** CANADA. 258 MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0634 UT, dash and ZSJ, 1000-watt ND
beacon at Sandy Lake, Ont. Occasionally heard; the regulars, also
hefty 1 kW, I seldom bother to relog: 248, WG WinnipeG; and 332, QT
Thunder Bay, mixing with IC wIChita KS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Oct 18 at 2205, R. Cairo S9 but just barely
distorted modulated with hum, into Spain SDR. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, Oct 18 at 0627, JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati. Gary Pence advised me earlier it was on tonight with a
screenshot from the Oahu SDR of a tiny trace on 846 already at 0412
UT. Now, I also have neighboring 9/kHz JBA carriers on 837 and two
beating on 855, likely Canarias/Spain; As for Oct 17, 16: ``Hi Glenn -
Yes, 846 was heard Oct 17 (Monday), from 0603+ UT. Clearly was silent
yesterday (Sunday). Ron (California)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 18 at 0635, no signal direct from VON. Also no
signal at 1740 into Spain SDR while Canary SDR is too busy, nor the
latter when it connects after 1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.003, Oct 18 at 2207, VOT is on in English, S9+50 into
UTwente, undermodulated but otherwise sufficient. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2160 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT
Tuesday October 18 at 0030 on WRMI 9395: instead, after an ID,
switched to SMTV! Which per skedgrid during this hour is supposed to
be on 5800, but something else not // there; and normally always QSYs
at hourtop not bottom. Jeff White explains that the automation
sometimes goes haywire changing System inputs when it`s not supposed
to, so this was a mistake and hopefully will not rehappen. Anyhow, was
S9/+20, nor was WOR to be found on any other active WRMI frequency.

** U S A. WRMI update on FB circa 21 UT Oct 18: ``Another transmitter
and frequency is back on the air as of 1940 UTC today. We are
replacing 21525 with the new frequency of 17790 kHz. The programming
of the Radio Africa Network will be airing on this frequency daily
from 1500-2100 UT. We are using a different azimuth of 160 degrees for
this one, due to the damaged 87-degree antennas that were used before.
Tomorrow we will attempt to get another frequency on the air. We still
have 5850, 7570 and 7780 kHz to go. Thanks very much for the
tremendous listener support we have received.`` -- 17790 not checked
here yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1140 kHz, Oct 18 at 0620 UT, open carrier again, not as
obvious as last night, but suppressing `C2CAM` from presumed WRVA VA,
altho one other 1140 is on that, Palm Springs CA, never heard. This
time I do DF the OC on the DX-398 and indeed it is E/W, so KLTK, 5 kW
ND, Centerton AR daytimer is even more likely source. On the R75 with
E/W longwire, the OC is more prominent. Nulling it on DX-398, weak
Spanish, unsure if XEMR. BTW, KLTK is also Spanish if ever modulated.
Also noted the OC much earlier in evening, so KLTK presumably does not
turn off carrier at LSS. I want to check the official FCC SS/SR times
for KLTK, but AM Query errors out when trying to get to
https://transition.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?list=0&facid=33073
Are others having this problem?

The first page before that shows KLTK as licensed to La Zeta 957 Inc.;
but NRC AM Log shows it`s // K260CS, 99.9, ``Radio Las Américas
1140``. That implies some relation to 1120, KETU Catoosa/Tulsa OK,
which FCC has licensed to Radio Las Americas Arkansas, LLC; but NRC AM
Log for KETU says it`s ``La Que-Tu, 1120, La Diferente`` -- I also
have had that daytimer sometimes modulating at night, QRMing KMOX.
Judging from commercials, Las Américas is at root a grandiose grocery
store (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Oct 17 at 0402, R. Rebelde is off. 5040 is in
undermodulated Spanish with big hum, // better 11760 so presumably RHC
programming. However, at 0639, 5040 music is the only Cuban signal on
5 or 6 MHz, but 11760 is still on //. 11760 normally is off by 03* per
Aoki, 02* per EiBi. Due to recent mixups, without an ID, one cannot
assume programming now is not Rebelde instead. Ron Howard reports
later: ``Oct 16 - I found 5025 was silent from 0823+ UT (past 1035+),
but Radio Rebelde was in fact still being heard on 5040,
past 1035+``. Still no 5025 signal here at 2311 check Oct 17 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 17 at 0635, no JBA carrier direct from R.
Kiribati, this Monday. But without remote chex, cannot be positive
whether it`s on the air or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA [non]. 7255-, Oct 17 at 0637, no signal direct from VON.
Also no signal into Spain or Canary SDRs at 1855; hit at 1857 by
ChiCom big open carrier, 1900 CRI Tuerkiyeish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, Oct 17 at 2310, pirate music VP S6/7. Many
reports here as RFW > Radio Free Whatever:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,103399.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2160 monitoring: Confirmed Sunday
October 16 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9/+20
with a SAH and lite musical underference into nearby Noale SDR. If not
a 500 or 20-watt UK station, per WRTH 22, Tanzania would not be on at
this hour and when on would only be CRI relay! but 50 kW Iran in Azeri
runs to 2030*; if not a spoiler from China. WRTH 22 on page 544, MW
frequency lists, shows 200, 600 and 500 kW stations on 1323 and a
bunch of 10 kW. Sorting everything out is quite a task, likewise at
PAL, but the Big Three CRI relays on 1323 are on page 56 (of 408),
including one for Russian from East Turkistan most likely to be a
problem in Europe, but not on the air 1500*-*1100. Once again, we
would be much better off on 918 instead of 1323 as 918 is a virtually
clear frequency.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 17 at 0030 on WRMI 5950, S9+28 into
Athens GA SDR; original 7780 still not restored.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 17 at 0300 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160
minus 64 Hz = 6159.936, S9 into Missouri remote. JL axually finished
in time! Gotta go. Next:

** U S A. 5010, Oct 17 at 0402 this WRMI is S7/S9 of dead air direct.
At 0638, 5010, 5800, 5950 all TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 17 at 0646, R. Vanuatu JBA on first harmonic =
fundamental; intermittent QRM from AM carrier, presumably spoiler ham
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1140, Oct 17 at 0658 UT, steady big S9+10 open carrier
dominates, vs something weaker making fast SAH, continues past hourtop
0700+. More of a signal than we get from our nearest in daytime, 1 kW
daytimer KRMP OKC. Too late for me to switch from the E/W longwire on
R75 to the DX-398 where I might have DFed it. No modulator really owns
1140 here at night: is 50 kW XEMR Monterrey NL, still active, 24h?
Supposedly direxional SW at night per 2013y NRC Pattern Book, but not
mentioned as direxional in current IRCA Mexican Log -- the word
appears only about 15 times in entire list, some noted as not
directional despite official info. WRVA VA pattern unfavorable tho has
been heard. KXRB Sioux Falls SD U2 10/5 kW but only if on ND day
pattern rather than NNW direxional at night. Second-closest, KLTK in
NW Arkansas might do it, 5 kW ND daytimer. Checking circa 1925 UT,
KRMP is weak but with a fast SAH, likely KLTK if not TX or MO. Must
check again late night and DF if possible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Oct 16 at 0650, RHC English with jazz, S9+10/20 but
undermodulated with hum, only frequency left unless a JBA carrier on
6165 under local birdie be it; nothing else is scheduled. 6060 gone
already at 0653. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 16 at 0653, music in Spanish so is this RHC
Spanish? unseems // 6060 English but which has just vanished. By 0720,
5040 with classic rock songs in English, so is this now RHC English?
NO, at 0725 ID in passing, ``Rebelde en la mañana``! Meanwhile, the
proper Reb frequency 5025 has been off. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Sunday Oct 16 at 1430, RHC still on but unusually weak
compared to // 15140, but which at 1458 at S9 the latter is JBM. By
1503, 15140 is S9+10 and suptorted with weekly Esperanto, louder than
// 11760, S9+10, also suptorted with hum, plus another audio
undermixing, probably mainstream Spanish. 13700 stays on at 1504 with
unscheduled Esperanto, and still not off at 1518, now S9 into Maryland
SDR. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 15205.011, Oct 16 at 1432, gospel huxter in English with
flutter, slightly off-frequency, gone at 1457 recheck, what? Panam`s
Frank & Ernest, what luck, on air only a quarter-hour per week, Sun
1430-1445 per EiBi & Aoki, via Nauen toward S Asia (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** JAPAN. 11825, Oct 16 at 0656, Japanese about Tokyo, S4/S6, instead
of 11815 with a presumed weak Brasil. Yes, NHK A22 scheduled 11825 at
0655-0800; 11815 at 0955-1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 16 at 0648, no signal direct from VON. At 1721
& 1847, no signal into Canary SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2160 monitoring: new skedgrid of

** U S A. 7730, Oct 16 at 0646, WRMI-1, best yet of this since
reactivation, S6/S8 direct but dead air or maybe just barely
modulated. I wonder what its true power and azimuth, antenna type be
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5010, Oct 16 at 0652, surprised this WRMI-14 is still on,
S9+10 now with TOM, BS with a caller mentioning listening on 5085 -
which would have been WTWW many years ago. But WRMI skedgrid has now
been updated October 15 showing 5010 at 22-14 daily + TOMBS to 16
Saturdays. 5800 is now off, as sked 22-04 only. 5850 still not
restored at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 15770, Oct 16 at 0655, JBA carrier, so along with
15230 JBA carrier, the OSOBs and SSOBs. Jeff said 15770 would be
running 24 hours; but can hardly expect it to propagate in the
nightmiddle. Yes, new sked shows WRMI-10 on 15770 for 24 hours, partly
// 7730, both allegedly on 44 degrees toward Europe. So have one or
two such antennas been restored despite initial conclusion it was
irreparable? 15230 at this hour presumably CRI Xianyang site, not RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 16 at 0648, S6/S8 of ``island music`` from RV.
Tuning to 11835 at 0659.4 it`s just come on, S6/S8 of music; and 7890
JBA carrier, the harmonix of 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
