** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 1 at 2155, JBA tone direct; 2201 into UTwente,
S9+35 of big multi-frequency tone, no programod at all, as something`s
always egregious in Egypt. Believe there was no R. Cairo signal last
couple days, unlogged (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Nov 1 at 0653, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati;
cursory 9/kHz split check does not find any TAs now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MALI. 5995, Nov 1 at 0635, reliable ORTM is OFF. Manuel Méndez
Lugo, Spain, also reported: ``Logs in Friol, NW of Spain, Tecsun
PL-880, cable antenna, 8 meters: Radio Mali, Bamako, out of the air.
Checked 31-10 afternoon and evening, first on 9635 and later on 5995
and 01-11 morning, first on 5995 and later on 9635, no signal``. This
is/was one of the last national stations in Africa on SW.

5995 & 9635, Nov 1 at 1651, no signals either into Canary SDR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 7255-, Nov 1 at 0621, NO signal from VON. At 1652,
only CRI English into Canary SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 9515-9520-9525, Nov 1 at 0619, DRM noise at S9. HFCC shows
it`s RRI Galbeni in French at 0600-0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 1 at 0029*, VOT finally turns off wrong German
hour only halfway thru it, shortly after posting my previous report.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. 7285+, Nov 1 at 0622, BBCish news about S Korea
crowdisaster, 0625 S Asian correspondent about the deadly footbridge
collapse in India, good signal direct, something new for B22. At first
I wonder if RNZP relay, as 7285 is one of their frequencies, tho
scheduled now in HFCC only at 1645-1900 in DRM --- and not at all in
RNZI own sked. They could have turned on second transmitter since
13730 is not propagating at all? Fat chance.

HFCC B22 reveals at 0600-0700, 7285 is really BBC via SAO TOME, 100 kW
at 335 degrees. That fits because this is characteristically
off-frequency, drifting upwards, measured at 0630 on 7285.036. 0632 as
`Newsday`. Why bother with different programmme names for all-news
segments? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790, Nov 1 at 2043, S9 of dead air from WRMI Radio Africa;
next check at 2154, gospel huxter still going rather than closing at
2100*, compensating? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330v, Nov 1 at 0620, WBCQ/WLCR is OFF, unusually at this
hour; still/again OFF at 1534. What`ll we do without the flat-earthers
to ridicule? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Nov 1 at 0621, No signal from R. Vanuatu, not even a
JBA carrier vs local device birdie. But at 0700, JBA carriers on 7890
& 11835, so 3945 has come on to harmonicize (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2221 UT November 1

