** ALASKA. 9760 & 9800, Oct 9 at 1500, KNLS IS on both with equivalent
fair sigs, but two different languages scheduled, Chinese and Russian,
respectively. SOP to run IS first minute of each hour before
programming from :01 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat Oct 9 at 1510+, no signal from
LRA36 checked on three different Brazilian SDRs (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, Oct 9 at 1459 big open carrier and off*, must be RHC as
scheduled 1100-1500 & 2100-0500 in Aoki which this time has correct
RHC info while EiBi misses 9710 completely, which has been running
most or all of A-season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EUROPE. Correxion: starts with RPI of course, not typo RFI; fixed:

6330-CW, Oct 8 at 2013, CW beacon from R. Piraña Internacional;
repeating message starts with RPI but I don`t copy the rest. I wonder
if he spells out Piraña with the special character --.-- for ñ? Well
audible via UTwente with some deep fading. Jorge R. García tells the
WOR iog that it`s 8 watts from northern Europe, active today 1900-0700
UT and also same hours this Saturday into UT Sunday (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13840, Sat Oct 9 at 0559, RNZ/I/P still on here and
keeps going past 0600 timesignal and at final check 0617 music at
S9-S5. So much for my plug of `Saturday Night` request show from 0608,
which has been on VG 11725, supposed to start at 0459 or is it 0559,
as current sked still shows two *other* frequencies after 0559!

``02:59-04:58 13840 Pacific Daily
04:59 - 06:58 11725 Pacific Daily
05:59 - 12:58 7245 Pacific Sat Sun``

Unknown when if ever it switched to 11725; or skipped it completely
for 7245 sometime? Asleep as the switch? Or another too-frequent
skedchange, as summer oncomes, trying to cope with OWF to primary
Pacific targets, not us? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 5950, Sat Oct 9 at 2200-2300, `Encore` classical
music via WRMI, VG via remote in southeastern US -- a regular listen I
don`t always log, this first airing to N America, and there will be
two more tonight and Sunday night. Two playlists are available; look

** SPAIN. 11670, Fri Oct 8 at 2229, REE wrapping up token English with
Justin Coe voice recognizable but VP unreadable --- and this is the
best, being lowest, as the MUF to deep N America has plunged, despite
being on the worst azimuth south toward Africa; while 11940, 15520 and
supposedly for us 17855 are even worse, JBA to JBA carriers. We

918 kHz, S9, as always interrupting some talk show, about NZ? Pause.

Also confirmed Fri Oct 8 at 1816 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria. As usual,
S9+5/10 open carrier runs past 1815, modulation does not cut on WOR

** U S A. 5850, Fri Oct 8 at 1045 I happen to awaken so confirm that
WRMI is on this air, `Frecuencia al Día` segment in strangely-accented
Spanish. So maybe WOR will be back on Wednesday at this hour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9975, Oct 8 at 0226, JBA carrier from presumed
KVOH which normally blasts into here. Then I check other 31m band
signals and find other USAs are also VP; or JBACs even from WRMI 9955,
9455, 9395; maybe 9330 WBCQ.

But Eurosigs much further away are VG: 9420 Greece S9/+10; 9490
República/France S9/+10 and no jamming audible. Close-in MUF must be
sharp between 8 and 9 MHz; because N Americans below 8 remain VG: 7850

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Oct 9 at 0000, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`,
again very overmodulated/distorted. ``Hide the silverware``, hmmm, is
this a rerun? A & A are yelling over each other with usual
anti-American rants. I switch the Maryland SDR to this from the real
pirate band, where sound is a bit less distorted but also with
RHC-like humbuzz. They start talking about spotted dicks, drinking
teguila, on 7490, 6160 and 4790 preferably in meaningless
``kilocycles`` instead of kHz; what`s wrong with Canada? I can`t take
another hour of this broadcasting, distorted in more ways than one. So
here`s John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160 and 7490. Allan half
undressed in a hot studio in a warm Fla. Allan and Angela bantering
back and forth about several subjects which sort of morphed into some
blather about "community" and how the definition has changed over the
years and how Covid accelerated the change. A mention of the stolen
election by Angela. Even some talk of worldwide shortages of things
and some China bashing.

Allan announced that the superstation was up and running well but
before he could finish that there was a phone call at 0031 from Mr.
Mike to talk about the upcoming Nearfest next weekend. Allan then
reads an article from Radio World about shortwave tech that I think
he's read before.

Reading of emails at 0055. Closing prayer at 0058. It was mentioned
that they'd had many small problems with the new transmitter since
replacing the big tube and was implied that one of the repairmen was
still at the station tinkering with things. Off the air at 0100. John,
Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Stephen Luce, Houston TX, replies to my 1310 KZIP log:

``Glenn, about KZIP: Yes the transmitter tower is right next to I-40
just east of Hope Road, and easy to see when driving by. Built in
1978, the tower is also used by what is now KPRF 98.7 which originally
signed on that year. Both the AM and FM were co-owned in the late 70's
when 1310 was a Country Music station, and 98.7 was Album Rock KYTX (I
lived in Amarillo at the time and recall hearing the original
transmitter tests for 98.7 during the early morning hours while
driving to work.) KZIP was sold around 1981 flipping to a Spanish
language format, while 98.7 has had several owners, call signs, and
formats over the years.

Only things even vaguely resembling a valley in the Amarillo area
would be either Palo Duro Canyon or Lake Meredith, unlikely origins of
the ownership name. The Texas Panhandle is not completely flat, if you
take the time to explore it. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` Yes, Palo
Duro is quite scenic, a minature Grand (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
