Sunday, October 02 2022

Logs
** BOLIVIA. 5952.469+, Oct 2 at 0100, has to be Radio Pio Doce on its
signature split, S9/S8 carrier but can`t make out any modulation.
First noted as big het upon 5950 WRMI, both via UTwente. Meshes with
this on the WOR iog a few hours before: ``Lucio Otavio Bobrowiec - Hi
all, On 5952 since 2158, that het which must be R. Pio XII but nothing
audible until 2248, 01/10. Was some weeks silent. 73 Lucio
Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15600, Oct 1 at 2219, music and talk eventually recognized
as Spanish: CRI to S America direct from Beijing site, 500 kW at 318
degrees, i.e. heading NW across Siberia, Europe, Atlantic, a long way,
but both short and long paths are extensive. SE over the Pacific would
avoid auroral zone absorption. Antipodes of Beijing is near Bahía
Blanca, Argentina. Rapid RTTY on the plus side, evitable by LSB tuning
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Too much! Oct 2 at 0131+ I find four pirates at once
on The band: 6923 USB, 6930 USB, 6955 USB and 6960 USB. I stay on the
first one for a while:

6923 USB, Oct 2 at 0131, pirate song S4/5/7 on peaks, also 0136. 0150
``Addams Family``, seems to be Hallowe`en theme. Gives us a break,
until the end of Oct? 0156 ``They`re Coming to Take Me Away``. These
suggest it`s Sycko Radio without any explicit ID copied:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,102600.0.html

6930 USB, Oct 2 at 0132, pirate music at S4/S6. Per these, WWWW:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,102599.0.html

6955 USB, Oct 2 at 0133, rock music, -something- Radio ID, S3/S6. Too
many of these are too `produced` rather than pronounced clearly with
no background/mixing, etc. Three pages say Radio Free Whatever:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,102588.0.html

6960 USB, Oct 2 at 0135, rock, S4/S6. These say Lucky 13 Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,102597.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Oct 1 at 2035 UT, SW, ND beacon at
StillWater. Last time heard was June 8 in daily chex, day and/or
night. Has had protracted absences before. No telling whether back to
stay now for a while. Classaxe says 50 watts, dxinfocentre says 25.
It`s JBA, much weaker than used to be, so maybe even less now (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5 AM, Oct 1 at 2038, Enid CB pirate again relaying
95.7 KXLS, very strong but now with big het from a spoiler carrier
equally strong on 27185.8. Pick one or the other by LSB/USB tuning.
Note: a number of other random times checked, this has not been on
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 15520, Oct 1 at 2048, after 6 days of dead air, REE finally
manages to modulate, just in time for a stupid ballgame; // stronger
17855 direct, Something`s no longer nonsensical at Noblejas (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWITZERLAND. 18142 USB, Oct 1 at 2045, HB9TWY contact with a VA3.
At first I thought he said HP9TWY as in Panamá, accent not Spanish,
but we know a lot of expats are radicated there; then mentions local
time at UT+2. QRZ.com with a few landscape, antenna photos:

HB9TWY Switzerland flag Switzerland
``Yannick (YAN) Matthey
levant 9
LA SARRAZ 1315
Switzerland
QSL: No qsl`` -- imagine that! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830.003, Oct 1 at 2216, VOT English, S9+15 direct but very
undermodulated. 2235 S9+5/15 also into UTwente, undermodulated. Stays
on with 2300 timesignal and opening German, and still on at end of
German 2351 with song, now S9+55, when max volume on SDR plus locally
are not too much to overload. Chopped off air at 2352.8* depriving us
of another extra hour in Brazilian, shux. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15730, Sat Oct 1 at 2049, VOA Grimesland in Hausa, S9+20;
also on 15185 with English lesson, S9+35. I wondered whether remnants
of Ian would blow any VOA or OCB off, but did not get them checked
during max winds there. Obviously OK now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2158 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
October 1 at 1929, right on time, at WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO,
S9+15 into nearby Warrenton KiwiSDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday October 2 at 0322 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM again,
S9+18 same but noisy, about 11 minutes into so started circa 0311.

Note that the next chance when WRMI hopes to be back on air would not
be until UT Tuesday 0030 on 9395. Otherwise, scheduled, next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy

** U S A. The latest from Jeff White: Sent: Saturday, October 1, 2022,
10:25:14 PM GMT+1

Friends, Colleagues and Clients: Our frequency of 5950 kHz has just
come back on the air at 2100 UT Saturday. We will keep this frequency
on the air 24 hours per day until we get more transmitters on the air.
It has been a slow process of repairing the transmission lines in the
muddy swampland. We do not expect to have any other frequencies on the
air until Monday. Probably the first ones to go back on the air Monday
will be 9395 and 9455 kHz if all goes well. Then we will gradually
bring all of the others back as the transmission lines are repaired.
Our Internet stream has continued to operate during and after the
storm, mostly with 9955 kHz programming. Thanks for your patience and
understanding, and we will keep you updated.