** FRANCE. 21690, Oct 31 at 1531, JBA carrier, searching for any B22
activity on 13m band, only this, the OSOB and consequently SSOB, per
HFCC, RFI ISS in Swahili 1500-1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. 1323 kHz, Sunday October 30 at 2000, IRRS SW via AM Italia,
Villa Estense, still not on 918 or 207 either, with special hour
tribute to the late Dario Monferini, of Milano, who died October 17.
After confirming it here via Parma SDR, I`m listening on the clear
NEXUS/IBA webcast. Starts with a rock tune I recognize as one of the
liners used to appear on RN`s Media Network. Then Alfredo Cotroneo
introduces the show, ``Hello There...``, apparently name of mailbag in
years past. This is part 2: missed part 1 last weekend. Will play a
Play-DX show of Dec 1989; reveals exact SW transmitter site outside
Milano ``for the first time``, but I missed the name. Dario had been
recorded over very lofi telco line, first in English talking about FM?
stations in the local area. 2010 they go into Italian: I can mostly
understand Alfredo in the clear studio, but not Dario so much, so
suspend. When I recheck at 2040, back in English with an old Media
Network episode about then new IRRS experiments with reduced carrier
SSB, test schedule, not about Dario; 2054 wrapup and Verdi theme
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15665, Oct 31 at 1536, algo JBM at S9/+10. HFCC shows
AWR in Malgache at 1530-1600. From inside Mad., should be skipping
over most of the island; or just counting on groundwave in Talata
area? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Oct 31 at 1459 OC, 1500 no English but
opening in Chinesish tonal language. Before 1530* brief announcement
by different YL voice seems to be giving a website or email with some
letters pronounced in English, but uncopied: need to be recording!
Reception is about the same as had been for V of Martyrs Korea,
Maldives service. Suspect it`s still them from secret site but
switching focus away from Maldives. Website has lots of stuff but NO
info I can find about any axual broadcasts! They do have a ``China
Ministry``, but no mention of Maldives:
https://vomkorea.com/en/
BTW, WRTH 22 gives HQ address in Bartlesville, OKLAHOMA! But nothing
about that on website, no postal or physical address nor US phone
number (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 7255-, Oct 31 at 0624, no signal from VON. What
about evening broadcast, nominally including 1630-1900 English? Oct 31
at 1658 it`s CRI English inbooming into Canary SDR. HFCC shows for
B22, CRI occupies 7255 from 1600 to 2100! If VON ever resume, it will
be nothing but a het against the ChiCom - but how were they to know
they would be blocking Nigeria`s last possible SW frequency, since
Nigeria refuses to participate in HFCC? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAO TOME. 7255.00, Oct 31 at 0456, African language S9/+10 until
chopped off at 0459*, S9/+10 direct. Tnx tip from Gary Pence who
wondered if Nigeria had fixed their off-frequency. But it would not be
on before 0555. HFCC B22 reveals it`s VOA in Shona via Pinheira, and
almost on-frequency! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAO TOME. 17895, Oct 31 at 1432, S7/S9 OC or JBM. HFCC shows VOA
English at 15-16; later via Botswana. WOR iog reports all kinds of
SNAFUs at VOA as B22 begins (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR0

** SPAIN [and non]. 11670, Oct 31 at 1710, open carrier with RTTY QRM
on minus side only, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR, suspected the REE
African frequency, cuts off at 1714* while RTTY remains. In HFCC B22,
only 161 azimuths registered are 17755 and 21620 --- nothing audible
theres. But José Bueno of AER forwards this notice from REE itself:

``RADIO EXTERIOR DE ESPAÑA Cambio de hora, cambio de frecuencias
Los cambios de programación y frecuencias son efectivos desde el 30 de
octubre de 2022 hasta el 26 de marzo de 2023.

De lunes a viernes, para África Occidental y Atlántico sur, Oriente
Medio e Índico, desde las 16 horas hasta las 00 horas UT.
-África Occidental y Atlántico sur, 11.685 Khz
-Oriente Medio e Índico, 12.030 Khz

Hacia América del norte y sur, Radio Exterior de España transmite en
onda corta, de lunes a viernes, de 19 a 03 horas UT
-América del sur, 11.940 Khz
-América del norte, 9.690 Khz

Los sábados y domingos, transmite su señal de 15 a 23 horas UT:
-África Occidental y Atlántico sur, 11.685 Khz
-América del sur, 11.940 Khz
-América del norte, 9.690 Khz
-Oriente Medio e Índico, 12.030 Khz``

So the Af beam remains on one or the other of: 11670 or 11685.
However, at 1710, 11685 is not on eiither; and still at 1813 neither.
Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas.

