** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Nov 18 at 0744 UT, dash and YXL, 500-watt ND
beacon at Sioux Lookout ON, a regular but not always. I was tuned to
345 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 9765, Nov 18 at 2154, seeking any music, a rarity on SW
after giving up on VOA q.v. 11720 caught in a loop, I find some gospel
harmonies here from MWV with a choppy signal; 2156 Palavra Alegre ID
in hyper-Brazuguese; 2159 dead air; 2200 more of same starting with
singing, 2203 stuff about Jesus [zhe-ZOO-ish]. At 2157 had given
address in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, but the website
https://palavraalegre.com.br/ omits any city, just the box and postal
code! I guess that`s enough, but why? Yes, now has a double-hour to
Brasil. Next stop for music, WBCQ, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 740-, Nov 18 at 0755 UT, rumbling het on the low
side against KRMG/CFZM/whatever, presumed longtime offfrequencier
XEQN, Torreón, Coahuila. The major stations produce a SAH of 56/minute
= almost 1 Hz. What does MWoffsets show? Lax any entry for XEQN! I
should try to refine it at a better opportunity; used to be worst
around sunrise, powering up from 1 to 10 kW. Does show CFZM 0.1 Hz low
and KRMG 1.0 Hz high (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Nov 18 at 0723, RHC still on with dead air except for
hum, S8/9+10, and also weaker S8/S9 6100 with same hum. Is English now
supposed to repeat until 0800, or 0700? No other RHC frequencies on,
and Rebelde 5025 remains absent always. Something`s always wrong at
RHC, RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 5010, UT Friday Nov 18, into Maryland SDR, WRMI again
with secret R. República in Spanish, topic: derechos de trabajo, like
for 3 hours before. Would not be surprised if a single hour about this
be repeated over & over (Glenn Hauer, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 18 at 0725, S7/S8 open carrier, presumably VON
with usual offset-minus; a bit late now but maybe on for a sesquihour
since 0555 or so tonight? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6969 USB, Nov 18 at 2229, my fourth stop for music
after WBCQ finds one pirate active now with rockish music, S5/S7;
2231.5 maybe an ID under the dense music? 2236 clearer announcement,
``You are listening to --- clock? Radio --- Radio 69 --- on the
dial``; more logs here first as unID,
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,105509.0.html
then ``Infected Mushroom Head Radio International`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 18 at 2258-2259*, BBCWS English alone
via OMAN. No VOT IS, but cuts on circa *2300 but also with heavy SAH
from another open carrier. Usual sign on and news heavy on Erdogan
doings, but at 2303 CCCCCCI starts = Chinese Communist Chinese language
co-channel interference. This time it` strong enough to make listening
to TRT too distracting. 2330 I switch to Maryland remote after token
English from Spain is over, and thus VOT Turkish music is now
QRM-free, 2332 `Feeling Supreme` on alleged benefits of St. John`s
Wort. Later a `DYKT` segment I don`t try to understand. 2353 quick
s/off, ``you`ve been listening to the 1230-1330 UTC broadcast on 12035
kHz`` -- NO, We have not! Something`s always awry at Ankara. IS then
plays, past 2355 when GERMAN IDs start to be inserted --- but only
once, whew, before cutoff. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 420 MCW kHz, Nov 18 at 0742 UT, PK, 25-watt ND beacon at
Olathe/Herbb KS, just barely enough to the edge of the persistent high
local neighborhood noise level peaking at 390 but obscuring
everything between 360 and 420, including another Kansan, 395 CA.

347 MCW kHz, Nov 18 at 0743 UT, AFK, 25-watt NDB at Nebraska City NE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11720, Fri Nov 18 at 2149, VOA Grimesland VG S9+30 off the
back toward Africa; during B-seasons, dentro-Americans luck out with
an hour of mostly music on VOA from our domestic site rather than
15580 Botswana - should include `Music Time in Africa` on Fridays, but
instead, it`s a 39-second loop repeating over and over theme music of
orchestral variations on ``Yankee Doodle, V-O-A``. Still going 5
minutes later, and I bet for the rest of the hour after and before:
more messupping at VOA. Is no one paying attention at Grimesland, or
Washington? In the past the MTIA hostess seemed unaware of this
transmission. I was searching for some music -- any music -- on SW to
accompany my nap and override thru earphones a TV set nearby.

