Hauser
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Aug 24 at 1450-1550, NO signal this
Wednesday from LRA36 into Buenos Aires SDR. So maybe will again try to
make-good with an emission on Friday circa 1500 or 1800 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11710-11725 approx., peaking circa 11719, August 24 at
0125, S9 FMish extremely distorted spurblob, modulation peaks matching
11780 RNA which is S9+20/30; and matched by more of same on the plus
side, approx. 11830-11850, peak about 11842 vs Cuban spurcarrier on
11840 out of 11850, q.v. At 0132 I put R75 in FM mode, and find tuned
to 11842, the Portuguese talk is almost recognizable rather than
nothing but hash in AM mode; but do not find the same on the minus
side circa 11719.

Similar FMish hash is wideband in the 11.9-12.1 MHz range, but have
also heard it when 11780 is off or weak, so evidently something local,
like emanations out of a nearby FM receiver, which would be more
expectable circa typical 10.7 MHz IFs. I have not been able to match
that diffuse source to any local station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, Aug 24 at 0128, RHC is S9+10/20 but JB modulated in
presumed Spanish, also with JBA parasitic carrier on 11840 vs RNA
Brasil, q.v., spurblob. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.994+, Aug 24 at 2200, nothing but whine on big carrier
in English from R. Cairo, into Maryland; and at 2203, S9+35/40 when
measured by UTwente. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 17850.2, Aug 24 at 1747, RFI in French but with terrible
loud chirping as if QRM, but seems to be out of Issoudun itself; does
not interrupt but overlays weaker program modulation. One might also
suspect Noblejas 17855 doing this but it`s not on yet; by 1758 when
REE is on, its IS makes big clangs against 17850. The 17850 signal is
off for a minute at 1759*-*1800, when a beam change from 165 to 160
degrees is scheduled, why? Another 5 degrees less to 155 at 1859-1900
is scheduled, why? and also an antenna change from a 217 to a 207 for
the third hour until 2000. It`s the same before and after 1800,
chirping vs program mod. This could be mistaken for jamming.

Above: direct. At 1847 I check Maryland SDR: still getting chirping
centered about 17850.2, very much below the 17855 splash. Originally
the rate was roughly 4 chirps per second, now down to 2, but slightly
irregular. Goes off at 1859* as expected; *1900 resumes just as
before.

Hey! Is NO ONE paying attention to their own broadcasts at ISS, TDF,
RFI, or MBR? Must have been thus three hours straight, and quite
possibly other times/frequencies from same defective transmitter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 17720, Aug 24 at 1750, Horn-of-Africa music, S2/S4, off by
1800 check. EiBi shows AWR in OO = Oromo? to EAf via D-nauen site from
1730; also 1630-1700 Amharic same. NB: at other dayparts AWR on 17720
via Guam, Madagascar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 11880, Aug 24 at 0129 bit of classical music,
0130 ID in AmerEnglish as ``KBS World Radio`` and back into Spanish
hour as relayed from VOA Grimesland NC. VG signal here despite aimed
south, 176 degrees with 250 kW. Would that we could hear KBSWR as well
in English, which they refuse to relay from NC, and insist on trying
direct at 13-14 on 15575 which does not propagate most of the year
over mostly night path, but the antenna cannot run on a lower band
such as 9 MHz. HFCC shows more English at 02-03 & 03-04 on 9580 at 81
degrees, not for S America but only CIRAF 45 = Japan next door. Anyhow
9580 is blocked by Cuba relay of CRI. I could understand the Spanish
service and it might well be worthwhile, but I refuse to do so while
KBSWR won`t serve US in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Aug 24 at 0610 check, VON is on (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 24 at 2200, token English from REE, VG here
as well as 15520 and 11940 into Maryland SDR. No competition from
Turkey or Egypt in English, both failures. After the news, 2205 report
from correspondent in Beirut about resurgence in tourism to Lebanon
(beware of explosions!). 2210, Justin Coe recalls that he used to do a
segment translating columnists from major Spanish newspapers, long
before podcasts and not preserved; he stopped 10 or 15 years ago
because of permission issues. Would like to resume it, having run
across a recent column as he was about to recycle El País, by Leila
Guerrerio(sp?) about móbiles = cell phones. Still no permission and
has not been able to reach her, so just talks about it. 2219 Amy Egan
about a jazz pianist whose name I don`t catch (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830+, Aug 24 at 2200, NO signal from VOT English into
UTwente, but a weak synch loch onto +.003+, no doubt China. So I can
listen to simulSpain, q.v., without regrets. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler. But by recheck at 2230 after REE, VOT is
belatedly on with `Wednesday Commentary` - or is it `Weekly`, S9+45/50
into UTwente at +.002+.

