** KIRITIMATI [non]. 846 kHz, re my not hearing carrier from R.
Kiribati direct, and no more than an uncertain trace sometimes at Oahu
SDR: ``Glenn - Here at Asilomar State Beach, have also noted no signal
at all recently on 846 kHz. Conditions have been fairly good, as on
Oct 22 (Sunday), actually had some rare audio on 1017 kHz, perhaps
from Tonga, at 0701 UT, with religious singing; normally I only hear
with a carrier. Ron (California)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic just-barely-audible MW carrier search,
October 24 at 0330-0335 on the E/W loop: 576, 612, 621, 639, 774-2,

Notably missing: 711 from WESTERN SAHARA occupied by Morocco.
Correlating with this posted at 0711 UT Oct 24:

``[bdxc-news] 711 kHz Morocco --- 711 kHz SNRT Laayoune Morocco has
been putting a good signal into Playa Blanca Lanzarote but with very
poor modulation. It normally makes it very difficult for me to receive
WOR New York 710 kHz. This morning 711 kHz noted off, maybe for
maintenance and excellent reception of WOR from 06.30 as I type at
07.10 just starting to fade but still audible. 73 John Hoad, Elad

UNIDENTIFIED. [WOR] ``7830 oddity -- Check 7830 and what do you make
of those musical? tonebursts echoing? As I have reported before, on
now at 0349 and probably much longer span - Glenn,`` Oct 24 on the WOR
iog; and I recorded a brief sample maybe to include in next WOR. Still
on at 0658 check. Replies:

``Re: [WOR] 7830 oddity --- I think it is 7828 USB, the audio is
properly centered then. There are odd short breaks in the strange echo
but seemingly random. Quite strong here, maybe a KIWI TDOA will shed
some info. MARS stations just came on 7831 USB at 0400 UT. Don Moman,
AB, VE6JY``

``Don, did a single quick TDoA at 0509 and I get western Alabama:
32.90, -87.90. Your Kiwis were all occupied, and the Prince George one
is always busy. 73, Walt Salmaniw, BC``

``I checked at 10 UTC (10/24), and found it was much stronger and
steadier here on 5714 kHz than 6830 kHz and 7830 kHz, so a location
fairly close in to North Carolina such as Alabama at around 500 miles
or so would makes sense since the skip distance on those upper
frequencies can get quite long in the fall heading towards winter.
However, I checked back 19 minutes later at 1030 UTC and it was much
stronger on 7830 kHz than before and stronger than it was earlier on
5714 kHz, so I'm not sure. The transmission source may be varying
power levels and antenna target locations. I was no longer hearing it
on 5714 kHz and 6830 kHz at 1030 UTC so I couldn't compare against
those frequencies at that time. It was still on 7830 kHz and and not
audible here on 6830 kHz and 5714 kHz at 1108 UTC.

Maybe it's WN2XKQ -

Note: I, gh, have not heard nor tried to hear this on any of the other
frequencies mentioned than 7830/7828. Earlier discussion from Oct *20*
on the WOR iog:

``I heard something similar around 7830 kHz at 0517 UTC. It stopped at
0534 UTC. Very strong signal here in southern Ontario. I did a quick
check of online SDRs and it was audible at a good level right from the
west coast to the east coast. I got the impression it sounded like a
very distorted radiofax signal with a lot of echo. John VE3CXB
Hudak``

``It is on 6830 KHz again today (10/20). I first checked for it around
0250 UTC and found it on 6830 KHz with an S9+10 signal, then it
stopped at 0301 UTC, but started again at 0304 UTC. I checked 7830 KHz
at 0335 UTC and 5714 at 0337 UTC and did find it there too. It isn't
on 6945 KHz unlike on 10/18 when it was. It is still on as of 0415 UTC
today. Maybe it's WM2XZV or another HF trader with a new modulation
scheme. Doug White KA5ETS, Carrboro, NC`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Issoudun. Should resume bilingual weather and ranking info by Sat Oct
28 for the second stage of La Boulangère sailboat race; yet website

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 23 at 0446, still trying to get R.
Kiribati via Oahu SDR: nothing visible on waterfall, but SynchAM tries
to lock onto signal plus/minus ~2 Hz. 24h earlier this was displaying
a line at 846 but appeared to be boundary of something rather than a
genuine signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday October 23 at 2200, token English from SNR
starts by giving B23 schedule in generalities of mostly Spanish,
including 9690, which no doubt will include at 2300 instead, English
to us, Amy and also the voice of Justin Coe which has not been heard
otherwise for several weeks; VG S9+15/20 direct. After news, 2210
feature is interview with a director of `Ñ`, the notable 15th

sometimes staying past 2200 unmoved. UTwente sporadically lox onto an
inaudible at 9875.003, else? Something`s always erroneous at Emirler.

