** FRANCE. 13735, Oct 15 at 1513, no signal from Mini TransAt yacht
race marine weather, neither to Maryland SDR nor UTwente. Had been
recently reported, but maybe now finally in hiatus until race resume
Oct 29 from Canary Island to Guadeloupe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [and non]. 18119-USB, Oct 15 at 2128, JR7TKG contacting
NZ2S#, Jeff in Spokane, also heard, says they have QSOed several times
before. JR7 gives his call clearly and fonetikaly several times.
QRZ.com: ``JR7TKG Japan flag Japan, Sasaki ("Saki") Toru, Iwate,
Japan`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9v, Oct 15 at 0616, no signal from VON. Now I wish I
had noted every night, but it seems like at least a week since it have
appeared. Past absences sometimes replaced by 9689.9v or 11769.9v, but
no sign of those now altho could be on and not propagating unlike the
bigsig on 7255- when running. A non-log some editors will throw out as
inconsequential, but VON`s absence is more significant than its
presence (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Oct 15 at 1410, K6FRC HIFER beacon is JBA with
call repeating. Allegedly only 1.8 milliwatts from Patterson CA. And
standard remark: occasionally audible but only around this daypart,
never other hours I bandscan, so is it 24h or not? If not, why not,
the point of running a beacon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2108 monitoring: confirmed first
broadcasts UT Friday October 15 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850, S9+25 into
Missouri SDR; 7780 S8-S9 and noisy into UTwente SDR. 5850 has a bit of
scratchy noise as via MO and another Kiwi, but NOT on my original
recording, nor direct from 5850 at 0155. 7780 direct at 0155 is VP in
noise S7-S9.

Also confirmed UT Fri Oct 15 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, S8-S9 into Bonaire
after 0328 IS & ID loop with promise to start at ``top of hour`` -- in
India, maybe!

NOT confirmed Fri Oct 15 at 1815 on IRRS SW via Bulgaria 7290. Via
UTwente SDR, carrier is on by tune-in 1813, but as usual, no
modulation cut-on until almost 1816, and it`s NOT WOR, but rock music.
I was expecting this since simulmonitoring via Noale SDR, AM Italia
918 kHz, which was already running the same instead of WOR, and think
I hard a program name as ``weekend show of Radio City``, more music,
// a few seconds apart, past 1820 and 1832 final chex.

Looking at the NEXUS-IBA program sked for Friday after 2000 CEST:
Nothing about 7290 or WOR; besides stream at all times, just 918 is
added during certain evening times, with generic unspecific
programming info. But it and other days of week are updated ``as of 14
May 2021``!! If IRRS have given up 7290 altogether, the Bulgarians are
still turning it on with whatever comes in from the feed line. I don`t
need this frustration, but should I stay on IRRS on the idea that
something is better than nothing, even if totally unreliable?

Next scheduled airing is on 918 only at 2030 UT, and that does succeed
with new WOR 2108. Both earlier and now, there is co-channel QRM,
maybe Spain or some other European, likely to continue or worsen with
wintrish propagation across the continent. But we are well atop, as we
should be a few km away from transmitter. But further? The NEXUS-IBA
``May`` sked now shows WOR Sat 2000 CEST on 918 only, our ex-time, and
again nothing about 7290 SW.

Confirmed Friday Oct 15 at 2230 on WRMI 5950, S9+15/20 into TN SDR
showing offset +23 Hz. VG but barely avoids some ACI from 5945
Romanian folk music. Next:

** U S A. 9330, Oct 15 at 1408, no signal from WBCQ SuperStition =
World`s Last Chance. Has been quite sporadic, unreliable, tho when on
sounds fine. Are there operational, financial, or technical problems?

9333, Oct 15 at 1510, JBA carrier, which I never detect when 9330 WBCQ
be on, so suspect it`s related, exciter? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Oct 16 from 0000, WBCQ webcast of
`AAAWWW`. I listen to the opening and check a few spots later. Both
webcast and quick check of 7490 on a TN SDR are dead air for about a
minute, coming up only after Allan`s interjexions are done, tsk. I
notice that the W8BUG Kiwi has labeled 7490 ``WBCQ Wacko Radio`` ---
not by me! Own webcast is distorted worse than ever; is no one paying
attention to it? Angela first advocates saving the rain forest -- I
can certainly agree on that! Allan says he`s tired of talking about
politix, but Angela rebuxe as it`s only about our freedom! At 0021
Allan is complaining about the bugs in the 420-D = the SuperStition
transmitter. Main problem seems to be its broadband 1 kW amplifier,
which is too complicated to operate, instead of on/off switch and gain
control -- noooo, it`s gotta be all-digital, which keeps causing the
transmitter to mess up. 0024 a call from Rabishu in SW Colorado who is
getting an S3 signal, is glad A&A show up on air every week and wants
to mention a ham net. 0058 replies to complaint of distortion; will
have to put a limiter so the encoder is not overmodulated, apologizes.
Still going past 0102, after his own canned ID interrupts him at 0100.
Hope Hal Turner is next, since he notified of his own computer
problems. Prayer; 0102.7 JIP Hal. No report in yet from John Carver
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Fri Oct 15 at 2200 on WRMI 9955 webcast, I make a
point of listening to `Satanic Shortwave`, apparently the same episode
which aired two and four weeks ago, and not clear whether it will
continue twice-monthly. I tune in a few seconds late, but never hear
any attribution to Kelly Bogues a.k.a. Rabishu as producer of this.
Lots of music in first part, and talk by a maleish robovoice. 2204
song outro: ``Give me no man`s land``. 2205 next song, ``Satan takes a
holiday``. 2211 reading excerpt from ``The Church of Satan`` by
Blanche Barton, about the guy who went on to found the ``church`` of
that name; organ music. 2218, purpose of this program to explain what
Satanism is, and is not: Satanists are born and not made; it is not
devil-worship. [O, then maybe they should find a different name??].
Refers to a website for more info about it. 2220 a bit of German and
then a ``sermon`` in English with menacing music; 2226 martial music
only to 2229:30 over without any further talk. I am not convinced by
this any more than by pro-gospel huxters. Perhaps the object be really
to troll the latter with something even ``worse`` than Atheism? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0127 UT October 16

** COLOMBIA [non]. 4940, Oct 14 at 0627, zero signal from mysterious
Maicao gospel huxter, I haven`t bothered to relog in ages, but always
had been at least detectable overnight. Propagation OK, as 4885 Brasil
is S9! Lacking a specific ID, 4940 referred to as Fuerza de Paz or
Montana (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145, Oct 14 at 0622, RHC English S9+20/30, VG in Palestine
discussion, wrong frequency again instead of 6165 probably all evening
since *0000v. Now also 6060 S9/+10 direct and no buzz; 5040 also still
on in English, but not 6000 nor 6100. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 5890, Oct 14 at 0625, pulse jamming vs weakened JBA
Brother Scare on WWCR. I vaguely recall that R. Martí may have been on
this frequency years ago, or VOA Spanish? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 11984.928, Oct 14 at 1443, VP talk but glaringly
off-frequency. I figure it will be Saipan or Tinian, but Aoki shows
Biblis until 1500, VOA Kurdish. After 1500, however, it`s RFA Korean
via Saipan. Does not speak well for USAGM engineering. Their
transmitters need a `fine-tuning` adjustment, like receivers; and
people to pay attention to it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Oct 14 at 1439, Dengê Welat with chanting,
talk, S8-S5 with heavy flutter. Per Aoki it`s now via PRIDNESTROVYE,
switching to France at 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Oct 13 at 1511, another Wednesday
emission tuned in progress from LRA36, fair S4-S6 via Brasil SDR,
music; 1518 ``sign-off`` and Antártida song; but 1523 more music
follows immediately; 1535 ``sign-on`` with multi-lingual ID including
English that this is in Spanish, historical talk; 1537 Antártida song

** BRAZIL. 9666.108V, Oct 13 at 600, RVM music at S3-S5; has been
steadily drifting upward, now exceeding 1 kHz above nominal, measured
here and wobbling slightly. Is the only ZY audible overnight on 31m
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Oct 13 at 1821, S9 but JBM sounds like choking Arabic
as scheduled. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 13 at 2200, REE English to N America on Wed: no

15520 and even 17855 also barely audible over full-night path, but no
signal on 11940, which must be OFF (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Oct 13 at 2228, no signal direct from VOT English too
N America; recheck via UTwente at 2244 before usual closing, no signal

