Hauser
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Nov 6 at 1509 quick check on Brasil
SDR, again this Saturday no signal from LRA36; only on Wednesdays
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FINLAND [and non]. 11720, 11690, 6170, 5980, Fri Nov 5 at 2323, no
signals on any of these detected at UTwente for monthly low-power
Scandinavian Weekend Radio broadcast for 24 hours from 2200. At least
no other stations blocking either; the first 10 hours supposed to be
on 11720 & 5980 --- not 5970 typo in the Radiosdumonde on disgraced FB
publicity quoted elsewhere without correxion. UTw may be too close for
11 MHz, and propagation remains degraded. At 0025 Nov 6 recheck,
however, is getting a VP signal on 5980 with discussion in English,
sounds like BBC --- in fact it *is* BBC as sked this bihour via OMAN,
0029 pause for promos and news; and no sign of SWR. So trying to hear
SWR remains a waste of time. It would help a lot if SWR picked truly
clear frequencies, even out of band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9v, Nov 6 at 0642, VON is on for a change at S7-S9
but just barely modulated. Something`s always awful at Abuja (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ND beacons in well UT Nov 6 at 0651-0700 UT with no storms
anywhere in USA per Blitzortung:

515-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0651, underneath PN Ponca City OK, which has
been constantly strong day and night, for the first time I hear
another one: OS, which is 25 watts from Columbus at Ohio State.

426-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0653 UT, ND beacon UV, which is 25 watts from
Oxford, Mississippi.

420-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0654 UT, NDB, TU, 25 watts from Tupelo, MS. I
was tuned to 419-USB

414-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0655 UT, two NDBs mixing, alternating IDs: SU,
40 watts from Sioux City IA; and ATS, 25 watts from Artesia NM; tuned
to 412-USB

404-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0657 UT, NDB, HU, 25 watts from Hutchinson KS,
not far but seldom heard; with QRM from HRU on 407, 25 watts from
further Herington KS, which is a regular

400-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0658 UT, NDB, AHQ, 25 watts from Wahoo,
Nebraska; I think the only one ever logged on 400, despite several
others listed, not even AI Ardmore OK with 30 watts

382-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0700 UT, NDB, SP, 25 watts from Springfield IL,
tuned to 380-USB

356-MCW kHz, Nov 6 at 0701 UT, NDB, ODX, 25 watts from Ord, Nebraska
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13563+CW, Nov 6 at 1454, HIFER beacon YSO, Yellow Springs
OH, listed as 13563.50~; aside slight 13565 CW, presumably K6FRC
California; with CODAR QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2111 monitoring: as sent
immediately to Alfredo Cotroneo at IRRS Nov 5:

``WOR cut in half --- Alfredo, New scheduling on Friday: 1911 UT tune
in, music already modulating on 7290 & 918. WOR starts on time clearly
at 1915 on both. 1930, cut to IRRS ID and MUSIC! Last half of WOR
lost. Or still music past 1933. Now what? --- And at 1934 Wavescan
starts! BTW, heavy adjacent interference from 7295 China in English.
LSB tuning of 7290 required. --- FYI, Furthermore I observed the
following as I kept monitoring 7290 and 918 via remotes: 1945 Wavescan
keeps running on both, so your time does not end at 1945 any more? but
7290 is off the air by 1956 or 1957 before WS is finished. WS is still
running on 918, but having started ``late``, is still not finished
when at 1959.5, 918 cuts to double IRRS SW announcement, signing off,
then QSL info, and 2001 into music. Glenn``

The next IRRS broadcast of WOR is on MW 918 only, again monitored thru
nearby Noale, Italy, remote: confirmed Fri Nov 5 at 2130 ex-2030, VG
signal and almost complete, but chopped off a few seconds before
finished as I say, ``Solar flux 100 November 3...`` Not only no more
mod but transmitter turned off.

Missed checking Fri Nov 5 at 2230 on WRMI 5950; anyone hear it? From
next week expected to be at 2330.