IS after 2255 starts interspersing German IDs, except they are no
longer allowed to say ``Die Stimme der Türkei --- rather ``Hier ist
die Stimme Türkiye`` -- no ``der``, so preposition included? 2300
timesignal and keeps going in extraneous German, very brief sign-on
without all the satellite parameters, news starting with Jerusalem,
2315 music break, 2320 a talk feature, as the sleepyrators snooze on
past 2323; skidoo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2152 monitoring: ``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, 7780 kHz, not beaming towards Alberta, monitoring and
confirming the latest for #2152, 9955 kHz, listen creek fm/stream
internet. 40 years of shortwave listening since 1982, Aug 19, 20. 60th
Anniversary time at CIDX gathering in Sherwood Park, Sep 16-18, 2022.
WRMI:

Confirmed Tuesday August 23 at 2230 on WRMI 9955, S9/+5 into Maryland
KiwiSDR, above lite pulse jamming from Cuba, increasing by 2300
against R. Libertad.

Also confirmed Tuesday August 23 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S7/S9 direct vs
storm noise level.

Also confirmed Wednesday August 24 at 2122, JBA direct on WBCQ 7489.9,
but much better via Maryland SDR at 2128 during Vanuatu clip at -72 Hz
= 7489.928. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Aug 24 at 1803, NO signal from WBCQ/WLCR; what`s the
matter now? PA neighbors 9275 and 9265 are audible. By 2053 it`s on at
S9+10 about 9330.15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 920, Aug 24 at 0301 UT, ID for Family Radio, KYFR,
Shenandoah-Omaha, hymns. Was not aware they shoot for Omaha but indeed
major lobe goes that way from site barely on the IA side of the MO
frontier, S of S`doah. Radio-locator fringe contour even reaches
Wichita and Yankton. But address from FCC, possibly outdated, is in
Sacramento CA. Maybe that is still the FM station being uplinked on
their satellited network, but NRC AM Log shows address is for FR HQ,
Franklin TN, now a hotbed of gospel-huxterism, Oakland and Okeechobee
long gone. Main QRM is CBS Sports Radio, no doubt KARN Little
Rock, as its only other 920 is El Paso.

The real reason I`m tuning 920 is to not hear KLMR, Lamar CO, which
the latest NRC DX News of Aug 30, published Aug 22, says is among the
stations notifying FCC they are off the air:
``920 KLMR CO Lamar Silent July 23, severe water damage from storm``

Indeed I do not hear it now tho easy in the past as our closest CO in
the SE corner, 418 km = 260 miles city-to-city. Better on 5 kW day
power non-D around SR/SS, while 500 W night aimed SE, not so much ESE
thisaway with a notch almost due east. SR/SS August UT: 1200/0145;
September: 1230/0100.

I then check the website https://www.klmrradio.com/

Nothing on homepage nor disgraced FB about KLMR being off the air!
Including around July 23 tho plenty of weather warnings. Still as of
Aug 23, FB posts dated Aug 21. But listen live link does not connect.
https://player.cloudradionetwork.com/klmram
25/7 also have/had a separately programmed -FM; what about it?

920, another check at midday Aug 24, 1806 UT: JBA carrier detected in
hi line noise level: KYFR, or KLMR?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Aug 24 at 0610 check, no signal from R. Vanuatu on
3 x 3945, presumed still off SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2327 UT August 24

** ALGERIA. 17600, Aug 23 at 1909, JBA signal, presumably new activity
from here; nothing much else on band except France 17850 and Spain
17855. Also checked 21450, nothing heard from another RTA as reported
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Aug 23 at 1910, no signal from RHC, first English hour
missing, sometimes alternate 15370 neither. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Aug 22 at 2200, R. Cairo, no English signal into
UTwente, just rapid clicking noises.