** U S A. 9330, re the registered antennas for the WBCQ SuperStition:
Wolfgang Bueschel explains that #805 is the same type listed for all
the other WBCQ ``classic`` frequencies, horizontal log periodic. I say
certainly this does not really apply to the 250 kW transmitter on
9330. Possibly a backup lower-power transmitter on 9330 would be such,
but not registered. #216, listed for most but not all 9330
transmissions is: Curtain antenna, half-wave dipole array --- and in
this case also rotatable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Intense tropo blob up to Level 7 per Hepburn`s maps,

** CUBA. 11880, Oct 12 at 2302, NO signal from RHC English; also off
in Spanish: 11850 and its 11840/11860 parasites: something`s always
wrong at RHC. But on are: 11760 with humbuzz, 11670; and 11980 JBA
probably 2 x 5990 CRI English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, Oct 13 at 0142, RHC English with thin-voiced YL, wrong
frequency instead of 6000; and also JBA on 2X = 11980; // 6165 on
right frequency instead of 6145. Thus of the two NAm English channels
at 00-05, you never know which two of four frequencies will be in use.
Something`s something`s always always wrong wrong at at RHC RHC (Glenn

** CUBA. 11850, Oct 13 at 0143, RHC Spanish is S9/+10 but suptorted,

always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 11860, Wed Oct 12 on caradio, nothing but choral music

Caridad, Patrona de Cuba, ubicado en Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Oct 12 at 1505, JBA carrier direct, 1508 late
tune-in via UTwente SDR to another weekly Kashmir Citivas, from IRRS,
worse than usual, not solid, only S9-S6 --- and it`s completely in
English! about legacy of British colonialism, atop usual strumming. I
notify the WOR iog but it`s too late, 1511 switch back to Urdu talk.
No Western music fill this week, chopped off at 1529* but not before

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 12 at 2301 and 11940 at 2312, zero signals from
the two REE frequencies scheduled to run past 2305 weekdays: maybe the
geomag storm have delayedly hit, outwiping such prop. At 2100, K-index

** U S A. 9330, Oct 12 at 0252, WBCQ World`s Last Chance is on again,
VG S9+20/30, Canadian-accented interviewer with someone about
Antarctica; anti-Rothschild, anti-elite. Wondering if some other
far-right political show? Not your usual pontificating. Oh2: Then
country song so wacko it could be taken as a parody on any other
station, like: there was never a man on the moon, it was made-for-tv;
stars and moon are not that far away, all we have is under a dome;
there are no satellites, no matter how upwards dishes are aimed, they
are really picking up terrestrial signals, from this Flat Earth;
partly paraphrased.

9330 is now much stronger than its nearest neighbor SW station, 9265
WINB; but way above other WBCQs: 7490v JBA, 6160v TOMBS. 0259 a few
notes of the menacing WLCR theme before cutoff the air. If I happened
to tune in now, I would have concluded it`s still AWOL. Cut back on
the air at *0300.7 with legal ID by AW, and then YL WLC ID also as on
WBCQ, more English. Presumably had to break for antenna rotation, but
no difference here before/after signal levels. HFCC shows at 0300 it
goes from 245 to 270 degrees, but also changes antenna designator from
805 to 216, huh? Both as only 250 kW. Surely it`s the exact same
Ampegon rotatable, but HFCC references:
805 LPH18/36.5/32.2/16.7/1.4/13.2/200
216 AHR(S)4/4/0.5
Maybe someone can explain that? From log periodic to rhombic? HFCC
provides no key or explanation to its lengthy antenna reference table
included in the zips with schedules (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Oct 12 at 2256, WRMI with rock is S9+20/30, despite
alleged SSE angle, strong enough to audiblize plus/minus 5 kHz
parasitic spurs --- but none detected now: problem fixed, or
intermittent; or differing transmitter units and/or antennas subject
to those? The messy modulation from TOMBS elsewhen could also be
responsible, not from that now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Oct 12 at 0324, VP signal in presumed Hindi from
presumed WRNO as nothing else is scheduled in A-21; usually much
stronger when on, but at that awkward 1-megameter distance; and was
missing last night just after 0100. It`s hard to believe this
transpolar signal accomplish any significant service to India at
8:45-9:30 am IST (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6932?-USB?, Oct 12 at 2259, pirate music I can`t get to