** U S A. 5130 minus only 7 Hz = 5129.993, UT Friday Nov 18 at 0400,
good into Maryland SDR, WBCQ Radio Angela with première of a new
monthly hour, `Hobby Broadcasting Radio`, admittedly really about
pirates, with Andy Yoder, longtime pirate enthusiast. Says this will
be monthly on third Thursday at 11 pm ET/0400-0500 UT, so next one
will be Dec 15/16. News about this from UB came at very short notice,
but I do mention it on WOR 2165, only the first SW airing of which
happened to precede it immediately at 0330. After musing about how he
is going to do the show, most of this is phone conversation with
another pirate enthusiast, Brian Penney, columnist for NASWA Journal,
with lots of clips of recent Hallowe`en and archived piratecasts
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9330+, Fri Nov 18 at 0731, WBCQ WLCR slightly
off+plus conveniently, coincidentally? in Spanish, at about equal
level to CUBAn Spy Numbers, including uteblaaps, making LAH = low
audible heterodyne. A longtime collision between these stubborn
stations, neither worth listening to, but some recipient spies maybe
get misled, overtaken, converted? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490-, Fri Nov 18 at 2205, my third stop for some music
after Madagascar, q.v., is WBCQ during `Behaviour Night` of ancient
recordings. I don`t often hear this as timing is inconvenient. Now
reception direct is not so good, fading and noise on top of the
original lo-fi music; but it improves gradually to 2229 when I check
for pirates, see NORTH AMERICA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 630, Nov 18 at 0750 UT, classical piano music catches my ear
- but then it`s only an hymn, what a letdown. Likely KYFI St Louis,
tho there is another REL in San Antonio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 640, Nov 18 at 0752 UT, BIN and Black Information Network
often mentioned in news items about Michigan, Georgia, rather than the
usual dominators here, KFI and KWPN OK. Also binnews.com promos.
Mostly in ``standard`` English, not obvious ``Black`` accents. NRC AM
Log and https://www.binnews.com/stations/ agree their two 640s are for
Atlanta and Chicago. BIN site dispenses with callsigns and cities of
license. On the E/W longwire, so I should have DFed to tell which, or
stayed for ToH legal ID, but by then I`m occupied with 1130, q.v. WBIN
Atlanta is U4 50000/1000 watts; WMFN Pentone IL is U4 4400/1600 watts.
No echo so likely only one of them. WMFN has a sufficient lobe
thisaway,
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WMFN&service=AM&h=N
but major lobe is N toward Milwaukee and Lake Michigan. WBIN is almost
ND circular, slightly squished N/S oval:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WBIN&service=AM&h=N
HQ appears to be Southfield/Detroit MI, but r-l has an address in
Benton TN for WBIN, Ada MI for WMFN. BIN website displays no HQ
physical, postal address or location (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, Nov 18 at 0759, rock music dominant I always assume be
cheating KLEY Wellington KS, supposed to run ONE WATT at night, so we
can`t call it a daytimer, likely really full power 250 watts. Hardly
anything from 50 kW KWKH which beams west from Shreveport. I keep
listening for a definite ID as music runs thru hourtop, till finally
at 0803 UT a quick canned multi-station ID with no frequencies,
including some FM translators, and KLEY Wellington, KKLE Winfield,
both Kansas and sibling stations but supposedly totally separate
programming from same studio. Both are in groundwave range, but I have
not heard KKLE 1550 in a long time, day or night; and not now either,
some other music on not // 1550 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890 & 11835, Nov 18 at 0721, no signals from the RV
harmonix (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA split MW carrier search, Nov 18 at
0736: 1098-2, with a slow beat circa 1 Hz, again suspected one of them
V7AB MARSHALL ISLANDS, and/or Spain. What else? 1017, 711, 621, but no
846 Kiritimati. 711 & 621 correlate with Morocco & Canary close to
sunrise; 1017 I would like to be 10 kW A3Z, TONGA, already a
sesquihour after 0601 UT sunset; otherwise only two 10-kW Spaniards,
while bigger ones over there like 684 are not audible. BTW, it`s
pronounced Tong-a, not Tong-ga (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Talata? 250 kW at 45 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Europe but here we are directly beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Nov 16 at 1459, tune-in LRA36 via
Argentine SDR, song is playing at S6/S7; 1503 sign-on, multi-lingual

