** EGYPT [non]. 9440 nor 9442, Nov 20 at 2120, NO signal from R. Cairo
into UTwente, but heavy splash from nothing closer than 9455 Chinese,
i.e. CNR1 jammer against RFA via Kuwait; never mind WRMI. Something`s
amiss at Abis, egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6958 USB, Nov 20 at 2258, rock music S9+10/20, 2259
into a music loop, IS? vs intermittent line noise peaking S9+20. 2302
adds chirping to the mxmix; 2309 trance? music. Never heard any talk
ID in random chex back and forth with 6954 USB neighbor. Also UnID for
11 other monitors:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,121504.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6954 USB, Nov 20 at 2304, another pirate with music
besides the 6958 unID, slightly weaker; 2306 SSTV beepery; 2311 music,
2316 more SSTV. Never heard any voice ID. Many reports here as Thunder
Chicken Radio, with SSTV images:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,121501.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Nov 20 at 2302, token English from SNR, VG direct,
news mainly about new governments in Spain and Argentina; 2308
interview about new amnesty deal since Catalonia separatists helped
Sánchez (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960.001, Sun Nov 19 at 2346, no signal from VOT into
UTwente, just Chinese. Also Mon Nov 20 at 2308, no signals direct; and
at 2327, nothing into UTwente but Chinese from East Turkistan, std
denunciation. VOT stuck on 9610, the 2130-2230 channel? algo S7 at
9610.001, probably CNR8 from Beijing site. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler twice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2217 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday November 19 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9 into
UTwente SDR across Europe, no QRM. Also at same time on WRN Europe
stream and WRMI webcast only.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 20 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/S7 into
Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday November 20 from slightly ahead of 0400 on

** U S A. 7490.037, Sun Nov 19 at 2346, WBCQ with `Uncle Bill`s
Melting Pot` as on third Sundays, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR. Stronger
signal now but remains offset+plus instead of -minus implying it`s
still the backup transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790, Nov 20 at 1628, NO signal direct from WRMI-7, Radio
Africa Network of PAB for S America supposed to start at 1500; nor at

Logs
** ALASKA. 6075, Nov 19 at 0801, KNLS IS and opening English hour
``from the top of the world to the Indian Ocean``, VG S9/+20; program
previews including nonsensical ``Creation Moment``, and into some pop
music to appear hip. They pretend to be in Alaska, but I think the
programming comes out of Tennessee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6179.95 approx., Nov 19 at 0804, RNA VG S9+25 with music
but considerably off-frequency. EiBi and Aoki both show 0750-0300 but
I think it is anything but continuous with a brief morning broadcast
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIZUELA [and non]. 4940, Nov 19 at 0754, mystery station
alternating YL in English, OM in Spanish, one consecutively
translating the other, probably sermon, S5/S8 direct. Earlier check
circa 0415 found no signal next to 4930 VOA BOTSWANA (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9490+, Nov 19 at 0332, S9/+10 of dead air and a
trace of pulse jamming. Must be the always-off-frequency TDF FRANCE
unit which carries RMI`s Radio República, currently HFCC registered as
01-02 & 02-03 separately but both daily, 150 kW at 285 degrees. In
practice, RR has had a different span on weekends than weekdays. EiBi
now shows 01-02 daily, adding 02-04 on Thu/Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon; and this
is UT Sunday. Aoki shows 01-02 daily, adding 02-03 on days 1267 =
Sun/Mon/Fri/Sat. WRMI skedgrid is still dated B22! --- 01-02 on days
234 = Tue/Wed/Thu, 01-03 on days 5671 = Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon, 03-04 also on
days 5671 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 5800, Nov 19 circa 0415 and still at 0757, jamming
vs nothing as WRMI is not on at these hours, and when it is earlier,
nothing worthy of jamming. Or is there? WRMI-10 5800 atop skedgrid
shows Freedom Synergy Radio at 03-04 on System B -- but NOWHERE to be
found on the program skeds below. IIRC it`s Latin American oriented,
pro-Taiwan and thus anti-Communist, but in English. Nothing about it
now to be found on the Programming page either, altho not all of that
is text-searchable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5910, Nov 19 at 0413, S9+50 of CRI relay but JBM, still
blowing away Alcaraván Radio. Is that the music I can detect? No, it`s
Chinese. The first hour at 03-04 is supposed to be in English, not
Mandarin as I said last time. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 19 at 0415, RHC is S9+20/30 but JBM in presumed
English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. As of Nov 19, WRMI skedgrid shows another WOR
airing, previously dropped and now timeshifted: Thursday 1500 on 9955;
to be confirmed. That would be final SW airing of weekly cycle. Wish
it could be on Friday as first airing.

