B-21 SCHEDULES LINX
incomplete yet but partially updated at WOR home page:
http://www.worldofradio.com

** CUBA. 13660 & 13780, Nov 7 at 1419, RHC JBA on mirrored leapfrog
mixing products of 13700 & 13740 which are S9+10 and S9+20. During
pen-pal show laboriously reading out and repeating postal address of
Cuban desiring correspondence. 1436 recheck, `En Contacto` underway
confirming standard time shift to one real UT hour later; items about
Radio Enciclopedia, ham DX-peditions and special events. By 1450 both
fundamentals faded down and no leapfrogs; never any spurblobs today
out of 13700 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2111 monitoring: confirmed Sat Nov
6 at 1948 UT the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, about 9 minutes into so
started circa 1939. From next week: one UT hour later.

Also confirmed UT Sun Nov 7 starting at 0323 the 0315v on WA0RCR,
1860-AM, MO, both via nearby remote KB0FX. From next week: one UT hour
later.

Not confirmed Sun Nov 7 at 1335 the 1329 on WMRI Europe, via Channel
292, Germany, 9670. Zero signal here also with high noise level, and
the 9665 China radio war is a JBA carrier; probably both VG had I
checked via UTwente, as previous weeks. So far I have had zero
response from listeners for this airing, but then I don`t induce
reports by QSL promises. Anyway indebted to WMRI for availablizing us
across Europe during testing. Next:

2100 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy [ex-2000]

[US Standard Time shifts start here; *to be confirmed]
2330 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW [*ex 2230]

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Nov 7 at 0008, WTWW-2 $ tereo webcast starts
`Theatre Organ Under the Arch` right now after hamstuff. Another
episode about the great George Wright, heard straight thru until ends
at 0056, so 48 minutes long, a compromise? between 30 and 60 minutes.
However long, and whenever starting, expected to happen one UT hour
later from next week, since despite being an `international` SW
station, WTWW goes by irrelevant local clox! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Nov 7 at 0630, WRNO again on expanded schedule, gospel
huxter in English, S9-S7. Ron Howard was still hearing it until 1300
in Chinese, English by 1305. I check at 1551 when it`s off; until
1400, or 1500? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1949 UT November 7

For B-21 season and standard time shifts

73, Glenn Hauser

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Nov 6 at 1509 quick check on Brasil
SDR, again this Saturday no signal from LRA36; only on Wednesdays
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FINLAND [and non]. 11720, 11690, 6170, 5980, Fri Nov 5 at 2323, no
signals on any of these detected at UTwente for monthly low-power
Scandinavian Weekend Radio broadcast for 24 hours from 2200. At least
no other stations blocking either; the first 10 hours supposed to be
on 11720 & 5980 --- not 5970 typo in the Radiosdumonde on disgraced FB
publicity quoted elsewhere without correxion. UTw may be too close for
11 MHz, and propagation remains degraded. At 0025 Nov 6 recheck,
however, is getting a VP signal on 5980 with discussion in English,
sounds like BBC --- in fact it *is* BBC as sked this bihour via OMAN,
0029 pause for promos and news; and no sign of SWR. So trying to hear
SWR remains a waste of time. It would help a lot if SWR picked truly
clear frequencies, even out of band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9v, Nov 6 at 0642, VON is on for a change at S7-S9
but just barely modulated. Something`s always awful at Abuja (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ND beacons in well UT Nov 6 at 0651-0700 UT with no storms
anywhere in USA per Blitzortung:

515-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0651, underneath PN Ponca City OK, which has
been constantly strong day and night, for the first time I hear
another one: OS, which is 25 watts from Columbus at Ohio State.

426-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0653 UT, ND beacon UV, which is 25 watts from
Oxford, Mississippi.

