that far, let alone California (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CONGO. 6115, Sat Sept 3 from circa 0530 until blocked by DRM noise
from FRANCE by *0559.8, NO signal at all, not even JBA carrier from R.
Congo into Canary SDR. Yet Ron Howard was getting it direct, far
beyond Canary on the California coast:

``Sept 3, checked for Radio Congo on 6115, starting at 0515+ UT; about
0525 had an extremely weak carrier; by 0545, the signal was
considerably stronger, but still no audio heard; finally about 0555
heard definite audio with announcers; mostly unusable; a few seconds
before 0600, the DRM started up and completely blocked 6115. So from
0525+ their signal very slowly improved. Assume they are still testing
the new transmitter and running much less than 50 KW at this time? No
QRM from Japan for this time period, but heard later with good signal.
Ron California``

6115 minus 0 to 3 Hz, Sept 3 at 1802. presumed R. Congo JBA into
Canary SDR. Manuel Méndez direct to Spain says it cut off abruptly
when news in French ended today at 1826* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, Sept 3 at 0702, RHC English is still on here only. I`m
up way too late, so no idea how long it lasted; presumably had just
restarted English hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC. At least its
QRM further discourages listening to the TOMBS nonsense on 6160-
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GREECE [non]. 5129.974, UT Sat Sept 3 at 0230-0300, `Greek Music
Refuge` on WBCQ R. Angela, nice music with very brief announcements in
between, presumably Zach Liangas giving song titles; S9/+10 and not
too stormnoisy into Maryland SDR; followed by `FTIOM` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Sept 3 at 0707, JBA carrier but stronger than last
night, from R. Kiribati; and again no other 9/kHz carriers detected on
entire MW bandscan. Ron Howard replies:

``Hi Glenn, Radio Kiribati (presumed): For the first time, I checked
846. Thanks for the suggestion! Sept 3, definitely a challenge, but
actually had some audio from time to time (0620-0735 UT). Announcers
and some EZL songs that were rather non-descriptive; 0701-0708,
tentatively the news. The language sounded to me to be Kiribati /
Gilbertese (audio attached [to WOR iog]), but didn't catch a positive
ID. Perhaps someone else can positively confirm the language?
Appreciate any feedback. Ron, California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI. 5995, Sept 3 at 1852 tune-in via Canary Islands SDR, ORTM is
already in English, S8/9+15 and USB tuning helps avoid lower ACI. I
had been listening to Nigeria, q.v. Manuel Méndez, Spain reconfirmed
the weekly English segment last Saturday. W & M alternate; I can
hardly understand her heavy accent, his a bit better. 1854 something
about a traditional medicine app? Ha. Then about deforestation around
Timbuktu. 1901 about an English-learning competition, a brief clip of
someone speaking it better. 1906 end of English, music and not French.
Marred by occasional uteblaaps and running water. WRTH shows English
at 1855-1910, but obviously variable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 3 at 0658, VON not checked direct
until now when it is absent; might have been on earlier.

7255 minus 67 Hz = 7254.933, Sept 3 at 1802, S8/9+10 into Canary SDR
with news in English. Continuous annoying squeal diminished but not
eliminated in AM Narrow mode. Also lite 7255 CCI from algo. 1810 ID
and Africa news. My burrito with sour cream & chips with plenty salsa
lunch intervenes. 1844 still going, 1851 Africa sport segment as I
remember it`s time for the only English from 5995 Mali, q.v. Back here
at 1907, as expected VON is almost totally buried by China in Turkish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. APRS tropo map shows Enid on the western edge of lite
enhancement, moreso across Arkansas, Sept 3 at 1520 UT, so I tune the
STB between channels 6 and 36 encountering BAD signals on open
channels: 10, 12, 20, 31, 36; and two decoding:

RF 21, virtual 40-1, KHBS-DT Fort Smith AR, which is really in OK, as
detailed in my last log June 12, q.v.

RF 28, virtual 44-1, only ID as ION, really KTPX Okmulgee - Tulsa mkt

Also finally a BAD on RF 17 in absence of local translator, probably
KTEN Ada, on anything but channel 10; should be recalled: KSEVENTEEN?
All soon fade down and out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2154 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday September 3 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130 minus 25.5 Hz
= 5129.9745, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR with some storm crashes.