English, Mon Oct 31 at 2300 into Maryland SDR: 9690 VG local-quality
S9+20/30, 12030 S9+10/20, 11940 also S9+10/20, 11670/11685 OFF but
11670 now algo extremely distorted and splattering, no doubt RHC from
its usual starthour. In news, Justin Coe propagates a typo, giving
Bolsonaro only 40.1% of the vote instead of 49.1%! 2307 about Jerry
Lee Lewis death and how Franco didn`t approve of rock-n-roll, did not
catch on in Spain until 10 years post-mortem. 2311 main feature by
Hélena is a deeper dive into the horror film `Veronica`. 2322 about
Hallowe`en customs in Galicia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, checking for VOT English to NAm on
reactivated B22 frequency, ex-9830, since it was a no-show Oct 30. Now
on Oct 31 I tune in at 2248 direct to find a weak interview in
English, i.e. BBC Oman now scheduled until 2300, mixed with a 1 kHz
DSB tone - not a het. The latter must be from PBS Xinjiang warming up
from East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
Uyghurs and other Moslems, as already noted opening at 2300, not
listed 2330-. From 2251, insted of tone, brief bursts of ChiCom
martial music cut on and off about once a minute. 2258 stays on longer
but pause again as BBC stops circa 2259*. 2300, 2-pip timesignal and
Chinese sign-on mentioning Xinjiang. Still no sign of Turkey at
UTwente or Maryland, while I move to SPAIN. But XJPBS is JBA at
Maryland. By 2305, VOT has cut on late, S9+25/35 overriding XJPBS at
UTwente but still some QRM under. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler. At Maryland, VOT only S8/S9, sufficient but hardly solid, and
hardly any CCI. As for content I`m listening to Spain, q.v., until its
English finish at 2330. Now VOT marred by some 2ACI splash de 5950
much stronger WRMI.

2333, `Did You Know That`, what? YL accent hard to understand without
perfect reception. SAU mode helps a little. Something about a national
park, natural hill, karst?, Roman aqueduct. 2338 same theme outro
already; music fill, song in Tuerkiyeish. 2342 another song, and more.
2351, Coronavirus PSA, ``vaccine yet to be found``!!

2354 sign-off by YL with TOTALLY WRONG TIMES but right B22
frequencies. Every single time labeled UTC, but really UT+3 local time
where there has been no DST and no change: [SIC:] 2230-2330 6050,
0030-0130 9610 SAs/Au, 02-03 5960 Eu/E USA/Canada, 9660 2030-2130
Afgh/Pak/India/Uzbek/etc. 07-08 6125 Eu/EUSA/Can/Cuba, 07-08 7285
Eu/Syria/Jordan/Arabia. Plus satellite info. Note that 23-24 UTC and
04-05 UTC are pre-recorded. THOSE times were correct UTC. The
announcer does not engage brain and realize this is all messed up.
Something`s always awry at Ankara.

Speaking of which: 2354 IS, 2356 starts interspersing GERMAN IDs twice
a minute. 0000 Nov 1 open German claiming Ankara time is 21:30, so is
playback of 1830 UT on 5945. 0024 still going. Fortunately this is UT
Tue not Sun so no collision yet with The Mighty KBC, so enamored of
5960 every winter that they risk head-to-head with incompetent Turx
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2162 monitoring: Confirmed Sunday
October 30 at 2100 UT, new winter time ex-2000, on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1323 kHz, sufficient into Parma SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 31 at 0030 on WRMIs: 5950, S9+30 into
Missouri SDR; 7780 only S7/S9 into W Texas SDR. Direct on same
receiver, 5950 is S9+10/20, 7780 S8/S9 noisy. And 5950 runs about 1
second behind 7780, so separate playouts, Systems L and D
respectively. SysL operates on EDT/EST so from next week 5950 will be
at 0130 UT.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 31 from 0302.5 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160
minus 64 Hz = 6159.936, S8/S9 into Maryland remote. JL finished by
0301, gotta go, then ID for Radio Luxembourg, why?, 0302 dead air

** U S A. 9275, Oct 31 at 2106, WMLK is on with gospel huxter, S9+25
on meter but only fair and noisy. About the same as neighborneighbor
9265 WINB. Sure doesn`t sound like 300 kW. Someone noted WMLK absent
and was wondering. HFCC B22 still has WMLK at 17-22 UT except on Day 7
= Saturday, 300 kW at 53 degrees. Also 15150 at 04-09 yet to be
activated, a very strange band and time for Europe. Maybe same problem
as WBCQ getting the thing to change frequencies? Fortunately (Glenn

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 31 at 0624, RV is JBA, still here (Glenn Hauser,

The next update is scheduled for around 6 November for DST changes in
Americas.

Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe

** CUBA. 5025 Rebelde, 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, Oct 30 at 0705,
The Cuban Five of RHC are all off, nowhere to broadcast Sunday
Esperanto supposedly scheduled at 0700 but announced all summer as if
0800 on 6100. Esp`o still confirmed at 1507 on 11760 and much weaker
15140. With return to EST next Sunday, as a running dog of Yanqui
Imperialism, should shift to 1600 & imaginary 0800 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 13820, Oct 30 at 1522, R. Martí, VG S9+20, no
jamming audible. Totally predictable B22 ex-13605; still jammed on
11860 & 11930. At 1719 check into Maryland SDR, still jamming against
nothing on 13605 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** HAWAII. Re: USA, 5000, Oct 29 at 0548: ``Glenn, the sweep tones at

Texas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [and non]. 1323 & NEXUS-IBA webcast, Oct 29 at 2200 UT,
Feature Story News, 2207 music, not the Dario Monferini tribute. Seems
there were some errors in the IRRS schedule quoted previously. It
showed 22 UT as = 19 CEDT, but there is never a 3 hour difference. Who
knows what time it was really supposed to be? For Sun Oct 30,
supposedly at 17 UT = 18 CET, on 7290, correct conversion but the 7290
span should now be at 19-20 UT only, unless this were a special
booking. I miss checking whether 7290 really on at 17-18. If only
everyone would stick to UT yearound, there could be no confusion.

7290, Sun Oct 30 at 1915, NO IRRS signal into UTwente, just heavy ACI
splash from 7295 CRI English, now scheduled 500 kW due west from
Urumqi, East Turkistan, std denunciation, at 19-21 --- so good times
to avoid adjacent 7290. What does HFCC B22 show for ``Milano``?

7290 1800 1900 18-20,27-30,37-39 MIL 150 0 0 925

i.e. NOT at 19-20 UT, but still at 18-19 for entire season, PLUS 20-21
UT starting Nov 6, why? Happens to be date DST ends in N
America?(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Oct 30 at 1500-1530, what`s become of V of
Martyrs Korea service from secret site? Tune-in at 1509, S6/S9 signal
still, but talk by two OM voices sounds tonal like Chinese, not
English or Dhivehi. Not // 9660 in CNR1 check, or was that Taiwan. I
don`t think there was any English closing at 1529 as VOMK used to
provide, tho I was distracted during that minute; and off at 1530, no
longer followed by Vatican in Arabic. Last part monitored via KFS
remote on its NW antenna. Furthermore, no signal on 11825, which used
to be RBAustralia Burmese for comparison at 1500-1530 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13730, Oct 30 at 0706, JBA carrier from RNZP on new
B22 frequency, ex-9700 which was excellent SSOB for us! IF you believe
own schedule, https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen
13730 runs 0659-0858 daily, and 0859-1258 Mon-Fri only and on NW
Pacific antenna, bad for us -- therefore totally OFF THE AIR Sat & Sun
0859-1258! Preceded by 15720 all the way from 2059 except Sat 1959,
until 0658; and followed by 7390 at 1259-1650 daily (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SAO TOME. 13580.067, Oct 30 at 0707, SSOB English sounds like BBC
with news about S Korea crowddeaths. It is now B22 without any such
HFCC scheduling, rather 05-10 USAGM Urdu via Kuwait; Pinheira must
still be on A22! BBC at 07-08 only, 335 degrees; and with typical
offfrequenciness from this site, where something`s always wrong,
reflecting badly on both USA and UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Oct 30 at 0705, JBA carrier presumed SIBC.
Still no 5025 Cuba to obscure it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Oct 30 at 1719, no signal direct from REE on B22 NAm
frequency, but new 12030 for ME off the back is S9/+10 at 1506. Into
Maryland SDR at 1717, 9690 is only S5/S7, but 12030 S7/S9, with 11940
for SAm also audible weaker. Not sure yet where the Af beam be, but
surely a poor 4th for us. Sportstalk or stupid ballgame coverage. As
every B-season, 9690 is too low for NAm across full-day path, but
should be good for mostly-night path later such as English M/W/F
2300-2330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9830, Oct 29 at 2200, no signal from VOT English
for N America, into UTwente, what should have been the final broadcast
of the A22 season. Not on 5960 either in case they have jumped the gun
to the B22 frequency. Rather, something`s always erroneous at Emirler.
So I check at the B22 hour: 2259 open carrier of S9/+10 on exact
frequency, 2300 time pip and Chinese mentioning Xinjiang. CNR is in
HFCC both A22 and B22 supposedly not starting until *2330 from Urumqi,
East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs
and other Moslems. Once Turkey gets going with English on 5960 at
2300, we can only hope there will be a lot less QRM from that over
here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2162 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
October 29 from 1935 UT on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO, S9+18 into
nearby Warrenton KiwiSDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 30 at 0030 on WRMI 7780 reactivated,
S8/S9 into Maryland SDR. Also resumed is a noise burst of about 15
seconds starting at the same time as the WOR playback, axually in two
parts with a break like 10 + 5 seconds. A WRMI defect; believe I heard
same thing marring start of the 0100 program.

