** CANADA. Oct 5 at 0621+ UT, finally few storms in CONUS so noise level low enough to reuncover some ND beacons not heard for months:
335-MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0623 UT, dash and YLD, 1000 watts from Chapleau, Ontario. 284-MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0627 UT, dash and QD, 500 watts from The Pas MB. 269-MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0628 UT, dash and UDE, 50 watts from Delta MB. 250-MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0635 UT, dash and FO, 1600 watts from Flin FlOn MB. 223-MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0639 UT, dash and YYW. This is missing from dxinfocentre.com, not on any frequency, probably ``decommissioned``. I have heard it before, many times last winter, finally on Feb 5: it`s 1000 watts from Armstrong in remote NW Ontario. But classaxe.com RNA Signals List shows it still logged as recently at 2021-10-02, but never in OK, and power of only 100 watts. 212-MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0640, dash and YGX, 50 watts from Gillam MB. Last logged Dec 14 with some info about Gillam. More this session at USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11850, Oct 5 at 0135, RHC Spanish modulation is suppressed/distorted = suptorted to the level of JBM = just barely modulated, S9+20/30 going to waste. SAWA = Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Oct 5 at 2315, RHC Spanish is S9+10/20 with humbuzz like often infesting 6060 later, probably same transmitter. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13650, Oct 5 at 2320, CRI music only instead of Portuguese relay is S9+10 but overmodulated & distorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Oct 5 at 0621+ UT, finally few storms in CONUS so noise level low enough to reuncover some ND beacons not heard for months: 356-MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0621 UT, ODX, 25 watts from Ord, Nebraska 341-MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0623 UT, OIN, 25 watts from Oberlin KS: yes, Enid local EI is still silent. 257-MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0630 UT, JYR, 25 watts from York, NE 257-MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0632 UT, FWC, 25 watts from Fairfield/Wayne County, Illinois. I was tuned to 255-USB, where SW Stillwater OK is still silent. 251-MCW kHz, Oct 5 at 0634 UT, AM, 100 watts from Amarillo TX. More from same session: CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2106 monitoring; next: 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 9455 to WNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 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 Joe Caberlin, Ontario for a US$ contribution 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. 9330, Oct 5 at 1456 & 2313 chex, still no signal from WLCR/WBCQ. Has Allan explained anything about this by disgraced twit? Of course not; almost all of them are pro-motional, lastly for AAAWWW on Oct 1. How about the WLC website? Of course not! The latest ``news`` there is dated 2019 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1310 kHz, Oct 6 at 0052 UT, Spanish YL praying openly and fervently, as if God couldn`t read her mind, loops W/E; by ToH faded into jumble, something else IDing in English. There are several SS mostly E and W coast, but the nearby obvious SS:REL hit is KZIP Amarillo TX, 1000/88 watts non-direxional, Radio Vida, per new NRC AM Log [which I highly recommend; see https://nationalradioclub.org/catalog/books/books.html for ordering info]. Official FCC sunset for KZIP in October was 0015 UT, so I had it with 88 watts? November: 2345 UT. As so often, radio-locator.com info is outdated as ``Radio Caliente``. FCC shows licensee is Christian Ministries of the Valley, Inc. What valley? Not AMA. Coverage map at r-l shows site is slightly due west of Amarillo; probably visible along I-40 near Cadillac Ranch (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 5 at 0150-0157 UT: 531, 558(2), 576, 585(2), 612, 621, 639, 657, 684(2), *693, 738, 765, 774(2), 837(2), 882(2), 909, 963, 981, 999, 1053, *1089, 1098(2), 1107, 1116, 1125(3), 1134, 1152, *1215, 1278, 1296, 1413, 1512, 1575 kHz. *strongest probably UK; (2) at least two carriers beating at widely varying rates; (3) more than two (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 13815, Oct 5 at 2321, surprised to find a VG S9 signal direct to here with ME music, Arabic W&M chat, brief Qur`an, chanting for several minutes could be secular; 2333 ``Idha`at ---`` which would be an ID but could not copy it. Starting to fade down. Recheck Oct 6 at 0022, no signal to remotes in Europe, E N America, N S America. Only 13815 entry in EiBi, Aoki and HFCC is 1800-1900, Algeria via France in Arabic and French. Of course that is normally completely off the air before 2300. What is it?? Sounds like a major station (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0327 UT October 6