1 and 2; 1510 song; 1513.5 ``nos une`` ID and live YLs for the 31st
program of the Esperanza Audaz season, miércoles 17 de noviembre;
mentions Mundial, imminent SBG; current conditions, 4 degrees, cloudy,
9 kph winds; SR/SS approx. 3 am/10 pm local. There is now a
``penumbra``, not totally dark overnight. They see lights from a lot
of excursions, cruise ships. 1519 contact info, this-week-in-history,
song; 1525 ``su cía`` ID; 1526 more about history of Belgrano bases;
1531 someone on phone, or rather picked up off speakerphone, bad
audio; 1545 song; 1547 connexion to SDR lost, so I find another with
worse reception; 1555 something about magnetic field, ionosphere; 1556
my attention switches to a rare SAQ 17.2 kHz CW transmission, with
great YT coverage! 1608 music, ``nos une`` ID. YL talk continues but
stops abruptly at 1616, and nothing more for 5+ minutes (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6180, Nov 16 at 0754, Brazuguese at S9/+10 and seems // JBA
11780, so RNA apparently just came on before 5 am local (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. This item caught my eye, from Harold Frodge at
another MARE DXpedition, Brighton, Michigan: ``5010 Radio
República via WRMI; 0442, 11/12; ID & SS rlgn & talk re Cubanos.
SIO=453+ (Frodge-DXP)``

That was UT Saturday. I was unaware of this transmission, and
rechecking the WRMI Programming page and skedgrids, there is NO
mention of R.R. at all, strangely enough, just some vague broadcasts
to Cuba via France on 9490. A few weeks ago, there was also a R.R. on
WRMI itself, 5800 at 03-04, but it soon disappeared from the website
and the air.

The transmission grid for WRMI-14, 5010, 181 degrees to Caribbean,
does show System C at 03-06; but nonesuch in the C program grid,
just contradictorily, R. Liberty in Russian at 04-05 on 15770!

Now the 9490 emissions are shown as 01-02 UT on Tue/Wed/Thu; 01-04 UT
on Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon. This is Wed, so 9490 is already off.

5010, Wed Nov 16 at 0344, via TWR Bonaire SDR at S7/9+10 with NO
jamming, I`m tuning in early to check out HF`s report: and find R.R.
is already on air so probably started at 0300 if not even earlier. I
keep monitoring as the only topic at great length seems to be derechos
de trabajo = workers` rights, as if this were Labor Day. As I tuned in
they were quoting Jorge Mas Canosa, and some lemas. Break for WRMI ID
at 0359, and more; still going past 0432. 0439 announces sked for 9490
only. 0443 besides the directorio.org main website, refers to another
site for audio, www.radiorepublica.us Still going past 0500; 0556 says
has been about workers` education, sked again for 9490 only; 0559 WRMI
Spanish ID and 0600 finally switch to The Overcomer Ministry Brother
Stair - TOMBS. Like 9490, the span of this may vary from day to day.

So it appears WRMI is repeating earlier broadcasts on 9490, maybe not
even same date, as this was at least three hours long, while only one
hour was originally scheduled for this day. Nothing about 5010 on air
or on website no doubt has delayed Cuban jamming from attacking it.
Meanwhile the dentroCubans are still absent from 5025 & 5040 - which
BTW could theoretically produce a leapfrog mixing product interfering
with WRMI on 5010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 16 at 2150, S9+15/30 of humwhine only, no
programod in English from R. Cairo; kudos however for consistent
frequency precision at minus 5 Hz! Something`s always egregious in
Egypt, abysmal at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 16 at 2310, token English from REE VG S9+15/30
into Maryland SDR, Coe interview about flamenco performances; 2325
correspondent from Beirut who seems to be a regular. All others on,
weaker but sufficient, 12030 > 11940 > 11685 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Nov 16 at 2310, NO signal from VOT English into