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 30 from 0338 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,

** U S A. 5010, Oct 30 at 0704, this WRMI is still on with TOMBS;
previously had not stayed on this late. Now // 5850. Jeff`s HFCC B-22

Spanish, S9/+10. Re previous report: ``Glenn, regarding WEWN: I have
noticed that 5970 is again missing from 00-02. Also have noted the
dead air on 12050. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` Oct 30 (Glenn

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Oct 29 from 1440 tune-in via
Argentine remote, NO signal from LRA36. SDR connexion keeps stalling,
have to reload. Listening to noise for over an hour pays off,
however:

15475.83 LSB!, Oct 29 at 1548 I notice some offside SSB talk QRM while
still tuned to 15475.98 USB, eventually resolved by LSB tuning to this
frequency, Spanish talk about Marambio base, so this is certainly
LRA36 on a new frequency and maybe new/different transmitter! YL host
is chatting with OM guest. I can never get the audio to sound just
right, stepping up and down at 10 Hz intervals; even more so during
music breaks. Initially there was a reduced carrier which should have
made it easier to pinpoint, but then no carrier, pure LSB, S6/S7. 1557
``aquí en Base Esperanza``; 1600 music; 1604.5 standard canned ID for
LRA36 with staff names, ``Nacional, nos une``, a defacto sign-off, and
music for some time but did not notice exactly when it went off, well
before 1624 check; I let it run until 1637, but nothing further (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Oct 29 at 0547, only RHC on air now, English S9+20/30
with good mod except for some hum, no others of The Cuban Five on 5/6
MHz bands. Usually 6000 is off before the others. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7290, Sat Oct 29 at 1801, IRRS SW via BULGARIA, no
signal on X2 = 14580; good into UTwente with Feature Story News, 1805
India music bit, then song in English; 1810 start `Country Jamboree`
filler until 1830 cut to gospel music and 1833 gospel huxter. Instead
of the first half of WOR which ran last Saturday at 1814-1830.

Also, Ron Norton of IRRS notifies us: ``the second program in memory
of Dario Monferini, with excepts of the Play DX news program in
English and Italian, as well as fragments of our earlier tests
broadcast from 1988-89, including short segments from Radio Stella

** U S A. 7780, Oct 29 at 0552, WRMI-13 is finally back on air, as
forecast by end of this week, the last one (almost) to be restored
following Hurricane Ian; rock music at S9/+10 with slight distortion.
I had not yet seen this, which went on FB circa 23 UT Oct 28:

``WRMI Radio Miami International 17h · Dear WRMI Listeners: We just
repaired 7780 kHz today, and it will come on the air at 0000 UTC
tonight (UTC Oct 29). We now have all of our regular frequencies back
on the air except for 7730 kHz. We did put 7730 back on the air on
October 10 at low power, but we have been unable to bring it up on
high power using the current antenna. However, we have transferred all
of the programming which was previously on 7730 kHz to 15770 kHz on
our European beam. We will keep working on 7730, and we may be able to
return that frequency to the air within the next couple of weeks.