420-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0654 UT, NDB, TU, 25 watts from Tupelo, MS. I
was tuned to 419-USB

414-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0655 UT, two NDBs mixing, alternating IDs: SU,
40 watts from Sioux City IA; and ATS, 25 watts from Artesia NM; tuned
to 412-USB

404-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0657 UT, NDB, HU, 25 watts from Hutchinson KS,
not far but seldom heard; with QRM from HRU on 407, 25 watts from
further Herington KS, which is a regular

400-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0658 UT, NDB, AHQ, 25 watts from Wahoo,
Nebraska; I think the only one ever logged on 400, despite several
others listed, not even AI Ardmore OK with 30 watts

382-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0700 UT, NDB, SP, 25 watts from Springfield IL,
tuned to 380-USB

356-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0701 UT, NDB, ODX, 25 watts from Ord, Nebraska
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13563+CW, Nov 6 at 1454, HIFER beacon YSO, Yellow Springs
OH, listed as 13563.50~; aside slight 13565 CW, presumably K6FRC
California; with CODAR QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2111 monitoring: as sent
immediately to Alfredo Cotroneo at IRRS Nov 5:

``WOR cut in half --- Alfredo, New scheduling on Friday: 1911 UT tune
in, music already modulating on 7290 & 918. WOR starts on time clearly
at 1915 on both. 1930, cut to IRRS ID and MUSIC! Last half of WOR
lost. Or still music past 1933. Now what? --- And at 1934 Wavescan
starts! BTW, heavy adjacent interference from 7295 China in English.
LSB tuning of 7290 required. --- FYI, Furthermore I observed the
following as I kept monitoring 7290 and 918 via remotes: 1945 Wavescan
keeps running on both, so your time does not end at 1945 any more? but
7290 is off the air by 1956 or 1957 before WS is finished. WS is still
running on 918, but having started ``late``, is still not finished
when at 1959.5, 918 cuts to double IRRS SW announcement, signing off,
then QSL info, and 2001 into music. Glenn``

The next IRRS broadcast of WOR is on MW 918 only, again monitored thru
nearby Noale, Italy, remote: confirmed Fri Nov 5 at 2130 ex-2030, VG
signal and almost complete, but chopped off a few seconds before
finished as I say, ``Solar flux 100 November 3...`` Not only no more
mod but transmitter turned off.

Missed checking Fri Nov 5 at 2230 on WRMI 5950; anyone hear it? From
next week expected to be at 2330.

Confirmed UT Sat Nov 6 at 0141 the 0130 on WRMI 9395, S5-S8 into
Winnipeg SDR, but JBA here. From next week: 0230. Next:

1700 UT Saturday WRN webcast [ex 1600]

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Nov 5 at 2222, WBCQ SuperStition in Brazuguese with up
and down strength flutter despite 500 kW peaking S9+20, but also
sideways Doppler frequency flutter, as the ionosphere has still not
fully recovered. WWV claims no storms in past 24 hours nor predicted,
but K index at 0000 would be 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.898v, Nov 5 at 2357, WBCQ S9+20 into Maryland SDR in
dead air, but 2358 song and ID, Nov 6 at 0000, William Tell Overture
for `AAAWWW`, with interjexions: ``check it``, ``no more, no more, no
more, no more,`` he begs of Angela; and ``gallop``. He`s always
opening with titillation, implying or saying that Angela is half-naked
or stripping. Then into discussion of horse riding which means this is
a rerun from last week; I missed the opening then so did not recognize
that at first. Is this the weekend he was going to some hamfest in NH?
John Carver agrees it`s a repeat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Nov 6 at 0639, YL rock song in English, maybe gospel,
S9+10. Got to be WRNO extended past usual 0400* (after DST, nominally
0500*). But bad distortion. Many months ago they stayed on overnight
for a while, partly Chinese. Others also report this, Ron Howard in
Hindi until 0502 English, Walt Salmaniw, Wolfgang Bueschel; and Ivo
Ivanov past 1000. When I recheck at 1513, it`s off. 7505 is HFCC
registered available for WRNO at 2200-1600, rest of the time on never
used 15590. Remains to be heard whether this be permanent expansion
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1637 UT November 6

** CANADA. 248-MCW kHz, Nov 5 at 0611, ND beacon dash and WG, 1000
watts from Winnipeg MB. In much degraded auroral propagation from the
north I was wondering if any Canadian would arrive, and only this one
does (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, KOPX-TV OKC, Nov 5 at 1520 UT, checking out the
other 6 subchannels besides recently discovered Newsy on 62-7:
62-1, ION
62-2, Bounce
62-3, CourtTV
62-4, Grit
62-5, Defy TV
62-6, TruReal

Defy TV? Yet another new ``network`` never heard of before. Per
website its flagship shows are ilk of American Pickers, Duck Dynasty,
Pawn Stars. Pass!