Confirmed UT Sat Nov 6 at 0141 the 0130 on WRMI 9395, S5-S8 into
Winnipeg SDR, but JBA here. From next week: 0230. Next:

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

** U S A. 9330, Nov 5 at 2222, WBCQ SuperStition in Brazuguese with up
and down strength flutter despite 500 kW peaking S9+20, but also
sideways Doppler frequency flutter, as the ionosphere has still not
fully recovered. WWV claims no storms in past 24 hours nor predicted,
but K index at 0000 would be 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.898v, Nov 5 at 2357, WBCQ S9+20 into Maryland SDR in
dead air, but 2358 song and ID, Nov 6 at 0000, William Tell Overture
for `AAAWWW`, with interjexions: ``check it``, ``no more, no more, no
more, no more,`` he begs of Angela; and ``gallop``. He`s always
opening with titillation, implying or saying that Angela is half-naked
or stripping. Then into discussion of horse riding which means this is
a rerun from last week; I missed the opening then so did not recognize
that at first. Is this the weekend he was going to some hamfest in NH?
John Carver agrees it`s a repeat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Nov 6 at 0639, YL rock song in English, maybe gospel,
S9+10. Got to be WRNO extended past usual 0400* (after DST, nominally
0500*). But bad distortion. Many months ago they stayed on overnight
for a while, partly Chinese. Others also report this, Ron Howard in
Hindi until 0502 English, Walt Salmaniw, Wolfgang Bueschel; and Ivo
Ivanov past 1000. When I recheck at 1513, it`s off. 7505 is HFCC
registered available for WRNO at 2200-1600, rest of the time on never
used 15590. Remains to be heard whether this be permanent expansion
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1637 UT November 6

Hauser
** CANADA. 248-MCW kHz, Nov 5 at 0611, ND beacon dash and WG, 1000
watts from Winnipeg MB. In much degraded auroral propagation from the
north I was wondering if any Canadian would arrive, and only this one
does (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, KOPX-TV OKC, Nov 5 at 1520 UT, checking out the
other 6 subchannels besides recently discovered Newsy on 62-7:
62-1, ION
62-2, Bounce
62-3, CourtTV
62-4, Grit
62-5, Defy TV
62-6, TruReal

Defy TV? Yet another new ``network`` never heard of before. Per
website its flagship shows are ilk of American Pickers, Duck Dynasty,
Pawn Stars. Pass!

True Real? Ditto: Married at First Sight, Wahlburgers, Escaping
Polygamy, Hoarders. Pass2! Is there really a market for all these
lobrow reruns on obscure subchannels? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** THAILAND. 11660, Nov 5 at 1457, music marred by heavy Doppler
flutter, beyond Cuba and non, strongest signal on band, off by 1500
recheck. VOA Chinese via Udorn scheduled, so could be jammer instead,
but only one signal heard. After severe geomag storm, many other JBA
signals also have Doppler flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 257-MCW kHz, Nov 5 at 0609 UT, ND beacon JYR, which is 25
watts from York, Nebraska.

293-MCW kHz, Nov 5 at 0610 UT, ND beacon FBY, 25 watts from Fairbury
NE. So common I don`t always log it. Not many are making it now in
geomag storm, and only one from CANADA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 10000, Nov 5 at 1504, WWV in a special announcement during
the minute reserved for such, about something at :48, refers to
www.hamsci.org/wwv

Before 1700 I`m trying for a good WWV signal via Maryland remote;
altho 10000 is S9 with tix clearly audible, the voice announcements
come thru JBA, very strange. Before 1704 I switch to direct reception
on 10000, and partially copy the announcement by roboyl: Starting Nov
15 there will be tests on WWV on the hour [?? not clear the time!] and
WWVH at :48 for HamSci and NIST, consisting of tones, chirps, noise
bursts, for several weeks; see website [as above] where we find this:

``WWV/H Scientific Modulation --- Welcome to the WWV/H Scientific
Modulation Working Group page! For more information about scientific
modulation on WWV, email hamsci@case.edu

HamSCI's WWV/H Scientific Modulation Working Group is exploring
possibilities for additions to WWV and WWVH's modulation that can be
used for science purposes. Current status: a characterization signal
has been designed for test broadcasts on WWV and WWVH. View it here:
DOI

TAPR DCC Presentation, 18 September 2021: WW0WWV has written an
excellent report on the TAPR presentation, which you can read here:
WWV/WWVH Scientific Modulation Working Group | WWVARC`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2110 monitoring: confirmed UT Thu
Nov 4 at 0030 on WRMIs: 9395 S9+10 and 9455 S9 but 9395 is much
louder.

Also confirmed final repeat UT Thu Nov 4 at 0140 the 0130 on WRMI
5010, S9/+10 but noisy.

From next week all three should be at 0130. BTW, no more logs made UT
Nov 4 during severe geomag storming, K-index hitting 8 as Rodney
Johnson points out, and Spaceweather says auroras were visible into NM
which means also to northern OK.

WOR 2111 confirmed first broadcasts, UT Friday November 5 at 0130 on
WRMIs: 7780, S7-S9 into UTwente but at 0144 S9-S5 direct; 5850 VG
direct, at 0144 S9+10/20.

Also confirmed UT Fri Nov 5 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, but JBA at North and
Latin American remotes during degraded propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Nov 5 at 1502 and 1505, no signal from WLCR on WBCQ;
another breakdown? Surely would be detectable despite storm; WRMIs
with southern advantage are VG. 1648 recheck, now it`s on with a
continuous tone test, S9+10 into Maryland SDR; carrier offset only 0.3
to 0.5 Hz. By 1719 resumed abnormal programming about the Earth being
covered by a dome, which is in scripture, they say (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 680, Nov 5 at 0613 UT, talk show with echo from two
different stations; closest normally is KFEQ St Joseph MO; must be
`Red Eye Radio` as also // but not synch on 700, 760, 820, 890. Per
NRC AM Log, the only other RER on 680 is 50 kW WPTF Raleigh NC, major
night lobe to the south, nullish thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 830, Nov 5 at 0615 UT, WCCO now with `Jim Bohannon` show
about 2 seconds ahead of // 720 WGN; after 0500 of course it`s a
replay but he keeps uttering phone-in numbers. In Standard Time, live
runs will be 0307-0559 UT Tue-Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Oceanic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 5 at 0601 UT:
at this hour, I usually start with 846, presumed Kiritimati, and it is
there now, but the only other 9-kHz are 621 and 711, surely Canary
Islands and Morocco, all lower-latitude paths as higher signals from
Europe are blocked by severe geomag storm (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1370.47V approx., Nov 5 at 0621 UT, wavering het to
1370.00 pileup. Nothing listed anywhere so far off at mwoffsets (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1725 UT November 5