** U S A. 5950, Oct 2 at 0100, Texas R Shortwave on the only WRMI
frequency restarted yet. I`m trying it on the UTwente SDR where it`s
amazingly strong, S9/+10, for an azimuth of 355, about 50 degrees away
from head-on to Europe. Wonder if askew or really on same antenna as
before the storm. Also with het from 5952+ which has to be BOLIVIA,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.93, Oct 2 at 0033, WBCQ with rock music show, `Cruisin`
the Decades`, S9/+10 into Georgia SDR. NOT on the website program
schedule, rather `AAAWWW`, which I was going to check shortly for the
part I missed last night as Allan was calling out to me. Par for the
course with never-up-to-date sked. If it can be believed, next chance
for `AAAWWW` should be Monday after 2200. This `Cruisin`` is nowhere
on the quadrifrequency sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST updated Oct 1:

Hi Glenn. My latest Hitlist update.
https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm

1) Korea, South - KBS: Added link to the Listen Again web page.
2) New Zealand - RNZ: Updated UTC offset notations for start of DST
The next update is scheduled for late October. Best wishes and 73,
Alan Roe

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Oct 1 at 1435, no signal yet from
LRA36 for Saturday repeat of Wednesday; favorite Argentine SDR is
offline so I have to try others in Argentina, Uruguay, later Brasil.
*1449.8 cuts on with songs, S6 into Uruguay, S3 into Argentina. By
1504 the Esperanza themesong is playing. 1507.5 intro talk; 1508
intermittent music QRM off-frequency, never on for long enough to
nail it on 15470, 15475 or 15480, probably local SDR mixture or
overload with ham emissions. 1509.5 song; 1514 chat; 1522 song; 1530
YLs chatting with OM guest, keeps on going. Really too weak to follow.
After 1605 I`m mainly listening to `The Score` on KUCO, but weak S3/S4
JBA LRA36 still detectable, 1611, 1619, 1631, 1638; surprise fades up
about 1645 to S6/S7 into Montevideo; still on past 1700, unusual: 1704
song now peaking at S9+5, last detected at 1711. Just as well, as
various SDRs have been timing out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 382 MCW kHz, Oct 1 at 0352 UT, dash and YPL, 1000 watt NDB
at Pickle Lake ON. Nice to hear again as I still have a neighborhood
noise peak roughly 360-420 kHz. Last logged Sept 5, 2021.

351 MCW kHz, Oct 1 at 0353 UT, dash and YKQ, 500 watt NDB at
Waskaganish/Fort Rupert QC. I was tuned to 352 USB, somewhat avoiding
350 RG OKC. Last logged January 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. [WOR] Cross-cultural opera from China --- Now
underway in the traditional Saturday afternoon opera time, in Met
off-season. As heard here via KUCO FM, WFMT network is presenting a
Beijing produxion of Lehár`s The Merry Widow -- beautiful tunes even
if you think you don`t like opera. The arias, or some of them, are in
German, not Hungarian or English; while spoken passages are in
Mandarin, like at 1805 UT in the 2nd act. It would be too difficult to
translate to Chinese and still fit the metre. All but one cast members
have Chinese names. This just switched to German. It seems the NCPA -
National Center for Performing Arts, is dedicated to introducing
Western culture to China. Good for them! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. Re ``"Immaculate Concussion: The Truth Behind
Havana Syndrome", repeat time on CNN changed from 0100 UT Oct 1 to
0300, per TitanTV listings: O yeah? Don`t blame TTV. CNN Breaking
News, guess what, bumped it. Another lesson that if you want to see
something on CNN, better catch its original airing, as no telling what
will happen to the scheduled repeats (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 1 at 0642 UT, JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati, stronger than usual so can almost imagine some modulation
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 1 at 0630, VON is off, but I discover VANUATU
is back on 7260, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. Tnx to Randy Stewart, re my latest REE log for Sept 30:

``Justin Coe REE interview with bass-baritone --- It's Thomas
QUASTHOFF. Born 1959 in Germany; a thalidomide baby, he had severe
birth defects with malformed arms and legs. Stands 4 ft 5 in tall.
Mostly known for lieder and oratorio work but has sung major roles in
a few staged opera productions, e.g. Amfortas in "Parsifal" at Vienna
State Opera. Before singing career took off mid-1980s he was an
announcer at NDR Hamburg. In recent years he's gotten into jazz
singing. Speaking of announcing, I'm finally going back to KSMU
part-time starting next Wednesday. 73, Randy`` Stewart, Springfield MO
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2158 monitoring: confirmed now the
first SW airing anywhere, UT Saturday October 1 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio
Angela, 5130-, S9+10/20 direct.