on this or any band, not 10080 either = 2 x 5040 which I forgot to
recheck Nov 14. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13767, 13834, 13633, 13566 approx., Nov 15 at 1604, extremely
distorted FMish spurblobs out of RHC 13700 AM which is S8/9+10,
intervals of about 67 kHz. Outer ones much weaker, and the lowest
QRMing CODAR. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauserr, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13606 approx., Nov 15 at 2220, RHC spurblob FMish with F#
tone, extremely distorted talk, would make a better jammer than mere
noise if Martí were still on 13605! Obviously out of clear AM
13740 transmitter amid all the others I then find to 2227, same
unit no doubt as in mornings out of 13700. They are all broad and hard
to pinpoint, so I try to pick where the FM be loudest: 13673, 13808,
13877, 13948, 14008; 13534, 13467; some approx. intervals of 67-68
kHz. Note, so bad that extends into 20m hamband: that ought to get
attn of intruder-watchers. Could be yet another circa 14075, but a
huge digital hamblob already there. The lowest two QRM with CODAR.
Innocent 13680 AM RHC is also on. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9535, Nov 15 at 2213, RHC Spanish ID, S9/+10 but JBM. I check
some others: 9710 a little better, S9+30/40; 11850 at 2218 S9+5/25 but
suptorted to JBM. No signals on 15370 or 15730. Also patrolled all
bands 5 to 17 MHz for any RHC English: nowhere, including ex-11880.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 15 at 2212, R. Cairo S8/S9 of dead air with
whine, no programod. Something`s always egregious in Egypt - not only
this but horrible dictatorship vs human rights, so we shouldn`t be too
sad they can`t propagandize (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15680, Nov 15 at 2228, S9 of some chanty music; 2229 dead
air; 2230 AWR theme, KSDA ID in English, next in Indonesian. 2200
listed as in ``NJ Ngaju Dayak: Indonesia-Borneo (0.9m) [nij]`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 15 at 0735 at first nothing, then JBA
carrier from R. Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALI [non]. 5995, Nov 15 at 0723, JBA carrier. By now presumably
Echo of Hope, VOH from S to N Korea, its jumparound channel this week?
Not checked earlier, as ORTM used to dominate from 0600 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 15 at 0733, no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.018, Nov 15 at 2220, VOT English is S9+40 into UTwente
but undermodulated and hummy vs CCCCCCI undercurrent (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 7520, Nov 15 at 2230, VP S5/S8 English headlines, sounds
like BBC. Yes, this hour only via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES for
Indonesia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2164 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday

** U S A. In a phone conversation early UT Nov 15, George McClintock
explains what`s going on with WTWW; from my scribbled notes reflecting
his POV:

Ted Randall is definitely out of the picture. He does not and never
has had any ownership in Leap Of Faith, licensee of WTWW, despite the
entry as such in Wikipedia. Ted can do whatever he wants elsewhere,
but can`t call it WTWW. George is on the books as head of LOF, but in
effect had sold his interest to Scriptures for America, the defacto
owner.

He has been to the transmitter site and finds it quite in disarray.
Both transmitters had been operated with their doors open, which is a
no-no, perhaps accounting for splatter. Neither would work until he
fiddled with them, finally got them on for brief low-power ~5 kW
tests. Cooling water was discolored, dirty. About half the modulation
cards missing from each. Tuning to 9 MHz band done incorrectly.

Plans to get WTWW back on air with SFA on one transmitter, variety of
preachers on the other, but no music.

Meanwhile, `WRMI Legends` has appeared in scattered areas of the WRMI
program schedule, no doubt Ted Randall`s stuff. Not clear if these
will axually start Nov 15, and there may be further adjustments:

On the transmission grid, UT, System, Xmtr#, Frequency:
22-23 G 6 9395
23-24 L 8 5950
23-24 L 5 9455
00-01 C 5 9455

On the more detailed programming grid, only the first matching above:
23-24 L 5950 daily
02-03 F 5850 7730 15770 Sunday
03-04 G 9395 Mon Tue Thu Fri Sun

Ted still controls the WTWW.us website, but which is now referring to
WRMI Legends ``live nightly on WRMI soon``.

Later: yes, there`s Ted Nov 15 at 2209 on S9+30/40 WRMI 9395 after
disco music, ``we`re back, WRMI Legends``, then Atlas Weather with
Erika Walters centred on Miami, but also diverse spots like Escanaba.
Does this sorta replace BBB`s `Oldies` filler? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Nov 15 at 0729, JJBBA carrier, but none audible on
11835, harmonix of RV 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
