direct; not on 11760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE [and non]. 17545, Sept 27 at 1528, JBA carrier direct from
Issoudun, but into Azores SDR, VG S9+10/20. For the Mini Transat yacht
race, maritime weather voiced rather than faxed maps! YL in English,
heavy French accent so a real person? Surely a robot could speak clear
English. Frequent mentions of ``November`` refer to the direxion
North, as in Geo coördinates; likewise South = sierra, West = whiskey;
and East = echo pronounced eek-oh. I thought this race had been
suspended due to hurricane in the way? Anyway, forecasts for next few
days. 

1543 she starts saying ``finally...``; 1544 ``that`s all for today,
take care, talk to you tomorrow, à demain`` - the only French heard;
entirely in French earlier in the 1500 hour. 1544 heavy beat music.
1545 open carrier to 1546*. Supposedly also on 7340 from ISS, but no
signal into Azores, and at UTwente, only something else, presumably
East Turkistan, PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi in Kazakh at 2300-1800!

Alan Pennington posted all about it yesterday to the British DX Club:

``The biennial Mini Transat single-handed yacht race (sponsored by La
Boulangère) began on Sunday 21st September with 90 small (6.50m) boats
sailing from Les Sables d'Olonne in France, with a destination on the
first stage of the race, Santa Cruz de la Palma in the Canary Islands.
(The second stage is scheduled to begin from La Palma on 25th October,
destination Guadeloupe.)

One feature of the race is participants use paper charts and only have
a VHF radio (with around 10 mile coverage). But there is a daily
shortwave broadcast in French and English giving them weather
conditions.

Two frequencies are registered on HFCC for these daily Mini Transat
(MT) weather forecasts at 1500-1600 UTC: 7340 and 17545 kHz (both 250
kilowatts from Issoudun).

17545 kHz was heard yesterday (25th Sept) at 1500 UTC by Adam
Amirkhanov in Bucharest on WRTH Facebook: 
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18mRyaXsEg/

However, the first stage of Mini Transat has now been cancelled with
boats sheltering in ports on the Portuguese coast because of the
impending Category 4 Hurricane Gabriele approaching from the Azores,
expected to hit the coast of Portugal on Saturday.``

** U S A. 5920, Sept 27 at 0623+, horrible galaxy of spurs: I`m
finding numerous extremely distorted spurblobs above and below this
WTWW frequency with TOMBS matching modulation. These are the approx.
ranges, with the middle frequency being the approx. peak, but no
specific carriers. Of course, they get progressively weaker the
further out. They are approx. multiples of ~86 kHz displacement. Note
that the peaks are closer to the upper edge than the lower edge, but
maybe because of tuning in USB. Not in the order monitored. First one
found, 5834, read S9+25:

5657-5661-5663
5741-5747-5750
5831-5834-5835

** VANUATU. 9960, Sept 27 at 0648, RV not off the air, S5 of music.
Ron Howard reported earlier: ``Radio Vanuatu not heard 0545+ UT, Sept
27 -- Hi Glenn - Was just checking for Radio Vanuatu, via New Zealand
remotes and found no signal at all on
9960, 7260, 5040, 3945 or 2485 kHz. Probably another power outage that
tripped off their transmitter? As usual, I have alerted Pryce
Aptenbel, at the station. Ron (Monterey, Calif.)``

And from Gedas in Indiana: ``I just checked at 06:45 UTC and they have
a very strong signal on 9960 directly into Indiana. Your note to them
seems to have worked. However I am also hearing a very strong
broadband QRM signal coming and going that really messes up reception.

From now and for an unknown time, at least for 3years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs for DXing. Recently wemoved from the village back to the city in a space that prohibits the use ofdesktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise in the LMHF bands. Theradio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we run politically livelycondition with always very interesting twits every day ..

** CUBA. 15140, Sept 26 at 1951, RHC English not off the air, S9+20/30
into Georgia  SDR with squeal; also into Knoxville SDR S9/+10 with
same squeal so a transmission, not reception problem. 11760 not on.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. BTW, Chris Campbell hears from his
contact at RHC that they are short-staffed, so producing only one hour
of English per day, not two altho some canned announcements still say
that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDONESIA. 9690, Sept 26 at 1257, JBA carrier, presumed VOI on new
frequency, widely reported last few days as only 400 watts, but with
more hours of English than before on 3325/4755. Not Aoki but EiBi
already has full schedule including Japanese until 1300, then English.
Nothing else listed on 9690 except one hour of China at 15-16 (Glenn