Also confirmed first WRN airing, Saturday October 1 at 1600 on North
America webcast. Next:

1930vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM
0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW
0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0430]

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. The latest from Jeff White, WRMI on FB as of 1740 UT Oct 1:
``Hurricane damage repair is going full speed here in Okeechobee
today. Engineers Pat Travers and Don Frish are in the field repairing
the transmission lines, and we hope to have the first transmitter back
on the air by the end of today if all goes well. The first frequencies
to come back will probably be 5950, 9395 and 9455 kHz. In the photo
here you can see the extensive damage to one of the antenna towers
that snapped in the middle and buried itself into the ground.`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 1 at 0630, VON check finding it missing from
7255, but now a signal here where there has not been any at this hour.
I bet it`s R Vanuatu finally reactivated. Talk does have that Bislama
cadence, S3/S4 past 0637 and no signal on 14520 = x2. At 0648 ``island
music``. I really don`t want to stay awake any longer but manage to do
so until this cuts off at 0700, and by 0705 I find signals back on
3945 harmonix: 7890 = x2, JBA carrier, and 11835 = x3 with music at
S7. So it`s back to ``normal`` since it disappeared on Sept 16 -
except the QSY time is one hour later instead of 0600.

I figured Ron Howard would also catch this: ``Oct 1 observations:
Radio Vanuatu (news & sports 0658-0714 UT) returned to their normal
frequencies: 0620-0659* UT on 7260 and *0659 on harmonics 11835 //
7890, with 3945 being unusable.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 1 from 0339
UT, when the continent is still in darkness: 531, 549, 585, 612,
639-2, 657, 684, 693, 747, 774-2, 855-2, 882, 891, 909, 999, 1044,
1098, 1107-3, 1125, 1296, 1305. Usual technique, USB upstepping by 9
kHz tuned to frequencies 1 kHz below, to detect any 1 kHz hets. This
time I reverse the process on LSB 1 kHz above, in case some be
obscured by NAm even channels, but only get one more which is usually
easier: 621. -2 means at least 2 carriers beating; -3 at least three.
Many of these can be correlated with likely Algeria, Spain, UK, etc.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5910 USB, Oct 1 at 0626, JBA one side of 2-way contacts,
not Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7680, Oct 1 at 0632, JBA carrier like last night, but
can`t make out any modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

COLOMBIA. 6017.019, Sept 30 at 0146, VP S5/S6 with talk, no doubt
Organización Radial El Prado, Palermo, Magdalena, on signature split
frequency, presumably unlicensed; gone by 0620 recheck (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

CUBA. 11850, Sept 30 at 0141, a few RHC frequencies are back on
after widespread Ian-caused power outages. Back to ``normal``, this
one is S9+10/20 of just-barely-modulated Spanish; also 9650, S9+10
merely undermodulated. And 6000 at 0145, S9+20/30 in English with
sufficient modulation. Not found on any other frequency normally on
air at this time. Per EiBi, 6000 & 11850 are Quivicán site, 9650
Bejucal; so major Bauta plant still dark (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, Sept 30 at 0627, all
these transmitters are off, but:

9805 & 9565, Sept 30 at 0631, pulse jammings against nothings are
drawing powers from somewheres (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Survey of RHC frequencies, Sept 30 at 2340, finds only: 6000
S7/S9 JBM Spanish? 9650 S9/+10 better in Spanish; there are no others
on those bands, nor on the 5s, 11s, 13s or 15s. But 13650 CRI music
relay is on, S9+20 JBM and at 2344 the NHK IS audible under in this
protracted collision. 9535 with something in Chinese, not Cuba.

Another check at 0023: 12000 S9 JBM English = 2 x 6000. At 0026, 11850
is now on at S9+10/20 but as always JBM Spanish. Somethings` always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
TURKEY. 9830, Sept 30 at 2157 and later chex to 2230, NO signal
from VOT English for N America into UTwente. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

U S A. 3265+, Sept 30 at 2358, this WBCQ is on but JBA with IS & ID
loop, probably // 5130- where that is much better.

At 0032 I measure each frequency on the Maryland SDR: 3265.123 S8/S9;
5129.984 S9; 6159.937 S9; 7489.930 S9+20. 0034 datestamp as 30 Sept
YOOLF 2022. Thinx COVID was really man-made in China and the truth of
who did it will eventually come out. 0041 quadricasting. 0042 don`t
vote for those evil Democrats.

Tuned away for a while; when I come back at 0049, he`s talking to
*me*, but I missed the first part. He loves me, but apparently peeved
that I may guess what`s happening, instead of phoning him to find out.
About the 9330 outages: the Ampegon antenna was only 95% complete when
that company went bankrupt, and due to COVID they have not been able
to get anyone over who knows how to fix it, so WBCQ crew continues to
work on it in the daytime, which is why 9330 is often off the air
Mon-Sat from around 8/9 am to 4/6 pm EDT. As for transmitter,
Continental makes great ones, but this 500 kW one is a nightmare
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