WORLD OF RADIO 2217 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday November 19 at
0416 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9/+20 direct, about 1 minute into so
started on-time at 0415.

Also confirmed Sunday November 19 at 1130 on WRMI 9955, S9+25 direct.

** U S A. Re: ``Something`s really wrong at WBCQ: UT Nov 18, at 0050
preparing to check `AAAWWW`, 7490.061 is JBA S4/S5 into Maryland
SDR,`` Uncle Bill responds:

``I checked in with the station myself. There has apparently been a
perfect storm of computer issues and ongoing problems with 7490's
usual transmitter (7490 is currently on a lower-powered backup). We
should know soon enough whether the computer issues have been fixed.
The transmitter prognosis is less clear`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Nov 19 at 1534, is WRMI finally going DRM? Not
exactly: DRMish noise sidebands but not as broad as standard DRM and
still an AM carrier in middle. Trying a remote in DRM doesn`t get it.
Same at further random chex, presumably missing any AM announcements,
as this is:

``Shortwave Radiogram, 17-20 November 2023 (program 330): Another
EasyDRF Special ---
The next Shortwave Radiogram will be another EasyDRF special produced
by Daz Man in Australia. EasyDRF is a Windows application program for
sending files over radio using HamDRM format. EasyDRF is somewhat
complex and less tolerant of difficult reception conditions than our
MFSK and other digital modes. But when it works, the results are
dazzling. Our previous EasyDRF special was 11-16 May 2023.

Daz Man’s instructions for the EasyDRF are below. Please take the time
to read them. Note that Daz provides a link to an audio file, so that
you can practice decoding EasyDRF before the actual broadcasts
begin...`` https://swradiogram.net/

FYI: I applaud Kim Elliott`s efforts to promote new modes on SW, but
personally I have more than enough to monitor in AM, SSB, CW or NBFM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12050, Nov 19 at 0410, JBA Spanish; and 15610, JBA carrier:
no doubt WEWN on its expanded usage of `day` frequencies at night,
both now available until 0600, but hardly propagating (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, not a total 9/kHz
bandscan, Nov 19 at 0321: 1107, 1098, 1089, 891, 855, 621 kHz.

Another at 0749: only 855, 774, surely Spain this late (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1440, caradio on an expedition 30km N of Enid, two weak
signals interfading, one religious, the other talk, likely early
skywave from KEXP Metroplex TX, 50 kW day power; and KMAJ Topeka KS,
respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) date and time were missing: 1937
UT Nov 15

UNIDENTIFIED. 9800, Nov 19 at 1537, S7/9+5 of dead air. Probably VOA
via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, Korean scheduled 13-15 & 19-21; surely they
don`t leave it on for the entire 4-hour break (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Saturday Nov 18 at 1834, LRA36 is on,
S7/S9 into Argentine SDR, all talk about Esperanza, Antarctica; still
2030, 2124+. And 2325 still into a different ArgSDR, S6/S7 in music.
2358 still on via the first one as the second one had closed due to
storms. 0012 ID and historical info. 0016 intro a musical segment,
something about 1983 in New York? 0019 finally stops talking and
plays it. Still going at 0059 UT Sunday Nov 19. May also have been on
some weekdays but unsought this week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21640+, Nov 17 at 1535, no signal direct from La Boulangère
MiniTransAt, but the other two 13m ISSouduns are on, 21485 & 21690.
Same Nov 18 at 1532. Is the sailboat race over, or was there something
starting at 1500 before I have been tuning? Check the website:
https://minitransat.fr/