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Nov 3 at 1531 tune-in via Brasil SDR,
LRA36 is on this Wednesday S5-S6, but signing-off, ``todo por hoy``
until next miércoles, then complete Antártida song about Base
Esperanza et al. Of course, 1535 continues immediately with more rock
music until really chopped off air at 1550*, including the reduced
carrier. The playbacks on Saturdays have been absent a few weeks, but
you never know without checking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6230, Nov 3 at 0557, RHC English JBA on leapfrog mixing
product of 6100 over 6165 another 65 kHz beyond. 6165 is S9+30, 6100
S9+20/30. 6060 also on with humbuzz at S9+30, but no `frog audible on
6140, nor any other combos. 6000 still on at S9+40. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6030, Nov 3 at 0600, just caught R. Martí before
quitting on extended schedule, temporarily? They also did this last
year. Heavy jamming of course continues, just in case, blocking any
CFVP (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 7157 & 7215, Nov 3 at 0602, centres of lite pulse jamming
still going after weeks. The incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command
apparently once found some objexionable exile hams there and remains
unrelenting, as if hams could not QSY anywhere. What would CO2KK say?
Isn`t IARU raising a ruckus about this? Now also PJ against nothing on
7335, 7365, 7435; and 7355 strongest mixed with a tone, all R. Martí
frequencies used only at earlier hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13638 & 13762, Nov 3 at 1453, weak spurblobs out of RHC 13700
which is S9+10 undermodulated and with F# tone, plus and minus ~62
kHz. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 1513 recheck, all gone (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 17795-17800-17805 DRM, Nov 3 at 1712, TDF with marine
weather for MiniTransAt yacht race, S9 via Maryland SDR, mostly solid,
but lo-fi at usual 8.08 kbps, SNR 20, DRM mode B, Chan 10 kHz
displayed, humale voice in French, 1713 switch to huwoman voice in
French-accented English, 1728 back to male in French but mixes in some
numbers in English; 1732 YL in French but also some English numbers;
not weather now but ordinally up to 50th, presumably race rankings.
1741 seems to be concluding bilingually; 1742 little bits of music,
amid dropouts, a different tune fragment each time, now down to S8-S7,
SNR to 15. 1750 quits modulating but still on air at S6, off by 1758
check. This 17-18 transmission on 17800 is on the displayed DRM
schedule roster under Télédiffusion de France. But beware, still also
shows Radio Martí on 7345 DRM despite its disappearance months ago.

Chris Mackerell, NZ, asks, ``Were you able to decode the data part of
the transmission? Previously the DRMcast contained a data stream of
images and weather maps in the same stream as the audio. The audio was
always decodable, but the pictures weren't. I haven't been able to
check myself yet, so am curious. Maybe they're just audio this time.
73 Chris``

Neither then nor today was I aware of any images. Maybe I don`t know
where to look for them beyond the conventional Kiwi DRM display. Glenn
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN [and non]. 11670, Nov 3 at 2310, only RHC Spanish to be
heard, // 9535 music. If REE be on there, it`s totally covered; and no
signal on alt. 11685 during token English semihour Wed, VG on 9690, VP
on 11940 & 12030. All checked via Maryland remote (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

Hauser
** BRAZIL [and non]. 6150, Nov 2 at 2224, discussion of racketeering,
poor signal, sounds like BBC English, indeed this hour only via USAGM
Tinang, PHILIPPINES. No other signal now.

I`m looking for the brand new Brazilian SW station, imagine that!
which Bryan Clark in NZ discovered, heard since Oct 31, peaking
0630-0900, ID with help of Brazilian DXers as Rádio Saturno in Belo
Horizonte, 92.3 and 6150, and QSLed already. Apparently not on MW.

Searching, I find several Youtube clips of it dating back to July 14,
2021! How did this escape the notice of the broader DX world?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTOebO9s3GU

Bryan estimates power only around 1 kW. And maybe it`s not on air in
the evenings, as seems to be the case now. Other 6150s to avoid during
night hours: Romania Spanish at 03-04; VOA Thailand in Burmese at
2330-0030. Germany, S Korea start at 0700 but more or less limited to
the dayside (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 7325, Nov 2 at 1447, weak algo with het from 7326. CRI in
Filipino is scheduled this semi-hour per Aoki; per HFCC a double entry
on 7325: 500 kW, 165 degrees from Beijing site, and 100 kW, 130
degrees from Nanning site. Also in HFCC only, a reservation for some
``JIC MIC`` clandestine, 14-17, 300 kW, 290 degrees from Yamata (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 9620, Nov 2 at 2218, CCI in Chinese and more
Chinese adding up to S7-S8; this hour has CNR1 jamming and VOA via
Tinang, PHILIPPINES (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 7355, Nov 2 at 0623, noise jamming with a
whine/carrier about 7355.37. No sign of R Martí now, but which has
extended to 0600* ex -0400* on SW. Maybe will be -0700* after DST?