** CUBA. 13740, Oct 4 at 1434, RHC Spanish overmodulated & distorted, splashing about 12 kHz above and below. // 13700 is better and still spurless. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Some mild tropo over OK & KS October 4 morning 1516-1530+ UT, besides several more BAD signals on RF 11, 10, 8: RF 14, KOCY DTV, virtual PSIP as 48-3. Why not 48-1? My first confirmation of this, while KOCY OKC with Estrella TV continues as part of the RF 29 KTUZ cluster along with two other supposedly competing Spanish networx, each with totally different virtual channels. W9WI.com lists only two different CPs for this -LP on 14, 15 kW and 7.5 kW. RF 20, no IDs on the PSIP, but Broken Arrow ad = Tulsa suburb. Otherwise displays as KQCW-HD 19-1. RF 36 shows as DTV 17-5 but no call! Got to be KDOR-TV Bartlesville, the TBN station, but in W9WI.com lists with only 4 virtual 17s and their fifth sub supposedly being 18.5 with Positiv. Did not find what program source is really on this. One megawatt. RF 34, 41-1 KMYT-TV. 812.5 kW from Tulsa with of course MyTV on main. RF 28, 44-1 ION. KTPX-TV, 1 megawatt, CoL Okmulgee = Tulsa market. Six channels, four of which are shoppers, 44-3 = IONPlus; two of the others are not 44+ virtually. RF 22, 22-1 KTOU-LD, 15 kW from OKC. Has an APP for only 9.8 kW, unknown location. Invisible here without tropo. RF 12, 12-3 but then leads to 33-3 Antenna. Confusing situation. The RF 12 in OK is KGEB ``53`` but not listed with Antenna network. Must really be KSCW-DT, Wichita KS, which is only 15 kW, but in W9WI.com by channel its virtual channels are ``36.`` not 33! A mistake, or out-of-date info? The other subs match up: 33-4 Start TV, 33-2 Decades, 33-1 KSCW-DT in local news, and weather with 12 logo in UL corner of screen. W9WI.com by state does show virtual 33 not 36. But there is *another* KSCW-DT on RF 12 with 66.4 kW AND virtual 12. Callsign of both KSCW-DT, but RF 33 is licensed as an LD, while RF 12 is LIC as DT. Is one of them really in Hutch, the other in Wich? NO, same geo coords for both in W9WI.oom. Again the only RF channel I am really getting is 12. 33 would be blocked by KOCB ``34`` OKC, and I already had something else as above on RF 36! CBS for Wichita market was originally KTVH ch A12 Hutchinson, but its successor KWCH Hutchinson is now W9WI.com-listed both RF and virtual as channel 19 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** U S A. 7489.90 approx., Oct 4 at 0610, surprised to find WBCQ on air at this late hour, not even for TOMBS as on 6160- & 4790-, but S9/+10 of rock music, 0611 Radio Newyork International singing ID, 0616 Allen Sane ID, taking a ``live`` call. Maybe some kind of test. Wolfgang Bueschel, Germany, logged this shortly later, via a remote? not specified: ``7489.904 poor string, empty, likely EXCITER string outlet only, at 0629 UT. 73 wb df5sx wwdxc topnews``. It was certainly full-power when I heard it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Oct 4 at 0139 check, no signal from WLCR/WBCQ; after an absence, I had heard strong open carrier only 7 hours earlier, and after that several others reported same intermittently; meanwhile the WLCR relays via other sites were also absent. Still no 9330 signal at 2348 October 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7490-, Oct 4 at 2300, WBCQ with first half of `UBMP` I missed 25 hours earlier, this time good music from Brunei. Who remembers like I do, without looking it up, the last/only SW frequency from there? Maryland remote SAS shows minus 95 Hz = 7489.905 at S9+10/20. I am listening via that since own webcast is still distorted into the red. Chopped off at 2330 for ID and ad for St. Jude`s, before `Camp Constitution Radio` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UZBEKISTAN. 11539.90, Oct 4 at 1456, JBA talk. EiBi shows Voice of Wilderness, for Korea North on ``11540``. Typical offfrequenciness by Tashkent site. Per WRTH, VOW is produced in S Korea by Cornerstone Ministries based in California (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0028 UT October 5

** CANADA. 2749-USB, Oct 4 at 0108, YL with marine weather in French, forecasts for lundi, mercredi, jeudi, etc. DXinfocentre.com says at this hour it would be VCO Sydney NS starting at 0040, 550 watts bilingual. Next would be Yarmouth from 0140 and Halifax 0240.