Also confirmed Sat Sept 3 at 1600 & 1930 on WRN North America webcast.
Don`t you believe at 1930 Sat on 15770 as still shown on WRMI skedgrid
but canceled months ago; tho I wish it were.

Also confirmed Sat Sept 3 from 1935 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentville MO,
VG steady S9+15/16 into nearby Warrenton MO KiwiSDR. Vern edits out my
opening alfabet to minimise the music, and must interrupt every

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sept 2 at 1456-1555, NO signal from
LRA36 into Argentine SDR: checking this Friday in case a makeup for
Wednesday failure. Next chance: Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CONGO [and non]. 6115, Sept 2 at 1828, Canary SDR gets no signal
from R. Congo; might not get it well anyway at this early hour, but
Bruce Churchill was hearing it from 1819 to 1827.5* via Adelaide SA
SDR so I just missed it! Other reports have come in that this is a new
50 kW Chinese transmitter tnx to aid from PRChina. For the first time
this date, Manuel Méndez, Spain was also hearing it in morning, 0550
till eclipsed at 0600 by France DRM - which is supposedly in a limited
test period. MM also thinx it`s too weak for full power 50 kW. So I
have not heard it at all yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Sept 2 at 2153, yay! No horrible signal at all
from R. Cairo, English into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** IRELAND. 8957 USB, Sept 2 at 0621, VOLMET by YL in English, JBA and
I can never copy any location or ID, but thought I heard ``Bahamas``
mentioned more than once: probably not. Seems live and current with
times given as 0620zulu. Not in order, but includes visibility in km;
ceiling in feet?; temp and dewpoint in Celsius; altimeter e.g. 1015;
winds in knots and degrees, still past 0647. EiBi shows this is
Shannon, 24h (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255-, Sept 2 at 0615, NO signal from VON
direct. Sept 2 at 1655 & 1727, NO signal from VON into Canary SDR, not
even a signature off-frequency carrier detected, just storm crashes
from central Morocco to northern Algeria. Further chex: no VON at
1828, 1841; 1858, S9+20/30 from CRI Turkish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORFOLK ISLAND. ``Hi Nick, Well, September is here so it`s time to
enquire how your plans are going to resume SW broadcasting? Hope
things are going well for you otherwise. Now that Norfolk has achieved
SWBC Radio Country status, I am sure there will be a lot of interest
in what`s next. 73, Glenn`` (to Nick Hacko, NSW, Sept 1)

``Hi Glenn, I am back to Norfolk on 18th. I am still looking for a 1
KW AM transmitter with no luck whatsoever. Had some preliminary
exchange with a firm in Slovenia, they are out of components. The
other manufacturer who advertises 1KW TX admitted they actually never
made one. Also my power bill on Norfolk is $ 1200 per quarter about 4
times more than on Australian mainland. Design for QSL cards has been
sent to printer in Ukraine --- God knows when they will be printed and
shipped. Bottom line: frustrating, but I'll be back on air - hopefully
one day soon. 73 Nick Hacko, VK2DX``

Radio DX, 5045, tested from Norfolk Island with World of Radio
participation until April 28; Nick said he hoped to resume in
September. Not to be confused with the Queensland station continuing
on 5045 (Glenn Hauser, as on WORLD OF RADIO 2154)

** OKLAHOMA. OETA has been screwing up this month, concerning what`s
on OETA-2, the `World` channel. On Sept 1 at 16 UT, something else
replaced Amanpour tho still on sked, and 17 show was wrong too. I
contacted via webform, and receptionist Kristi Wren assured me that
Amanpour would still be at 11 am for weeks/months to come; and it was
back the next day -- including first topic, what the ChiCom are doing
to the Uyghurs. In case you think I shouldn`t denounce:

``REPORT: In China, Possible Crimes Against Humanity Reported by U.N.
China may have committed crimes against humanity in Xinjiang,
according to a long-awaited report from the United Nations. China’s
vast western region of Xinjiang is home to a number of predominantly
Muslim ethnic groups, with the Uyghurs the largest population among
them. The report condemns what journalists and human rights
organizations have reported for years: the arbitrary, discriminatory
and violent detention of a people Beijing sees as a threat. While
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi claims Xinjiang is a “shining
example” of human rights progress, the United Nations says the
“serious human rights violations” there cannot be denied. Beijing has
denounced the report with the claim it is based on disinformation.
Correspondent Anna Coren reports.``

Audiovideo may be restricted to subscribers, but full transcript, page

Then Sept 2 at 2100 UT, 13-2 started playing BBC news instead of
scheduled DW, fixed it about a minute later. At 2130, 13-2 started
playing PBS Kidvid same as on 13-1, fixed that to BBC about a minute
later. Maybe they have a new inexperienced crew/person if such
switching be axually handled manually (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Sept 2 at 2200, token English from REE, VG into
UTwente; after news, concluding with horrible COVID figures, 2207.5
Amy Egan feature about two pandas gift/loan from China to Madrid zoo,
which then gave birth Sept 4, 1982. Panda mom will attend to only one
cub if she have two. Humans tried to raise the extra but it died. And
stories of further generations. Since then China has stopped lending
pandas. Amy`s narration in English is *followed* by what was just said
in Spanish interviews, not a bad idea for touching up one`s Spanish.
Spiced with nice Chinese music, and 2218 a panda song in Spanish. 2220
another song about China, in English.

Helena Rigobert (sp?) is the new third person in the English sexion
that Justin Coe credits at 2225 before playing ``Ain`t Misbehavin```
to fill out to 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 2 at 2201, NO signal from VOT English into
UTwente, leaving us no choice but SPAIN. Just the JBA Chinese at + 3
Hz, same at 2230 and 2250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. (7730), circa 0500 on WRMI, UR1 relay of `Ukraine:
Security Issue` as copied later:

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_31_08_22.mp3
For Aug 31, Day 189, including: Pres. Z stresses threat of nuclear
disaster does not diminish. Entire zone around Zap. station must be
demilitarized. Must be completely under control of U state. No info on
when IAEA will be able to enter due to R shelling. Occupiers allow
only one day for visit. Kharkiv shelling is more frequent, of hi-rise
buildings, kindergartens; more than 1000 civilians killed in region,
including 50 children. R forced to retreat in south, bridges
destroyed. S300 anti-aircraft missile systems destroyed, were used to
attack Mykolaiv. Donetsk evacuation continues. No electricity, gas,
water, shortage of medicine. Evac convoys fired upon. People hid under
cars. R exhausted recruiting in some areas. Lost almost 48
kilosoldiers in first semiyear.

For Sept 1 = Day 190:

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_01_09_22.mp3
including: R violated agreements re IAEA visits to NPP; refused
special passes, shelled the trip. Civilian struxures destroyed. R also
targets Zap. NPP, it had to be turned off. Damaged supply lines.
Demanded R withdraw and turn it into DMZ. (Zap. NPP story occupies
entire first half of this edition). U confidently advancing on
southern front, destroying military depots and command posts of
invaders. R trying to use stolen barges, human shields. Kharkiv
continues to be shelled. Using old weapons, not accurate scattering,
hitting civilians, S-300 missiles, old Soviet models. Sept 1 beginning
of new school year in U. Some students will never see schools, only
virtual. R damaged more than 2400 educational institutions, destroyed
270 more. Only 3 teachers for 7 first grades in some places. Parental
rights denied. Kids sent to Russian schools (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565 CW, Sept 2 at 1448, K6FRC ID over and over, JBA vs
stronger CODAR, the HIFER beacon I last logged June 27, q.v. for
details. I bandscan past here every morning, so it`s been more than a
bimonth. Claiming only 1.8 milliwatts, a significant catch whenever,
if true. And never audible at any other daypart; is it not 24/7?? And
neither all the others HIFERs listed 13550-13570 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2154 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBCs, UT Friday September 2 at 0130 on WRMIs, 5850 VG direct; 7730
S9+10/15 into Maryland SDR. This time some percussion intruded between
ID and start of WOR; and my last few words closing overcome by BBB
butting in as usual.

