** 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:
1330 12035 Eu, but NAm beyond
1730 9660 C&SAs

2130 9610 SEAs, Pac
2300 5960 NAm
0400 6125 NAm, 7285 ME

(Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 2162)

** 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

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

** 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.

** U S A. 9330+, Oct 28 at 1514, WBCQ/WLCR is off again. At 1420 Oct
28: ``Hi Glenn, Yes, we are continuing to do daytime maintenance work
on our 8 million dollar Superstation antenna, The Ampegon model RCA
4-4. The work will finish by the end of November. This will enable us
to concentrate a full 20 million watts ERP of free speech shortwave

Does that mean it has not been able to rotate as registered? Have

** U S A. 7490 webcast, UT Sat Oct 29 from 0000, WBCQ `AAAWWW`
monitoring; starts right off with anti-government talk. Must vote out
all Democrats. Gotta keep fossil fuels, very slowly wean off them.
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
20 megawatts anywhere with 500 kW transmitter. 0041 accuses Moonbats
of ``killing our children``, by uncertainty about gender. 0044 says
trimulcasting on 7, 6 and 5, on 28 of Oct YOOLF 2022. 0047 denounces
NPR = ``National Socialist Public Radio``. Radio World story from Sept
about decline of public radio, ``constagflation`. Usual prayerful
wrapup ending late at 0101, JIP Hal Turner, too late to tell whether
he still claim to be on 540 KYAH Utah, which was 13 watts at night;
did that allude to Yahweh? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1210 kHz, Oct 28 at 0627 past 0630+ UT, classical music
mixing with talkers probably KGYN & WPHT. Can`t find any 1210 listed
with classical: can`t imagine a commercial station in US or Canada,
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.
MWOffsets shows KUBR San Juan TX in the RGV on 1210.0027! But it`s
Spanish Christian. No program sked found on website (Glenn Hauser, OK,

UNIDENTIFIED. 7730 USB, Oct 27 at 0619, JBA 2-way? in language not

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 5985, Oct 26 at 0400, no signal from WRMI-2. NHK in

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 26 at 2200, token English from REE on Wed, first
checked direct: NAm frequency is back on, but poor not propagating so
well toward the end of A-season, also undermodulated? 15520 VP, 11940
NO signal so must be off since 11670 is audible but poor. By 2207 I`m
checking Maryland remote: YL interview about something: 17855 S2/S3,
15520 JBA, 11940 OFF, 11670 despite normally the worst here, for
Africa, is poor S3/S4 making it the best, but also with squeal.
Something`s not right at Noblejas.

From Oct 30 the Bquencies are likely to be 9690 NAm, 12030 ME, 11940
SAm, altho a number of new alternatives have been registered; but for
Africa it`s either 17755 or 21620, neither of which will be any good
over here by 2300; as everything including English will be one real UT
hour latened (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 26 at 2200, VOT English is JBA direct, but by
2213 into UTwente it`s S9+40/45, with scratchy over/modulation, as
something`s always erroneous at Emirler. 2216 concluding `Review of

Thomas Alford? who has written for Spectator, SCMP et al., but read by
the heavily accented YL, titled ``Britain's Political Peril Is
Unlikely to End with Sunak``. Not sure of his name, I search on that
exact title and leads directly to full text at TRT World:

https://www.trtworld.com/opinion/britain-s-political-peril-is-unlikely-to-end-with-sunak-61921
where I notice that the ESL reader simply skips over words she does
not recognize or know how to pronounce, while mispronouncing others.
His name is Thomas O. Falk. At the bottom, individuals are invited to
email their own opinion pieces to TRT. Maybe he did exactly that, so
it`s original with TRT. Otherwise the subject has no relevance to
Turkey. 2230, next show is ``Cooking Files``?? No, I still can`t

7780 kHz. We will strive to get that one back on the air within the
next few days if all goes well. Best regards from Okeechobee. Jeff
White, General Manager, WRMI Radio Miami International``

7570, Oct 26 at 2315, indeed on, S9/+10 into Maryland with RAE in
French, to be followed by weekly English at 2330-2400. Skedgrid shows
7570 as WRMI-11, 315 degrees, 23-24 Sys D with RAE Argentina M-F,
other stuff Sat/Sun, daily 00-11 TOMBS, 11-14 SMTV, 14-16 Sat only
more TOMBS. What about 7730? Supposedly restored weeks ago but at very
low power, so I don`t even detect it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 25 at 0655, VON is on at S6/S7 but just barely
modulated.

