** ARMENIA. 13690, Oct 28 at 1414, TWR IS, 1415 opening some language,
mentions Afghanistan, S7/S9+10 with flutter, pretty good next to 13700
Cuba. It`s TWR ``India`` in Hindi M-F (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 13954.5-USB, Oct 28 at 1418, frenetic radio-chex
by multiple ham-like contesters, calls heard or fonetikaly mentioned
including: CA04, CA67, LV127, CA262, CA302, US90, AF103. Encountered
by chance but one of multiple frequencies in use during Exercise Noble
Skywave, sponsored by Canadian Forces; see http://www.nobleskywave.ca
which explains:

`` About Noble Skywave --- Since 2013, the Canadian Communications and
Electronics branch has brought hundreds of teams from dozens of
Nations together to test, strengthen expertise and compete in a
friendly atmosphere to what is now known as the most Prestigious
military led HF competition in the world: Noble Skywave. Noble Skywave
acquired its “letters of nobility” through highly skilled and proud
participating teams which are either HAM/CFARS/MARS or Military Radio
Operators around the globe. As the Leading Nation for this event, the
Canadian Armed Forces are committed to provide the best possible
training experience to all participants and is looking forward again
this year to crown the best HF Radio Operators in the world.``

Apparently it`s a free-for-all to rack up as many contacts as
possible. I find locations of a couple them on their map:
CA262 in Ontario just SE of Lake Huron near Barrie;
CA302 in Regina SK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2110)

** U S A. 13563.5-CW, Oct 28 at 1412, HIFER beacon YSO is JBA from
Yellow Springs, Ohio; even weaker something on 13565-CW, probably
K6FRC, Patterson, California (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4112.5-USB, Oct 28 at 0615, Spanish 2-way mentions Bahía
de Campeche at least twice; maybe legit marine comms (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5200, Oct 28 until 0611*, S9/+10 open carrier, strong
enough to be a broadcaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHILE. 18155-USB, Oct 26 at 1455, CE1CR calling CQDX 17 and working
US stations; tho fonetik, heavy accent made copy uncertain, but
probably this per QRZ.com

CE1CR Chile flag Chile
CONTEST CALLSIGN (Operator CE1WBY)
CARLOS ROJAS
P.O.BOX 606 - IQUIQUE CITY
Chile (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. Oct 26 at 2301-2310, many signals correlating with China,
mostly JBA in Chinese, or JBA carriers; WOOB ones most likely jammers
against Sound of Hope:

9830 at 2301, checking whether VOT bonuses an extra German hour after
English, JBA carrier if LSB-tuned to avoid RTTY on USB. But CNR1
Beijing 572 site is scheduled here 2025-0100. Checking Aoki/NDXC.

17820, 17595, JBA maybe Chinese at a time 16m otherwise dead. 17595 is
CNR1 but nothing listed at 2302 on 17820.

Tuning only WOOB areas between 16300 and 12500, Skipping a number of
suspicious 19 and 22 mb inband signals, to: 15100 S3-S5; 14920, 16100;
13920 Chinese S3, 13530 Chinese S3-4, 13160 JBA, 13130, 13020, 12880,
12500 JBA carriers.

12819.85 approx., Oct 26 at 2312, one offset JBA carrier smax of Sound
of Hope itself without jamming, yet unlikely with the known high-power
jammers so weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15730, Oct 26 at 2303, RHC Kriyol S9 but extremely distorted.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 9705, re my Furusato no Kaze log, Ron Howard replies:
``Glenn - Per Hiroshi, it would seem you heard "Doremi No Uta" (DO -
RE - MI). Tree of the Forest Children's Choir -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNR8-ONY1mA .
Ron, California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Oct 26 tune-in at 1516 to Kashmir Civitas,
via IRRS via ROMANIA, S9+25/30 into UTwente in impassioned Urdu speech
with some English terms, ``occupying forces``, ``super-charged``, with
crowd response, also partly understrumming; 1524 cut to studio talk
with strum; 1529* cut off during talk, no IS. Tuesday-only
broadcast.

HFCC shows from next week in B-21, shifts one UT hour later to 1600
Tuesdays only on 15170, 300 kW, 79 degrees from ``Milano``. As Europe
will go off DST, but that should be irrelevant in target. I hope the
Kashmiri be prepared for the change (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN. 7206.002, Oct 26 at 0452, Arabish talk, S8-S9 somewhat
undermodulated, 0455 HOA music past 0500+, into UTwente. Sudan Radio,
the only active SW frequency from here, now under control of the
military coup. Checked direct at 0621, JBA carrier.