7435, Nov 2 at 0625, pulse jamming against nothing, as R Martí is
scheduled here 2300-0400 only. This PJ consists of approx. 30 rapid
pulses, a pause and then approx. 40 of them, alternating (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13820, Nov 2 at 2206, pulse jamming against nothing since OCB
finishes at 2000. At least this is evidence the DCJC knows RM be here
sometime, unless a relic of B-20 season. Also weaker jamming still
audible on 13605, the A-21 channel. RM 13820 so strong here when on
that I cannot detect jamming. Equally super during the 22 UT hour now
are 9565, 7375 and 7355 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11950, Nov 2 at 2215, RHC is S9-S3 but undermodulated during
the `Mesa Redonda` TV soundtrack alternate Spanish; // 6000 at 2226 is
S9+25/15 and even worse, just barely modulated. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GALAPAGOS ISLANDS. 18150-USB, Nov 2 at 2200, HD8R uttering this
call every few seconds, alternating with AB8F apparently trying to
contact him. I hear both well, but they can`t hear each other? Then
HD8R adds ``up 5`` meaning he is listening only on 18155-USB. His
accent is so heavy I had a hard time understanding his fonetix. No
details at QRZ.com beyond this:

``HD8R Galapagos Islands flag Galapagos Islands
Dxfriends Dxpedition
San Cristobal
Galapagos Islands
Ecuador
QSL: EA5RM
Page managed by EA5RM Lookups: 157850``

but linx to http://www.dxfriends.com
which leads to:
http://www.dxfriends.com/hd8r/

headed ``CUADRILLA DE TIFARITI - GALAPAGOS 2021 HD8R``
with a camel? mascot which are not among the Galápagos fauna; but the
Friends started out with Western Sahara a sesquidecade ago; now a
14-member team consisting of 6 from Spain, 4 from France, 1 from
Ecuador, 1 from Colombia, and 2 from Italy.

``We´ll be active from October 26th to November 7th, from 6 to 160
meters (including Warc bands) on CW, SSB and Digi modes with at least
4 stations on the air at the same time. HD8R grid locator is: EI59gc``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15215, Nov 2 at 2204, SE Asian song, S8-S4, something new
here. Aoki shows it`s KSDA daily in Vietnamese hour (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** JAPAN [and non]. 11815, Nov 2 at 1404, NHK dominant over TRT making
SAH, adding up to S7. By 1439 Turkish music dominates, still SAH from
NHK. They overlap at 14-15, but don`t care about the collision here,
target for neither. Hope they each have no problem with the other in
their own targets: 235 degrees from Yamata; 310 degrees from TRT for W
Europe, but we are directly beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Nov 2 at 1612, Kashmir Civitas weekly Tuesday
clandestine via IRRS ROMANIA, S7-S9 into UTwente, now one hour later
at 1600 due to standard time in Europe, not Kashmir --- and it`s
almost all in English. YL with American accent interviews OM with S
Asian accent, but she apparently also has SAs roots. First about his
background as a musician and documentary film-maker, and I wonder if
this is really about Kashmir, but then mentioning India and Pakistan;
1625 she invites him to say something in Kashmiri -- not Urdu, and he
does, alternating with English. 1626 brief transmitter break as they
are upwrapping, ``fight against India for freedom``, 1628 concluding
with their names, totally unreadable, chopped off at 1629* with no RRI
IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 9560.044, Nov 2 at 0620, S3-S5 talk in
African-accented English. This hour is VOA relay from Pinheira,
typically off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 11670, Nov 2 at 2210, REE is JBA but // VG 9690, also 12030
and distorted 11940 -- NOT on 11685. This is strange, since Wolfgang
Bueschel has been reporting 11685, not 11670, since B-21 began,
including earlier today with a silly ballgame. Is REE indecisive about
which African frequency to use, even during a single day`s span?
Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Spanish; cambio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
