** CUBA [and non]. 1040, Oct 24 at 0640 UT, ``whooper`` QRM vs WHO, a
typical Cuban defect. WRTH has only one, 10 kW R. Mayabeque, Güines
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2266)

** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, Oct 24 circa 0640, JBA carrier from RNZP, as has

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 960, Oct 24 at 0632 UT, local KGWA Enid in C2CAM
but considerable CCI and a pronounced SAH, adding up to S9+42. Only a
few km away, this is unusual: must be on reduced power, yet air not
deadened. Also echoing C2CAM from an understation, most likely WERC
Birmingham AL per NRC AM Log altho there are a few others at greater
distances, lesser powers. However, Log does not have KGWA as C2CAM
station; may have started later after August closing (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 17790, Oct 24 at 1904, WRMI R. Africa noted for first time
since Hurricane Milton, S6/S7 relinglish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD
OF RADIO 2266)

** U S A. 660, Oct 24 at 0636 UT, NO C&W loud and clear but mix of
weaker signals, so KTNN AZ must axually be on night pattern protecting
WFAN, unusual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN [and non]. 25700, Oct 24 at 1418, S5/S7 in language, i.e.
Hausa from BBC via SMG at 1400-1430 M-F only. Logged for the record.
Not violating Separation of Church and State as both UKQOGBANI and
Vatican are theocracies. Vatican apparently has no problem doing
business with Church of England heretix. OSOB, nothing audible on 25800
where LP Denmark could be 24h; per Aoki, only other 11m activity is
25900 at 1200-1230 daily, BBC French via Madagascar. EiBi adds the LP
Russian on 25900 and USA broadcast auxiliary relays, all apparently
inactive, on 25910, 25950, 25990, 26110, 26190, 26450. I frequently
check 26110 for KMK282, of KOVR/KMAX Stockton/Sacramento, the last one
active, not heard since Nov 28, 2023.

HFCC B24 as of Oct 22 shows some other intriguing possibilities on 11m,
if they ever happen:
25700, 1400-1430 M-F BBC Hausa will be via Woofferton instead
25795, 25800, 25805, 24h alt channels for 10 kW WMR Denmark
25820, 1400-1500 daily but irr. DRM from Issoudun, France
25850, RON, Luxembourg in Portuguese, 1 kW, 24h
26000, Spaceline, Bulgaria, 24h 50 kW at 306 to W Europe
26010, IRDR Vatican placeholder, 100 kW to all CIRAFS, 24h
26040, new 1 kW FNA Berlin in German, 24h
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9945-9970 approx., Oct 24 at 0128, OTH radar clickery
QRMing 9955 WRMI amid, as heard via Bonaire SDR; 25 kHz bandwidth,
typical of Russia? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 21725.0, Oct 24 at 1903, JBA carrier direct, the OSOB.
Nothing listed anywhere around here; I also get local birdies obvious
on vacant bands, but they land on odd split frequencies, yet this one
is exact so suspect it`s real (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL. Kudos to Fred Studenberg in Melbourne,
Florida, producer of the no longer available BST-1 SW car radio. It`s
remote-controlled only by a key fob link on 433.92 MHz, but I lost it
on an outing! Fred very kindly replaced it for me at no cost, which
also involved sending the radio back to him for reprogramming. Website
is still up where you may read all about it; maybe find one on used
market?

** CANADA. 28153 CW, Oct 23 at 2204, beacon: VE3IDS/B EN94 - the
complete message repeating. WGB list: ``28153 VE3IDS/B - Owen Sound ON
CAN EN94ll - #0 (22 Oct 2024) Note: ID + grid + 10" off power 5w`` -
Band is chock full of beacons so I just log the first one, tuning up.
QRZ.com: ``VE3IDS Canada flag Canada, Donald B Richards, 137064 Conc
7, Owen Sound, ON N4K 5N5, Canada`` Below a photo gallery of scenic
spots but mostly equipment: ``2024 June -- I have put a 10 metre
beacon on the air. It is on 28.153 at 5 watts to a 110' doublet at 40'
AGL The rig is a radio shack htx 100. Please email reception reports
to ve3ids.don@gmail.com 72/73, Don ve3ids`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CURACAO. 28340 USB, Oct 23 at 2206, rapid contacts as if
contesting, despite frequent utterances, and fonetix, I can only
understand partial call, PJ3 or 2 --- ON. None of his numerous piledup
North American contacts ever mention his call! I declare that such
QSOs should be nullified unless both stations mention their own and
their contact call at least once! I have to find him at DX
Cluster/dxheat as: PJ2/DL30N: ``DL3ON Germany flag Germany, Leon
Martin Hellmich, Lauffener Weg 2/1, Neckarwestheim 74382, Germany`` -
nothing about Curacao there but has operated from several other
countries. 10m band is packed, also with beacons but I log only one,
from Canada, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15390, Oct 23 at 2200, the REE Africa frequency is finally
back on! Weakest of the four. I had last heard it on August 23; by
next token English broadcast Aug 26, it was missing, and ever since.
As usual it`s the weakest at unfavorable angle for us, less than 15520
< 17715 < 17855, the last being S9+30/40 direct. BUT now there is
another problem: it`s Wednesday and there is NO ENGLISH!! 2200 keeps
right on in Spanish about flora or fauna in Africa and Canarias. Could
not catch program title but said something like ``doble-L tres punto
cero``. Looked up later on websked, indeed ``today`` jueves 24 at
00:00 local, it`s ``Doble Hélice``, a sci/tech show; followed by usual
French as also heard. Looking ahead a few days, English is still shown
for Sat 26 & Tue 29 at 00:00, i.e. Fri 22 UT and Mon 23 UT! So was
this a one-off pre-emption, or what? Something`s messed up in Madrid.
And isn`t it incredible that supposed ``international`` broadcasters
make listeners abroad adjust to their own local clock changes, which
should be irrelevant.