7255 minus 67 Hz = 7254.933, Tue Oct 25 at 1713, VON is ON into Canary
SDR, S9/+10 but just barely modulated in presumed English, with
squeal, useless. Well before 1730 it`s off. 1825: still off.
Something`s abysmal at Abuja.

VON might as well give up totally on SW. So do I for them. There is a
live stream, English span still presumably 1630-1900, at:
http://www.radio.garden/listen/voice-of-nigeria/k05gCdlw
At 1744 `Women & Development` is ending. 1746 `Diplomatic Suite`. 1900
ending ``60 Minutes`` sign-off does not mention SW 7255! but app and
stream. 1901 into percussive IS and Fulfulde. This via their
slow-loading website with lots of stuff, but no plain old program
schedule, linked from WOR Hitlist:
https://www.von.gov.ng/
Only other link on Hitlist is to their FB, nothing since Jan 2021!:

but they also mentioned a different? FB I didn`t copy (Glenn Hauser,

Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 25 at 2013, REE NAm frequency still off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 383 MCW kHz, Oct 25 at 0620 UT, CNP, 25 watt ND beacon at
Chappell, Nebraska, which is in the SW corner right next to the NE
corner of Colorado. And mixing with another, partial call #WL?
Nonesuch listed on 383, but on 385 there is UWL, 25 watts in New
Castle, Indiana. My local line noise level in the 370-420 area must
have relented a bit. Heavy storms on the radar map in NE TX not the
problem I expected. CNP rarely heard, last logged Dec 5, Nov 15 & 13,
2021. UWL last logged Jan 24, 2018 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9955, Oct 25 at 0216, this WRMI is still off, but
not the Cuban pulse jamming! That`ll show `em! 9395 & 9455 are
nominal. 9955 still off at 2120 Oct 25, but back on by 2155.

As of 1530 UT Oct 25, there had been *no* updates on WRMI FB since Oct
21, unusual. Finally here`s one circa 2130 UT Oct 25:

``WRMI Radio Miami International 30m · A quick update on hurricane
repairs at WRMI. Our crew continues to work on repairing transmission
lines for 7570 and 7780 kHz. They have been quite difficult to
reconstruct, but we are hopeful that one or both frequencies will be
back on before the end of this week. We will keep you updated.``

** U S A. 17790, Oct 25 at 1450, WRMI OC on already, S9/+10; by 1458
the IS & ID loop is underway prior to R. Africa service (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9940, Oct 25 at 2016, WTWW is on with rock in English,
S9+40; at 2125 WTWW singing ID, ``Voice of Freedom, WTWW 9940`` and
``a song from the Ukrainian Top 50``, but Ted doesn`t name or
translate it nor cite the number. Is there a specific sked for ``V of
Freedom``? From homepage wtww.us --

``We are broadcasting to Ukraine on 9940
From 1pm CDT to 6pm (or later) [18-23+ UT]
Listen to our Direct Feed to 9940 here:

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 25 at 0657, RV is back, in Bislama talk; had
been missing since Oct 20. It`s almost QSY time, so I tune to 11834
USB waiting for it to pop on 11835 --- but never heard well past 0700.
Then I check 7890 and 0701 there it is while 7260 is off. So the
second harmonic of 3945 is propagating, but not the third.

Later, Lúcio Otávio Bobrowiec in SP reports to the WOR iog: ``Hi all,
R. Vanuatu on 7890 and 11835 at 0841, 25/10 poor signal, male talks.
11835 better here. 73 Lucio Brazil``

And this: ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Logs in Friol, NW of Spain,
Tecsun PL-880, cable antenna, 8 meters: 7260, Radio Vanuatu, Port
Vila, 0630-0659*, 25-10, extremely weak today, unreadable comments by