We lost three antennas during Hurricane Ian on September 28 – one to
Europe and the Middle East, one to Africa and one to Central America
and Oceania. We have placed one of those frequencies (7780 kHz) on a
different antenna to the same target areas. We replaced 21525 kHz with
17790 kHz to a different target area. And, as mentioned above, we are
still working on 7730 kHz. We are consulting with engineers to see how
the three damaged antennas might be repaired or replaced in the
future.

We want to thank everyone who has contributed to our hurricane repair
funds on PayPal and GoFundMe. Your contributions have made it possible
for us to do all of this work in just 30 days, and they will make it
possible for us to continue with permanent repairs. Thank you all very
much!``

The gridspan for 7780 at 222 degrees for WNAm - otherwise same azimuth
designated for CAm on silent 5985 - is 0000-1100 only with quite a
mixture, besides disposable TOMBS and SMTV, variety at: 00-01, 03-04,
05-06, 08-09; presumably including WOR UT Fri 0330, Sun & Mon 0030
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5129.984, UT Sat Oct 29 at 0230-0259, WBCQ Radio Angela with
weekly `Greek Music Refuge`. UB has Zach Liangas on at first to
briefly introduce the music from a name I don`t catch, as he has
chosen it. Then solid segués for rest of show, enjoyed but noisier
here than would have been on VOG 9420. At end UB offered to ID pieces
to email requestors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 29 at 0551, JBA signal from R. Vanuatu (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic split JBA MW carrier search, Oct 29 at

882-Canary or Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 1913 UT October 29

** CUBA. 6060, Oct 28 at 0605, JBA carrier: hard to believe it`s RHC,
but nothing else listed at this hour, except in Aoki: SRDA Curitiba,
Brasil. Is it active? Not in EiBi or latest DSWCI DBS as of last
April. Not in WRTH 2022, 2021, either. Same question I raised on July
9, 2021.

6165, Oct 28 at 0605, only RHC left, in English, S9+10/20 but
undermodulated. No Cuba or other broadcasters above 5000 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 28 at 0607, VON is on at S9/+10 but JBM. At
1742, 1826, no signal into Canary SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Friday October 28 at 2200, token English from REE,
sufficient on NAm frequency, S9+20/30 into Virginia SDR. Feature after
news will be part 2 of interview about Salem witchcraft, plus a
Lebanon/Israel agreement, and another spooky movie review. 2206
witchcraft starts but doesn`t really interest me. 2225 the Leb/Isr is
about maritime border agreement for offshore gas exploration, brokered
by US, i.e. each signed with US, not having to deal directly with each
other. 2227.5 final #10 Hallowe`en movie review, did not get Spanish
title, as signal is fading down. 2316 recheck, nothin` but noise on
17855, but SAm`s 11940 is still S9+5/10 into VA; 15520 & 11670 would
have closed after 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, W OR)