** MADAGASCAR. 11610, Sept 26 at 2221, NO signal from R. Feda, the
Arabic version of MWV toward N Africa; it`s so common that I don`t
bother to log it, but its *absence* is notable, in fact more so than
its presence, altho some DX editors can`t handle a ``nothing`` log in
a by-frequency listing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 770, Sept 25 circa 0605 UT, can`t hear KKOB Albuquerque NM,
which has been easy since they had to go to 12.5 kW ND STA. Think I
was still hearing it last night. Something has changed. Yes:

"KKOB will commence operation under a low power (1 kW) STA imminently
while awaiting construction of new permanent facilities for 50 kW Day
5 kW Night operation at the antenna site of KTBL.

The remaining tower and other facilities at the licensed KKOB site
will be dismantled. The Santa Fe booster, call letters also KKOB, is
unaffected by this change."

Re: Radio License Holding CBC, LLC 
KKOB(AM), Albuquerque, NM 
Fac. ID No.: 11251 
Special Temporary Authority 

Dear Applicant: 

This is in reference to the request filed September 3, 2025, on behalf
of Radio License Holding CBC, LLC ("RLH"). RLH requests special
temporary authority ("STA") to operate station KKOB(AM) from an
alternate site location with a temporary antenna.

In support of the request, RLH states that because of the imminent
dismantling of the remaining antenna tower at the licensed site of
KKOB(AM), the station is requesting an STA to relocate to a nearby FM
site.  

Specifically, KKOB(AM) proposes to operate from a site located 21.4
kilometers (13.2 miles) from the licensed site with a daytime and
nighttime power of 1 kilowatt. The proposed site has an existing 196
foot tower which supports the FM transmitting antenna of KABQ-FM and
the auxiliary antennas of KABQ-FM, KYLZ-FM, and KBQI-FM. The antenna
tower will be fed with a single flared skirt wire. Based on a NEC4
calculation the inverse distance field will be approximately 197.75
mV/m/km for the 1 kilowatt operation.  

STA requests which involve a change in transmitter site must include
four critical elements: 
(1) Loss of the licensed site must be beyond the licensee's control; 
(2) STA facilities must continue to provide service to the licensed
community; 
(3) STA facilities must maintain, as closely as practicable, the
licensed service area without extending it; 
(4) STA facilities cannot involve the  construction of towers intended
for permanent use by the station requesting the STA. 

Accordingly, the request for STA IS GRANTED AND 0000269423 IS
SUPERSEDED.

Station KKOB(AM) may operate with the following facilities: 

Geographic coordinates: 35° 04´ 04.5˝ N, 106° 46´ 46.8˝ W (NAD 1983) 
Frequency: 770 kHz 
Hours of operation: Daytime and Nighttime 
Operating power: 1 kilowatt (Daytime), 1 kilowatt (Nighttime) 
Antenna type: 196 foot existing tower excited with a single flared
skirt wire
Antenna Efficiency: 197.75 mV/m/kW@1 km 

It will be necessary to further reduce power or cease operation if
complaints of interference are received. KKOB(AM) must notify the
Commission when licensed operation is restored. KKOB(AM) must use
whatever means are necessary to protect workers and the public from 
exposure to radio frequency radiation in excess of the Commission’s
exposure guidelines. See 47 CFR § 1.1310.  

This authority expires on March 4, 2026.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2314)

** U S A. 1420, Sept 25 at 0610 UT, WOC ID, but an understation says
``98.7`` - Only corrrelation in the NRC AM Log among the 60 stations
on 1420 is KUJ Walla2 Washington, very unlikely. But WTFDA FM DB hits
a very likely one: ``K254CI relay of:KWBF-1420 98.7 LUBBOCK TX 0.099

While NRC AM Log shows its //FM on 98.3 but same call K254CI. Channel
254 is in fact 98.7, NOT 98.3! KWBF 1420 itslf is U1 500/140 watts

UNIDENTIFIED. 21645, Thu Sept 25 at 1450, weak unID language, Doppler
flutter, almost the OSOB until I came to stronger 21800 with the
SOH/CNR1 jamming radio war. However, both EiBi and Aoki show such a
conflict on 21645 is off after 1300, while BBC Hausa via ASCENSION is
Saturdays only at 1300-1700 per Aoki, while EiBi says it`s irregular.

However, Ron Trotto says: ``Hearing a station in Mandarin at 1309 UTC
