** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Nov 17 at 1512, still NO signal from LRA36 into three Brazilian SDRs; nor at 1543 into one Argentine. Formerly active bihour Wed around 14-16, so suspect summer hiatus in progress until the new quadri-woman team take over in Feb or Mar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** THAILAND. 13750, Nov 18 at 0002, checking out HSK9 North American service of R. Thailand, as I am amazed by the decent to good reception often reported elsewhere in the continent, but the 250 kW never any good here. My generous meter claims S5-S8 but it sounds VP, with flutter, unreadable. Will there be any change at 0030 when they supposedly switch slews from east coast to west? Well, at 0032 it`s even worse, JBA carrier. Who cares about reaching the Great Center of North America? HFCC B21 shows CIRAF 7, central for the entire span 0000-0330 UT but axually on periphery of E&W; center beam of 30 degrees only at 0030-0100 is slewed -24 to 6 degrees at 0000-0030 and again 0200-0330 when CIRAF 8 is added = east coast; slewed +8 degrees to 38 for English at 0030-0100 only; English again at 0200-0230 for the east coast, same as at 0000, scheduling which does not make much sense. As for the approx. center targets of each beam: 6 degrees, north of Alaska, into Detroit; 30 degrees skirting SW Alaska mainland, to Portland to El Paso; 38 degrees, across Aleutians down California coast such as Point Reyes. Meanwhile, I am also checking remotes, for comparison: in Maryland there is no signal before or after 0030. Of course this path is almost transpolar, and would normally be inferior, less propagable. However, the KPH remote at Point Reyes on the coast of California is getting it at S3, yet sufficiently readable, also with quick short/long path echo which I am hardly expecting: Comparing short to long path from Udorn to KPH, the short path goes no further north than the Aleutian islands, while LP crosses the Indian Ocean, the other Prince Edward Island, ham DXpedition target Bouvet, across Argentina, Galápagos and up the west coast of México. All this consulting my trusty NGS globe with geometer. Short distance is 7600 statute miles = 12231 km, per distancefromto.net so long path would be 17300 stmi = 28360 km. The difference between L&S = 16130 km. Compared to speed of light, 298 Mm/sec, that`s 0.054 second, or an echo delay of between 1/19 and 1/20 of one second. All approx., of course, and axual distances bouncing off the ionosphere would be slightly more than great circles at ground level. Via KPH remote: 0025 a *commercial* for Subaru cars with cruise control, 0026 news headlines. Probably the only government external service with ads. Carrier drops for a few sex at 0029.5, interrupting headlines, back on sounds slightly louder but not on the meter in USB mode. In AM mode it makes S4. And now it switches to THAI rather than another semi-hour in English! as had been the case in previous seasons and still alleged in HFCC B21. Checking KPH again at 0208, reads S3 but sounds JBA in presumed English. Further evidence that while accessing the VOA relay in Udorn, no doubt as part of the bilateral deal, PRD ought to insist on using Greenville for broadcasts to North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 397 MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0725 UT, ND beacon which is broken. CIN? Third letter stutters. It`s really CIR, 25 watts from Cairo IL, and another listener also found this in RNA Signals List: https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals ``20181130 - Bill Stewart reports a 'hic-up' on the 'R'. Often sounds like CIN``. Already went over this anomaly in my last log of January 27. They sure have had plenty of time to fix it! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0721 UT, regular HRU, 25-watt NDB at Herington KS is mixing with a weaker one, but almost the same period, currently obscuring its first letter, but it ends with OC. Aha, that`s OOC, 25 watt NDB in Natchitoches LA, which I discussed at length recently. RNA Signals List indeed shows a period of 7.90 seconds for HRU, and 7.8 seconds for OOC. So it would take a long wait for them to separate at the rate of 0.1 second per iteration. Eventually they would be totally alternating. I was tuned to 405 USB where I hear them much better than 407 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2111 monitoring: Richard Lemke, Alberta corrects: ``Dear Glenn: So the 5950 kHz, 9955 kHz, were correct as all along have been except for the last line as 9395 kHz, was typed myself Nov 7 UTC, I had found the paper I wrote on it, 5950 kHz, 2332, 2343, very noisy, S9 signal, 9955 kHz, 2330, 2342, S9 signal, 2359, 5950, 9955 kHz, Nov 7 UTC 2021 [Sun] World of Radio #2112, confirmed, below with details, B 21 season, 5950 kHz, utility noise, QRN, 5950 kHz, 2330, 2337, 2341 (55433), (55434) 2359, 5950 kHz, Nov 12 UTC 2021 [Fri] 9955 kHz, 2332, 2341, 2355, S9 signal, 2359, 9955 kHz, Nov 14 UTC 2021 [Sun] 9955 kHz, 2330, 2343, 2350 (45433), 2357, 9955 kHz, Nov 16 UTC 2021 [Tue; New time] 5850 kHz, got it confirmed, 1030, 1057 (55433), (55434), 1059, Nov 17 UTC 2021 [Wed] (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` Confirmed UT Thursday November 18 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5010 S7 into Maryland; 9395 S7 into Winnipeg. Next WOR 2113 should be ready early UT Fri Nov 19 for download and first SWBCs on WRMIs 5850 & 7780 at 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0223 UT November 18

** CUBA. 15370, Nov 16 at 2054, RHC S9+25 in suptorted French, while English on 15140 is not so bad. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
Time for another episode of The Other Side, lest we be swayed by RHC propaganda, even if we could understand it: ``The Success of #15NCuba --- For those who dreamed of a sudden end to the dictatorship, not much happened…but for those who understand that outcome as the result of an already- irreversible process, the November 15 demonstrations were a triumph...`` https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1637069576_35579.html And as I write this on the PBS Newshour: https://video.kqed.org/video/cuba-crackdown-1637101529/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Nov 16 at 1610, routine check for weekly Tuesday clandestine Kashmir Civitas via IRRS via Romania: NO signal into UTwente. Is it all over? I garbled it again last time as ``Citivas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PUERTO RICO. Re my lament that DDP beacon on 391 is not being heard, this reply: ``Hi Glenn! Yes, I was the listener who last reported hearing beacon DDP-391 on Nov 7 with complete details, which is why my logging shows up in the RNA Signal List. On the NDB Groups.io list, several listeners reported it off starting around Nov 10, but it has since been reported on the same list as being back on around Nov 15. None of these listeners reported their reception details, so their reports do not show up on the RNA Signal List. One of the listeners who keeps careful track of NOTAMs reporting that there was none issued for DDP during this period. Steve Howe, Saint Albans, VT`` Guess what, in the meantime I did log DDP for the first time this season: 391 MCW kHz, Nov 16 at 0735, DDP; also audible tuned to 389 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 359 MCW kHz, Nov 16 at 0737, SDR, 25-watt ND beacon at Snyder TX, not far from OK but seldom herd; tuned to 358 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7240 LSB, Tue Nov 16 at 2105, ``No Name Net`` taking 15 check-ins, some talkovers, including from KS and OK. First QSO seemed about random topix as to be expected. This appeared in final edition of John Norfolk`s ``Nets to You`` schedule of April 2007 when it was at 2200 M/W/F on 7230-LSB in Central US (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2112 monitoring: despite my best plans, missed checking Tue Nov 16 at 2330 on WRMI 9955, which Richard Lemke caught last week. But Jeff White now confirms it has started at that new time and his schedule has been updated. Next: 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support. Thanks this week to Steve Zimmerman, Milwaukee WI for a generous check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9275, Nov 16 at 2059, still no sign of a signal from the new WMLK transmitter, which had been projected for end of October. So? Nothing later than this at: http://wmlkradio.net/2021/09/25/facebook-posts/ ``Cover for WMLK Radio 436 Greetings and welcome to the WMLK Radio website. It has been the purpose of WMLK to fulfill the prop {sic, cut off, --hecy etc.?