9439.995, Aug 23 at 2126, it`s on at S9+35, but extremely suptorted,
useless. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** FRANCE. 17850, Aug 23 at 1908, French from RFI to CAf, much weaker
than overshadowing 17855 Spain direct to NAm. Such geo/frequencial
adjacency is surely inadvisable and unnecessary; RFI sked 17-20 per
EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Aug 23 at 1527, presumed Dhivehi and some
music, 1529 s/off in English, did he say KVOM Maldives? As in Voice of
Martyrs Korea, and off 1530* in time for Vatican opening Arabic;
listening via Iceland SDR where it`s poor, and India much better.
Noting frequency offsets but uncertain whether SDRs be correctly
calibrated: I think not. As to secret site for VOMK, Aoki shows
Tashkent, Uzbekistan, but from unusually good reception here, and not
being significantly off-frequency, I doubt that. While Wolfgang
Bueschel is convinced it`s Pao Chung, Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 7255 LSB, Aug 23 at 0558, American ham QSO
boldly in progress, complaining about taxes in Alabama, no VON yet,
but 7254.94 cuts on late at *0601 becoming the S9+10/20 BFO, pitching
the hams only slightly offtune; they keep going, as VON Hausa is
undermodulated. Recheck at 0634, all gone already (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Aug 23 at 1902 UT, PN, 25 watt ND beacon at
PoNca City, is off. When on it has the bestsig of all, day and night
by groundwave, about 79 km = 49 statute miles, city to city. I expect
it to be back, eventually (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Aug 22 at 2150, the REE frequency for N America is
back on, having been absent since at least Aug 17, S9+5/25 direct and
the OSOB, so far in Spanish; but also for Monday 2200 English when
checked via UTwente SDR: 17855 not so good; 15520 very poor; 11940
with good modulation restored; 11670 or rather 11669.992+, with echo,
long-path? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.001+, Aug 22 at 2202, VOT English is VG S9+40/50 into
UTwente but somewhat undermodulated; also caught until 2256* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE. (7730), `Ukraine: Security Issue` for Aug 22 = day 180:
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_22_08_22.mp3
including: missile fired from Black Sea region: Over past day, Russia
lost 7 tanx, helicopter, 4 air defense systems. 9 Russian drones
destroyed. Prepared for 24 August, be especially vigilant for
Independence Day. Mariupol show-trials of POWs, absolutely disgusting.
U shall not tolerate mistreatment of heroes. Metal cages assembled in
theater. World vs Russia case of genocide at UN International Court of
Justice. R accuses U of genocide, justifying aggression. Forbes
Ukraine magazine lists 30 under 30 outstanding people. 20,000 Starlink
terminals received from Musk company for internet access (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28289.3 kHz CW, Aug 23 at 1903, AL AL DE WJ5O/B, beacon at
Troy AL is the OSOB, sporadic E barely accomplishing this much, from
the proprietor of the 10m list of hundreds of others, 99.99? % never
heard. I thought this was on the + side of 28290 but did not try to
measure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2151 monitoring: ``From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening

WORLD OF RADIO 2152 monitoring:: confirmed UT Tuesday August 23 at
0030 on WRMI 9395, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR; after a few extraneous
words intruding between WRMI ID and WOR. Next:

2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba]

** U S A. 15670-15675-15680, Aug 23 at 1453, WINB DRM on new hybrid
frequency, before resuming 15745-15750-15755 at 1500. Only poor signal
direct. After 1500 I try to monitor it via SDRs in PEI, Maine, and
Iceland but keep getting error messages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Aug 23 before 0559, no signal detectable from R.
Vanuatu; while VON not yet up on 7255, but splash from 7265 French.
11835, no signal at 0635. So remains AWOL. However, Harold Sellers, BC
reported it on 11835, Aug 22 beginning to fade in at 0804 (Glenn

Hauser
** EGYPT. 9440, Aug 21 at 2220, nothing but weak whine audible direct
from R. Cairo; much stronger JBM carrier on 9900, i.e. the English and
S. American services, respectively. Something`s always egregious in
Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. 18155 USB, Aug 21 at 2208, IK4GRO calling CQ/DX 17, JBA
several times without reply; and not much else on band. QRZ.com:

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Aug 22 at 1527, V of Martyrs Korea, secret
site is S3/S7, YL in non-English presumed really Dhivehi; chopped off
after 1529 just in time for OM S/off in English and 1530*. If Vatican
still follow, inaudible here in degraded conditions (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9+, Aug 22 at 0555 first check, no signal yet from
VON, but by 0603 Hausa is underway, S9+20/30 with sufficient
modulation. Wolfgang Bueschel says it did come on at 0558 with IS, I
missed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6926 USB, Aug 22 at 0122, undermod pirate with song,
S5/S8 vs HSNL, long pause past 0124, off? Meanwhile, switching back
and forth to 6920 station, so bound to miss something. 0155 on with
``Shut the #uck up`` song. Mostly unID, but one report as ID: ``WWWW
The Drunk Fox?``
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,100959.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6920 AM, Aug 22 at 0124, rock music, S9/+20 much
stronger than 6926 USB simulstation. Switching back and forth to that,
so bound to miss something. 0126, 6920 off. 0129 some spoken comments
with music, maybe DJ, not IDs; until: 0136 YL bot voice seems to be
reading a current HFU reception report to Clever Name Radio,
mentioning 6917, 6920. Apparently this be CNR per many reports:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,100958.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 5950, UT Mon Aug 22 at 0200, `Encore` classical
music via WRMI: same episode as 25 hours earlier on 5850 & 7730. Now
it`s clear that this is the correct Aug 20 episode; the mistake was
the playlist header as Aug 6 instead of 20, now fixed.