The winner, Federico WAKSMAN from Uruguay, arrived at Guadeloupe
already on 10 November, and the 28th in last place on 17 November;
three more dropped out. So it`s over (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21485, Nov 17 at 1532, after finding no signal on 21640+
for MiniTransAt, this and 21690, the other two ISSouduns scheduled
this hour on 13m can be heard, confirming propagation is OK. But 21485
sounds ``stuttering``, some transmission problem, double feed?
At 1430-1600 it`s R. Tamazuj, targeting Sudan South (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** RUSSIA. Re my 7032 USB report of the Soviet Hymn, David Crawford
replies: ``gh, When I've heard this one on random occasion, it's
always been the Гимн России version by the group Любэ / "Lu-beh":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbJQbiu09z8

Here's another rather notorious song of theirs, "Don't be a Fool,
America!", in which they make it clear that they want Alaska back:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wuq1EE8ymc
I don't find that one as amusing as I used to.``

Of course once you go to YT, a bunch of other versions are suggested.
Most of the NAs get rave reviews as music, even from non-Communists.
Here`s an English version of the Soviet Hymn:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7pbnTI1_LM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.005, Nov 18 at 2326, VOT not off the air in English,
VG S9+25/35 into UTwente ending multi-lingual ID filler reel; atop
CCCCCCI understation; music. 2331, `Gripping Piles`, on the
environmental disaster of wastewater leaking into the sea from Gaza.

** U S A. Something`s really wrong at WBCQ: UT Nov 18, at 0050
preparing to check `AAAWWW`, 7490.061 is JBA S4/S5 into Maryland SDR,
instead of usual quite sufficient signal, during FKB gospel huxter.
6160 -68 Hz = 6159.932 is VG S9+12 with something else as usual.
Sounds like a g.h. rather than `Cruisin Radio` as in the program
guide. 5130.302 is S9+12, T**** and a het. Nothing on 3265+. So to
hear AAAWWW I have to bring up the `7490` stream, but it stops at
0100* and remains Unfound the rest of the evening whenever I check!

So I have to strain to hear them via remotes. At 0100, 7490 no William
Tell Overture theme audible; 5130+ still with T****; 6160- dead air.
By 0104 on 7490 I hear some other music, for `Chariots of Fire`. At
0108 can recognize Allan`s voice but unreadable. NH SDR is no better,
S6 but JBA. I give up, but ask Larry Will what`s going on? His reply
at 0146 after finishing Free Radio Weekly:

``Hello Glenn, I noticed the multiple anomalies on WBCQ tonight; I
have no idea what is going on but am checking it out now. Al's
Florida relay webcast started at 0100 with the AWWWWW theme song, but
suddenly went dead air less than a minute in, then played a bit of
what sounded like a newscast, then dropped off. 7490 no signal, 6160
open carrier/dead air, 5130 trump blather. 7490 webcast was down at
0100, back at 0110 with a repeat from May. Lw`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5085 & 9475, WTWW update from George McClintock at 2015 UT
November 18: 5085 dropped off the air last night but soon restored,
#2 transmitter, still scheduled 22-04 UT. Can`t get 9475 to stay on
despite a couple of brief tests. May have Continental guy back late
Nov/early Dec for 4 days to work on that, Al from the Philippines, now
retired in Dallas, first language not English. Depends on when some
more parts arrive. One shipment came two days ago. Mechanical, not
electronic parts are needed. George has been cleaning up #2 and
labeling #1. #1 is beyond filthy, looks like cat crapped in it, unID
white stuff. Biermann is handling all the programming and has some
client prospects for 9475 once it`s operational. Still uncertain
whether going to be sold. Neighboring property reclassified as
commercial or agricultural, and to be combined with WTWW property if
sold. George hopes WTWW will survive as a SW station (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