} 3 weeks ago Today (10/27/2021) The Ampegon Engineer Simon, gave a two hour seminar on starting up the T-2300 Ampegon Transmitter to those that will be responsible for the Broadcasting duties of WMLK Radio. We were glad to realize how close to operational WMLK Radio is. In attendance was: T. E. Jonathan S Meyer, Deacon Nathaniel A Meyer, John Dalton, Deacon G. E. MacGavin (Taking the picture.) Photo 4 weeks ago Balun feed line complete from transmitter to antenna switch! 1 month ago Running the lines for the Glycol cooling system! 2 months ago How Our Health Care System Is Run Right Now articles.mercola.com Registered nurse Jodi O'Malley blows the whistle on how the federal government is addressing COVID jab injuries. Find out what she exposed here. 2 months ago Today (9/26/2021) an extremely large group of people visited the WMLK radio station! This was in anticipation of the future of the station and the previewing of WMLK operational time frame! Deacon Nathaniel Meyer was the audio guide explaining the various operating peripherals. Thank You each and everyone for your interest and support!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. RF 14, Nov 16 at 1658 UT, KERA-HD breaks thru with ``KERA KIDS`` full-screen ID on 13-1. I get 13-2 to PSIP as kids -- lower case, as another PBS station overdoes it with *two* channels for them during daytime. Rabbitears.info shows KERA also with 13-3 Create and 13-4 World Channel; did not get to those before fadeout. KETA OKC has its 2, 3 and 4 in different order: -2 World, -3 Create, -4 Kids. I was sitting on RF 14 as it looked liable to decode: would it be KOCY OKC LP? From 1630 I was getting lots of tropo-enhanced BAD signals, such as 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 21, 26; while some `local` OKC channels were not decoding, no doubt because of DX QRM, even really local Enid powerhouse K17JN-D. Two Tulsa marketers did come thru, RF 20 and RF 28. I was expecting KS instead of TX, since KHCC 90.1 was completely overriding KUCO when trying to hear `Stardate` at 1558: only barely by nulling R Kansas as much as possible by pointing the PL-880 rod toward KS. KERA and DFW Metroplex happen to be almost same direxion from here as OKC where the TV antenna is aimed. Rabbitears shows KERA`s 975 kW ERP direxional for the northern hemisphere from Cedar Hill antenna farm at SE corner of Dallas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0050 UT November 17

** CHINA. 9900, Nov 14 at 2254, checking too late for Cairo, rather Chinese echoing, S8-S6 with flutter, so CNR1 jamming of RTI Taiwan from 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 9630, Nov 14 at 2308, Chinese opera S9+20/30, per Aoki CRI Cantonese this hour only, from Jinhua 831 site. There is vocalizing so it`s not Firedragon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 6865, Nov 15 at 2316, JBA algo, S7-S6 with flutter, presumed CNR1 jammer on a known SOH frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15370, Sun Nov 14 at 2259, RHC in Spanish, not Esperanto, but maybe already finished from 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Nov 14 at 2301, RHC S9/+30 in French, but JBM with hum. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Something`s always wrong at RHC: 11850, Nov 14 at 2302, RHC S9+20 in Spanish, but suptorted, with JBA parasitic spur carriers plus and minus 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9900, Nov 15 at 2126, NO signal from R. Cairo English into UTwente. Maybe they got the message from monitors that last few days` attempts were fruitless due to abominable modulation. Sad (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6930 USB, Nov 14 at 2252, rock music at S9+20. HFU https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,89131.0.html has many logs but none later than 2229 of Outhouse Radio, relaying others, SSTV images. 6925-AM, Nov 14 at 2253, JBA talk in the shadow of 6930-USB; no logs on HFU until Pandemic Radio starting up at 0132 Nov 15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also UNIDENTIFIED ** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, Nov 14 at 0732, NO signal from DDP, 1000 watt NDB in San Juan / Dorado. I heard it several times last winter, but no luck so far now. Is it off the air? Still in dxinfocentre.com; and the RNA Signal List at classaxe.com as Luis Muñoz Marín international AP, last heard 2021-11-07, power could be 2 or 3 kW. But something changed for the worse? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Nov 15 at 2300, token English on Monday from REE, sufficient direct into portable DX-398 with shortwire. 10 minutes of news this time, followed by Amy Egan interview at 2310 with manager of Palace Hotel about the post-pandemic return of luxury travel; like, now already? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 14 at 2312, S8-S9 but JBM, sounds like YL talk, language not certain. Checking for VOT English but should be doing better than this, off? Also sked per Aoki is PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of ChiCom imperialist genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems, in Chinese. Also in the new B-21 EiBi as starting at 2310. However, JRX in Brasil was hearing VOT same date at 2348-2355. Possibly came on late? 5960, Nov 15 at 2259, no signal on the portable, but 2314 on the bigrig something JBA, China instead of Turkey? But but, via UTwente at 2333 tune-in, immediate VOT ID in English, S9/+15. So the TRT N American service just isn`t making it this far. Also some CCI presumably Urumqi. At 0000 Nov 16, Turkey off and CNR clearly uncovered with timesignal, Chinese anthem (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. ND beacon scans are disrupted by a local noise source which cuts on and off LW irregularly, as if a thermostat-controlled heater blower, certainly not from my house. 329 MCW kHz, Nov 15 at 0722 UT, PMV, 25 watt ND beacon from Plattsmouth NE. 325 MCW kHz, Nov 15 at 0724 UT, BV, 25 watt NDB from Batesville AR. Mixing with dash YLD, 1000 watts from Chapleau, Ontario, normally the only one heard here. 341 MCW kHz, Nov 15 at 0726 UT, DNI, 25 watt NDB from Sherman / Denison TX; as local EI Enid is still silent; nor OIN Oberlin KS which normally reigns 347 MCW kHz, Nov 15 at 0728 UT, AFK, 25 watt NDB from Nebraska City NE. 383 MCW kHz, Nov 15 at 0730 UT, LB, 25 watt NDB from Liberal KS, mixing with others, first copied maybe as LBO? Rapid repeats without much pause. Also CNP, 25 watts from Chappelle NE. 385 MCW kHz, Nov 15 at 0732 UT, HO, 200 watt NDB from HOt Springs AR; tuned to 383-USB mixing with LB and CNP. 389 MCW kHz, Nov 15 at 0733 UT, EN, 25 watt NDB from kENosha WI, new here 392 MCW kHz, Nov 15 at 0734 UT, FMZ, 25 watt NDB from Fairmont / Beklof NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2112 monitoring: confirmed Sunday November 14 from 2100 on IRRS SW via Italia AM, 918 kHz, Villa Estense, S9+10 into nearby Noale KiwiSDR. 2058 music, 2100 timepips audible underneath, from Spain? Egypt, Nigeria, China also on 918. Also confirmed Sun Nov 14 at 2330 on WRMIs: 5950 S9+30 and 9955 S9+20/30 into Knoxville SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday November 15 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, S9+5/20 into Missouri SDR. Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 15 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, only S3 into Missouri SDR and not making it to Manitoba. Also confirmed UT Mon Mov 15 from 0402 in Area 51 via WBCQ 6160-, S9 into Missouri SDR soon fading to S7, offset -55 Hz = 6159.945, LSB needed to lessen ACI from 6165 RHC. Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?][unconfirmed] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support. Thanks this week to Steve Zimmerman, Milwaukee WI for a generous check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7490), Nov 16 at 0030, WBCQ after semi-repeat of `UBMP`, ID, opens `Camp Constitution Radio` jingle and then another extraneous spot commercial, this time for General Insurance Agency in Nashville, and back to show. A different ad each week. I wonder if YouTube have something to do with this, inserting seemingly totally unrelated ads into playbax (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6925 AM, Nov 15 at 2315, JBA music S9-S7. unID pirate logs here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,89163.0.html 6925 also bears a Chilean pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 13605 USB, Nov 15 at 2322, 2-way in Spanish INTRUDERS, keeping frequency warm for R. Martí? No jamming either. Cambio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR UNIDENTIFIED. 17654 USB, Nov 15 at 2317, 2-way in Spanish INTRUDERS tho no broadcasters audible on entire band; cambio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0102 UT November 16

** BOTSWANA. 