True Real? Ditto: Married at First Sight, Wahlburgers, Escaping
Polygamy, Hoarders. Pass2! Is there really a market for all these
lobrow reruns on obscure subchannels? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** THAILAND. 11660, Nov 5 at 1457, music marred by heavy Doppler
flutter, beyond Cuba and non, strongest signal on band, off by 1500
recheck. VOA Chinese via Udorn scheduled, so could be jammer instead,
but only one signal heard. After severe geomag storm, many other JBA
signals also have Doppler flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 257-MCW kHz, Nov 5 at 0609 UT, ND beacon JYR, which is 25
watts from York, Nebraska.

293-MCW kHz, Nov 5 at 0610 UT, ND beacon FBY, 25 watts from Fairbury
NE. So common I don`t always log it. Not many are making it now in
geomag storm, and only one from CANADA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 10000, Nov 5 at 1504, WWV in a special announcement during
the minute reserved for such, about something at :48, refers to
www.hamsci.org/wwv

Before 1700 I`m trying for a good WWV signal via Maryland remote;
altho 10000 is S9 with tix clearly audible, the voice announcements
come thru JBA, very strange. Before 1704 I switch to direct reception
on 10000, and partially copy the announcement by roboyl: Starting Nov
15 there will be tests on WWV on the hour [?? not clear the time!] and
WWVH at :48 for HamSci and NIST, consisting of tones, chirps, noise
bursts, for several weeks; see website [as above] where we find this:

``WWV/H Scientific Modulation --- Welcome to the WWV/H Scientific
Modulation Working Group page! For more information about scientific
modulation on WWV, email hamsci@case.edu

HamSCI's WWV/H Scientific Modulation Working Group is exploring
possibilities for additions to WWV and WWVH's modulation that can be
used for science purposes. Current status: a characterization signal
has been designed for test broadcasts on WWV and WWVH. View it here:
DOI

TAPR DCC Presentation, 18 September 2021: WW0WWV has written an
excellent report on the TAPR presentation, which you can read here:
WWV/WWVH Scientific Modulation Working Group | WWVARC`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2110 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu
Nov 4 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 S9+10 and 9455 S9 but 9395 is much
louder.

Also confirmed final repeat UT Thu Nov 4 at 0140 the 0130 on WRMI
5010, S9/+10 but noisy.

From next week all three should be at 0130. BTW, no more logs made UT
Nov 4 during severe geomag storming, K-index hitting 8 as Rodney
Johnson points out, and Spaceweather says auroras were visible into NM
which means also to northern OK.

WOR 2111 confirmed first broadcasts, UT Friday November 5 at 0130 on
WRMIs: 7780, S7-S9 into UTwente but at 0144 S9-S5 direct; 5850 VG
direct, at 0144 S9+10/20.

Also confirmed UT Fri Nov 5 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, but JBA at North and
Latin American remotes during degraded propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Nov 5 at 1502 and 1505, no signal from WLCR on WBCQ;
another breakdown? Surely would be detectable despite storm; WRMIs
with southern advantage are VG. 1648 recheck, now it`s on with a
continuous tone test, S9+10 into Maryland SDR; carrier offset only 0.3
to 0.5 Hz. By 1719 resumed abnormal programming about the Earth being
covered by a dome, which is in scripture, they say (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 680, Nov 5 at 0613 UT, talk show with echo from two
different stations; closest normally is KFEQ St Joseph MO; must be
`Red Eye Radio` as also // but not synch on 700, 760, 820, 890. Per
NRC AM Log, the only other RER on 680 is 50 kW WPTF Raleigh NC, major
night lobe to the south, nullish thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 830, Nov 5 at 0615 UT, WCCO now with `Jim Bohannon` show
about 2 seconds ahead of // 720 WGN; after 0500 of course it`s a
replay but he keeps uttering phone-in numbers. In Standard Time, live
runs will be 0307-0559 UT Tue-Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Oceanic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 5 at 0601 UT:
at this hour, I usually start with 846, presumed Kiritimati, and it is
there now, but the only other 9-kHz are 621 and 711, surely Canary
Islands and Morocco, all lower-latitude paths as higher signals from
Europe are blocked by severe geomag storm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1370.47V approx., Nov 5 at 0621 UT, wavering het to
1370.00 pileup. Nothing listed anywhere so far off at mwoffsets (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