First logs of these for the season vs the summer/storm noise level. 2598-USB, Oct 4 at 0109, YL with marine weather in English, always weaker than 2749s, S3 to S2.5 close to the noise level. Starting at 0107 is VCM, 600 watts from St. Anthony which is on The Rock, but listed with (LABRADOR); not sure what that means, transmitter one place, source and or info about the other? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CARIBBEAN NETHERLANDS. 800, Oct 4 at 0155, Spanish in the mix on E/W loop despite KQCV OKC and CKLW Windsor. TWR a.k.a. BONAIRE is SS at 0000-0500 for Cuba and Caribbean, so a favorable azimuth for us. MW News Oct has an article explaining why despite a 440 kW transmitter, PJB is no longer easily into Europe, but best chance when for Carib in general (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 590, Oct 4 at 0053, classical music, got to be CMBF, Radio Musical Nacional, 25 kW from La Julia, Mayabeque near Habana. Only one other CM on 590, a Rebelde in far Guantánamo. Best by far on my E/W loop, buried on the N/S shortwire. Why can`t I hear a single US station classical on AM? ¡Viva la revolución! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 4747 approx., Oct 4 at 0124, scratchy S7 spur out of 4765 Radio Progreso, which is S9+35 and distorted, QRMing CODAR; the cadence of the spur matches the music on 4765. Matched by another about 4783; full range each covers: approx. 4744-4748 & 4778-4785. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, Oct 4 at 0134, RHC in wrong language, Spanish not English and // 5040; while 6000 is not // in music presumably correct English service. 11670 & 11760, UT Mon Oct 4 at 0142, RHC `En Contacto` DX program in progress, about a transponder change at the ISS, but these two frequencies are suptorted, S3-S6. 11850 is not only suptorted but just barely modulated as she is apparently citing the times for this show but like last week I am not paying close attention beyond hearing ``0235`` which would be wrong instead of 0135. Elsewhere: 9710 with heavy CCI from China; 9535 weaker but clearer. 13740, Oct 4 at 0144 another Spanish frequency check, sometimes on, sometimes not, but now it`s in ENGLISH! Apparently crossed up with 6165 in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6924-USB, Oct 4 at 0106, hard rock at S9. 0137 still going but off by 0149 check. A few logs here say Two Dog Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,87249.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6876-USB, Oct 4 at 0107, guitar music S9; 0122 DJ with Brit accent says ``Best Smooth Jazz``. 0137 still going. 0150 still VG with jazz piano; 0153 Brit chat spells out LUCAS, ``Smooth Jazz`` as if name of ``station`` if not programme. 0201 Smooth Jazz dedication to some YL for birthday? We hear a few words from her. Accents are so heavy, hard for me to understand despite VG reception, S9+10. Mentions bestsmoothjazz.com and rescued cats. That website exists in London, England, with TV show of Oct 2, this one? And promo next one of Oct 14. These say 6876 is really Mix Radio International, starting at 2133 Oct 2 on 6866, and move to 6876 at 2226: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,87233.0.html Hardly anybody cites ``Best Smooth Jazz``, but MRI says after a comment: ``Quote from: dave524 on Today at 01:53 --- For the wide signal I've found the Digital mode in SDRUno with the 12K width gives the best sound, great sounding show as usual`` ``That`s great because our transmitter is optimized for wideband SDR for best sound. At the same time we will sound good on any radio that is on frequency with our GPS. Thank you for your posts and especially tuning into MRI tonight. Logged Mix`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Oct 4 at 0149, weak music S3-S4 with fadeouts. Much weaker than the others. Was not hearing this while 6924 was on. These say it`s Radio 48: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,87248.