9775, Nov 14 at 0252, S9-S6 of open carrier. Must be VOA warming up for scheduled 0300-0500 English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9900-, Nov 13 at 2125, R. Cairo, S9+30 into UTwente but dead air except for some hum and possible traces of English modulation. AM Synch mode says ``not locked`` in red, yet reads out carrier at 9899.687; still the same at 2213. And similar results by other monitors (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 17800+, Nov 14 at 1517, Minitransat special still going 2 days after original finish, météo in French by OM, then YL in French with rankings deuxième, troisième, etc., etc. 17800-DRM, Nov 14 at 1722, YL again with lo-fi 8.08 kbps rankings in French, mixing in numbers in English, via Maryland SDR, SNR 21 dB, S9+5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2112 monitoring: confirmed Saturday November 13 at 2030 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+10 into nearby SDR, already 25 minutes into so started way early circa 2005. Also confirmed UT Sunday Nov 14 at 0030 on WRMI 5950, S9+25 into Knoxville SDR at one-hour-later time; also on separate System still at 0030 UT Sun Nov 14 on WRMI 7730, VG direct. Also confirmed UT Sun Nov 14 finally at 0505 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+12 into nearby SDR, about 17 minutes into so started late circa 0448. So there is no correlation between the two airings as to earliness/lateness. It all depends on variable-length ham shows in between. ZZZ thru 1330 UT Sunday Nov 14 for WOR via WMRI Europe via Channel 292, Germany on 9670. Did anyone hear it? Next: 2100 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW 2330 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0130 UT Monday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0230 UT Monday WRN webcast 0400vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?][unconfirmed] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support. Thanks this week to Steve Zimmerman, Milwaukee WI for a generous check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5950, UT Sun Nov 14 at 0100, WRMI with Texas Radio Shortwave carrying Europirate R. Jingle Bells, as we *just can`t wait* for Xmasmx. Was erroneously publicized for one hour earlier, which would have pre-empted `Wavescan` & WOR but they/we were still on. Another TRSW hour from 0200, Thanksgiving-themed. Too bad there is such a pileup of music shows at same 01 hour Saturday evenings, e.g. `TOUTA` on WTWW, `Encore` on WRMI 5850 & 7780, and `Mighty KBC` on Nauen. Supposedly also prime time for pirates but I don`t hear any in one quick scan of the 4+, 5+ and 7- MHz piratareas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Nov 14 at 0053, WTWW-2 starting `Theatre Organ Under The Arch`, so I switch immediately to $ tereo webcast. Another tribute to George Wright ``the greatest theater organist``. Or is it a repeat? Bob Heil says he has been working on this for some time, including early recordings of GW`s performances and voice. This one lasts 59 minutes until 0152 jarringly back into hard-sell Tedads and hamstuff (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5050, Nov 14 at 0056, WWRB weekend-only gospel huxters are still on 59m, another week into B21 season when 93m would be expected; and 0239 still going at S9+45 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7520, Nov 14 at 0249, VP S5-S3 hymn, // TOMBS on 7570, 7730 etc. 7520 is WWCR-4 now at 00-03. This transmitter on 5890/9980/7520 is 24/7 TOMBS except for Tue-Sat 03-05 other gospel huxters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9975, Nov 14 at 0253, KVOH with jazz at S9/+30. New sked http://www.voiceofhope.com/schedule/kvoh_program_grid.pdf shows Pat Conrad`s `Jazz Session` gets only this one hour per week, UT Sun 0200-0300; followed by 0300 `Wavescan` which also airs UT Tue. Total 9975 span is 02-07 except UT Mon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1130, Nov 14 at 1757 UT, still S9+20 of dead air from KLEY, Wellington KS. 250 watts, left on 24 hours despite night license for ONE WATT -- a joke in itself. Last time I checked was Oct 29, no doubt silent since and before. If they are keeping their 100.3 translator which I can`t hear, modulated as ``The Wave``, why is it too much trouble to mod the original AM, no one cares? BTW, I notice that MW club editors keeping up with station news have ignored my continuing reports about this strange situation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1924 UT November 14

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat Nov 13 at 1541, NO LRA36 signal into two Brasil Kiwi SDRs. Checked as soon as local power outage was rapidly fixed by OG&E after one hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 401-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0723 UT, NDB dash and YPO, 500 watts from Peawanuck, Ontario. 