Also confirmed UT Friday September 2 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9+10
into Maryland SDR despite far offbeam if still aiming SW from FL.

Also confirmed Friday September 2 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S9/S5 deep
fades and undermodulated but no jamming.

Also confirmed Friday September 2 from 1815.2, S7/S8 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 kHz but never on 207 or 918 kHz any more
tho I pointed out old 918 had less QRM. Now the CCI in German from
Romania`s 15 kW minority service is almost equal to us and sometimes
overtakes, but my Amerenglish speech is sharper and more readable, at
least to me. This time usually conflicts with my call to lunch, so not
paying close attention nor tuning around.

// 7290 IRRS via BULGARIA presumably came on about *1800.8, but not
separately checked until 1828 on the Canary SDR which I already have
running to chase NIGERIA and CONGO: now it`s S6/S8 with storm crashes.
At 1833 I try UTwente closer to its target, S8/9+5; and also JBA on
14580 = 2 x 7290, but not at Canary. Plays to completion at 1844.

Pre-and post monitoring: 1323 tuned in at 1756 during music; 1800 IRRS
SW s/on and FSN as usual then music fill, 1813 German CCI overrides;
1815 IRRS SW ID and into WOR. 1844 on 7290 ID and music, 1848 old PSA
about driving accidents, don`t speed! 1849 opening `Country Jamboree`
but immediately into sub?title, `Country Style USA`, by transcription
from the US Army, DJ Hawkshaw Hawkins, I had never heard of but a
character to look up on Wikipedia: died in plane not auto crash in
1963*; 1855 US Army recruiting promo promising all kinds of benefits
except KIA. *1857 heavy ACI splash from S9+15/20, 7295, CRI English
has just come on, and IRRS cuts off within seconds, as if coördinated
but its usual time regardless of programming in progress. Back to
1323: milicountry music continues a bit; before 1900, IRRS ID mixed
with few seconds of tone from Romania before it turns off. Leaving
1323 relative clear for us an hour too late.

WOR 2154 also confirmed Friday September 2 at 2057 the 2030 on IRRS SW
via AM Italia, 1323, S9+20/25 into Vinci SDR which is getting it as
well or better than nearer Noale which has timed out. 2059 bit of
music, IRRS ID and Feature Story News, not closing down yet, but quite
a fade-down at 2103. Only lite CCI from algo now, but storm crashes:
little lightnings along Italy`s northern border; bigger storms in
eastern France and off south coast in Mediterranean. Next:

** U S A. 9330v, Sept 2 at 1446, WBCQ/WLCR absent again: getting to be
habitual; not even trying for 24h? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8960 AM, Sept 2 at 0630, next to 8957 IRELAND, mixture of
two talk signals, goes away if below Preamp 2 on R75, so probably
receiver overload. Local talker KGWA 960 involved? but no strong SW
signals to be expected on 8000 or 9920. 8960 does happen to be even
7th harmonic of 1280, 8th of 1120, 14th of 640, 16th of 560 --- ahá,
8960 minus 1390 KCRC = 7570 WRMI TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, Sept 2 at 0650, soft music at only S3/S5, must be KVOH
nominally until 0600*, not unusual staying a bit later, but not this
late. Earlier blasts in but now struggling against falling MUF. EiBi
says irregularly as late as -0800. Only other 9975 is KTWR but not
until much later, 1200-1230 via Tajikistan, 1300-1400 really Guam
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. RF 31, 26, 21, 10, Sept 2 at 1504 UT, BAD DTV signals on
these `open` channels, correlating with Wichita market, as tropo maps
also show enhancement thataway. Also RF 15 OKC has become BAD no doubt
due to DX QRM. As always, my rooftop antenna remains fixed toward
OKC.

While researching this I also look for what DX I might get since
Enid`s only `local` TV station, K17JN-D of 3ABN, remains kaput, I hope
forever, but since it vanished, no DX logged on 17. KS and OK FCC
possibilities: KLBY Colby KS 400 kW; KAAS Salina KS 65 kW/CP 150; KTEN
Ada OK 1000 kW; and 4 scattered OK LP or translators. KTEN had been
seen several times when it was on 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 11835, Sept 2 at 0651, RV X 3 still missing (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