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1020, UT Mon Oct 4 at 0056, ``Born Too Late`` pop music on near-local signal: got to be KOKP Perry, one of `Triple Play Sports Radio` breaking main format. Past 0101, ``gotta get out of here, The Old Stillwater Jukebox``, back next Sunday, ``Good night, Oklahoma, Tom Dirato``, 0103 to dead air, JBA talk, CCI? No, gradual fadeup of Patriot Radio Network, I suppose sports rather than political. So what time does the Jukebox start??? He doesn`t say and the website does not either, but has a rotating display on homepage: http://tripleplaysportsradio.com/ I confirmed this // 105.1 KOSB Perry, local quality but not audible on 1580 KOKB Blackwell which is VG daytime, but now should be 49 watts. I never hear either of these FMs on website: ``now 5-deep with 93.1 Stillwater, 93.3 Ponca City``. Presumably translators, but why do they need one in S-W? Maybe separately programmed when games pile up, triple-play not enough. KOKP 24h is plenty to ruin reception of Roswell, Pittsburgh or anything else on 1020 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** U S A. 3390.5-USB, Oct 4 at 0113 UT, NF01FB, fonetikaly more than once, ``regional net has closed``; MARS? Have not heard a call of such a format before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 3819-USB, Oct 4 at 0115, the non-LSB hams again in technical discussions, and this time I copy some calls: K5MXJ interjecting, AA5KG, two of them talking over each other for a minute. QRZ.com shows: K5MXJ, Kenneth M Jones, Jr, Houston, TX 77075; AA5KG, ALAN C PETERSON, Pueblo West, CO 81007 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4095.65, Oct 4 at 0120, whoops and CW ID as DW, JBA vs S5 noise level, so Desert Whooper, no sign of any voice now. DW replied to my last report: ``Hello Glenn! Thanks for you great HF listings! That is a very interesting intercept! Definitely not any voice transmissions coming from DW. What was your receive location and receiver bandwidth? There is an ITU channel 401 on 4095 KHz for ships to transmit on. Maybe you were hearing a ship plus DW whoops in your receiver??`` To which I replied: ``Enid OK. Not sure of the bandwidth, on the R75 but normal USB tuning in 1-kHz steps landing right on 4095 where the SSB sounded normal. Maybe ship, but seemed coordinated with the whoops and voicing the kind of info which would otherwise be sent in CW. Wish I could have heard it longer and better. Also, I did not detect any CW during this log. While the voice was on 4095.00, I can`t be sure of the whooper frequency, hard to pin down by its nature without a carrier but also heard tuned to 4095.00`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6993, Oct 4 at 0104, at least two JBA carriers beating, I have been noticing lately; logged several times before, but I should do so at least once a year, cf. this from *2017* --- ``6993, Sept 10 at 0002, JBA carrier as almost always audible from presumed WH2XWF, experimental 164-watt transmitters with several locations in Florida, to study ionospheric disturbances, never IDing, nothing but dead air. We`ll see if this gets blown or flooded off. 6993, Sept 12 at 0133, no JBA carrier from presumed WH2XWF, the Florida ionospheric study transmitters, so maybe Irma-caused. But Sept 13 at 0200 the JBA carrier is reaudible. No pirates (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1895, DX LISTENING DIGEST)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2106 monitoring: confirmed Sunday October 3 from 2000.5 on IRRS SW via AM Italia 918 kHz, S9-S8 after music, 2000 IRRS ID with Milano PO box, via Noale SDR. Also confirmed Sun Oct 3 at 2230 on WRMIs, 5950, S9+28, and 9955 two words behind, S9+32, both via Knoxville SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday October 4 at 0030 on WRMIs: 7730 VG direct; 9395, S9+22 and 9455, S8, both via Knoxville SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday October 4 from 0301.5 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 minus 27 Hz = 6159.973 into Knoxville SDR; JL ran slightly over interrupted by a quick legal ID at 0300. S7 and must use narrow LSB to minimise splash from 6165 RHC, still in Spanish, q.v. Next: 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 9455 to WNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 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 Joe Caberlin, Ontario for a US$ contribution 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. 5050, UT Mon Oct 4 at 0128, WWRB is S9+45, gospel huxter mixing with amateurish horn music, all distorted, then some horn only; 0130 YL introduces another program with guitar music, better modulation. This is active only on UT Sun & Mon, for a few hours local Sat and Sun evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0448 UT October 4