From B23, Oct 29, new sked will be 2300 on 5960; so if that be

dozers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

strong signal, readable OK tuned to 28299-USB, but on 28300 itself is
a Brazuguese phone on USB; not respecting the ``beacon band``, which I
suppose has no official/legal status (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Here are a few logs the Americas as far as I remember after a sudden Word crash.I passed to these SDRs later to refresh my info.
posted in https://zliangaslogs.wordpress.com/2023/10/23/sunday-20-10-logs-ksdr/
A travel for our older transmission slot: R Trump was heard via Mountaintop kSDR on 0815 with -90dbm and 20minutes later via the Boca Raton with better S/N ratio at same signal level .There as a random time ID as R Trump (around 0820? )

Via same kSDr 4940 the unknown pirate relaying religious programs with goodsignal

6180 with R N Amazonia with `sombrero' songs with -60dbm signal. There was anID , 1055 with someone signing and playing guitar an inspirational songwith  spituall talks  in between and then singing the `Brazuguese'version of happy birthday for a Maria. Reception via Bernando de Campo kSDR(will noted as BDC below ) Off 1213

R Sarturno on 0826 with various well known songs of 80s including Brother Luie, ID every two songs. Here is recording with the ID at the end .Next tune in1058 with `take my breath away'. Still on 1213 24H? via BDC
https://app.box.com/s/sdwndzweps06thkudqugtvht7992sey0

Also R Inconfidencia on 6010 with -70dbm via BDC with songs and ID

WMR on 6160 on 1105 with talks and old rock songs via Twente -63dbm Good audiobut strong QSB

Europa24 (per eibi) or radio24 (as IDed) on 6150 with old French song 1115 thenwell-known songs from the past Prop seem also not so good due to high fades.Signal -70 dbm with 30db range.
The range is only 20db  onhttp://fsdr.duckdns.org/ with mean on -90dbm fades and increasing to 25 on1151z

11665 Wai FM Iban with song Perjalanan 2 on 1244 and talks by OM. The signal inBangkok is less than 20 db higher than the noise. Good as always in PHL at -60and tested it with live stream from RTM. RTM has two different streams two copystreams for Iban and a second in Bidayuh

** CUBA. 13650, Oct 22 at 0022, S8/S9 open carrier direct, in fact the
SSOB; must be the ``Portuguese`` music-only CRI relay, not turned off
by 0000. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Monitoring the Saturday-evening surfeit on the
pirate-band, UT Sunday October 22: 6965-USB, Oct 22 at 0023, music at
S9+25, just in time for an ID, ``Wolverine Radio``. At 0101, SSTV
beepery. 0109 next check, it`s off. Many more reports here, including
``stained glass`` SSTV image; was jammed near the end:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,119777.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA [non]. 6934.9 AM, Oct 22 at 0024, JBA carrier, maybe
trace of music, S7 = noise level. unID pirate. These conclude it`s
AD149 from ARGENTINA:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,119773.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6870 USB, Oct 22 at 0026, distorted music at S9+10;
0027 YL ID, ``You are listening to Radio 48 via ---?``. 0032 another
ID, I think ending with ``via Mix Radio International``. Many reports
here as Radio 48 only:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,119780.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Oct 22 at 0102, weak talk I first think
would be local KCRC Enid on 5 x 1390 as sometimes audible, but USB
talkover ``shut the -uc- up`` and some tones not SSTV. The victim is
also USB only and not // 1390 stupid sportstalk. It`s a political
speech with applause. At 0111, music. unID pirates, apparently same as
these, misdated Oct 21 instead of 22 amid others of 22.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA [non]. 6935.0 AM, Oct 22 at 0107, music at S6/S7; so
not same as earlier on 6934.9. Yet HFU treats it as the same leading
to AD149 ARGENTINA:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,119773.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, Oct 22 at 0108, music at S7, unID pirate,
no matches for this one at HF Underground (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2213 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday October 22 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 into Maryland SDR, with
considerable Cuban noise jamming but totally readable if you put up
with it. Hardly audible at remotes in S America where this is aimed.
You`ll understand why I`m hostile to Cuba?

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 22 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+15 into
nearby SDR, already at 0300, about 20 minutes into so started way
early circa 0240, the nominal 0315v, so would have been finished by
0310; Vern has to insert his own ID every dekaminute, often
interrupting a word or thought of mine. He also has to cut my opening
billboard to minimize the amount of music relayed; but is it OK if
there be music on a clip? I don`t let that influence what I may
insert.

Also confirmed Sunday October 22 circa 1042 UT the 1030 on WRMI 9955,
good signal direct during 1-minute sample recorded while I slept.