Nominal 7205 of course, but Manuel Mendez had it a sesquiyear ago on
7206: May 17 at 0505*-*0525. And hardly an accidental variation, maybe
to placate IARU ham intruder complaints, hi. They had blasted France
for broadcasting on 7205, sideband below 7200.000.

Sudan had an external service, same transmitter? at 1630-1900 with
English at 1715, on 9505, but believed inactive for some time.

[non] Might also be of interest to monitor target broadcaster Radio
Dabanga, A-21 scheduled: 0429-0457 7315 Vatican, 11650 Madagascar;
1529-1627 11640 Bulgaria, 15550 Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 414-MCW kHz, Oct 26 at 0618 UT, one unusual ND beacon is
ATS, which is 25 watts from ArTeSia NM; I was tuned to 412-USB. Mixed
with another weaker unID. Last logged Nov 24 and Oct 6, 2020 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UZBEKISTAN. 5829.90, Oct 26 at 1632, JBA signal into Kuwait SDR,
checking out a yesterday report of something on ``5829``. Typical
Tashkent off-frequency but just reported by Alan Holder:

``Confirmed October 26, 1600 UT. 5830 carrying the same audio as Iran
International TV live streaming, although radio is about 2 seconds
behind. Heard with excellent reception on the Kuwait KiwiSDR. Alan
Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.``

We were checking out a previous report from Brasil at 0250 of
something on ``5829``. After that I could only hear WTWW 5830.
Wolfgang Bueschel also reported:

``UZBEKISTAN, 5829.938 kHz exact measured at 1700 UT, likely via
transmitting stn of RRTM Telecom Tashkent Uzbekistan bcast center,
Iran International TV news program in Persian, read by female
presenter, S=9+5dB backlobe into southern Germany Perseus SDR unit``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0028 UT October 27

** JAPAN [non]. 9705, Mon Oct 25 at 1440, S6-S9 kid chorus of ``Doe, a
Deer, a Female Deer`` seemingly in English, so what`s this? Furusato
no Kaze, clandestine for N Korea via TAIWAN site. Then 1443
announcement in Japanese and another song; was this a language lesson,
and why? ``Sound of Music`` relates to DPRK how? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Oct 25 at 2200, token English from REE is best
here, S7-S5 but deeper fades to S3; 15520 JBA, 11940 no signal surely
off, 11670 JBA carrier. Amy first corrects a phone number for voice
mail she gave last week but only utters it once and could not copy;
not that I would ever use it. Email is english@rtve.es - less than 2
minutes of news mainly Sudan coup; 2202 feature interviewing a
non-Spanish flamenco guitarist who participated in the soundtrack for
the new James Bond film, and could not catch his name (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 25 at 2210, fairly good VOT signal S9+10/20,
different OM voice than usual ending `Review of the Turkish Press`
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2109 monitoring. we were out
getting vaccine booster, so could not check Sun Oct 24 at 2000 on IRRS
via 918 kHz.

Confirmed Sun Oct 24 at 2230 on WRMIs: 5950 S9+15, 9955 S8 both into
Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 25 at 0030 on WRMIs: 7730 S9+10/15 into
Missouri SDR; much louder than 9455 into same yet S9+12. 9395, S7 into
Maryland.

Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 25 at 0116, the 0100 on Global Community
Radio webcast, supposedly relayed by some LP FM stations.

Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 25 at 0130 on WRN North America webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon Oct 25 at 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160-, JBA
into MD & MO SDRs, offset -50 Hz = 6159.950, and with ACI de RHC 6165
requiring LSB tuning. But by 0322, surged to S9/+12 into MD, still
ACI. Next, not until Wednesday:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A. 6160-, Oct 25 at 0621, WBCQ with rock music, presumably
extension of Area 51 feed, rather than TOMBS. And 4790 is S9+10 with
protracted dead air instead of TOMBS, vs CODAR swirshes. Simul on
WRMIs, TOMBS with long pauses between outbursts at first seeming dead
air, but apparently such on original recording (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 4840, UT Mon Oct 25 at 0623, WWCR-3 with Old Time Radio
comedy, sounded like some Jack Benny, and an Alice character, but 0629
closing as having been `Classic Radio Theatre` with Phil Harris &
Alice Faye show of April 22, 1950, from network GCN, which otherwise
flushes far-right crap. Own sked dated Oct 1 shows TOMBS is supposed
to be on now. C.R.T. does not appear at *any* time on any of the four
WWCR schedules. Something`s always wacky at WWCR. TOMBS is still
running on 3215, WWCR-1, whew! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search Oct 26 at 0132-0138
UT: 531, 549, 585, 612, 621, *684(2), 693, 711, 729, 774(2), 819, 837,

1215, 1305(2), 1413 kHz. *strongest, probably Spain as many of the
rest; (2) at least two carriers beating (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