** CHINA. 12880, Oct 3 at 1452, Chinese S6-S4 with flutter, CNR1 jammer.
12500, Oct 3 at 1454, music S3-S5 with flutter, // 12880, CNR1 jammer. No others found in the WOOB 12-13 or 10-11 areas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, Oct 3 at 1854, RHC with S7/9+10 of dead air; by 1909 modulating in English; but supposed to be in Kriyol before 1900. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRELAND. 13264-USB, Oct 3 at 1451, YL VOLMET, JBA S0, i.e. Shannon scheduled here 24h (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. Re my Oct 2 report, Alan Roe replies on WOR iog: ``Hi Glenn, It's also worth mentioning that the RNZI/RNZPac weekly schedules at https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/schedules still also show "9:08PM [to 11:00PM] Sunday Night with Grant Walker" whereas the timings should be 8:08-10: PM, i.e. 0708-0900 UT, and the programme is now "The Sunday Night Retro Show with Phil O'Brien". I suspect that some (at least) of the rest of weekly schedule timings may also be one-hour off. Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K. 15510, Oct 3 at 1855, modern ME vocal jazzish music, S9/S6, 1859 Arabish announcement with contact info including .com, not finished when chopped off at 1859.5*. EiBi shows this is FEBA Radio Sama via Woofferton, while Aoki calls it IBRA Media/Radio Sama. So which is it? Radio Sama is not in the cross-reference page 524 of WRTH 2021. This transmission on a B-20 frequency appears on page 496 under SWEDEN: IBRA Media with no mention of Sama. Maybe it`s just a program, not a ``station``. FEBA refers to India and Pakistan, not Seychelles! but of course no Arabic or Sama there. BTW, the only ``International`` entry under PAK. The only SW entry in ``National`` sexion is 7265, Azad Kashmit Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 414-MCW kHz, Oct 3 at 0633 UT, ND beacon SU, which is 40 watts from SioUx City, Iowa; the only somewhat unusual one tonight altho not `new` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2106 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday October 3 ending at 0336 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+20 direct vs storm noise, so started early circa 0307. Also confirmed Sunday October 3 at 1255 on NEW 1230 broadcast by WMRI Europe via Channel 292, GERMANY, 9670, S6-S8 into UTwente, atop CCI music. Normally I want to sleep an hour later, but good thing I alarmed myself since no one has replied to my explicit request for monitoring of this! 1259 music comes up, ``Piece of the Axion``, past hourtop, 1302 roboYL ``Dex Carter`` ``playing favorite songs until 1400``. While this music is running, I can`t hear QRMusic which may have stopped; I hope WMRI itself was not underlaying WOR with music. It so happens that the time for us coincides with that Vietnamese clandestine transmitted from Taiwan at 1230-1300 on 9670; EiBi says there is noise jamming too but I don`t hear that. WMRI`s entire experimental broadcast runs 1200-1600 Sundays; and Channel 292 schedule shows it`s direxional on two letters toward North America; they now display this with a proper great circle map. But it was not audible into Maine SDR on this day path, let alone to OK. Channel 292 transmits from Rohrbach in SE Germany, Bavaria near Ingolstadt, east of Stuttgart, between Nürnberg and München; only 520 km = 323 statute miles from UTwente SDR at Entschede, Netherlands; but evidently not inside the skip zone. Next: 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NE 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW; 9395 to NNW, 9455 to WNW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 9455 to WNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 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 Joe Caberlin, Ontario for a US$ contribution 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 [and non]. 9330, Oct 3 at 1458 past 1500, no signal from WLCR via WBCQ. Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, also reports: ``World's Last Chance Radio relays via SPL and ENC-DMS off air. But on October 3 also no signal of World's Last Chance Radio via WBCQ-6 https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2021/10/no-signal-of-worlds-last-chance-radio.html -- 73! Ivo Ivanov`` Alan Holder, Isle of Wight, also reports Oct 3: ``Since October 1, I cannot locate WLC radio via the Woofferton relays: 17700 English 1700-1900, 9800 Arabic 1800-2100. I also checked 13840 Arabic this morning October 3 at 0930 (and 15780, 17520 alternatives) via Kostinbrod, but nothing heard. The WLC Web site still lists these broadcasts. Has Galal Doss fallen behind on his payments or have the relays been cancelled? Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.`` 9330, however, Oct 3 at 1846, S9/+10 of dead air back on past 1925 with no modulation, off at 1930* and *1931 back on; surely this instead of Cuban spy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, Sun Oct 3 at 1849, rock music at S9, but weakened in daytime absorption just after local mean noon here, WTWW-2; checked since first hearing S9+10 of PPPP on 9475 WTWW-1. 2 is often on without 1 on this or 5830 at night, but not 1 without 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 4095.00-USB, Oct 3 at 0625, surprised to hear OM voice instead of CW, alternating with upward whoops; JBA in high storm noise level, but is giving temps in degrees; 0626 ID maybe? and ``out``; and later 0630 mentions UTC? There seem to be lots of beacons around this kHz. The ``Desert Whooper`` itself has been higher about 4095.6. I`ve asked the team there if that`s it, or what. A quick look at HF Underground does not find anything about voice on this exact frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 12747-USB, Oct 3 at 1453, 2-way talk seems Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Some BAD TV signals Oct 3 at 1509 UT when there is some tropo in OK & KS: RF 8, 12, 14, 31. Likely Wichita market except 14 could be KOCW Hoisington KS, if not KOCY OKC which I have yet to confirm. Rooftop antenna remains fix-aimed toward OKC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 1938 UT October 3

