** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, again this Saturday, Oct 23, no signal
from LRA36, checking from 1509 via Brasil SDR; first camping on
another listener in Salem OR who has been hearing presumably nothing
from quite a while earlier. When on, more likely Wednesdays now,
nominal start is *1400 until 1600* but usually runs a bit, sometimes a
lot, later, chopping off air without any formal closedown/signoff.
Let`s hope the new crew be a bit more savvy about how to do a
broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 5939.144v, Oct 23 at 0625, R. Voz Missionária with music
and seems // 9 MHz frequency. Haven`t heard the lower one in some
time, but when on, it`s obvious, way off-frequency from 5940.

9666.086V, Oct 23 at 0627, RVM also still >1 kHz off-frequency with
music, seems // 5939.144v. The upper one keeps jumping back and forth,
hard to tell if plus or minus, but at one point measured here (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 23 at 0633, RHC S9+20, still on here in English:
you never know whether it last past 0600 nor whether English or
Spanish. English also still 6060 humbuzzy, 6100 best, quite stronger
than 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11840, Sat Oct 23 at 1700, Station YHWH with usual
earnest sermonizing of nonsense, S5-S7 via VE6JY Alberta SDR, after
hearing nothing via the Jordan, Utah Kiwi, must be too close for skip
distance. Tnx to Rick Barton, Sonoran Desert of AZ, tip via WOR iog,
from 1645. Also S4-S6 but noisier, direct to OK at 1706; and still at
1755 JBA; at 1759, S4-S5 to VE6JY and still past 1816 but gone by 1828
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 341-MCW kHz, Oct 22 at 1848 UT, I`m in the parking lot of
Enid Woodring Regional Airport a few km east of the city. I take out
the DX-398 which tunes below 530 kHz, and find there is NO signal on
341, no EI beacon ID, and not even a carrier. With internal antenna
only, it does easily hear RG 350 in OKC and PN 515 in Ponca City.
Earlier I had noted this along with a Michigan Area Radio Enthusiasts
Tipsheet item:

``--LW/MW NDBs Dave Tomasko’s NDB logs (in frequency order):
20211018 1031 341 EI USA OK Enid 582``

``I find this hard to believe. My local beacon has been unheard for
many weeks, tho checked almost every day and night. Of course it could
have been turned on briefly in the middle of the night once, when I
definitely was not listening. I just checked again and it is certainly
not there --- also logged some other beacons on same frequency such as
OIN in Kansas. I may go out to Woodring Airport with the portable to
find whether there be any sign of it. DT of Galena IL does accumulate
massive NDB logs from all over.``

No info on his equipment, but it looks as if he use some sort of
autologging program. Since then I continue to check 341 frequently,
hearing nothing, or bits of OIN from Oberlin KS (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 4724-USB, Oct 23 at 0635, US military with crypto message,
long string of fonetik letters mixed with some numbers. Deliberately
imposed self-QRM of background noise, reverb, and a constant whine
from about 4724.9; 0637 ``This is Construct; out`` and off the air
along with the whine carrier. There is a different ``ID`` each time
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2109 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday October 23 at 0145 the 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9/S6 into Winnipeg
KiwiSDR, which is more or less in the boresight of 355 degrees. Closer
SDRs where I normally can get it, in MO, VA, barely have a signal in
degraded propagation, and likely less to come in wintry nights.

Also confirmed Sat Oct 23 from 1600 on WRN North America webcast.

** U S A. RF 6, Oct 23 at 1512 UT, BAD DTV signal into STB, via my
channel 7+ antenna pointed at OKC. Has to be KBSD-DT, 31 kW ERP at
Ensign = Dodge City KS, the only full-power 6 anywhere around here,
and correlates nicely with tropo maps showing a little blob around
there to here. NO other BAD signals register on the open channels
between 8 and 36. I do start my DTV bandscans at RF ch 6, but it`s a
rare event when KBSD make a showing (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1849 UT October 23

** SPAIN [and non]. 11670, Oct 22 at 2157 checking for REE signals
direct as token Friday English is imminent: this is the only one
barely audible, unusable, with slight ute QRM minus not plus. If on
air, 11940 should be much stronger tho probably distorted; and no
signals at all on 15520 and for ``North America`` 17855. Recheck 11670
at 2300, via Maryland remote, two equally very poor stations with
almost synchronized timesignals, REE and CNR-2 Business Radio from
Beijing 491 site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 22 at 2158, VOT IS & IDs prior to English hour,
good S9+25, best on LSB to avoid RTTY; less undermodulated than
sometimes and would be sufficient but I`ve no time to listen to it
today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 338-MCW kHz, Oct 22 at 0628 UT, ND beacon RYN, 400 watts
from Tucson / Ryan AZ. Only obvious one not heard on last night`s
thorough bandscan. See also UNID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2109 monitoring: confirmed Friday
October 22 from 1815 on 918 kHz Villa Estense, Italy. Music from
tune-in 1814 until 1815 quick ``IRRS Shortwave [sic], signing on`` and
right into WOR. S9+20 into nearby Noale SDR and no QRM yet.

As usual, IRRS really SW, 7290 via BULGARIA, lags behind, back to
``normal`` after pre-emption on 3rd Friday. Open carrier on before
tune-in 1813 via UTwente, S7/S9+10, but modulation not cut on until
almost 1816 as the WOR theme and intro is almost over. There is lite
splash QRM not from first adjacent 7285 or 7295 where there is
nothing, presumably from second-adj. 7300 bigsig S9+25 but which is
undermodulated, i.e. IRAN in German but scheduled until 1820* only.