REE`s confusing B24 sked at HFCC:
http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B24&broadc=REE
pretends everything is in Spanish! The possible frequencies M/W/F at
2300-2300 when English is expected: ME 12030. Af 17755 or 21620. SAm
17715 or 11940. NAm 17855 or 9690. Likely the lower ones really in
use, the highers as alt/backup? PLUS a separate broadcast, the only
one at 302 degrees azimuth, further west toward N America than 290 for
the rest, this one on 15110 at 2000-2400 daily. But that would require
5 transmitters at once: anticipating the first new one? Power for each
as 200 kW. Hours and frequencies are quite different weekends (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Oct 23 at 2200, VOT English not off the air,
S9+20/30 direct at s/on. Distracted as usual by SPAIN and 10m ham
activity; 2215 discussion of cardiac technology such a wireless
pacemakers. -2220 outro as `Unexpected Twists of Fate``. Then I`m on
Maryland SDR where it`s sufficient, rather than UTwente: 2221
announces new English schedule from 27/10, as I have already found via
HFCC: 1330 13635; 1930 6050; 2300 5960. 2030 9610. 1730 9660. BUT she
does not mention any broadcast at 0400: Is it being canceled? Probably
not; something`s always awry at Ankara. 2222 `Sports Panorama`, 2233
`The Middle East and Turkey`. 2252 recheck with IS after s/off, to
2253* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 29620 FM, Oct 23 at 2159, I turn on the R75 still tuned here
and that unknown repeater is again/still there, as N5TZH is trying to
make contact thru it. QRZ.com: ``N5TZH USA flag USA, RICKY D PARKER,
202 PARKER RD, JONESVILLE, LA 71343, USA`` - does that mean the
repeater is near him, or is he skipping input to it? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. WORLD OF RADIO on Shortwave Radio, GERMANY, B24
changes:

``Hi Glenn, I can confirm most WOR airings will be one UT hour later,
so we can
stick to local European time for listeners' convenience. However, we
had  o cancel five late afternoon and evening airings. This is a
result of  China insisting not to leave 6160 with their so called
'German Program' - just playing music which is ludicrous. There will
be the chance of additional airings of WOR on 3975 but let's wait and
see how winter conditions evolve. So here we go with WOR time via SWR
as of 27th October:

2330 UT Friday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1530 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 6160;
1830 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 3975 +++& 6160 - cancelled+++
2230 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 +++& 6160 - cancelled+++
0930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160;
2030 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 +++& 6160 - cancelled+++
0030 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 +++& 6160 - cancelled+++
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 +++& 6160 - cancelled+++

Our official B24 schedule looks like this:

6160 kHz: 0800 UT to 1600 UT
3975 kHz: 0800 UT to 0100 UT

Thanks for shows and good work. Always appreciated. 73s Andy
(Engineer, Shortwave Radio from Winsen at the river Aller, Germany)``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO on WRMI: checking the skedgrids I see that a
couple new times have slipped in without notice, and to be confirmed:
Tuesday at 1400 on 9955 - in addition to one hour earlier at 1300! And
Friday at 1300 on 15770: that would make it the first SW airing each
week on WRMI or anywhere.

From Nov 3 after DST go off, some WRMI frequencies shift everything
one real UT hour later: 9955 and 9395 affecting WOR; while 5010, 7570,
7780, 9455 and 15770 stick to the same UT. Barring any further
changes, some WRMI System B not 9955 webcast only times also laten

TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING

PLEASE, DO ME, AND YOURSELF A FAVOR. Vote FOR Harris and against
Trump, who is evil, ignorant and incompetent. Encourage your friends
that way as well, especially any who may not be interested in voting,
so there will be no doubt who won. Of course you and they must be
registered. Thank you (and thanks to DX compatriots who tolerate my
TFRLs!) Glenn