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Oct 2 at 1456 tune-in via Brasil remotes, LRA36 is on again this Saturday, usual stuff of frequent IDs, historical talx, songs, i.e. 1525 hielo song, 1527 Antártida song; 1542 re-``sign-on``, 1545 Antda. song; 1552 rock; music past 1605 and 1617 tune-out. Manuel Méndez, Spain, who barely hears it direct, says it quit at 1717*, having first tuned in at 1452 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, Oct 2 at 0638, RHC English with humbuzz after some nights not suffering from that, S9+20/30; 6165 is S9+30/40 and somewhat overmodulated while 6000 & 6100 are off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Saturday October 2 at 0632, RNZI S9+10 the SSOB by far with honky-tonk piano music, announcement on the `Saturday Night` nationwide request show, always a fun listen. I first checked 7245 and found it empty. The current how-to-listen schedule is still self-contradictory: 04:59 - 06:58 11725 Pacific Daily 05:59 - 12:58 7245 Pacific Sat Sun 06:59 - 08:58 7245 Pacific Mon - Fri as if on both frequencies Sat & Sun at 0559-0658! They do have two transmitters but never? run both at once. As for the programme, another contradixion, for October 2: ``8:08 PM. Saturday Night Saturday nights on RNZ National is where Paul Brennan plays the songs YOU want to hear. All music from 7 till midnight (RNZ)`` Obviously it really starts at 0608 UT, since a week ago, NZ started imagining the local time zone be 13 hours ahead. This is rather too late even for me in the ``CDT`` of UT -5, but we shall ``gain`` an hour from November to make it appear just after local midnight and only hope there will still be a VG L&C frequency in B-21. If you are up late on our ``Friday night``, go hear this. https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturdaynight The programme page dated October 2 has playlists for each hour but not exact times. What I heard amid the first hour was: Winifred Atwell - Black And White Rag Extraterritorial listeners might not be refused since it is on SW: ``Saturday Night --- Your requests, nostalgia and musical memories. Saturday evening from 7pm - Midnight To make a request or contact the programme: saturdaynight@radionz.co.nz Text: 2101 [is this funxional worldwide, only 4 #? I don`t text] Radio New Zealand National P O Box 123 Wellington.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2106 monitoring: confirmed after 1600 UT Sat Oct 2 on WRN North American service webcast. Also confirmed Sat Oct 2 at 1952 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, about 17 minutes into so started circa 1935. Occasional lite crashes from storms in MO & IL, but not right over Wentzville. Also heard at 2353 Sat Oct 2 on WRMI 5950, which I had left running via GA/TN remotes after Wavescan until 2330 when WOR must have started at a new unknown time; but it now shows on the System L schedule --- and another new one on me, Friday at 2230! as well as Sunday 2230, all on 5950. [Following at 0000 UT Sun Oct 3 on 5950: TRSW with Europirate R. Monique International, which seems to specialise in classic rock, what else? The silly DJ whose favorite expletive is ``bay-beh``, calls out to American listeners.] WOR 2106 also confirmed UT Sun Oct 3 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG. Next: 0300vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0315; as late as 0430] 1230 UT Sunday WMRI Europe via Ch 292 Germany 9670 [NEW] [reports please of this to confirm; and how is reception around Europe or beyond? Direxional toward North America] 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NE 2230 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW; 9395 to NNW, 9455 to WNW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 9455 to WNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 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 Joe Caberlin, Ontario for a US$ contribution 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. 9950 & 9960, Oct 2 at 0626, once again WRMI audible on parasitic spurs 5 kHz above and below 9955, which is S9+20/30, during TOMBS with a trace of that modulation on 9960 and less so on 9950. 4975 & 4985, soon checked too Oct 2 at 0646, the same type of spurring out of 4980 which is also S9+20/30, the upper one a JBA carrier, and hardly any modulation on the lower. So far the only two WRMI transmitters detected this way, adjacent #3 and #4 which are both on 160 degree antenna(s) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Oct 3 at 0009, WTWW-2 already in TOUTA via webcast. Slightly distorted but at least it`s in $ tereo unlike SW, and there is nothing like an organ that needs $ tereo! Topic is ``ladies day``, i.e. female organistes. Ends at 0030, so now supposed to start at 0000? Don`t count on it. I take off my phones but don`t stop the player; at 0039 I hear traces of TO --- yes, more such music, not played by ladies, but totally George Wright, i.e. a masculine person. Must be running two episodes in a row, ends at 0100; what next? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0233 UT October 3