** TURKEY. From HFCC B22, VOT TRT in English, as expected changes, 1
real UT hour later from Oct 30:

** TURKEY. 9830.021, Oct 28 at 2200 no signal yet into UTwente from
VOT English; must have come on way late but going S9+25/45 at 2230
after I retune from Spain --- but it`s not English, rather Turkish.
2235 machine gun fire, declamations, like a military coup?? Also has
some music background, 2238 martial songs; 2240 more talk and machine
gun fire. At 2243 I notify the WOR iog to tune this in quick! But no
replies. Then mostly songs, no English, cut off at 2255.5 which would
be nominal for end of broadcast. Probably the sloppyrators brought up
the wrong program feed, like a dramatic movie soundtrack. Something`s
very erroneous at Emirler and/or awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 6m DX MAP commonly shows Es MUFs to 70+ MHz, hardly ever
above 88; but that`s plenty for 28 MHz hambeacons to show. I only have
time to copy a few, among others also too close to each other less
than 1 kHz apart, Oct 28 at 2020-2027 UT, first with listings from

antenna is an A-99 vertical. The keyer is an ID-O-Matic by N0XAS. The
receiver in the HTX-100 smoked, literally, years ago but the
transmitter just keeps on going. I have a small fan in back of the
radio to keep things a little cool. For me part of the fun of having
the beacon is playing with antennas. So far it's had a loop, dipole,

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2162 monitoring: not confirmed UT
Fri Oct 28 at 0330 on 7780 still not restored, nor 9455.

Confirmed Friday October 28 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, VP S7/S9 direct, and
off after 1500.

Also confirmed Friday October 28 from 1815.3 on IRRS via Bulgaria 7290
and AM Italia 1323. Into UTwente, S9+5, nothing audible on X2 = 14580.
Into nearby Noale SDR, 1323 with heavy CCI from Romania`s minority
German service: e.g. 1823 WOR is atop, 1828 about equal, 1831 WOR
abottom, 1843 WOR JBA way under.

Monitoring same earlier and later: 1323 from 1756 tune-in classical
music from Rom way atop; nothing ever on 918 or 207 kHz. 1801 IRRS
``sign-on`` by when 7290 is also on so I mainly listen there: Feature
Story News & Spotlite; 1806 song fill; 1812 open `Counterspin` with
Jennine Jaxon [sps?], one current news item being explosions on
pipeline off Poland: that`s really olds, happened on Sept 26. 1815
chop off for IRRS ID and then WOR.

After: 1844 music and IRRS ID, 1845 more music; 1847 open `Shortwave
Report` with Dan Roberts in CA; same old stations recorded this week:
DW, F24, RHC, NHKWR. DW is about Truss resigning, which of course is
impossible on SW in English. 1855, France 24 of course does not even
pretend to be a SW station as he continues pulling off webcasts, *not*
off SW. He does admit to webcast alternatives. Cannot provide any SW
frequencies for first two, because there aren`t any. 1857* Bulgaria
cuts 7290 off as usual before programend. Try to listen to rest on
1323 but buried by music from Romania, until 1900 prolonged tone and
off; audiblizing pretending ``IRRS SW signing-off`` and Verdi theme,
as less than half of so-called SW Report has been aired at all; 1903
FSN again.

Also confirmed Friday October 28 at 2038 the 2030 on AM Italia, 1323,
S9+10/17 well over music understation and SAH presumed Smooth Radio.

28: ``Hi Glenn, Yes, we are continuing to do daytime maintenance work

Laments cost of diesel fuel et al. to keep warm in Maine winters.

I also check Maryland remote how the SW frequencies are going: 5130
minus 9 Hz; 6160 minus 63 Hz; 7490 minus 66 Hz; 3265 off; 9330 WLCR
minus 25 Hz. All these are varying 1 or 2 Hz up and down.

0030 refers to gh and sending me the above message. Accuses me of
saying stuff without verification, but still loves me. Tower work has
been going on for 2.5 months; antenna was not 100% complete so they
are working on final touches. Ultimately will be able to beam ERP of

nor can NRC AM Log. IRCA Mexican log shows max 3 stations, not. Cuba?
Two stations in WRTH not on CMBF network. Central America? Guatemala
has a religious one. Nothing else in CAm, Caribbean or S America
with an overtly cultural or classical name, but exact formats
difficult to divine. Ideas? Possibly something completely different
defaulting to such fill during loss of network signal; or an equipment
test. This makes a SAH of 164/minute against some other = 2.7 Hz.