376-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0730, NDB dash and YAG, 40 watts from Fort Frances ON. Only two somewhat unusual but not new Canadians during bandscan above 375, see USA for more. Last log of YAG this year: ``376-MCW, Feb 17 at 0737 UT, dash and YAG is JBA, 40 watt NDB from Fort Frances, Ont. 1407 km = 874 stmi or 21.85 miles per watt`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 17800+, Nov 13 at 1541, S9-S7 music off-frequency, so Minitransat special broadcasts via TDF Issoudun from 1500, are still going past originally registered end-date of Nov 12. 17800-DRM, Nov 13 at 1707 via Maryland remote, French meteo by OM voice, S9/+10, SNR 22 dB. Label reads starting with 1 AAC (1000) meaning Service #1 of 4, not IAAC as I miswrote last time. By 1713 now it`s YL in English but very heavy French accent. 1747 still on but not decoding S5, and SNR of 5.9 dB. How much longer? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 800, Nov 13 at 0705, full ID from XEROK, 50 mil vatios, Ciudad Juárez, address, Grupo 7, etc., dominant on E-W longwire, an unusual situation vs KQCV, PJB and CKLW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEWFOUNDLAND [and non]. 2598-USB, Nov 13 at 0743 UT, RoboYL in English with gale warnings for Northern Grand Banks. Per DXinfocentre.com, first broadcast of the day on 2598 starts at 0737 from VCP-4, 3000 watts at Placentia. That`s 4:07 am NST. 2749-USB, Nov 13 at 0744, same RoboYL voice but unusually much weaker tho closer, VCO, 550 watts from Sydney NS, first broadcast of day starting at 0740 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 388 kHz, see USA beacon logs for one Okie, OK ** U S A. A quiet night with no Blitz storms across N America, so digging deep into the beacon band, Nov 13 at 0717 until 0732 UT when a local noise source cut on curtailing my bandscan below 376 kHz: 419-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0711 UT, NDB GB which is 25 watts from Great Bend KS. I was tuned to 417-USB. Not very far but first time heard. 412-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0713 UT, NDB CMY, 30 watts from Sparta / Fort McCoy WI. I was tuned to 410-USB. Last logged Jan 27, 2021. 408-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0715 UT, NDB JDM, 25 watts from Colby / Wheatfield KS. My previous log from 2020y bears repeating: ``408-MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0643 UT, JDM, 25-watt NDB at Colby - Wheatfield, Kansas. One wonders how a call with no connexion to the listed location came about? So I try searching on JDM Colby, finding ``Colby Howard Lands at JD Motorsports For Majority of 2020 `` about NASCAR - that`s a stretch! Further down are linx to JDM as NAVAID, but no call significance. Even further down, there is a JDM Enterprises, LLC, in Colby among 55 other places: https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ks/8804627 but what does it do?`` Do they have a private airstrip in Colby? 392-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0724 UT, NDB FMZ, 25 watts at Fairmont / Beklof NE. 388-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0725 UT, NDB OK, 25 watts at Okmulgee OK. I was tuned to 386-USB. 383-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0726 UT, NDB CNP, 25 watts at Chappell NE. It`s in SW NE on I-80 between Ogallala and Sidney near the NE corner of CO. 378-MCW kHz, Nov 13 at 0728 UT, random dits, occasional dahs or longer dash, as if a very out-of-order beacon. Like previous log: ``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 Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CANADA for two more this session ** U S A [and non].

Fixed: 7490.00, Nov 12 at 2228, WBCQ during `Behaviour Night`, notice that it`s almost ON-frequency! Someone must have nudged it...