WOR 2109 also confirmed Fri Oct 22 from 2030 UT on Italia AM, 918 kHz
as above, now with lite CCI, perhaps SPAIN. Unfortunately, tuned in at
2026 via Noale, it`s Kim Elliott in lengthy central interview on AWR
Wavescan, which is NOT on NEXUS-IBA schedule now, and certainly will
not be finished by 2030; must have started about 2015. Yes, chopped
off at 2030 for IRRS ID and WOR 2109 playback from its start as
scheduled. Sorry, Kim; I had nothing to do with this. IRRS has this
habit of filling time with random program fragments.

Also confirmed Fri Oct 22 at 2230, newish time on WRMI 5950, S9+10
direct but some ACI from 5945 RRI English. Next:

** U S A. 15770, Oct 22 at 1452, no signal from this WRMI, 24 hours
after first noted absent, their only daytime signal into Europe.
Scheduled XMTR #9, 44 degrees at 11-02 with: 11-12 variety, 12-13
TOMBS, 13-14 variety, 14-20 SMTV, 20-21 variety, 21-22 Prague, 23-02
TOMBS; switching among four different Systems.

15770, however, Oct 22 at 2025, is back on into Virginia SDR, but JBA
carrier into UTwente. At 2156 direct it`s sufficient. BTW altho the
title for WRMI A-21 schedules still says August 14, skeds themselves
are newly headed October 18, so be alert for further changes; so far
same entries for WOR until DST stop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), Oct 23 from 0000, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`. Not
as overmodulated as before but still too much. Immediately equates
Democrats with communists, nazis and moonbats, another show railing
against all that`s wrong with a non-Trump-controlled America. I don`t
need this, so dip in only occasionally during the hour. Seems to start
complaining about Superman turning gay. 0019 interrupted by call from
Mr. Rabishu, who says he hasn`t listened to news since 2019, instead
monitors hams: some in California about discouraging gas-powered tools
such as chainsaws, setting off A&A on another rant. ``Build Back
America Better`` is BS, per Allan. Servitude was accepted back then
200-300 years ago by good people - so give them a break? But we know
now it was wrong. Last few minutes, skimming a few FRW items, prayer
and off. John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160 and 7490 this evening
with the best signal being 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio. Show
starts immediately with a rant from Allan about the changes to the
Superman slogan. He refused to say what it had been changed to but I'm
guessing it no longer ends with Truth, Justice and the American way.
Then he asks about "woke" movement is all about and also asks about
Critical Race Theory. Then into the price of fuel, inflation and
politics. Phone call at 0018 but I can't make out caller or the
question as all three frequencies have gotten terribly noisy. Then
into vaccine talk after the phone call. Another phone call at 0026 and
then into talk about statues being removed or destroyed.

Phone call at 0038 that Allan calls Pastor. At this time the best
signal I can get out of the three frequencies is an S3. Then Allan
plays some sort of audio from the Pastor that had just been on the
phone. Maybe a sermon? Reading of emails at 0056 along with a very
brief scan of the new Free Radio Weekly. Closing prayer at 0059 and
off air at 0101. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 378 kHz, Oct 22 at 0620 UT, NDB bandscan finds
intermittent dashes, dits and dahs. Sounds like an NDB but very out of
order. If really on 378, dxinfocentre.com lists only four, in BC, OR,
QC and NU, none very likely here. classaxe.com has only the three
Canadians, with OR and several more marked out, and none of them, then
or now noted with any problem like this. It`s still possible this was
a local device previously unnoticed. Anyone else hearing thus? (Glenn

Confirmed first broadcasts UT Friday October 22 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850
VG direct, 7780 S9/+15 into UTwente SDR; at 0156 direct: 5850
S9+20/30, 7780 S9/+10 but sounds much weaker and noisy (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [+non]. 15770, Oct 21 at 1447, unusually no signal from this WRMI;
comparing: too-close 15825 WWCR is a JBA carrier, as is 15230 Cuba;
but 15140 RHC is S9+10. At 1539 also no 15770 into UTwente or Maine
SDRs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0315 UT October 22

** SPAIN. Wed Oct 20 at 2200 it`s time for another token English
broadcast from REE, so I`m prepared to listen via Maryland SDR: but NO
signal on 17855 for NAm, nor 15520 backwards for ME. 11940 for SAm is
S9+5, much better than 11670 for Af JBA --- trouble is, 11940 is still
extremely distorted, so REE loses this and surely many other
listeners; as first item is about ETA. Instead I default to TURKEY,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 20 at 2201, VOT is VG S9/+20 into Maryland SDR
showing frequency offset +17 Hz, nor is there any RTTY QRM! Since
SPAIN struck out, I`m devoting this semihour to listening to TRT
English in detail. News about: attacks in Syria, COVID vax rate in
Australia, NK subs, until 2207.5 music break.

2208, `Review of the Turkish Press``, about TRNC matters [no separate
review of foreign press this time]. 2210, that COVID PSA - maybe I
zoned out but did they finally delete the part about there being no
vaccine yet? 2212 music break.

2216 plugs the 41 languages of TRT, on TV? And quickly into `Feeling
Supreme - Healthy Life` with detailed recipes for various natural
remedies for influenza, with winter oncoming, involving such as ginger
tea, rose hip tea, a quantity for something based on the size of a
Turkish lira coin --- oh2, where is mine? 2223 music break.

2228, `Weekly Commentary` turns over to YL announcer, all the previous
by the same guy with the difficult name. She is harder to understand,
seems to be about virtualhub? Anyhow at 2230 it`s time for NBC Nightly
[sic] News (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2108 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday October
20 at 2100 on WRMI 7780, S7-S8 into UTwente.