Meanwhile, WBCQ R. Angela, Concert Hall has started part II of
`Parsifal` on 5129.975, S8/9+5 into Maryland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Aug 21 at 2218, no signal direct from VOT, just RTTY.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. Another time typo at the end of this item, wrote 2355
instead of 2255, fixed below. While it`s ultimately my fault, there
would be less chance of this if there were not twice-annual one-hour
real time shifts due to stupid DST, down with!

9830.018, Aug 19, at 2201, VOT English is on today, S9+45/50 into
UTwente but with squeal! I am not going to put up with that. Autonotch
does not work on it, and removed only by narrowing bandwidth too far,
below 2.37 kHz. It`s equally bad on LSB and USB so part of the DSB
modulation. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Off by 2255 so no
extra German and Portuguese tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, Aug 21 at 0503, UR1 via WRMI, reconfirmed in
English for `Ukraine: Security Issue`. Since there is always something
else I want to hear/see at local midnight, I`m finding it more
convenient to catch up later ondemand, and slowing possiblized.

For August 20, day 178 of Comrade Vlady`s war,
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_20_08_22.mp3
including:
Russia has lost almost 45K troops KIA, more than 6000 tanx et al.
Explosions at R bases in occupied Crimea. Bombarding U cities and
villages mostly in the south and east. High probability of strikes
from Belarus`, Caspian and Black Seas. Mariupol a mess. R chooses to
destroy all living beings in U. 25K pills of potassium iodide
delivered to city threatened with nuclear exposure from Zap. plant.

For August 21,
http://ukr.radio/images/ckeditor/files/files/ENG_NEWS_21_08_22.mp3
including: Massive missile strikes on Mykolaiv region. Five missiles
launched at Odesa, hit granary but two shot down. Three ships in Black
Sea armed with cruise missiles, one of them a sub. More local
resistance in Zap. area, 60% controlled by Russia. Lyudmila says all
windows broken, wishes occupiers would all die. Zap. plant may be
disconnected from power grid by Russians (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2152 monitoring: UT Friday August 19 at 0130

Chance Radio; what`s wrong now? Almost as if WLCR fell off the edge of
the flat earth (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15745-15755, Monday August 22 at 1532, hybrid DRM at S8-S9,
from WINB, yet SSOB, stronger than 15770 WRMI and JBA 15825 WWCR.

Benn Kobb of www.experimentalradio.news posted about this to WOR iog
August 21:

``WINB Unknown Signal --- I was interested to hear the reference to
WINB in the latest World of Radio. The mysterious data emissions of
WINB were the subject of considerable discussion at this year's NASB
conference here in Washington.

I don't know if anyone has publicly disclosed the content of this
nonbroadcast data. But the apparent connection between WINB and
Parable Broadcasting is notable. Parable is one of the companies
waiting for an FCC construction permit to build an International
Broadcast station.

The principals of Parable hold executive positions at Ursa Navigation
Inc. (UrsaNav), a LORAN company in Massachusetts; and at Tagence, an
IT firm in Virginia. While its shortwave station will be in Illinois,
Parable is based in Virginia. UrsaNav was the co-applicant with
Parable for a local permit to build a purported international
"Christian" radio station in Kane County, IL.

UrsaNav is licensed for microwave station WRAL663 at WINB's site in
Red Lion, PA.

Independent consulting engineer Alex Pilosov raised questions about
WINB and Parable in an FCC filing. Excerpts:

"In 2018, WINB applied and received authority to broadcast DRM
content, specifying 10 kHz emission bandwidth and emission code of
10K00G9W (single 10 kHz data channel).

"WINB did not disclose any transmission of private data in its
application for 'DRM datacasting.' In fact, WINB is transmitting
standard DRM signals in the upper 5 kHz portion of its assigned
spectrum, and non-DRM digital data in the lower 5 kHz.

Such transmissions are not permissible per [FCC Rule] §73.758, nor are
they part of the DRM specification. Furthermore, WINB itself confirmed
that the lower 5 kHz is, in fact, 'a data stream.'

"It can be reasonably inferred to be experimentation of shortwave data
transmission engineered by UrsaNav, in order to be used by Parable,"
Pilosov wrote.

None of the UrsaNav/Parable principals have backgrounds in religious
broadcasting - or any broadcasting, as far as I could determine. I
believe Parable has no real evangelistic mission but will function as
a private data link to overseas financial centers.``

The mention of this on WOR was a new multi-frequency schedule for WINB
DRM, via Ivo Ivanov:
